boo: Sorry this is up late, I've been pretty busy making a wedding cake, and barely remembered it was Sunday.

Disclaimer: Yeah. She's even been DREAMING about making flowers. Even when she dreams about making other things, it turns into flowers at the end. Anyway, boo doesn't own ToS. Or anything.

boo: I have the meanest muse ever...


Flowers

The months passed quickly. Winter gave way to spring, and Kratos found that they had to rest more often, as the swell in Anna's belly grew. They didn't talk about it, other than that first day when she told him. They didn't know how to talk about it. They made the necessary adjustments as time went by silently. When they needed to rest more, they rested more. When Anna started to need help sitting down and standing up, he helped her.

"I love spring." Anna said one day as they stopped to rest at the edge of a wide field of wild flowers. "Flowers and new life every where, making up for the emptiness of winter."

"Hmm." He grunted.

"It's strange to think... Here I am pregnant, and I've never even had anybody give me flowers before."

He looked down at her. She was sitting on a rock, leaning back on one hand. The other rested lightly on her swollen belly. She looked sad. He grunted again, and told himself it wasn't his problem. He didn't have to fix this or try to make her happy. He still found himself handing her a small bouquet of flowers a few minutes later. Both of them blushed, and Anna smiled. She left the bouquet on that rock when they left that day, but after that he often found her hand in his while they walked.
