The last month had been difficult. Between Gunner missing and Anna chasing after him, she rarely saw friendly faces beyond Sebastian. The one good thing was that it seemed as though Sebastian's new guardian wasn't in league with his parents. In fact, she had been pretty helpful but not in an overbearing type way. It was nice to have someone around who didn't assume you couldn't do anything. Although, with Sebastian and Anna both being so distracted, she kind of missed the two of them coddling her... A reminder of when her being pregnant was the biggest worry in any of their lives.
Being stuck at Court with Sebastian's parents wasn't favourable either... The two of them continued to berate her, their relationship, or their unborn child at every moment they could. Luckily, they hadn't had a repeat of the take situation thanks to the antidepressants that Serena was currently on. However, they didn't stop her from still having low moments. Maybe it was due to the fact that she couldn't get in contact with her own family. Her mother was so out of it when she left that Serena was still unsure if the woman even knew that she had. Not to mention, contacting her mother might remind her father about her and no matter how well Jace compulsed the man, she didn't want to risk him finding her again. All that added up to her not being able to share her happiness with her family. She had hoped at one point that his parents might come around... That they might come to be happy for the two of them and celebrate their marriage and child. That looked like it was never going to happen though. Most people got two families out of getting married, Serena and Sebastian weren't even going to get one.
She placed her hand on her stomach that was protruding quite a bit now and it was quite clear that she was pregnant. Looking down at it, she smiled. She supposed that Sebastian and her didn't need their families when they were starting their own. She was pulled out of her thoughts when Sebastian spoke and looked up at him. The medication had been dampening their bond as of late, which made her worry about all the feelings that she couldn't get a read on now... She had become so used to just knowing that she had forgotten what those emotions just looked like. Although, this was the first time in a long time that she knew that all the feelings in her head were her own. She stood, with a slight amount of trouble and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around him. Her belly pressed against him, keeping the rest of them a few inches apart. Serena tucked a piece of his hair behind his ear and smiled, "I'm fine... Just thinking... A lots changed in a such a short amount of time," She explained quietly.
She took hold of one of his hands and moved it to her stomach, "Some good, some bad... It's just a lot to think about."
Serena looked up at him and bit her lip slightly. Not being able to be in his head worried her, it made her feel unsure. However, she preferred being unsure rather than unstable. She squeezed his hand a little, "Nothing... has changed between us, right?"
