Miss Unohana. I know you must be busy right now and I apologize. However, I find myself in need of someone with your knowledge, so if it weren't too much trouble, could I stop in?
Again, I understand if you're too busy, but I thank you for your time.
[And about fifteen minutes later, Riza arrives at the clinic, trying to keep a calm face, though Unohana will probably be able to sense her uneasiness a mile off.]
[And those minutes feel so much longer than they actually are, but Riza forces herself to focus on her breathing. Nothing good can come from panicking. It won't change anything, even if this turns out to tell her what she doesn't want to hear-
...Wait. Did she?
Riza blinks and lets the information sink in. And then she sighs, relieved, and closes her eyes.]
However, you will need to do something about your stress levels. This absence of a cycle is a signal your body is sending. You need rest, and a proper diet.
You need to breathe for yourself for a little while, Hawkeye-san.
From tonight I'd like you to try and keep a regular sleep schedule and eat at fixed times. Even if you're not hungry. It is not going to be easy, but if you stick to eat for a few weeks, your body should ... evacuate some of that stress at least. I can see you again then and see if you're feeling better.

[She trails off, not sure how to go about this. But, really, honesty is the best policy, right?]
I am. It's...been a couple weeks since I missed my cycle.
[She bites her lip.]
...I just want to make sure.

... Would you like us to do this right away, then?

It only takes her a few minutes before the glow disappears.]
Well, I do not know if this is good news or not, Hawkeye-san, but you are not pregnant.

...Wait. Did she?
Riza blinks and lets the information sink in. And then she sighs, relieved, and closes her eyes.]
It...it is.

I figured as much.

Am I wrong?
[Offline]
I've been focused on taking care of other people. And then each week led to other horrible things and I haven't really gotten a moment to myself.
[That she'd allow, anyway.]
