"No, you haven't upset me at all. And- thank you, truly. I'm excited for the baby. And a bit scared, to be honest, but everything will work out as it should." Abby smoothed down her dress before reaching for the tray, picking it up and taking a moment to balance its contents.
"I think I have it, thank you. It isn't so very much. Besides-" her smile turned almost playful as she started toward the dining room- "it won't be long before I'll need help simply moving about the inn."
Abby carefully set the tray down on the table before sliding into a seat, sighing happily to be off her feet for a few minutes. "I only recently found out- the day Thomas and Bridget went missing. And I didn't want to say anything until they returned and I was far enough along that the risk of losing the baby was significantly lessened."
