It's what's inside that counts

A Python Naga billionare was struggling to find someone who doesn't like him just for his money or power, he just might've found that person in a form of a simple small town fox girl.


The cool paris air flow through the paved road as a young red furred fox walked down the road to a nearby city. She had an electronic keyboard strapped on her back and wore a red top with blue jeans and black high heels with her tail swishing behind her.

"Ooohh. It's cool out here." the fox said as she looked up at the clouds. 'I hope it doesn't rain, this sun is great for my fur.' she thought as while there were some in the sky, none of them looked like it was heavy.

She was walking down a street and marveled at the sights and numerous people walking about. "Hmm, I wonder what this city will look like? I never actually been there before." she said to herself. 'Maybe I should try and buy a map before it gets dark out.'

As she walked by other travelers, she greeted them as they greeted her. She then noticed one of the travellers walking to her. He was a black scaled python slithering on the street who had a top hat and black suit with a white undershirt and cane in hand.

"Good afternoon sir. How are you doing today?"

"Oh, well I'm doing just fine my dear." he replied with a french accent. "Might I ask the same to you?"

"I'm fine, thank you for asking, I'm on my way to the next town for my traveling musician hobby."

"Oh? You travel on your own my dear?"

"Yes, I do. Though I do have a home on my own, I like to travel and share my talents with others." she said smiling kindly. "Where are you going?"

"Well it's such a nice day out that I figured these old scales of mine could use some sunshine." he replied while flicking his tongue out.

"It is. Hopefully it stays that way." she said before gasping a bit. "Oh my, we been talking we don't even know each other's names. I'm Annabelle."

"You may call me Paul, and I apologize for not asking first, it's rude to make a lady introduce herself first without asking."

Annabelle smiled, "All is forgiven, while we have some time, would you care to listen to one of my songs?" she offered taking her keyboard.

"Well I'd be delighted to hear your music my dear."

She smiled as she got her posture ready. "Concerto for Clarinet in B-flat major." she stated before she started to play.

Paul focused as her fingers danced on the keys while nodding his head as others passing by stopped to watch and listen.

"Wow, how graceful." a poodle stated.

"I had no idea there would be street performing today." remarked a mongoose.

"She must be gifted with pianos." A robin said.

Annabelle soaked up the praise while closing her eyes since it helped her focus on the flow of the song. The area was soon filled with the notes the keyboard made as she pressed on. 'Alright, now we're getting somewhere.'

The group got bigger as more travellers stopped by to listen as Paul stared at the fox musician.

'I'm amazed, she plays a beautiful song and all without showing fear, hesitation, or shyness.' he thought as she bobs her head a bit as she plays. 'She may not give the personality of a noble woman, but she still retains quite the pride in her stance and appearance.'

She ended the the song as she opens her eyes with a smile. She gave a bow which made the crowd clap and cheer with Paul being one of them. "Thank you all for enjoying my music."

"Encore! Encore! Encore!" chanted the crowd.

"I would love to, but if I do that, I might not be able to reach the next city by nightfall." she said sadly. She hoisted her keyboard back on her back as the crowd were disappointed before making her way around them. "Maybe some other time." 'Provided I can find my way back.'

They cheered as they waved her off.

"Wait my dear." spoke Paul who slithered after her. "Must you be off so soon?"

"Well, the sun is starting to move towards the mountains and I'd rather sleep in a warm bed and not travel at night." Annabelle said.

"Then perhaps I can help." he smiled. "I live in a small mansion on the other side of town, would you consider staying there until tomorrow? Consider it my way of saying how beautiful you sounded."

"You live in a mansion?" she asked surprised as she blushes a bit at the offer. "I appreciate it, but I don't want to be a burden." she said politely.

"It's no burden at all. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind the extra company." Paul said smiling.

Annabelle thought about it, "Well if you insist, I'll take you on your offer. Thank you."

"Excellent my dear." he held her hand and began to lead her with a smile. "Although be warned, it's a bit small."

"Small?" she asked confused.

(Later)

She went wide eyed looking at the huge mansion with an open jaw. "Okay... So which part of it is small?" she asked in disbelief.

"The whole thing, it use to be bigger, but over time a few wings had to be taken down since they couldn't be taken care of as much as the rest."

Annabelle looks at the building. 'If this is small compared to him, I wonder what it looked like before the renovation.'

"Come inside." he nodded before slithering towards the doors. He opened it and the vixen entered and gasped at the grand hallway as it was decorated with fine carpet and priceless art statues and paintings near the walls. "Sorry if it seems a little messy, I don't have many visitors."

"Not at all, this place is breathtaking." she said looking around. 'Just how rich is he? The richest in all of town?'

"Well make yourself at home. Need anything, coffee, tea, water?"

"Well, I'm a little thirsty for some water."

"Sebastian!" he yelled out making her jump.

Moment's later, a Komodo Dragon wearing a tuxedo entered, "Yes sir?"

"Give my guest here some water at once."

"Right away sir." he said moving to her. "Good day madam." he said before passing by,

"Wow, you even have a servant?"

"Several, but the rest are on vacation."

"Must be hard."

"Not at all." he replied as Sebastian came back with a cup of water on a tray.

"Your water madam." he said bowing.

"Thanks." she replied taking it and took a sip as he stood and walked away. "So what's it like around here?"

"It's nice and peaceful. Occasionally I have someone offering ideas about the mansion on decorating it." he said.

"How did you get to be so...you know."

"Rich?"

"Yes."

"My grandfather migrated here from Germany and was a pioneer. He was struggling to make ends meet for some time before he miraculously discovered an untouched diamond refuge in the mines. He took that and made it in major company in clothing industries and the wealth passed down our generations to eventually me." he explained. "You could say I'm rich enough to rival the mayor of Paris if I chose to."

"It seems you must be happy if you have all this." she guessed taking another sip.

"Perhaps, but it can be lonely." he replied with a hiss while slithering ahead of her. "Care for a tour my dear?"

"I would love that." she said getting up.

And so they went through the mansion, which took some time, of him showing the different rooms from bedrooms, bathrooms, recreational rooms, and even the garden with numerous flower bushes.

"This is so lovely." she said admiring the different areas.

"Thank you, it warms my heart to hear that from such a lovely woman."

She blushed a bit from the words. "You're too kind yourself Paul." she said as they walk. "Oh! That reminds me, where am I gonna be sleeping?" she asked as she noted some bedrooms they passed. "Any of them for guest?"

"You'll be sleeping in one of the master bedrooms."

