Sophie sat on the tall stool in the old healing center, or her dorm, what Fitz was calling it. One month already passed after Sophie found out the she was pregnant with Fitz's kid. Sophie flipped through the pages of her alchemy textbook, trying her best to memorize every single key point. Linh had became a close friend of Sophie's, Sophie guessed that she was just trying to get closer to Fitz or something, but Sophie found that she wasn't even worried about that. Sophie blinked hard, her eyes hurting due to reading with the fading light.

Fitz slowly entered, hugging Sophie from behind. "Soph, how's your day?" He asked. "Fine. And I was wondering if you can help me with the tests tomorrow..." Sophie swallowed back a yawn.

"What kind of test is it, Sophie?" Fitz asked.

"Alchemy, Elvin history, and Inflicting, I guess?" Sophie replied. "Wait, I think I don't have the Inflicting test....."

"Soph, just be yourself, trust your instincts, no one is prefect." Fitz petted her head gently and Sophie couldn't help but melt in his arms.

"My instincts always lead me into trouble..." Sophie muttered.

"I'm sure you'll get a good grade after a good night's sleep, okay? By the way, it's already late." Fitz said, gently rubbing her growing stomach.

"I guess so." Sophie sighed, leaning into her future husband's chest, enjoying the way his hands massaged every sore muscle on Sophie's shoulder.

Fitz walked behind Sophie after taking a shower, he didn't want to wake her up, since she was snoring softly with her face buried in her textbooks. Fitz sighed. He picked Sophie up gently, careful not to wake her. He set her on the bed, taking her warm slippers off for her, and covered the heavy blanket over her shoulder, making sure that she won't feel cold.

Fitz closed her textbooks on the desk, stacking them up straight. He placed the clothes that Sophie needed to wear tomorrow on the stool, folded into neat squares.

He laid onto the bed, wrapping his arms around Sophie, she leaned closer to him unconsciously. Fitz gave her a peck on the forehead, hugging her tight. His hand  went down to her abdomen, gently rubbing her stomach as she touched his bare chest.

"I love you, Sophie." Fitz whispered into his girlfriend's ear as he dozed into the darkness.
