NOAH
At Noah’s very core, among the other things that mingled there, he was a fixer. He wanted to take away the pain and discomfort that Cordelia felt throughout this pregnancy. While logically he knew that he couldn’t, and that all of this was necessary for the world to continue to grow, he still didn’t like it. He didn’t like the way her face twisted when one of the babies shoved their feet into her ribs, or twisted in such a way that made her legs tingle, or even pressed so hard and took up space that she could hardly eat. It was difficult for him to watch this progress and happen and not be able to do anything about it — at least, do something that could take away the pain of all of this and only leave the joy.
He worked hard (fussed, worried, bothered) to make sure that Cordelia stayed as comfortable as possible. As she leaned into him, and aired his nerves to the public of their empty house, Noah chuckled. He wrapped his arms around her and lowered his center of gravity. Bracing her against him, Noah slipped his hands under her swollen belly and gently lifted. A moment where he could hold her, and her burden, and let her rest. ”I’m okay. Just excited.” He said, though through their attuned bond it was clearly not the only feeling he felt.
But how could he express to her that he felt helpless in taking away her discomfort and pain? Pregnancy was not easy, and Noah only wanted it to be for her. If he could carry all of her burdens and leave her weightless and free, he would do so without hesitation.

Life isn't always what you think it'd be
Turn your head for one second and the tables turn
