Eila was panicking.
Panicking wasn't something she would normally do, so she was panicking about the fact she was panicking also. The Suomi was marching up and down the length of her shared bedroom, deep in thought. Every so often she would stop, glance at the table, then to the ceiling, down to the floor then continue to march up and down.
"How are we even going to explain this " Eila thought to herself. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself, but unsurprisingly I didn't work. Instead, she just stressed herself out even more.
Outside the building, the sun had long since gone down and was close to rising, which meant Sanya would be back any moment. That fact alone made Eila even more panicked and stressed. The problem wouldn't just something the couple could just sit down and talk about, it needed to be sorted and organised, monitored and cared for. It wasn't an easy problem with a simple solution. It was much more complex than that.
Eila had found a pregnancy test.
It wasn't something she had ever expected to find in their bathroom bin, but it appeared Sanya hadn't tried very hard to hide it. Eila took one more look just to check. Positive.
"It must've been when we were in heat," Eila thought back to the time not too long ago, when the burning sensation her body was torturing her with just wouldn't lay off unless she would feel some kind of sexual touch from Sanya. The second night of their heat, they had made sweet love. When a witch goes into heat, it lessens their magical capabilities, which would often result in damage to the body due to inability to control a striker in battle or something like that. So, both Eila and Sanya would be taken off duty for a few days until they recovered. It was quite rare for witches to overlap their heat days, especially for smaller units (such as the 502nd), but sometimes it happened between couples or witches that shares close skinship.
Eila's mind flickered back to that time, it hadn't even entered her head that either of them could've gotten pregnant. It was probably the heat of the moment that caught them out. In a case where it was necessary, special contraceptive pills were available to all the witches. These were kept in the infirmary, in a place where they could all get to them without hassle, and nobody needed to explain things to anyone. Unless of course, it was a case like this.
Eila turned over on her bed, and found herself face to face with Sanya's black and red cat pillow. Subconsciously, the blonde pulled it in closer and took a deep sniff, inhaling all of Sanya's sweet scent.
