Neal sighed as he looked into the bright stars. It was almost morning, the sky was turning more of a reddish color now and he knew that in a few hours he would wish he had gotten some sleep, but how could he? He had come so close to losing his best friend, his love, and he had become a father. He had agreed to doing just that, too, about three or four months earlier, in the woods with Yuki. He regretted it deeply. He had hoped to tell Kel his true feelings this very day, but Cleon had come back and Dom still loved her, his idiot cousin, and now becoming a father… He couldn't.

"Neal, it's awful early for you to be up." Came a voice from behind him. He half turned to see Alanna standing there. "Especially sense I had to practically throw you into a lake to get you to finally get up. One time I did, remember?" Neal gave a half-hearted smile as he remembered. That was the morning after he and Yuki had stayed up half the night, he had found it rather difficult to get up the next morning.

"Yes, I remember. It was a rather cold lake you threw me into, too. Who knew that such a small woman could drag a man of my size a quarter of a mile just to throw him into the only lake that ran from the snow capped mountains seven miles from camp?" Neal said, giving her a look. Alanna laughed. Neal always had his sense of humor, no matter what was wrong.

"I suppose you do, now." Said Alanna, answering his rhetorical question. Neal laughed. "But that's not what I came here for. I assume you figured that out." She continued. Neal sighed, hoping to have avoided this conversation. Alanna wasn't one for gossip, in fact, she considerably bad at it, but she usually knew something you didn't want her to, and it was never the typical gossip, it was worse, what she knew was true.

"You heard me didn't you?" Neal replied. It was more of a statement than a question. He figured it would be better not to beat around the bush. Alanna considered pretending not to know anything, but figured Neal would figure out that she already knew so she just shook her head yes. "Great!" Neal cried to no one in particular, "Lets just tell the world!"

"Not the world Nealian, just Kel." Alanna said gently. Neal looked at her pleadingly.

"I can't. It would hurt her too much. It would hurt us. Right now, she doesn't need a lover; she needs the love of friend. No matter what I want or need, she will always come first…"

The next morning, Kel sat in bed, Alanna and Yuki beside her.

"They're so beautiful, Kel." Said Alanna, holding her new born baby boy. "So, you have had all night to think it through, what are their names?" Kel looked at Alanna then to Yuki, a small smile on her lips.

"I have decided on the names. The little boy you're holding, Alanna, is Anthony. And as for the girl's, the beautiful little girl your holding, Yuki, is Allaine, or Alli for short, and the smallest baby girl, the one I'm holding, her name is Aderiane, or Addi. Do you like it?"

"Anthony, Alli, and Addi. I do like it. Very cute, they seam strangely familiar, though." Said Alanna, smiling broadly. Kel winked, assuring her that the children's name where meant to be similar to hers. Yuki smiled and nodded her approval.

There was a knock on the door, then it opened. Cleon stood in the frame for a second, then said, "If you don't mind ladies, I would really love to meet my new children, and talk to Kel." Yuki and Alanna nodded, got up, and left, leaving Kel and Cleon alone with their new children. Cleon swallowed, and sat on the edge of the bed. Kel, who was still holding Addi, sat up as best she could.

"Kel, they're really, they're our kids!" Cleon finally said, picking up Alli and handing her to Kel .Kel felt a smile on her face. She nodded with excitement.

"They really are ours." She said, almost in disbelief. Cleon picked Anthony and sat beside her. "He looks just like you." Kel observed. "He has your red hair and your big feet, too."

"But they all have your hazel eyes. And the two girls have your hair. Addi even has your smile."

"How can you tell? They can't even smile yet!" Kel said, but smiled any way. Cleon took Kel's hand in his free one.

"I'm sorry." He said sincerely. Kel looked into his eyes. Kel swallowed, what she saw in his eyes was love, but what she felt in her heart was just friendship, nothing more. She shut her eyes tight, unsuccessfully trying to keep tears from falling from her eyes.

"Cleon, I'm sorry, but…" Cleon stopped her before she could continue.

