Typhon didn't wonder if the excitement of their relationship would fade; everything was so new to him that it was hard to think beyond the future. Everything was in the here and now - each little touch and breath seemed to enrapture him like an entirely new experience. He felt a slow smile tugging at his lips as he leaned into her, feeling Zinnia press back into his touch. The expression only wilted slightly when she spoke, though not because her words weren't what he'd wanted to hear. Mostly he was just caught off guard, rendered momentarily speechless as he tried to process what she'd said.

Pregnant? He felt his chest constrict slightly, a wave of anxiety washing over him before he allowed a healthy dose of excitement to overrun him instead.  "You're sure?" Typhon started, his voice low, though his question was merely a rhetorical one and not one he expected her to answer. He was just dumbfounded; he'd never been a lucky man, and now that things were working out in his favor he wasn't quite sure how to take it. It felt like everything he'd gone through had led up to this one moment.. and now that it was here, he wasn't quite sure how to feel.

After a long pause, after trying to silence his suddenly frantic thoughts, he allowed himself a slow smile. Once it found hold, it seemed hard to imagine he hadn't smiled at the news at first, and he shifted his position to bring his snout to her chest, trailing down to her belly and burying into her fur as if he might somehow feel the children growing there. He knew it was too soon, but that wouldn't stop him from trying. The smile felt contagious, and he didn't bother fighting down the excited expression.  "Parents. I can't believe it..." Everything with Zinnia had felt so natural and easy, while the rest of his life had felt like such a struggle - that was how he knew she was meant for him, and he for her, just as the gods intended it.
