This visit was a joyous one all around, one that Princess had been excited for, even if she had been nervous initially. Haven had been right; Anu was happy for them. At the same time, though, her expression seemed to falter and the young Chance woman did not understand why. Anu was happy for them, so it was not related to that. The only thing that she could think of was that the older woman was nervous to tell them her own news, and she would soon understand why. The relationship that Princess had seened between the mother and son pair was a loving one, and she knew that neither one would do something to puset the other intentionally. She could not understand why Anu seemed so nervous.
Princess watched Anu's face intently, waiting to hear the news she had for Haven—no, for them. She was a part of their family now, too. When Anu finally spoke, Princess' smile widened. She knew it! Before she could express her own feelings, though, she felt Haven tense beside her. Turning a quizzacl eye to him, Princess rested her other hand on the wrist of the hand she was holding, hoping she might be able to ease some of his tension. Anu was happy about her news, so she did not think it warranted such frustration, but she did not know the situation. All that mattered was that Anu was happy, right?
"Anu, that is wonderful. Isn't it, Haven?" she asked tentatively, hoping that he would see that it was good. Anu was happy. He would be soon, too, she hoped. "When will they be here?" Princess had been able to see the bulge aroud Anu's middle, but she was not able to tell how far along she was.
