third times the charm

Speech ─ Think

While the weight of promising herself to Stolas entirely was heavy, it was not nearly as heavy as the news that her daughter was their daughter. The silence that hung between them even for the short time that it was felt like an eternity and Widow found that she was holding her breath in anticipation of his words. Would he be angry at her for taking this long to figure it out? Had he known all along and been too nervous to say anything? What if he wasn't ready to be a father, even to a grown daughter? Her mind swirled and spun around so fast that she almost didn't hear him when he spoke.

When he wasn't mad, upset, or any other negative mood, Widow wasn't sure how to react. While she had hoped that he would be happy, she was surprised that he was. It took her a moment to process his words, simply staring at him in disbelief and awe before she finally found something to say to him. "Do you want.. to make your family bigger?" Perhaps not the most appropriate thing to say in the moment, however.
