It's the first time she has said it outloud, but when the words come out of her mouth she can't help the small smile on her lips. For years Allison refused to believe that she could even have a child. Not just because she didn't want to be a mother, but because of how her own existence came about. Nothing about their lives was normal. Their birth parents never planned them (or wanted them, considering what happened after). Then Reginald happened, and Allison was convinced that the Hargreeves name should stop with them.
But, then, she had gotten married and the idea of actually having a family, one that was her own, it...tugged at her heart in a way that she never expected. It still feels odd, now, to know she's carrying a new life inside of her, and there are days when she's terrified about being a godawful mother because what exactly does she have to offer? But then she remembers the ultrasounds, the way the baby's heartbeat echoes in the doctor's office every time she goes in for a check up, and she's overwhelmed with the realization that this little life is hers, and she cannot wait to meet her.
Her. It's good to know that Klaus is on her side with what the gender of the baby is.
Will he be here by the time the baby is born, or will he go home? She's still not sure, because she had been honest about not forcing him to stay and letting him go home if that's really what he wanted, but she can only hope that in six months he'll still be here to help them welcome the newest Hargreeves.
Shifting his attention back to him, she frowns slightly and shakes her head. "What? No. Why would I do that?" At the mention of Patrick's stink eye, she sighs under her breath. "...yeah, he probably will be. He just... He doesn't understand all this. I've told him about you all, but his family and his life have always been so incredibly...normal. It used to scare me, but I think we scare him more."
She shrugs slightly. "But, he knows how important you are to me so you being here isn't an issue. Besides, he travels so much for work that you'll just be keeping me - us," she corrects herself, her smile widening slightly, "company. It all works out."
