A/N: So, this story took a who other direction than the one I was going with, so I have no place for Slam, so if you have a place for him, please let me know.

JPoohLover-I'm sorry, I just can't promise a happy ending. I'm not saying I'm sure it won't, but I'm not saying it will. I still have no idea how this is going to end. I just watched Becoming Jane and I LOVED the ending to it, so I might decide to do a bittersweet ending. Or I might go for flat out depressing and have an ending inspired by A Royal Affair, Atonement, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Anna Karenina, or Bight Star. So I'll do my best to give you a happy ending, but I make no promises.

aimee gallie-Shut up! I'm seventeen I can watch what I want. So there's a little swearing and nudity, but I can handel it! You're older, but I think we both can agree that I'm far more mature than you. And by inappropriat I'm talking about those songs I taught you. Love you and thank you. :) 3

"Mr. Bumbudell," Lexi said, bowing her head.

"A pleasure, Your Highness," said Alexand-Ace.

Ace's and Lexi's eyes met and a smile graced their lips.

Soon the gaming began. Lexi, like always, was winning. After a while, a look of pain spread across her face and she screamed out in pain.

"Are those labor pains?" Darien asked.

"She's in labor," a woman said.

A few women went over to Lexi and helped her out of the room.

Darien smirked and raised his glass of wine.

"A toast," said Darian. "It looks as if I might have an heir by the night is out."

Everyone raised a glass.

A scream of pain echoed through the palace.
