*Down on knees and hails her*
A/N: I'm not to sure about this chapter it just sort of happened. I'm glad everyone liked the last few chapters. Yes I was very disappointed when they turned out too short but oh well! This chapter is longer than any of my others. Keep reading tell me if it's a bit off. R/R!
Chapter 6- Jon
After almost two days of being swamped with questions from her fellow Shamans and once apprentices Kara and Kourrem, she escaped them as they were called to work. Peacefully meditating Alanna hadn't noticed Jon come in and sit beside her, also meditating. As she opened her eyes she screamed, shocked by the presence of the Prince.
"It's only me Alanna, I am here to relax as you are," he said his eyes still closed and assuming with meditation.
"Well couldn't you relax anywhere else?" she boomed
"No I thought it would be nice to visit actually," Jon still resumed meditation. Alanna was getting angry unable to control he temper.
" Don't YOU KNOCK!" she snapped her temper ever so more rising. It was so typical of Jon to just strut in at any point in time and scare the Mithros out of her. ( Is that possible???).
"May I remind you Alanna that there are no doors in the desert, besides I used to do this all the time," he smiled obviously teasing her.
" I DON"T CARE! If I had noticed you, I could have attacked you, or even kill you!" she was beyond angry now, she was sure she saw steam coming out of her ears and nose.
"But you didn't notice me, in fact you weren't even aware of your surroundings. May I remind you that that is the most stupidest thing a fully trained knight, as yourself, could ever do." His smile widened showing his teeth.
Obviously he found this amusing. Alanna had very well forgotten about the Princes tartyness, (I don't even know if that is a word?) well Alanna had other ideas. She slapped him across the head, which to her amusement got the reaction she wanted. Jon snapped out of his meditation and gripped the part of his head Alanna had slapped cursing under his breath and then giving an evil glare to Alanna. Huh! That showed him!
Alanna couldn't help but think when was the last time she and Jon had been alone together. Every time he had summoned her she was called with other knights, and mages at the same time, and if not them then always Gary or Raoul were around.
Jon stood up after massaging his head,
" A drink?" he asked motioning for the fruit juice, Alanna nodded.
"I am truly happy for you and George. I know it hasn't been easy for you after, well after the past incidents." He handed her a cup.
How could Alanna have forgotten, she'd been having dreams for almost a month, and just the thought of such things still shook her.
"Alanna I just want you to know that I'm sorry, for everything," he looked at her waiting for her reply.
"I. I don't know what you mean Jon, why are you sorry? You haven't done anything but be the best friend that I've ever had" she answered simply.
Jon looked at her, his eyes searching; he grasped Alannas hand and whispered to her,
" You know I never have stopped loving you. It would have worked if you'd been my Queen," Alanna knew he was going to bring this up.
I'm switching to Jon's POV! See how it goes.
She looked a bit paler to him, had he bought up past events she had wished to forget. She looks so beautiful sitting there. I wish I could just kiss her! Jon was shocked at what he was feeling, he blushed uncontrollably.
"Alanna you can tell me what you want of me, I will listen," he hoped this would make her more confident in what she had to say.
"I..I...I haven't stopped loving you either Jon!"
"Oh Alanna you don't know how great that is to hear you say that,"
So full of happiness he hugged Alanna unexpectedly and even more unexpectedly he kissed Alanna, full on the mouth. Alanna froze, she didn't push him away, and she just sat there and let him kiss her. Then it hit Jon! What am I doing? Thayet and George! He pulled away as abruptly as he had kissed her. Alanna sat there still dumbstruck, no words coming from her.
"I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking,"
"Why.. why.. Why did you do that?" she asked pleadingly.
"Alanna I'm sorry, of all the times to do that I choose now, I mean I live very much but not in that, well not anymore. I think! I, I should get going," without another Jon got up and left.

Still Jon's POV!
I don't believe I did that! How could I. I need to think. Jon walked, not taking any notice of which direction he was going in.
"JON! JON!" it was Thayet and she was smiling so brightly.
She wouldn't be smiling if she knew what I had done. Jon thought to himself miserably.
" JON! I need to talk to you I have GREAT news,"
"Thayet, I'm busy cant it wait till later?"
"JON! Not something like this, its important," she looked him square in the eyes as if daring him to disagree.
"TRUST ME!"
Jon followed Thayer back to their tent and sat down on a stool.
"Well Thayet what is it?" he asked uninterested.
"I couldn't wait to tell you, but I had to make sure," she started excitedly.
"What couldn't wait Thayet?" Jon asked concern in his eyes.
" I have missed my monthly! Oh Jon I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY! Can you believe it happened so quickly." She said excitedly. Jon looked at her strangely.
"Monthly? What do you mean Thayet? I have no idea what your talking about," Jon asked utterly confused.
"I'm PREGNANT Jon! Our first child is on its way! I wasn't sure at first I so I went and double-checked. I went and saw the tribe healer and she confirmed it saying congratulations, I was so happy Jon,"
"We... We.. We are pregnant! I can't believe it Thayet. WE ARE PREGNANT!" Jon picked Thayet and kissed her laughing and hugging her uncontrollably. Everything that was on his mind before had just flown away in to mid air not worrying him anymore. He lifter her again and kissed her more passionately.
"Um Jon! I'm pregnant not you," Thayet smiled cheekily. Jon kissed her again.
