“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jonah asked as he gave the other with an ‘innocent’ smile. “I had nothing to do with the…The situation that you’re in.” A lie of course…But Jonah rarely tells the truth. So why would he start now? “I’m just an innocent little witch who’s minding their own business.”

     “you fucker,” freya cursed, something that rarely happened but she was too angry to hold herself back now, especially with her hormones at their peak. looking down at the baby clothes scattered on the ground, she could feel the rage rising within her. “why the hell would you do that?” hadn’t it been for the fact that she was eight months pregnant, she would’ve already be fighting him. “what thrill did you get out of that?”

He shook his head, smiling tightly. “Maybe I did take a course. I’ve been haunted by it since it happened. But no, really, you caught me in a bad time. I had prepared a whole dinner for this young lady I’d been trying to impress for weeks and I got carried away when your puppy messed it up.” He let out a huff. “No use bringing up the past, though. Especially with, I presume, your new spouse and my own impending marriage.” Looking down for a pause, he then offered, “I’ll carry your things. I’m sure whoever is responsible for getting you knocked up wouldn’t want you waddling to the hotel with a ton of grocery bags filled with — what are these, I’m sorry?” Lance couldn’t help laughing slightly at the wild assortment of food cravings she’d purchased.

     “oh... well.” that was the first reaction she could muster up, looking down at atlas cradled in her arms staring at lance. she didn’t know that getting ready for weeks part and also that atlas had ruined it. so, naturally, his imagine in her wasn’t quite the best. “didn’t know you weren’t actually a big scary puppy-hater.” she offered a small, easy grin, shaking her head. “yeah. i see everything happens for a reason.” she said before releasing atlas, making sure this time he wouldn’t run off. she considered telling him not to bother for a moment but it was also true that those weighted a bit more than she should carry. “that’d be my fiance.” she replied instead, picking up the less heavy ones. “and he’d possibly lose it if he saw it.” she agreed regardless before furrowing her eyebrows, eyeing the items. “well... those -- hey, if you haven’t tried them you don’t get to laugh!” she said, though she was amused herself, too. “look, i don’t get to choose what i crave, alright?”

The silence was deafening, though for once Asher did not have the faintest idea of what to fill it with. Maybe because he felt like he didn’t know how to say what he should be saying. How to share when he felt like he would be burdening his fiancee with some pretty huge concerns. There were plenty of reasons he hadn’t shared every grizzly detail of his past, partly because he didn’t know how to talk about it. And partly because he was ashamed such darkness existed within him. On top of it all he felt guilty that the sex of their baby somehow mattered this much to him. He wanted to be the best parent he could be no matter if their kid was a boy or a girl, but at the same time he couldn’t deny that his lack of experience both as a brother and as a son himself was troubling, added to fears and worries he hadn’t even considered all that much prior to this. Noticing he had not managed to hide his emotions as well as he had hoped, Ash swallowed back the heavy guilt. Once inside the apartment he immediately wanted to compensate somehow by clearing away the bags and making her dinner or something. Anything to make up for his lack of enthusiasm and presence. Though he didn’t get even that far, feeling her hand in his, staring back with big, blue eyes. “O-Okay.” Asher quietly agreed, sinking down on the cushions next to Freya, keeping her hand in his despite being aware that she was about to express some concern or maybe even annoyance. He full on deserved it at the moment. While her assumption wasn’t foolproof, his face was still awash with guilt as he tried to form a response. “No, no thats not it I.. Its just that ever since we found out the sex I.. well I’ve been having a bit of a hard time with it. Not because I’m not excited or won’t love our son no matter what but… there are things about my childhood that I haven’t told you Freya. And it matters.. a whole lot more than I would like it to.” 

     the more she was into the pregnancy, the more complications and problems occured. her movements were restricted, before anything else. while she was still smaller than the average during this month, it was surely affecting her and making her feel tired almost all the time, especially if she moved around a lot like today, making her body ache. but the worse thing was the mood swings because of the hormonal changes in her body. something very petty could get her quite sad or angry, and her mood could change within the blink of an eye. she’d often find herself crying at a movie scene, even if it was just some animation. and now, asher’s lack of interest and excitement made her chest tighten in pain, that fear sinking down low in her stomach which was clear on her face along with the hurt she felt. but of course, she would not accuse him of anything - and soon enough before she could ask anything he started to speak, making her furrow her eyebrows a bit as her lips were formed into a pout without even realizing. “you... are you sure?” she asked, swallowing the lump in her throat as she blinked, not wanting to let another one of her mood swings happen. “i feel -- felt like you changed your mind about this.” now saying those words did hurt, all emotions raw and visible on her face as she couldn’t help it, her free hand protectively going to rest on the side of her belly, thumb softly caressing instinctively. though his words caught her attention more, so she shifted a bit, giving his hand a squeeze, now confused too. “what... what things?” on top of everything she had been feeling, now worry was added too and freya found herself taking a deep breath to compose herself, in need of at least the worry and confusion to go by him telling her what had been bothering him. “ash, please - you know you can tell me anything. i’m worried... please.”

