Disclaimer: All belongs to Tamora Pierce, except the plot that is mine.
A/N: I don't have anything thought up for this chapter. I have no idea how I am going to start it and I have no idea what to write about. All I know is that I want to write their ceremony real quick before all my ideas kind a fly away. Some people were a bit disappointed in the last chapter; sorry it had to be done I couldn't help myself. I'll try and fix it up this chapter. R/R.
Chapter 7- forgive and forget!
"Alanna are you in there?" it was Jon he'd just left and now he was probably back to say something important.
"Alanna, can I come in?"
"Nothing ever stopped you before," was her low reply.
"About before, I don't know what I was doing. I guess I was just confused. I love as a friend but not as a lover. I will never do that again. I promise." He said calmly.
"Good, because I love George, and I still want to wed with him." Alanna answered firmly.
"um, the real reason I came here was to tell you something. I asked Thayet if I could tell you." He looked at her excitedly.
"O.K do I really need to know this now, I was kind a hoping I could have a bit of time to myself." She answered pleadingly.
"She's pregnant. I've never seen Thayet so happy before. I just wanted you to know first. We want to tell the tribe but not until you and George are wed."
Alanna was surprised. Thayet is pregnant! WOW! She sat there thinking over and over what she was supposed to say to Jon.
"Jon, I'm happy for you and Thayet. Congratulations." She said happily.
"Thanks Alanna I knew you would be there for me," he smiled.
"So is everything ok now, I mean between me and you now, will that little thing be forgotten?" he asked hopefully.
"Of course, I've already forgotten it." She got up and hugged him. He left to go and tell Halef after Alanna had given him the ok to tell the tribe, as she wasn't worried about it at all.

Alanna decided she needed to talk to George. Walking towards his tent she heard voices.
"I'm not sure she will ever get over master Thom's death, not to mention the loss of faithful. They were the two closest people to her."
It was George sounding very upset.
"Alanna has ways of handling her own problem. Let her deal with them George." Myles' calm voice had said.
"Woman who rides like a man is very strong in will and heart, she will approach you when the time is right George Cooper, you must just be patient." Said Halef
Alanna heard footsteps coming towards the tent flap. Halef's face appeared looking at Alanna.
"Come Alanna, I do believe you wish to talk to George alone."
Alanna nodded whispering a "Thanks," before Halef summoned Myles.
"Come Myles let these two speak in privacy." Myles following they left the tent and walked away.
"Alanna, are you ok?" George asked
"I'm fine. I heard you talking about me."
"Your not angry?" he asked worriedly.
"I should be, God's help you if I was, but I do need to talk to you." She answered calmly.
"What is it lass?"
"But next time tell me, don't go talking to my father and leader behind my back I don't like that."
"I won't, I promise, now will you start or I?" He asked
"You, I want to know what is worrying you." Alanna sighed.
"Well, I want to know truthfully, whether or not you want to discuss the whole Thom and Faithful thing?"
Alanna looked at him, she was scared but she wasn't sure whether she was ready for George to know this. She knew she owed him that much but she just couldn't bring herself to do so.
"I was scared for them George, I loved them both very much, but now when I think of them all I feel is hurt. I just want to figure things out on my own for now."
George looked shattered; he had felt bad at the thought of Alanna not asking him for help.
"George, I promise when I figure things out, or ever get stuck I swear I will come to you first, for help or to talk." She smiled reassuring him.
She sighed knowing that she had to get something off her back otherwise she would never be able to look at George without feeling guilty.
"George, I want to tell you something. You know that I have never stopped loving Jon as a friend, I tell you that all the time." She explained
George smiled,
"What did he do? Something stupid I presume." George laughed.
Alanna was surprised, had he guessed what she had come to tell him.
"Alanna, you don't need to tell me, I know how Jon is. He has been a bit tense lately. If something happened between you and him I don't need to know, in fact I don't want to know," he smiled
"But, I .. I,"
" But nothing, he wouldn't have gone too far with ye I know that much and he is probably beating himself against a wall at the moment, for being so stupid, but otherwise I know he fixed everything and cleared it all up with you," he breathed in slightly and looked at her waiting for a reply.
" I love you George Cooper, I was hoping you'd understand."
Alanna said moving closer towards George to give him a kiss. George embraced her and kissed her back.
"Alanna, George, we are going to have a feast tonight, Thayet and Jon have just announced their first child to be born."
Realising what they were just doing Raoul laughed.
"Oh George still unable to keep your hands of poor old Alanna there," He laughed ever so loudly now. Alanna jumped up and punched him square in the stomach.
"Shut up Raoul. Maybe I like having George treat me like that." She flared.
Unable to keep their laughter under control, George and Raoul both blurted out with laughter. Alanna being Alanna being so embarrassed slapped them both and stormed out, walking towards her tent.
