Everyone at Dalaran gasped at the site of a shackled Lich King, minus the Helm and Frostmourne, being escorted by the champions and Lord Tirion to the Violet Citadel. As they approached the steps of the Violet Citadel, they were met by the leaders of the Horde and the Alliance, followed by Rhonin, Vereesa Windruner and Jaina Proudmore. They started cheering the Champions and Tirion. The rest of the people followed suit.
"So you brought him here for me to execute, how very thoughtful of you" Sylvanas grinned and raised her crossbow.
"Mother, No" Larisa jumped right in front of Arthas, hands outstretched.
"What do you think you're doing Larisa, let me kill him, I deserve to be the one to end his miserable life" Sylvanas raised her bow again.
"It's not that simple Mother, I have strong evidence that Arthas has been possessed by Ner'Zhul for the past decade. I performed an exorcism that aided Arthas expel Ner'Zhul from his mind. He got his soul back, as did you, all of the Forsaken and the Death Knights, now that Frostmourne is broken" Larisa finished explaining.
"So what do we do with him now?" Sylvanas asked her daughter.
"We perform a confession, and get some Magi to cast a truth spell on him, to determine if all I am saying is true." Larisa smiled at her mother.
Rhonin stepped in at that moment "Be that as it may, we have to put him somewhere until we determine that everything Centurion Windrunner is claiming is true. Guards, escort the Lich King to the Violet hold. Assign him a cell and place two guards next to it at all times."
Larisa looked up at Rhonin "Archmage, can I please visit Prince Menethil at the Hold? I have still much to discuss with him". Rhonin nodded.
"Very well Centurion, do what needs to be done", and they walked away.
"I'm going to the Legerdemain Lounge to take a shower and change, I'll be there in an hour" she whispered to Arthas, who nodded at her, and quietly followed the guards to the Hold.
An hour later Larisa found Arthas sitting on his cot in his cell, all cleaned up and wearing an orange prison uniform.
"And here I thought that black was your colour" Larisa joked as soon as she saw him. Arthas chuckled at that.
"Well, are you going to come in and keep me some company?", he asked her.
"Of course I will", Larisa nodded at the guards who lowered the force field for a minute to allow her to walk in and raised it again.
Arthas patted at a spot next to him, and she sat there. Arthas placed an arm around her, and pulled her close to him. "So what was it that you wanted to discuss with me sweetheart?"
Larisa smiled at him "Well, there is no subtle way saying this, my love, I had to wait until Ner'Zhul was completely vanquished before I told you. I am two months pregnant with triplets, a boy and two girls." Arthas' eyes widened at this.
"And that's not all, when we first made love ten years ago at the waterfall outside Stratholme, I got pregnant and gave birth to our son, Terenas. He is now nine years old and is growing up with Anduin Wrynn and your nieces and nephew in Stormwind " Arthas remained speechless for about a minute. He then grabbed her lifted her up in the air, twirled her around and planted a searing kiss on her lips.
"That is the best news I have heard in my life, when did you find out about the second pregnancy?" Arthas said with a huge goofy grin on his face.
"This morning, right before we moved in to sack the Citadel.
"And you still came after me" Arthas frowned, thinking of the implications if things did not go as planned. They were now sitting on the cot again, Arthas with his back at the wall, one foot against the wall, holding Larisa in front of him, between his legs, cradling her in his arms, with one hand placed protectively over her stomach, while the other was hugging her shoulders.
"Well, I couldn't just leave you up there on your own, even if you had defeated Ner'Zhul on your own, Tirion and the champions would have finished you off. Besides, I had taken all the necessary precautions to prevent any harm befalling our children. If things had gone really bad, I would have activated an emergency hearthstone to Dalaran." Larisa grinned at him.
"That's my girl, always the planner" Arthas kissed the top of her head and squeezed her tighter.
"If you're two months along, that means that you conceived the very first night we made love. By the Light, woman, you get pregnant at the drop of a hat!" Larisa chuckled, while he nuzzled his face in her hair, breathing in her scent.
That was when they heard a very angry female voice screeching "What the hell is going on here?" Jaina Proumore was shooting daggers at the both of them.
