Here's chapter 15!

I apologize for any delay, but work had kept me practically exhausted and even on my day offs, I practically had writer's block! What a nightmare! Anyway, I hope that you may find this chapter quite interesting. I thank you for your patience and reviews, which I hope to find more later on. It gives me more reason to keep writing.

Enjoy!

Reby Montana - As a reply to your last review, I'm glad that you found the wedding quite remarkable. And yes, the cake scene was inspired from Frozen Fever. I just thought it was cute and funny to add that. I agree that the reactions of our present trolls were hilarious!

Black Raider - Thanks for your opinion. Hope this chapter may interest you.

mlpfanceline1 - I feel appreciated that you've added my story to your favorites list. It makes me feel proud of my stories despite the lack of knowledge in the literature world.

A Blue Angel Born From Love

Chapter 15: The Miraculous Gift

Primrose's eyes fluttered open. It was a peaceful morning where the tent seemed cleared up by the sunlight, but not bright enough to wake even the heavy sleepers such as the familiar troll right next to her. She rose quietly and saw Wood resting from their night activities. He quietly stirred in his sleep, but didn't wake up. He looked so peaceful lying there, sleeping like a log. They were both tired from their wedding party and their time together.

'I don't care,' Primrose thought as she watched him sleep heavily. 'I don't care what happens later on or even if Trollstice do come every year. I want to spend the rest of my life with Wood. I love him and I don't want him to leave. I want him to stay by my side forever and I'm going to do the same for him.'

Primrose smiled as she imagined what their future would bring. Only time could tell.

During the next few days after their wedding, Wood and Primrose enjoyed every minute of their new life together. As decided, Primrose moved in with Larch and Rosiepuff and the trolls couldn't be happier. Their love grew even bigger with each passing day. Most of the time, they continued their daily routines but with slight changes.

Whenever Wood and Primrose wanted to be alone, they would travel to their willow tree where they would sing, hug, and dance together. And when Primrose was alone with Rosiepuff whenever Larch would head out to the village whether to be with friends, do errands, or even lend a helping hand or two to another troll, she and her new mother in-law would have a wonderful time together. They would either bake new recipes, which Primrose loves being the taste checker, sew some clothes together, and even sing along, though no one can match Primrose's angelic voice.

These last few days have gone well for their friends as well. Big Bash and Olivia had discovered that their baby will be a boy and were proud as they can be. Rhythm continued her karaoke shows with DJ Sonic and their relationship grows with each song they played together.

But the best news was from Shiningstar when he proposed to his girlfriend, Amethyst, and she accepted. It was an official wedding announcement which everyone happily agreed to help and Joy, being the party planner for all trolls, immediately began the preparations. Wood was asked to be the best man which he happily agreed in order to return the favor when Shiningstar was his best man. After two weeks since Wood and Primrose's wedding, the preparations for Shiningstar's wedding has been set, ready for the big day tomorrow.

On the night before the wedding, Primrose and Wood were alone together, watching the stars twinkling across the sky with their heads joined together.

Being the romantic he is, Wood brought a bottle of berry wine and some food for them to have a small picnic across the branch from their pod.

Wood sighed deeply. "Perfect."

"What's perfect?" Primrose wondered.

"Everything. The night, our lives, and best of all, you."

"You are such a romantic," Primrose playfully elbowed him which made him chuckle.

"I try, but I don't have to try so hard, now do I?" He booped her nose which she blushed in return.

"No, I guess not. Now that we're married, anything you do for us, I'll always love just as I love you." She kissed his lips which he returned greatly.

When they broke apart, Wood smiled and took out a blue rose which he handed her. "Oh, it's beautiful!"

"Happy 8,336 hour anniversary, my love."

"What? That's way longer than we've been together and it's only been two weeks since we've been married," Primrose said though the gesture was sweet and charming.

Wood waved down his hands and hunched his shoulders. "I know but it's how long we've been together since the day we've first met and in a month, it would be the official anniversary of that fated day under the willow tree which led us to this day, or night, in this case."

"Let me guess, you're gonna keep counting the days as long as we live?" Primrose smirked.

"As long as I live and breathe, my flower." He kissed her forehead and then gaze on the locket she's wearing. "The locket sure suits you. You look so elegant and majestic, especially when you wear it."

