Queen Dovasary walked about the palace with her newly arrived sister, Sarai, and her spymaster, Aly. Behind them walked Chenaol and
Ulasim. They talked idly of Sarai's son, Mequen, and his progress in learning to walk. On the hill before them came a nearly six foot tall
figure with a bow and arrows in hand. Nawat Crow walked until he stood in front of the three women, who had also stopped walking. Nawat had been
gone for two weeks. he bowed to Dove, then Sarai, then Aly. As he stood up from his final bow, Aly embraced him, not caring who saw. He lifted her
off her feet as he kissed her passionatly.
"I did not know they had such a relationship." Sarai murmered to her sister.
""oh, yes." Dove replied in an undertone, "They are married now." By this point the couple had parted. Nawat walked beside Aly, an
arm around her waist. Dove gave Aly a stern look. Aly jerked her head then jerked it at Ulasim and Chenaol. Dove gave her an exasperated look.
"What are you two doing?" Chenaol asked, laughing.
Aly and Dove replied at the same time. "Nothing." was Aly's answer as Dove said "Aly wants to tell everyone something."
Aly glared at Dove. "Well, what have you to tell us, ALy?" asked Ulasim. Aly buried her head in Nawat's chest. She had known about
this for a while but had not told her family when they had visited.
"mmm phhmmfhh" She said, face still at Nawat's heart.
"Aly, I order you to tell them in a discernable way." Dove stated regally. Aly looked down. Nawats's tan, cool fingers came under her chin and lifted her face up to look him in the eyes.
"What are you not telling me, Aly?" He sounded more worried rather than angered.
"I'm pregnant." It came out as a whisper but, given the dead silence, everyone heard it. Nawat enveloped her in a hug, followed by Chenaol,
Ulasim, and Sarai. Words of congratulations came from all of them. Dove gave Aly an 'I told you so' look.

That night at dinner, nearly everyone she knew congratulated Aly. She suspected her own spys were watching her. She glared at their table as
they smirked at her. 'yes' she thought 'They definitley spyed on me. I will get them for it later.' Her husband followed the path of her
glareand wrapped an arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"We shall have nestlings at last." he said quietly, for her ears only. She smiled up at him.
"Do you really think that we will be good parents?" She asked.
He kissed her forehead. "We will make lovely parents." They departed from the dining hall arm in arm, Aly laughing at Nawat's jokes
and stories.
