Gimme Some Truth {Raina}

If she previously only had a suspicion that Daina was acting odd, watching her fumble with her hands was enough to convince Riley she was right. Slightly annoyed, she felt like now there was something her wife was down right not saying. “What do you mean–what might come up, what does that have to do with the room?” her tone was laced with confusion, though in the back of her mind, she began to question if everything was okay with the baby, but as usual, Riley didn’t feel prepared to ask the right question. If she was being honest, she still wanted to avoid as much baby talk as she possibly could, for fear of revealing her lack of connection to it and hurting Daina. “I suppose, I understand that. Personally, I’d rather focus on one thing at the time–“ she sighed, trying not to sound dismissive of Daina’s idea, though she couldn’t see why it’d be a better idea than what she had in mind already, “which is, being done with our old stuff first” she added, furrowing her eyebrows as she glanced at her wife. It’s not like they didn’t have the money to get all the necessities for the baby in record time once they were ready.
Daina pressed her lips together, internally chastising herself for not bringing this conversation up sooner. “Well, it’s possible the baby comes early, which is almost always unexpected, and a ton of other things, you know? Things come up with pregnancies all the time, Babe”. She let out a breath and looked to the side, blinking rapidly. Normally, the blonde can easily sense the disconnect her wife has when talking about their baby and all that will come with it, and she’ll change the subject to avoid any further discomfort. But now, that’s the furthest thought from her mind. All she can think of is how she might reveal this life changing news without her wife demanding an illegal divorce on the spot. “I get you want to get the house done before we focus on it, but the babies’ room is part of the house too. Maybe working on it will help you feel..better about the whole thing, you know?”. She swallowed nervously, finally looking up at Riley. “Plus, think of all the stuff we’ll need. It’ll pile up if we don’t get on it now”.
