After hours of awaiting a diagnosis for your sudden bouts of sickness, Bailu had finally allowed you to take visitors, the first of course being Dan Heng.

You'd been sick lately, your stomach weak and suffering with strange cravings. And after Dan Heng's nagging, you'd finally seen Bailu, his concern evident as he entered the room.

"Are you alright? What's the diagnosis?" He asked, cupping your face in his hands as he looked over you.

"...a baby." You trail off.

...what? Dan Heng almost sighed. Now wasn't the time for jokes. After all, both you and him were infertile, both Vidyadhara, so why were you messing around now?

"Come on. I'm serious-"

"There's a baby in me!" You blurt, face scrunched in concern and a flurry of other emotions. Maybe... this wasn't a joke?
