"If the two of you find yourself a little too busy in the mornings, perhaps try and aim for lunch time?" he suggested, amusement in his voice. "And I would think it would be okay, the effects of the pill don't tend to wear off as soon as your twenty four hours have passed. Perhaps a grace period of a day, but no more.
Deaton listened to the movement on the other end of the phone, waiting for whatever it was that was still on Derek's mind.
"Hm-" he sat down himself, reclining on his chair as he gave the words some thought. "I don't think it's a particularly common issue. With couples trying to conceive, certainly, but that would be when they find out they aren't with child. There is some writing on the matter, from what I can recall. You're very much true mates, and he is very young, newly presented, with an alpha wolf as his mate. Those are a lot of factors that could very well be making him subconsciously more aware of his body. The sadness- well, it is in his nature to want to provide a child for you. Even if the two of you are actively preventing his pregnancy, he may on some very base level believe he's letting you down, or that there might be something wrong with him. I'm sure he isn't that aware of it, you love him very well, Derek. And he is very capable of conceiving. I'm sure, too, very capable of knowing when he has."
Deaton paused, thinking for a moment longer. "I think as he gets a little older, a little more mature, and his body gets used to the pill, he'll stop feeling that way. His more rational nature will take over from his instincts. Perhaps your reassurance will help ease his sadness if he feels that way again. There is a lot of silent communication going on between you that you may not even know yourself. Reassure him, remind him you're waiting for a reason, and that he will make you beautiful, healthy children when the time is right."
