Two days later Kenna still hadn't awoken she had a fever and Bash would not leave her, Mary was helping with the wet nurse to look after the baby girl.

"Mary what will I do if she dies" Bash said with tears down his cheek

"You will have to keep going Bash for the daughter you both created" Mary replied

"How can I Kenna is the love of my Life" all of sudden Bash slumped in his chair.

"BASH" Mary shouted out with her getting up from her chair and Nostradamus stopping what he was doing.

"Finally, the spell has been lifted" Nostradamus tells Mary

"What?"

"I suspect that Delphine was using her powers for no good but I didn't have the proof only that I saw how Bash was with Kenna and I couldn't believe that someone would separate them they were soul mates"

"Kenna" Bash said as he came to

"She is still here Bash" Mary replied

Nostradamus out his hand on Bash and Bash turned his head to him, "Bash Delphine put a love spell on you, you broke it when you admitted your true feeling. But now you have to kill Delphine"

"What" "why" Bash and Mary said at the same time.

"Life for a Life Delphine picked Kenna to die to keep Francis alive"

Bash looked at Kenna seeing how she was so pale and feverish; she was dying he could see that; he knew then this was Delphine's work.

"Mary, Nostradamus please look after my girls, Delphine is going to pay for what she had done (Bash kissed Kenna on the lips) I love you Kenna after I fix this I will fix us (Bash walk to his daughter held by the wetnurse kissing her forehead) I love you my little princess daddy is going to save your mom" and with that Bash left the room.

Bash retrieve his sword and things from his room and ran down to the stables to grab his horse. Delphine's cottage was a 2 day ride away but Bash wanted to get there quickly. He rode all day but realised he couldn't push the horse any further so he stop for the night as soon as the sun was rising he was up and riding again. When he got to Delphine's he stop and took a breath he needs to do this with a level head.

He knocked on her door and Delphine answer she hugged him tightly

"I've missed you Bash" she says

"Delphine let's go inside" Bash said she untangled herself from him and from but answer "Okay"

Delphine lead Bash in and started her chant, "Delphine that won't work now I'm in love with Kenna she is my soul mate."

Delphine turned around horrified, "you will love me or we will both die (she held a knife to her throat that she had been hiding). When I healed you, I connect us by blood"

Bash saw the bath full behind her, "It doesn't matter Delphine I rather die so Kenna can live" and with that Bash lunged forward grabbing Delphine and drowning her in the bath. Once he knew she was dead he pulled logs out of her fire to burn her home so he knew it was finished. As it had become night when the fire final stopped burning Bash knew he could not travel back so he slept at a nearby pub and the next morning race back to castle.

When Bash final got home late that night, he rush back to his room to wash and change before racing back to Kenna.

"Bash your back" Mary said surprised

"How is Kenna?" he asked

"Her fever broke last night" Nostradamus said, "she still hasn't awoken but hopeful soon. But sleep its late, I will check on her again in the morning"

"How is my little girl?" Bash asked Mary, Mary waved over to the wetnurse and she came over with the baby.

"My lord she has been a perfect angel" the nurse said passing the baby over to Bash so he could spend some time with her

"Thank you both for your help" Bash said looking at both women before looking at his child, "wow she is perfect isn't she" he said to no one.

Mary and the maid smiled at each other then went back to watching Bash. After awhile food was brought for all and then Mary retired for the night to go back to her husband for the first time in several days, leaving the nurse and Bash to look after Kenna and the baby.

The next morning Kenna began to stir, Bash saw this, leapt of his seat and sat next to her on the bed. He grabbed her hand, "Kenna sweetheart please wake up" he said.

"Bash" she said mumbling waking, "what happen"

"oh Kenna you gave birth"

"it wasn't time" kenna cut him off, "oh my God my baby is dead, it was to early" and she started to cry

All of sudden there was a baby cry, Bash got up and walked to the crib picking up their child and walked back to Kenna.

"our child was early but by only 2 month she is beautiful Kenna and has my eyes" Bash said as he put their baby in her arms as she move herself to sit up.

