Feyre POV
After walking back to the house from the gallery I decided I needed a plan on how to tell Rhys. Preferably something that didn't involve a lot of work and had food. Now that I knew I was pregnant certain things started to make sense. Not just the vomiting but not being able to sleep and strange cravings. The other day Nuala caught me in the kitchen eating some strange thing that I found in the back of the fridge.
Now at the house sitting behind my desk with a blank paper in front of me I had no idea how I was going to do this. I wrote down simple and food to try and get an idea to spark. That was when I realized I needed help. I knew Mor would be more distracting than helpful, and I couldn't tell Az or Cassian before I told Rhys, so I asked Elain to come into my office.
She had been working in the garden when I found and told her I needed to talk to her in my office. As soon as we stepped into the office she asked, "What's going? Is this about Cassian and Nesta because Az already told me"
For a little while I had totally forgotten about what Rhys had shown me this morning too distracted with all the other exciting details of my day. With my mind starting to run off track I asked Elain what she thought about Cassian and Nesta.
"I think Cassian could be really good for Nesta, he may help her find her place in the court of dreams." I had thought the same thing this morning.
Trying to get back on track I blurted out maybe a little loudly, "Elain I'm pregnant and I don't know how to tell Rhys." For a moment Elain froze clearly not registering what I was telling her, when she finally figured it out she grinned broadly and said, "I'm going to be an Aunt" after that ideas on how to tell Rhys just started flowing out of her.
After about an hour of our combined brain power we figured out how to do it and I couldn't wait till Rhys got home. I spent the rest of the day preparing.
Rhys POV
I kept on thinking about Feyre while Az was talking to me about some threat just outside of the city. I really wanted to pay attention but my mind kept on running back to wondering what her burst of excitement was earlier.
"Rhys, Rhys are you paying attention?" I snapped back into reality and apologized then Az said "Someone stole a mass reserve of faebane from Hybern and I am starting to worry that it has something to do with the rebels building up outside our borders. With the faebane they pose a much greater threat"
After the war Hybern sympathizers had started to make their presence known, it hadn't been a problem so far, but I agreed with Az if they had faebane it gave them too much power.
I told Az we should meet with Cassian and Mor tomorrow to see how they wanted to handle it, and Az said he would check with his spies that were within the rebels to see if they had any more information. That's how we ended the meeting and I just had one more thing to do before heading home.
As I headed into the shopping area I entered my favorite jewelry shop and found a piece that had a massive red ruby with smaller rubies surrounding it. It would be the perfect gift for Amren, she had been busy lately helping me watch the city while I was away dealing with the rebels and I wanted to get her a thank you gift. I know I didn't have to but I knew how much she would appreciate being recognized for her work.
I found amren in her small disaster of a kitchen trying to cook something. Since she came out of the cauldron she has expressed her hatred for food many times and based on the burnt smell in her kitchen she was still getting the hang of cooking. When she looked over at me I said, "you should hire a cook."
She frowned at that and said "I am practically a god I can figure out how to cook by myself I don't need a snooping cook to help me." I laughed at this and she gave me a nasty look. "What are you here for anyway I thought we were meeting tomorrow.?"
"I came to drop this off" I said holding out the necklace I found.
"What it couldn't wait till tomorrow"
"Well I actually wanted to talk about our meeting tomorrow, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind meeting earlier with Az, Cassian and Mor. There have been some new developments with the rebels and I want your opinion." I knew I would need her help watching the city while I figured out what to do about the rebels and I wanted to know what she thought I should do.
"Yeah that would be fine," she responded. "What exactly is this new development?"
"We think they stole the store of faebane from Hybern, and we want to know what they want so bad that they would go through all that trouble." When I told her this she had a troubled look on her face.
"Alright I will come to the meeting and think on what to do about it. You should get home though I'll see you tomorrow." I knew this meeting wouldn't take long, Amren never liked people in her home for to long, so left. I said goodbye and headed home for the evening tired and excited to see Feyre.
As soon as I walked in the door Feyre basically kicked me out telling me we were going out for dinner. I just wanted a quiet night in with her but she had dressed up beautifully to go out and I couldn't resist doing whatever it was she wanted to do. I magically changed into nicer clothes and we went out into the city.
She took me to the restaurant we went to so long ago before we left to fight. That night I had looked at her and had felt so happy because she finally seemed like she was going to be okay. "What's the occasion?" I asked her.
