“It should’ve been ours.”
Keladry looked at him sharply, her expression guarded. “What?”
“I mean, mine and Margarry’s,” Owen said hastily. “She wants a baby so much—it’s hard for her, having her stepmother having a baby when we’ve been trying for years.”
He wished he hadn’t said anything when she turned her face away, her calloused hands resting protectively over the hard mound of her belly. The tension between her and Margarry had been practically tangible for several months now, since Wyldon had let it known his young wife was expecting.
“The gods will give her one when they decide,” she said simply.
Neither one of them said anything after that, but Owen knew, with a sinking, embarrassed heart, that she knew exactly what he meant when he said, It should’ve been ours.