[freyakniight]

     stepping into the quiet hotel room of theirs, freya could feel the weight of the silence between them a lot more now. their trip to the shop had started quite good, actually, and even though there was nothing wrong between them, freya could just feel asher wasn’t as interested. she didn’t want to assume things, but it was clearly bringing her down even if she did enjoy the little shopping they had for the baby. so when they got inside, she placed down the very few shopping bags in her hands, walking over to the couch and catching asher’s hand before he could get to stocking the items away. “hey - let’s just sit with me first? i’ll help you put them away later.” she said, slowly lowering herself onto the couch, a relief washing over her once she could get to rest her back. her baby bump was getting bigger, which meant more backaches and her being easily tired. with a soft sigh, she looked at asher, a small frown on her face. “i... i feel like that’s not something you enjoy. i mean... shopping for the baby.” that was the most optimistic reason she could muster up for his lack of interest, in all honesty.

Internally, he sighed. It would make things less burdensome for him if he could believe that her assessment of him was completely untrue, but he couldn’t even say it was an unfair assessment. He ran after Atlas expeditiously and returned, trying his best not to show any signs of hostility towards the dog he held in his arms. “Do you see?” he asked despite struggling a bit with the very-much-in-motion Atlas. He happened to like dogs, but not even Atlas seemed to have forgotten the strained history. “We’re friends, me and Atlas. I can be civil.” He let Atlas go at the first opportunity, however. “Do you need some more help picking your things up?”

     freya tried to pick her items from the ground as lance went after atlas, much to the witch’s surprise. her last encounter with the man hadn’t ended well because of that very puppy he was after right now and in all honesty, she wasn’t expecting him to be so willing to catch the dog now. once he returned with atlas, freya was done picking her items and putting them back into the shopping bags, holding out her hands to cradle atlas. “you’re so very grounded, atlas.” she said with a sigh before looking back at lance, shaking her head. “i don’t recall you being this friendly with him, ever.” the witch said, still in surprise, the edges of her lips forming into a slight smile. “what - did you take a course or?” she teased, shaking her head. “no, i got everything.”

Lance thought the exact same, very much sarcastic set of words. She had caused him to spill coffee all over his freshly pressed shirt, but he knew the encounter was still hardly improving her perception of him, the former suitor who ranted his chances away following a painfully similar accident. Freya. To her, he was Lance the Puppy Hater. Cold and callous. Screamed in the presence of a tiny, innocent canine. (Minus context, it sounded so bad for him.) “Take your things,” he asserted steadily, despite the awkwardness. “I’ll go run after Atlas. You’re pregnant, right? Trying to be helpful!”

     freya wanted to huff and possibly yell at the man - pregnancy hormones were the worst - but atlas running away and her items being scattered on the floor distracted her from it, though his next words were even more surprising. “you -- you will what?” freya asked in shock, eyebrows raised. “you sure you won’t just yell that he’s ugly and run off?” she huffed for real this time, trying to pick up her bags. despite her annoyence at past memories, she had to trust him with that, given she couldn’t really run herself. “...okay -- okay, go, i’ll catch up!”

     having taken atlas out for a walk and bought some necessary stuff -- and by necessary, she meant all the weird food combinations she had been craving all day -- freya was ready to head back to the hotel, making sure to walk at a relatively slow pace, knowing asher would freak out even if he found out she had been carrying shopping bags. distracted when atlas tried to move in the direction of the park, she tried to get him to keep walking along her and that was when she collided against someone, dropping her bags. “careful!” she exclaimed, looking down at the mess. “ shit. ” mumbled the girl before looking up at the person, eyebrows furrowing. “you-” she hissed, slowly lowering herself to pick up the items and shove them back into the bags, hoping nothing was damaged. “great. just great.”