"Oh crap" they both said at the same time as they stared in horror at Jaina who had conjured two fireballs on each hand.
Larisa casted a shield over them, while Arthas raised his hands at Jaina and spoke calmly "Whoa, Jaina, calm down, what do you think you are doing? You are about to attack an unarmed prisoner and an officer of the Horde, who is also the daughter of two of the Horde leaders. Do you want another war to erupt now that this one is finally over?"
Jaina glared at him "Everyone in Lordaeron knew that you and her had a bastard, and no one really cared. But now it seems that you were at it again. If she is two months pregnant already, that means that you were fucking her while you were still the Lich King, and that makes her a traitor of the Argent Crusade, of the Horde and of all of Azeroth."
"You forgot Outland" Larisa smirked.
SHUT UP WHORE! Jaina screamed at Larisa, I will have you hanged right next to him for this."
"Did you hear that babe, will are going to die together, how romantic!" Larisa grinned at Arthas, who leaned down and kissed her.
"What is the matter with you two, you are going to die, and you are simply laughing about it." Jaina hissed.
"Oh give it a rest Jaina, soon they will perform a confession and they will know the truth about us." Larisa smirked at her, sick of her hysteria. At this point Jaina was almost apoplectic with anger.
"You will pay for your insolence Elf whore" she screeched and lifted her arm to throw the fireball at Larisa. Arthas jumped in front of Larisa while she cast a shield over both of them again. But then, a big gauntleted hand caught Jaina's.
"What do you think you're doing Jaina" King Varian Wrynn, who had witnessed everything from where he was standing further back, asked Jaina with a dark look on his face.
"What does it look like I'm doing Varian, I'm about to blow these two to oblivion. Did you know that that Elf whore is pregnant with Arthas' children, AGAIN, which means that he's been fucking her while he was still the Lich King? For all we know she has been passing on information to him. Who knows how many lives have been lost because of her. She is a traitor to Argent Dawn and a traitor to the Horde...she should burn for this."
"That is not true, I never betrayed any of you, I never passed any information to the Lich King, I'd die before I do that. I was just trying to save Arthas from Ner'Zhul's clutches, just like you were.
I was just more proactive about it. Besides, I only ever met Arthas when he was in control, to do any differently would have meant my death or worse". Larisa shouted at Jaina, deliberately leaving the part out where Ner' Zul took over during their lovemaking a week ago.
"She is telling the truth, I never once asked her for information and she never volunteered any. All she ever did was try to separate me from Ner'Zhul, and she succeeded most of the time. " Arthas pleaded with Jaina.
"Why should I believe you two? All you ever did was lie to me. You swore to me Arthas that there was no other woman in your life, when we got back together, and then I found out that you got an Elf pregnant after the Stratholme incident. And you, whore, you swore to me that you hated Arthas, and were only here to watch him die, right before you went to scout the Vrykul activity at Storm Peaks, and three months later you are pregnant by him, AGAIN" Jaina looked at them with disgust.
"Jaina, all you have to do is cast a truth spell on me, and you'll see that I am not lying about any of this. Or just get another Priest to perform a confession. He or she will look into my memories and see that I did not betray anyone." Larisa tried to reason with her.
"But he was fucking you though, WHORE" Jaina retorted.
"STOP CALLING HER A WHORE" A very angry Arthas roared at Jaina in a very Lich King Manner, making everyone there, except for Larisa, flinch.
"Yes, but he was not technically THE Lich King then" An exasperated Larisa calmly answered, stroking Arthas' back soothingly, to calm him down.
Varian turned Jaina around to face him, grabbing both her shoulders, so that now he was facing him.
"Enough of this, If there is any foul play here, it is up to the Priests and the Magi to determine that. Larisa is an honourable officer of the Horde and a devout Priest. She has saved thousands of lives with her actions, and she always jumped in front of danger to protect the innocent. You are too involved in this Jaina, you are letting your personal feelings and your resentment cloud you judgement. You need to let Arthas go already, honey. You two broke up ten years ago, he has been in love with another woman ever since, they already have a child together and have more in the way, while you got involved with a mad, power hungry Elven Prince, out of spite, and bore his children. You can't just pursue him forever. You are wasting your life away. You chase after a dream and you refuse to see what's right in front of you. You keep kicking happiness with both feet, and brood over what might have been!"
