Avril gave her husband a sigh as she stood. She didn't want to choose between her family and... well, her family. Warwick might not have been her first choice of a husband (he honestly wouldn't have made the list, if she were being honest) but she was stuck with him. She was trying to make the best of the situation her aunt had thrown her into, and that meant keeping the peace between herself and Warwick, as best she could. She was going to be a mother, and she knew for a fact that four of five months from now wouldn't make her feel anymore prepared for that particular role.

She hoped her siblings understood that she didn't want to leave them on such a note but... she really didn't have much of a choice. Maybe she'd go talk with them later, when things had cooled down a bit.
