"I understand." Dvald paused. "I've been there myself but for different reasons and different causes," she explained in a soft tone. "But I know what it does. Ranik and I were having problems so one night I said fuck it, I went and I got toasted and very nearly got myself killed. I was prepared to orphan my own children because of my own stupidity." Dvald sighed. "The first sight I saw when I woke up was his face." the Bolian sighed softly. "His eyes were swollen and bloodshot from crying and staying awake. He had asked Theris to watch our children for the evening so she had something to do rather than worry about me." Dvald explained. "Oh. Ranav looked horrible. But his face was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. When I was released. He and I went and sorted out our issues. Which resulted in three more children coming along." she then smiled.

"Sounds like you two really won," Fordring answered quietly. "I know I did," she added.

"It was all over the fact that I didn't want a second husband or a second wife. I wanted him to myself." Dvald explained. "But I didn't explain myself very well so he assumed the worst while I got stupid. Communication was what saved our relationship in the end Galiaan." Dvald smiled. "It could be that way with you and Elizabeth." she paused. "How did Tirion take matters?"

"Not well," Fordring admitted. "He was more confused than anything else. I didn't tell him why I was losing my mind so he had to make arrangements for the kids while I was busy." she let out a soft sigh. "To think. He and I were planning a third child to join the other two." she shook her head. "Tirion decided that it needed to be stuck on hold. I needed to sort myself out first."

"He didn't take it well. Did he?" Dvald asked.

"No, he didn't and rightly so too," Fordring answered. "If it had been Tyrael or Tasmin. The end result would have been the same." she let out a sigh. "He was more worried than angry though." Fordring let out a long sigh that silenced both women for a few moments. "I scared him though." she paused. "I scared the ever-living crap out of him. I don't know what's worse. The fact I nearly got myself killed or the fact that I didn't talk to him."

"Does he hold it against you?" Dvald inquired. A frown marring her lovely looks.

"No," Fordring answered. "The kids were confused and Tirion had to explain that mom got hurt and with luck, she'll be okay," she explained, She turned her attention from Dvald over to the far wall. "I have another request I need to make..." she paused before she turned her attention back to Dvald. "I'd like to do Elizabeth's prenatal examination when she comes in to have it in two days time," Fordring answered. "Kadian and I have been looking into theories as to what's bothering Elizabeth and her pregnancy. I need some time with her on the table." she paused. "I'm going to ask her and I will hopefully gain her permission to do so."

"Okay." Dvald left unsaid that this could go very poorly. "I'll leave the matter between you and her to work out." she sighed softly. "Do you think she'll go for it?"

"I'm hoping so. Because something is going on within her and Kadian and I both want to sit her down and find out exactly what." Fordring responded. "Maybe this is Kadian being overly paranoid but you know how she is when she sets her mind to something."

"I do. My little research scientist is a pain when she wants to be." Dvald answered. "But that said, she does get top marks from her various assignments and from me. She is stubborn but she's almost always onto something when she starts prying into things." she paused. "I assume that Kadian has a theory?"

"She does." Fordring nodded.

"Go on?" Dvald prodded. This wasn't like Fordring so be obstinate on details. She frowned as she regarded the other woman. "Galiaan. Out with it already."

"We think that Elizabeth might have a tumour growing inside of her. It's one of a half a dozen theories we have brewing. I need time with Beth to narrow things down." Fordring explained.

Dvald paused, this was a revelation that might go places, but then it might also go nowhere. "Alright. I'll approve of you taking the place of her regular physician. But she also needs to approve it. You can inform me via email and I'll handle matters in the morning." she paused. "Anything else?"

"No. That's it." Fordring answered with a gentle smile. "I'm going to go home and take off the uniform. Make nice with my babies and let my husband have his way with me." she suddenly grinned. "Maybe if I am a good girl. Maybe he will impregnate me."

"You could always ask someone else..." Dvald commented. "If you had to choose who would you ask.?"

"Oh, that's easy." Fordring rose to her feet. "I'd ask Kameron Solusar-Yamaguchi. Of course. I'd talk to Elizabeth too. I want them both to be okay with the fact that I want her husband to pin me up against a wall or bend me over the sofa and stick it to me." as she smiled. "Alas, he's not available so I'll settle for my husband. He's the one I married after all."
Fordring looked down at the shorter Bolian. "I'm going to leave you with that image. Have a good night Heris." and with that. Fordring took her leave.

Dvald sighed. "Me and my big mouth." she shook her head as she followed Fordring out the door. She wanted to hang ten with her own husband.
