Erik stroked his hair tenderly, letting Alan enjoy this moment, because after the shock of this news, the almost panic-stricken fear he had felt a little earlier on learning that he was pregnant had finally given way to excitement, and so much the better.

She gave me some potions to take against nausea and she told me that the contractions I was feeling should fade quickly as they were due to this morning's battle where we both used up too much energy.

She told me it was a normal reaction and that our baby was safe."
