There is no Plan B

Dalila's ears flicked slightly when she heard the worry on Siren's voice. She wished she didn't have to keep coming to her love with bad news or at least what she felt would likely be bad news. She had no idea how Siren would react, but she didn't want to keep having to test the Queen's grace and kindness. She stopped as Siren got up and climbed down from the bed to meet her half way, looking down at her paws as Siren asked her if she was alright. That was a question that was too difficult to answer. How she was would depend heavily on Siren's reaction to the news and eventually Chimera's as well once he found out. She was too confused and conflicted on the situation to make her own opinion of it for herself right now, but perhaps Siren's reaction would help her gage things a bit better.

"Siren, I..." she began softly, struggling to make the words actually leave her lips. Her ears folded back against her head and she sighed, daring to give Siren's worried face a glance. "The... The herbs Aliana gave me didn't work," she told her, slowly beginning to build toward the truth of the situation. She was afraid of what Siren would say, of what she would think. It had been a tremendous gift to have Siren's forgiveness when she heard about what she had done originally, but this was a much more permanent and impactful truth. "I... I'm pregnant." There, it was finally out in the world. The words felt strange and difficult on her lips and she looked down at her paws while she waited for Siren's reaction, worrying about the worst and hoping for the best.
