Fendros would have openly admitted that he was nervous while Ahnasha was being examined. The episode seemed to take ages. It ended with what he had desperately did not want to hear.

[i]"Ahnasha...you're pregnant."[/i]

Meesei's words caused an what felt like an apple to well up in his chest. He just stood for a moment in silence, staring at Ahnasha's stomach. He tried to breathe, but no matter how deeply he inhaled he could not calm his heart. This wasn't supposed to happen. This kind of thing [i]doesn't[/i] happen. He had no idea what to do and it made him feel helpless. All he could think to do was slowly sit down by Ahnasha and Meesei and squeeze his fist with his other hand. His mind raced like a panicked mess in lieu of thinking. This was not something he had planned on, it was something he could have avoided.

Facing them both, he opened his mouth to speak, "I..." He took in another shaky breath, his shoulders hunched, "I suppose that's that then..." Fendros turned his face to one side, avoiding looking at them directly, "I'm... I'm sorry." He didn't really have anything else that he could think to say. For Dunmer, having children was meant to be a joyous affair, it being so rare, but this only overwhelmed Fendros. He was too young for this, for an elf. He felt as though he had completely lost control and now his fate was sealed. His expression showed a mix of sadness and overwhelmed surprise.
