He wasn’t sure how she would react when he told her. Their situation was born of happenstance, but they’d at least met on more than one occasion before getting knocked up.

One of the things he loved about Sedna was her wit and the banter they shared, but when it came to being serious, she quickly got down to business. It certainly wouldn’t be any different now, he was sure.
