@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ah . and what has our dear brother done this time ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . why the screaming , anthony ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ yes , husband ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she does not even protest , only hides her face in the crook of his neck as she holds onto him . “ your child has betrayed me again . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she is nearly falling asleep in the drawing room , a hand over her stomach —— she has not even heard the ( *reader ) walk in . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@theldestone ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ( sniffling softly , shaking her head . ) i feel very nauseous , today . and edmund needed me earlier , but i could not go to him right away because i was feeling ill . it felt like i was failing him . as if i already cannot manage having two children . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@viscountloved don't give me that. ( he shakes his head and quickly drops to his knees to look at her, thumbs across her cheeks. ) what is troubling you ?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ( she does , if he does not mind . ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@theldestone ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ( she may or may not be crying softly when he finds her . ) i am well , i promise . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@viscountloved ( he would never mind that, that's why he finally finds her. ) kathani ?

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ it is like my body rejects your absence . i only feel better in your presence . ( she sighs softly , closing her eyes for a moment . ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ( nestling herself into his embrace , hiding her face in the crook of his neck and breathing him in . ) i do not like being needy . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ( she loves that being needed by his pregnant wife seems to be his happy place . ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ only you . it seems to be the only thing that helps , this time around . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ oh ? and who are you planning on journeying there with ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ perhaps not a duel . i could use some company to distract me from the nausea , however . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she has . it worked wonders when she was carrying edmund , but it is not as effective this time around . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ of course , if i can . what do you need help with ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . you would duel our unborn child . . which might be a girl ? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ if she has any ideas for what might make the nausea go away , she will gladly try anything . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ where is her husband ? their unborn child is making her life very difficult today . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@vicecount ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ cue her lips curving into a smile —— eyes watering . “ i believe that i am with child , my love . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
