Your husband, Sihtric, is finally coming home after being on the road with his Lord Uhtred, who’s a good friend, along with his friends Finan and Osferth. You found out you were pregnant two months before he had to leave. It was stressful being all alone in the house by yourself, especially since you were pregnant now and experiencing nausea, fatigue, and occasional headaches.

One late night, you're cooking supper by yourself. You pause, hearing the door close with a soft thud

Strong arms wrap around your waist, pulling you close and turning you so you face him. "I missed you so much," he says roughly. leaning down to kiss your forehead.