"What do you mean by that Varian? What have I been kicking?" A confused Jaina demanded.
"Oh for fuck's sake woman, for someone so smart, you can be very thick sometimes. Here, I'll make it more simple for you" Varian crushed his lips on Jaina's giving her a searing kiss that lasted a couple of minutes. He then, released her, turned around, and walked away without another word.
"HEY, GET THE FUCK OFF MY WOMAN, YOU DAMN BRUTE" Kael'Thas roared from his cell at Varian, while Illidan howled with laughter, but no one paid ant attention to them as they were all shocked.
Both Larisa's and Arthas' jaws dropped to the floor, while Jaina looked like she was hit by a Disorientation spell.
"What the fuck did just happen?" She was finally able to stammer.
"Well Jaina, looks like my old friend Varian has been in love with you for a while, and you being obsessed with me, did not see it." Arthas shook his head at Jaina.
"What are you waiting for you daft cow? Go after him, talk to him. Don't let him get away too. Run before another "Elven whore" steals him from you too" Larisa taunted Jaina, sick of being called a whore by everyone.
"I have to talk to him" Jaina said to no one in particular, and run out of the prison.
"Well, that's the smartest thing you said all day" Larisa yelled after her, causing Arthas to howl with laughter.
"In all fairness, Kael was a very sweet and caring man before that racist filth Garithos drove him in the arms of the Burning Legion, and I think that Jaina truly loved him while they were together." Larisa shook her head, as she remembered how Kael used to be.
"So where were we?" Larisa asked Arthas. He pulled her back in his arms and sat back down down at his cot with Larisa in front of him.
"We were about to pick names for the children babe" Arthas smiled in her hair.
"Ah yes, how about Lianne, Sylvanas and Lor'themar?" Larisa asked.
"Perfect, that should appease your parents, and my mother will be delighted" Arthas agreed.
"Visiting hours are over, you may come back tomorrow morning" A guard announced.
"Oh no, I don't want to leave you here alone" Larisa looked devastated.
"Don't worry about me sweetheart, go to bed, you need rest, besides, as long as you are wearing that pendant, we can always stay in contact." Arthas kissed her as the force field dropped to let her out.
"I love you" she whispered.
"I love you more" He answered back and winked at her. She winked back and walked out of the prison.

Jaina finally caught up with Varian as he was about to close the door of the suite he had booked at the Legerdemain Lounge. She caught the door.
"Varian...?", she whispered.
"What is it Jaina, did you come so I can explain more things to you?" Varian frowned at her. Jaina shook her head.
"No Varian, you don't need to say anything else, I understand now. You were right, I was so blinded in my crusade to save Arthas, that I did not notice you developing feelings for me, after I freed you from the Orcs four years ago. And me, feeling the same way about you. You were never just a friend to me. You were much more. I am sorry, I should have realized this all much sooner." She whispered with tears in her eyes as stroked Varian's cheek.
Varian turned his head and kissed her palm. "Finally, you can see...well, better late than never, I suppose" he pulled her close and kissed her with passion. Jaina returned his embrace and kissed him back. as he closed the door behind them. He then kissed her again, while his clever hands started to undress Jaina, making her shiver whenever he touched her skin. Jaina started unfasting his armor, and it fell on the floor with a clanking noise. Varian lifted her up to his level as she wrapped her legs around him, and kissed her. He carried her to the bed and threw her on it. He climbed on top oh her, kissed her, and started kissing down her neck all the way to her breast. His other hand traveled further down to her nether regions and expertly started his ministrations. Jaina started to moan as he placed two fingers inside her and started moving them. Before she got to recover from the waves of her first orgasm of the evening, he entered her to the hilt, and started moving in inside her with powerful thrusts. He had waited too long for this moment and he was not very gentle. He will have all the time in the world to take things slower with her, but now, he was burning with hot desire for her. Jaina did not mind, she was aching for Varian so much that she increased the pace with him. She enjoyed the powerful thrusts inside her, and soon the waves of her second orgasm hit her. Varian then pulled out of her momentarily, flipped her around, pulled her hips up, while she rested on her elbows and plunged inside of her again, giving him a deeper angle. Jaina moaned even louder in pleasure, as Varian's thrusts became even more powerful, while he continued to pound inside her relentlessly. Jaina could only moan even louder biting the pillow as she came again. Screaming her rupture out was not an option, Dalaran rooms have very thin walls. With a growl, Varian came with her.
