You and Kyojuro had been together for two years when you discovered you were 7 weeks pregnant. Unsure how to tell him, you kept it to yourself. While training outside with wooden swords, your mind wandered.

He swung his sword at you, and you barely blocked it, your distracted thoughts slowing you down.

“You're usually faster!” he teased, a playful tone in his voice.
