I decided to do a happier one this time because, well I don't know why I just did. Probably to make up for how sad I am the Sarah J Maas owns Throne of Glass and all it's characters. I own nothing, but this plot line. *Sighs* Well lets go...

Prompt: Rowan messed up big time

Rowan POV

"You are dismissed." Aelin said icely, waving a hand to dismiss me. Looking down I started to make my leave, but not before I heard Aedion ask

"Are you alright Aelin?" Whipping around I immediately questioned,

"What is wrong? Are you ill?"

"It is none of your business Prince Rowan." Aelin snapped "I thought I dismissed you. I hope this disobedience and blatant disregard of rules won't continue on when I am gone. You will be relieved of your position if Aedion reports any uncourtly behavior." With that Aelin strode out of the room, going to pack, I assume. I still didn't understand why she was leaving for Alderan for six months. Aedion trailed behind her giving me sympathetic look.

The next day, Aelin was to leave. I decided that we had to, just had to talk before she left. So first thing in the morning I rushed down to try and intercept her, but found out that I had been misinformed. Aelin left last night not this morning. I nodded to the servant, and started to walk back to my chambers when Aedion stopped me.

"Wait Rowan. I am not going to pretend to be happy with you, but you should know that I won't send Aelin any bad reports. There is a reason behind this. I want to tell you, but Aelin forbade me."

"What is this reason." I growled, baring my teeth. Aedion smirked at my anger and flippantly replied,

"I can't say." Before I could rip off his head, the boy-Prince strutted away. I guess I will just have to wait six months. Sighing I meandered back to my chambers trying to prepare myself for a long wait.

Six Months Later

Aelin POV

I knew it was a risk. I should have left my twins back in Rifthold, but I just couldn't. They were so beautiful.

"Whaaahahaha" I heard a small voice cry out.

"Sh sh sh sh" I murmured, bouncing the small girl in arms. The little girl blinked open her pine green eyes and stared at me, seemingly happy to be held. As if alerted that it was cuddle time my little boy, started wailing. I handed Philippa my reins and took my little blue and gold eyed boy from her. Cradling the two, I smiled and sang a song of praise to Mala, thanking her for my two little gifts.

The next day I arrived back at the castle to a huge crowd. Everyone was screaming and calling for me. Soon a chant was picked up,

"Queen Aelin is Back! Queen Aelin is Back!" They called. I smiled, but did not raise my hand, unwilling to allow the crowds to see my precious pearls just yet. Upon entering the gate a flurry of servants rushed around me taking my backs and my mare, whom I had dismounted. I met up with Aedion and we stared at each other with tired eyes.

"As much as I think this is a mistake, I would like to see my niece or nephew." He whispered.

"Try both," I replied. I slowly shifted the twins faces away from my breast, turning them so Aedion could see. My dear cousin just stared at them, and I saw his heart melt. We stood there for a while, content to stand with our family. But, soon, too soon, I heard foot steps and before I could hide the twins Rowan came around the corner and came screeching to a halt. His mouth opened and closed as he took in the green eyed little girl. Finally he met my eyes and shuttered asking,

"Are," He gulped, "Are they mine." My eyes softened a fraction as I nodded. For three long seconds, Rowan stood there staring. Then all of a sudden he rushed forward and fell on his knees proclaiming,

"Aelin please please forgive me. I was afraid. Afraid my previous connections with Maeve would harm you. Afraid that I wasn't good enough. Afraid you wouldn't love me. I am still afraid, but if you will have me, I still want you. You and our children." At this point tears streamed freely down his face and I broke. Rowan didn't cry, but somehow he was now. I kneeled down on the floor and handed him his daughter with one arm and with the other held him. I was vaguely aware of Aedion awkwardly backing out of the room. For sometime Rowan and I sat there on the floor, hold each other and our family. Finally Rowan stirred and asked,

"What are their names?" I smiled a full smile and said,

"Nehima and Sam, after those who meant so much to me." Rowan smiled in response saying,

"Perfect, just like they are."
