Meadowlark Prairie the lady of the house

When he saw the shape moving his way he froze. It took a bit of mental fortitude to keep Reyes from bolting but he knew it would only be one of two people: Phox, ready to finish what had begun back at the Caldera, or Towhee. He was glad to see it was Towhee; but there came a flare up of concern as well, seeing how round she was. How far along. Then she looked at him and they shared a moment — of what, he wasn't certain. 

Reyes didn't know what to say. Neither did she, apparently. They stood in awkward tandem a moment longer before Reyes cleared his throat and tested the waters by saying: You look... good. Well, mostly good. Stressed more like it. How could he fix this? He opened his mouth to say something else (along the lines of, should you be out here right now? Think of the children!) however, considering how his concern had worked out with Niamh, he just closed his mouth instead.
