It had been a long time since Cheyenne and Kraven had been together, with their relationship switching from heated passion to pure business. But as the two spent more and more time together, Kraven started to change ever so slowly. He was still the man, that the Rogue met so many months ago.

Recently, the Fallen had been more willing to help focus on the business side of Cheyenne's life. As well as being more open to what she wanted out of life, than what he wanted. The changes were still happening, as Kraven spent more time helping the Rogue train. With her usually kicking him around the trainning grounds.

The heated passion was still there from time to time, but there were becoming more moments of the pair just sitting and talking. With them learning more and more about the other, as well as mroe about the others habits. Which the Rogue learnt one of them as of late. Waking to find Kraven looking down at her as she slept.

He'd tease her that it was her snoring, getting a growl and a hard punch to the shoulder for his words. But as the months moved by, the truth was found out.. He was honest with ehr about it one day. Telling her that she looked more peacefull in sleep, as of late.

Several months had past since the night that Cheyenne shared her past with Kraven.. she'd become more vulnerable.. fragile in his presence with the knowledge that she could hide nothing from him. They rarely spoke of it, if ever - it was if it was a taboo topic to be brought up. Inside, they both knew that The Coming was well past it's time and that sooner, rather than later, she'd have to pay the price.

Over the last few months, as they'd chosen to stay mostly confined to the Estate Grounds, save the Rogue's nightly hunts, she'd felt the pull of Hell.. felt the calling of her fate, the caress of the very darkness that she was harboring inside her. She was as best as she could fit the pieces together.. demonic, dark, evil.. damned.

The fire's warmth caressed her pale skin, as she sat leaning back against their black leather couch downstairs. There was soft music playing in the background and she could smell the fresh snow that had recently fallen, covering the grounds of their house, and she remembered the warmth that coursed through her body as she put a hand to her swollen stomach. She was pregnant... Kraven's child was growing within her womb and she was at peace.. they were happy.

She could feel the life of the babe she carried in her womb, feel it stir.. feel the love that they both held within their hearts for the child that would be born in less than a month's time.

Her pale skin flushed slightly as Kraven watched her in sleep, her hand moving down her torso to lay over her flat stomach as she slept. Small circles she made within her sleep over the warm, silken flesh as a smile turned her lips.

She saw the love and worry that danced within Kraven's eyes as his hand found hers over her swollen stomach. She could feel the warmth of his aura surround them.. but even that could not hide the worry she felt emanating from him. She knew.. it was the same worry that she had been feeling, that had been keeping her from sleeping for more than an hour or two at best a night. It'd left her tired, weak and in pain - but she'd been doing her best to try and ease his concerns. She had to, for the hope of their unborn child, for him.. for her - for them.

"We just need to hold out a bit longer, soon the child will be born and once we've hidden the babe with the Guardians - we can finish this." Her voice was weak with the weariness that carrying a child brought with it, but it was also weakened even more by the rest that had been denied to her body. She'd seen him nod and offered him what she'd hoped was a strong and vibrant smile.

She murmured softly, incoherently in her sleep as she turned now towards Kraven, her free hand reaching towards him as if seeking him. Her fingertips were like ice to the touch as they laid on his flesh - seconds after, icey blue eyes flew open and a shudder coursed through her body. Slowly she willed her body to calm as she caressed Kraven's chest and her gaze sought out his own. She offered him a sleepy smile as she pushed herself back against the headboard, pulling the sheet with her. "How long have ya been watching me this time?"
