She grabbed her wand and gently flicked it, watching as the chair on the opposite side of her bed scooted around the bed and over to where Gabriel stood. She felt like he was hovering and it was making her uneasy. "The healers say that I'm just fine, but because I'm so far into the pregnancy that they want to keep me around for a little longer than normal, just to make sure that everything's fine." Which was good, she added in her head, because our son is being a stubborn little bugger.
She let out a soft sigh. "I've been...worried, though." She closed her eyes, trying to reel in her emotions before they got out of control. "I--I think the shock to my system ended up making the baby less active and--" she paused and tried to glance over at Gabriel but found she couldn't. "I don't think I've ever been more scared in my entire life." She squeezed her eyes shut at the feeling of tears welling up. "And I know I should have told you, I know. And I was going to once you came but--" she stopped, swallowing hard. "He's moved since then and the healers haven't said that anything is out of the ordinary and--Gabriel, I'm sorry." More tears started falling from her eyes, and she moved to wipe them away as quickly as she had the previous night.
"I just...don't think sometimes."
