Five months later,

Grace was outside in for the first time in long while. She had chosen a spot under a big shady tree that was surrounded by many beautiful flowers. Somehow, the flowers in Atlantis appeared to be more beautiful than the ones found on the surface. Many of the flowers were scattered in the garden as if it was imitating a field of wild flowers.

She smiled as she smoothed her hand over her swollen belly. Even though she didn't have any powers or senses of her own, she could tell that she was carrying twins. She didn't know how. She just knew as she felt two small kicks from under her hand. Just like their father, always restless. Grace basked in the warm glow of the crystals that shone over top, closing her eyes for a while.

Even though the city was underground, the crystals above always shined beams of light just like the sun. Grace also felt her own source of warmth wrap their arms around her body, pulling her into another solid frame. "What are doing here? You know you are supposed to be in my bed," it growled, biting the lobe of her ear to prove its warning.

She kept her eyes closed, snuggling closer into his chest. "Sorry, Darius. I got restless and I wanted to walk around for bit." She opened her eyes to peer at her mate's face. "You know, just because you got me pregnant, doesn't mean that I'm going to break."

She could feel his chest rumble with laughter. "It is not only when you are carrying my child; I fear all the time that you are going to break." He pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

Grace gave him another smile as he looked into her eyes. "Well, I hope you are ready for more than that."

She felt him stiffen at her words. "What do you mean by that, Sweet Grace?"

"I mean that I'm pregnant with two of your children, Darius. Not just one."

He grew extremely silent for awhile before he tighten his grip on her small frame. "D-Darius."

She looked up to see intensity of his emotions as bent his head to rest on hers. He feathered kiss along her face; her cheeks, her eyes, and finally her lips.

"You have no earthly idea of what you have just given me," he finally side, holding closer in his embrace, placing his hand on her belly, "Thank you. Thank you." He kept repeating it, savoring the joyful feeling he was experiencing right now.

They both sat under the tree, enjoying what the fates have just given them. That is until Brand intruded on the moment. Darius did not like that at all and took out his frustrations on his poor friend until Brand told him about the upcoming battle with the nymphs. Apparently, they didn't like it when the dragons tried to take back their stolen palace.

Grace sighed as Darius helped her on to their feet. Life was about to get interesting for them. As if the babies sensed her thoughts, Grace felt them kick their approval.

Life indeed was about to get exciting.
