“You’re joking,” he breathed, wincing; but clearly she was not. In any other circumstance, he might have grinned at according to everything I’d read, because of course she had done her research; she’d probably gone through the library with a fine-tooth comb to feel prepared. But - well, Tybalt wasn’t certain either of them felt anything close to prepared yet, and besides, it was difficult to muster a smile when apparently dry heaving in the morning was just a common side effect.
(Christ, what else usually happened during a pregnancy? Tyb had been worried about how soon the baby was coming, a few days ago; suddenly now he found himself a little apprehensive of how long the pregnancy part was going to be.)
But the enormity of things he didn’t know was too vast a subject to deal with not-two-minutes out of bed in the morning, so Tyb was almost grateful for her request. “‘Course,” he said quickly, darting back to get her wand for her. Once he had, he nudged the door open tentatively to pass it to her, though did not much want to retreat and leave her alone either. He felt like that would... set a bad precedent, somehow. And he didn’t want to fail at marriage (and especially not less than twenty-four hours into it). “Can I get anything else that’ll help?”