"Thank you." she said before asking. "How many master bedrooms you have?"

"Two, one I sleep in, all by myself."

Annabelle nods, looking downward a bit. "That sounds rather lonely."

"Not to worry, I'm positive it may change in the future." he smiled. "Shall I show you to it?"

"Sure, thank you for your hospitality." she said bowing her head.

"No thanks are necessary." he said as he lead the vixen to one of the master bedrooms. He opened it up while she gasped and went wide eyed.

The room was suited with purple wall paper and the bed was large for two, adorned with purple and gold blankets.

"Oh...my god."

"Is it too much Annabelle?" he asked looking at the room.

"Well...if you think this is right for me, who am I to deny it?" she said moving to the bed. "See you in the morning."

"Sweet dreams my dear." he said before closing the door, leaving Annabelle alone in the room. He turned and slithered away with a smirk and devious glint. "Sebastian!"

As before, the Komodo Dragon approached. "Yes sir?"

"I have a good feeling about this one."

"She does have a proper, but caring air about her when I saw her." he replied while Paul passed him. "But are you sure? What makes her different than all the others?"

The python naga paused for a moment and his arms moved behind his back. "Call it a gut feeling Sebastian, but the fact she was traveling across Paris and I happened to meet her seems like a good sign to me. Besides, she didn't sound like some of the gold diggers I've met in the past."

"I hope you're right sir. Is there anything I can do for you at the moment?" he asked.

"Bring out some wine for tomorrow, I want to treat her at breakfast."

He nods as he heads off.

(Next morning.)

Annabelle yawned while stretching her arms out above her head. "Mmmphh... Wow, I slept so great." she said getting up. "These sheets felt like a cloud."

She went to a dresser and started to brush her fur while looking in a mirror. "Paul was very generous to me ever since we met. It's kinda surprising that he's single." she said to herself as she looked at the room. 'Although... most likely a lot of women would just be with him just because of his money.'

She made sure she looked fine before heading out of the room and noticed the smell of food down the hall. "Mmm.. something smells good." she said moving to follow the smell. She felt her stomach grumble reminding her she didn't have dinner last night.

She made it to the kitchen and gasped at what she saw. There was a large breakfast set up on the table with food that looked high and fancy. "Oh my!" she covered her mouth at the sight at such a feast.

"Good morning my dear." spoke Paul drinking some coffee sitting at the other end. "Sleep well?"

"Very much thank you." she smiled. "I hope you did too?"

"Of course, now come and sit down, Sebastian made quite the feast this morning."

Annabelle looked at all the food. "It's looks good and all, but I seriously doubt we could eat it all." she said sitting down.

"Not to worry, anything we can't finish can be saved for later. Trust me, it's worth keeping around as much as you can."

"Alright then." Annabelle took some pancakes and eggs, and a cup of coffee. "Do you have any family or relatives near here?" she asked.

"Sadly no, the only ones around are my cousins, but they're spread out among the country so it's not easy getting in contact with them."

"I see." She said eating a little. "You made any friends growing up?"

"Tons from boarding school, numerous of them have started their own businesses, but not as financially sound as my own." he said digging in as well.

"Well that's pretty good that they at least have businesses of their own." she replied digging into her eggs. "Any hobbies? What do you enjoy doing in your free time?"

"I'm a fan of seeing how the stocks rise and fall, but for any that don't bore others to tears would have to be gardening."

"I can see that." Annabelle smiles, "Your garden looked very beautiful out there. Many flowers and hedges looked neatly trimmed."

"Well as my father use to say, practice makes perfect."

Annabelle smiles as they enjoy small talk until they finished eating. When she looked at the time she stood up and rubbed her stomach. "Thanks again for letting me stay, and for breakfast, but I better get moving on to the next town." she bows her head respectfully. "Hopefully we meet again in the future."

'No, I need to keep her around here.' he thought as he got up. "Hold on, I understand you have places to be, but I also appreciate our time being here." he takes out a bottle of wine and two glasses, "Let's say we have a toast to commemorate this moment?"

"Hmmm, well...I usually don't drink it that much, but it couldn't hurt." Annabelle moved over to sit next to him as he poured the two of them a glass of wine.

"I think you'll find this bottle is quite aged, just about perfection." he said as he raised his glass. "To meeting new friends."

"To meeting new friends." They clanged their glass and each took a sip. "Oohh, feels smooth." She looked at the python and couldn't help but ask. "Why are you still alone? Couldn't you find someone to be with?"

"Oh trust me my dear, I have." he nodded. "Time and time again I've tried to find that one companion, but they usually just like me for my riches, influence, power, or all of the above."

"As I thought." she closed her eyes, "It would be difficult to find someone who likes you for who you are inside."

"Yes, plus most of them tended to change their bodies, quite a lot." he hissed. "Far too much plastic if you catch my drift."

She nodded her head in understanding. "I'm sorry to hear that." Annabelle said sipping a bit. "It must be hard for you."

"Believe me, I've actually grown use to it, sad to say."

"Well I hope your luck changes soon." she said smiling. "You're a good person Paul, I hope you find someone who loves you for who you are."

"Much obliged my dear, much obliged."

"So, what was your life like before going out on your own?"

"It was mostly quiet, I'm not from someone who's rich or famous, but it's a happy life I have." she said. "I had a good education during school and my parents raised me well."

"I see..." he said as he wondered, "Say, would you like a massage?"

"You know how to do massages?"

"I am more than just a charming serpent you know?" he chuckled as he cracks his knuckles. "Care to lay down on the floor or would you prefer using one of the beds?"

"Hmm... rather not use the floor, so let's use a bed." she said smiling as she got up.

'Perfect.' he thought before the two got up and headed off to her bed. "It'll be enjoyable my dear. I promise."

She moved onto the bed and layed on her stomach while he slithered up next to her. 'He calls me dear a lot. It's sweet, but it's kinda odd the way he says it.'

He moved his hands down and began to rub and caress her shoulders.

Annabelle relaxed as he moved his hands and pressed on them. She felt her body slowly adjust and relax while his hands moved in circles around the shoulders and moved onto her back. She hums from the feeling as she spoke. "You took massaging classes before?"

"Yes, you could say it was one of my many talents in high school."

"That's pretty impressive." she said. "I want to learn how to do that."

"Well I'd be happy to teach you, but I understand you'll have to be on your way after this is done." he spoke while hoping she took the small hint.

"Yeah..." she said looking down a bit. "Maybe I can visit you from time to time."

