Thunder and Mrs. Thunder stared at each other. They only reacted when the balcony doors of the castle closed, leaving them alone at last.
Mrs. Thunder awoke for a moment, looked at the balcony doors and then could only lower her head. She did not feel bad about hiding her pregnancy from her husband.
After all they are at war, the subject of a pregnancy might stun and worry him. Besides it could be a weakness for her husband if the news was understood and would reach Cinder's ears, so she kept it hidden as best she could but that was over here and now.
'How did he know?' Mrs. Thunder felt a little worried, she felt that now because of her her husband was in a much worse situation than before.
Mr. Thunder came out of his daze the moment Valery closed the doors. Thunder's eyes on the other hand did not leave his wife's side, but he did start to think things over a little more slowly.
