*Renn was cleaning. This was always a bad sign, but the fact that she looked cheerful and was doing dishes without being yelled at made it downright suspicious. And she was singing. Clearly something suspicious was going on.
She looked down at her growing belly without frustration, for once. She looked hopeful. And happy. Perhaps having a baby wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe it would be good to keep it. She had experience with kids, after all, and babies were pretty cute...
She continued washing and humming happily, now more confident of her decision.*

*The happy silence was disturbed by a brisk knock on the door*

*Renn went over to the door, still humming I could have danced all night, and opened it with a grin.*
"Hey you."

*He gave a little bow*
"Hello, Rennifly. How are you this day?"

*She grinned and dropped in a curtsy, more gracefully than would be expected of her.*
"Wonderful. And yourself?" *She was practically shimmering- things were looking up for once, and she let it show.*

*He embraced her warmly, mindful of her ever-growing belly*
"I feel fantastic. I have not found the other der Tod, or Death, but I am doing surprisingly well in this place."

*She returned his embrace happily, planting a kiss on his cheek.*
"You'll find 'em." *she giggled.* "Of course you're doing well here- I'm here."

"I would agree, Renn. Eternity is best spent with someone else."

*She grinned, and opened her mouth to speak, but a thought stopped her. The look on her face grew a bit more serious, but there was still an undercurrent of excitement in her voice.*
"What about two someones?"

*He lightly placed a hand on her belly*
"There can be room for two..."
*He frowned for a moment, getting the oddest sensation from Renn. No, not Renn--the baby.*
"Are you certain you are feeling well?"

*All traces of a smile left her face as she looked at him with a concerned expression.*
"What's the matter?"

"Perhaps it is nothing. There are all sorts of odd sensations moving about this Paris."
*He tried to sound as convinced as possible, but inwardly he was concerned. That sort of feeling usually presaged one thing only.*

*She nodded, still worried, but she forced a smile.*
"Of course. It is an odd city."
*She frowned.*
"There's not something wrong, is there?"

*He waved it aside*
"Oh, only the usual trouble one finds in a large city."
*He quickly changed the subject*
"Were you busy this day?"

*Renn had a feeling there was something he wasn't telling her- but she let the topic go for the moment.*
"Not very. Just getting some stuff done around the house."
