About six months had passed since Okela had gotten pregnant. She'd become quiet and withdrawn, even to Mordecai. She mostly sat in the breeding room, absentmindedly petting Elry's Eevee. Nobody could remember the last time she had said anything.

"Okela, you are not, in any way, useless. Without you, I would be lost in this world. You hold my hand and guide me through my life, making sure my decisions aren't too idiotic. You'll do the same with the children." Mordecai's voice was gentle, but he clearly believed in what he was saying.

"I love you too, Okela," he gently kissed her forehead, then wrapped his arms around her. "And I always will."

"You've nothing to be sorry for," he said gently, kissing her head.