Asher kept quiet, listening intently as the doctor spoke. He knew they needed money still, especially for an apartment or house if they were to be all ready when the baby did come. But Freya’s health, and the baby’s health, came before earning that money. He had already picked up a job as a bartender, though fairly recently, and he would gladly get himself a day job and work two jobs if it meant that Freya could focus mainly on taking care of herself and the baby. The night shifts and the heavy lifts worried him, even hearing her describe if got his heart pounding a little, though he said nothing, waiting for the doctor to tell them whether or not it was safe for her to continue to do so. “Four months.. okay.” Asher said, taking note and storing all the information he could, momentarily wishing for a pen and a piece of paper to jot all of this down. It seemed like the doctor was awfully confident they had loads of time before the baby arrived.. and Asher felt the exact opposite, as if there wasn’t enough time, as if he had so much to learn. One minute he would be reassure himself with Freya’s experience, the next he would be feeling bad he didn’t have some and wondering if it would be a burden to her that he knew less than she did. That last part did not entirely come with reassurances. Trouble breathing and complications sounded like big words with big worries attached to them. The doctor promised vigilance and careful monitoring, but what if they slipped up? What if any of these things happened while at home or work or out and about? Asher pressed his lips together to keep from voicing his thoughts. He would just be expressing worry that the doc had already tried to ease.. “Alright, we’ll go with a meal plan then.” He nodded a bit, trying to enjoy the awe and not be drowned by his thoughts. This was a special moment. “It.. amazing. Do you want to know the sex?” He asked Freya with a soft smile. Ash had to admit that it would be nice to stop calling the baby ‘it’ or trying to come up with creative nicknames. Releasing one of his hands he gently brushed a hand trough her hair. She was so heartbreakingly beautiful, even crying. The mother of his child. Actually they were both beautiful, her and the little firecracker. “Still can’t believe it..” 

     freya knew asher would do anything to make sure they were ready for when the baby came but to her, it didn’t mean he had to. she knew at some point she’d basically have to stop working, though which meant she’d have to find other things she could do from home, such as translating or writing articles for online magazines. “hey… everthing’s gonna turn out alright, okay?” it seemed this time it was her turn to reassure the other as she saw his face, easily able to see he was nervous and worried which she didn’t want. so she caressed the back of his hand with her thumb, nodding her head at the doctor’s words, knowing she could trust him with guiding them on taking care of their baby since it was his profession, after all. and she started to enjoy the moment, listening to the baby’s heartbeat and watching the black and white image on the monitor. the only explanation for that little one was to call this a miracle and even then it was still so unbelievable. when asher’s question came and her face lit up again. “yes — i’d love to,” head turning to look at the doctor quickly, freya raised her eyebrows in question, absently clasping asher’s hand tighter. ‘if i can get a better angle given it’s hard to see because of the baby’s position, i surely can tell you the gender.’ his words planting hope in her, she again looked at asher with a bright smile, heatbeat pace drastically picking up. ‘you might feel a slight pressure, it’s okay.’ the doctor warned before moving the device on her belly, trying to get a better angle which did hurt only a little when he pressed a bit harder, but she remained calm, only furrowing her eyebrows and hissing softly. but soon enough, the man suddenly stopped and focused on the screen, freya’s heart beating like crazy in her chest. ‘it seems you’ll welcome a…’ the suspension making her breathe heavily, she was now clasping asher’s hand even tighter. ‘…boy! congratulations.’ freya’s lips parted open as a gasp escaped her lips and she looked at asher with awe on her face. “ash… we’re having a boy!” she repeated, unable to help the sob escaping her lips as she looked down at her belly. “a baby boy,” filled with a mix of feelings, she hugged asher and didn’t even notice the doctor standing up to get their papers ready, only realizing the appointment was done when she was handed tissues to clean her belly. “thanks, doc.” she smiled brightly, quickly getting to clean the gel to be able to leave and celebrate in private with her fiance already.

