Summary: Yuki has a little trouble sleeping.
All was quiet except for the soft sound of her breathing next to him. Bouts of insomnia were not an unusual occurrence for Yuki Sohma. He had often suffered from the syndrome during his turbulent childhood but they had decreased as his life came together. Watching the sleeping silhouette of Saki was comforting. Whether she was asleep or awake she was truly a lovely sight. He allowed his eyes to scan her body, memorizing every inch of her beautiful form. Slowly his eyes came to rest on the small swell of her belly.
The thought of their child growing within her was both exciting and frightening. He worried if he would make a good father after all his parents were terrible parents. Knowing that he wasn't his father and that Saki was nothing like his mother did manage to offer some comfort. Memories of his parents trying to intimidate Saki made him snicker softly.
"Still awake?" Saki asked groggily, shifting to her side to face him.
"Yes, I'm sorry I woke you," he whispered, returning to lying flat on his back. "Go back to sleep."
Saki smiled gently placing her hand on his cheek before kissing him sweetly. In the time that they had been married they had tested the boundaries of the curse, and found that they could get away with quite a bit before triggering a transformation. Saki moved closer to Yuki resting her head on his shoulder. She was close enough that he could feel her small belly against his arm. Suddenly he felt a small movement from her belly.
"Did the baby kick?" he asked.
"No, but he's squirming," she answered, causing Yuki to slightly frown with worry. "It's okay, he'll settle down in a moment," she added reassuringly.
Yuki clasped Saki's hand and brushed his lips over her knuckles. He truly loved feeling the warmth of her body near him. He longed to hug her tightly without worrying about changing into a rat, but he would have to settle for what the curse would allow him. Lying his cheek against her hair, he inhaled the light scent of jasmine emanating from it. Slowly his eyes started feeling heavy as he finally fell into slumber.
"Good night," Saki whispered as she too drifted off to sleep.
