The whole idea doesn't settle well with me... I had a feeling you'd make me go through all of this again. Gaining one and losing the other. Getting another chance with him is something I should be thankful for but the idea of ... being with out our child isn't right! Reconsidering isn't really an option due to the circumstances.

I just — I don't want to think or talk about this right now. Do what you have to and leave me alone for a while.

[ Gaining one to lose the other...heh. Life is cruel. ]

We'll--I'll help you through it. Whatever it takes.

( she tried to smile, but it didn't work very well. just the thought about being without their child brings that emptiness back. )

I know... Then there's everyone else that will help. Just the idea of — I can't think about it right now.

[This is one of those situations where "I'm sorry" would never cut it. It would be the cruelest thing he could say at a time like this.

Like that time, all he can do is sit with her for this.]

( for a long moment she was silent before she finally looked up at him. )

Looks like becoming the teacher will have to wait for another time...

...can't teach an infant shogi anyways. They'd just try to eat the pieces.

They're a lot smarter than you're giving them credit for, but you're right. The pieces would be eaten.

Better to save it for our world, when they get to be a little bigger.

...All of this will take some getting used to. Just like before.

If it gives you any comfort... the baby is safer out of that place.

[It's a small consolation, he knows. If there's anything he had the power to do, it would be to keep her from dealing with another loss. Without that, he can do the small things.]

You might be right, but it still doesn't give me any comfort.

( she has a big heart and she's very protective of those she cares for, so not knowing what will become of her child terrifies her. )

I'm afraid anything else would be empty words.

( she knows that she needs to stop thinking on the negative. no one would leave that child parent less and there are many capable members in the village who will take care of the baby. )

Little steps. Been through this once before, I can do it again.

I know you can. It makes you one of the strongest people I know.

[A smile. He doesn't even have to force it, not really.]

Let me know if you need anything. If it's anything I can do.

Yeah, well, fuck them and whatever bastard they have clawing up their ass. It'll be okay. Watch.

With you around I'll definitely have my hands full.

Haven't you got tired of helping me out yet?

( she already knows the answer, but she can't help but worry that he's missing out on things worrying about her. )