"How could I not wear it? It's the symbol of our marriage and I love it because it is a gift from you." Primrose opened it which inside had the Rosiepuff's picture and an empty slot for another photo. "I'm grateful for Rosiepuff to give me her picture. Like you, she's forever in my heart."

"Any idea whose picture you'll add in the empty space?" Wood asked curiously.

"No idea yet. Could be you, could be us, and who knows? Could be..." Primrose stopped there.

"What? Could be who?"

"Never mind. There's time to decide. But for now, let us enjoy this night before the big day tomorrow," Primrose said.

"Alright," Wood placed his arm around her shoulders as they looked up into the night sky. "Tonight, my heart is bursting just like on our wedding. You made me the happiest troll alive."

"And I'm the luckiest girl ever," Primrose smiled. When she looked to the stars, she gasped. "Oh, look!"

"What is it?" Wood looked up.

"It's a shooting star!" She pointed at the streak of light shooting across the sky. "Quick! Make a wish!" She closed her eyes and crossed her fingers as she made her wish. Wood smiled at her wish making.

"Oh, my love. What more could I ask for? What about you? What do you wish for?"

"Well, there is one thing, but I don't know if you'll agree with it."

"Come on. You can tell me anything. I'll listen," he urged her playfully.

"Well...I was thinking of maybe the two of us...having a family," She said hopefully.

Wood became surprised. "You mean like a baby?" Wood saw her nod gently.

"You don't want kids, don't you? I knew you might not want to because of Trollstice coming every year and the fact that we've only just married and..." she couldn't finished as Wood gently slammed his lips into hers. She was taken by surprise but joined in on the action. They wrapped their arms around their necks to push further the kiss. Their moment was sweet, magical, and perfect in every way just like their love for each other. Once they finished, they locked eyes.

"Oh, Primrose. A family is the one thing I hope we could create together. Of course I want to have kids. And until then, I'll enjoy you for a little longer," Wood said with a loving smile. He sweetly caressed her cheek with the back of his hand.

"You're not worried about the future? Trollstice comes every year and each time, we lose trolls and fear that they might be our friends or worse," Primrose said worriedly.

"I know the risks our future may bring, but I don't care because together, we'll take on any challenge and look out for each other. Plus, I would like to see what our child will look like especially if he or she inherits your colors."

"I hope that I would be a good mother."

"I know that you'll be great mother, but only if you think I'd be a great father," Wood held her hands while staring at her beautiful eyes. The kind of eyes that shimmers in the darkness.

She tightened her grip on his hands. "You're the best husband I could have. There's no doubt you'll be the best father."

Wood grinned and then proceeded to pour some wine into their glasses. "Then let's propose a toast," He raised his glass to Primrose and she mimicked her actions. "To good times ahead and the family that awaits us in the future. Let happiness keep on coming to us and everyone."

"Cheers," Primrose clinked her glass with Wood's and they both sipped their drinks. But as Primrose gulped her drinks, a sharp pain made Primrose drop her glass and she grabbed her stomach, hunching over in the process.

Wood hurried towards her, grabbing her shoulders worriedly. "Are you alright, honey? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, Wood. But when that drink hit my stomach...no good," she moaned slightly.

"Your stomach? Maybe you should lie down."

"Don't worry. I'm okay," she assured him, though she was becoming a little lightheaded.

"Well, it's getting late, anyway. We should get a good night's sleep. We have a big day tomorrow and we don't want to be tired for it, do we?" Wood suggested which Primrose nodded in agreement.

The two trolls packed their stuff and headed back to their pod. A moment later, Wood came back from the bathroom after washing up and on their bed was Primrose, sleeping soundly like nothing's wrong. He was relieved to see her sleep so peacefully, but the thought of her being ill plagued his mind.

Despite what Primrose said, he was worried. Really worried. He couldn't help but think that there might be something wrong with her. But instead, he just climbed into bed with her, placing his arm around her, hoping that she'll be better in the morning.

The next morning came with the sun rising up and as usual, most trolls began their morning songs which became part of their routine. Wood yawned loudly, stretching his arms for the new day. He turned, hoping to see the bright smile on his wife's face. However, all he saw was an empty space in the other side of the bed.

"Primrose?" Wood searched around his room. Tossing the covers off, he got out of bed and looked around. "Primrose?" He called out. He went into the kitchen, but she wasn't there. She wasn't in the living room either. Where could she be?

