Wyntragosa's Surprise

Wyntragosa had been feeling strange for the past few days. A random points she'd feel unbalanced and would often had to grab something to support herself. It wasn't until the second week of her strange illness that she started noticing her mortal form started to react. Her breasts had become tender and she was easily tired. Wyntragosa despised having to go to mortal healers for anything that she could simply cure using poultices or magic, so she continued to take potions. After two more weeks, she started feeling sharp pains in her abdomen and she had started to notice blood in her undergarments. Wyntragosa started to grow worried so she finally caved and went to see a mortal healer. She was in for a surprise when the healer said that she had sensed life within her. Wyntragosa almost broke down, she never knew that she was with child. All this time being "ill" she had a child growing inside her. She didn't need to ask who the father was, she had only laid with Soranaku during a night that she decided to try a mortal drink called wine.

Her biggest question was if she were going to give live birth or lay an egg to later hatch, she never experienced pregnancy within her brood since all of the females stayed in the maternity caves or went away to have their young. She had to tell somebody. She had a plethora of emotions that she needed to release as well as advice. This was going to be her first time as a mother and she could use all the help she could get. She was in luck that she decided to travel to Silvermoon for a healer for that meant that she could confide in Lunastrasza.

When she had arrived at the grand estate of the Aspect, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door. She began to feel dread rise within her. What as she going to do? how would Soranaku react? Her thoughts were interrupted by the door opening, Lunastrasza on the other side. Wyntragosa cleared her throat and began to fidget,

"M-May I come in my lady?" she asked "There is something I need to tell you..." Wyntragosa bit her lip as her eyes met the Aspect, but relief washed over her when she didn't question her urgency and gestured her inside with a sweet smile. She was lead to a sitting room and motioned to sit on a plush sofa, Lunastrasza sitting next to her. before the Aspect could question what the blue needed, Wyntragosa opened her mouth to speak,

"Lady Luna... I think I'm with child..." she blurted out. Lunastrasza looked surprised for a split second, "Wh…What?! Who is the father, my friend?" she asked in astonishment. Wyntragosa gulped down a heavy feeling in her throat before taking a deep breath "I-I think it’s Soran. He’s the only one I have lain with, b-but I don’t know how to tell him since he is never serious when I want him to be." Wyntragosa suddenly felt very cold, maybe this was a mistake. But Lunastrasza only smiled, "Well, now he has to be serious. Just know that you always have my support, Wyntragosa. Through anything." She reached out to clasp her shoulder. "You have to tell him. A child isn’t just something to joke around about." Lunastrasza's smile returned as she looked at the blue dragoness "Thank you my lady" Wyntragosa said with a smile "I’m also worried about how he will act upon the news, from my experiences with mortals, news like this usually isn’t all that great…" Wyntragosa placed a hand on her abdomen and sighed.

Lunastrasza reached forward to place a hand over Wyntragosa's to ear her attention, once eye contact was made she spoke, "He will react a bit strongly at first, I believe…but if he truly loves you then he will be extremely happy and understanding after processing it a bit." Luna smiled. "You’re going to be fine either way, this I promise you." Wyntragosa sighed. It was time to confess, “To tell you the truth, we weren’t exactly clear minded… We had tried something the mortals call wine and became rather addled…” Wyntragosa said in a nervous voice “We have yet to discuss that night and I don’t think his feelings for me are the same as mine…” Wyntragosa sighed heavily, stroking her slightly swollen belly once more “on a brighter note,” Wyntragosa said to change the mood in the room “I want you to be the godmother…” she said with a genuine smile.

