Lancelot took her directly to their chambers as she sobbed. "What is it Love?" he murmured; worried by tears he didn't understand.

"She's going to come back Lancelot. She's going to come back and try to take you and our baby away from me." Jeslyn held on to him tightly. "I'm so scared. Scared she'll succeed."

"Who are you speaking of?"

"Are you talking about Morgaine Jezzy?" Danni asked as she and the others poured through the doorway. "Is that who you're talking about?"

Lancelot set Jes on the bed and still held her close with her back to his chest. "Yes." She cried. "I know I need to be strong, but all I can think of is the rage in her voice, and how I would be if I'd lost everything."

"You aren't insane, or evil Jezzy." Carly soothed as she sat to Jes's side. The petite girl ran her hand through Jeslyn's hair. "That woman was both. She was off her rocker entirely."

"I know." Jes responded as her tears began to stop. "I know that. I'm just worried."

"And pregnant." Danni smiled. "All those hormones, and the stress of that horrible woman, it makes me want to cry too."

"We will not let anything happen to you Jeslyn." Dagonet spoke softly. "We would not let anything happen to any of you, not after all you've done for us." He looked to where Larissa stood holding their precious Dru. "All that you've given us."

"Let's let Jes get some rest." Tonia murmured, cradling Tanner close to her.

Once everyone left Jes relaxed into Lancelot's arms. He leaned back against the wall behind him and held her tightly. "I will not let this demon woman do anything to harm you or our children Jeslyn. Not Gaia, or Finn, nor the child to come." His hands rested on top of her belly.

"I don't want anything to happen to you either Lancelot." She whispered. "I wish you knew how much you meant to me."

"I think I do." He told her kissing her temple. "When I lay sleeping for so long the Creator took me and showed me your life as it was. I saw how this Mark treated you and how he destroyed your trust."

"You never told me that."

He shrugged. "What matters is that I woke up realizing how foolish I'd been to think you didn't need me just because you wield a blade as well as I do." Lancelot moved until they were both lying down on the bed; their bodies spooned together. "Tell me of this Morgaine; tell me the stories you grew up with."

"Well, here's the one I grew up knowing. Morgana Le Fay was the daughter of Igraine, Arthur's mother. Igraine was married to another when Arthur's father, Uther fell in love with her. The two men waged war and Merlin used his magic to disguise Uther as Igraine's husband so she would lay with him. The disguise worked and Arthur was conceived. Morgana grows up highly jealous of her half brother. He is made king and she goes to live with him in Camelot. She becomes a student of Merlin learning the ways of magic. Morgana uses magic to lay with Arthur making him think she is Guinevere. In doing so she becomes pregnant with Mordred. He grows up hating his father and later kills Arthur. Morgana dies from the unwise use of her magic. That's just one of the stories though. There are a lot more, although most of them have Arthur born when Uther seduces Igraine while her husband is at war."

"And tell me of the stories of myself." He said after a few moments of silence.

"Lancelot du Lac. A handsome knight, very charismatic. He pledges fealty to Arthur. He sleeps with the Lady Elaine, and begets a child, Galahad, but leaves her. He falls in love with the king's wife, Guinevere, and their love affair begins the destruction of the age of Arthur and his knights."

"Impossible. No matter how much I might be attracted to a woman if she is claimed by one of my brethren then I would not touch her." She could hear the frown in his voice.

"I know you wouldn't."

"You did not always. I remember now. The night in the stables. You made mention of the tales of myself and Guinevere." He murmured.

"That seems so long ago." Jeslyn said remembering that night. "A lifetime."

"It is a lifetime ago." Lancelot moved her until she was on her back and looking up at him. "I am not the poetic figure in those stories Jeslyn."

"I figured that out a long time ago Lancelot." Currently he was trailing his fingers along her belly.

"I think he has your glare." Tonia said thoughtfully as she pulled Tanner away from her breast. "Look at how mad he gets when you deny him something." She brought him to her shoulder so she could burp him.

"I do not glare." Her husband looked at her innocently. Tristan was currently restringing his favorite bow. "I am always pleasant."

She snorted at him. "You have quite a fierce glare my love." The baby burped and Tonia moved to lay him back in his bassinet. He only fought sleep for a moment before giving in. She turned to face Tristan and he felt desire flame inside of him. Her body still showed some signs that she'd been pregnant, but it didn't lessen his desire of her.

Tristan set aside the bow and motioned for her to come to him.

Carly, Danni, and Larissa sat in the small resting area. Galahad and Dagonet were in the stables looking over a new foal. Carly was in the middle of munching on an apple. She was ravenous and couldn't stop eating everything in sight. Gawain had gone to get her a mug of milk.

"I swear to god I'm as big as a house." She said with a sigh.

"You are? I'm not even a full six months yet and I'm bigger than Jes." Danni muttered.

"Listen to your Aunties, aren't they silly?" Larissa was rocking Dru back and forth gently. "Yes they are. They just need to buck up and wait until they've got those sweet babies in their arms, don't they?"

"It's gonna be sooner than later." Carly said sitting up straight.

"I know it feels like forever, but it…"

Gawain had just arrived as Carly waved her hand to shut up her friend as water rushed to the ground. "I mean a lot sooner! My water just broke."

As soon as the words left her mouth all chaos broke out as her friends began running to and fro.