But then, as he walked near the bathroom door, heaving sounds were heard from inside the bathroom which was replaced by someone hurling in the toilet. Perching his ear on the door, Wood gently knocked. "Primrose, are you in there?"

"I am..." Primrose replied, though she sounded faint, tired, and sickly.

"Are you okay?" He asked with concern in his voice.

"It depends..." she barely continued before she resumed her puking. Without a second thought, Wood opened the door. There was Primrose, on her knees in front of the toilet where she panted tiredly. Her hair was messy, but pulled back to avoid getting dirty while she was regurgitating. She wore her lavender night dress, though the suspenders were dangling below her shoulders.

Wood quickly ran to her side. As she continued spewing, Wood gently rubbed her back hoping to give her some comfort in any way. She panted heavily once she was finished. "Oh, that's not pretty."

"This is really troubling," Wood said. "Maybe you should go to the doctor. You've been unwell since last night."

"Oh, I don't think I should. Maybe it's something I ate from the picnic," Primrose said.

"But you barely ate that much. I think I'm going to stay home with you and not go to Shiningstar's wedding."

"No! You're his best man. You're needed there," Primrose disagreed.

"He's my friend. He'll understand the reason why I didn't make it to his wedding. But you're my wife. You're more important to me than the wedding. You need me more than Shiningstar needs me," Wood suggested.

"But I don't want you to miss such an important event. He was your best man. This is a way for you to return the favor. You go ahead without me and I'll stay with Rosiepuff. She'll take care of me. And if anything goes wrong, you'll be the first to know and I'll go straight to the doctor," Primrose pleaded. "Please, go to the wedding for both of us."

Wood was hesitant. As her husband, he should attend her first over anything or anyone else. But seeing her pleading look despite her condition, he could see that she's willing to argue over this without any doubt. He sighed heavily. "At the first sign of trouble or anything different, I'll dash back without a second thought."

"I'll be fine," Primrose wrapped her arms around him. He wrapped his around her as well. "Don't worry, my love."

Moments later, Wood was ready to go. Wearing his father's suit once more since the wedding, he looked back to his favorite two women in his life before heading out the door. He walked towards them. "Now remember, if Primrose shows any unusual symptoms again, straight to the doctor she'll go. Send a troll or anyone to pass the message to me."

"Don't worry, my son," Rosiepuff assured him. "She'll be well taken care of."

Wood smiled at his mother. Then gazed back at Primrose. "Are you sure about this?"

Sher placed her hands on his shoulders. "I'm sure. I want you to enjoy yourself for the both of us. Everyone will understand this."

They both shared a hug and then a loving kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too, Wood," Primrose said before nuzzling their noses playfully. Wood proceeded out the door, but not before looking back at them one more time. They gave him assuring smiles and waves and he left the door.

He hated leaving his wife when she was feeling sick. He'll do anything to stay with her, but fighting over it was useless. With Primrose on his mind, he continued his way towards his best friend's wedding. Still, he prayed and hoped that Primrose will be okay when he returns.

-In the present-

"What was wrong with her? Was she really sick?" Poppy became worried as she interrupted Branch's storytelling.

"Well...she was...sort of, kind of you know...in a matter of speaking," Branch tried to explain while trying not to reveal much. He knew what was going on during that time after being told by Peppy and the other adults years ago. Instead of telling Poppy and Guy, he decided to play along to see if they could discover the reason of Primrose's sickness. "It's a natural type of sickness."

"Was it food poisoning?" Poppy guessed.

"No," Branch shook his head.

"Appendicitis?"

"No, even though I have no idea what that is," Branch answered with slight confusion on whatever appendicitis is.

"Oh, I know!" Poppy rose up, placing her hands on Branch's knees.

"You do?"

"She caught the Frigi Flu!" Poppy exclaimed.

Branch responded playfully by imitating a buzzer sound. "Nope! Wrong, but thank you for playing."

"Okay, I give up," She shrugged with an innocent smile.

"Don't give up, you quitter!" Branch argued. "The Poppy I know never gives up and I should know because she never gave up on yours truly," Branch said, giving a wink to Poppy which she giggled in response. Branch then sat up and decided to give them clues of the truth. He then made a lunar motion over his belly and holding his back with his other hand. "Okay, I'll give you a hint. My mother was going to have..."

"A hernia?" Guy Diamond asked.

