I am certain that this was Jek talking to Lord Golden/Amber in Buckkeep about Althea's pregnancy. I think Brashen was worrying about her all of the time and preventing her from doing things as she wanted to. Fitz was in his room, listening to the conversation with his door slightly ajar...
...and it was for this reason, and his overhearing of this conversation, that he and Fool later fought...
Ah, yes... I found it!!! Of course it's from Fitz's perspective:
Quote:‘Althea’s pregnant?’
This ‘Amber’ took a woman’s delight in such tidings.
‘Yes,’ Jek confirmed. ‘And she’s absolutely furious about it, despite Brashen walking on air and choosing a new name for the child every other day. In fact, I think that’s half of why she’s so irritable. They were wed in the Rain Wild Traders Concourse… I wrote to you about that, didn’t I? I think it was more to placate Malta, who seemed humiliated by her sister’s cavalier attitude toward her arrangement with Brashen than for any desire on Althea’s part to be married. And now she’s with child, and puking her guts up every dawn, and spitting at Brashen whenever he gets solicitous.’
