I remember the first day I met you, like it was yesterday.
You wore a green dress. I remember it clearly because it matched your green eyes. As you danced to that old distasteful music, I remember just being stuck in that moment.
I didn't notice until much later that you had a scar on your pale face, nor did I care.
You Angel genes showed brightly in your platinum pink hair.
It was short and curly. It immediately had my attention.
I was there for a meeting, but at that moment, I forgot about it completely. Your being took away my mind completely.
When I returned back to reality, I was nervous, shaking as we danced together.
"Yeah, to be honest, I was a little creeper out by you. A random kid suddenly approached me as I was dancing with my dad, asking for a dance."
My beautiful wife turned to look at me with a troubled expression. She was sitting in my knees just relaxing eating some orange slices as we watched a movie.
"Your hair was so long too. It was intimidating because you seemed like a noble. Well, you were..."
She leaned more onto my chest with a sigh as she plopped another orange slice into her mouth.
This adoroble creature I was talking to was my wife Hana.
We've been married for 2 millenia.
As the 2 of are of a very special species.
My wife is a half demon - half angel child. A miracle baby that happened between two races should not have been able to reproduce with one another.
Demons and angels don't hate each other. It is more so a difference in culture.
Demons value purity and elegance, while Angles value purity and obedience. Thus, the two clash often in many ways.
Women rights are very different in each of the cultures as well.
Both don't like their women single and working. But that is because Demons have a severe lack of women in their lives. Only 10 women are born in a million babies. Making the demon race an extremely small race in numbers.
While angels just follow God's word. God put women under men, and that is how they are treated.
Thus, my wife is a creation of both. A very rare individual.
An individual who has been through a lot because of her birth.
The scar was made by her own family members, and when we met, her family sold her for the misley 3 I'll horses.
Her biological parents passed when she was very young. After which she was adopted by an elderly couple.
And I?
Well, 2 Millenia ago, I was the 2nd born prince of the Pheonix Royal Family.
I am as pure as a demon can be.
My silver hair and red eyes are a clear sign of that.
On the day I met my wife, I fell in love with her at first sight.
I promptly asked to marry her.
We were married in a weeks time.
The elderly human couple hated and loved me for it.
Because they could pass in peace knowing they finished their duty, but also hated me for taking my wife away right after she hit adulthood.
We were both only 16 at the time.
Born a few months from each other.
After marriage, my family found out about my wives family. They didn't like that I married a halfie.
So they cut me off from their lives.
They often told me that if I didn't divorce my wife, I would not be welcome back.
But was promptly accepted back only 100 years later.
They needed my abilities as the second son.
Since then, my family has transformed, from a royal family, into a mafia.
That seemed like the best way to stay in power and earn money while being undercover. Keeping our demon identity a secret, and Angels keeping theirs, was the most important secret ever.
If humans found out about a whole society living under their nose, they would exterminate us in one day.
As anything unusual to humans must be eliminated.
That is why in today's year, 20XX. Demons and angels are nothing but myths. Many rumors about each race were created long ago to stop humans from finding out the truth.
"Do you have to go to work tomorrow?"
My wife popped another orange piece in her mouth and looked at me.
"Yes, why? My father needed some help with the paperwork."
I answered, peeling another orange for her with a smile.
"Well, I don't wanna be alone at home every day." - Hana (I will add their names to help understand who's speaking)
"Nothing I can do about it, Hon. Didn't you say there was this cafe you liked recently? You could go there." -Ren
"It's been 5 years already, so I can't... if I continue going, they'll notice my lack of againg..." -Hana
She let out a sad sigh.
"Then how about I call in late tomorrow, and we eat breakfast together tomorrow?" -Ren
She still looked disappointed but also happier than she was a moment ago. She gave me a hug and then a kiss. She seemed satisfied with my recommendation.
We finished the movie.
"Aren't you eating a lot of citrusy fruits recently?" -Ren
I looked at her as she was cutting up some lemons to eat with sugar.
"Am I? I've been craving so many lately..." -Hana
"You want some?" -Hana
Before I could even deny the offer, she had already brought me a plate of lemons covered in sugar.
"They help me sleep." She smiled as she took a big bite of one of the lemon slices.
"Should we get a pet?"
She asked as we were getting ready for bed in our small bedroom.
"A pet?" -Ren
"Mmm, I feel like I'll feel less lonely if we had a dog or a cat or a bunny." -Hana
"I mean, sure, we can look at some shelters tomorrow as we go back from breakfast." -Ren
This made her very happy. As we fell asleep hugging throughout the night.
"You are 2 months pregnant."
Those words were something I was not expecting to hear.
My dearest husband seemed extremely worried as he went to work, so I just wanted to check at the doctor's, just to ease his worry...
I was not expecting such big news...
"You seem very surprised, is it an unexpected pregnancy?" The doctor gave me a sympathetic look. I thought for a second and decided to tell her everything.
