Sendak and Cressida watched Zarkon storm out of the medbay in a bad mood, he looked sad rather than angry. Elara exited the room looking pretty sad too. She watched Zarkon storm down the halls and sighed. Sendak got worried and approached his sister.

"Elara what's wrong with him? Is everything ok with you and the baby?" Cressida asked.

"We're ok right now but Ulaz said that this pregnancy is still high risk. I'm guessing Zarkon just got really worried and needed some time to himself." Elara said.

"You're only twelve weeks what kind of complications are there?" Sendak asked.

"Well Ulaz is concerned about the whole preeclampsia thing and he says when I hit 11 months I'll need a C-section rather than doing it the natural way." Elara explained, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't scared of having to have surgery.

"He cares a lot. It's obvious Elara, he's just worried about you." Sendak said.

"I know he cares, trust me I do. I'm glad that he does of course. I'm going to check on him." Elara said with a sigh. Cressida and Sendak nodded and Elara went her bedroom where she found Zarkon in a not so happy mood.

"Zarkon are you alri-"

"That child is killing you Elara." Zarkon said, cutting her off.

"W-What? What are you talking about?" Elara asked, frankly she was shocked that he'd say such a thing.

"I don't think you should go through with this pregnancy. The risks are too high." Zarkon said, turning to face her.

"Zarkon... How could you say such a thing? Their just complications, they're aren't 100% sure to get worse later on..." Elara said.

"I'm not willing to take a chance." Zarkon said.

"You're not the pregnant one. I'm willing to risk my well-being for our child to have a chance at life." Elara said seriously.

"Elara, you know how bad the risks are, you know what could happen. I am not losing you for a child that wasn't even planned!" Zarkon shouted angrily.

Suddenly Elara thought she was going insane, she saw tears well up in his eyes after he got dead silent, he hasn't cried in a long time and he was never one to cry. She's never seen him this vulnerable.

"Zarkon..." She said, genuinely feeling awful for him. She knew just how he loves her but this shocked her.

He didn't say anything and let himself cry after so long. All she could do was hug him and let him break down. He needed to get it all out.

"I'm scared too, but I would never leave you or the kids like that. It won't be easy, but Ulaz is the best medic around, he knows what to do, I'll be ok and so will the baby, you don't need to be like this. We'll be fine, we're in this together." Elara said, she was trying to help him without making herself cry, the mood swings were real.

"That's all I needed to hear, but if anything were to happen to either of you I'd never forgive myself. It would be on me for putting you in this position." Zarkon said, pulling himself back together.

"You wouldn't have to blame yourself, it takes two to conceive a baby but complications like this are never anyone's fault." Elara sighed.

"You're right, I need to relax..." Zarkon huffed.

"Yes you do. I'll be perfectly fine, so will the baby, you took amazing care of me during all of my pregnancies. I'm pretty sure this one will go on smoothly." Elara said.

"I hope so. Thank you for the pep talk you adorable space kitty." Zarkon said, giving her a hug.

"You're welcome now go get your job done, I need a nap." Elara chuckled.

Zarkon sighed and left the room to do what he had to do. Elara was relieved knowing he was ok now. She just prayed everything would go smoothly.
