Not long, she said. Not long. That was good.
...Why was that good?
He listened closely as she spoke; to him, to the little being taking up residence within her. It was comforting somehow to see her so blissful and relaxed. He hoped he'd get the chance to see Josie that way too one day. If she was still around..
When she finally drew quiet, she slumped against him a little. He almost shied away, still not comfortable with being so close to someone, but he was fairly relaxed with her, and besides which the furrow in her brow caught his attention. It wasn't the first time she'd worn one when getting lost in thought after talking about the baby. Something kept disturbing her, and it was beginning to eat at him not knowing what it was.
She nudged his shoulder and asked after his..lady, and he let the question distract his worries away from her. For now.
A shy half-smile almost crept up his lips, thinking of sweet Josie carrying his unborn babe, but he swiped it away.
She isn't- he paused, a little tense. She wasn't really his but there didn't seem to be any reason he should clarify that. He restarted though.
Her name is Josie. She is who I brought with me to your Sylva. I haven't been able to find her again for a while now though. His voice trailed off, wondering if he should try searching again. He would need to soon, find her and check on her. An amused little smirk found its way to his lips as he glanced over her rounded figure.
She might need assistance rolling around too, you know. Maybe you could teach her a thing or two about that.
