⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “ i am delighted to see you as well , francesca ! ” her smile widened as she then looked down at her grinning baby boy , “ say hello to your auntie fran , my love . hello ! ” she chuckled as charles happily waved with his little hand . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀ “ sophie! it is wonderful to see ⠀ you! ” a warm smile, approaching ⠀ both her and the baby. “ and my ⠀ goodness, .. is this little charles ⠀ i see? what a darling! ”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she very nearly melts at the gesture —— looking up at her husband , smiling at him ever so softly . “ thank you , my love . it is beautiful . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ this afternoon he has been ⠀ out in the garden , just ⠀ to get some air — but ⠀ he did bring in a flower ⠀ to place in @oncemaid’s ⠀ hair upon his return . ᅠ ⠀ “ a flower for my flower . ” ᅠ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ entering the room with one-year-old charles in her arms —— lips curving into a soft smile at the sight of her sister-in-law in colour . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she nodded , her lips curving into a wider smile . “ i do believe it is real , this time . the signs are very much all there , it is not only my courses being late . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ she was quite right to put ⠀ certainty before celebration ⠀ — but still he couldn’t help ⠀ but feel tinges of joy for ⠀ the possibility . ᅠ ⠀ “ quite right but we shall hope ⠀ for only the best news . ” ᅠ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “ yes , but only once we are certain . ” the fact frightened her quite a bit . before charles , they’d had two false hopes . and they’d had another one two months ago . she didn’t want to celebrate too much before knowing for certain . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ his excitement often was ⠀ a bit hard to contain yet ⠀ he refrained from lifting her ⠀ into the air and spinning her . ᅠ ⠀ “ perhaps i should call the ⠀ physician later this week , we ⠀ can host a dinner after⠀ . ” ᅠ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she really ought to compose herself for this —— she took a deep breath , willing the tears to stop , and once she was calm enough , she managed a smile . “ i wanted to wait for the physician to confirm it , but it is indeed becoming quite ( … ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ his memory often failed him ⠀ but never in terms of ⠀ importance . her tears didn’t ⠀ come very often , after all . ᅠ ⠀ “ does this mean . . . ” ᅠ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she remembered her pregnancy with charles very well —— but she had not expected her husband to remember that specific thing . she cried harder . “ i know ! ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ he almost laughed at her ⠀ words but wondered if ⠀ that would make matters ⠀ worse — he did have sisters ⠀ after all⠀. ᅠ ⠀ “ the last time such things ⠀ upset you , i was to be a ⠀ father . . . ” ᅠ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ a wet chuckle escaped her lips as she shook her head , sniffling softly . “ it is only the tea . it is colder than usual . and it does not taste right . ” which was odd , considering that the tea was exactly the same as usual . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ an inquisitive and worrisome ⠀ look splayed on his features ⠀ as he entered the room to ⠀ dab her tears away with his ⠀ handkerchief ⠀. ᅠ ⠀ “ is everything all right , my ⠀ dear wife or shall i have to ⠀ fight someone ? ” ᅠ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ with a cheeky smile of her own , she flipped them over so that ( *she ) was on top —— straddling him and looking down at him . “ must i refresh your memory , mr. bridgerton ? ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ she was right to suggest ⠀ such things — he did ⠀ have quite the appetite . ᅠ ⠀ “ my darling — if we are ⠀ not to sleep ; whatever ⠀ shall we be spending our ⠀ time doing ? ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ᅠ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ cheeky at his best . ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ she giggled softly at his words —— fingers tangling ever so slightly in his hair . “ now that we are wed , i do intend to spend quite a lot of time in bed for certain reasons . . . ” she said . “ . . . sleeping is not one of them . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ a larger , quirkier grin ⠀ appears on his lips at ⠀ the thought of children . ᅠ ⠀ “ if you are to be with ⠀ my heir , you shall need ⠀ all the rest you can get ⠀ now. ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ᅠ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ her smile widens at that —— eyes closing at the feeling of his lips against her skin . “ i do love the sound of that , ” she says , “ but do keep in mind that , soon enough , we shall have another reason to wake before dawn . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ shifting his weight , he ⠀ moves to tickle the sides ⠀ of her face with kisses . ᅠ ⠀ “ let us make new habits ⠀ then , my dear — ones ⠀ we are sure to keep . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ᅠ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ cue the soft chuckle —— wrapping her arms around her husband’s neck as he rolls on top of her . “ well , mr. bridgerton , those habits happen to be difficult to break . ” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ᅠ ⠀ low grumbles escape his parted ⠀ lips as he rolls to pin ⠀ her to against sheets . ᅠ ⠀ “ there is no cause for ⠀ you to awake this early hour ⠀ any longer , mrs. bridgerton .” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ᅠ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
