He exhaled a shivering laugh. He rose up from the water enough to kiss and rest his head on her stomach.
…And for a surprising moment, imagined her pregnant.
By now, they'd had the contraceptive conversation. Jyn was on an oral one, Cassian had an implant. He'd gotten it checked sometime after Bix left—stunned to find it had expired, hopefully not while they were still active [ooc: oops]—when his newly single status had started attracting… suitors. He hadn't slept with any of them, but he'd still had a full checkup and renewed the implant. So with Jyn, he knew he was safe and clean.
Which was good, because part of the conversation was establishing that neither of them wanted to have kids. Jyn, quite firmly. So why was he suddenly imagining…
Because the fleeting fantasy wasn't about the reality of bringing a child into any world or what he'd be like as a parent. It was about this drive having purpose and power, something so primal and deep. He was glad there was no realistic chance of it, but perhaps it made sense that the image rose from his unthinking body.
For now, he rested his head on and breathed with her.
