Caden
Estella had never felt so many things at once.

Anger that led into depression that led into a desire for hope that gave her some sort of faith which made her happy that then just turned around and made her realize she'd messed everything up, and around and around her circle of emotions went. Estella clung to the extra pillow on the hospital bed, her face having been pressed into it since the healers had left. She was sure nothing was wrong with her or the baby, but a panic attack was never good for anyone, so she hadn't fought Caden's insistence. It had been so long since she'd had a full blown attack, so he'd found her seated in a pile of tulle and tutus, breathing into a brown paper bag to try and regulate her breaths.

She was such a stupid mess.

Sniffling, Estella listened for Caden's movements, not having said much since she'd been calmed down. She felt terribly guilty for her last comments to him, but at the same time it was sort of---it felt sort of good to finally get out what she'd been feeling these past five months. He hadn't even felt the baby kick, which---well they were still light kicks, but the attempts to feel weren't really there and---maybe Dolores had done something right.

"Ugh," she let out at the thought, but also because the inside of her stomach had been jabbed quite hard in the side. Estella frowned and pushed her hand against the spot, "Not so hard," she muttered.

Estella's mouth dropped open, and she looked down at her belly before looking back up at Caden with a shrug, mostly because she didn't know what to say. Well--she knew that it didn't really hurt (it was more annoying than anything), but it was the fact that he had asked and it seemed like he wanted to know. He wanted to know about something that had to do with the baby? That was---she felt her chest swell with happiness (an extremely opposite feeling from a few minutes ago).

"No, it's not bad," she said, all the while reaching out for him. Estella grabbed onto Caden's wrist and pulled him closer, pressing his hand to the spot of the last kicks. Come on, little Flint, you need to perform right now.

Estella felt herself flush with pride as the baby continued to kick, and she watched Caden's face for a reaction. This was it, if she wanted to be honest with herself. This was the deal breaker, she was sure. If Caden didn't react positively, Estella didn't know how she would make it through the rest of this pregnancy. He already knew that she was upset about the secrecy, so if it continued like it had been...she had no idea where they'd end up.
