no, seriously, don't get the shotgun

Unfortunately Ulric took a lot less time to answer than she was hoping for, Lilith didn’t have her words in the right order. She didn’t know what to say or how to tell him at all. She knew that her father would forever be supportive and loving no matter what and she shouldn’t have been so nervous. Anxiety raced through her veins. Her smile very likely revealed those feelings as she grinned up at her father and accepted his invitation. Lil followed him inside.

Almost as if she was stalling Lil pawed at the long fur Ulric sat upon as he questioned her brightly. No idea what was coming or what she had done. The smile on his face made her feel so guilty. Again she chastised herself because he’d trusted her to be responsible and despite her best efforts here she was.

She averted her gaze as her face flushed with emotions. ”Well, um…” Did she explain how she had taken every precaution? Did she tell him she was sorry? Tears welled in her eyes as the emotions overwhelmed her, she was sensitive before but now that she was… Lilith swallowed hard and looked up at Ulric, using all of her strength to keep his silver gaze with her own as she spoke simply.

”I’m pregnant.” The tears didn’t quite spill over to her cheeks, but her voice was rough and her heart was pounding heavily against her chest. Lil didn’t know if it was her emotions getting to her or what but even breathing in was difficult and she gasped softly for air all while trying to keep herself together.
