So… you wanted Thayet? Here you go.

Disclaimer: Thayet, Jon, Alanna, and anyone else you recognize belongs to Tammy.

Thayet, Queen of Tortall, sat in her window seat. She was looking out at the practice courts, watching the pages and squires practice in the snow. She smiled, thinking of the child she would have in nine months, and how she would forever love it.

FLASHBACK

In the infirmary, Thayet sat on a bed while Duke Baird's hand rested on her stomach. She had been suffering awful nausea. So she went to the most trusted healer in the realm.

"Well, your Highness, it seems that you are pregnant!" Duke Baird exclaimed, a twinkle in his eye.

"Really?" Thayet asked eagerly. Duke Baird nodded. Thayet burst from her seat, and ran out of the infirmary with a whoop. But to only come rushing back in with a hand over her mouth. This drew a laugh from Baird.

BACK TO PRESENT

The door to her and King Jonathan's room burst open to reveal King Jonathan himself. He walked swiftly over to his queen and swept her up in his arms. She got kissed repeatedly and passionately.

"You're back!" Thayet exclaimed. Jon had just got back from a trip to Pirates Swoop. "I have a surprise for you," Jon raised his eyebrows in reply. Thayet took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant," she said, looking him in the eyes. Jon's face lit up and he picked her up, spinning her around. Laughing, they collapsed onto the bed.

"That's wonderful!" Jonathan exclaimed as soon as he got his breath. "We'll tell the kingdom at midwinter." Thayet nodded her agreement and leaned forward for a kiss.

(((Midwinter, two weeks later)))

The midwinter feast was over, and all the residents at the palace for midwinter (including the servants) were headed into the ballroom. Once they all arrived, King Jonathan cleared his throat and stepped up on the dais with Thayet.

"Thayet and I have wonderful news," Jonathan began, "It appears that Thayet is pregnant." As soon as the reality of it hit them, the people erupted in cheers.

"Been busy, have you Jon?" a drunk Coram called out over the noise. Jon flushed slightly as the people who heard burst into laughter.

Several "congratulations!" were called out as well. Alanna the Lioness approached the dais with a wry smile on her face. She looked at the two and her smile broadened. After about five minutes of Alanna smiling at Jon and Thayet, Jon couldn't take it anymore.

"Would you just say what you're going to say already!"

"Huh? Oh! Right. I was just going to say that you two make the perfect couple." Alanna said, well aware that the whole castle was watching her. "I mean, I knew I was right to bring her here and set you two up." Most of the castle laughed. But Thayet was a different story.

"You set us UP?" She said, her voice rising. The people who were laughing immediately stopped. Alanna nodded, but still held her ground. "You mean to tell me you brought me all the way here just so I could marry Jon?"

"No!" Alanna cried. "That was only part of it." Thayet glared. "You should be thanking me, not getting mad at me," Alanna added.

"I guess you're right," Thayet said as she sighed. She turned to Jon who, was watching this whole scene without saying a word. "And what do you think?" She asked him.

"I think that it was bloody brilliant." Jon said without hesitation. "Because otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to meet you," He added hastily after a glare from Thayet. He leaned over and gave Thayet a kiss on the check.

(((Three months later)))

Thayet sat in bed reading a book, one hand resting on her still swelling stomach. She was overwhelmed by the thought that another life was growing in her stomach. Jon came dripping into the room, his clothes soaked. Thayet looked upfrom her book and squealed. She hadn't seen him in a month. He had been visiting fiefs all across Tortall to check on the state of the crops and many other things. She didn't exactly jump out of bed; it was more of a stumbling lurch. But nonetheless she got out of bed rapidly and flung herself into the arms of her husband and kissed him passionately. She didn't care that he was sopping wet or that she was in her nightshirt. All she cared about was him. Her hands went around his neck, and his around her waist, drawing her close. But not close enough to squash the baby.

"Jon, I love you," Thayet whispered after their display of affection was over.

"I love you too."

(((Five months later)))

Thayet (A very pregnant Thayet) walked towards the infirmary, trying not to trip and going extremely slow. She was headed that way because she was sure that the baby would come any time now. Even though she still had one month left.

Duke Baird removed his hand from her stomach and said "You aren't due for another month. The baby isn't done growing yet." Thayet nodded her head and got up to leave. "Wait," Baird called.

"Yes?"

"I can tell you that the baby is a boy though. And that once you think it is time, just come straight here," Baird said gently.

"Thank you!" Thayet said as her face shed its gloomsome mask.

Once Thayet reached her rooms, she brainstormed. She had a list of about two hundred names. Some of them she made up herself. She shook her head at her own folly and started crossing out names that sounded wrong, girly, stupid, or that were too hard to pronounce. She had narrowed her list down to about fifty names when Jon came in.

"Honey, come help me with names," She called. She heard a muffled "ok" from the privy. Jon came out, and they whittled away the list down to three names. Francis, Kendrick, and Riley. From there they couldn't decide.

"Leave it for the day he is born," Jon said, stifling a yawn. Thayet sighed but complied.

(((One month later)))

At three thirty in the morning, Thayet went into labor. Jon and a sleepwalking soldier carried her into the infirmary. Three hours of hard labor later, a baby boy was born. Duke Baird handed the baby to the soldier who had stayed to help, while Jon held Thayet's hand. Thayet barley had enough energy to sit up. But somehow she found just enough to hold the baby. She cooed and kissed him, while Jon was patiently waiting for his turn. But Thayet wouldn't give him up. Jon shook his head and went to the privy. When he returned, Thayet was asleep with the baby (also asleep) in her arms. He smiled and kissed both of their foreheads.

"Did she name him?" Jon asked Duke Baird.

"Yes," He replied.

"And?" Jon prompted.

"His name is Prince Roald of Conte."

There you go. This took me FOREVER! Especially since there were constant interruptions by a certain friend of mine… (Cough Sarah cough) but anyways, review please.
