~The lies they created changed their world~
~Three months later~
Kaitlin smiled down at Sonya with tears in her eyes.
"He's beautiful love." She said and kissed the proud new mother.
Sonya smiled at Kaitlin, a new born in her arms, and she in Lucians. The son she held was as pale as she, and had their blue eyes. His hair was dark like sonyas, and curly like Lucians. Xristo helped Kaitlin to her feet from the bed, her belly swollen with the coming of her own child.
She winced in pain, putting a hand to her back. Xristo's face twisted with worry.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. He is just being a little moving mouse."
"He?" Lucian laughed. "I cant see you with a son."
"Well no little girl of mine is this stubborn."
"She is if she is your daughter." Sonya laughed, and they all laughed with her.
"Come on then. The sun is rising soon. You need your rest, my lady." Xristo said and helped Kaitlin to the door.
The walked through the old castle, the halls lit with torches. Xristo smiled at Kaitlin, softly holding her hand, and they reached their room. Kaitlin sighed as she walked to the bed and sat.
"Tanis is coming tomorrow." She said softly.
"I know. I asked him to come remember?"
She rolled her eyes. "I no you did. Xristo, im scared. He still doesn't even know!"
"Well it wont be hard to tell him when he sees you."
She narrowed those pale eyes. "No one asked for you to be smart."
He sat beside her and took her hand. "Kaitlin, everything will be fine."
"I love him. And it scares me. This child, this life, it all scares me Xristo and there is no way to make that fear go away."
He kissed the top of her head. "I will love you no matter what Kaitlin."
"I know." She whispered.
The next day arrived and Kaitlin watched from the high walls as Tanis's horse arrived. A tear slid down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away, then walked down to the courtyard as the gates were opened. Tanis saw her and smiled. She smiled too. He got off his horse and walked towards her. She stepped out from behind the wall, and he froze.
Another tear fell down her cheek. "I tried to tell you. But i didn't think it was something i could write out." She whispered.
"It's mine?"
"Of course it's yours."
HE stepped closer, looking her over. "How, how long have you known?"
"Since i first discovered it seven moons ago."
"Seven moons! Why didn't you tell me before you left."
She shook her head, sobbing now. "I couldn't. I knew you wouldn't let me go if i did. Do you hate me?"
He reached her in three strides and crushed his lips against hers. He pulled away and looked at her. "I could never hate the mother of my child, Kaitlin."
She smiled through her tears, and then she was laughing with joy. Tanis laughed with her and held her tightly.
"I cant believe it." He whispered. "What do you think it will be."
"A little boy." She said. "I can see myself holding your blue eyed son."
"A son hm?" He kissed her. "I love you."
"I love you too."