"No, no, no, no." Branch waved his hands. "It's a good thing she's going to have. It rhymes with...maybe."

"Rabies!" Guy guessed confidently.

Branch face palmed while Poppy stifled her laughter. "Think! She was gonna have a..." He then made his hands do a cradle position, swing it left and right while singing a lullaby.

Poppy pondered until she realized it. "A BABY!"

"Thank you, Poppy!" Branch exhaled thankfully. "Yes! Bingo! We have a winner! And do you know who that baby was?" Branch smiled slyly.

"You!" Poppy pointed at him.

"Right again!" Branch declared.

"Of course. Our Branch growing in his mommy's tummy!" Guy joked.

"Okay, Guy, I think we get it. But FYI, all of you were inside your mommy's tummies as well. In fact, your parents thought that one of you was enough for them, Guy Diamond! Thank Troll for that!" Branch added with a laugh.

"Very funny," Guy pouted.

"Okay, boys. That's enough. Let's get on with the story," Poppy said. "So, Branch, how did your mother realized that she was going to have you?"

"Well, at first she didn't realized it, but then Grandma immediately discovered about her current condition. I wouldn't be surprised since Grandma had taken care of trolls before besides Dad. There's no hiding it from sweet old Rosiepuff."

-Back in the Past-

Primrose spent the rest of the day with Rosiepuff while Wood attended Shiningstar's wedding. She was sickly almost the whole morning, spending hours in the bathroom feeling nauseous and sometimes, when she rested, she would carry around a bucket for her to lose her lunch.

It was no fun for her. Thankfully, Rosiepuff was there to comfort her. She made her some tea to ease her stomach and to have some fluids. They even spent time reading and talking about their day. Still, she still missed her husband being by her side, but he'll come right back after the celebration.

By noon, Primrose and Rosiepuff were at the kitchen. For now, Primrose was feeling a little better and she was eating a fruit while Rosiepuff drank some tea.

"How are you feeling, dear?" Rosiepuff asked her softly.

"A little better now," she sighed. "I don't know what was wrong with me. I thought it might be food poisoning or some bug."

"If it was food poisoning, trust me, you would immediately know. And you don't have a fever anymore or any symptoms of a bug or flu," Rosiepuff explained. "You said that after you drank the wine was when you felt the pain in the stomach, right?" Primrose nodded. "And then you got sick in the morning..." Rosiepuff halted and widen her eyes. "Oh my goodness!"

"What?" Primrose worriedly asked. "Is something wrong?"

Rosiepuff has a theory but she didn't want to make Primrose nervous, so instead, she inhaled and sighed deeply. She smiled at her. "Nothing's wrong, my dear. Nothing at all," she sipped her tea before continuing. "But you know, I seen this before with Olivia and...I went through the same thing many years ago."

"What did you went through?" Primrose wondered, taking a bite from the fruit.

"It's unmistakable, dear. Olivia, Ivy, and including myself had the same look every woman gets when they know that they had become something more. Something greater than even a queen," she said, reminiscing every detail while stealing a look from Primrose. "We become tranquil. Our eyes are soft and warm. Though the others might not see it, they can certainly even feel that we're smiling. It's the smile we wear when regarding a precious secret. And now that someone like Olivia is living for others as well as herself, she's eating quite well." Primrose took a bite from the fruit she's eating, proving Rosiepuff's point. "And every now and again, for no reason other than we're so happy with ourselves, we sigh."

Primrose sighs deeply in content. "I think you're right, Rosiepuff. I think what you say is true. I've seen this with Olivia before. But I don't understand what does that have to do with me."

Rosiepuff sets her teacup down and held her hands together, but her smile only grew larger. "Primrose... I think that you just made me...a grandmother."

Primrose drops her fruit in stunned silence. "What?"

"I think, or should I say believe, that you're going to have a baby."

Primrose tried to speak but shocked by all this, she fainted on the table.

After the wedding, which was a total success, the reception party came along. Trolls were having the time of their lives, just like they did with Wood and Primrose's wedding. Some were dancing, some were talking, and a few were eating and drinking punch.

Wood was on the table, watching the whole party and seeing Shiningstar dancing with his new wife Amethyst. They make a beautiful couple, meant for each other. He deserved it after all he endured last Trollstice. He may have lost a father, but he gained a loving wife in the end. Wood was happy for them, still, he was worried for Primrose. Is she okay with his mom back home?

