Summary
Caduceus finishes his commune with the Wildmother with a soft prayer, and turns to walk over to them with a tender smile that Caleb knows is about to break bad news to them. Before Caduceus even reaches them, Essek has already visibly deflated upon seeing the look on Caduceus' face, and Caleb does his best to ignore the tight feeling lodged in his throat. They both already know what's coming as he stops in front of them.
But then, after a few seconds of standing there silently before them, Caduceus' expression cracks into a wide grin, the solemn look gone as he simply tells them-
"Congratulations."

Summary
"Do you want to know what I was thinking about, Mondlicht?"
Warm hands come to rest on Essek's shoulders after Caleb places the bottles of oil and the herbs on the table before Essek. Essek hums, leaning into the touch as Caleb starts to gently press his thumbs into the back of Essek's neck with calculated movements, massaging the muscles which have no doubt started to hurt after Essek had been sitting in one spot for so long. Essek's eyes flutter shut with a relieved sigh, totally lost in Caleb's tender ministrations for a blissful few seconds before he seems to shake himself out of it a little, much to Caleb's disappointment. "Hopefully you were thinking of how to complete this equation, because all I have been doing is wasting parchment trying." Essek does not sound genuinely upset, perhaps even amused by Caleb's behavior, but Caleb leans down to kiss the top of his head anyways.
"I'll get more tomorrow if we run out." Caleb reassures him, before remembering what he had been really meaning to say. "I was thinking about you, though."
Essek laughs, the sound clear and beautiful in Caleb's ears. "About me?"
"Ja. You and the baby."

Summary
Essek had been drawn by the sound of Caleb's voice and tiny laughter, both of which brought a smile to his face unconsciously as soon as he heard it, something content and warm filling him. The sight itself had been even sweeter than the sounds that had beckoned Essek there in the first place, however.

Summary
"Essek sat upright in bed, an almost wistful look in his eyes as he stared off at seemingly nothing for a few moments before-
"Do you… Do you remember that hot chocolate we had in Nicodranas last year? At the Lavish Chateau?"
Ah.
So that's what was keeping Essek awake."
[Basically, Essek starts craving something from the Chateau in the middle of the night, Caleb is determined to get Essek anything and everything he wants, and Marion JUMPS at the chance to mother Essek because she knows he needs it. Almost entirely wholesome content, but check the notes for warnings!]
