His rough hands felt like the softest silks ever made when they gently caressed your belly. Your eyes never left your husband's face, observing the gentleness that somehow cracked through the hard shell of a man, the leader of Zaun.

It's how he's feeling now, so vulnerable to you and the child you were carrying inside you. When you first revealed your pregnancy, the man was anything but excited. For even he had enemies, even with his own 'council' members, whom he wouldn't even trust to be alone with a dog for a minute.

A small shiver riddled your body when Silco planted a kiss on your stomach. "They're growing very fast." He murmured against your skin. "Such a strong child for our growing nation."