"Kel, please. Think about it. Think about the babies, think about what you are going to do. Kel, I can't live with out you. Please just think about this." Cleon pleaded desperately. Kel shook her head, tears rolling off her cheeks.

"Cleon, I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I don't love you the way you deserve. I'm sorry." She finished solemnly. Cleon nodded; his eyes red from trying not to cry. He put Anthony in the little crib beside Kel. Then he stood to leave.

"Kel, then I want nothing to do with them." He said, leaving without another word.

"Knock! Knock!" Came a voice from behind the door.

"Neal!" Squealed Kel.

"My aren't we –er- squeaky today?" Neal observed, amused. Kel rolled her eyes. The last time they had had a conversation similar to this, Kel had wanted a chocolate potato.

It had been two days since Cleon had walked out. So far he had been true to his word; he had wanted nothing to do with his children, he even asked to go ahead and be stationed miles form the castle. Kel had been upset for about eleven hours before realizing that people all around her wanted to help her, and that if Cleon wanted to walk out on his children, he would be losing the greatest gift in the world, not her. Plus Cleon was a horrible flirter anyway… Okay, Kel hadn't realized this on her own, Neal had pointed out most of it; Roald pointed out the horrible flirter part, though.

"Hey, Meathead." Said Dom from behind Neal. Neal jumped in surprise, and cursed under his breath. He was going to tell Kel how he felt, but with his Idiot cousin, how was he supposed to do that? "If you don't mind, I want a word with Kel."

"So do I." Replied Neal defensively. Dom, however, ignored him.

"Neal, I need to talk to Kel."

"So do I!" At that, Anthony started to wail, which scared Alli, so she started to scream, therefore Addi started to cry too. Kel rolled her eyes. "You two, out. And get Alanna to come help me." She said as she picked Anthony and Addi up. Both men quickly nodded and rushed out, not wanting to be in a room with three screaming children, and their upset mother.

Ten minutes later Alanna arrived with Aly, her thirteen-year-old daughter. She just quickly picked up Addi, her favorite, and tried to hush her. Aly picked up Alli, her favorite for an obvious reason, to try to help, also. Aly had come by a few times before and knew how to help. Kel, herself, was able to calm Anthony down the fastest. Alli finally calmed down, too, and Addi, as always, copied her sister. When they finally laid them down back to sleep, Alanna started to talk.

"Well, that was fun." She said sarcastically. Aly just rolled her eyes. She was obviously not impressed with her mother's sarcasm. Alanna and Aly stayed and talked to Kel for a while.

"That is why, Aly, you need not become a mother before your married. No offense Kel." Alanna informed her daughter. Kel just laughed.

"Yes, Aly never ever forget a charm!" Said Kel.

"Don't worry about me. I'm going to become a spy in a far away country. I don't plan to become a mother or marry more than I plan to kiss a bird or become a trickster's messenger. The odds of that are very slim!" Aly teased back. –small joke, but has a small spoiler to those who haven't read trickster's Queen! U have bneen warned!-- (Newet reads this only a few short years later. "Aly, what does this mean? You never wanted to kiss me?" Aly responds, "No, I was young, i also thought that i wouldn't end up a trickster's spy, too. I never thought all of those things would come true!! Now can you please tuck the baby in?" haha i thought it was funny.)

"Aly you think of the craziest things to say sometimes!" Alanna said to her daughter shaking her head. The girls continued to chat. Kel was thankful for their company, and there help with the children.

However, while they where chatting away; Dom was in the other room, practicing saying, "Kel, I love you. Will you marry me?" over and over again.

Neal, stood out side his door, listening. He couldn't let his stupid cousin marry his love! He had to do something and quick! What he had to do was drastic, but necessary. Neal would have to tell Kel how he felt. And convince her not to marry Dom. But when and how he would do it, he hadn't the slightest idea.

So what do u think? I believe this is one of my favorite chapters, i hope you think so too. anyway reviews!! Lots of em! I want ten more, but it would be great to get fifty before i write again!!!
