Thanks for all the reviews I have gained through all those that have read my stories! I shall now cont. this story.







Lorina stared over the balcony of Janos's retreat as the snow fell around her.

"Honey, you shouldn't be out here. We must think of the baby now."

Lorina turned and smiled at Janos, who came up behind her and placed his hands over her swollen stomach. It had been many months since they had found out they were going to have a baby. And both were hoping that it would be born soon.

Kain had given them a beautifully carved crib for the baby. Gold and silver were made into the wood of the crib and it didn't squeak when it was rocked.

Vorador was already planning the child's lessons, because Janos had named Vorador their child's teacher, based on the history of the Cabal. Both Janos and Lorina chuckled as they listened to him as Kain rolled his eyes.

There had been no sign of Razor in the past months but everyone expected that once the baby is born that they would be seeing a lot of him.

Lorina walked, still gracefully even in her state, to her chair by the fire. Janos followed her, watching her every move like a hawk.

As Lorina sat down, Janos sat on the floor by her and laid his head on her knee. They spent the better part of the night staring at the golden flames and the glow that danced across the floor.

Servants would walk in every now and then to check on them, to see if they needed anything then they would leave.

"Janos, do you think our baby is safe?"

Janos, breaking out of his thoughts, looked at his wife.

"My dear, all of our friends are here, are baby is safe. Nothing should happen to our offspring."

She nodded and leaned back in her chair.

"Good, all I needed was alittle reassurance my love."

Janos smiled into her leg and looked up at the ceiling which held paintings of their winged race. It had been so long since he had seen his own parents that he had forgotten what they looked like. This thought made him slightly sad as he got abit closer to his wife.

'I will not lose my family. I will never leave them. We will always be together. Forever.'

He just didn't know how short forever was.







How did you like the chapter? I know it was short but it's abit late. I'll write more next time if you give me reviews.
