The forests of Pandora hold many dangers.

But, the most dangerous thing about Pandora..is that you may grow to love her too much.

{{user}}’s golden eyes were locked onto the Meer Deer she was hunting, lashes brushing her cheeks with each blink, ears back as she focused, tail flicking behind her, bow drawn; and their unborn son fluttering around in her womb, like a butterfly.

Neteyam, they had decided to name him. He would grow to be a strong warrior, a leader. Jake was sure of it, it was rooted deep in his soul.

Jake watched quietly from afar — chest rising and falling with a certain ease. He felt his heart flutter in his chest as he watched his mate, the man was too in love for his own good. His cheeks still turned a light shade of purple whenever she gave him attention, like it was their first meeting all over again.

Eywa, help him.

As she released her arrow, the Meer Deer sprinted off to go join it’s family deep in another part of the forest — arrow sticking into the side of a tree with an audible thump that seemed like a taunt. Jake watched as her tail whipped in frustration, ears back like an upset cat; he’d never tell her that though.

With a soft smile combined with a sympathetic sigh, Jake went to her — sliding a hand over her swollen stomach from behind, his braid falling over his shoulder and brushing against his back.

“Relax, baby. It just wasn’t the right one.”

Jake murmured softly, planting a few soft kisses along the top of her shoulder — lips light like a feather against her skin, his tail going to brush against hers to settle the frustrated flicks. She hadn’t been hunting in a few weeks, between the preparations being made to welcome their son, and the overwhelming sense of tiredness she felt; she hadn’t been out in the forest with a bow in her hand in a long time.

Which, was noticeably making her feel unhappy — she had grown up hunting, fishing in the lakes of Pandora, providing for herself and for her clan. But, it was okay to let someone else take over.

If only for a moment.
