It was a beautiful summers day, or that's what most people thought in the mornings.

The sun was shining, the birds were twittering songs, but it just didn't click for one young lady.

She woke every morning with abdominal pains, a bad temper, a Smokey brown birds nest on her head and a full bladder.

Yes, you've guessed it, Daine Salmalin.

Daine jumped out of bed as quick as she could without breaking herself.

She ran to the bathroom, leaving her and Numair's bedroom in a huge mess. Duvets were strewn all over the floor, letting the yellow sun dance on it.

Skysong, or kitten as she is known as normally, and Zek the marmoset played in them happily.Daine emerged from the bathroom looking weary.

She looked down at her belly and smiled. It would come soon. Kitten and Zek saw her and bounded towards her. She greeted her stomach with hugs and cooing.

Daine frowned.

"Well, that's great! Forget about me! I feel so touched! Your great friends,"she said sarcastically.

Kitten and Zek finished greeting the unborn baby. Zek climbed up into her curls and snuggled against her head. Kitten hugged her leg and tried to smile at her around her sharp teeth.

"That's a nice thing to say about your friends isn't it? I'd hate to find out what you say to your husband."

Daine looked around to see an extremely tallman leaning against the door frame. His long, black was tied back in a horsetail away from his face to reveal a pair of beautiful almost black eyes frame by the most elegant eyelashes. His long nose had a tiny spot of golden sunlight on,which made him look very odd. Numair was holding what looked like a plate of some kind of stodgy mess with a spiral of gold in the centre. Translation- FOOD!

Daine ran forward to embrace her huband, teacher and carer. He gladly returned the hug, trying not to spill the porridge down her back. She kissed him gladlyand he returned it. Suddenly they jumped apart.

"Numair! She's kicking!"

"You mean He's kicking!"

"You know as well as I do that the baby is going to be a she!"

"You never know, I might not be!"

Daine took the bowl from her husband and began to eat.

"Numair! I'm the pregnant one, and I have a lot of excess rage and I will gladly use it all on kicking your butt!" she said, pointing her spoon at him.

"Yes Magelet. I'll be obedient."

"So you should be, or I may punish you right here, right now,"

"And how would you do that, Magelet?"

"Like this," Daine kissed him passionately. He returned the kiss. Daine placed the now empty bowl on a table, as they got further into the kiss. Suddenly the pair sprung apart again.

"Id better go, Magelet,"

"How come? We were having such fun!"

"A) I've got to teach the pages magic class in about 10 minutes…"

"OK, so?"

Numair Frowned. "B) I fear for my safety. He kicked me pretty hard,"

"SHE!! SHE!!!"

Numair smiled and backed away, grabbing is black robe for the lesson. "See you later Daine, and it's a He"

"SHE! SHE!"

Numair silenced her with a short goodbye kiss, but not for long. As soon as they separated Daine insisted that it was a she, yet again.

"SHE! SHE! SHE!"

"HE! HE! HE!" Numair replied as he walked down the corridor and out of sight. Daine blew a kiss down the hall then returned to her rooms. She looked at thetime: 20 minutes past 8.

"OH HORSE LORDS!!" she shouted, and quickly threw on her wildmage robe and wentas quickly as she could through her now cold porridge. Daine grabbed herteaching materials and went as fast as she could to her classroom to start theday.
