Oh no. Elias had to wonder whether heightened emotions were a side effect of pregnancy: he hadn’t paid enough attention to his sister’s pregnancies over the years, but maybe it would be worth asking Rue or Lock about that. He half-hoped that was the case, terrible as it sounded, because if it wasn’t... then Daffy just felt this awful.
And his attempted reassurance had done nothing as yet; his face creased at her apology. Fuck. He let out an unsteady exhale, a deep, honest sigh – because it was too late to lie, and pretend her reaction hadn’t affected things. How could he be happy when Daff felt like this? “Come here?” Elias tried, opening his arms helplessly to her again – as if the embrace had made any difference to her feelings a few moments ago. But he didn’t know what else to do, or what to say. Being happy about having a baby wasn’t exactly the kind of thing one could talk someone around to. Maybe all they could do was weather the way she felt? “It’s a big change. I know it is.”
