"Are you sure you feel alright Alois?" Hannah asked sitting on the bed with her son.

"Fine for the most part. Why does having a baby have to be so...difficult?"

"I don't know, but it truly is worth it." Alois shifted on the bed uncomfortably.

"Are you angry with me?" He asked gently rubbing his abdomen.

"Of course not. Why would you think that?" Alois sat up carefully, he gasped as his daughter kicked him seemingly as hard as she could.

"Lie down."

"Brother. Are you going to be ill again, like before?" Luca asked with concern.

"No. Luca, It's different this time. Why don't you go down and wait for Victor?"

"But brother, I love you and I want to be with you."

"I love you too, I need to talk to Hannah, then you can be with me." Luca nodded reluctantly and obeyed.

"You're upset that I'm pregnant aren't you Hannah?" He asked sadly.

"No. I love you very much, it isn't that I am upset- Alois, I look at you as my son. It's very hard to accept the fact that my child is having a child of his own. Don't take it the wrong way, I know you're going to me a good mother but It's hard to let go, do you understand?"

"I guess so. Is that why you hate Naveen?"

"Yes. I know you love him, and he loves you, but he took you from me. In my eyes, no one will ever be worthy enough to be your mate. In a perfect world, you would be at home with us."

"You don't want me to have Lenora do you?"

"That is a difficult question to answer." Hannah rose from the bed to kneel on the floor.

"Try."

"Yes I do, and yet I do not. I will love your daughter Alois, she makes you happy and that is very important to me. Again, it is someone else I must share you with."

"You do know that I'll still love you don't you?"

"Of course I do. The hard part is letting you go, sharing you with everyone else."

"I'll always be you son Hannah, that part won't change. I promise." Hannah smiled and kissed the boy's head.

"I don't want you to feel left out. I wanted to ask you something but if you don't think you can, I understand."

"I would do anything in the world for you."

"I'm going to be really scared when I have her, at least until I'm really ready for her, or she's ready I should say, will you stay with me?" Hannah smiled.

"I will be with you until you say otherwise."

"Thank you. I-ow!" Alois gasped in pain.

"Are you alright?" The young demon nodded.

"She kicks really hard, that's all, the healer says It's okay."

"Good. Do you need anything?"

"Just for you to stay with me."

"I will do that."

"Hannah, when I'm allowed up, we were going to decorate the nursery, do you want to help us?" Alois asked hoping that by including her more she wouldn't feel so upset.

"Naveen wouldn't approve."

"I already told him I was asking. He's fine with it. You can bring Luca over and it could be fun."

"I do have somethong at the house I would like to give you for your daughter, I could bring it over then." Hannah's mood changed almost instantly.

"What should Lenora call you?"

"I suppose she could just call me by name but I am fond of Nana. I'll answer to either."

"This is going to be wonderful Hannah, you'll see."

"I am very happy you asked me to help."

"Oh and Naveen and I talked and when Lenora comes, until I can get out of bed, would you and Luca stay here and help out?"

"I would love that, and you know Luca will in a heartbeat."

"I can't wait for you to see her, she'll love you." Alois said with a smile.

"And I will love her, just as I love her mother."
