Manon POV

The damn fool fainted. I literally couldn't believe it. After a few minutes he started waking up and I propped his head up on the bed. In the background I could hear vomiting sounds and asked "How about we go to our bedroom to give them a little privacy. We can talk more about this when we get this" tilting my head towards the bathroom. "Um, uh ok I guess as long as it's safe for the baby" he stuttered nervously.

As we walked towards our bedroom I guess the conversation couldn't wait and after a few moments of awkward silence he spoke up "Soo... how far along are you". I answered "Well I'm 10 weeks along which is about 2 ½ months, so I'm behind Aelin by 2 weeks". He looked momentarily confused until a light seemed to go off in his head. "Ok when do you go see the healer again?" he questioned calmly, it seemed like he had gotten used to the idea of being a father.

"My next appointment with my healer is in 2 weeks she lives in a village about a day away. She's a Chrochan witch healer who specializes in pregnancies. Would you like to come with me?" I quietly asked as we sat down on our bed. We had reached our room and I was getting tired. He just silently nodded with tears running down his face. We curled into each other as I fell asleep. All I could think about as I succumbed to the darkness all I could think about was how I hadn't been this happy in a long time.

*4 weeks later*

Aelin POV

"So this is you healer? Are you sure that's she's trustworthy" questioned Rowan skeptically. "Yes, I'm sure you Territorial Fae Bastard. Now you better not insult or do anything to harm this healer or you will regret teaching me how to make liquid fire" I threatened. Sure it was a little harsh but he almost broke a guard's leg because he apparently came too close to me.

We walked in and the Ailey immediately looked up and smiled "Hello your Highness. Ready for your check-up" she said sweetly. "Yep" I replied while I sat down on the examining table.

Rowan just looked confused and said "Wait, Am I allowed to stay". I responded "Ailey uses magic for the check-up".

We sat there silently while Ailey examined me until her brows furrowed together. "What's wrong" asked Rowan worriedly. "Something's up with the uterus. There's an excess of energy coming from it. That shouldn't be happening unless….." she mumbled while her eyes widened. "Ailey, what is it? Is something wrong with the baby?" I said, concerned. "Have you felt the baby move at all, have you been more fatigued or drowsy lately? Aelin, these questions are very important. It is imperative that you answer them truthfully". "Uh, ok then a hard yes to all of those questions".

At my answers Ailey started shaking her head and mumbling under her breath. She said something but it was so quiet I asked her to repeat it. She just waved me off and placed her hands on my round belly. It had gotten pretty big for only being 16 weeks pregnant but she wasn't a healer so what did she know.

Suddenly I felt a hard kick and yelped "Ow". Ailey looked up concerned and blurted out "Your Majesty, I feel 3 babies in your stomach not 1". I froze and just looked at Rowan. He looked shocked to say the least, his mouth open agape while his face had tears running down his face. "Buzzard, you okay?" I questioned, putting my arm on his. He just stared at me and asked Ailey "H-how?" "What do you mean how? There are 3 babies" I pondered excitedly. I mean it wouldn't be fun to give birth to 3 babies at once but that means I can preserve my bloodline.

"I mean it's difficult for Fae to conceive and it's even more difficult for them to have twins. What are the odds that Fireheart has triplets and survives. Fenrys and his twin brother Connell's mother almost died giving birth to them." he growled while a single tear fell from his eye. "Hey don't worry if I can survive being in an iron coffin I can survive childbirth." I reassured him. "I-I just can't lose you Fireheart" he spoke softly. I looked towards Ailey and asked "What do I need to do?"

She proceeded to explain that I'll need to be on a strict diet, I'll have to come in for more check-ups and I'll have to tell her if I have any problems or issues no matter how small they seem. We left after that and promised to see her in 2 days. It was dark by the time we got back, so we both got ready to go to sleep. Rowan carried me to the bed and laid me down. He kissed my head, laid down next to me and we fell asleep in each other's arms.

Manon POV

After 4 weeks I had finally worked up the nerve to tell the Thirteen that I was pregnant. The Thirteen and I have bi-weekly hunts together on our wyverns, so I planned to tell them on our way back from our hunt.

Our most recent hunt had gone very well so we were all in a good mood and I felt it was the perfect opportunity to tell them. We were all silently riding when I spoke up "Remember a few weeks ago when I went to the healer and all of you wanted to know the reason for the visit." They all nodded and Asterin questioned "Are you planning on telling us right now".

I sighed and said "A few weeks ago I was starting to feel sick. I was vomiting everyday and so I thought I just had a stomach bug until the healer told me otherwise….I am pregnant..with a witchling". At my final words everyone looked taken aback. Asterin looked like she was going to cry, Sorrel and Vesta looked shocked, whilst Ghislaine just looked like she knew all along.

Before anyone could say anything, we had arrived back at the castle and so we landed. As soon as my feet touched the ground Asterin ran over and hugged me. She had tears in her eyes and whispered "I am so happy for you". I just hugged her back as every single one of the Thirteen joined in. Finally, Asterin stepped back and said "You can't go on hunts anymore. It's not safe for the witchling".

I responded "I know and that's why i just told you. My healer is a Crochan witch who specializes in pregnancies and she said that I'll have to stop most physical activity in a few days. I'm also going to start showing any day now so this seemed like the best time to tell you. Sorry, but I need to go. Dorian is expecting me back soon and he's been overly protective recently". I started walking away as they waved good-bye. They all headed to their respective homes. I walked through the doorway of my bedroom to find Dorian laying on the bed reading a book, and apparently waiting for me. He looked up and asked "Where have you been? I've been waiting here for you. Do you know how cold it is out there? It could have hurt the baby".

Throughout his entire little rant his eyebrows started furrowing together and his face was getting paler and paler. I just put my nightclothes on, laid down next to him, and gave him a kiss. "I apologize for worrying you but I can take care of myself and your being unreasonable".

"I know, I know, It's just..I worry and I want you to be safe. Both of you" he whispered as he put his forehead to my stomach and then kissed it. We both fell asleep and I couldn't help but think of how much I couldn't wait to meet my child as I lay in bed waiting for tiredness to take me over.

AN: So that's it for chapter 2. I've been trying to make the chapters longer but I'm new at this. Please Review it'll help me improve and tell me I should write another chapter
