When were you going to tell me about this? How far along are you? Do you know the gender?" Nathan sits his head up, asking excitedly and stammering as she sits down next to him and gently places her hand over his, "I was trying to write letter's to you the moment I had found out, placing calls, and doing anything I could to honestly reach you.. but there was nothing. A month after you'd left, I had started having morning sickness, and odd cravings. I had taken a test, and well.. I tried to tell you the moment I found out. But I don't think you ever got my message. I'm so sorry love that you didn't get a chance to hear soo-" He crashes his lips against hers and pulls away after a few seconds. "Don't worry about it love. Now, tell me more please." He smiles and shakes with excitement, looking into her eyes with adornment. "I'm 9 month's along starting today, and it's a girl." She smiles brightly, as he rubs his hand across her hardened pregnant stomach, feeling slight kicks here and there. /p

This is your biological daughter, I didn't cheat don't worry." She gently leans her forehead into his, understanding the fear and anxiety this may have caused inside him. "And I know you're going to be an absolutely amazing father.." She smiles, and whispers into his ear. "I promise.. I won't leave.." He breathes a shaky breath, as he keeps his warm calloused hands rubbing back and forth against her stomach, keeping his forehead pressed to hers, as Alzora hums softly, comforting him and destressing him. /p
