Straight away after Christmas Pippa had taken Fin's recommendation and gone to see Hex. He told her it was much too early to tell if she was preggers but he ran an STI panel, just to see. He told her it was a bit early to tell that, either.

Ever since, she had been peeing on sticks every few days, just waiting for her period to come. But it didn't. And it didn't. And now she was officially late. By two weeks. But every stick said negative. And so she had made arrangements with Hex once more, not wanting to go to her regular doctor because of her 'condition' as well as Akeem's. No, the NHS wasn't equipped to deal with Fae or werewolves.

And so she set a time to meet with Hex and then went to Akeem's shop to see if he'd come with her. No call, no text, she simply dropped in.

"Akeem?" she called into the book shop. "Are you in here somewhere?"

Akeem dropped his hand from her head to her waist, so that she could stay in his arms to hear the results if she preferred that, but he would also let her go if she moved away.

"Thank you," Akeem added with a nod, and a small smile for the nurse. He felt rather weak with relief, he had to admit.

"Pippa, I rather think we share the blame in this," Akeem pointed out, stroking her jawline with a thumb, a tender gesture. "And you've had it far worse than I. If anyone ought to apologise, it should be me."

"Quite," Akeem told her with a small smile, and pushed her hair back behind her ear. "Let's not be this careless ever again, shall we?"

"Anywhere you'd like," Akeem told her. As usual, all of him was in agreement: he wanted nothing but to make her happy. "Shall we find your friend to thank him again, first?"

Akeem held her coat out for her and helped her into it, not gentlemanly so much as caring. On their way back out, he looked around in case he spotted Hex, but the young man was nowhere to be seen. They found themselves outside, and he pulled out a cigarette of his own, glad to be able to ignore the hospital smells a little more easily now. "Have I ever mentioned I loathe hospitals?" he asked around the cigarette as he located his lighter in his coat pocket.

"The smells are atrocious," he explained, leaning over to light her cigarette before his own.

"Quite," Akeem agreed. "Unless your magic enhances your senses?"

"I wasn't aware of that," Akeem admitted after a beat. A lot about Fin might be public knowledge, but he'd never gone looking for it.

"You're his sister," Akeem stated gently. He did not know what having a sibling might be like first hand, but he had gathered that worrying over them was not unheard of behaviour.

"I can only imagine what that's like," Akeem admitted, reaching out to stroke his free hand down her shoulder and arm.

Akeem shifted his arm to wrap it around her shoulders. "From my not at all personal experience, aren't those things parts of most sibling relationships?"