"But then again, I do know this one technique that is quite relaxing, but takes awhile to get the hang of."

"What technique?" she asked.

"This one." he pushed his thumbs down near her midsection which made her jump and groan before he moved his fingers around without taking his thumbs off and pushed up against the skin with them while letting go as she let out a gasp and felt her muscles unwind at once.

'W-what was that?!' she thought in surprise at such a feeling.

"There, how was that my dear?" he asked pulling his hands away.

"Wh- that was..." she stuttered trying to figure out what she felt.

"You seem speechless my dear." he smiled. "Did I startle you?"

"Well I never had a massage before, I usually read up about it." she said. "But I never heard anything about this."

"It's a little something I made myself. I learned the best way to unwind the tensed up muscles, but it requires me to be very careful where I apply pressure."

She nodded her head. "I understand." Annabelle said, relaxing. "I'll be careful not to move."

"Well not to worry, just carefully sit up and stretch out."

The female fox sat up into a sitting position and carefully moved her body a bit. She felt several pops in her back and shuddered since it just felt like several knots came undone. Her body shivered at the feeling.

"Well? What do you think?"

"This feels really amazing!" she cried out happily. "It's like every muscle in my body just went to the spa!"

Paul smiles as he continued. "Happy to hear that."

'Man, if I got that more often I wouldn't feel so sore at every cheap motel I go to.' she smiles as she swishes her tail. 'How could I ever thank him?'

'Yes, that almost never fails.' he thought smiling. 'Now for the final push...' "Annabelle... there's something I need to tell you..."

"What is it?" she asked while twisting her body while feeling energized.

"When I said that I wanted to repay you for your wonderful talents as a musician." he looked downward a bit. "It was only half truth."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"There was another reason why I invited you here." he said gripping his hands out of view.

"Which was?"

Paul closed his eyes a bit. 'This is it... now or never.' he looks her in the eyes. "Annabelle, you are amazing in so many ways. You're the most talented, kind, honest person I have ever met in my life."

"Well, that's sweet of you, but we just met yesterday, remember?"

"Yes that is true, but even if we just met, I had this feeling that you were different from the other females I met. You're more genuine, pure.. Special." he spoke as he smiles at her.

"Oh, thanks." she smiled while rubbing her neck. 'He's being rather forward today, a bit forward than before.'

"And I know this may come out as fast, like very very fast, but....I would like you to possibly stay, with me."

Annabelle's eyes widen as she stares at the python naga. "S-stay... with you? You mean... you want me to live with you?"

"And possibly become my bride as well." he added at the end.

That got the fox to blush crimson red at the confession, taken completely off guard. "W-W-W-What?!"

"I know that I asked this out of the blue, I will of course understand if you need more time." he said closing his eyes, "I just felt a strong connection with you."

'He....wants....to get married?!' she shuddered at the words. 'With... me..'

'Please don't let her slap me.'

"P-Paul... I... I.. this is all so sudden, I'm touched you felt this way to me, but..." she paused a bit as she looked to the side.

"It's too sudden, right?"

"T-that and..." she looks at him. "Is this really okay? I'm nothing special. I'm not rich, I'm not really popular. Are you sure you want a simple girl like me as a bride?"

"It's because of that which makes you special my dear. I've had to deal with snooty women, gold diggers, women who wanted me just for my status and power, the list goes on. Never once have I actually met a girl who didn't look at me like some sort of wealthy or powerful symbol." He opened his eyes as he then said. "Until I met you. Granted that I kept it hidden, you originally declined my offer out of kindness, you still intended to travel despite seeing all this, you didn't even thought about asking if it was alright if you could stay. As well as you felt bad and understood about previous woman only intended about using me."

"Well yeah, I learned it's what inside that matters, plus it helps that my folks learned you had to work for the stuff you wanted." Annabelle stated. 'He looks very genuine, plus it must've been tough for him to go through all that heartbreak every single time.'

"I know I probably come across as a creep since it's been only a day, but believe me when I say if given the chance, I can prove I'm serious."

She looked at him with a smile as she held his arm. "You were never a creep in my eyes."

He smiled hearing that while hissing. "So, you're going to accept?"

"Well, let's just say I'll stick around a bit more to see how I feel. I want us to actually grow so this doesn't feel forced, alright?"

With that answer, he smiles at her. "That's understandable. I'm sure you'll come to share your feelings with me."

"Well I'd say we should go out for a walk, it looks sunny out." Annabelle got up. "Or maybe we could go to the park and just watch the lake."

"Well there is a nice view at the lake my dear, would you care to try something else on? I have a small collection of extra clothes from the past relationships."

"I appreciate it, but I'm happy with what I'm wearing thank you." she declined.

"Then my dear, shall we?" he got up from the bed and held a hand out to her.

Annabelle smiles as she takes it with her own. She got up before they walked out of the bed and made their way down the hall before leaving the mansion and headed down the street.

The birds were singing and there was a nice breeze in the air as they passed by some people. All the while Paul pondered on holding her hand or not.

'Would it be too forward if I do so?' he thought as he pondered for a moment. 'Well when in rome, do what romans do.' He went and carefully held Annabelle's hand.

She blinked and looked down at the hands while turning to him who seemed to be blushing. "You alright?"

"Um... Just hoping it was okay if I could hold your hand." he said nervously.

"Oh, sure thing."

He smiled as they continued walking down the road to the park. "There's quite assortment of trees here you know?"

"Really? I hadn't really noticed."

"Yeah, that was a birch tree we passed moments ago, up ahead is a maple tree." Paul said pointing to one. "When fall comes the leaves turn just the right shade during the sunsets, and if you go on the eiffel tower it's like seeing a large red and orange spot that sticks out all over."

"Wow, still got some time to wait until fall to witness that."

'Hopefully by that time you have a ring on your finger.' he thought as they arrived at the park and looked at a fountain spewing water. "Would you like to sit down next to the fountain?"

She nods as she sat down next to the python. She felt the water lightly touch her and put her hand in with a sigh. "Nice and cool."

"This fountain was created in 1856. It was inspired by a sculptor who wanted to show the inner beauty about the park." he remarked while dipping part of his tail in and sighed before getting an idea and flipped it a little, splashing some water out which lightly reached her cheek.

She yelped a bit at the action and glared at him. "You jerk!" she said as she splashed some back with a grin.

He jumped and hissed while flicking some back at her before she giggled and used her tail this time. "I can't help it, even your laugh is beautiful."

