Alanna headed back to the palace very slowly. She wasn't sure how she was going to tell Jonathan. What if he hated her or worse asked her to marry him? And what would their majesties think if their son's heir was a bastard's child? And the worst problem of all was Alanna still had 6 months till the ordeal and until she could tell everyone she was a girl. And what if someone recognized her pregnancy symptoms and figured out she was a girl and was carrying the prince's heir. Alanna had been thinking so hard about the bad things that could happen that she didn't see the hooded stranger until she bumped into him.
"Ow. sorry about that. George is that you? Take that silly hood off. Now!" Alanna said pulling the hood off his head
"Alanna I just came from mother's. She said there might be something you might want to tell me. Is there?" George asked
"Ummm..yeah there may be something that I need to tell you. But I need to talk to someone else before I tell you." Alanna said before starting to walk away
"Alanna what ever it is I won't tell anyone. No matter what! Just please tell me!" George said grabbing Alanna's arm
"George I am with child!! Ok so let me go." Alanna said pulling her arm out of his grip and running the rest of the way to the palace.
She ran all the way to the safety of her room where she found a rather unwelcome surprise. That surprise was Jonathan.
"Alanna what is wrong?" Jonathan asked taking Alanna's hand and sat her down on the bed
"Jonathan, do you love me?" Alanna asked
"Alanna of course I love you. Why did you think I didn't?" Jonathan asked planting a large wet kiss on Alanna's lips
"Jonathan do you promise to love me no matter what?" Alanna asked before standing and starting to pace the room
"Yes. But why are you asking me this?" Jonathan asked
"Because I'm with child, you child!" Alanna said before bursting into a sea of tears
