“No,” she tried to fight a yawn. “It’s alright. I can stay awake with you.” Tiana nestled in closer. “Talk to me. Tell me about it…. your dreams. Maybe that will help.”
He looked to her, reluctant. It might help, sure, but at what cost? He’d worry the upcoming day away wondering if he’d given her nightmares too....

“I don’t believe you,” she teased. “But thanks.” Tiana sighed. It seemed pretty obvious that Naveen wasn’t going to get any sleep that night. She was determined to stay awake with him, lest he have another panic attack.
He smiled, sighed and wrapped his arm around her waist. It would be another day of work for them...

“I will always stay with you,” she told him, once again wrapping her arms around him. Tiana planted another kiss on his forehead and absentmindedly rubbed his neck, hoping he could get some comfort from her presence. “I wish I could do more for you,” she whispered. “I wish I could take it all away.”
“Tiana, you already...

She kissed him back and sighed of relief. This was the Naveen she knew, not that other one she had seen only a few minutes ago. She suspected it wasn’t the last time she would see that Naveen but… well, they would get through things as best they could. “Are you feeling better now?” she asked as they broke the kiss. “Do...

“No, no,” she whispered to him, holding him tighter. “Never. You don’t ever have to go back. I promise.” Tiana left more kisses along his cheek this time. “I promise, Naveen. You’re safe now. You’re here, with me… and the baby.” She took his hand and guided it to her stomach. “Everything’s going to be fine.”
He nodded, using his free hand to wipe...

All he needed was to lay against her, to see and hear and smell her, to know she was really there. But he nestled a little closer and answered, muffled by her body. “I just..I see…it’s like I’m back there.” The thought of it, the sudden shooting pain in his foot, made him cling to her almost like a child. “Don’t let me go back..”
“No, no,” she whispered to him,...

“I’m sorry..” he sniffed, eyes flitting around the dark room, trying to take it in, forcing himself not to think back to the battlefield. He breathed deeply, trying to control the shuddering lump in his throat. He wrapped his arms gently around Tiana’s waist, wishing he could stay like this all night.
Tiana furrowed her brows. “Naveen, sweetheart, you don’t have...

“Stop it, Naveen. This isn’t funny anymore,” she scolded him. Not that it was ever funny to begin with. She tried to pull her arms back from his tight grip. It was starting to hurt. Tears started to form in her eyes, not from the pain in her wrists but from worry. Somehow she managed to free herself, and she cupped...

“Naveen! Naveen, wake up!” Tiana called to him frantically. His sobbing pierced into her heart, it was all she could do to not cry herself. She shook his shoulders, desperate for him to come back to her. “It’s all a dream!” Tiana tried again.
His voice cracked and stopped short, and his shaking hands found the...

Deafening. It should have been, at least, but Naveen lay in a grim haze on a muddy battlefield. The brothers he’d known for only a few months that had felt like a lifetime were dropping around him like flies. There were flies, too—everywhere, swarming around the dying and dead, crawling from mouths and noses and onto blank, glassy eyes that bored into him. And with the sudden roar of...

“Of course!” Naveen brightened. “We could!” He’d never let on how much he had enjoyed fixing the old mill. He’d always been told he was above common physical labor, but being out in the sun, watching their vision take shape and knowing he’d been a part of it…it was fun.
“Really?!” She grinned widely at him. “You’d really do that?” Tiana was growing excited. She...

His dreamy smile fell. “There is the guest room, but it’s pretty small.” Naveen began thinking again, looking as though he were examining the house around them. “I’m not sure, how would you feel about moving?”
The guest room was pretty small, even if they changed it into a nursery. She sighed and ran her hand lovingly over her desk. “I don’t know. I’d hate to...

“She sure would!” Tiana laughed. “I can just picture her face, all lit up when we tell her the grandbaby she’s wanted for so long is named after her.” She chuckled some more and added it to the list. “These are a lot...

Tiana nodded eagerly as she added the names to their list. “I like those. What do you think about…. Evangeline?”

“Maldonian names, huh?” Naveen ran through a few in his mind. “To be honest, most of them might seem a little weird to Americans. I don’t want my son made fun of.” Still he thought. “We can call him Ahmed, after his Uncle,” he laughed a little.
“Okay,” Tiana added it to the list. She liked Maldonian names, and words for things. It was so exotic, but…. perhaps he...

Naveen pulled a chair next to hers, leaning on the desk close to her. He resisted the temptation to say Naveen Junior, and put a little thought into the matter. “Well, there’s Ray, or…hm..” he narrowed his eyes, thinking harder.

Clear across the palace? Oh dear. What was going to happen when their baby was just in the other room? Oh well. It couldn’t really...

Hmmm….. Was that supposed to be a complement? His kiss drew away all her other concerns. “Well, I’ll try not to be much of a burden. But you’d better save some of that patience for when the baby gets here. We’re both gonna need it then,...

He watched helplessly as she spoke, but when she cried he had to rush forward and hug her tightly. “Tiana, no one’s—we’re just—” he stammered, running fingers through her hair. “We just want to make things easier on you.”

“No problem.” When she finished, he pecked the top of her head and tried leading her downstairs. “Do, ah, do you need anything?” he asked gently.
“I don’t need you to take care of me, Naveen,” She said, sharper than she realized, though she willingly went back downstairs. “I’m not a baby, even if I am carrying one.”
