[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis set Viviana down fully clothed on the bed before them, only pausing briefly to remove his boots and sword before laying down beside her.
It had been a long day, and he was as ready for a good night's sleep as she was. He smiled as his head touched the pillow.[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana slept comfortably beside her husband, but for little more than an hour. She felt an all-too-familiar queasiness in her stomach; she was gonna hurl, and it was gonna happen right now.
She leapt from the bed, and scrambled to the toilet in the master bathroom, barely making it to the toilet before she collapsed to her knees, clutched the sides of the bowl, and vomited. She remained there for a few minutes before rising to her feet, moving stiffly and slowly back to bed.
"Visignis, I just threw up," she told him as she removed her cloak, weapons and clothing, crawling beneath the covers in her bra and panties.[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana shook her head. "Thanks, smartass," she said. She then paused, contemplative.
"I haven't eaten anything in a while," she said, as much to herself as her husband. "And except for being nauseous, I don't feel sick."[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis sighed quietly. She apparently was gonna make this a thing.
"You did definitely get the worst of it from that robot," he said, rolling onto his side to face her. "I can remember taking a few beatings that got me to throw up."[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]"No, I don't think that's it," Viviana said, her eyes meeting Visignis'. "If it was the fight, I would have thrown up back on Haven."
She then glanced out the window. The sun was just barely over the horizon; she couldn't believe she was just now getting to bed this early in the morning. She just knew she was gonna sleep away most of the day.
A light went on in Viviana's head as he realized she had been sick in the morning. It could well have been
"Morning sickness," Viviana said aloud. She looked back at Visignis, excitement in her face. The more she thought about it, the more sense it made.
"Visignis...I think I'm pregnant," she told him.No sooner did she say it than she realized it was ridiculous. "No, that can't be it. You don't get morning sickness for like 6 weeks. We couldn't have conceived any earlier than 10 days ago."[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis heard Viviana suggest pregnancy, and felt a swell of nervous pride. He then listened to her logic, and it seemed sound enough. She couldn't be pregnant, and even if she was she certainly hadn't been for 6 weeks.
He then recalled his mother telling him about how he had arrived, perfectly healthy, not much more than 3 months after his conception. During Cryodivus' mentorship he had mentioned the factoid, and Cryodivus had said something about how
"Half-angel babies have shorter pregnancy terms," he uttered. He looked at Viviana. "You're one-quarter angel, I'm half angel. I was born in about a third of the time it should have taken, and my mother was fully human."[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana broke into a smile as she looked at Visignis, with what seemed like nervous optimism in her eyes. "You mean I really might be pregnant? Like, morning-sickness, 6 weeks in, knowing about it pregnant?"[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis smiled back. "It's certainly possible," he told her. He then did a little math in his head. "It would only put you a few days ahead of schedule, and since we both have angel blood that makes decent enough sense."
His smile only grew wider and happier. "I think we're gonna have a family."[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]"We're gonna have a family," Viviana repeated. "I'm gonna be a mommy," she said. "And you're gonna be a daddy," she told Visignis, kissing him.[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis kissed Viviana back, and smiled. He then kissed her once more, and removed his shirt.
"I think I just got a second wind," he said, rolling over and straddling Viviana's hips.[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]"No, no, no, no, no," Viviana told Visignis, firmly but with a hint of playfulness, as she pushed him back toward his side of the bed.
"Slow down, cowboy," she said. "I'm still about 40 percent bruise. Now I'm going to sleep, and hopefully when I wake up my eyes will be the only part of me that's purple." Viviana then rolled over, and easily slipped into the peaceful sleep that had overtakn her in the Forge.[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis uttered a single soft chuckle as Viviana pushed him, still smiling as he hit the other side of the bed.
He crawled beneath the covers, and for a moment simply stared up at the ceiling. "I'm gonna be a dad," he said to himself. The very notion filled him with a deep, calm contentment that allowed him to slip almost accidentally into restful slumber.[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]After about 10hours of sleep, Viviana's eyes flew wide open. She immediately rolled over and prodded her husband.
"Visignis," she said gently. "Wake up."[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Refreshed but slightly groggy, Visignis rolled over to face Viviana. He gave her a quick peck on the lips and smiled.
"Wow, it's good to sleep in my - our bed," he said. "I feel like a million coins." He stretched and yawned, then looked at Viviana. "Okay, I'm up," he said. "What is it?"[/glow]
