His words made a faint grin cross over her painted lips as she leaned her head toward him to rest her head on his shoulder. "You have no idea how rare a courtesy that is love. It got to the point I had to forcefully hold my tongue at the slew of old woman that thought my stomach was part of their property, else I would be arrested for manslaughter." Truthfully she was only half teasing; the assault on her personal space had been massive. Daphne was a private person, physical affection was not something she gave out often and not to many, so for such an influx of strangers to think they were at liberate to suddenly change that...she had almost lost her mind.
Lifting her head slightly to brush back her hair over both their shoulders, Daphne's own hand moved to rest next to Blaise's on her expanded flesh. "I try not to get too sentimental, I want him to be who he wants to be, and to have the freedom to be exactly that." She just didn't know if that was going to be possible in the years to come, not if the Ministry continued the path it was on.
Her reflective mood was brought out by Blaise's question and she laughed quietly. "I asked the same thing of my midwife, she informed me--while it hurt--it was near impossible for him to do any damage. My snarky reply involved telling her exactly what my organs thought about that answer." With that there was another kick and Daphne only barely flinched; she had gotten used to them mostly, though sometimes it seemed he moved and hit a particularly area that was much more sensitive.
