"I'm glad for both of them. It's so nice to know Millie has a friend, as well." She had always wished Sileas would have befriended Millie, but they had nothing in common. Millie never would have liked going on adventures with Sileas, and Sileas...well...she didn't even have a passing relationship with a sewing needle.

"They've been good for each other." Difyr said.

"Aye, they have." It would be an uphill battle, but Pinja would manage to survive.

"How is Sileas this morning?" Difyr asked.

"I only saw her briefly but she seemed all right. A bit exasperated with Yehudit, which is nothing new."

Difyr smiled. "How's her morning sickness, better?"

"I saw her before she ate and she seemed all right. She finally escaped to eat, so I don't know what's happened since," Brie admitted. "I do think that Yehudit aggravating her makes it worse, she had some trouble last night, I know."

"She has been under a lot of stress." Difyr said.

"I'm also worried about her previous injury, if there's something special she should be doing. And if she would listen to any special instructions. With everything going on, she's in protector mode."

"You had a similar injury, but your babies came out fine." Difyr said.

"But I never fancied myself a fighter, and set aside everything except caring for Shawn so I could take it easy. She's already trying to work on ways to stop the mermen. And I know she didn't know she was with child at the time, but she fought off that one that tried to take Millie." It was clear that Brie was worried about the choices Sileas would make.

"I'm sure Sileas will do what's best for the babe." Difyr said.

"She must. The alternative is not acceptable. Could you just imagine her devastation if she lost Larrigan's babe?"

"Let's be carefully optimistic." Difyr suggested.

"I am, but I also plan to have a talk with her. At least tell her to take it easy and not to overdo or anything."

"Well, it looks like there are enough expectant women to start a maternity club." Difyr said lightly.

"Some good coming from the dark," Brie agreed, not as cheerfully though. She herself should have been one of the ones expecting. She and Shawn could have been welcoming two little ones into their family.

"I'm sorry." Difyr touched Brighid's shoulder. "There might still be other children."

"That would be nice," Brie said wistfully. "But Shawn and I will make the best we can...we have this little one on the way," she said, glancing at Pinja, "And a grandchild on the way."

"Cyan is expecting too." Difyr said. "All the family she has left, her husband died trying to protect her."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Brie replied. She wasn't entirely certain if she would be able to manage had she not lost the babe but had lost Shawn. "Let us know if we can do anything for her as well."

"Everyone can use a friend." Difyr said with a shrug. "She was taken captive by the raiders, had been their prisoner for days before managing to escape. She's a survivor."

"I will look for her when I get back. I have no idea what Shawn wishes to show me," Brie said.

Difyr nodded. "Take care of yourself. I know your own losses are taking a toll on you."

"If I slow down, I'll think about it too much, and I'll fall apart," Brie admitted. "I don't want to think about any of it."