She splashed some on his chest to get his shirt soaked. "Well that's not gonna stop me from getting back at you, that was cold, literally."

He chuckled, "I suppose I deserved it."

She smiled while glancing at his shirt and noticed how it clung to him while slowly stopping her tail. 'He seems pretty slim under there.' "Do you work out?"

"Well I do occasionally try to keep in shape when I have some free time."

"That's nice to hear." she said. She looked around and saw how peaceful it was while scooting near Paul while holding his hand. "This is a pretty soothing spot, I wouldn't mind coming back here."

"I certainly wouldn't mind you spending the night each day." he said. 'Preferably you living with me.' he thought as he asked, "Wanna catch a movie?"

"Sure, any kind you had in mind?"

"It's a romance drama about two people going on a business trip."

"Well since we got plenty of time, sure."

They got up and headed to the theatre. When they got there they went ahead and grabbed some popcorn with sodas while Paul payed for their tickets.

They headed into the theatre area and got into their seats. Although Paul didn't have much space for his tail so he had to curl it up on the seat.

"You know if you want you could stretch out over my lap." offered Annabelle.

"No I shouldn't. It wouldn't be polite to do so." he said.

"Well I'm giving you permission cause that looks pretty uncomfortable."

"Well if you insist." he moved his tail over the fox's lap. He felt her pat it and smiled while relaxing against the seat as the movie started.

The scene opened with a plane landing on the runway. It slowly moved to a stop at the end before a staircase moved over to it while the door opened and people began to step off it.

The view focused on a tiger dressed in a grey suit. He adjusted his tie before going down and headed into the airport.

Another being, a chestnut furred mare stepped out wearing a white female business suit wearing shades. She looked out and sighed before heading on down and headed to the airport just as the tiger went to go get his luggage. She looked at her phone as she picked up her luggage. "I'm suppose to be meeting my client at a italian restaurant 4 miles from here. I could take a cab there."

Paul and Annabelle shared some popcorn while seeing the tiger head out and hail a taxi just as the mare headed out with her own bags.

The tiger noticed the mare as she stepped out. "Want me to give you a lift?"

"Unless you can get me to the place I need to meet my client, I'll pass."

"Where your heading?" he asked.

"Some italian restaurant just 4 miles from here."

"What a coincidence, that's where I'm heading." he said.

"Alright, I'll take the ride there." she sighed.

He nodded and he took her bags and put them in the trunk, then the two entered the cab. He told the cab driver where to go before they went on their way.

"I think I have an idea what's gonna happen." whispered Annabelle.

"Care to enlighten me?" he asked, having an idea of his own.

"Ah ah, no spoilers." she smiled as the two rode the cab in silence.

"My name's Eric." the tiger introduced himself. "What's your name?"

"Maria."

"Nice to meet you." he said. "I assume you're here for business?"

"Yeah, I have to meet up with a client of mine to try and get him to sign a contract for my company." she answered as she looked at him. "How about you?"

"I'm meeting someone regarding this deal I have to take a look at." Eric answered.

"Wow." she said. "That's quite a coincidence."

"You said it."

Eventually the cab stopped with the two getting out after paying the driver.

Eric got Maria's stuff out and handed it to her before getting his stuff. "I wish you best of luck."

"You too." she said as the two enter the restaurant. "Hopefully I can find him, I was given only some vague stuff about what he looks like."

"I can help. What you got?" Eric offered taking out a notepad.

"Well I was told the guy was in a suit, seemed mature and covered in fur, and had a tail."

"Any description of the fur? Striped, spotted, plain?"

"Striped."

"So it's a tiger. Just like me." He said. "Well, I'll keep an eye out. I got to meet my client at a designated spot."

"What do they look like?"

"Well she'll be female, in a business suit, and she's wearing shades."

"Well what about her fur? Black, white, orange?"

"Well she's got a chestnut colored fur, but not a lot of it as she's a mare." Eric said.

The mare went wide eyed as they turned to each other with realization. "Wait a minute! You're suppose to meet with me?"

"I'm suppose to meet with you?" He asked back.

"Called it." whispered Annabelle.

"I was wondering if they were blind or not." Paul said chuckling. "A child would've got it faster."

So the two watched as the movie showcased the tiger and mare working together on the contract while the usual shenanigans in a romance comedy played out.

Eventually, night fell and the two business associates went to a hotel. There the two had to share a bed since there was just one which made them both look away uncomfortably.

"I could take a couch if you want." Eric suggested.

"No, if you did that it'll be bad for your back, we'll just...have to share."

"Alright." he said as he kept his back to her out of respect.

"Wow, didn't expect nudity in this film."

"Well they're at least wearing undergarments." he said. 'Although that makes me wonder what kind Annabelle is wearing.'

Eric closes his eyes as he tried to sleep, despite the awkward situation he's in. He was face to face with the mare and could feel her breath against his mouth. The tiger blushed at the warm air as he moves back a bit.

"How much you wanna bet they kiss?"

"Still asleep or they kiss after waking up?" Paul asked specifics.

"Still asleep."

"5 say they're awake." Paul said.

"You're on."

The tiger's eyes twitches a bit as their faces were very close to each other. He gulped and tried closing his eyes and focus just on going to sleep. 'Go to sleep, go to sleep!' he thought in his mind.

That's when the mare groaned in her sleep and scooted closer while not noticing her mouth pressing against his, but he sure did. Eric jolted a bit feeling Maria's soft lips.

"Ha! Told ya." whispered Annabelle in victory.

"H-hey hold on. I was under the impression that he would kiss her, not accidental." he explained.

"Now now, they still kissed, no take backs."

Paul sighs, but hands her the 5 dollars. "A deal's a deal."

She smirked while they saw the movie keep on going to show the two drop hints they liked each other. Blushing whenever they stare at each other for some time, eating lunch together, even going to the beach to have fun.

They were heading back to the hotel when Eric looked at her. "Maria?"

"Yeah Eric?"

"I know we just met, and pretty confident I'm asking so soon, but..." he stopped in front of her. "Would you consider the two of us.... having a future together?"

She went wide eyed while the audience gasped and she blushed. "W-What?"

"Maria..." he held her hand. "I would be happy if we can start officially dating."

That made her mouth drop while Paul felt the scene touch him and held Annabelle's hand without thinking.

Said fox blushes at the holding, but doesn't say anything as it left a nice, warm feeling inside her.

"I...I....I'm....blown away." she said blushing at the words and the feeling of his paws.

"So what do you think? Wanna see where this could take us?"

