My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Maeve's brows drew together, confusion swirling in her eyes as Seren mentioned her talk with Locke, how he had seemed tense. The Madame straightened up a bit further, momentarily distracted by the flash of darkness that trailed behind her hand, making not to ask about that later. "You spoke to Locke? What did he say?" Whether it would provide any illumination to the current situation, Maeve didn't know, but if he had seemed off to Seren then perhaps it wasn't as unexplainable as she previously thought. "What do you mean by tense?" She hadn't noticed anything off with him at the party, so caught up in Paige and Seren, that it hadn't occurred to her that something might have been off then, too.
"I know, Seren. I know you can." Maeve murmured, reaching up to cup her cheeks, drawing her forward to press a kiss to her forehead before resting hers against the starchild's lightly. "I'm so glad you're here. I don't think I could do this without you." The confession was softly spoken, almost a whisper between them as she drew back enough to look at her once more, a small smile managing to tug on her lips.
If nothing else, this baby was a blessing to her and would always been seen as such. "I know. It's... It's crazy to think about and a part of me is terrified, but I'm so happy." Truthfully, Maeve would do it all over again if it meant that she was able to have this child. She would take a thousand heartbreaks just for this. She knew it in her bones.
"That's not the only thing, though. I have more to tell you."
