 "Game on,"

"Good morning Voe,"

"Good morning Dr. Wither," Voe cautiously takes a seat in the armchair that Dr. Wither has for patients

The doctor smiles "You're really showing now!"

Voe nods "Yeah, it's getting difficult to ignore at this point," she laughs as she sinks into the chair "Whoa,"

"Tell me about that, about how that makes you feel. Have you finally discussed it with your husband?"

"Yes, I did and we had a bit of a spat with each other over it,"

"Over what?"

She plays with her fingers "Well I had this whole plan to tell everyone but he pressured me to tell before I was ready,"

"And did you talk about that with him?"

"Yeah, just recently actually,"

"And what did you two discuss?"

She thinks "Mostly about whether or not I wanted an apology,"

Dr. WIther sits back "Then you didn't really address the issue did you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why were you upset that your plan was ruined?"

"Well, I guess, because I put a lot of thought into it and this was something that I was able to control which I Haven't had in a while,"

"Did you tell your husband that?"

She squints "No..."

"Then you didn't address the issue,"

She sits there, mouth shaped like an O "I suppose I didn't then,"

"You need to always address the issue otherwise he doesn't know what it is that he's apologizing for. Also, you don't know what apology you're accepting,"

Voe rolls her head around "So I should bring it up again?"

"Well everyone knows, so you might as well not bring it up again,"

"So what exactly do you think I should do?"

The doctor thinks "Have you thought of a baby shower?"

Voe's eyes light up "No!"

"You should have one to celebrate then. Maybe you can't do your pregnancy announcement, but you can celebrate yourself. Is that the real issue? That you wanted to celebrate yourself?"

"Hmm, maybe. I still feel sore about my announcement,"

"That's to be expected, but instead of fixating on things you can't change, maybe deal with the actual issue and address it. You wanted to feel celebrated. Okay, so instead of the announcement do a baby shower!"

"Okay! I can do that!" She tries to stand, but can't on her own. Dr. Wither helps her up.

Dr. Withers lets go of her arm "Also, next time just communicate to your husband, 'I want to feel celebrated', and all the the vitriol can be avoided. Married couples are supposed to be happy, not spending time ignoring one another. Okay?"

"Okay!" Voe steadies herself

The doctor looks at her phone "Wonderful, that's time! I'll see you at your next session! Your assignment is to communicate your needs to your husband. Make your thoughts known. And have a baby shower!"

"We need to have a baby shower," Voe told her husband later

Alastor looks up from his novel "I'm sorry, we need to have a baby shower?"