While pondering over that thought, he didn't noticed Joy walking towards him. "Great party, huh, Wood?"

Wood became startled, almost spilling his punch. "Oh, Joy! I didn't see you. What's up?"

"This party is great, right?" Joy asked.

"Oh, yeah," Wood nodded. "You did a fantastic job and by seeing the couple, I know that they love it as well."

"Is something bothering you? For a troll who is the groom's best man, you seemed to be not enjoying the party," Joy asked with concern in her voice as she sat down next to him.

"It's Primrose. She felt sick last night and this morning, I found her throwing up in the toilet. I was willing to be with her and miss the wedding, but she couldn't bare the thought of me missing the wedding for her. I feel like a terrible husband to her."

"You're not a terrible husband. She wanted you to go and you fulfilled her wish. She knows you care about her and that's all that matters," Joy patted his back. "Where is she now?"

"She's back home with my mother. For now, I believe that they're okay since I haven't heard any word from them. That's a good sign for now because if I had, that would mean that something's wrong with Primrose," Wood explained. "I hate to leave early, but I think that I should go and check on her."

"Wait! How about I go instead? Primrose's my best friend. You go enjoy yourself and I'll check on Primrose," Joy offered.

"I couldn't ask that to the queen," Wood said.

"I insist. It's no trouble for me," Joy insisted.

Wood thought for a moment. Joy and Primrose have been close for years. He guessed that she might provide support while he was gone. "I think it's okay. Give my love for Primrose and tell her that the moment the party's over, I'll head straight home."

"You can count on me, Wood." She got up from her chair and saluted him playfully. "It would be my greatest honor."

"Thanks for everything, Joy," Wood thanked her.

Joy nodded and then headed to Primrose after telling King Peppy about her leaving so soon.

A while later after leaving the wedding, Joy arrived at Primrose's place. Rosiepuff greeted her and let her make herself at home. Joy explained how the wedding and reception went so far and that Wood is fine. He's still worried about Primrose, but made sure to not let it completely consume his mind while enjoying the party. Rosiepuff was happy to hear that and then led her to Primrose who was in the kitchen, staring blankly at her teacup.

"Hey, friend, how are you feeling?" Joy asked.

"I'm fine for now, thanks for asking and for coming," Joy said kindly. "I could use some friendly company, not that Rosiepuff wasn't enough."

"That's good. At least Wood would like that."

Joy sat in front of her and started a conversation with her. They began to talk about the wedding. "Just so you know, the wedding was a success! Wood's was perfect being the best man and Shiningstar couldn't be happier. Well, except he's gonna be now that Amethyst is his wife!" She laughed. Primrose giggled slightly, but not looking away from her cup. "Everyone was happy, Starlight and Coral couldn't stop crying their tears of joy during the wedding. In fact, they started crying even before the wedding started!"

"Weddings can make anyone emotional," Primrose said.

"Yeah. Hey, speaking of which, do you think that DJ Sonic and Rhythm will have a loud musical theme wedding or a disco wedding when they get married? Not that they are yet. They're still going out, which is obvious how they're always together. Those two are a perfect match."

"I don't know," she said, not paying attention.

"Well, Peppy could barely finish the words "pillow fight wedding cake" before I shut that down hard."

"That's cool," Primrose said distractedly.

Joy notices her. "I'm sorry, but are you even listening to me?"

"Yes, you won the fight against Peppy's pillow idea. I heard you," Primrose replied.

"Is everything okay?" Joy wondered.

Primrose looked up and sighed sadly. She gulped nervously and said, "Look. I got to tell you something, but you must promise me that you won't freak out because I'm already freaking out here."

"Oh my goodness. What is it?" Joy became concern. Joy knows that anything bothering Primrose is serious stuff and being her friend, she must be supportive no matter the news.

Primrose sighed and glanced. Her news might shock her, but it's now or never. "I'm pregnant."

"WHA-?!" Joy barely finished the word and her mouth was left wide opened in shock. Remembering the promise she made, she closed her mouth quickly and thought of another approach. "Amazing! Congratulations!"

"I know. This is a huge surprise for me," Primrose rubbed her forehead. "Wood's gonna be so shocked that he's gonna lose his mind."

"Wait...you haven't told him yet?"

"No."

"You told me first. Aww, Prim," Joy felt warm inside, holding her chest like a little girl.

