CHAPTER 33.
'' So he really is gone. '' Adora spoke and then took a deep breath shaking her head. '' I ... I know he was a villain, he tried to destroy us, but ... '' She paused a little. '' I don't believe it yet. '' She was lying on the bed in the palace infirmary with her daughter in her arms.
Hawk sat next to her and hugged his wife, placing his chin on top of her hair as he hugged her. ''I know.''
Adora wiped away the tears and turned her attention to her daughter, who continued to sleep in her arms. '' At least she is safe ... ''
Hawk looked at his daughter, sound asleep and smiled slightly.
'' And in eight months she will have a little cousin to play with. '' He added trying to change the subject, earning a laugh from Adora.
'' I don't think I'll ever forget Adam's reaction. '' She looked at Hawk with a smile.
''How to forget? He fainted!''
The two laughed together and Adora felt a slight stir in her arms. The two were quiet and looked at the girl, who just turned a little, as if to settle, and went back to sleep. '' I wonder who she got the heavy sleep from. '' Adora looked sideways at Hawk.
'' I don't know, I think about you. '' He spoke jokingly, knowing full well that she was talking about him.
'' Good morning! '' Lohni exclaimed a little loudly and was silenced by Adora and Hawk. ''Sorry."
'' What is it, old friend? '' Adora asked.
'' I've come to tell you that the masked men who escaped have just been captured, the rebels have helped us a lot with that. Your brother came up with the idea of banning them to the black hemisphere. ''
'' The mountain of the serpent? '' Adora raised an eyebrow.
'' He-man removed any technology present in the place. The construction of the wall within a radius of 1 kilometer of the mountain will be done by magic as soon as everyone goes there. ''
'' And what guarantees that they won't be able to escape? '' Hawk asked this time.
'' The combined magic of the Sorceress and Leandra. The powers of the masked men were greatly eroded when you returned our reality, it will take at least twenty years to recover, so we only need to move the wall every ten years to strengthen it. ''
The two looked at each other. It seemed like a solid plan.
'' And why are you here? '' Adora asked.
'' The king asked you to give your point of view on this. ''
'I think it's risky, but everything is risky when it comes to Adam and me. But we can't risk sending them to the prison planet and they find Hordak and the members of the horde we banned there. Then you can go ahead with Adam's plan. '' She paused. '' Any casualties? '' The princess asked. It had been almost two years since she asked that and she really hoped she didn't have to do it now.
'' Five of the soldiers the rebellion brought, ten of the masks including James, and seven of the royal guard. '' Lohni responded as diplomatically as possible, both hated to talk about it, but it was necessary. '' Of the sorcerers, only Keldor died. '' Adora had been informed by her father that morning about this, in a way she thanked that there were not many casualties, but she regretted for the lives lost. '' Do I need to do anything? ''
'' King Randor and Queen Angela are taking care of this as we speak. ''
'' Very well, thank you Lohni. ''
Lohni bowed angrily and left. Adora looked at her husband, who was looking at the window. She really hoped things would get better going forward.

'' Oh Miro ... '' Leandra exclaimed as soon as she entered her husband's room and saw him.
Miranda looked around, there was no sign of Stefan in the room.
The queen, with the help of her daughter, walked over to her husband's bed and sat down next to him. '' You can't keep yourself out of trouble, can you? ''
He continued to sleep.
'' It still took a few hours for him to wake up ... '' A voice spoke in the hall and a man thanked him before entering the room and stopping abruptly.
'' Mom ... '' He managed to speak.
'' Stefan. '' He ran and hugged her when he saw that she couldn't stand for long on her own.
Miranda watched with a small smile as her mother and brother hugged and cried.

Days later.
Teela woke up and the first thing she saw was a faint light coming from the open door to the corridor, narrowing her eyes at the light, she noticed two shadows on the floor and whispers.
'' She will wake up anytime. '' She got part of the conversation.
'' And what am I going to tell her? How am I going to tell? '' Adam s voice asked.
:::Tell? Tell what? What happened? ::: She wondered and looked around, the curtains were closed, but the clock showed it was four in the afternoon. Little by little she remembered what happened.
'' Do I tell? '' She heard that voice again. '' Your Highness, first she needs to wake up. It was a lot of power and her body is getting used to the absence of Grayskull magic. ''
A little sigh. '' I know. '' Both entered the room after a few seconds in silence, the prince was the first to notice that she had woken up.
'' Tee! '' He ran over to her and hugged her. She returned the hug, still weak.
'' Adam ... '' She kissed his cheek and looked at the owner of the other voice, discovering it belonged to Dr. Gray. She gave him a nod and looked back at her husband. ''It worked?''
Adam nodded. ''It worked.''
She looked at Gray. '' How long did I stay out? ''
'' Five days your highness. ''
''Five days?''
'' The longest five days. But we had a surprise in the meantime. '' Adam kissed her on the head and looked at Gray.
'' Are you going to make me tell? You are her husband. '' Gray joked.
'' But you're the doctor. '' Adam replied simply.
Shaking his head with a small smile, he sat at the end of the bed and looked at the couple, especially at Teela. '' Your husband already knows and you lost him by passing out when he heard the news. Princess Teela my congratulations, you are pregnant. ''
She opened her eyes wide. ''What?''
He smiled. '' There are cases and cases. Some women do not discover that they are pregnant until two months or in very rare cases, four or five months. Others find out in a few days, or two weeks, as is your case. ''
The fright quickly turned to joy. She looked at Adam, who was smiling from ear to ear. '' And you passed out ?! '' She exclaimed in amazement. '' And I didn't see that! ''
Adam rolled his eyes. '' I'll never hear the end of this ... '' He joked and hugged her with joy again.
'' But and ... '' Teela walked away quickly.
'' The whole family already knows. They were together when Gray broke the news. ''
Gray excused himself and left the room to provide privacy for future parents.
