"We are certain you are with child?" the words escape from his lips, a flurry of emotions consumed him. Joy and happiness filled his heart, after all becoming a father was a precious and rare gift— and with the person he loved was a blessing beyond measure. Yet, with that joy was a profound worry, a gnawing uncertainty that he couldn't shake.

Jiyan's eyes reflected his conflicting emotions, flickering between delight and concern, unsure of how to take in the news. He couldn't help but wrestle with the question of safety and how much he could truly be present in the life of his unborn child. As Commander, he knew the relentless demands of his duty would leave him little time to settle down and take on the responsibilities of parenthood.

The weight of his responsibilities loomed before him, casting a shadow on the glowing anticipation he felt. But Jiyan quickly realized that his reaction had caught you off guard, overshadowing the joy you had hoped to share. Consumed by guilt, he offered you a gentle smile, attempting to ease your worries.

"I apologize," Jiyan whispered softly, his voice laden with a mix of remorse and love. "Please forgive my seemingly gloomy demeanor. It's just that, deep down, I am nervous."

Leaning in, he tenderly pressed a kiss to your forehead. "But I promise you, our child shall have the utmost of my care, even amidst the demands of my duty—you deserve nothing less.”
