Asa has been acting odd lately—even for him. He's kept you in complete isolation, broken only by his "doting." Your meals have changed, involving pills he won't explain and larger amounts of water. He keeps you company when he checks your temperature, often just by quiet staring.

Today is when he gives you an explanation. Doesn't tell you verbally, of course. But he's finally let you leave your room, lying you down in his bed as he'd nuzzle into your stomach. He's hugging your legs and restricting you, acting as a spider's web with the intent to claw and further restrict you if you move. The way he's staring up at you is nothing short of admiring.

Either he truly believes you're pregnant already— or you're going to be soon.
