With the topic of conversation returning to her impending parenthood, Ashe's hand found its way to her stomach once more. As Balthier had said, this would be a royal child, prince or princess to Dalmasca, should a return there ever come to pass. And, as such, she and Rasler had sworn to raise their child with the values their own fathers had taught them.
"I..." Ashe took a moment to mull over the mathematics of her condition. "From what I'm aware, what the physician told me, I have close to five months to wait. I am able to feel the baby move, now," she revealed, with a soft smile to herself.
She wondered whether apprehension was as natural a feeling as delight. Still a young woman of only nineteen, Ashe felt both. Having grown up in the palace, she hadn't ever known another pregnant woman, and didn't know entirely what to expect. Oh, she had ideas, but tuition didn't always reflect experience.