"How?" Kenna said in shock

"That night we took all our passion out on each other after another fight about Antonio" Bash said smiling at her and continued, "I was an idiot Kenna if I had my wits about me I should have ordered a midwife to check you out first and we would of found out you were further along. Please let me finish Kenna (he saw her about to speak), it was me who ruined us first I pushed you away when I should off been there for you. Looking at our daughter I swear on her life I will spend the rest of my life asking for forgiveness and loving you the way you should be loved because I love you Kenna you are my soul mate"

"Bash" Kenna said looking at their daughter, "I want to say yes I forgive you but I can't what about Delphine or what about the next time you ignore me and someone else flirts with me. Or you go back out to be Master of horse and hunt and away from us for days, weeks or month"

"Well, that won't be happening Kenna" Francis said walking in with Mary. Mary smiled and walked up to Kenna and hugged her

"Huh" Bash said frowning at his brother

"You're not arguing now Baron Sebastian. I'm still angry that you choose to save my life over someone else and now we realise that person was Kenna that was marked for death (Francis looked at Kenna as she looked shocked)." Francis said

"I'm soo sorry Kenna it was my fault" Bash replied

"And mine" Mary said

"But Bash saved you Kenna by ending Delphine's life he choose you over her" Francis over talked them to not lose them to their emotion

"I would give my life for you Kenna" Bash said quietly Kenna heard that and her heart beat rapidly as she looked at him.

"Well hopefully that won't happen for a long-time brother and since Kenna and your child will need constant care until they are full healthy you will no longer be my deputy ("What" Bash said). I have made you a Prince of the Valois family something that our father should of done but since you can never inherited the throne your family will be Duke and Duchess of Anjou"

Kenna looked down at her daughter her thought were confused and then her daughter started to cry, Bash got up to take their daughter back to the wet nurse

"No" Kenna said, "can I please feed her" she begged Bash.

"Are you sure you have only woken up." Bash replied

"your grace, I will sit with her Grace and see if your daughter will feed" spoke the nurse.

"Boys can you leave us so we can help Kenna" asked Mary.

Bash and Francis headed out the other door for some fresh air.

The nurse helped Kenna to feed her child once the child was settled and feeding Mary asked, "Kenna what are you feeling?"

"I'm overwhelmed Mary I thought I had months left and now I'm a mother. My child who I wish belong to Bash does belong to him, I was dying because of his girlfriend"

"Kenna this is your second chance forgive him, he stayed by your side as you gave birth. He has not left this room whilst you were ill, he took on the duties of a father looking after your and his child. And when he found out the reason for you dying he did not hesitate he killed Delphine because he couldn't live with out you. Now how do you feel now"

"I remember him staying with me when I was giving her birth, the midwife told him out but he refused he said he was staying. He was my rock during the birth" Kenna looked down saw her daughter had stop. The wet nurse help Kenna move her child to the other side.

"Your grace I know its not my place but your husband changed your daughter's nappy and he would burp her after a feed. I have never seen a man as attentive as yours and the Queen is right once he knew he left to save you. He was your Knight in Shining Armour

Kenna smiled at that, "I do love Bash but I was never important to him. Thank you for the title but still how do I know that he will be happy at home with me"

"Kenna we could see how much Bash loved you, was in love with you before everything and since your labour and after he is truly devoted to you. He cancelled the annulment whilst you were sick, you will need to trust me when I say he knows now that you did truly love him for him. He was already planning if you awoke to let Francis know that he was no longer going to be his deputy and move you both to the chateau to be with you full time"

Kenna still watching her daughter feed was taking all that information in, as the baby was finishing Bash and Francis walked in, the wet nurse whispered in Kenna's ear, "His Grace knows how long it take for your daughter to feed"

Kenna passed the baby to the wet nurse so she could pass to Bash, she watched how Bash was with their daughter so attentive she knew her daughter was loved by her husband. She could also see the love in Bash's eyes when he looked at her.

Kenna started to drift off as she was very tired, Bash saw this he passed the baby over to Mary to check on Kenna

"Are you okay my love?" he asked

"I'm sorry just very tired"

"Sleep (and he kissed her forehead) we will be here when you wake" he replied

"Bash (he replied mmm) I want us to be a family, I want to be your wife not just name only"

"Kenna I love you truly you ARE my wife and I will make sure that you know everyday that I'm so grateful that you made us a family with our daughter" she could see in his face that he meant it.

Kenna fell asleep with Bash brushing his fingers thru her hair, she knew he loved her, that he was her soul mate, her Knight in Shining Armour finally.
