Larxene watched Saix from the back porch of their small farm house. She needed to tell him soon, before the signs became too obvious. Her electric green eyes followed him as he went about the corral, checking on the newest additions to their farm.
The noble's hands went down to her stomach at the thought. How would her father react if he knew she was going to have a baby? Or better yet, react to the fact his most trusted solider, the street rat turned captain, was the father? Larxene snorted lightly and smiled. It wouldn't matter anyway since she was married to him.
She took a deep breath and walked towards Saix, her pale blue dress kissing the summer grass. Today she had to tell him. Why should she keep such great news from him? Larxene paused at the fence, petting the cow, which was grazing there.
"Saix, can you come here for a moment?" She asked. Saix looked over at her and nodded, smiling. He walked to the gate, pushing back the sheep that tried to follow him out. Larxene met him there, embracing him. By now she didn't care that he was sweaty and shirtless.
"Hey." Saix said, hugging her back and giving her a quick kiss.
"I have something to tell you." Larxene said, beaming brightly.
"What? Are we out of paopo fruit?" Saix asked, earning a chuckle from the blond woman.
"No, here come closer," The captain did so, looking at his wife questioningly. "I'm having your baby, Saix." Larxene whispered, beaming. Her husband's golden eyes widened and his lips parted.
"W-what? Really? This is wonderful!" Saix said, a large smile spreading across his face as he held Larxene close. She couldn't stop her own growing smile as her husband knelt in front of her, his hands gently caressing her small bump. "A dad…me…this is…"
"Wonderful." Larxene finished. Saix's eyes flashed up to look at her. "We're going to have a family now." The captain stood and kissed her lovingly.
"A family. Our family."
