Stardust

Chapter Two – Eight Weeks along

It had been a little over a month since Yvaine and Tristan found out that they were going to become parents. It was important to them that only family members knew first, they wanted to wait a while to tell the Kingdom just to make sure that everything went well first since Yvaine was only two months along.

Yvaine had become so excited over the prospect of having a baby. It was already a surprise to learn that stars could love, but to produce something out of that love like a baby was just overwhelming to her. Yvaine sat in the newly decorated nursery that Tristan had made, she touched the baby blue quilts and smiled. Bringing them close to her chest she smelled them and hugged them tightly.

"Yvaine?" Tristan walked into the nursery holding breakfast in his hands. He set down the tray on the chest of drawers and walked up to his beautiful wife, embracing her in his arms. "I brought breakfast."

Yvaine looked towards the porridge and tea and looked apprehensive. "Can I pass?"

"Why? what's wrong?"

"It's just, if I eat it, I'll be throwing it up within an hour."

"Morning sickness?" Tristan smiled. Yvaine nodded and groaned resting her head on Tristan's shoulder. Tristan ran his fingers through her long, blonde silky hair. If Tristan thought that he and Yvaine were already close, he was mistaken, the whole pregnancy situation had already changed them into better people, they were now stronger than ever, as a true love couple and as King and Queen of Stormhold.

Yvaine sighed, "well I better take my chances, I don't want to go throughout the day with no energy, and that porridge will get cold soon," Yvaine left Tristan's arms and picked up the bowl and began spooning the contents into her mouth.

Tristan watched in awe, he couldn't believe how much he loved this woman. "I'm going to call my mother, she'll be spending today with you. I have to go into town and meet some people, I'll see you tonight though." Tristan kissed the top of her head and left the room leaving Yvaine on her own.

Yvaine finished eating her porridge but even less than ten minutes later the porridge was back in the bowl she had eaten from. Una rubbed Yvaine's back as she continued to gag in another bowl. Yvaine groaned and Una watched helplessly as her daughter-in-law was suffering from very bad morning sickness. Yvaine stopped, and wiped her mouth with a cloth that Una handed her.

"Here, this potion should help," Una passed her a blue liquid in a vile. Yvaine hated the potion, it smelt worse than anything on the Earth, but it did help with the stomach pains. Yvaine held her breath and opening the vile she knocked the liquid back in one gulp before making a face that a child would do when refusing medicine.

Una smiled at her, "feeling any better?"

"Much," Yvaine smiled and patted her abdomen, "thank you Una, for helping me with all of this, I don't know what I would do without your experience."

"Well, when I was carrying Tristan I had no one to look out for me, I'm just happy that I can be here for you Yvaine, you and Tristan."

"Tell me Una, does it get worse than this?" Yvaine asked.

Una laughed, "much worse."

Yvaine's eyes widened, "how much worse can this get?"

"Well, you still have the fainting, the peeing more frequently, the gaining of weight, the stomach cramps, and sometimes you won't be able to physically move-"

"-Ok, ok, please stop," a worried Yvaine spoke, "I never knew that pregnancy would be like this."

"Yvaine," Una reached for the girl's hand, "all of the things that you will go through in the next seven months, all the pain and torture ... it will be worth it in the end. Because at the end, you will have a beautiful baby in your arms, and you will feel such an overwhelming power of love for that baby, and all the feelings that you will feel during the pregnancy will melt away and be displaced by happiness, an overdose of happiness that is capable of killing you. And I promise you, this baby will be the best thing that has ever happened. I've already noticed how much it has changed Tristan, he cares for you so deeply and I'm so proud of the person he is, and it's all because of you."

Yvaine's eyes watered up, "Oh gosh, I think my mood swings have began to start," and then she broke down into tears in Una's arms.

Merklin - You never know, Lamia and her sisters may just turn up unexpectedly.

Princess Dragon-Heart

Verity Kindle – lol, yes, I was actually thinking about Captain Shakespeare being the Godfather to the baby. And you'll expect him to randomly turn up in some chapters.

Linnn

JEHayes

Cali – Yes, I have to agree, it is definitely a more happier ending.

superchick

lovedoves – Many thanks to my last reviewer of the chapter as I realised that the story desperately needed to be updated. And in answer to your question, I don't think that the story will be about the baby. It'll just be about Yvaine and Tristan having the baby.

Thank you to everyone who was being patient, it has been a long two month wait, and I hope this chapter was something that you expected, and not a disappointment.

Please remember it is based on the movie. If you have any questions or would like to leave me a comment, do not hesitate to review.

Next Update: March 3rd. Hope you guys can wait until then, it will be based on the third month of the pregnancy.
