A/N: Look! TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY! If you like this story, you must be incredibly excited! So far, this is my favourite chapter! Woot woot!

It had been three months to the day of her wedding and Alanna was grumpily slouched on her bed. She was thinking about life, and how angry she was. As well as being angry, one look at her eyes could tell you that she had been crying. Her husband walked in and grinned. He was oblivious to the fact that she was upset. He walked over to their bed and laid down with his chin on Alanna's stomach. "Hi gorgeous!" he said cheerfully.

"Jon, get off! That hurts!" Alanna forcefully pushed him off, none too kindly.

"What's wrong?" Jon asked, hurt.

"Well, first of all, that genuinely hurts. And second, you'll probably damage the future of Tortall if you do that too much." Jon looked confused. Alanna burst into tears. "I'm pregnant, Jon! That's what I mean. I'm nineteen, about to be Queen, and giving up my career for a baby I'm not ready for! What am I going to do?" Jon looked shocked.

"First of all, calm down! You said you were ready for this."

"Yes, but that was before it actually happened!" Alanna was sobbing uncontrollably at this point. Jon leaned over and pulled her into a warm hug. As he stroked her hair, he replied, "Everything will be OK. I love you, and I will love our baby no matter what. Even if it was George's." Alanna gave a watery smile. Jon was good at cheering her up.

"I'm really not ready Jon. My twentieth birthday isn't until next year. This baby will be born before I'm twenty. What am I going to do? What will I do if you die in a war or something and I'm left with this baby? Oh, Jon! I'm so scared!" Jon just held his wife and let her cry until she could cry no more.

"You're sure you're pregnant?"

"I think so. I checked myself because I'm a few days late." Alanna replied.

"Do you mind if I check?" Alanna shook her head, and put her defences down. She felt Jon's magic gently probing her belly and tried to relax a little bit. "Yep! And it's twins!" Jon was so excited, Alanna had to smile. Then she moaned and turned over.

"Do you mind leaving me alone for a little while?"

"Whatever you want, honey. Just send someone down when I can come back!" Jon left and pulled the door shut behind him. He was so overjoyed that he skipped down the stairs…and right into Gary. He grinned at his large friend.

"Something wrong, Jon?" his friend joked.

"Oh yes, something is gravely wrong. Alanna is pregnant! With twins!" Jon couldn't help it. He had to tell someone. Gary raised his eyebrows.

"And how old are you guys?"

"Alanna's nineteen and I'm, umm, twenty two." he replied. When he caught Gary's look, he added, "As the first in line for the crown, it's my duty to produce an heir as soon as possible. You know that." Gary did, but he was still slightly shocked. His friend was married with babies on the way, and all he had was a girlfriend. Without missing a beat, Gary congratulated his friend. Jon shook his hand very hard. Gary could tell that he was so proud he couldn't help it. However, it made Gary feel nervous. He didn't know if Amyl had a pregnancy charm. This could be him. This frightened him, so he asked Jon to walk with him. On their walk, he asked Jon all about, well, everything he needed to know. When they returned, a maid rushed out and told Jon that Alanna wanted him to come back. Jon apologized to Gary and went off to his room.

"Jon!" Alanna practically yelled. "I love you!" She flung herself across the room and into Jon's arms. Jon was surprised, but was very happy. He had been a bit sad at Alanna's reaction to be pregnant. "I do want your babies! And you! I love you!"

"I love you too. I still do, and never will stop. You're too important to me." Alanna kissed Jon. She had forgiven him, even though he hadn't done anything. "I told Gary, "he whispered. Alanna shoved him.

"You did what?"

"Told Gary…" Jon said sheepishly.

"WHY?"

"I didn't think you'd mind, and I was so excited…and…and…well, sorry," Jon mumbled.

"Silly, I don't mind. It's just a little soon, and we haven't even told either of our parents yet." Alanna chided. Jon looked sheepishly at his wife.

"I didn't think about that." Alanna nodded in agreance. "Let's go right now!" He picked her up and carried her out the door. Alanna giggled.

"You won't be able to do that for much longer, so I'll enjoy it while I can!" Then she kissed him smack on the lips. They met their father, laughing.
