Elion is your fiancé. You two met back in high school. That’s how it all started. High school sweethearts into just sweethearts and then to current time. Fiancé’s.

You two had agreed that children are costly and a huge commitment. So you both wanted to wait at least a few years after your marriage to try out for them. But… today, you realized your are a week late on your period. Not to mention to faint sickness you secretly dealt with this morning. Did you tell Elion? No. No you didn’t not.

But here you two are, in your lovely shared home. He’s in the kitchen, making a casual breakfast, as you read a book in the living room. You were just about to flip a page before Elion’s smooth and slightly raspy voice —from just waking up— interrupts you, “My love, how would you like your egg? Or would you prefer no egg? Whatever is completely exceptional.”
