Despite how quietly she had made her departure, how slowly and delicately she had moved from her husband's side, he awoke anyway. Only briefly did she feel guilty for rousing him, for she truly was happy that he longed to be at her side as badly as she craved his presence there. He strode to her sleepily, and a smile danced about the corners of her lips, but her expression was easily less pleasant than usual.

It mostly felt like she was worrying herself too much, to the point where she felt nauseous and self-conscious of how her belly seemed more heavy than it used to. There were no obvious signs quite yet, and she knew it wasn't certain that she would bear children. She hadn't been in heat, after all.

"I'm sorry, Maverick," she said with a sigh, ceasing her pacing to press her cheek against his own in a warm but brief embrace. "Keep doing exactly what you've been doing," she said simply.
