CHAPTER TEN
Crap Happens
Alanna apart before they both got to carried away and took a deep thoughtful breath.
"George, I really need to talk to you." Alanna stated pushing him further from her so she wouldn't
be distracted so easily.
"Later," George mumbled pulling her against him once again and kissing her hungrily.
"No. Not later. Now." Alanna protested.
"Oh, Alanna" George gasped almost in pain. "Why now?" He asked hugging her tightly to
where Alanna was almost squashed.
Alanna struggled to breath. "George, I'm not going anywhere. I promise. Especially not
right this second. Now please, let go. You're crushing us." Alanna reasoned then stopped in
complete fear. There it went. Alanna had finally slipped up. She knew she couldn't keep such
information to herself. *You idiot!* Alanna scolded her big mouth that led to a major mistake.
*How do you expect to be subtle about this when you say things like that? There's no way to
cover this up. Now I'm definitely going to have to account for everything. To tell the truth. Yep.
There's absolutely no lie that could possibly cover this up. Unless...I could say that by 'us' I meant
George and myself. I swear pregnancy not only makes you fat and miserable, it also makes you have
mush for brains so you can't keep a single thing straight!* Alanna screamed loudly inside her head. *I
guess it also enables you to carry on complete conversations with yourself.* Alanna shrugged.
*~*Crap happens*~*
"Us?" George asked puzzled by Alanna's behavior.
She acted as if she hadn't heard his question. Alanna smiled played playfully, took George's
hand, and led him to the strong nearby tree where the two horses were tethered. "Come on. Let's
go back to the Swoop." Alanna persisted.
"Why?" George asked letting the first question drop. "What can we do there that we can't
do here with more privacy?"
"Please. I would just be more comfortable. I fell kind of strange in these trees. I get
really claustrophobic. It feels peculiar. I can't explain it. Plus, I have to tell you something."
Alanna pulled harder on his hand. Then with a hopeful look to George, she mounted Moonlight.
Almost regretfully, George mounted his horse as well. Silently they made their way out
of the trees. Alanna thinking of every possible way to bring up the subject and tell George she
was... pregnant.
Then there was George. He was deep in his own personal thoughts. He was wondering
what he had done, once again, to upset Alanna. She seemed different. Ecstatic to be with him one
second and demanding to leave the next. She went from kissing his so passionately that he was almost
weak in the knees from it to yelling at him with such fury his heart broke. He wanted to spend as
much time with her before Jonathon called her away, even if her temper kept running hot then cold.
He had always known that their relationship would be strained. What with Alanna being the kings
champion and he going from the king of thieves to Baron George Cooper with land and titles. Things
weren't going to be peaceful. There was more than one thief who wouldn't be happy with his 'abandonment'.
And what of that Bazhir that attacked him before their wedding? Did he have anything to do with what
Alanna 'had to tell' him? Another thing that had been on his mind and bothering him was, what had she
meant by 'us'? George was very confused with how things were going at this point in time in their lives.
*~* Crap Happens*~* he thought.
Inside the stable, they took care of their horses in a hushed silence. Alanna finished first.
After all she had had a lot of practice, being a page/squire for eight years. Alanna went over and quietly
helped George finish grooming his strong gelding. After they finished, Alanna smiled sweetly and took
his hand in hers.
"Come with me. We have much to discuss." She informed him.
"Haven't I heard those exact word before somewhere?" George asked with a mischievous grin.
"Probably." She admitted. Hand in hand they walked through the heavy doors of their new home.
Quickly Alanna and George made their way to the room they shared. George walked in first. Once
Alanna was inside, she shut the door firmly and put a simple charm around them to make sure no nosey
servants overheard what she want to tell George. Alanna turned with a deep cleansing breath.
"What's the charm for?" George questioned.
"What I have to say needs only be heard by you." She explained with a confidence in her voice that
she didn't feel anywhere else. She almost felt sick. "I just want to discourage anyone else from hearing
'our' business."
George looked concerned. "That sounds serious. What is it?" his expression no longer blissful
but scared.
"I'm..." Alanna paused to consider her next words carefully.
