(Y/n)'s POV

A piercing scream escaped my lips as I jolted upright on my bed. I was panting heavily and drenched in sweat. I tried to calm down by wrapping my arms around myself, but I was shaking too much. Suddenly a hand touched my back making me violently flinch away, almost making me fall from the bed.

-"(Y/n)!" his deep comforting voice said helping me to calm enough to let him come closer.

-"I'm sorry I keep waking you like t-this." I apologized as my voice was shaking slightly.

Gaara shifted closer to me as he sat up. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. Although he hadn't been that comfortable with initiating physical contact with me when we first started dating, he became a lot more at ease with it once we became husband and wife. So right now he was holding me close to him nuzzling his face in my hair.

-"Don't apologize."

-"But this keeps happening, and I can tell that you're exhaust-"

-"Just shut up." he said and buried his face deeply into my hair, breathing me in as he did so.
-"Nightmares happen."

His strong arms held me tight in a warm embrace. He began to lay down again, pulling me down with him so I was facing his side. The somewhat noticible curve of my abdomen fitting well against him. Crossing one of my legs over his I traced small doodles onto his pale strong chest. I knew he was exhausted, even more so than I was. He was the Kazekage after all. All day he had to attend meetings, deal with a ridiculous amount of paper work, and was stuck in that stuffy office of his. Then on top of it he had to come home to a pregnant wife who wakes him up in the middle of the night with her screams.

-"Gaara?" I said wining a tired hum from him.
-"Are you scared? You know, about the baby?"

With a weak groan Gaara flipped onto his side so his chest was facing me. Snaking both arms around my body he sighed, looking for the right thing to say. I wasn't shaking anymore, my body and soul had calmed down, but I felt so fragile to him.

-"No." he said in a somewhat dull tone.
-"Because he or she will have a mother like you."

-"And an amazing father like you." I added with a soft loving voice.

I smiled up into his pale sea foam colored eyes. The look he gave me was one of absolute sincerity and adoration. Pressing my lips gently into the hallow of his throat, I cuddled into his warmth even more.

-"I love you so much." I said as I closed my eyes.

-"I love you too."

-"Will you love me even when this baby makes me a crabby fire breathing dragon lady?"

-"Yes." he said with a tired voice.

-"Will you love still love me when we grow old and I'm not as attractive as I am now?"

-"Yes. Now go to sleep (Y/n)."

I knew that he was tired, just like I was. But I never stopped craving him, even in my exhausted state. Kissing his chest softly and looking up towards his face I asked one last question. One that had led to the life growing inside my tummy.

-"Will you still love me in the morning?"

One of his eyes opened at my question, and upon seeing that I was already looking at him, the corner of his lip curved upwards slightly. His arms tightened around me and I felt his hips shift against mine. Gaara captured my lips in a kiss that made me feel like water in his grasp. I loved it when he could do that to me. The eager hunger of his lips contrasted with his slow pace, as his hands rubbed my back and his legs tangled with mine.

 - "Every morning of my life I'll wake up loving you." he replied softly.

His lips moved away from mine as he planted a gentle kiss onto my forehead before saying one more thing.

-"And our child."

The end.
