Zavien
Soh deepened the kiss, her own infectious energy bubbling between them so that he was smiling into the force of it, like turning towards the sun. And even as the talk turned serious in the face of potential struggles, Zavien's mouth was pulled wide, a new sort of peace and certainty forming within the trust. "I promise." He doubted he would ever be unhappy - it felt like a stupid scenario to even consider - but it made him all the more willing to agree, knowing that it would probably never come to pass.
Nodding his head, Zavien continued to sway, taking in the information. He couldn't blame her for checking with the clinic, although Safrin had yet to steer him wrong. Still, the information was world-altering enough that confirmation couldn't have hurt, even now, it only became more real the more they discussed it. "Flowerbirth..." he paused, letting it sink in, feeling the rush of anxiety that faded when he said, "That feels like worlds away." It gave them plenty of time to work out details, and plenty of time for the excitement to build.
He shifted his weight again, smiling as she mentioned going to the clinic together. "As long as you're both healthy, that's all I care about." Unfamiliar with the more intricate details of pregnancy, he didn't want to think about how that could change, about how things could go wrong in the blink of an eye, so he tilted his head and asked, "But do you have a preference? Boy or girl?"

I love you with everything I am,
everything I've been,
and everything I hope to be.
everything I've been,
and everything I hope to be.
