Hello, this is my second fanfiction and so I am not too sure about the quality of my work, but I hope you enjoy the following story, I don't own the Iron Fey series (however I do own the main character and a couple of my own add in's)

Chapter 1 - Me

~ 14 years, 11 months and 2 weeks (human years) before the present ~

As per usual the couple in bed was aroused by the on-going aggravating alarm. They both got up and started their usual activities for every morning. However, as the day wore on Meghan, who was engulfed in work that had to be done as the Iron Queen, began to be more tired than usual. Then her husband the no-longer-winter-prince-who-is-now-human walked in and said, "Meghan, you work too hard sometimes I really worry if it is affecting your health…"

Before he could continue she reassured while smiling, "I'm fine I've just had a lot of work recently, that's all."

Still unconvinced he looked at her smiling face and decided against arguing the point, besides he knew better that to argue with his queen's opinions. So, instead he walked up to her and tucked a few stray strands of her white blond hair that had fallen out of her 2 second ponytail, behind her ears. As he did so a shiver of delight zapped through her exhausted body, renewing her energy source making her smile even more.

"I have to go check on Kerrian and I have to deal with something Glitch has been paranoid about, as of lately," Ash said, his tone all most at a whisper then he left leaving her along with her work.

4 days later…..

Today, Meghan was exceedingly tired compared to the days before hand; however, despite her exhaustion she still had a profound appetite. The eating became so constant that during the day she visited the kitchen 6 times in one day. Although the food she consumed didn't seem like the odd cravings, such as pickles and yogurt, she still served up giant portions.

After demolishing an entire large tub of ice-cream she went back to her office, only to find a hansom young fey boy all the age of 3 human years. He was playing with one of the tablets while swinging around on the office chair which could spin around in a full 360 degree circle.

Meghan walked up to the small boy drawing the attention of the cold blue eyes as their gazes met. She then asked, "hey, stranger what you up to there?" with a beaming smile he answered, "Just playing."

"Okay then, but mummy has to work now so why don't you go find daddy or razor to play with you?"

He then slid off the office chair and paddled up to Meghan then exchanged an affectionate hug before he excitedly ran off toward the door. After Kerrian had left Meghan remembered that she had to get a certain book from the library, thus she started toward the library. As she pass, Glitch started chatting to her about her work progress when suddenly she felt suddenly faint and had the strange sensation that she was falling.

A day later…..

There was a distinct sound of pacing in the room of a rather impatient or worried person. She knew straight away that it was Ash pacing the length of the room, as soon as Meghan began to move Ash was by her side, his eyes filled with worry and concern.

"Meghan, are you okay? How do you feel? What happened?" Ash asked at about a million miles an hour.

Meghan stared blankly into his captivating eyes then smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me I just need more sleep, that's all."

"Glitch go the doctor to check you out and is currently talking to him, I sure they will be back soon," informed Ash.

Before she could protest any farther the door swung open. A metallic figure stepped in followed by Glitch and came to a stop at the foot of the bed.

"What is wrong will Meghan, Doc. M?" Ash asked with an anxious tone in it as if dreading a response like 'A deadly disease'.

"Okay then," Doc. M took a deep breath and said, "Do you want to know the overall result or something more specific?"

"Just tell me," Meghan said with an inward sigh preparing herself for anything life shattering.

"You are in perfect heath for your condition," he stated but was then interrupted.

"And what is my condition?" I asked trying to get to the point of this discussion.

"Okay then, you are one and a half months pregnant," he said.

The word pregnant hung in the air for several heart beats waiting to sink in. When this new information finally sunk in Meghan felt a twisting tornado suddenly pick up in her stomach that made her want to hurl.

The first to break the silence was Glitch who then said, "This may explain the large amount of time you have been spending in the kitchen looking for food."

Then Meghan's gaze met with Ash's as she said, "We're going to have another child…"

~ Back to the present ~

The light from the Iron Realms mechanical sun slowly engulfed the bedroom bouncing off the multiple polished objects redirecting the light, becoming blindingly bright to look at. The alarmed had been persistently buzzing for few minutes before I turned the pestering sound off. I was actually awake a couple of hours before the alarm, unable to sleep because of a certain recurring dream, that haunts my sleep. I turned 15, ten minutes ago although it didn't feel any different from any other day I made a goal to be completed today. My human name is Natasha Chase.