Seeing Freya grinning like that eased Asher’s nerves tremendously. He truly wanted nothing more than to see her happy, know she was healthy and safe. Ever since the order attack he had sworn that would be his top mission in life, to keep her and their baby safe. “Uhm doc, I too have some questions for you if you don’t mind? Ahm.. is it safe for Freya to be working when she’s this far along? And do we have the right vitamins and everything? I mean if the baby is too small then yes more food but can vitamin deficiency or the fact that.. babe I love you but you are a tiny thing, does that affect the baby?” While the mention of a meal plan made sense, Ash wanted to know that they had covered all their bases. And honestly, he was worried about Freya moving around too much now that she was so far along. Maybe it was a bit mean, to ask the doctor instead of just voicing his concern to her, asking if she could slow down to ease his stress levels about her well being. It was all very complex, but Asher did not want her to feel like he didn’t think she was capable or strong enough. Because she was but at some point, medically, she had to take it fairly easy, didn’t she? “For a meal plan, do we see a nutritionist?” he added, cocking a brow towards the doc, taking a breath before, with a somewhat apologetic smile adding. “And uhm, any chance you’d talk me trough what to do if she goes into labor early or before we can get to a hospital?” Now that part.. god that part worried him a whole lot. He was so scared of doing something wrong, or god forbid, have to deliver his own child in their bathroom or something. Though he was, pleasantly distracted by the monitor and the both sight and sound of their baby. Its little heart beating so fast, but so strongly. “Y-Yeah I see..” he said, stumbling a bit, stuttering almost as he was hit with an immense feeling of pride and a warmth he recognized as love. That was their child. Their little one. Asher brought his other hand up to clasp Freya’s one hand with both of his now, his grip very strong as he stared wide eyed at the monitor, then down at her teary eyed expression. “Thats our baby..” he murmured, totally in awe.

     as asher started to ask his own questions, freya listened intently, some of them being the ones she already thought about but was waiting to ask so she was glad that that he asked actually. her attention moved back to the man as he started answering his questions. ‘i’d say it depends on the job.does it include any heavy work?’ after his words, freya felt the need to step in to explain her job. “i work as a vet assistant currently. well, it’s mostly paperwork and helping the vet take care of the animals but sometimes we gotta carry boxes and animals around, and then there are night shifts. i’d say those are the only hard parts of it.” while freya really loved her job, if it meant keeping their baby safe, then she would stop working. though in that case, her worries about saving enough money for the baby would rise as well as the thought that she’d be leaving all the work to asher. ‘pregnant women can work, that’s for sure - but what we recommend is taking a break during the pregnancy, especially after four months. your body will naturally refuse to do such things that you could do easily before, and it’s pretty normal.’ the doctor explained, and freya turned her head to look at asher for a moment, then kept listening to the man. ‘just like every other pregnant woman, you’ll have to take some vitamins as well and i’ll be giving the meal plan, you don’t have to worry about that, as well as what to do in the case of early labor, given you still have time to learn what you should know.’ freya was glad that the doctor could quite ease their nervousness even though it felt like new questions would rise everytime he answered one. ‘about freya being quite petite... now, that might cause some complications, such as trouble breathing through the pregnancy and problems with natural delivery, but there’s nothing to fear since if we monitor the pregnancy through it, we’ll be able to prevent any complications. but our first concern is weight gain and providing the baby with the needed nutritions.’ as all his questions were answered, the couple was clearly mesmerized  by the sigh and the sound coming from its heart. “yeah... here’s the little peanut...” she said with a bright smile, tears forming fast. she held onto his hand tight, breathing heavily. heavens, so his was how it felt like to be a mother. “asher -- oh god, we created this life...”

It was normal to be nervous when it was their first time. Or so Asher told himself. While he was doing his best to remain calm and levelheaded, he was anxious to be told everything was alright with his fiancee and their unborn child. He did have some questions and concerns, though he would let Freya ask all she could think of first, his top priority being to walk out of here with her reassured and her fears eased. Luckily neither of them were doing this alone. They were in it together, a team. Most days, when Asher considered his glaring lack of experience with kids, that was what got him trough, or what kept him from worrying too much about becoming a father. He knew he wouldn’t be alone in this, and that Freya was a natural with kids, who had tons of knowledge she could share with him. Hearing her list her troubles Ash felt bad that he didn’t know how to ease any of her discomfort. The nausea he did have a couple of suggestions for how they could manage if it became worse and he would no doubt be watching her like a hawk just as he had for the past week. He barley managed to keep back a sigh, though also it was good to hear that every symptom was a normal one. Glancing over at her he managed a soft smile back, eyes widening a bit as the doctor mentioned seeing the baby. Ultrasound? Already? “Thats amazing.. I thought it might be too soon..” he murmured back, his smile wider now, leaning down to kiss Frey’s cheek. Her grin made his heart pound. She was looking so beautiful. He was constantly in awe of her. 

