Niklaus Petrovin's Bedchamber

Niklaus smiled "Come to keep me warmer, then.." He wrapped sheets around them and kept on kissing her head slowly, again and again "I'm glad she'll come. Margaret looks a good girl. And she deserves to be happy like we are.."

Niklaus laughed "Ohh..and you always forget that I'm russian. I still don't know english saying very well.." He rubbed softly her arm with his strong hand "Yes..tomorrow you'll be finally my wife. Can't believe I stole you from Cromwell's son.." He chuckled

Niklaus opened his mouth to allow her tongue to tease him. He couldn't resist further and kissed her with passion "Yes..you're mine, Elizabeth. And tomorrow, in the forest and in front of God and men, everyone will see that we belong each other.." He whispered against her lips, holding her cheeks with his hands

Niklaus kissed deeply her soft lips "I love you too, Elizabeth.." Wrapping both arms around her, he closed his eyes and after a while he fell deeply asleep

Elizabeth came to her husband chambers knocked on the door. It had been so long since Elizabeth last saw him that all the butterflies in her stomach reappeared. Like they did when they were courting.

Niklaus was sitting on his bed. He was reading a book when he heard knocking at the door. He thought it was a nice idea painting a bit in the afternoon "Come in.." He replied without leaving his eyes from his book

She pushed open the door. Letting the door handle slam against the inside of the wall. "What book could be more interesting than that of your own wife;" She finally spoke after locating her husband reading to himself.

Niklaus closed the book as he saw Elizabeth and stood up "More interesting than you? It can't be.." He smiled and opened his arms to receive her "I missed you terribly, my love. And what about Esther? Is she painting elsewhere?" He asked while pulling her between his arms

Without any hesitation I gladly ran into my husband's inviting embrace. For the first time it finally felt like I had a permanent home, which was him just him. "My beloved I have thought of nothing else but being back in the warm sanctuary of your arms once again." With a dreamy sigh of contentment I rested my head on his chest and closed my eye's absorbing the feeling of his arms around me. "I wouldn't know. She is more your daughter than she is mine."

Niklaus hold tightly Elizabeth in his arms, breathis her hairs's scent. He kissed softly her hairs before replying "Well..she is your daughter as well, my love. She has your beauty, your sweetness..and your stubborness.." He chuckled a bit and took her face in his hands to look into her eyes "This arms will always be your home, Elizabeth. And Esther is the fruit of our love. I'd give my own life for you both.." He added whispering before placing a kiss on her soft lips

I was not prepared to argue with my husband deep down I knew that the daughter we made was more him than she was me. "My stubbornness paid off and I finally got to marry you. Seriously, I thought that that day would never happen between us." I closed my eye's as our lips met in which felt like a decade of being parted. I feel everything melt away the sounds outside people walking up and down the corridors outside. I leaned in closer, wanting to run my fingers over his marble like body.

Niklaus hold her firmly in his arms, kissing her back. He smiled between her lips "It seems that the Countess of Luga is in need of love, today. Any hidden intention to create another child?" He said in a kidding tone and looking intently at her beautiful face
