Swiftcurrent Creek Not today, not tomorrow

Arlette smiled, because this was why she liked Arric. He didn't shy away from topics to learn about and always had her in mind to do well. The water does feel nice. No weight on my back, she admitted to him.

Know that I will always tell you or be honest. Or at least I try. My belly is getting rather heavy on my back, so that is why. She wouldn't lie about the facts, but it seemed obvious that she had to carry added weight around. But she didn't want Arric to feel too bad about it. She wanted to pregnant and she knew it would be more than worth it.

She was glad for Arric being in the water with her. Now at least she didn't feel like she would float away when the current got stronger. That is true. I never know what to expect, she chuckled. She happily let herself float on the cool water.

Arric, she started then. You must know I rather enjoy being pregnant, even though I know it comes with discomfort and pain, she explained. Because... Well giving birth is never really that easy. But you must promise me that you won't feel guilty or bad about yourself. I know it is part of the process.
