Four months.

It had actually been four months, one week and three days. She was counting them out in her head, knowing that somewhere in the coming weeks, the count down would end and she'd leave the secret just that.

For most women, the joyous run of pregnancy is a happy one. Hell, the first couple of months with May were disgustingly happy. After that run of morning sickness, that is. But, everyday after that was amazing.

However, this time was different.

In her world, it was a divine miracle she got pregnant in the first place. Though, in having a Titan God as her lifelong partner and a dear friend of the magical kind, even the impossible becomes possible. Only she was sure the blessing would be a one time deal.

She knew it was going to be a one time deal

He could see it on her face, but couldn't pull it from her mind and was ashamed that he'd attempted it. She was so dead set on keeping this from him that her thoughts were veiled. Only that bond that connected them since the ritual left her open to him, and even in that she wasn't giving.

Lowering his head, he stared at his hands for a moment, watching as May squirmed away and moved over to where he was crouched, her tiny hands laying over his before setting to work, playing with his rings. Silence was as great an equalizer as any, an affirmation that needed no words.

"I'm done being mad...finished that a while ago." he replied quietly, looking up again as he deftly gathered May into his arms with the instinctive prowess of a father in his element. "I just...I wanna know why. Why would you hide this from me?"

Her expression turned defensive and by looking away, she tried to harden herself that much more. It wasn't that she wanted to hide it from him. Not because she was ashamed, or even that this child was unwanted. And the last thing she wanted him to do was laugh at her because she was being silly over the reasons she didn't tell him

"Do you think that little of me? That I'd be pissed at something you can't control?"

The words were soft, gentle despite their cold, hard ring, as were the arms that came around her from nowhere...finally holding her after weeks of being pushed away, finally resting hands on a belly he was touching for the first time since it began to swell with the growth of their second child.

"This kids' gonna be born." he whispered in her ear, chin a warm weight on her shoulder as he held her from behind. "You're gonna get checked out, May's gonna get told, and so's the rest of the world. And later, when he or she's born? We'll get married. And no more secrets...agreed?"
