Moonspear Next time, I'll be braver

When she said his name, Charon immediately knew that something was wrong. What's wrong? he asked after she spoke his name and looked away, even though he should've guessed. When she disclosed the news, he couldn't stop a smile from moving onto his face. Pregnant... He was going to be a father again! The gravity of the situation took a moment to settle in, and it didn't fully until Speedy announced she was leaving.
