"I just-- I guess. I-- I never really thought about it before." Carina confessed, cheeks warming at the prospect. It had been said out loud with no real thought to it, a comment made without Carina really thinking about his reaction or even what that would mean. How he would read into it. Of course there was no denying that her making such a suggestion meant that she was beginning to see things as he did: more romantic in prospect. However that didn't mean she felt entirely certain about her decisions. There were still anxieties holding her back, the guilt that still kept one foot over a line that she was preparing to cross.
"I-- was just thinking out loud. I'm still-- I'm still getting used to all of this. I don't really know--" She exhaled in a puff of cheeks, head turning to press her forehead exasperatedly against his back again. It was made even worse by his prolonged silence after his bout of surprise. Carina had no doubt that Sven had affection for her now as well as the baby, his actions and gestures and words proved that time and time again. But that didn't mean she was entirely sure as to what he wanted out of their new relationship. Whether his behaviour was meant purely in a close, platonic sort of way and that sharing a bed would be weird... or if he truly did want more.
However, the excitement in his next words were palpable. It was thick and easy to grasp hold of and understand in his tone, which only caused Carina to smile bashfully despite him being unable to see her expression. Her forehead pressed a little firmer against the spot between his shoulders and she bit at her lower lip.
I truly do love yo-
Love.
I truly do love you.
That was what Sven was about to say, wasn't it? Well he practically did, he only didn't finish off the 'you' because their child interrupted. He had practically just declared a love for her without any thought or hesitation. But surely it wasn't the kind of love a husband and wife had for one another. Sure he was eager for them to move ahead with their relationship and for them to share a bed but... but...
Carina couldn't kid herself anymore. This man had just declared that he loved her, and wanted to share a bed with her in the proper way a man and wife should.
While there was no physical reaction of shock to his reaction - Carina had ensured to keep her body still and controlled any natural flinch in reflex at the announcement - her jaw did slacken which caused her lips to part. A small, quiet breath escaped her as the words were repeated over and over again in her mind.
Yet as quick as the words had been spoken, they were forgotten again, or at least for Sven as he peered over his shoulder at her as a result of the faint kick in the back.
The young queen hastily smiled, pulling her head back from him so it was easier for him to move and for their eyes to meet. "I guess we'll see, won't we? You won't be able to continue spoiling them with those sweet treats once they're born, they can't live on fudge alone." She jested.
