A/N- ok just to say basically I have skipped quite a bit cause Alanna needs
to have the babies soon. Woops I just gave away some of the story.oh well!
The Goddess bares a gift
Alanna pulled herself from her chair with quite a bit of difficulty. Now she was six months pregnant. Her petite body was finding hard to bear the huge weight and she was guessing twins ran in her family. (A/N- remember I am making up her children.) She made her way to the soon to be nursery and smiled. The interior was painted pale blue with a beautiful assortment of mythical creatures placed on. There were unicorns, griffins, dragons, centaurs, mermaids and many more that Alanna couldn't quite remember the name for. In the corner were two cots. Both were carved from willow and had a varnish lacquer on them. Alanna moved her hand over the smooth finish and smiled. She never realized how wonderful being pregnant could be.
Behind her a great shadow appeared and two hands pulled her into his masculine body. Alanna turned and looked into her husband's green-hazel eyes. "Admiring the nursery are ye lass?" George grinned at her and bent down. He embraced her in a passionate kiss. (A/N- I like fluff very much!)
"So what if I was. I'm just more excited then I thought I would be." At this George's eyes gave a mischievous twinkle and Alanna immediately knew what he was thinking. "That does not mean I will be getting pregnant again soon!"
"Whatever ye say my lass. I need to go do some paperwork for Jon. I'll see ye at dinner though." He kissed her again then let her go and walked back up the marble steps. His footsteps echoing around the almost empty room. With that Alanna sighed and left the room to find something to be done.

Jon sat at his desk thinking hard. He needed an excuse to get George out of the way for a few days and Alanna to the castle. At the moment it didn't seem that hard. The boarders of Tortall were being raided by Scanrans. They hadn't declared war though so for now all Jon could do was get all the information he could. Jon now had a reason to send George off for a while but he didn't know how to word his meager excuse to see Alanna. If war hadn't been declared then it didn't seem necessary for Alanna to come to the castle and she might see through him. Oh well, thought Jon. She won't say anything. With that he wrote a long letter explaining everything.
He called for a servant to take it to one of the messenger birds and it was to be taken to Pirate's Swoop. With that Jon slumped back into his chair and seemed rather happy with himself. He would be able to see Alanna again, even if she was pregnant with George's child!

Alanna made her way slowly up the steep steps to her room. She could hardly make the trips anymore but she somehow manages without any complaints. As she entered her room she gave a small shriek. On her bed was a peregrine falcon; well she assumed it to be. Alanna quickly calmed her beating heart after realizing it must be a messenger bird. She offered it her hand and it climbed on. She felt it's sharp talons against her skin and slowly pulled the letter from its metal anklet. She thanked the falcon and it immediately rose and made its exit.
The letter was addressed to George and her. She decided it would be rude to read it without George but when she found she couldn't stand she read it anyway. By the time Alanna had finished her eyes began to fill with tears. There was news of Scanran thieves at Tortall's borders. George was going to be putting his life at risk to find information for Jon! Alanna's face was now red and blotchy as she convulsed in the tears.
George came through the door and came to comfort his wife. "What's wrong lass?" Alanna unable to speak handed him the letter. His face became much paler and though he kept a grin on his face she could see his heart was sinking. He was scared, thought Alanna. It wasn't a comforting thought. He grinned weakly. "Don't worry ye'self lass. I can take care of myself. Everything will be all right." He brought her close to his chest and stroked her cheek softly. Slowly her tears slowed and stayed in his arms just because she liked his touch.

Alanna woke suddenly not knowing why. She turned from the window to George's side of the bed and immediately realized why she had awoken. He's gone, she thought. Know I'm all alone.
Suddenly the hairs at the back of Alanna's neck prickled up. In front of her something was materializing. It was a very tall slender woman with perfect pale, rose skin. "Goddess!" Alanna jumped out of bed and bowed to the Goddess. She looked into the violet eyes, which were much like hers.
"My daughter I come with a gift for you and your children." Alanna opened her mouth to speak but the Goddess stopped her with her mighty and wondrous yet terrible voice. "Yes Alanna you will have twins but I come here not to tell you that. I come baring a gift for you my daughter. Here I hope you will find this of use." Alanna was handed a large hexagon shaped jewel that shined with all the colours of the rainbow.
Alanna opened her eyes wide. "This is a black opal, why did you give me something this expensive?"
"Kitten, don't worry. When the time comes you will know what to do with it." This time a man spoke. Alanna recognized not only that voice but also the nickname he had given her. Next to the Goddess materialized a man.
"Liam!" Alanna ran forward to hug him and stepped back slowly. Tears welled at her eyes and she was battling very hard to keep them back. "Thank you great Goddess." Alanna bowed very low again and the Goddess lowered her head. Then the two disappeared. When Alanna was certain the two had gone she began crying again in her bed and held the black opal close to her inflated belly.
A/N- ok well I know people can't come back from the realms of the black God but because Liam saved the king and lots of other people he was rewarded and allowed to come back. Please review!