Maria thought about it for a moment. "Well, we were brought together because of our jobs... Let's see where it'll take us."

He smiled before pulling her close and surprised the mare by suddenly picking her up in his arms.

"Ah! H-hey!" she got out. "Put me down."

"Relax, I won't drop ya."

"You didn't warn me." she huffed while he carried her off and Paul briefly imagined himself doing the same with Annabelle.

'She'd look cute and embarrassed like Maria.'

"Aw, that's adorable." smiled Annabelle while her free hand rubbed the tail on her lap by accident which made Paul let out a hiss and jolt slightly. "Oh, my bad. Did I surprise you?"

"Sorry, you just rubbed a sensitive spot of mine." he said taking a breath.

"I'll be careful next time." she said as she resumed rubbing.

He jumped and tried to stay relaxed, but the spot tingled each time she rubbed it, and her soft hand didn't make it easy. 'Ooohh... her paws feel so soft...'

'I hope this isn't too weird for him.' she thought as she continued rubbing, 'His scales feel smooth and they're so shiny.'

Paul blushed while the tip of his tail rubbed against the side of her leg while they saw the movie keep going with Eric and Maria having a good time, even with them having to move and hold a long distance relationship. 'I'm getting distracted that it's hard watching the movie.'

Annabelle sipped her drink while seeing Eric and Maria live chatting with their computers.

"I hope you're doing well. Work's a bit rough, but I'm managing." Eric said.

"Same here, although some of the guys keep hitting on me so it's a little annoying."

"That's the curse of long distance relationships. Just hang in there." he said encouragingly.

"Believe me, easier said than done."

"Hmm, I could ask my boss for a week paid vacation." he offered. "Come on by and we could spend the time having fun, my treat."

"You're sweet. I'll take your offer." she said.

'

"Great, but be warned, I won't say when I'm there." he smiled before the call ended.

Maria giggled as she got up. "Well I'll be sure to be ready when you do come." As she said that, the screen fade to black and credits rolled.

Everyone clapped or stood up to leave while Annabelle sipped her soda and tried to get up, but Paul's tail and hand made it difficult. "Um... Paul? You gonna get up?"

"Oh! Sorry about that." he let go of her hand and moved his tail off while getting up as they headed out.

"That was a great movie. It was very genuine and heartwarming." Annabelle said. "Although, did it kinda feel like...you know."

"Cheesy? Cliche?" he asked.

"I was gonna say kinda like our predicament."

Paul sweatdropped at the answer. "Ohhh..." he looks away in embarrassment.

"Oh relax, I'm messing with you." she smiled patting his back.

"Sorry, I get flustered a bit easily." he admitted.

"I can tell." she giggled before hearing her stomach grumble and blushed.

"It is getting late. How about we head to my place for dinner?" he offered.

"That's sound good, popcorn doesn't really hit the spot much."

"True." he chuckled as he held her hand and they walked back to his home. "Anything in particular you want my dear? I think Sebastian can easily make it."

"No, he can fix anything you like." she said.

"I insist, whatever you want simply ask."

Annabelle then thought about what she would like. "Can he make some fried rice with steamed vegetables and steak?"

"Of course, he could even make the best sauce to go with the steak and make it so soft it's like eating a marshmallow."

"I'm getting excited." she said.

'Perhaps I can use this as well.' he thought as they headed off.

(At the mansion)

They were at the table as Sebastian arrived with a plate of food. "It is ready. I hope you and the madam will enjoy this to full satisfaction."

"I believe we will." Paul said as they grab their forks and knives. "Dig in my dear and see if you like it."

As she does, she murrs at the taste. "W-wow, this taste amazing!"

"See? I told you Sebastian could make it with no problem."

She giggled. "Why doesn't he join us? He earned it." she stated.

"It's quite alright madam, I'm fine just knowing I could make a wonderful dish for you and the master."

"Well thank you." she said as she looked at the python. 'He's been so great to me, as well as to his servants'.

'She's looking over here, that means she's enjoying all this, right?' He thought as he asked. "Want some wine?"

"Sure, I could go for some."

He poured her some as he did his own. He held his glass up and clicked it to hers. "To an enjoyable first day, and hopefully many others."

She smiled as she agreed and they took a sip. It was more grape and a little bitter, but had a sweet aftertaste. "Hmmm..." she murred as she enjoyed it. "This is some really good wine."

"That makes me happy to hear." he said as they resumed eating and making small talk.

They finished eating as Annabelle let out a satisfied sigh. "That was delicious."

"Care for some desert?"

"I would love cheesecake with strawberry syrup." she said.

"Make it so Sebastian."

The Komodo Dragon smiled as he walked off to the kitchen.

"You really know how to spoil a girl in one day."

"Is it a crime to be a gentlemen?" he asked in return.

"Hey, I'm not complaining." she responded as she waits for dessert.

"So far what did you think of the date?"

"If I try to explain it.." Annabelle smiled as she crossed her arms, "It would take a while."

"Oh? Am I that bad?" he feigned disappointment.

She pouted a bit, "You're enjoying my embarrassment aren't you?"

"Aw, now that would be a secret." he hissed teasingly.

She blushes harder, "Well I was very happy with what you done.... Thank you so much."

"Then that's all I need to hear my dear." he winked.

She smirked as they made small talk before Sebastian arrived with the requested dessert.

"Your desert madam and sir."

"Thank you kindly Sebastian." Annabelle said looking at it and marvelling at the design and craftsmanship. "Impressive."

"It doesn't just look good, it's guaranteed to make your taste buds explode." Sebastian stated.

"And if he said that, you can guarantee it'll be different from the other cheesecakes you had... If you had it before I mean." remarked Paul before taking some and bit into it with a hum of satisfaction. "This is by far the best one to day Sebastian."

Annabelle took a bite out of it and her eyes widen, "Wow!... It's soo good!" she beamed in happiness.

"Thank you sir, and madam." He said. "Now I'll let you enjoy the rest of the evening." he turned and walked away while the two went ahead and enjoyed more of the cakes.

"This has just been the best day I have ever had hanging out with someone." Annabelle said as she eats. "What's next? A foot massage?"

"You in need of one?" Paul asked looking at her.

"What? No no, I was kidding."

"Because if so I could call up one of my maids, she's an expert when it comes to massages."

"I'll keep that in mind." she said. "Though I could use a bath after a long day."

"I'll let Sebastian know." he rang a bell. "Sebastian, Annabelle here would like a nice bath to relax."

"I'll have it ready as soon as she finishes desert." He called from another room.

