*Malefica was sitting in a rocking chair after finishing her domestic work for the morning. Her back was aching and she felt pale, and not very well. She was freezing and wrapped her shawl better around her shoulders.*

*Icarus walked silently into the room, setting down a bottle on the table next to her and collecting a blanket. He wrapped it gently around her shoulders.*

*He stared at her hand on his for a long moment before speaking, his voice distant.*
"It will help with the pain."
*He stared a bit longer, as if trying to work something out in his mind. Then he answered softly.*
"I should go."

*She smiled warmly to him, her eyes filled with love for him.*
"Do you have much to do today? I need to know how long I have to prepare your dinner for you. I was planning on making you something special."

*He shrugged, his gaze falling past hers.*
"It doesn't matter. I will eat when beckoned. And work until then."
*He turned and started towards the door.*

*Malefica looked after him, worried. She had never seen him like this.*
"Icarus, is something wrong? I hope I haven't done anything to harm you?"

*Icarus shrugged again.*
"It doesn't matter. I don't matter."
*Without looking back, he gestured towards her belly.*
"What was done was done for the greater good."

"I won't hear you talk like that." *She looked up at him, lovingly.* "You mean everything to me. Don't you know how much I love you?"

*He stared at her as if he couldn't understand her and yet she was saying the simplest of things.*
"Of course I know. How could I forget?"

*She hugged him and stroke his hair gently.*
"Then don't say that you don't matter. Because you do. Both you, Eden and our baby. You are my whole world."

*Malefica gave him a loving hug.*
"I know that you are doing fine. You are the most intelligent person I've ever met. And I know that you want to go back to your work now. I am going to knit some clothes for the baby."
*She kissed him and went back to her rocking chair and wrapped herself into the blanket again before she started her knitting.*
