What?!

Something about the way Lillie moved, and the way she started speaking, made him immediately worry something was wrong. She'd seemed oddly indifferent about her demotion, though with her scarcity around the back she shouldn't have been all that surprised, and the first thing he thought was maybe she'd want to talk about that. Whatever kind of rivalry existed between his sister and Lillianna wasn't something he necessarily wanted to get in the middle of, and he hoped desperately it wasn't about to resurface.

But no. She was talking about something else entirely. She'd went to see Vali about being sick and... holy fuck. His eyes widened at her admission, noting she seemed about as okay with it as he personally felt. "Oh," Lark breathed, quietly, stunned into silence for a moment. He wasn't unexcited, persay, but he was scared shitless. He wasn't fit to be a father. What if he turned out like his mom, abandoning his family? Or worse, what if Lillie pulled her disappearing act again and left him alone with a litter of kids? Not that he expected that, but the sudden wave of panic that gripped him made him think the worst.

"I.. uh.. holy fuck." They'd mated enough that it seemed more surprising that this hadn't happened before now, but he still found himself surprised, like he was being thrust into a role he was totally and completely unprepared for. Eyes still wide, he pulled back and asked, "Are you.. um.. excited? Terrified? Because I'm both, I think." He tried to force a grin, hoping the panic he felt didn't totally overwhelm the part of him that looked forward to this. There was nobody else he would rather have kids with, that'd been obvious for years, so maybe this was all just something that was due and he should've anticipated. But still.. holy shit. He was going to be a father.
