Author's Note: I've only read these two quartets. Seriously. So, tell me if anything anywhere is wrong, ok? But I DO KNOW that Alanna and Jon didn't get together in the end. But too bad, cos' I'm a A/J fan. Although, I DO know hat what Ms Pierce did was for Alanna's good and happiness. Also, I know a little about the other books, so I'm going to try and put the other characters in, from what i've read in fanfiction. If anything is wrong, PLEASE review and tell me. Their kids aren't born yet.

"Alanna! Are you sure you're alright?" Jon asked, frowning. "Seriously, I don't feel too well. But let's continue. There's only half an hour left to this meeting." Alanna replied, smiling and sitting down. The rest looked at the king of Tortall once more, listening. He cast Alanna a look and continued, pointing at various places on the map and totalling up the Scanran forces that had gathered up where. They were only a few minutes in, when Alanna stood up again, and cast an apologetic look at Jon, who sighed and nodded. Alanna ran out, and covered her mouth, looking slightly pale. Gary and Raoul looked at Jon, who looked at the door worriedly. "Do you think she's alright?" Gary raised an eyebrow. "For crying ot loud, Jon, it's only been about the billionth time she's thrown up in what- two hours?" Raoul nodded. "I think we'd better finish up this meeting and escort her to Duke Baird." Gary grinned. "She isn't going to like it, though." Jon made a face.
"Not going to like what?" A voice behind them asked. Gary turned around in his seat. "This meeting is finished. We'd better find out what's wrong with your stomach, and continue once you've gotten the all clear." Raoul tried to hide in his seat as soon as he saw Alanna's reaction. Her eyes narrowed. Very slightly, but they narrowed, none the less, and he knew that it wasn't a good sign. "What do you mean 'wrong with my stomach'? There aint- sorry, isn't anything wrong with it, now we had better finish this meeting, because a few people are waiting for-" she sighed, to everyone's surprise. "Fine- let's go." This time, everyone gaped. The Lioness actually- but- it was like one moment, angry, then the next, apologetic, and she was actually voluntarily going to Duke Baird? Jon nodded to the rest of the people attending the meeting, and they all dispersed.
"Let's go." Gary and Raoul nodded and helped Alanna up, who frowned at them. "I can stand, you know." she snapped. The two nodded and laughed. Alanna laughed too. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you." Raoul patted her on the shoulder. "Here we are. Go on, tell him what's wrong, and we'll stay here." Alanna nodded and went in, whilst the three waited outside and talked about the small skirmishes against Scanra and Tusaine. They were into the latest battle, when a screech sounded from inside the office. Wide- eyed, Gary looked at Jon. "Was that i Alanna/i ?" Jon nodded, shaking his head and grinning "I never thought EVER that- are you sure it was her? Raoul?" Raoul was laughing so hard, tears were coming out of his eyes. "Alanna... iscreeching?/i" He burst into laughter again, and the two watched him with amused faces, trying extremely hard not to laugh as well.
Inside Duke Baird's office, Alanna was hysterical. "WHAAAAAT?!" Her face was pale, and eyes extremely wide. Duke Baird was torn in between laughing and gettting angry at her reaction. The former won. "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT???!?!?!?!?" Alanna asked. Then her voice hushed. "I'm going to have a baby... Mithros." At that point in time, she fainted. Duke Baird stopped and opened the door. "Your Majesty! Alanna- she's fainted!" The three stopped laughing immediately. "What? Is it that bad?" Duke Baird smiled. "No- actually, it's just from shock." He said, and asked them to lay the woman into the bed. Gary looked at him. "Shock?" the Duke nodded. "I think it would be better if she told you herself, the news." The three looked at him confusedly and stood. "Alright, then. Please alert us when she wakes up." Jon told him, and walked out.
Thayet was worried when Jon told her the news. George was away, somewhere in Galla. They were just into their lunch, when a panting page came up to them and told them that the Lioness was awake. Jon and Thayet rushed to the infirmary, and saw a very confused Alanna, who was murmuring something under her breath. "Hey, Alanna, what's wrong?" Thayet asked, and put an arm around her shoulders. She looked weakly up at Jon and Thayet. "I'm with child."
He two were dumbfounded. They didn't know how to react, in all their training as a Lady and as a Knight. The rules of etiquette and deportment were useless at this point of time. All they could do was gape. And stare. Alanna groaned and flopped back on her bed. "How can that be, when I haven't even taken off the charm Mistress Cooper gave me? Duke Baird says I'm one month along."
Both the King and the Queen didn't have an answer, for once. They just stood there, until Jon spoke up. "Alanna, I really, i really /i don't know how to react. But if I tell you 'Congratulations', what are you going to do?" Alanna smiled. "Say 'Thank You', after all, that's what deportment taught us." Jon laughed and ruffled her hair. "I guess you're back." Alanna scowled. "What am I GOING TO DO?" she screamed, and covered her face with a pillow. "Tell your dad?" Thayet suggested. "Fine. Can one of you guys help me up, please?" Thayet laughed and pushed her up. "Get that letter going. I'll go with you to your rooms." Alanna nodded and walked with her. Jon looked after them, biting his lip. If the charm wasn't working... He sighed and shook his head. He had a lot to do.
Myles rode back to Corus two days after the letter was sent. "Congratulations, Alanna!!" he chuckled, and hugged his daughter. "Wonderful news. Unfortunate that George isn't here to know about it, though." Alanna nodded. "Do you know what this means? No fighting, no horse riding, no training, nothing to stress myself out with. Meaning, I'm going to be so bored." Myles laughed. "You won't be so bored after he or she is born!" Alanna made a face. "I need to talk to Eleni. She never told me that the charm had an expiry date!!" Myles chuckled again and ruffled her hair. But really, she needed to talk to her about something else. She wanted to talk about the tiny blue gift that she sensed inside her.
Mizu-chan: So, was that a mean way to leave you behind in? I'm so eeevil. But, hey, an author's gotta explore all the possibilities! Any questions, review. Any comments, review. Any flames, review. But I WANT AT LEAST ONE REVIEW BEFORE I POST UP ANOTHER CHAPTER!!!Thanks,
