Whoops

Solitude flapped his wings at the unexpected movement and laboriously took to the air to join Imperia. The two of them had become near inseparable besides when they took patrols. Their flight patterns together seemed more and more like a dance as the days went by. Rhyme hadn't meant to disturb Alma, but his head was doing loop-de-loops better than Imperia above them. Tana was pregnant, by him, by complete surprise.

She didn't sound near as concerned as he felt, though their size difference was often on his mind. Tana sounded surprised and asked what he was so caught up about. He really didn't want to heap his concerns on her, he knew stress was the opposite of what she needed. He wanted her reassurance though. "What if something happens, what if they're too big for you, what if a healer can't get to you in time?" the words spilled from his lips like he never intended. They had a long way to go before birth, would he be able to keep her safe until then? All at once the world seemed much more dangerous and threatening. Hope was there too though, he had the beginnings of his own family right in front of him.
