“We… we go to bed, and talk about this tomorrow.” Lorienna said, before kissing Blizz’s cheek and moving away from him. A slight smile was evident on her face as she started towards the stairs, seeing if he’d come or not. “I’m… going to bed.” She said, before hurrying up the steps. Once she got to her room, she hopped into the bed, not even caring to change her clothes. The tears continued to run down her cheeks, eventually falling on to her pillow as well as she tried to close her eyes. Her tail wrapped itself around her waist, her body shivering a bit from the cold, but she judt didn't want to pull the blanket over herself right now.

Blizz tried to follow after her as she left his side, but was quickly overcome with a sudden wave of disorientation, the pills he'd taken just minutes earlier still doing their best to cure all of his problems. Shaking his head a few times, Blizz silently made his way up the stairs and into Lorienna's room, gently closing the door behind him so he didn't wake Lori.

It was cold in the room, and as he made his way over to the bed, he noticed that Lori was shivering. Smiling to himself, Blizz made his way into the bed beside Lori, gently pulling the blanket over the both of them. Somehow, the news she'd just told him seemed to be the last thing he was worried about at the moment. Lori was cold, and he had to make sure she was warm, so she could sleep well.

Nuzzling closer to his love, Blizz slowly put his arm around her stomach, gently pressing his hand flat against it. It was hard to imagine that just inches away from his hand was a baby, even harder to believe that the baby was his own. But right now, the only thing he wanted to do was to be near his love. Smiling to himself, Blizz closed his eyes, letting sleep take him.

Lorienna woke up the next afternoon, the sun hitting her eyes and causing her to blink rapidly to get used to the light. Turning over, she saw that Blizz was sleeping beside her. She was pretty sure she had felt his hand on her stomach, and she laughed silently. “There is a baby in there, isn’t there?” She whispered, pressing her nose to his. It didn’t matter if he had heard her or not, it was just something she had said aloud. In order to surprise Blizz, she put her lips to his and started to kiss him, slowly at first, but she started to get into it- well, as into it as a person could while kissing someone who was completely asleep.

Though still sound asleep, Blizz returned the kiss, making small whimpering noises every now and then as his body started to awake. His sleepy eye opened every now and then, though long enough to focus on Lorienna's face for a few seconds before closing again. Eventually though, he too managed to get into the kiss, noting that it had to have been the best awakening he'd ever received.

A small yawn on Blizz's part eventually broke their kiss, his body stretching out a bit below the covers. Slowly, he opened his eye, immediately locking its gaze with Lori's. "Morning...," he managed to whisper before his eye shut once again, apparently not quite prepared to awake yet.

”Good morning.” Lorienna said, as she pulled away from Blizz and just stared at him as he kept his eyes closed. Smiling, she put her arms around him, her fingers gently brushing against his tail as she did so. “Is someone still tired?” she asked, moving closer again and nuzzling her face into his chest; there she listened to his heart beat and felt herself smiling even more. She pulled back a little, and closed her eyes as well, only to rest them, not to actually go back to sleep.

"Only a little...," he murmured, gently draping his arm around her as well. This had been the first bit of sleep he'd gotten all weekend, and after the rush of emotions he'd experienced last night, he'd been left feeling more than drained. But then, there were things that the two needed to talk about today, so it would probably be best to fully wake up now.

After a final stretch, Blizz pulled his body closer to Lori's, close enough to feel her heart beat echoing within her body. There was something else too, a smaller beat, a weaker one. "So, how's my beautiful mother this morning?" he asked, opening his eye with a smile.

“She’s tired… but not as tired as someone else.” She smiled, opening her eyes to look up at him. This was so wonderful, and knowing now that she’d be waking up to his face everyday did nothing but bring joy into her heart. For a moment, all she could do was stare into Blizz’s eyes, imagining just how beautiful their baby’s eyes would be if it had a mix of the two colors, green and blue. It was so strange, when Lorienna thought about it; she was carrying another life inside of her, one that would grow up to call her mommy and call Blizz daddy. It was so hard to believe.

