Ches 16, 1492 – Berna’s Journal (Back to Phandelin + Baby Announcement)

Leaving the temple we ran into some orcs. The fight wasn’t great, but everyone was fine. Of course Robyn didn’t see it that way. I don’t understand why he is so hung up on me being in the back! I’m NOT a squishy! I wear plate, and wield a sword and shield. I’m less squishy than HE is. It’s just…so…fucking frustrating!

When we got back to Phandelin I thought I should talk to Sister Garaele. I was right. I’m pregnant. I don’t know what to do. Robyn is already so protective and stifling when we get into combat. How much worse will it be if he knows? Mom never said much about being pregnant with us. How long until I have the baby? Will I die before I get a chance? Maybe I can make it until the baby is born. Then at least Robyn will have someone to love when I’m gone. I feel like I am going to my own imprisonment, but I can’t NOT tell him. He would never forgive me for keeping it from him. My only hope is that I can convince him not to lock me up in a tower somewhere until the birth. Goddess please help me find the words.

Everything went ok, better actually. He is so happy! He shouted the announcement for the whole town to hear. He was loud enough I am not certain Neverwinter and Waterdeep don’t know as well. It was good to see him smile for once, a happy smile. He always looks so sad.
