Belle, who hadn't even gotten the chance to freshen up or change out of her nightdress, was led by Rohan to meet the white witch in the drawing room. Rohan was restless, almost impatient to get this over with so he could stop worrying about Isabelle pushing Belle to do something else. He lived with a constant fear that one day Isabelle would succeed in pulling her into the land of the dead and that she would never return to him again.
Though Angel's pregnancy had kept Belle anchored to the living world, Rohan didn't believe this second child, if there was truly a child, would have that same power. If the heartbeat wasn't as strong as Angel's had been, it would mean she was carrying a fully human baby that would develop at a slower pace with no special ability to protect her. That would make everything far more dangerous, as a normal child wouldn't know how to go easy on its mother.
