Oh gods, it'd been a long few months.
From the moment of Augusts accident, so much had changed. I'd lost my best friend, the person who brought so much light into my life, so much love and tenderness; he'd been the person I'd always been able to confide in, the person I'd always cherished. Several days after, I'd found out I was pregnant by him - a new wave of emotions had blown over me, and in truth still was in many ways. The sickness that I'd heard many women experience had left me bedridden for a few weeks, barely able to think about food of any sort let alone actually eat it. At least that was subsiding; I could enjoy a few small things now, my appetite slowly solidifying once more. And then Sabriel had passed, leaving the Trevalions broken and numb, as well as leaving the title to pass to another. I still wasn't sure how I felt about that - for now, I was forcing myself to be content, though I could feel a motherly instinct kick in already. The title belonged to the little cherub within my womb... but oh. There was little anyone could do about it til he or she was born. Idly my fingers pressed against my stomach as I made my way from my carriage and towards Cachettes, the way they usually did when I let my thoughts linger on the life within me. A soft smile upon my lips, I made my way in, my thoughts hanging more towards my son or daughter more than it was what I was actually doing.
Today, thankfully, was a good one. I'd been able to eat the eggs prepared for me, was not throwing up anymore, and was able to begin moving around once again. Still quite new to the pregnancy still, I didn't think I was showing yet; I definitely didn't feel anything, save immensely tired. That was another plague, one of many to come I was sure, but all welcome. So very welcome.
Seating myself at a table near a window, I settled myself, taking a soft breath as I waited for a waitress. Aye, today was closer to a good day. It'd been a long time since I'd felt anything close to being content... but today, so far, it was closer than I'd experienced in a long while.
