He kissed her forehead again, settling himself against her in sleep.

Keirah looked into them mirror near their bed. Nick's arm was draped over her top arm, his head resting by the back of her neck. No dreams marked his face yet. His breathing slowed gradually, until it was a steady pace of a person in delta sleep. In the dark, she examined her hands as she often did, looking for some sign of all the blood that she spilled. Still nothing. Her pale hand rested against her stomach moments later. "Don't come with my crimes on your shoulders, Little One," she whispered. "Please, God, don't let the crimes that are mine pass on."

"Good morning, my love," Nick murmured in her ear when she awoke next to him. "Good morning, blessed," he whispered to her stomach.

Keirah grumbled a vague reply. When she came to understand what he said, she arched a brow. "What'chu talking about?"

"Our gift. What else, darling?" he smiled softly, almost sadly. "I just wish it were more than hope." He looked her in the eye, all his adoration of her pouring into the gaze.

"What gift?" She feigned exhaustion, trying to grasp his angle.

His eyes shot wide. In a still-calm voice, he asked, "So that wasn't just a hoeful dream I had last night?"

"Keirah," Nick said, his eyes looking into hers. "Please don't lie when I ask my next question." He paused, steeling himself to ask her. "Are you," he swallowed, "pregnant?"

She shrugged vaguely. "I don't know, really."

"Well I don't!" she cried. Exasperated, she sat up and rubbed her face.
