Sabriel paced around the large library varies books were open on the tables but she had something different on her mind than what the Clary had told her. She was thinking how to tell Touchstone, she didn't want to worry him any more than he already worried, so she thought about how to tell him so we wouldn't worry as much.
Mogget jumped from his chair shaking his head. Her pacing and constant mutter was keeping him awake. Yawning he made his was to the door, anxious to find somewhere quite to take forty Winks.
Touchstone headed towards the library, wanting to tell Sabriel his good news.
"I wouldn't go in there." Mogget warned a passing Touchstone. "She is very late."
Touchstone shook his head, taking no notice of the white cat sleeping on the windowsill and carried on towards the library.
"Sabriel what's wrong?" Touchstone asked seeing his wife pace around distressed.
Sabriel sighed and stopped pacing. I can tell him now, she thought giving a smile.
Touchstone could see something was bothering her so he walked over and wrapped his arms around her.
"You going to tell me what's wrong?" he asked looking in to her dark eyes.
Sabriel nodded. "But I don't want you worrying any more than you already do."
"I don't worry that much."
"You do." Sabriel chuckled.
Touchstone smiled glad to see her cheering up. "So what's going to make me worry?" he asked.
"Ok." Sabriel said. "But I'm not really a hundred percent sure yet myself." Sabriel took a deep breath and smiled. "I think I'm pregnant again."
Touchstones face lit up at the news. "Really that's great news. It fits in perfectly with what I was going to say to you." He said happily.
Sabriel smiled back. "And what was that then?" she said wrapping her arms around his neck.
"A holiday?"
"Can you go on holiday?" Sabriel asked.
"Well I am now." He smiled. "How about we go and spend some days in your house. You, Ellimere and me? I think you could do with a break."
"You better not be worrying." Sabriel joked. "But I think your right. I could do with a short break." She said not needing much persuading to get away from it all for a few days.
"Good." Touchstone said. "How does tomorrow sound?" he asked
"To far away." She chuckled.
Touchstone smiled at her and bent down to let their lips meet.
"I knew you would love the idea." Touchstone said. "I'll go and get things ready."
"I'm going to go to the Doctor then sort Ellimere out."
"I'll see you later." Touchstone said letting their lips met again before turning to sort out a paperwing.
Sabriel smiled to herself in the dusty library. A holiday is just what I needed. She thought glad to let her mind rest for a few days. The trouble that the Clayr gave her was what she was working on and nothing seemed to fit together.
She looked at the books scattered around on the tables and walked towards the door. Leaving the books where they were.
She closed the heavy door of the doctor's room and smiled to herself. She rubbed a hand across her stomach as she made her way along the corridor and up the stony steps to go and find Ellimere.

A/N: Thanks for reminding me about Sam. I wasn't sure what the age difference was between those two. I may not be able to update so often for a while as I need to work on revision for exams. But I'll try and keep it going.
