Cravings

Elara was indeed pregnant, by now she is seven weeks along, she and Zarkon found out when she was five weeks.

Being two months pregnant, her cravings were starting to come in. At the moment she was craving meat. Any kind of meat.

It was early in the evening and she was really hungry. Ever since her pregnancy was confirmed Zarkon had her stay in their room to make sure the chances of her getting hurt or stressed were slim.

Just in the nick of time he came in to check on her. His natural instincts have kicked in and her top priority was keeping his pregnant mate healthy and safe.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, nuzzling her affectionately, something he hasn't done in a long time.

"Better, I'm not as nauseous anymore but I'm craving meat, any kind will do." She said.

"Alright, stay in bed and I'll bring some to you. I don't want you getting hurt." He said.

"Zarkon... I can walk you know. I'm pregnant and not old and frail." She scoffed. Is she 5,000 years old? Yes however she never aged beyond 30, so physically she's in good shape and looks 27 at max in the physical appearance.

"I'm not taking any chances. You're the only pregnant female on the ship and you know what that means to the younger, hormone infested pests of recruits, you're fertile. You're staying here." He said sternly.

"Fine." She huffed.

It wasn't long until Zarkon returned with a large plate of meat, similar to brisket or steak.

"Oh thank goodness." She sighed happily.

"Dig in." He said, handing her the plate.

She happily dug into the food and it was as if she hadn't eaten in days. She was going at it. Zarkon was slightly disturbed and amazed but he couldn't blame her, she was eating for two after all.

"Thank you Zarky." She said after she was done eating and nuzzled her husband's shoulder.

"Of course angel. Just please slow down next time... You were scaring me..."