She just responded with a smile and she said "You'll see"
The food was delicious as always and it was nice to be out with Feyre, we got desert and she said she wanted to walk home so we walked by the water. We stopped when she heard a band playing near the water and said, "I have something to tell you". She had a brilliant grin on her face.
"And what that, Feyre darling?" I asked her. Her grin was infectious and now I found myself grinning at her. I wondered if this had to do with that burst of happiness that I felt down the bond earlier and started to get excited about whatever it was she was going to say.
"Rhys I'm pregnant," she said. I was stunned my feet rooted in place my mind started running so fast. Not only was I going to get to spend the rest of my life with this incredible female she was also giving me the gift of a child. When my feet started to work again I collided into her and buried my head in her shoulder. I kissed all over her face, when I stopped to look into her eyes she said, "Rhys say something".
I hadn't even realized that I hadn't spoken. So I said "Feyre I have no words to express how happy you've made me" after that I kissed her again and flew her home.
Feyre POV
When we got back to the house Rhys wouldn't put me down, he said I needed to get into bed and that I needed to relax after such a long day. I knew the over protectiveness was just the beginning and it was cute now but I also knew that in a few months it would become more frustrating. But for now I let him tuck me into bed with a big smile on his face.
He said we should tell everyone soon and that everyone would be at a meeting tomorrow to discuss rebels and that we could do it after that. That night he held me tight against his chest through the whole night and I couldn't stop thinking about how much we loved each other and how exciting the rest of our lives would be together.
I woke up to a delicious smell and kisses going down my neck. I thought maybe the over protective thing wouldn't be so bad after all. "Good morning Feyre darling" Rhys whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes to find a tray with a plate full of food and smiled at him.
"Rhys you didn't have to bring me breakfast I can walk down the stairs you know" I told him. Even though I really liked that he put all this effort in, but I also knew that these next eight and a half months were going to exhaust him.
"I wanted to" he said. "You need to rest more now that you're pregnant, you should take more breaks in your work day and get more sleep" If this was just the beginning I was worried about what he would be like towards the end. "You should eat quick I pushed the meeting till nine but we still don't have much time"
After that I ate quickly and changed into some comfy pants and a nice wool sweater because it had started to get cold outside. Rhys watched me carefully the whole time.
The meeting was in the house of wind, Rhys flew me up there and I was surprised to find everyone already there. They were talking quietly in the dining room and someone had brought some food that they were all eating.
I followed Rhys in and sat next to him at the table, Rhys immediately grabbed a plate and started stacking food onto it. Then he set the plate down in front of me even though I had just finished the giant breakfast he had brought me. Mor gave him a funny look clearly noticing what he had just done, and he just looked at her and grinned. I don't think anyone else noticed to focused on getting their own food.
I looked over at Amren who had a plate of food but was just pushing the food around the plate. It was always funny to see her trying to figure out food, she was very verbal about it to everyone's delight. "Who brought the food this is especially bad" Amren said.
"I thought Rhys brought it" Mor said, "It was already here when I got here this morning"
"I didn't bring it I don't remember asking Nuala or Cerridwen to make food, maybe they did and I just don't remember."
I tried the food and I knew Amren was just not used to the food because it was delicious. So I said "It tastes fine to me, here try some Rhys" he took a bite and nodded in agreement.
"Probably Nuala and Cerridwens cooking" he assured everyone. Then everyone else tried the food and they all agreed that it tasted fine. Then we all laughed looking at Amren.
All of a sudden thought I started to feel funny I thought it was just another bout of morning sickness. I excused myself from the table and when to get some fresh air to see if I could try and keep my breakfast.
I walked out onto the balcony giving Rhys a small smile to reassure him that I was fine. I could tell he wanted to make sure I was okay but was giving me space which I took gratefully. On the balcony the fresh air helped ease the nausea and I just spent a few minutes looking out at the city.
After a few minutes I heard Rhys yelling for me that's when I noticed that I couldn't feel him down the bond. Just when I was about to go and talk to him to see what was going on I was grabbed from behind, and none of my powers were working to fight against this strong winged creature. That had me from behind. He pressed something wet up against my mouth and the world started to blur around the edges. The last thing I saw was Rhys hurtling through the doors trying to use his powers but there was nothing there. He was yelling something I couldn't hear, I could tell he was about to come after me when a creature attacked him and he couldn't get away. That's when the world went black.