     so far, this was going a lot better than she had imagined and since they luckily had such a nice doctor, she was feeling more relaxed with trusting the man with their baby. still anxious about learning more of the pregnancy and the baby (mostly she feared if anything was wrong) though, she tried to pay full attention to the doctor, even though asher’s presence would distract her since she also wanted to see his reactions as well. so hearing his words, her grin only grew wider as she did also think the same thing. ‘actually, if you’re lucky enough you can even get to know the gender, given she’s around twelve weeks now.’ the man said. twelve weeks. and all that time, until recently, she didn’t know she was carrying a life - one that asher and she created - and even recklessly threw herself into a fight. feeling dread pushing down her chest, she let out a breath, glad that nothing had happened to the baby. once the gel was spread on the quite small baby bump, the doctor started to move the device on her stomach as she was focused on the screen. after pondering for a moment, the doctor spoke again. ‘well - the baby seems to be healthy, but we’ll need the baby to grow a bit more given it’s a tad smaller than it should’ve been. everything should be normal with a proper meal plan.’ the words making her heart skip a beat, she felt so bad about not taking care of herself properly after the attack, quickly nodding. “okay, anything -- we’ll do anything to make sure the baby is healthy.” she said, swallowing. though soon enough the doctor started to show them the body parts of their baby, all organs already developed. quite mesmerized, her eyes were shining with happy tears as she gripped asher’s hand tight. “you see that?” she whispered, right before the doctor started to make them listen to the baby’s heartbeat, and freya was the most still ever, ears tuned to that sound. “ash...” she mumbled, clasping a hand over her mouth, struck by the fast beating of their baby’s small heart.

breathofaudrey:

Audrey looked the girl over with a quirked eyebrow. “Well, we are witches, right? Certainly if we can’t magic out outfits to be a bit better, our powers are quite lame.” The girl tried to think of a spell, this was actually something her mother had taught her, as her mother had very rarely took time to teach her daughter any magic. “That’s probably the best thing about being pregnant,” She told Freya, though, she wasn’t entirely sure there was anything good about being pregnant, as it resulted in having a child, “Being able to eat as much as you want and no one can judge you.”

     “that’d be right. though i can’t think of a spell for that right now...” she said, squinting her eyes a bit as she thought about it. spending some time with one of her kind was quite refreshing, she noted. ever since she found out about the baby, she was going easier on herself when it came to magic, but playing with it a bit surely wouldn’t hurt. “that really is one of the best parts.” she agreed with a grin, nodding her head. “even though there are some limitations, eating for two is always good especially when no one can judge you for that.”

[freyakniight]

breathofaudrey:

“You have a choice,” Audrey told the other, “We can sit here and waste precious moments of our lives, that we can never get back, doing this routine filler task…” Her eyes glanced outside and across the street where people in nice clothing were gathering, “Or, we can go to the thrift shop down the block, buy something funky, and crash a wedding. What do you say?” Reaching out a finger, she poked their arm. “Come on, it’ll be fun.”

     a small smile appearing on her face, freya looked at the girl with some amusement in her expression, wishing she could just do those things, too. “as fun as the offer is,” she began, smile turning into an apologetic one. “i don’t think i can move around that fast so much. some little troublemaker won’t let me, i get tired really easily.” thumb caressing across her stomach lightly, she grinned. “but if we can just walk in like this without going thrift shopping, i’m in. i could never say no to some cake and treats they give at weddings.”

Asher didn’t know if she was stressed out over the medical aspect of their appointment, or just stressed out in general. Either way he wanted to make sure that she knew he was here to help her and be beside her trough it all. Personally he wasn’t a great fan of doctors. Since becoming a wolf he hadn’t needed to visit any emergency room or have a yearly check up, but as a child the doctors were the ones buying all the lies his mother and stepfather had told when his injuries were too severe for them to ignore or patch up at home. Asher had never said a word, but deep down he had wished so desperately for someone at the hospital to just ask, to just care a little and not buy the lies so easily. His child would never know that kind of pain. No this child would be brought up in an anti-violence home, with loving parents who made sure him or her were safe. “Of course, every step of the way.” he confirmed with a soft smile to Freya, his thumb stroking the top of her hand gently, hoping to soothe her a little. All the stress was not good for the baby. “Its gonna be okay.” Ash stuck close to Freya’s side, giving the doctor a polite smile. “Hiya there doc.” He seemed like a nice enough guy. Staying by Freya’s side, Asher’s gaze returned to her, giving her a small smile. 

