Severus knew Harry was not entirely happy with him being so far away, he had a suspicion that Penny had something to do with the change in Harry’s attitude. He was aware that Harry called Kirby to him every night for a report on what Severus had done all day and what he had eaten and if he had slept. None of that changed the fact that Severus felt better now than he had in the last month, he was free from the watchful eye of his alpha. He could sit by the pool, or curl up with a book in bed and there was no one to tell him to eat or sleep or go for a walk and he could pretend that there was not a little person growing inside him threatening his retirement. Alone in his own home for the first time since he learned he was pregnant, Severus finally felt like himself and not just an incubator for a child.
