In July, the couple announced they were expecting their first baby together, sharing a joint Instagram post. The former Moulin Rouge! costars posed for a selfie on the beach, both cradling Yang's baby bump and sharing a kiss. The actor kept it simple in the caption, writing, "Table for 3 🤍." Tveit and Yang first sparked dating rumors when they costarred in Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! but didn’t go public with their relationship until years later, when the new dad wished her a happy birthday in May 2021.

“My favorite picture of you. My favorite smile,” he captioned a photo of Yang laughing as he kissed her on the cheek. “Happy Birthday @/erickahunter I love you!” The two then made their red carpet debut as a couple in September 2021 at the Tony Awards, where Tveit won best performance by an actor in a leading role in a musical for Moulin Rouge!. “So proud of our show…and especially proud of my man ❤️,” Yang captioned a collection of photos of her and Tveit at the event on Instagram. Tveit also gave Yang a shoutout during his speech, thanking her for her “love and support and always putting up with me.”

The next morning, Geralt woke first.  Nothing about this was unusual in any way.  Geralt always rose first; a habit that been instilled in him during his Witcher training at Kaer Morhen.  He was on his back, and Jaskier was on his stomach, hands flung out so one was draped across Geralt’s chest.

Geralt could think of worse ways to wake up; much worse ways.  He was thinking to himself he could get used to waking up this way when the sound of paper sliding under the door snapped his attention to the other side of the room.

Geralt slid gently out from underneath Jaskier’s embrace and padded softly over to the door and the envelope that was laying on the ground.  Having been burned before (literally) he knelt down to see if his medallion reacted to it.  It did not.  He picked up the envelope, smelling a faint hint of spice (cinnamon and…nutmeg?).  He turned the envelope over, and saw it was addressed to ‘The Distinguished Witcher and Illustrious Bard’.

Geralt frowned, humming.

“What’s that, love?” Jaskier asked, sleep catching his voice.  Geralt turned, a smile making a corner of his lips twitch. Jaskier had turned over, and was sitting up. Geralt tossed it to him on the bed.

“Dunno. Didn’t open it.”  Geralt sat on the edge of the bed, and watched Jaskier frown in concentration at the front of the envelope. “What?” Geralt asked, looking at his bard’s frown.

“I know this handwriting.”

Geralt’s eyebrows shot up. “Should I be concerned?” he asked with a smirk. Jaskier’s eyes looked up quickly to meet Geralt’s eyes, and Jaskier smiled.

“What?  Oh, no.  This is Freya’s handwriting.”

“The Goddess of Fertility?”

“She’s also the Goddess of Beauty.”

“Of course she is.” Geralt rolled his eyes. “Well then, what’s it say?”

“We are invited to a party.  Here in Novigrad.  Tonight.”

“We.  Received an invitation.  To a party.  Hosted by a Goddess.”