"Thanks."

They finished their desert as Annabelle got up. "What are you going to be doing in the meantime?"

"I'll be off doing some reading, unless you care to have me wash your back." he teased.

She blushes at the suggestion. "Um... I don't know. If you don't mind helping."

"My dear, it would make my day." he tipped off his hat.

She smiled as she headed to the bathroom. 'I wonder if he'll try and get a little frisky seeing me in the nude.' she thought, 'The idea of that doesn't exactly sound bad though.'

'Ok Paul, play it cool, and see if she'll want a feel for your 'all body' massage.' he thought closing his eyes and taking a few breaths.

Annabelle started taking her clothes off when she saw the tub was filled with bubbles and put them to the side before slowly submerging herself in it. The fox let out a soft sigh at the warmth of the water and the scent of the soap. "Now this is just perfect for me."

"He knows how to set baths, not just cooking." Paul said sitting at the edge of the bath. "Care for me to rub your shoulders?"

She smiles as she said. "Sure, go right ahead."

He slithered over around her and reached down before grabbing her shoulder blades and started to rub them with his thumbs.

She shudder a bit as she takes a sponge and started rubbing her body. She tried to get all over herself while not noticing Paul staring at her chest.

He estimated them to be c cups, looking soft and plush in his eyes. 'Oh how would I love to grab and caress them all day.' As much as he wants to, he restrains himself as he continue to massage her shoulders and move to her back. 'There's always next time.'

"Mmm, that feels nice." sighed Annabelle before she moved back in the water to wash the soap off.

Paul helped out by getting some water in his claws and dousing it over her. He rubbed soap in her hair while being gentle and careful not to cut her.

Annabelle hums at the rubbing as she relaxes and closed her eyes. "That feels good."

He smiles as he started at her face, her yellow fur complimenting her looks. "Don't open your eyes or you'll get soap on them."

"Okay, I won't." she said keeping them closed. She felt the soap get spread around while the tip of his tail started to sneak it's way into the tub. She sighed as her ear twitches occasionally from the tingling heat from the water.

'Alright, just don't scare her and be quiet.' Paul thought as he moved his claws to her sides to rub them.

She hummed and smiled while the tail got further and further into the bath. "How is it going Paul?" Annabelle asked.

"Almost there, just keep your eyes closed." He said.

She nods her head as she kept her eyes closed. 'He's probably trying something, but I'll humor him.'

'Just...about...there!' His tail reached her legs as he kept washing her body.

'His tail? Now I'm really curious.' She smiled a bit wondering what he's planning as she kept the ruse of not knowing. She felt the tail slowly moving up before he pulled his claws away.

"Ok, you can dunk now."

Annabelle took a breath before bringing her head underwater. She briefly looked down and went back up with a gasp while seeing Paul grin.

"Care for a 'full body' massage my dear?"

"Hmm..." Annabelle thought. "I don't want to be a burden and overstep my boundaries..." she winked at him.

"I'll take that as a yes." he smirked before pulling his tail in around her in a tight grip.

She groaned from the tail wrapping her waist and sides. "E-Easy there."

"Sorry about that." he said easing the muscles to lessen the grip, but still holding her tight. "Didn't mean to grip too tight my dear."

"It's okay. I didn't know how strong you really are." she said blushing at the smooth scales rubbing her. "Is this what you mean by 'full body'?"

"If I said half body, I would've wrapped your legs or chest in that case." he chuckled.

"Or maybe you want an excuse to trap me." she teased while gasping as the tail moved up and down her legs with small squeezes.

"No, not at all..." Paul said squeezing her body carefully. "You agreed to the massage of course." he leaned down near her ear. "Meaning you just relax and I'll take over."

She blushes at the tone as she nods and did as the python said. "What does the massage consist?"

"Well, first I'm gonna loosen up your leg and stomach muscles, and do this." he reached down and started grabbing at her back near her chest making her gasp.

"Whaa?" she got out as the firm, but careful grip he has. She felt the tail caress and grip her while being gentle as she shivered from his hands being so close to her chest.

"Hmm... Your skin's so smooth." he said rubbing and pressing her back carefully.

"A-And your scales are smooth." she spoke before feeling his hands near the underside of her breasts and let out a yip when he gave them a slight squeeze. Her face brightened slightly at the feeling.

"My my, seems this spot needs attention." remarked Paul with a grin while lightly squeezing them together as she gasped while the tip of his tail slid up to rub around her inner thigh slowly.

"Ahh... J-just be gentle with them." Annabelle said embarrassed as he rubbed and squeezed her chest. 'I never had anyone rub my chest like this. It's new, but it feels nice.'

'Decent size, pretty firm, and thank god they're not made out of silicon.' Paul smiled. 'She must not care about trying to be... what's the word... bigger?'

'Oh man, if he can loosen up my muscles with just his hands, I don't even wanna think about what he can do with them right there.' Annabelle smiled as she shivered as his tail kept moving upward.

Paul hissed before his hands moved up and started rubbing around her nipples making her moan and jump. "Now now, if you splash around you'll get the floor all wet."

The fox blushes as she willed herself still. 'Easy for you to say, you're not the one being rubbed at your sensitive spots.' Annabelle thought.

That's when the snake got a glint as the tail slid up her leg making her squirm before it poked at her groin causing her jump with an 'EEP!'

"Hey!"

"What? I'm just helping."

"Helping? You just poked my womanhood!" Annabelle accused.

"I believe the term is vagina, or pussy if you want to be a naughty little fox."

She blushes, "Not even trying to deny it are you?"

"Why ma cherie, at this point are you wanting me to stop?"

Annabelle blushed at the serpent, then smiled. "As a matter of fact, I don't."

"Then do try to keep it together, I have magic hands." he whispered before he started to slightly tweak her nipples.

"Aaahh~..." Annabelle blushed as she crosses her arms in an effort to keep still.

"Ah ah ah, relax." he spoke while the tail tip poked her slit again.

She quivers from the feeling, struggling to not move. The more her squeezed and poked her lower half, he squeezed her breasts harder and it was all making her body feel warmer. "Ah... Ah... Aahh..." she panted from the feeling.

'Mmm, her moans are music to my ears.' he move his face near his neck and rubs it a bit.

She shuddered from the extra scales and moaned when she felt him breath against the spot while the tail started to outright rub against her spot with the coils keeping her legs restrained. "Oh god..." she groaned, 'If it wasn't for the water, I'd be wet by now.'

"How's it feeling my naughty little vixen?"

