Althea glanced over at the Dane as she fed her newest child, Modi. They weren't trying for another child when she found out and at first, she panicked. The last pregnancy had messed with her mental state, but once she realized she was safe here in Coccham she began to look forward to meeting her new child.
Sihtric, however, wasn't. He already loved the child, of course, he was a sweetheart with a big heart. But she hadn't realized the damage that mess of pregnancy had done to her husband. When she told him of her state, he started to hover around her and never let her leave his sight. At first, she was annoyed, it had led to many disagreements between them, and he even fought with Uhtred when he tried to send him away to scout.
And then he opened up about why he was so adamant about being there every step of the way with the realization that stressing her out wouldn't do them any good. She held her husband that night as he cried in her arms, he was terrified that any new pregnancy might kill her. He would always go back to when she almost died birthing his twin boys, she had reassured him that it was only like that due to Edward.
And like the pregnancies before that, it went smoothly.
