He rolls off of her silently, leaving her to catch her breathe. She pulls the sheet up to her chest, and wipes some sweat off her brow. She tries not to look at him, and tries to place a reason for the sick feeling in her stomach.

"You alright?" he asks shortly, not looking at her either.

"Yes," she lies, and squirms, feeling uncomfortable. She wants to find something to wipe herself with.

He nods, looking at the ceiling.

"We should be good for the next couple of weeks. The council will only allow me to take C class missions, but soon enough they'll realise that they need me for much more than that. We'll be able to scrape together some more money, and we'll be able to afford to let you take some time off when you're having the baby."

She starts a little, but doesn't say anything.

"This was the week, right?" he verifies, finally glancing at her. It tears at her that she can see nothing in his eyes except everything that she has before.

"Yeah," she whispers. "I'm sure. I should be... I should be pregnant soon."

"Good."

He turns away.

Is that all? she wants to ask. Is that all you want me for?

She wants to ask, but she doesn't.

She doesn't ask, so he doesn't answer.