"Ngh..." she shudder from the feeling as her folds were aching with growing need.

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" He asked teasingly licking her ear.

"Ngha!" she jumped with her squirming. "It...it's..."

"Yes?" he said waiting.

"Feels...good!" she murred happily, her tail swishing in the water.

"Oh? Care to go to the second part of my massage?" She smiles as she nodded her head. "You sure? It might be too much for you." he teased.

"If it's, you'll carry me to my bed will you?" she asked cutely.

"Oh believe me, I planned on it." he grinned before moving his head down near her chest and squeezed her breasts before flicking his tongue against her nipple.

Annabelle moaned in pleasure as she lets him lick them. The tail trailed up and wiggled between her ass cheeks while also rubbing across her pussy at the same time like it was one of Paul's own hands.

The fox tremble and shiver as her blush reddens as she leaned on his front, relaxing and humming to the wonderful feeling. When she saw his jaw open and clamp on one of the nipples before sucking, it made her cry out while her body felt like it was on fire. "AAAh~! Yes~!"

'I could listen to this all day, I just hope she doesn't feel my little friends just yet.' Paul thought licking the nipple eagerly.

Annabelle kept moaning and squirming before feeling something warm rubbing against her leg. "Hmm?" she looked down and into the water.

"Oops, guess the cat's out of the bag, or snake in this matter." he chuckled.

Annabelle blushes as she can see a pair of large phallus underwater and near her leg. "Wow...they're big."

"Care to give them a feel?"

She blushes as he loosen his grip enough to slip her arms out. She reached down and ran her fingers against one while feeling it pulsate through the water. 'It feels hot even under water..'

"I wonder how you'd look stuffed with both." he teased letting go of her nipple.

"B-both?" she asked a bit nervously and blushing.

"Yes, I've managed to do it before and drove any woman wild."

Annabelle blushes as she wondered what it would feel like, taking both member inside herself. It sounded both painful, but at the same time peaked her curiosity. "It would be quite a sensation."

"The only question is, here or in bed ma cherie?"

"Uhhh..." Annabelle blushes as she shrugged, "Whatever you prefer." she said bashful.

"Hmmm, here." he spoke before slipping into the bath and resumed groping her breasts harder making her moan louder. "But remember this, I'm not going to let you leave without wanting more."

"That a challenge?" Annabelle asked winking.

"Oh my dear, I don't make challenges, I make promises." Paul said to her confidently.

"Well in that case, let's see if you got what it takes to tame me." Annabelle said smiling as she relaxes in the bath. 'Oh god, if he gets those in me he'll split me in two!'

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Paul went and caress her cheek tenderly. "Not to worry my dear, I'll be as gentle as a mouse."

She relaxes a bit as she stared at his yellow eyes. "So beautiful."

"Why yes, yes you are." he said leaning closer to her face. He cupped her cheeks before pressing their lips together with a hiss.

Annabelle muffled in surprise as she realizes the python naga is kissing her deeply. She tried kissing back while feeling his dicks rub against her ass as the tail wiggled across her stomach. 'Th-this is... my first kiss..' she thought her eyes glistening.

'So soft and sweet, just like her.' he thought as he held her in his arms, feeling her warm soft fur. "Why don't I have a little taste?"

"Taste?" she asked confused.

"Of course, I want to taste directly from your honeypot." Paul said grinning.

She blushed before getting picked up and set on the edge before he used his tail to spread her legs and exposing her slit. "Uh.. O-okay.." Annabelle said blushing at her pink folds exposed to him.

He leaned in and flicked his tongue out. "Mmm, sweet like cinnamon."

She blushed brighter hearing that before the tongue flicked out against it making her jump. "Ah!"

"Just relax my dear, and enjoy the blissful pleasure." he said as he licks it more.

"E-E-Easy for you ah~! T-To say!"

Paul murrs as he licked slowly and sensually. He wanted to savor the taste and enjoy Annabelle's moans as much as he could.

The fox held on to the snake's head in a desperate attempt not to fall. 'God, if this is how it feels with just the tongue, I might spasm when he gets to the main event.'

"How does this feel ma cherie?"

"Ooohh, I never felt something like this before." she said swoonfully.

"Oh, sounds like my naughty little vixen wants more."

She moaned as her tail rubbed his chest. "Oh god yes! Lick more!"

He smiled as he started to lick faster at the words. She moaned louder while he felt his dicks aching to be inside her. 'Soon... Very soon.'

"Come on, lick in there!"

He smiled at the tone she's speaking. "Oh, you want more?"

"Good god yes!"

He smiled as he slipped his tongue through her folds. She squirmed while he started wiggling it around and took the chance to give her ass a squeeze. She murred more as she felt her body getting hot and sweaty. 'I pray she becomes my bride, I could get use to her taste every morning.'

'At this point, if he asks that question again, I'll say yes in a heartbeat!' Annabelle murrs grinding on his face. "Come on, lick faster!"

Paul licked deeper and more feverishly, licking all around inside. She squirmed while he pinched her ass which made more juices trickle out. 'I wonder how close she is.'

"Oh god, I don't think I can endure much longer!" she cried out her eyes rolling to the back of her head. "I'm gonna cum!"

"Go right ahead dear." he whispered before using his lips to lightly nibble on her clit making her scream out to the sky.

"AAAHH!" she hits her climax and splashed her juices onto his face. "FUUUUUCCCKKKKK!"

He closed his eyes as he slid out and licked his face. "So how was it my dear?"

"Amazing! Just amazing!" Annabelle said. "I mean....just wow!"

He smiled as he caressed her form and hugged her. "Happy to hear."

"Oh god, I've never come like that hard before." she blushes happily. "Will we be going to the main event?"

"Of course, did you think I would stop before the main course?" He smiled. "But you know, I rather have my first time with someone who's my mate."

"Oh god yes, after that you bet your dicks I'll be your mate." she grinned with her tail swishing.

Paul smiled as he picked Annabelle up in his arms and exited the bathroom. "Then I'll make sure to make this a night you won't ever forget."

Annabelle blushed with a smile as he carried her to the bedroom, her tail hanging low. When he got inside he set her on the bed while she saw his dicks standing full and tall. Annabelle blushes as she's well aware about snakes having two penis instead of one.

"So, care to be on bottom, or top?"

"Y-you're asking me?" Annabelle asked him. "I don't know where to start."

"Well, I could put it a different way. Do you want me to ravage you like an animal, or let you take charge?"

