She didn't turn immediately, her gaze lingering in the quiet garden, "It feels strange… we are leaving tomorrow after everything that happened here."
He walked over and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder, "We are not leaving anything behind. We are just going home."
She closed her eyes, leaning into his warmth, feeling his steady heartbeat against her back. "Do you think… everything will truly be peaceful back there?"
His lips pressed gently against her temple. "Peace isn't given, it's made. And we will make it… together."
She smiled faintly, her hand covering his where it lay protectively over her belly, "The baby kicked earlier when you were in the shower."
"Mn?" He chuckled softly, sliding his palm under her nightgown to feel her warm skin. "My little one… already kicking this late at night."
"He's just like you," she teased gently, turning her face to nuzzle against his jaw, "Always awake working past midnight."