“I saw this turning out completely different, Blizz. I had everything planned- first I’d get married, then I’d worry about having children. I guess… things change, maybe for the better, who knows? I guess… if things had gone like I wanted… my life would be too predictable. Are we really ready for this, though?” She asked, not entirely knowing the answer herself.

Blizz's eye trailed downward for a second, thinking over what Lori had told him. He'd never imagined his life would have taken a turn like this either...he was only twenty, and he'd just recently come out of what was basically a twelve year seclusion from the world. Something like this was the last thing he'd expected to happen, but yet...

"Lori, I honestly don't know," he whispered, looking back up into her eyes. How beautiful those eyes were...and when he though about it, their child was sure to be just as beautiful. A smile crossed his face as he continued on. "But I do know one thing. As long as I'm with you, I can make it through anything." Blizz leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to Lori's, kissing her with the same passion he'd put into his words.

Lorienna kissed him back, wrapping her arms up and around his neck now, gently toying with his ears as she let one of her hands trail upwards. She smiled into the kiss, but put in just as much passion and love as he was, closing her eyes as she did so. Eventually, they’d have to break this kiss, but it was so wonderful right now, that she wished she could stay like this forever. Reluctantly pulling away, though, she took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

“We will make it thought this, I promise. We have so much to do now... I need to keep my job so we'll have money, and...” She trailed off, thinking of the other things they'd have to do before her stomach was too big to move around much.

Blizz couldn't help but to smile as Lori played with his ears, but his ears jutted out at awkward angles when she spoke of what they'd have to do, obviously confused.

"Money?" he asked, his eyebrow raising slightly. "Well, when my parents died, Fox and I inherited their estate. He got our old house, and I got all the money they'd saved up for us." Stopping for a second, Blizz looked up at the ceiling above him, doing a few small calculations in his head. "I think it's something like two-hundred thousand or something, so it's not much, but it might help a bit." Though Blizz liked to think that he'd gotten past his naiveté, it was still woefully apparent with his last sentence.

Lorienna jumped on top of Blizz, as if she were tackling him, as she laughed hysterically. “Not much? Are you kidding me, Blizz?!” Lorienna then remembered about the money her sister had left behind, as well as the money her parents gave her when she left home. “I… think have around… seventy-five thousand….” It wasn’t nearly as much as Blizz, but it would be enough to suffice. She looked down at him for a moment, then she hopped off of him and stood up beside the bed, stretching as she did so.

Blizz too got up from the bed, scratching behind his ears as he smiled along with Lori. Something about the way she was acting was catchy, so much so that it seemed impossible for Blizz to not be ecstatic along with her.

"I dunno, I've only ever taken out a bit of money at a time," he said as he stretched, his ears once again poking out at odd angles. "Guess I just don't need much to live off of...so, what else do we have to do?"

“I dunno.” This was all so new to her, that she didn’t know how to act. Even though she knew that the actual birth of the baby was months away, she knew that everything had to be prepared in advanced, even though they could still wait at least one more month before getting everything ready officially. Smiling, she planted a gently kiss on Blizz’s cheek and started to walk towards the window, thinking as she did so. Her ears were sticking out at strange angles, just as Blizz’s were, and she really didn’t know what else there was to do at the moment.

“I guess we just wait and…” She turned towards Blizz and shrugged, looking just as confused as he did.

Blizz's ears drooped a bit, letting his body fall back onto the bed below him. These next few months were going to be something completely different for Blizz, and even more so for Lori. He'd need to be there for Lori more than ever in these coming months, that was for certain.

"Too early to think about names, isn't it?" he asked as he propped his body up on his elbows, his tail curling about his midriff.

“I think that can wait. Right now, I think we should focus on us. We need to figure out what we need to do before I get… too big to do anything, you know?” She tilted her head to the side as she kept her eyes on him, waiting for an answer. These next few months were going to be hectic, especially with the expected mood swings from Lorienna and all the things she’d make Blizz do for her. Sighing, she crossed her arms over her chest, tail swaying from side to side behind her.
