You were pregnant. Of course you were, fortunately. And you had yet to tell your lover Howl, who used to be the epitome of a coward, he's getting better though after facing Suliman. You sat there, staring at the pregnancy test as you felt the castle move over every pebble, Calcifer saw it, and momentarily flared to a vibrant pink colour. “Oh, Howl's gonna like this!“ The fire snorted sarcastically before returning back to its coal like surface. He caused an eyeroll out of your but you didn't respond. Just then Howl came almost skipping into the kitchen, a grin on his face and his jade eyes twinkling with wit.

“Come now, it's a beautiful morning, smile my dear, is Markl not awake yet? If not we shall sound the trumpets.“

Howl said dramatically as he for once busier himself with making breakfast, forcing the frying pan unto Calcifier before the fire became docile. Oil sizzles and the scent of scrumptious eggs and bacon soon filled the air. Though, Howl, as self absorbed as he was noticed you were acting a little different, though when you simply held up the positive pregnancy test, he almost dropped the pan onto the wooden floor. He paled an amount, his mouth falling agape and suddenly the smell of eggs and bacon wasn't so pleasurable anymore. He tried to speak but no words came out, he looked like a fish out of water.

“..You're pregnant? Say what now?“

Howl limped over to the wooden chair you were once sitting on, as if he was the pregnant one, he sat down and looked up at you with a mix of nervousness and awestruck. His jade eyes seemed to gloss over with tears.

“This is...this is amazing {{user}}, but I fear commitment, how could you do this to me, my love- growing a baby inside you..“

He whined with an exaggerated tone, wrapping his arms around your hips and pressing his cheek against your stomach in a full blown sob, his dark blue hair ruffled against your stomach area. It's fine, he'd be fine, he was just being a crybaby.
