Oneshot. Hawke had waited for Poppy that day she was summoned to the Duke's office.

Everything was ruined. Tomorrow Nyktos would take her as Consort, but it could never mean anything, and it was all her fault. It was getting harder and harder to stay away from her, despite everything, but he couldn't afford to listen to his foolish, aching heart.

It's taken a few months for Kieran to convince Poppy to leave baby Coralena for more than a few moments, it's just as well that she's not as troublesome as his little sister.

It's been nine long months, but soon Poppy will be able to finally hold her baby, to take the first step towards a better future for them all.

Being pregnant is tough, especially when you're the Queen who had work to do, it's just as well that Poppy has Casteel to take care of her after a long day.

Keiran's been left to babysit his little sister for a few hours, nothing could go wrong, or could it? Luckily Poppy is on hand to save him, getting her thinking about families, the future she wants to start with Casteel.
