{{WARNINGS: Adult situations, cursing, epic angst and sadness and character death. Spoilers for "Unending." This is my headcanon interpretation of some events from that episode, based on the commentary.}}
“Daniel, I’m pregnant.”
Vala stared into the blue eyes in front of her. The words felt heavy on her tongue.
“Daniel. I’m pregnant.”
Once again, she was met with expected silence. She looked down and then back up at the mirror. Her face reflected back, emotionless, still in the silent room.
She could feel the hum of the ship around her, hear the heartbeat of the life in the hulls that surrounded and protected them all from the wolf kept at precarious bay outside the door. It was as if the years spent there had suddenly halted into a single moment; a moment that hadn’t happened yet. She was waiting, waiting for the right time to tell him. Vala just didn’t know how to yet.
Turing her back to the image in the mirror, Vala sunk onto the toilet seat and buried her face into her hands. ( She felt like she should cry, but the truth of the matter was, she really didn’t want to. )