Annabelle blushes, "How about you lead, but be gentle?"

"Gladly." he moved over her and held her legs open while rubbing his dock against her slit.

"Hahh..." she moaned as her face turned red. "A-Are you gonna try and put the second one in me too?"

"I planed on one for your pussy, the other for your soft butt." Paul said seductively. "Of course, it's going to sting quite a bit."

"Especially considering I'm a virgin." Annabelle said.

"Then brace yourself my dear." He then climbed over her, facing her as his cocks position her holes. He slowly pushed against them with a hiss while she gritted her teeth as the one against her pussy slowly moved in, but he had to put more force against her ass as she let out a loud cry with wide eyes.

"AAAHH God!"she screamed as she gripped the sheets hard. She felt them slowly stretching her holes open with the one in her ass more painful than she expected. "Gaaahahhh!"

He stopped and saw her tearing up before holding her cheeks. "Are you alright my dear?"

"I-it hurts!" she stuttered shaking a bit. "It's like I'm being stretched wide open!"

"I'm sorry, it would've hurt either way." he nuzzled her cheek. "Just tell me when you're okay, I'll wait until then."

She nodded while trying to ignore the pain and endure it. She took deep breaths as Paul held her sides tenderly.

"Relax, I won't move until you give the word."

She smiled at the words, rubbing his body. After about 3 minutes, she looked at her. "You can keep going my dear."

He nodded and kept on pushing while noting the blood and made sure not to go in too fast.

She grunted a bit from the lingering pain, but held fast as she shuddered from his movements. Each time the dicks moved in and out of her, it felt like her insides were struggling to hold them.

She started to softly murr from the feeling slowly turning to pleasure.

"Ah! My dear, your ass and pussy feel divine at the same time!" He hissed in pleasure.

"Aahh... I feel hot. My body... feels so good..." she panted as she started to relax. "Your dicks....are so...big!"

Paul smiled and licked her cheek as he thrusted back and forth. "And they'll be all yours till death do we part."

"P-Paul..." she said feeling touched by his words. "My heart's thumping at my chest."

"So is mine." he pressed himself against her chest while grunting. "Can you feel it?"

"F-feel what?" she asked confused. Then she felt a thumping at his chest. "Oohh..."

"It's going faster than ever!" he groaned while giving her breasts a squeeze.

Annabelle moaned happily as she rubbed her tail on his back. "This has been a wonderful day. You done so much for me!"

"It's about to get better!" he groaned while pushing his cocks deeper and getting a louder moan out of her.

"How could you make this any better?!" she groaned tenderly.

"Perhaps a child or two." he smirked while giving her nipples a small pinch.

Annabelle gasped as she looked at him. "A child?"

"Or two." He repeated going a bit faster.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" she moaned with each thrust. "God, I think I'm going to cum!"

"Me too!"

Annabelle moaned happily as she hugged the python lovingly. "Do it inside me!"

"Will do..." he looked in each others eyes. "I love you Annabelle."

"Ah! I love you too Paul!" she moaned before feeling the dicks twitch and screamed when she felt the hot sperm start gushing inside her. She cried out loud as she cums right after him.

Paul hissed feeling her tighten up with her juices gushing over his dicks. After their climaxes, the two panted as they enjoy the afterglow. "You...were....wonderful."

"So... were you... Paul." she nuzzled his head. She shuddered feeling her insides get filled with sperm and held onto him so it wouldn't ooze out. "So much... so warm."

"Care to go again my dear?"

"You can go for another round?" she asked smiling.

"But of course, I'm not much of a fan of masturbation, so you could say I'm quite pent up."

"Well I'm not gonna leave you with blue balls." she kisses him. "So go on as long as you can."

"Be careful," he grinned with a glint. "It might become a bumpy ride."

"Already lost my virginity, plus I might been impregnated by you." she grinned at him. "I can take what you got."

He grinned and leaned down as the camera panned away with louder moans being heard.

(Timeskip)

Annabelle was looking in the mirror while looking over her white dress. "Hmm, I think white's perfect for today." She said finishing the touches on her head, then she headed out of the room. All the while trying to be careful as she rubbed her large belly. "One night of passionate lovemaking and I already have twins growing."

"And what lovely twins they'll be." spoke Paul waiting outside the room.

She smiled as she sat down next to her husband. "I wonder what they'll be? You're a reptile and I'm a mammal. Would they be a python? Fox? Live birth? Egg?" Annabelle asked.

"I'm hoping for eggs, seeing you cradle two eggs would look adorable, plus it would help widen you up more." he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Of course you want that you perv." she teased him.

"What? Can I help it if I have such a beautiful wife?"

"Hmhmhm.. Guess not." she said leaning on him.

(Timeskip)

Annabelle was gritting her teeth in pain as her body convulses. She held onto the bed while sweating and groaning in pain. "G-goddamn!" she cried out as she broke out in cold sweats.

"Just relax, you're doing fine." spoke one of the nurses.

"Mmhhmm.." Annabelle whimpered as she knew this would happen, but never expected how intense it can be. "It hurts!"

"Endure it my dear." Paul said holding her paw, "You can do it."

"Oh god! You did this to me!" she screamed followed by another cry of pain.

"There are tough times even in marriage." he said wiping away her sweat.

"I can see something, Just a little more." one of the nurses said.

"I'm trying!" she growled pushing as much as she can. "Oh god! It's gonna tear me apart!"

"I see the egg appearing. Take deep breaths and keep pushing."

"Ahhhh!" screamed Annabelle gripping Paul's hand even harder.

"Almost there dear, one more push."

"I'll get you for th-AHHHHHH!" Annabelle cried out as she felt intense pressure fade a bit.

"One's out! Just keep pushing!" spoke the nurse as she gently carried a large egg to the side while another nurse moved over.

Annabelle groaned as she cried out in pain as she pushed on the second egg. "Oh god make it stop!"

"You can do it! I'm right here." Paul rested his head on her side.

She gritted her teeth and screamed one more time before feeling the egg pop out before she took a deep breath and felt her body grow laxed.

"You did it Annabelle." one of the nurses said rubbing her head with a wet cloth.

"Good job dear." spoke Paul while Annabelle tried to catch her breath.

"Thanks for being there." she said tiredly. "Oh man...I'm sleepy."

"It's okay. Rest for a bit. I'll be right there with you." Paul said.

"You...better." she spoke before her eyes closed. "Let's be together... even in the afterlife..."

He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Consider it a promise, my wife."

She smiled as she fell asleep, happy about her life and husband.
