"I know you will love our child as much as I will," he whispers, after a long slow breath. That's just fact to him, clear and utterly certain. "No matter when. No matter what. You will be a good mother."
"I could never blame you. Because I know that. You will work as hard as anyone could to keep the baby safe. You are even now."
"If we -- if it happens. For any reason. We will both grieve, yes." He doesn't even want to contemplate the idea. But they have to; it's there, and much too possible to ignore. "No matter why or how. And I will love you no matter what happens, Katya."
"I believe in you."
Not in her infallibility. They're both human. They've known each other for eleven years; he's seen her fail and seen her at her worst, just as she's seen him.
But in her strength.
In her determination.
And in how far she'll go, what she'll do, for the people she loves.
