There is no Plan B

Siren watched Dalila quietly as she struggled to speak or to find the words to say. Caramel ears slicked to her head, her mouth going dry as she waited, no idea what the dear woman would say now. The Queen wanted so badly to lean forward and embrace her sweet woman, but she refrained. Shame coated her features, she just barely was able to say her name. A soft whine fell from Siren’s lips, a soft encouragement as Dalila glanced up at her.

Aliana’s herbs hadn’t done their job. Siren’s blue and silver eyes widened in surprise and realization as Dalila went on to confess that she was pregnant. Siren’s delicate jaw fell and as Dal went silent she was stunned. There was no room to truly react, and with a start as Chimera’s deep voice Siren looked towards the door leading to the hall outside.

He addressed Dalila, seeming irritated towards her as he accused her of being unable to tell him herself and wondering if she sought to terminate. Siren picked up her jaw and meekly looked towards the sweet woman she loved, surprised when Chimera turned his ire on her. Her long braided tail tucked against her hip like a guilty puppy as he asked her if she would have told him had he not been standing here.

"We would have come to tell you together,” Siren replied softly. It was the truth. Maybe he didn’t realize that Dalila knew about Scylla and Albion long before he did. The Queen dipped her head and turned back to Dal, certain she would want to keep them. A part of her was thrilled with the idea of raising their children together. "You'll keep them, right?" Siren offered her follow up query in a near whisper.

"Speech"
