"Well, that's a relief," Leo said. He then sighed. "Sadly, I have no idea who is the herbalist in our family. It could be anyone for all I know. If I'd ask, they'd probably get suspicious and what not. Though, if I do go back--keyword neing if--I'd know where the seal is since, as you said, I'd probably get nauseated, more so than what I will with the pregnancy perhaps. Once I know where the seal is that way, I could try and break it by rubbing my foot in the dirt in the general vicinity of said seal. Of course, that would allow the rest of you and others in as well so....it's a double-edge sword doing that.

"Honestly, Trevor would either be a) to confused to really care b) completely freak out like you said or c) be extremely curious that he won't do it until we tell him what's going on."

Leo sighed and looked at the set of stairs that led further down into the cave.

"But we'll have to play it by year--or week more likely," Leo said. "I would like to explore this cave a little more. If that's alright with you?"

Leo also wanted to ask Brayden if he'd make sure Leo would survive the birth--Damian's words were still echoing in his head--if for ust the children's sake, but he wanted to explore the cave more and wanted to push the worry to the back of his head for later. He swore to himself that he'll ask Brayden about it when the opportunity arises.
