Notes: Wow it's been a very very long time, if you are reading this God bless you! An explanation for my absence.I'm lazy first of all and second of all I have no idea what to do with the George and his father thing. I was thinking of child abuse or alcoholism for a while but I'm not so sure. Let me know if you have any ideas and I will think them over! Thanx a bunch! Oh yeah none of this stuff is mine! By the way thanx Queenofilangees and dragon*fyre for reviewing. Yes this will always be A/G! And what is OOC? Sorry don't know the lingo. And if it's means changing a character a bit too much I admit I did. Looking back I'm pretty disgusted with myself. I think I was just a little too happy with that one joke! Thanx for reviewing again!

"I would like to make a toast to Jon and Thayet. May their child join our world easily and rule our kingdom with the same justice as his.or her, parents have!" Gary called in the hall holding up his goblet.
"So mote it be." Alanna muttered under her breath as the rich and poor celebrated the announcement of an heir to the throne. Alanna felt her skin get hot in jealously. It wasn't fair. Coram often told her life was unfair, yet Alanna had always seemed to get around unfair situations. She had somehow become a lady knight hadn't she? This was different. There was simply nothing she could do. Nothing.
It's all for the best, a part of her mind told her other self, who knows what kind of parents you and George would be. Alanna shoved those ideas out of her mind by throwing a large amount of wine down her throat.
"Isn't this wonderful Alanna?" Gary asked finally finding his chair. "Finally, there is an heir to be born. My father has been dropping Jon and Thayet hints for years now, and if I had to hear another, 'You know Jon and Thayet aren't going to live forever,' I might have killed myself." Despite Alanna's failing mood she smiled, even though Gary has turned more proper over the years he was still the excited lad he was when she meet him.
"Yes it is." Alanna forced herself to say, "Excuse me Gary the crowds are getting to me."
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry that Raoul isn't here to keep you company, do you want me-"
"No thanks, Gary, I'll be fine." It was common knowledge that Alanna hated parties and was often missing from them, even from her own. It was the perfect way for her to vent her raising anger.
The lady knight walked "calmly" out of the hall, and began to run through the Swoop. A poor unsuspecting servant holding a tray of more pastries threw herself out of her mistress's way. Alanna continued to run ignoring the servant lady whimpering over the pastries, which now made the gray stone floor very colorful. She grumbled and began to wipe up the desserts cursing all nobles under her breath. Alanna threw open the doors of a room that was located in the far east of the Swoop. She found there all of her weapons. Swords, bows, staffs, daggars, among others. With fire building up inside her she ripped a practice sword from it's scabbard and went through numerous drills in her mind. She fought a dummy in the middle of the room as if it were Roger of Conte back from the dead again.
"It's not fair!" She grunted to herself as she continued to beat the dummy to a pulp.
"We've tried for so long!" Alanna drove her sword into the head of the dummy with so much passion that would have killed any human instantly.

"My, my, Lady Knight I think you've won." Alanna sighed knowing the speakers voice.
"Yes." Alanna pushed her anger to a side for a moment as Thayet leaned against the open doors. Alanna went back to the dummy to find that her sword was firmly lodged into its head. Alanna sighed knowing it would be a battle to get back her best practice sword.
"Are you alright?" Thayet asked, "A servant informed me that you almost killed her running through the Swoop." Alanna felt a quick wave of guilt she hadn't even remembered a servant. But it left as quickly as it came.
"Yes I'm fine, I just needed to get away from the crowd." Alanna drifted towards the dummy and tried dislodge the sword from its head.
"So much that you needed to run through the halls and almost run down a servant."
"Well you know how it is." Alanna commented as she put her foot onto the dummy's stomach and tugged ferociously at the sword.
"Actually I don't. Alanna there's something wrong, I know there is. If your worried about us not visiting often, we will. Jon and I have even discussed you being the god-mother of our child." On that note the sword finally let go of the dummy sending Alanna backwards and almost landing on Thayet. Luckily, Alanna missed the pregnant woman but she herself was flat down on her back.
"Oh my! Are you alright?" Thayet asked helping Alanna up from the ground. Alanna allowed her to help, but quickly shook herself of the Queen and threw her sword across the room.
"Would everyone stop asking me that!" Alanna screamed all of her emotions finally released, "No I'm not. Your first try Thayet! The first! Ha! I should have known better. Great Mother Goddess!"
Thayet shocked by her friends outburst quietly started, "I don't understand-"
"Of course you don't," Alanna shouted, "George and I had tried for ages to have a child. Your first try Mithros!" Alanna threw herself into a corner among her weapons. Tears began to fall from her purple eyes. Thayet taken was taken aback and a bit hurt. But she knew her friend needed comforting. She walked carefully up to Alanna and put her arms around her. Alanna allowed herself to be hugged and eventually hugged Thayet in return. Yet the moment was short lived. Alanna jumped up from the floor, and helped her friend up.
"Sorry.I shouldn't have felt sorry for myself." After she made sure Thayet was standing, Alanna strolled to place where she had thrown the sword and put it in the proper scabbard "Is there anything I can do?" Thayet questioned sincerely. Alanna smiled at her weakly and replied,
"No, I mean .sometimes I wonder."
"What?" Alanna smiled once again, Thayet was such a better queen then she would have ever been. If Alanna was given the same speech Thayet was just given, Alanna probably would have just told the girl to toughen up.
"I've just been wondering lately.what kind of parents would George and I make anyway. I never meet my mother.sure George's mother was an inspiration, but I have no idea how to be a mother. And George.you know Thayet I don't even know who is father is. I don't even know if he is alive.whenever I ask him, he says that his father swept his mother off her feet. That's all he'll say."
"I understand completely." Thayet answered, Alanna remembered Thayet's own mother had also passed on. "But this cannot stop us. We always have each other. Maybe I'll be able to give you tips and Mrs. Cooper can help. And Mithros knows Myles will be the most devoted grandfather in all history. You and George will be fine. I know it." Alanna found her anger had left her and looked up to Thayet with hope.
"And who knows, maybe you'll be pregnant before you know it." Thayet replied full of sincerity once again. Alanna nodded.
"Thanks Thayet. I just hope its true." Alanna sighed softly touching her weapons that lay next to her. Thayet stared at the floor for a moment not sure what to say next. There was a cheer in the distance, reminding her of the party taking place.
"Do you want to rejoin the party? I saw those pastries George loves so much, he may steal them all before we can get to them." Thayet reached her hand out. Alanna chuckled and started to take her friend's hand when she stopped in her tracts and stared out into the space in front of her. Thayet dropped her hand confused.
"George." Alanna whispered. She looked at Thayet with urgency in her eyes, "He's scared."

Post-note: Yeah I have no idea if Alanna could do that but hey she's a mage right? And anyway her and Geroge are really connected.te he. Once again if anyone has any ideas about George's daddy let me know. Even if you have a cool name that'd be a great help. And I'll be in your debt forever! One more thing *sorry* does anyone know how to keep a story double spaced stuff like that? My stories always come out ugly! Let me know if you could!
