Epiphron Adravendi-Mathias wasn't quite certain what he had to talk to her about. Surely it wasn't anything good, as she could sense the very anxiety that chiseled at the core of his being. And yet he seemed to relax and she embraced him, and so did she, her head drooping as she slid it beneath his own head and inhaled deeply. He asked her to speak first, and so she would. "I'm ... pregnant." The words ought to have been filled with more joy, more excitement -- and yet they simply seemed hesitant and guarded as she pulled away from him. She had no doubt that she would love these children, and would enjoy them upon their birth, but right now she couldn't force herself to feel quite so happy. Would Maverick share in her worries? It was an awful time to have children; the timing really couldn't have been any worse. "It seems someone much greater than us seems to think us having kids so frequently is necessary," she said, voice slightly teasing, though she laughed nervously. But deep inside, she knew they would handle whatever came at them -- together. And so she pressed against him again, not waiting for his visible reaction, breathing in his scent deeply. |