"My husband is a demon. A very high ranking demon. I do have some demon blood in my veins, but it is a very weak trait. When we got married we tried to have a baby many times, but were told that we won't ever be able to have a child." -Hana
"I see. Was your doctor also...?"
"Ah yes, he was a demon. My husband's family wanted me to get tested. There we found out that I'm prominently an Angel. That is why us having children was ruled out really early on." -Hana
The doctor looked down at my papers and spoke with a wide smile: "That doctor should have sent you towards an Angel doctor if that was the case. However, looking at your blood work it seems that you are pregnant. Since this is an Angel hospital I won't be able to provide you with termination options, but I can forward you towards some Demon doctors."
I shook my head no.
After that we had discussions about pregnancy plans and my options and soon after I left the hospital.
As I left I was filled with this feeling of excitement and giddiness that I've never felt before.
I remembered what doctor told me
'Even if what your old doctor said was true, your ability to concive should not have been completely ruled out. Your husband is a healthy young demon, you are a very healthy young halfling. You having children was never out of the question, think of it as a rarity.'
I happily hopped towards the Café near the clinic, bought myself some fruity tee and ran towards my husband's work office.
My husband's is not the biggest fan of me coming to visit his workplace.
I am seen as Boss' wife, so no one mistreated me, but they do have THE looks in their eyes. Not all, but many younger members.
I approached the gate of the small office building in the middle of the bustling city, but was quickly stopped with a harsh grab at my shoulder.
I was confused as this has never happened with Liam, the door guard, before.
But when I looked at the perpetrator, I was greeted by a very young and pretty face in return.
There was a young, around 21 years old, fresh looking face glaring at me.
"Miss, this area is off limits." The young man said with a pretty stern voice and look on his face. It seems like he was yet to be informed about my existence.
"Is it?" I responded in cutesy way. I thought playing dumb would be pretty fun in this scenario.
"Are you guarding the doors alone?"
I asked him at which he responded with 'None of your business'. Cursed me out and told me to leave.
I found it very funny.
I knew that Liam was in charge of training the newbies and assumed he probably left the kid alone for a bit. So waiting would be perfect.
I was not approaching the door anymore, so he couldn't do anything to me. I was just standing at the side.
However, it was winter, and I was getting cold. I was getting worried as well, because now I'm sharing my body with our future child. I couldn't catch a cold.
I wad tempted to call Ren, but just as I took out my phone I heard a deep voice
"Mistress?!"
It was Liam, running towards me holding a bag from a pharmacy near the office.
"OH Liam. Hello." I turned around and smiled at bewildered Liam.
"OH dear, what are you doing here. Boss didn't inform me about you coming over..."
"Ah I came by because I have something important to talk to Ren about. Is he in?"
As we were talking the newbie approached us in confusion.
"Yeah, but why are you outside. Boss is in. Please go inside and warm up."
I nodded with a smile and passed by the newbie.
It seems that Liam called Ren, and told him about me as well, because Ren was rushing down the stairs as soon as I stepped in.
"Ah, what are you doing here so early. I told you to rest so that we can go to the Café later..."
I giggled and was promptly escorted to his office by Ren himself.
His office was very simple. He had one desk, a chair and a TV. Just a few years back he added a couch and a resting area in case I come over to visit him. He warms my heart sometimes.
"I bought us some lunch!" I waved the tea I bought at the Café as he came over and gave me a big hug.
"Did you wait outside for long" I shook my head no, he kissed my forehead.
It seems that he was measuring my body temperature with a kiss, because he had a worried expression on his face.
"You are still feverish, you should've stayed home..."
"I actually went to the hospital!" I explained taking out the prescription bag I received from my doctor. He showed me a worried expression and slowly took the small bag I was holding from my hands.
"This is actually the reason I came over. Come on, look inside it" I smiled and pushed him towards opening the bag.
As soon as he looked inside the bag, his eyes went wide. He looked at me in disbelief and gave me a wide smile. Even teared up a little.
"You are pregnant?"
I nodded and he gave me a tight hug.
Ren always wanted a baby, we even considered adopting if a demon/angel/halfing was up for adoption. His reaction made me sure that he would be a good dad.
The doctor told me another thing: 'Since you are a half, and this baby will mostlikely be a demon, I recommend giving it up. Your demon trait is too low to be able to house a demon baby. There is a high chance you will die.'
I rejected the doctor's recommendation. I knew I wouldn't die, but if I did, I wanted to leave my husband something of me in this world.
As someone who was never loved, I wanted to preserve his love in any way I could.
I'm not very fond of life anyway, if I was offered a high enough price to die for, I would do it.
But it would break my husband's heart.
"Let us celebrate!" My husband spoke through sniffles.
I decided I will bring my husband the greatest happiness in the whole wide world, by risking my life for something he would cherish the most.
