Redhawk Caldera The skies are always blue

Maia said that she felt wonderful, but was just a little tired. An array of emotions flashed Eljay's face; first a content smile when she said she was wonderful, then worry as she mentioned being tired, then his eyes lighting up as Maia said that it might be pregnancy. That's wonderful news, Eljay said with a soft smile. It won't be long until I should be able to establish it for sure. It was always tough to tell in the early stages, so they'd have to be patient for now.

Maia patted the space next to her, and Eljay smiled as he settled down beside her. Thanks, I could use a little break from all the preparations. Thankfully they were settled well here into the Caldera, so preparations shouldn't take too much of a toll, but it was getting harder this year than the previous.

Once settled, Eljay let out a content sigh and he said, I can't wait to tell the kids. Of course, they needed to wait until they were sure. They'd agreed on that. Eljay couldn't help but feel excited about it, though. He already knew Hymnal would be over the moon about it, at least.
