Vira placed a hand on his arm.<br/><br/>"She is asleep. She understands you just need some time to get use to her change. She is sorry you know." Vira crawled into his lap, sitting so she could rest her head on his shoulder, her arms cradled around her stomach.<br/><br/><br/>"I never thought...i would be..a mother." She sighed, looking into his eyes.<br/><br/><br/>"You scared me today. I didn't like seeing you chained to a wall. Neither did he. Vashen...do you...do you really love me?" Her eyes were wide. She could feel the urge to cry, but she stuffed it back down.
