Fae stopped in midair with her eyes closed. A moment later a stream of faint light appeared, and Fae started to follow it.
One-On-One anyone? (CLOSED)
"Do you really know where we're going?" Farron asked, raising an eyebrow and trying not to look down.
"Yes. I'm going to an Athenian doctor. You're just tagging along."
“Well if I’m just tagging along just drop me somewhere and I’ll make my way home.”
"No, I think you might want to come with me on this. While you're tagging along, this actually involves you."
“What…wait? Backtrack this involves me? How? Why?”
"I don't think you'll like the answer…." Fae said.
Farron frowned, “Fae this involves me, you can’t just leave me in the dark about this…”
"I'm……." Fae trailed off. She waited a few moments to compose herself. "Pregnant."
(ok so this came to me last night and i have a way to explain it
also it involves her having a flat stomach
just don't question it too much)
(Okay, I won’t)
“Wait what? Pregnant? You are… pregnant?” Farron blinked a few times.
"Um…yeah. I know I don't look it, but elves get pregnant in a different way to humans." Fae stopped moving and made a tree appear at the height they were so that they could sit down.
Farron sat and rested his head against the trunk of the tree, “Right… yeah… you’re gonna be… I’m gonna be… we’re gonna be… wow… I never thought this would happen…”
"The reason I have to get to Athenia so quickly is because I'm due in a few days."
Farron’s eyes widened, “A few days?! And you’re only telling me now! When did you first know?”
"3 months ago," Fae replied. "Like I said, elven pregnancies are really different to human ones. And they're really hard to explain."
“You’ve known for three fucking months and you didn’t tell me?!” Farron shook his head a little, “Explain Faelynn. Now.”
"I didn't know if you wanted a child. I knew I did - it would be a new family - and I knew that if I had a child with anyone it would have to be you," Fae explained. "But I'm scared, Farron. I'm scared for them. I have all this magic inside of me and I don't know what they'll get! You control darkness but it doesn't affect you. Every elf that has been able to control darkness has been corrupted and I don't even know if I have that inside of me! Navaeh was the same as me and you know what happened to her! I'm scared okay! I didn't tell you because I'm scared!"
Farron shuffled closer and wrapped Fae in his arms, “You don’t have to be scared, Fae,” He said gently, “I never thought of having a child. I always thought I’d be alone for the rest of my life before I met you, but now… now I have you and our child and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you both safe and protected. If our child has the same power as I do… I’ll do what I can to make sure they don’t end up corrupted. I swear to you. I’ll be there for you and out child no matter what happens.”
Fae wiped away the tears that had appeared. She placed a hand on her stomach and winced in pain for a second. "We need to get to Athenia quickly." She scouted the area, and saw a river nearby.
Farron nodded, “Yeah, yeah that’s a good idea. I can jump us the rest of the way.”
Fae wrapped her arm around Farron's waist.
Farron made sure Fae was safe in his arms before winnowing. He stopped twice on the way their destination before they finally arrived.
Fae dived into the water after telling Farron to hold his breath. She grabbed a bubble of air from just above the water's surface and then placed it over Farron's head. Making a current in the water to see the way to Athenia, she started swimming.
Farron kept pace with Fae, glancing down at her abdomen occasionally to make sure everything was okay with her. He hoped nothing bad would happen.
As they kept swimming, the waters started changing from a slightly murky blue to pristine clear. This was a sign that they were in Athenia.
Farron had never been to Athenia before and was already looking at it in awe. Just the water was beautiful.
Fae looked above the surface quickly, only showing her eyes and forehead. Her currently blue hair blended in almost perfectly with the water. When it was all clear, she got out.
Farron followed shortly after, ringing out his shirt of some of the water on the process.
Fae looked around to get her bearings, ignoring the water dripping off her. When she figured out where they were, she collected the water off both her and Farron and dumped it back into the river.
“Thanks…” Farron muttered, running a hand through his hair, “So, where are we?”
