Fletcher had planned this quiet, night in for a fortnight and he wasn't going to let Valkyrie fob it off any longer.
Valkyrie Cain walked through the door, and Fletcher was about to speak and then Val spoke.
"I have something to tell you" She started "We're going to be parents again"
Fletcher's mouth dropped open.
Skulduggery Pleasant walked through the Sanctuary, apparently Ghastly Bespoke wanted to see him about something.
Skulduggery pushed the door open closed it behind him and sat down on the wooden chair. Ghastly really needed to decorate his office. It reminded Skulduggery of an office an accountant would work in.
"Skulduggery...recently you've been distracted. So I've arranged for you, Valkyrie and Fletcher to go to London, for the Sanctuary Ball." said Ghastly "And if you didn't know Valkyrie's pregnant again"
"What!" yelled Skulduggery.
