CHAPTER 29.
The next day.
"How long have we been here?" Cibeline asked.
"Since we woke up? Hours. "Teela replied as she tried to break the lock with a hair clip. '' And the masters did not find us. ''
"They should be on their way," Malick commented from his cell.
'' I very much doubt it. Adora was captured a few months ago and it took her a long time to know where they kept her. "Teela bent the clip again. ''Damn it! Your magic is back? ''
'' No. '' They both responded together after a while testing.
Teela sighed.
"What is it?" Cybeline asked.
'' Nothing, just thinking about how to get us out of here. ''
"If I were you I'd stop trying to leave," Susan commented as she moved closer and closer to the hall. "These prisions are withdrawing the magic from the all you and leaving you weak. Your powers will not work. ''
'' But I do not have powers! ''
'' Stop trying to fool me, Teela. We know that you are a sorceress with great powers, you no need to pretend. I know you're trying to call your powers, it will not work. ''
''What are you talking about?''
'' Spare the humiliation. Just take some advice. Give up, these cells are more powerful than you. ''
She left, leaving Teela even more confused.

In the royal palace.
'' Are you sure you want to go there alone? '' Adora asked.
''I will not. He-man will. "Adam replied.
'' You know what I mean. I can go along, I can help you! ''
'' And risk your safety? No, you will not and I doubt you'll be able to leave the palace after tonight's announcement. ''
Today Randor would announce that his daughter was pregnant for the kingdom. It was past time to speak, because this was a matter that could not be postponed. Adam would be present in the advertisement, but would leave in the middle of the party to reconnoiter the spot that Blue Peekablue had spoken.
"Is not it better to wait until tomorrow, Adam?" She asked worriedly.
'' No, the ad will distract everyone. This is our best chance. "He moved closer to his sister and kissed her forehead. '' Do not worry, I'll be fine. ''
'' You have three hours to go back. Otherwise I'll send the masters behind you. "She hugged him and then left the room before he could respond. Perplexed, he looked at Hawk, who shrugged with a smile and followed Adora out of the room.

"Dear friends, guests, my subjects," Randor exclaimed. "I come today to speak on behalf of my daughter Princess Adora and my son-in-law Prince Sea Hawk to announce with great joy that the princess bears the future heir to Eternia. Princess Adora is pregnant! ''
The whole hall celebrated with shouts of joy. Today representatives from almost all kingdoms came to the big advertisement, just as the couple's friends came from Etheria to attend the party.
The royal family had just come down from the small platform and was instantly surrounded by the guests, especially Adora, by her friends.
"We'll soon have a miniature Adora running through the palace!" Bow exclaimed as he hugged Adora.
"Or a little Hawk." Shimmering smiled.
Adora smiled, remembering when she had that vision about the birth of her firstborn, she already knew the sex of the baby, but she thought it best to let the people try to find out. She never said anything about that vision with Hawk, that is, nor did he know the child's sex yet.
Frosta looked at Adora and exclaimed. '' No, I think it's going to be a girl. ''
'' It may as well be a boy! '' Swen interrupted. '' I and Hawk are going to teach you everything he's going to need to know. ''
'' Or her! '' Casta exclaimed with a smile. '' What if you see a girl? That will not stop you from teaching her to sail. ''
'' Or to fight, '' Lohni added.
'' The child was not even born and do you already have plans on what to teach her to do? '' Adora asked laughing.
'' Yes. '' His friends responded, but everyone knew better. It did not matter the sex of the child, for it would be much loved (and spoiled) by all.
Adam smiled at the scene and after thanking the congratulations for becoming an uncle, he slipped out of the ballroom.
Hawk resisted the temptation to run after the prince, for he knew he could not leave the party, but he glanced at Duncan who understood immediately and followed Adam from afar. The ex-pirate watched them leave the ballroom as more and more people approached him and Adora to congratulate them.
'' And you Hawk? What do you think the child will be? "Bow asked.
He smiled and looked at Adora. ''Sincerely? I'm going to love whatever the child is. ''
'' But you want it to be ... '' Glimmer began.
'' I said, I'm going to love whatever it is. Boy or girl.''
"What if they're twins?" Casta asked.
"You do not help either, do you?" Adora asked. '' I do not think I'm going to have twins. ''
'' You never know. '' Lohni agreed with Casta.
The blonde shook her head with a smile.
