[It takes him some time to process what she just said. She can’t mean- a child? He’s left bewildered, having the thought of children not cross his mind in a while. Of course it was an inevitability, but he thought it would have been longer until they would have children. Honestly deep down he was afraid Alm would beat him to the punch, like he’s done before.
His mouth hangs open and wide and he doesn’t say a word. But that shocked face morphs into a grin. And then? He laughs, only laughs.]
[She, too, had been struck speechless when the doctor had delivered the news. But upon hearing that laughter, her nervousness fades, and she thinks about how silly she had been to be nervous in the first place. All there's room for now is joy. Her smile widens as she recalls familiar words.]
[He’s able to get it out of his system before too long. Now that the news is slowly settling in. Him, a father now. He couldn’t believe it and yet it happened and now he feels full of pride and pleased at the turn of events.]
Absolutely! Oh Rinea, we should tell everyone soon enough. Let the world know that they’re about to bear witness to our amazing children.
[He smiles, reaching out to touch her stomach gently. He feels around for any sort of swelling, not knowing it was likely too early.]
So it was my child who was causing your sickness then wasn’t it?
[She has yet to show, of course. Be that as it may, she welcomes his touch. They both know that there's life beneath his hand.]
Yes.
[After hearing the good doctor's diagnosis, a bit of nausea doesn't seem so troubling anymore. In spite of her private nature, she also doesn't mind the idea of spreading the news if it'll bring a similar joy to her lord husband.]
I wanted you to be the first to know. If you desire to tell the others, I would be happy to accompany you.
[Berkut offers a kiss of delight on her forehead. Of course she would tell him first and he’s all the more pleased to tell everyone about them becoming parents.]
Then come with me, Rinea, let’s tell King Alm and Queen Celica first.
[He lifts his hand off, reaching for one of her hands to grasp and hold as they were to make their way back into the castle.]
[She almost echoes him. King Alm and Queen Celica? True, their meeting with Berkut just adjourned, but they must have matters of importance to attend to . . . The furrow in Rinea's brow deepens as she's led back inside.
What a terrible thing to think. Their child is no less important.]
Such high praise . . .
[She, however, has a seedling of doubt as to how well she'll perform. She has never carried a child before, after all, much less raised one. Still, she finds comfort in the knowledge that Berkut will be there at her side. The both of them have much to learn.]

You shall make for a stunning mother, I know it.
