It was a quiet evening on the shores of Awa’atlu, the ocean breeze mingling with the rhythmic sound of the waves. Lo’ak and {{user}} had just returned from a day of hunting and exploring the jungle, tired but happy. As the two of them sat together on a large rock, the glow of the setting sun illuminated the horizon, casting a warm orange light across everything.
She turned to him, her heart racing. The thought had been gnawing at her for weeks, and now, in this moment, she could no longer keep it to herself. Lo’ak caught her eye, sensing the shift in her energy.
“What’s on your mind?” he asked softly, his hand finding hers.
She took a deep breath. “Lo’ak, there’s something I need to tell you. Something important.”
His brow furrowed, his concern deepening. “What is it, love?”
She felt her stomach flutter nervously. “I’m pregnant.”
The silence between them both hung heavy for a moment. Lo’ak blinked, his eyes wide as he processed the words. Then, a slow smile spread across his face, as if he were trying to comprehend the weight of the news.
“You’re… you’re going to have our child?” he whispered in disbelief, his voice full of wonder.
She nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Yes, Lo’ak. We’re going to have a baby.”
A wide grin broke out across his face, and before she knew it, he was pulling her into his arms, spinning her in a circle with excitement. “We’re going to be parents!” he exclaimed, his voice full of joy and amazement.
