Author: Sorry it took long to get this chapter out. But hopefully you like this one. And after this King Arthur I'm writing another, but it's a Dagonet OC. Yay! I love Dag. He reminds me of my big brother Sean. Fierce but a teddy bear all the same. CH33R$!

Chapter Twenty-Four: Love

Val sat on her bed thinking about what Natalie had said. She couldn't stand thinking about what her god-awful dad had done to her mother. She hated the thought.

"Can I come in?" Asked a voice from behind.

She turned and Lancelot was standing in the doorway.

"Yeah…come in. Sit down." She replied, and looked back down.

She rested her head on his shoulder as he sat down next to her.

"So, how are you feeling?" Tristan asked.

"I'm kind of cold…" She replied.

"Well, why don't you lye down?"

"Because I wanted to talk to you for a while…" She said, now looking him in the eyes.

"I'll lye next to you." He said with a faint smile while giving her a light kiss on her forehead.

He moved to the other side of the bed as Val stretched out on the rest of it. He moved closer towards her and put his left arm around her shoulder, grabbing a hold of her right hand, while he laid his left arm across her abdomen holding her left hand.

"I love you…" She said, but Tristan could hint that something was missing from her voice.

"I love you too." He replied. He let go of her hands and got up on his elbow to get a better look at her.

"Wha--?" Was all she got to say before locked in a passionate kiss? Tristan cupped one of his hands over her cheek, while his other was cupped around her waist.

As they unclothed, Tristan sucked on her neck. Val pulled him closer, but Tristan was careful enough to make sure he didn't hurt her still-healing wound.

By now they were fully unclothed, and Tristan was making his way down her chest, but stopped, and headed back up and kissed her on her jaw line, right below her ear. As he made his way back to her mouth, he slowly turned her, having her sitting on his waist. As she bent over and sucked on his neck, she made her lower half equal to his. He turned her back over and kissed her cheek while moving in a slow, steady pattern. After a few seconds, the pattern got faster and rougher. A few minutes later, Tristan lied down next to Val and kissed her cheek. She rolled over onto him and kissed him passionately one last time before dozing off. Tristan kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms securely around her waist before falling into a slumber like his love.

Natalie walked through the hall with a smile on her face. She went out a door and walked onto a balcony. She was wearing a blood red grown that touched the ground and the sleeves were cut short. Natalie let out a sigh and looked at the landscape ahead of her. The moon was out and the battle field was being cleaned up. The night was truly wonderful. She felt two strong arms snake around her waist. She knew it was Lancelot and leaned back into his touch. He rested his chin on her shoulder and Natalie smiled.

"Where's Tristan?" he asked.

"With Valerie. And I don't want to know what they're doing." Natalie responded.

Though she was smiling because out something else. She found out that she was pregnant. Natalie has always wanted a child. And now she is going to have one. Ad with the man she loves.

"Can I ask you something?" Lancelot asked.

"Yes." She answered.

"Will you marry me?" he whispered in her ear.

Natalie turned to look him the eyes and smiled and nodded.

"Yes." She replied and kissed him.

He put his arms around her and Natalie wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I have news myself." Natalie said breaking away from Lancelot.

"And what news is that?" he asked.

"I'm with child." She said and smiled.

Lancelot smiled.

"That's great." He said and kissed her.

"You're going to be a dad and I a mom." She said and Lancelot still smiling pulled her into a passionate kiss in the moon light.

It is a perfect night.

Author: So much good news. A marriage and a kid all at the same time! I'm happy that I added that stuff. The next chapter will focus a little more on Dag and Evy and Galahad and Sabina. Please review.
