Kain couldn't help but think that Rosa was beautiful like this, slowly rounding in her belly with his child. He couldn't help his desire to touch her stomach, to feel the little bump that was the beginning of his very first offspring. Son or daughter, it hardly mattered. What was important was the fact that it was his child. It didn't hurt that she glowed at the thought of another child. But at the same time, the dragoon knew that he had to be wary, because Rosa was of a very delicate constitution while pregnant. He couldn't do anything to jeopardize either her life or his baby's.
When he first heard, Cecil was just as excited as Kain, as well as just as cautious to keep the white mage faring well, even as he teased that the child would do better with Rosa's personality. One friendly scuffle with a lot of banter later, and Kain laughed heartily as the paladin was stuck explaining to his four year old son where the dragon was that Cecil claimed he would be riding all night. Funnier still was the shade of red that the young king turned when Ceodore asked if he could ride the dragon too. It was a lot less funny when Cecil shot a venomous glare in the dragoon's direction before turning an absolutely sweet expression on his son and telling him that he would have to get permission from Kain, since the dragon was his.
That would have been disgusting if Kain hadn't been bringing up a new dragon mount. Of course, the mount was still a bit finicky, so it wasn't quite safe enough for Ceodore, but the dragoon had to hand it to his younger lover for such quick thinking. After all, Cecil most certainly had not been talking about riding an actual dragon himself. Well, the dragon would certainly be ready before Kain's own child greeted the world, and the blonde would be happy to take the children for rides then. Cecil, of course, would only be getting the other kind of ride.