"Actually, you're the second. Rosiepuff's the first. In fact, she guessed it before I checked. She noticed the signs. Pain in the stomach, morning sickness... and assumed that I was pregnant. Turns out it was true right after I took the pregnancy test," Primrose said, taking out the pregnancy test which had the positive symbol. "And I assure you that I'm pretty positive that I'm expecting."

"Well, that's great. You're gonna have a baby!"

"I know!" She groaned. "Look, we had talked about it last night, but it wasn't supposed to happen so soon!"

"So...this happened right after your party?" Joy asked.

"Right after we left, we sang together and danced. Next thing you know, things got a little spontaneous and we got a little reckless. All in one night," Primrose said.

"I didn't even think you could get pregnant on your wedding night."

"WELL, GUESS WHAT...YOU CAN!" Primrose snapped. Joy, taken back by her sudden change in attitude, slightly jumped. "Sorry. Great, now I'm becoming hormonal with the mood swings coming in."

"Don't worry. I understand. But this is a great! You and Wood are going to be parents, Rosiepuff a grandmother, and me an aunt!" Joy squealed.

"I guess that sounds wonderful," Primrose agreed.

"So, how Rosiepuff took the news?"

"She took it well like a trolling opening a present on Trollmas. In fact, she already started knitting baby clothes."

"Seriously?" Joy said.

Primrose pointed in the living room where the purple troll was exactly knitting blue baby pajamas and judging from a pile next to her, she's probably going to sew clothes for each season and holiday. "And that's just pajamas. Imagine the rest."

"Well, at least someone's happy about the news," Joy added.

"Yeah, but what I'm really worried about is Wood. What if he doesn't want the baby because he is not ready to be a father?" She said as small tears were forming in her eyes.

Joy comforted her. "Primrose, you shouldn't worry about that. I'm sure that everything would be fine, especially with your love."

"I don't know, Joy," Primrose said. "I mean, I always wanted children. But with Trollstice coming each year and us having only been married for a few days, I don't know if it is a good time to even start a family."

"Oh, Primrose," Joy embraced her. "I understand completely the situation we're all in with Trollstice, but life can also bring good things when we least expect it. These things are never easy and it's hard to tell when it is a good time, but this..." she pointed at her belly. "...this is the start of something new. I know that Peppy and I would be thrilled to have our own baby someday. For now, this is your time to be the best thing ever: a mother. I'm sure that Wood will be excited by this news. He wouldn't have married you if he didn't wanted a family out of this marriage. I promise you. All will be fine."

"I hope so, Joy," She happily embraced her friend. "I'm glad that you're my best friend. Thank you."

"Anytime, Prim. Happiness is inside of all of us and this time, what you have inside is the happiest thing anyone would receive."

"Oh, promise me one more thing," Primrose said.

"What?"

"That you won't tell Wood. I would like to do that myself."

"Sure thing. That's your business and it's best that you tell him face to face. This isn't big news. It's...big, big news!" Joy happily said.

Primrose giggled and she agreed with the queen. Now that she thought about it, this baby may be a blessing for all of them. She just hoped that Wood would be pleased to take this huge step in their lives.

By the time the wedding reception ended, it was well after dark. The night was filled with twinkling stars, a warm atmosphere signifying the coming of summer, critters chirping their night songs, and fireflies floating around.

Wood hurried back, hoping to find his loved ones fine and well, especially Primrose. It wasn't long until he reached their pod and when he came in, he found Rosiepuff waiting for him in her chair.

"I'm home!" Wood called out. "Hey, mom!"

"Welcome home, my dear," Rosiepuff rose from her chair to give her son a hug which he returned. "How was the wedding?"

"It was great, though I missed having Primrose by my side. Shiningstar and Amethyst were practically together the whole day and night, the trolls all danced and sang for the new couple, and I've never seen so much glitter in my life. It felt like being inside a disco ball!"

"Knowing your friend, I'm not surprised," Rosiepuff chuckled.

"So, how's Primrose? Did she became sicker or showed any discomfort of any sorts?" Wood asked his mom, feeling concern and worry for his wife.

"Thankfully, she was fine. A little weak and down-spirited, but she's going to be okay."

Wood exhaled in relief. "Where is she?"

"She's inside your room, waiting for you to return. Go to her," Rosiepuff suggested.

