CHAPTER 32.

The next week Teela and Adam returned to the palace and went into the dining room, finding the kings and Duncan already seated.

'' Teela! '' They exclaimed and Marlena was the first to reach her.

"Thank God you're okay!" She exclaimed and after a while released the captain to Randor to hug her.

'' You made us worried! ''

"It will not happen again," she replied and then hugged her father tightly.

"It's good that it does not happen again." Duncan teased and kissed her daughter's cheek. ''Are you really OK? Do not you want to rest? I can ask the healer to come here. ''

"Dad, I'm fine." She hugged him and as she sat down, Adora, Hawk and Stela entered the room.

'' Teela! '' Adora exclaimed and hugged her friend.

Teela returned the hug and then moved away a little. '' The belly is starting to show! Wow, I know I've been away for weeks, but wow ... ''

Adora laughed and the two of them sat down in their seats. '' She started showing up a few days after the party. ''

'' You know what is? '' Teela asked excitedly as she placed her hand on Adora's belly.

"I'm going to take the exam today. Hawk and I want to pick a name soon and finding out what it is, will make the list decrease dramatically. ''

'' Actually we'll see the names tonight. With the whole family to help. '' SeaHawk commented.

"Let's just hope no one attacks anything today." Adam added.

In another hiding place.

'' They found another of our hiding places! When will we stop hiding and make this attack! "Kale asked. (For those who do not remember, he was mentioned in Chapter 8)

'' Once we have enough power. And I tell you one more time, have patience. This plan was done in the smallest details to work out. And so far everything goes as planned. ''

"Except for the fact that Adora is pregnant. None of us considered it! "Susan exclaimed.

'' And this little unforeseen may delay our plans, '' Kale said.

"Delaying or not, that plan will be completed," Caspian promised. '' Eternia will be ours. ''

"But and Adora and the child?" Susan asked. "They're not going to get hurt, are they?"

''Of course not. I'll treat Adora like a queen. Do not worry, Susan. ''

"More boxes came up with suggestions for names," Duncan announced as he entered the room and placed the box next to the others. Teela arrived shortly afterwards with another box.

'' Adora and Hawk should not be here? '' Stela asked as she picked up a box and opened it.

"No, no." Adam took the box from his younger sister's hand. '' Patience, young lady, we have to wait for both. ''

'' No one answered me! ''

'' They are already coming. I'm sure, "Marlena replied.

"Looking for us?" Hawk asked.

''Finally! What is it? '' Orko asked.

Adam returned the box to Stela and asked the couple. ''So? What is?''

Teela sat down beside the groom and smiled at the couple as they waited for an answer.

Adora looked at Hawk and he nodded. The princess opened a larger smile as she spoke. "In five months we will have a little princess in the palace."

'' IT'S A GIRL! '' Stela screamed and jumped from her seat to hug Adora.

Orko began to release fireworks.

"Careful ..." Hawk said as soon as Stela was about to jump on Adora. The girl stopped in the last second and hugged her sister carefully and then turned to her brother-in-law. "So?" She asked sarcastically and Hawk laughed.

'' Yes, '' he replied.

"And for the next five months we have to be even more careful," Adam added.

"Very careful," Hawk agreed.

'' Stop it, you two! We have something very important to decide. "Teela exclaimed and Adora laughed.

"I think you better obey her." Adora warned, joking.

The two men smiled and sat in their seats.

Marlena took the first list from the box and began to read.

"Ellie."

'' No. '' Hawk and Adora spoke together.

'' Katye, '' Teela scratched.

''It's Beautiful. '' Adam looked at Adora, but it was Hawk who answered.

''Not.''

"Amberly." Adam suggested.

The couple looked at each other. "It's beautiful," Adora said, and Hawk nodded slowly.

"A name we agreed on, at least one goes to the list of possible names," Hawk said.

"What about Anika?" Randor asked.

''Maybe.''

'Bler?' '

'' No. '' '' Yes. ''

Adora looked at her husband. ''Not.''

''OK Alright. Not.''

''Megan''

"Beautiful." Hawk looked at her.

"I agree," she replied.

'' One more for the list of possible names ... ''

Without them noticing, two hours passed and everyone was already tired.

"Leah?" Teela yawned.

'' No. '' Adora replied again, though she was almost asleep on her husband's shoulder.

"I have to agree with Adora this time," Hawk said.

His wife shook her head in agreement.

'' I think we'd better continue tomorrow. '' She stood up slowly.

"Good idea, my dear." Randor got up and pulled Marlena with him.

'' Stela ... '' Marlena woke her younger daughter. ''Let's go to sleep. Come on. ''

Everyone gave good night and went to their rooms without knowing they were being watched.

Susan watched the royal family retire to sleep. She knew the plan well, but she still worried about Adora and the child. This plan would change things a lot for everyone, especially for both. No matter what Caspian said, she would make sure neither of them got hurt, after all, Adora is like a sister to her.
