“Sounds like a plan.” He smiled. “I’m off-duty at the moment so I can spend some time with you before we go.” He brought him close into a hug, pressing a kiss to his face.

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“Come in,” he called out gently. The priest was sitting on a chair, and staring out the window, though he looked up to greet Jeffory.

“Hey,” he smiled, his mask was tugged down to hang around his neck.

“I don’t know. Just go for a walk in the forest maybe. I’m sure you’re not getting much exercise in here either.” He shrugged. “If you don’t feel like it, that’s fine. But I think it would do you some good.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“You need some fresh air. Staying cooped up in here isn’t good for you or the baby.” But someone would surely see with the guards constantly prowling the halls.

“...Hm.” He thought for a moment, then looked up. “Tonight, after everyone goes to bed. Let’s go out.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“I can imagine. I’m sorry.” He frowned, turning his attention to the crack between the curtains, letting in the faintest bit of sunshine. “Have you...been outside at all in months?”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“I do too, but...” He drew a quick sigh, smiling faintly when the priest leaned against him. He leaned in as well, moving an arm around his waist. “It’ll be alright. I’m still excited.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

He ran his thumb over the top of Zane’s hand, looking down. “I can keep the baby to avoid suspicion until you’re out of the hospital. Then you could...say it was abandoned at the church perhaps.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“Then we can make up some lie that would require you to be hospitalized.” He didn’t like how much would have to be done on the spot, but he didn’t know what else to do.

If they were found out however, under no circumstances could anyone figure out who the other parent was.

“...I’m sorry you’re having to go through this.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“...That’s good.” He looked away, allowing the tense silence to form between them as he pondered his words. 

“I’m sure there will be a way for us to leave the castle without being noticed when it happens. After it’s born, I’ll take the baby so you can come back. I suppose you could lie and say you felt ill if you’re caught.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“Especially since you can’t...do it naturally either.” He could only imagine they would have to cut him open. That definitely couldn’t be done here, for multiple reasons.

“You’ve been seeing a private doctor though? Everything seems to be progressing normally?”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

That made the knight frown. “He’s become so short-tempered. I would say it’s because he doesn’t see any of his children now, but that’s also no excuse to behave the way he does.” 

He kept his voice low; you never knew who was listening. “...The time is getting closer. We’re going to need to devise a plan for what we’re going to do when it happens.”

He knocked and listened for the man's voice behind the door. After 8 months he still didn't feel comfortable just going into the priest's room without being told it was okay...even though he was the only one allowed entrance nowadays. "Zane?"

“Pretty bland. Nothing really happened.” He paused to consider what he was going to say next. “Besides your father being...himself. Don’t tell anyone I said that though,” he followed with a light chuckle.

“Hey.” He smiled back warmly and walked over, but kept a respectful distance from him. “I know I ask every time, but how are you feeling?” After a moment, he sat down in the chair opposite Zane.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it.”

[juryofnine-blog]

“Like I said, I thought I mentioned her. Her name is Abby.” He reached into his pocket and took out his phone, a moment later holding it up to show him a picture of a young girl with blonde hair.

"Hey Jeffory. We're friends now, so I thought you'd like to spend the night."

“Spend the night?” He raised an eyebrow. “Why though?”

[juryofnine-blog]

He raised an eyebrow. “…Yes, I thought I mentioned her. She’s 17.”

"Hey Jeffory. We're friends now, so I thought you'd like to spend the night."

“Spend the night?” He raised an eyebrow. “Why though?”

“Um…” He rubbed the back of his head. “Maybe 7. I’ll have to tell my daughter I’ll be out for the night.”

"Hey Jeffory. We're friends now, so I thought you'd like to spend the night."

“Spend the night?” He raised an eyebrow. “Why though?”

[juryofnine-blog]

“…I don’t regret it. But don’t make me.” He rolled his eyes. “I’ll be over later.”

"Hey Jeffory. We're friends now, so I thought you'd like to spend the night."

“Spend the night?” He raised an eyebrow. “Why though?”