"That was amazing", he whispered in her ear, as he kissed the back of her neck.
"Yes my love, it was glorious", she whispered back trying to catch her breath.
"Well brace your self sweetheart, because round two is about to begin. He sat up and and pulled her towards the edge of the bed. He knelt down, and pulled her legs over his shoulder and attacked her other lips with his mouth. When Jaina screamed his name, he stood up, wrapped her legs around his waist and plunged in to her. When she came, he lifted both her legs on his shoulder and started pounding in her in a deeper angle. When Jaina got consumed by her rupture again, Varian flipped her around, bent her over the bed and entered her again. He pounded inside for what appeared to Jaina like hours. He traced his finger down her spine, making her shiver, as he increased his pace even more. Jaina could not contain her self and screamed her rupture as Varian finished with her. But they did not rest for long. Jaina straddled Varian and started to attack his mouth, while her hands explored his body. She lowered her self on him, her heat enveloping him, and started moving. Soon their pace was getting faster and faster, and Jaina held on to him for dear life as they both rode through their waves of their rupture. Varian flipped them around, so that now he was on top and started moving inside her with deep powerful thrusts. Jaina arched her back, but before she could scream her rupture, Varian kissed her as he came as well. They collapsed in each others arms, taking a short break before they started again an hour later, when Varian rolled her over, so that she was now on all four, and plunged in to her like a mad man. The much softer and gentler lovemaking came much later that night.

As Larisa was walking up the stairs of the inn hours earlier, she happened to glance at the room across from her. Varian and Jaina were locked in an embrace and kissing each other passionately. Before she could take a closer look, Varian closed the door, but she could hear the distinct sound of clanking of armour dropping on the floor, indicating that they were talking each other's cloths off.
She walked into Taria's adjoined bedroom to check on her and kiss her goodnight. Right after he learned that the Lich King was defeated, Lor'themar arranged for hos grand daughter to be brought to Dalaran from Quel'Thalas, to be reunited with her mother. She thanked the nanny and dismissed her, and when she returned to her room, she heard the bed squeaking, along with moaning and grunting. She smiled to herself and changed into her nightgown and slipped under the covers.
"Arthas you'll never guess what just happened. Varian and Jaina are in the next room fucking like bunnies" Larisa informed Arthas through their link. Arthas roared with laughter, causing the guards to eye him curiously.
The next morning Larisa was having breakfast with her daughter at the Lounge, when Varian and Jaina came down the stairs.
"Daddy, Daddy! Taria screamed in delight and run to her father who lifted her off the ground.
"Good morning pumpkin, how are you today?" Varian smiled at his daughter.
"Great! Mommy ordered us waffles for breakfast!" she giggled, making Varian grin at her.
"That's wonderful sweetheart, I know how you love them!" he told his daughter.
"Come, sit with us, bring aunt Jaina too, lets all have waffles!" Taria pulled her father and Jaina to were Larisa was sitting. Varian sighed, and sat across Larisa. "Good morning Larisa!" he smiled. Larisa smiled back "Good morning Varian, Jaina" she raised an eyebrow at the Mage. "Larisa" was all Jaina could say as she sat next to Varian. They ordered waffles too, since Taria insisted, and continued with the awkward breakfast. Jaina stood up and excused her self because she needed to take her girls to the park, and offered to bring Taria with her. Taria cheered at that, because Daphne and Chloe were her best friends. Larisa and Varian agreed, and Jaina left holding Taria's hand, leaving Varian alone with Larisa for the first time in six years.
"You don't need to stay around Varian now that Taria left" Larisa whispered as she took a sip of her coffee.
"I want to stay Larisa, I need to talk to you. There is something I want to take off my chest since the Battle for the Undercity." Varian said.
