"Bergy, how long has it been since your last moon cycle?"

"What a question!  Why? Wait--" Brighid stopped cold, thinking furiously. She'd been so busy lately she had lost track. Her lips moved silently as she counted back days, weeks...

Her face paled and she sat down suddenly in the chair behind her. "Annie," she said in a weak whisper. I've missed. It's been at least two moons."

Anneken grinned. "Well, you'll need to tell Lee he's going to be a father.  Right away."

"But, I can't do this right now!  Not now!  Oh gods!"

Anneken rolled her eyes. "You don't have a choice.  Besides, you'll be done with this before you even start to show.  You're strong.  It shouldn't even slow you down.  I'll make up some potions to strengthen your blood and stop the morning sickness."

"Morning sickness!"

"Yes, that will be next."

Brighid wailed.

Anneken unbarred the door and shoved her out. "Go take Lee to the room and tell him the good news."
