CHAPTER ELEVEN
You're `What?`
"I'm..." Alanna started again, unsure of what to say and how George would react.
"Ye're what?" George questioned softly minding his patience.
Alanna sighed in exasperation, "I don't know how to say it." She said flustered with her
immense stupidity. How could she had let this happen?
"Does it have anything to so with that Bazhir who jumped me before the wedding?" He
asked thinking if he guessed right, it would make it easier for her to talk to him.
Alanna shook her head definitively. "I told you before," she sated with annoyance. "I
don't even know who that was." Alanna was a little agitated that he brought that particular event
when she was trying to move on with things and tell him something rather important.
"Does...I don't know. Tell me. I'll understand." George pleaded. "Let's work through
this together."
"I'm not sure I can. I'm not sure `we` can. I made a mistake."
George looked seriously at her. He was getting anxious, but hid it well. He didn't want
to sit her playing a guessing game forever. He shook his head; flinging lazy hazel colored hair
from his penetrating eyes. "Does this have anything to do with you going to the healers earlier
this morning? Are you sick? What's wrong?" A sudden realization hit and George was worried
about what might be wrong. The healers had slipped his mind for the present time, but now there
was nothing more significant running through his jumbled thoughts. He hoped with all his heart
that there was nothing seriously wrong with his beloved wife.
"George...I..." She paused and made absolutely no move to continue with her statement.
So George pleaded. "Tell me. If it was big enough to force you to see a healer when you
yourself are perfectly able to tell what's wrong, it must be serious. Please. Tell me what's wrong.
I'm really starting to worry hear. What is this a new form of torture?"
"Are you sure?" Alanna asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Alanna. I want to know. I'm a man. I can handle anything." George took her
hand and looked her in the eye. It was such a intent gaze that Alanna was certain her could see
her soul.
"What does being a man have to do with handling things? I'm a woman, I know. And
I'm handling it...fairly well." She finished.
George groaned. "Let's not start again. Tell me. It will help you keep some sanity. It's
not good to bottle things up."
That did make a lot of sense Alanna reasoned. All right." Alanna took a deep cleansing
breath. "I'm.......pregnant."
George's jaw dropped. "Ye're what?" He managed.
Now that it was out in the open, there was no going back. Alanna forged ahead. "I'm
with child." She said plainly.
George's mouth remained agape. Then he jerked his head in disbelief. "Well I can deal
with almost anything." He rasped in shock. This was rather unexpected and stunning news.
"I'm so sorry!" Alanna stammered on the verge of tears.
"Sorry!?" He exclaimed. "For what?" George jumped to his feet and pulled Alanna up as
well. He engulfed her in muscular arms that resulted in a fierce hug.
"George..." Alanna tried to explain.
"This is wonderful!" He place his large calloused hands on her slowly growing belly. She
was after all almost, but not quite three months along. "Baby Lioness's!" He whooped in ecstasy.
"I thought we were going to wait a year?"
"So did I." Alanna mumbled.
George was too involved in his own joy to notice Alanna's obvious gloom. "Oh! This is
incredible!" He gathered her closer in his arms and swung her gracefully in a circle. "I love ye."
He said placing her back on the floor and kissing her full on. Alanna was almost overpowered by
the drive of his kiss. "And to think," he stated with a mild laugh. "Ye were nervous about telling
me!" Without any warning, George left her side. He made his way to the door and threw it open
lacking any regard. George rushed into the hall, "We're having a baby!" He bellowed for the
world to hear. People all along the corridor turned his way. Heads made their way out of door to
investigate the commotion. Guests that had stayed at the Swoop after the wedding shook their
heads at the display. Some were happy to hear the new; others disapproving. They knew that
Alanna had to have been with child before the wedding and not have told her husband for her to
know so soon after their union. This young couple was in for quite a trip. Little did everyone
else know, and George included, that the baby was not his.
