take a bow, for those bad decisions we made

"I'm pregnant, Ignis."

She was angry at him, for assuming she'd make that up. He turned around, marching back over to her. Demanding to know what she was talking about. Accusing her of lying to him. She had never once lied to him on purpose. Eden drew herself up to her tiny full height, staring at him. Locking daggers with him. But she knew... she hadn't misheard his hesitance. It wasn't fear or concern, but a willingness to accept what had happened.

"They are yours" she continued, feeling her legs wobble under stress and anger "I am not lying to you. I am a healer - I can tell if a woman is pregnant, let alone myself" She didn't even bother to chuckle at that. Eden lowered her head, feeling tired of all this. If he won't be kind to them, I will abort them she thinks if he doesn't want them, I will have to as well. "why do you think I'd lie to you about this? What possible boon could there be?"

She may be a mother. He would be a father. But... she was scared. If he was any other man, she would bury herself in his fur. She would sob and cry. She could even be happy about it. But now she felt all sorts of hollow. Of regret and shame.