To that Luna laughed a bit. “Well, even if you do not have his support, you have all of us, Asha, my consorts, Syran, everyone. We are more than willing to help you.” She placed her hand over Wyntragosa’s comfortingly. “…Really? I would be honored to be this child’s godmother.” Wyntragosa smiled, feeling the strange substance that mortals called tears start to well up in her eyes “Thank you my lady,” she said “and yes,” Wyntragosa paused to wipe away a tear that began to roll down her cheek, making her runes glow upon the contact “you are the best candidate for a godmother, Syran too,” Wyntragosa felt a wave of emotions and chuckled “these mood swings are no joke,” she chuckled. "It is no problem, my friend." Luna replied with another bright smile. "And believe me, I know. The morning sickness is the worst, in my opinion. And the heartburn. And having to go to the bathroom every five minutes." She rolled her eyes. "Ugh, I don’t think I’m going to be having another baby for a very, VERY long time. I just had my son Aurumustrasz and I am utterly done with childbirth."

Wyntragosa felt dread upon hearing more about the “horrors” of pregnancy “I-I thought the cramps and tender breasts were the only symptoms next to the nausea…” Wyntragosa stammered “there is more?!” she asked.

Wyntragosa returned to her small apartment in Silvermoon with a heavy sigh. It was around dusk and she was exhausted. She tossed the gilded key into a bowl settled on a door-side table and kicked off her slippers. the cold marble flooring feeling good against her sore and swollen feet. She moved past her sitting area and down the short corridor leading to her small bed chambers. She was surprised to find Soranaku sprawled out on her bed, snoring rather loudly, actually in his male Kaldorei form rather than his female Draenic form. Wyntragosa took this time to move to a privacy screen to change into a loose-fitting azure gossamer nightgown. She ran her fingers through the waves that was her hair as she emerged from behind the privacy screen, humming a soft tune sung by mortals. As she sat on her bed, her hands tangled in her hair as she braided it, Soranaku had sat up and placed his chin on her shoulder, wrapping his arms loosely under her breasts "I was wondering when you were coming home..." He said with a sleepy tone "I want to go get some more of that Wine stuff but I don't know what it looks like..." he muttered. Wyntragosa felt her heart drop, she had to tell him, with a sigh she broke free of Soranaku's arms and patted the space beside her, he surprisingly obeyed and sat next to her, a hopefully look on his face.

"Sora," she started "do you remember that night when we first tried wine?" she asked. Soranaku nodded, a wide smile on his face "are we going to go get some more?" he asked. Wyntragosa shook her head and placed a hand over his, "no Sora," she said "I need you to be serious about this, but remember when we woke up the next morning, learning that we had a passionate night?" Soranaku nodded once more "are we going to do that again as well?" he asked "I rather liked that, it felt nice," Wyntragosa blushed at that and had to clear her throat as she got herself back on track "Sora please," she said. Soranaku looked sad for a moment before Wyntragosa took up his hands and actually kissed his knuckles "Sora, I'm with child," she said after seeming like she was fighting to say the words.

Soranaku's eyes went wide as he pulled his hands free. He slumped as the words continued to sink in, Wyntragosa felt worried for a moment before he stood and moved over to the window that overlooked the Court of the Sun, the Royal District of Silvermoon. He was silent for too long which made Wyntragosa nervous, so she stood up and walked up to him. She placed a hand on his shoulder and moved to look him in the face. Upon the meeting of their eyes, Soranaku pulled her into a tight embrace and nuzzled  his face into the crook of her neck, the stubble on his jaw scratching along her skin, sending chills down her spine. She returned his embrace just moments before he released it, looking into her amber eyes, his thumbs caressing her cheeks, causing the runes on her face to start to glow from the nether energy running within him.

"You're not upset, are you? Wyntragosa asked as she placed her hands on his, Soranaku gave a toothy smile "Why would I be upset?" he asked "sure the news caught me by surprise, but I'm going to be a father," Soranaku answered "the news of parenthood should never be grim," he added. Wyntragosa started to tear up. She had envisioned the outcome to be a thousand times different and that was what had worried her. She rose on the balls of her feet and placed a gentle peck on Soranaku's cheek in which he turned into a lip-on-lip kiss, taking her into his arms and spinning around before falling back on her bed.
