That was not quite the answer Lucy had expected and she turned her gaze on her friend to look more closely at her face. "Is everything alright?" She asked gently, concerned for her friend, her guileless face showing every emotion on it.

"We're doing well." Lucy started, her lips pulling into a smile before a sharp pain spread across her lower back. She sucked in breathe and paused for a moment. She'd been having such pains on and off for days. Her healer had said it was nothing to worry about, that plenty of first pregnancies had false pains such as these. But the reassurances certainly hadn't taken the pain away when they did hit. Hoping to hide her discomfort from Melody, she pushed forward. "Ace is excited to meet the little one, as am I." Lucy gently ran a hand over the mound of her stomach. Excited and terrified. That was her life now.