Not wasting any time, Wood headed towards their room with Rosiepuff looking on with a proud look on her face. She knows that after tonight, those two will have their lives changed for the better. But she decided to leave them alone for them to enjoy this soon to be tender moment.

Upon reaching his door, Wood slowly held the doorknob, turning it gently and opened the door. There she was, sitting on their bed with the lamp turned on, and looking out the window. How she looked so majestic with her vibrant colors glowing by the night sky coming out the window.

Primrose turned to see Wood, spreading a soft smile on her face. "Wood."

Wood smiled and then wrapped her in his loving embrace. "I missed you today. I was so worried."

"I missed you too. But I'm glad you're here," Primrose said, her voice muffled due to her being so close his chest.

Wood then broke the hug and examined his wife. She looked better than this morning, but still beautiful. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling good now, Wood. Nothing to worry about," Primrose answered. Wood felt relief. However, he could tell that there's something more to tell, judging from the look on her eyes. In fact, if he didn't know any better, he could say that she's glowing.

"Primrose, are you sure you're fine? You were feeling nauseous this morning and now you're better? I would say that is a miraculous recovery, but there's something more, isn't there?" Primrose turned her head away. Wood then gently made her face him again. "You can tell me anything and I will listen. All I want is for you to be without any pain or worry within you. Please tell me what truly is going on," Wood pleaded. "You know that I love you and I want to help you in any way I can."

Primrose stared at his caring eyes. They show promise and love. She clenched her hands, struggling to keep herself from crying, but Wood noticed her teary eyes. Wood became worried and wiped her tears.

"My dear, what's wrong?" She stared at him and, with difficulty, started to speak.

"Wood, I have something to tell you and I believe it's the most wonderful thing that could happen to us. Just know that I love you and always will, no matter what happens." Taking a deep breath, she continued. "Do you remember our night in the tent where we spent together under our beautiful willow tree? Where we...you know..." Wood nodded. Primrose took his hands and held them tightly, not wanting for him to leave should he find out the truth. "My dear, you told me that you wanted to have children with me and since it would soon be our one year anniversary since we've met, I finally have something to give you for it. Wood...the reason I was sick this morning is because...I'm pregnant."

Wood gasped as he looked at his belly and then to her face, taking all this news in with total surprise and shocked in his face. "Are...are you sure?"

"Yeah..." She nodded. She finally told him and now, she's afraid that he might be against it. She sniffed, struggling to cry. "I wanted to tell you soon enough, but I was afraid of how you would feel about this. About me. I don't blame you for being mad at me for this but..." She didn't finished as Wood slammed his lips onto hers, stopping her speech. At first, she was taken by surprised, but then, lets herself be taken by his act of love, enjoying their deep kiss.

Once they broke their kiss for air, Wood finally said, "My love, there are days that I'm glad I married you. And there are days where I am really glad that I married you. This...is one of those days."

"You're not upset?" Primrose sniffed.

"Why would I be upset? Primrose, we're going to have a baby!" Wood shouted happily, before grabbing her in a tight hug and twirling her around.

"Does this mean you want the baby?" she asked happily.

"Of course I want the baby," Wood said as he kissed her once again on the lips. "What makes you think I didn't?"

"I guess because you might not want to raise the baby right now and with Trollstice... I was so scared that you didn't want to have a family in a time like this."

Wood then lifted her face up softly with one of his hands until they were looking at each others' eyes. He softly said to her, "I don't care what happens or if Trollstice do come or not. What matters is that we're going to get through life together with all our friends and family. You've given me the greatest gift of our love and I will love it forever. Do you know why?" She shook her head. Wood gently put his hand on her belly, starting to feel the growing life in her. "Because it is our child. The miracle which was created and will be born by our unbreakable love." He stoked her cheek while shedding tears of joy. "I love you, Primrose, with all of my heart, forever and always."

Primrose, letting her own tears fall, smiled and embraced her love. All her worries for Wood's acceptance had completely disappeared. "I love you too, Wood. With all of my heart and soul."

Wood couldn't contain his joy so he cried and whooped around like he just earn a victory. "I'M GONNA BE A DAD!"

"AND I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMA!"

Both trolls heard Rosiepuff yelling outside of their room, but they smiled and laughed. They couldn't be even happier. One minute, they were married and now, they're going to be parents to a future son or daughter.

Proud of the happy news, they shared a deep loving kiss, knowing that their family will grow even bigger.

Hope you like it!
