Disclaimer: Unfortunately I own nothing.
A/N: Sorry this took so long but it's first week back at school after half- term. Thank you to all those who reviewed. I'm glad you think I can write but I doubt my English teacher sees it that way. To anyone who read the reviews I apologise for my friend anons review.
anon: I doubt I shall ever be in need of your..er…skills. I have read it to you. Don't forget your tennis racket tomorrow and prepare to lose….BADLY!!!!!I hope. ; )

Alanna burst into the stables, panting from running half way there. Jon looked up from saddling Darkness and raised an eyebrow at Alannas dishevelled appearance. An evil smile spread across his face as he saw the perfect opportunity to tease his champion. "I had Moonlight saddled for you" he told her before she could say anything. Alanna walked over to her horse and opened her mouth to speak but Jon cut her off. "Why so late?" he asked. Alanna blushed.
"I lost track of time" she said, staring intently at Moonlights back.
"Oh?" Jon teased, "might I ask how you managed that when the whole city can hear that bell?" Alanna looked up her blush deepening.
"Stop it Jon" she said warningly. He ignored her.
"Continuing what you started at the ball last night?" he asked wickedly. His answer was a face full of water. Alanna stood by Moonlights trough grinning at the now wet king.
"I told you to stop," she said and mounted Moonlight, "are we riding or not?"
"Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?" Jon asked after about half an hour of riding a well used trail through the royal forest. The morning sunlight danced around the young leaves, leaving bright patterns on the ground. A misty smile played on Alanns lips, an unknown emotion in her violet eyes. She looked at Jon and their eyes met. An excited grin slowly spread over her face, delight replacing the strange look in her eyes. Jon raised an eyebrow, positive she'd be jumping up and down were she not on Moolight. whats got ^her^ so excited? he wondered. Alanna took a deep breath and said "I'm pregnant". Jon didn't know what he'd been expecting, but it certainly wasn't that. He stared at her in shock for a few moments before breaking into a grin.
"Wait until the courtiers hear this!" he laughed , "the ^Lioness, pregnant^! Congratulations." Alanna glared at him.
"Why shouldn't I be?" she snapped, her temper kicking in.
"Never said you shouldn't be, but the courtiers will just see the Kings Champion, the famed Lioness, pregnant" Jon said when he'd stoped laughing.
"I suppose" Alanna said uncertainly.
"Trust me. Have you told anyone else?" Jon asked.
" Well Thayet and Buri know. They forced me to the healers when they noticed I was slightly sick when I met them in the mornings." She shuddered, "^Not^ pleasant." Jon chuckled.
"Well, lets get back." Jon said, "Thayet will go mad if you're riding too long."
Alanna grimaced and they rode back to the palace.
