See You Soon

I wake up to a soft hand on my face. Knowing exactly who it is, a smile wiggles onto my face. I open my eyes, thankful that the curtains are closed. Beside me, in one of my shirts and a pair of tights, is my mate. I can't help but admire her, and how beautiful she is. She's gained a lot of weight, the pregnancy definitely helping her do it. Her face is no longer lean and ghoulish. Her rosy cheeks actually hold a bit of chub. Her freckles stand out much more with it.

I reach up to touch her cheek, brushing my thumb against her freckles. I'm gonna miss being able to touch her. I'm gonna go out of my mind. I mean, I'm sure I'll become used to it but for those initial weeks, or months, or years, however long it takes me . . . it's gonna be hell. Even after I get used to it, it's gonna suck.