      sitting on the bed, her eyes were traveling between all those items she could barely understand the usage of at best, and then back to asher. having him beside her was such a relief, she was lucky to have a fiance who loved her and wanted this baby just as much, she didn’t even want to think what would she do had asher not been positive about this all. being here alone, having to go through all this without someone to rely on... it’d be horrible. so freya did her best and gave him a smile when he greeted the doctor, only to be distracted when the doctor asked her about her symptoms, her focus now on the question. “morning sickness has started lately, it’s not too bad but i wake up nauseous - and there’s this dizziness. and i get tired very easily. and i’m very sensitive to smells -- oh and, i sometimes have very faint cramps, is that normal? i just-” cutting herself off when she realized she was practically bombarding the man with a hundred questions per minute, giving him an apologetic smile. “sorry...” thankfully, the doctor just chuckled at her excitement and explained that all those were normal things, which made her look at asher with a bir smile on her face, squeezing his hand. though, the real thing which got her heart beating like crazy was him saying ‘let’s take a closer look at the little one.’ and starting to get the monitor ready. “we’ll -- we’ll get to see the baby...” she whispered to her fiance, grin growing wider as she pulled her shirt up a bit, exposing her very slight bump.

[freyakniight]

thexwildones:

Asher wasn’t sure if his gestures or touches were helpful at all. At the moment he had to trust most of the care to the doctors, being unable to do much about the symptoms and developments of pregnancy. He prayed that the check up would prove and assure them both that the baby was fine, just as Freya ought to be fine. He had a list of questions in his head however which he was anxious to ask the doctor about, but also hoped that some of those questions would be answered naturally just by the examination itself. Neither of them knew what they were walking into with this, and Ash tried to convince himself that once they had done this the first time, then the other times wouldn’t be as stressful or nerve wracking. He nodded a bit, holding tightly on to her hand, eyebrows raised, awaiting her reply, which he never got as a nurse interrupted. Well, that was good. “Thank you.” he told the nurse, though his attention quickly returned to Freya. The message only seemed to increase her nerves, as she started shaking and he could hear her heart beat rise. “Its okay, no one is going to hurt you, everything will be fine, I promise.” 

     freya wasn’t scared of the doctor, of course, but it was true that with her mother instincts having been already kicked in since the day she found out that she was pregnant, the witch was always in protection mode. and in all honesty, her mind would always be stuck on the fact that she was now pregnant and had to be more careful with even the everyday tasks even though she’d oftentimes forget about it for a moment since all this was still so new to her. so now, even though the doctor was no one to fear, she was still anxious and nervous about this. hopefully she was going to walk in and find out that the baby was safe and well and have all her questions answered. for now she tried to focus on asher’s words and hold tightly onto his hand, nodding her head. “yeah... yeah you’ll be with me after all...” she reminded herself, managing to finally calm down a bit. after exactly five minutes, the door opened again and she knew it was their turn when the other couple walked out with big smiles on their faces. “okay -- it’s okay.” she mumbled, slowly rising to her feet as she still gripped asher’s hand tight, walking into the room. once the doctor greeted them and told her to get on the medical bed before him as he did some arrangements on the monitor, she took a deep breath and looked at asher, doing as she was told so.

The familiar yet acute sound of Freya’s heartbeat was pretty much all Asher could hear where he sat, hands clasped together, elbows resting on his knees as he was leant forward, sitting right on the edge of the seat, ready to spring up and into action at a moments notice. The wait seemed to take forever, leaving him restless, though also very aware of how stressed his fiancee grew beside him. Hearing her sigh, he med her gaze with a soft one of his own, reaching out for her hand to hold between both of his own. “Deep breaths babe. I’m sure it won’t be long now.” He tried to assure, also trying to hide his annoyance at the doctor. Just how late could one practitioner of medicine be? “Do you need a glass of water or something? Or I could go check that they haven’t forgotten about us.” 

     as he held her hand in his bigger ones, a feeling of safety and comfort was transmitted through her own being, helping her ease a bit even though she was sure the stress wouldn’t subdue until after their appointment. the unknown was what made her anxious and she just wanted to go in and find out about everything they needed to know, even see the baby on the monitor if she was lucky enough. all of this was so new to her and even though she knew there was no reason to be, she felt a bit scared, too. “yeah - yeah...” she said, focusing on her breathing after his words. shaking her head, she just gave his hand a squeeze. “no, i’m good. but maybe you could-” before she could finish her sentence, a nurse read her name which caught her attention, then told her to get ready since the doctor was to see her in five minutes. now the witch was trembling slightly, feeling dizzy as she held onto his hand tighter. turning her head to asher, she breathed, “five minutes.”
