I've written separately to Mother and Father, though I was not sure how they would take the news, so I decided to write to you directly. It would make me incredibly happy if you were to able to visit at any point, though I'm ill at the moment, so best to wait a little while.
I feel like this may come as no surprise to you, but I will share the news nevertheless because it's exciting as much as it makes me ill. Edric and I are expecting, due in July and I'm thrilled, really. It's making me violently ill, but I'm still incredibly happy. I would love if you could visit soon, I feel like I'm going stir crazy being housebound.
Though I know you already think me ridiculous for eloping, I can already one-up myself in lunacy; I'm pregnant. Best we can tell, due sometime in July and I couldn't be happier. Ill, but happy.
I miss you terribly and I hope it won't prevent you from coming to visit, which I would love you to do soon, I miss your beautiful face.
