Our Baby

“Why didn’t you tell me about the baby?” Ren asked the moment the door to my bedroom closed behind us.

“I…I was just waiting for the right moment to tell you,” I said honestly.

“When did you find out?” Ren asked.

“About a month ago while we were still in the middle of war,” I confessed softly.

“You should have told me,” Ren insisted.

“But you were so busy, and you were out there fighting every day. I didn’t want to add to your burdens,” I explained.

“Regardless, you still should have told me,” Ren repeated his same opinion.

“I’m sorry, Ren. It wasn’t like I was trying to keep it from you,” I apologized sadly.

“I would have taken care of you better…” Ren muttered.

Is that why he was so mad?

“You’re so sweet, Ren,” I said before giggling.

It was probably the first time that I think I saw Ren blush. I couldn’t stop myself from giggling at the sight.

“Thank you, Rin. I can’t wait to raise our baby together,” Ren said as he hugged me close to him.
