Autumnal equinox, a clear, crisp night. Even in the city, up here on the roof, they could see stars--faint, but there.

Kesshare always took him up here when she had something important to say.

He knew better than to take her hand, or seek closeness, or ask straight-out what she wanted. Instead, he waited, delving back into his memories--how they'd met, her proposal, their wedding…

"We will have a child soon," she said, calm, cool, crisp.

Ineku let out a breath. He hadn't expected this so soon, and he worried--he loved her deeply, more than deeply, but he was more than aware of her...deficiencies.

"When?"

"Seven months."

He nodded. Time enough to get used to the idea, to prepare. And he would love their baby, even if Kesshare couldn't.

He smiled slightly, and watched the sky. He almost took her hand.

Oh, I like the... the contentment in this. Like, Ineku knows what's going on, and loves her, and is content all the same. Nicely done.
