He had the good grace to look slightly embarrassed, and nodded. "Yes, do you remember that celebratory night, right after getting back from the Fane? Well, I THINK that was when it happened, and when I realized I hadn't properly sterilized myself, and checked, your body had already accepted the seed. I have been trying to work up the nerve to tell you, but..."<br/><br/>He gave her a sheepish smile, before shrugging. "There are some things that it is wiser to let the woman find out for herself, but I figured you would be horrified if I let you go into that room later to help your mother and didn't warn you before hand. And you would be rightly so."<br/><br/>He sighed, and rested his head on her shoulder, before kissing her neck. "If you wanted, I could remove the child with the spell I am going to use for Maura, and put it in one of my... growing tanks in the lab, if you don't think you are ready for a child yet. She would grow much slower, and once you were ready for her, she could be put back in, though your body would have to be treated for shock at the sudden return of a child."
