Melissa, her face etched with worry, approached Avalor looking so disorganized and uncomfortable.
Avalor who was preparing to leave his study to go meet with some important guests was surprised to see his beautiful wife looking all worked up.
"Is anything the matter?" He asked me, rushing to my side, helping me to take a seat.
"Are you okay? You really do not look okay at all." He asked again before I could even reply.
"I really have been feeling strange of late but I have just been trying not to show it." I told him, confessing, my voice barely a whisper. "A discomfort, a heaviness, one that I can nit really explain or comprehend.."
Avalor's heart pounded. He knew what this meant. He had seen this look in her eyes before, the look of a woman carrying life within her. A wave of both joy and fear washed over him.
