::A Tender Scene::

“What’s the matter?” he asked, a concerned look etched into his face. Ghent managed to relax a bit when he saw Katha’s smile had not completely faded. She silently drew his hand to her swollen belly. After a moment with his hand resting tenderly there, he felt it, a tiny thump, followed by a bigger one. A smile spread across Ghent’s face and he gathered Katha into his arms, giving her a soft lingering kiss.
