Her head lowered at his compliments, cheeks warming at the assurances that she would be a great mother. It was something she naturally doubted, given all that had happened and all that she had read. Not to mention, there was always the niggling worry about Lauren and Thorin in the back of her mind. While things seemed to have quietened down now, and the people were on board with Sven and his new changes... there was still that worry, that anxiety.
"Thank you." She murmured, almost timidly as she allowed her fingers to brush over the paper of the book she held. "I don't know what's more daunting, raising the child or giving birth to it." She laughed a little, leaning her body back against the loveseat cushions, eyes raising to focus on him again. Watching as he moved to collect his coffee, her head tilted slightly in thought, making an observation she hadn't realised before. However, his next comment about naming the child, should it be a daughter, after her mother surprised her, and Carina was forced to focus on the present.
The smile on her lips grew in strength as the free hand once more came to rest over her bump. "I... I would love that. Maybe... maybe as a second name. Let the child have their first name as their own. I-- I know that probably sounds silly." She shook her head and turned it so she could look towards the window.
"Her name was Alice... I think that could be a nice middle name. S-so long as you agree. We're making these decision together now, and it's only fair you have a say in them to. I-I know you said you'd welcome it, but that was before you heard the name. You never considered what might happen if you hated it." She chuckled, returning her gaze to the back of the canvas, wondering what the outcome would be like in the end.
She brushed her hand over the bump, book now lying closed on her knee before she realised and quickly picked it back up, returning to her original position. "Sorry, I'm really not a very good subject." She apologised, sitting back up once more, "What... ideas did you have?"
