With all the duties for today finished, Zarkon was left to assist Elara in caring for one month old baby Bellatrix. She's been super fussy, Elara had to deal with the tantrums on her own since she's still on her break. Zarkon struggling to keep Bellatrix from crying but she ended up wailing because Elara stepped out for a minute.

"Alright Bellatrix alright. Your mother will be back soon settle down please!" He pleaded, cradling her as she bawled her little heart out.

"Ok, ok. I'm back. Give her to me." Elara said, dashing over to him and Bellatrix.

"Look child! Your favorite person! The other one who took part in your conception who seems to have more significance than me, your meaningless father." Zarkon said, pointing to Elara.

"Damn... Who hurt you?" Elara mumbled, taking her daughter into her arms who immediately stopped crying when she saw her mother.

"Nobody alright!" He snapped.

"Zarkon, you need help. You're jealous." She said seriously.

"Elara... I am not jealous. I just wish she was like that with me." He huffed.

"So you are jealous?" She snickered.

"What? No! That is not what I meant!" He argued, making her laugh at his blunder.

"Alright you're not jealous... at least not in your own mentality." She mumbled and she sat down in bed to feed Bellatrix who got hungry.

"Whatever..." Zarkon pouted.

Elara chuckled and rolled her eyes as she helped Bellatrix latch onto one of her personal cafeterias. Zarkon didn't even turn his head to stare at his weaknesses and stared from the corner of his eyes.

"Can you not?" Elara said, knowing he was staring.

"I'm not doing anything." He lied.

"I can see your pupil facing my tits, no need to lie." She said.

Busted

"I'm going to sleep so I can sleep my issues away, goodnight." Zarkon said as he buried himself under the sheets.

"Yes it's best you do that." Elara joked.

After a minute or so, Elara burped and took Bella over to her nursery for the night and took herself to bed only to find Zarkon hogging the whole bed.

"Seriously?" She huffed, with her hands on her hips.

"Oops." He said.

"Move over I'm too tired to do this crap right now." She said seriously.

"There's only one spot." Zarkon said, grinning deviously.

"Yeah no. I'm not sleeping on top of you because I know what that leads to and I just popped out baby number two so guest bedroom for me it is." She said.

She turned around to walk out. She squeaked in surprise when she was lifted off the ground.

"Put me down." She growled.

"Watch that tone and you're sleeping in a guest bedroom wearing a robe and a nightgown. Every guard in this palace will think we're having marital problems and will try to make a move on you. I'll be damned if they even look at you. The only one who will be banging you is me. Understood?" He said seriously, looking her straight in the eyes.

"Did you breathe in the midst of any of that?" Elara gasped after nodding.

"No I did not." He said.

"Ok breathe and put me down please." Elara pleaded. 

"How about no? Actually..." Zarkon said as he dropped her the bed.

"Thank you now good night." She huffed and pulled the sheets over her. To her surprise she heard Zarkon start laughing evilly.

"I love how you think I'm going to let you sleep tonight. You're wrong."
