Rosa nearly heaved a dramatic sigh as her husband asked her for the fifth time in as many minutes whether she needed anything. She knew that he cared for her, but he needn't trouble himself so fruitlessly. She was pregnant, not dying, and she would rather do as much for herself as she could, while she could. If she needed something from him, she would ask, but that silly man just insisted on questioning her day and night as the whether there happened to be anything that she might need that she simply hadn't asked for. This was their first child, and Cecil thought her constitution delicate for nurturing the seed of what would become a new life. While that concern wasn't entirely unfounded, Rosa knew herself well. She was cautious enough, and she truly did want to have this child, so she would do her utmost to prevent a miscarriage.
