Her face was unnaturally pale, her beautiful blue irises wide with panic. I could see the start of a stream of tears begin to swell up in the corners of her eyes (why was she about to cry?). She had fallen onto her knees, her trembling hands maintaining a tight grip on my own. I was still standing (why was I still standing?), unable to do anything but stare into her eyes worriedly. Due to my height, however, I was slightly bending over just so she could hold my hands tightly (so tight).
"Pallis," she whispered, blinking twice. Her voice was so shaky, I thought she would just stop talking, leaving me in a world of confusion.
"Anhura?" I said, a tad bit unintentionally. I didn't want to pressure her into speaking, but she had me so damn worried. And she was so pale (so pale). What could she possibly have to say that would drive her to this state of instability?
"Pallis, I-I'm,"
Two tears fell, almost at the exact same time. I sunk to my knees and moved closer to her, to allow some degree of comfort. I nodded to encourage her to continue, still so desperate to figure out the mystery behind all of this.
"Pregnant."
AN: Um... I'm back? Haha. One of two "re-entry" fics I'll be posting tonight. The other one will probably get noticed more so than this one... BUT NEVERTHELESS. I shall write my PallisxAnhura anyway.
Disclaimer: I don't own Razia's Shadow, Pallis, or Anhura. However, I might own the baby. IF THERE IS ONE. No, jaykay. You can figure that out later.
