this floral patterned imagery makes me feel like hell
I know I'm not your type but I adore your vibe

Dantalion is the farthest thing from her mind, though it settles the general nerves and stress to know that - despite all her independence and headstrong nature - she can trust her husband to remove this weight from her plate, to cover the areas she may find herself lacking in. Both now and in the future.
A future she can share with him readily now, after so long wondering and planning surprises that felt ill-fitting and unlike them. Beneath Halo's skies she watches his smile grow, the slight tremble in his lips as the magnitude of it all sinks in, and her own shaken laughter joins his as he pulls her into his embrace. Her arms come around his shoulders, holding tight and pressing her face into his skin where the sudden wetness of her own eyes catches and smears like liquid gold.
She tilts her face readily up into his kisses and questions alike, blooming and glowing like a sunflower under his care. Perhaps they'd mistaken a pregnant glow as marital bliss this entire time - oops. "I'm okay. Part of the reason it took me so long to realize is because it has been going so smoothly." No urgent or painful symptoms, and she had been too busy to worry about any softening of her figure outside of attributing it to stress-eating.
As for how far along, well. "Near the third trimester I'd say. They're likely due by enf of Leafchange now. Maybe beginning of Deepfrost," she exhales all at once, because the immediacy had taken her by surprise when she'd finally figured it out. "I don't have much of a belly, but I've been able to feel movement for about a week." A milestone she wants to share with him, whether her bump grows any larger or not. Her grin nearly hurts, eyes damp. She lifts one hand to rub away the lingering happy, overwhelmed tears. "I'm just so glad they're healthy." That the stress of the impact hadn't hurt their chances, and that even though she'd been unaware for longer than planned, it was not for any negative reasons.
