Aly paced around the room. She was really nervous that something had happened to him. She haddn't seen nor heard anything from him in over 2 weeks. She had also just found out that she was 3 weeks pregnant with his children. Twins. One girl and one boy. She was so excited with the news that she ran to her room trying to find Nawat, but only to realize that he was gone fighting off immortals.

As she walked slowly back to her room's after her midnight snack, she realized that tonight would be her 1 year aniversery of finally getting 'together'. She suddnely found herself at her door. Quietly she got out her keys and opened the door. She could tell that something was different but she didn't know what. It felt right, in a way, like something she hadn't felt in a long time that was completing her again.

As she walked into her rooms, she realized that something was different than when she left her room s 10 minuets ago. Her whole entire rooms were pitch black. She stumbbled over to her desk to light up a candel. As she crept into her room, she saw something under the covers of herbed. She quickly light up the rest of the candles in her room and saw the one person she had been dying to see for weeks.

"Nawat?" She questioned uncertianly.

"Aly, I'm so sorry I wasn't home sooner. I had been wounded badly." He said quietly, tryin to cover the longing in his voice.

Shecould see that he was sturggling to sit up.She ran over to him as fast as she could. She looked at him square in the face.

"What really happened to you?" She said with tears in her eyes afraid that something really bad had happened.

"Don't cry for me, I swaer I'm okay now. I love you Aly." He wispered into her ear and soon they were wraped up in thier own little world.

Hours later Aly woke up in her lovers arms because she felt sick again. Her morning sickness had been pretty bad lately. Then it hit her. Nawat still didnt know about her being pregnant. Quietly she untangeled herself out of Nawat's arms and ran into the bathroom. She got there just in time to make it to the toilet and to throw up everything she had eatin in the last few hours.

"Aly? Are you alright? Are you sick? You should go see a healer." Nawat said quietly while rubbing her back to try to get her breth back.

"Nawat, I've got something very important to tell you, I just found out a week ago, but really, I'm 3 weeks along. Nawat, I'm pregnant." She wispered quietly, thinking that he would leave because she hadn't told him yet, or because he didn't want children.

"Are you serious! Aly, thats wonderful!" He grabbed her up and span her around untill she almost threw up into his shoulder. "So I'm going to be a Da soon?"

"Yeah... in a little over 8 months! Mabey... mabey we should go celebrate eh?" Aly said slyly hoping that he caught her meaning.

"I wouldn't dream of anything else" he replied huskly in her ear and carried her to their bed.

As they spent the day in bed, Aly forgot that all that day she should've beengetting ready forthe next day, whenthe delegation from Tortall was comming to have peace talks.

So ya I was goin to make this a one-shot originatly, but it doesn't look like that anymore...lol so plz review, this is my first Tamora Pierce fic. Sorry if Nawat is really OOC or if Aly is. I'll try to work on that. review ppl!
