Heya! I need help, I can't decide whether this should be an AxJ or an AxG, I'm swaying towards one at the minute, (not saying which), but it would be nice to know what people think… I am prepared to change it if I get enough support, so please review and vote for your favourite pairing!

Four months later…

Jon was sitting at a desk in his study when a page knocked timidly on the door. He came in and stood trembling before the King, seeming to have forgotten his message. Jon glanced up and had pity on the young child, "Hello, its Anders of Mindelan isn't it?" The page nodded his head in agreement, Jon had to hid a smile, it looked very much like the boys head was about to wobble off. "Do you have a message for me?"

"Ohh." Anders turned a bit red and handed King Jonathon an envelope, before turning and trying to flee, "Wait", Jon smiled and tossed a gold noble to the page, who mumbled his thanks and ran.

He leaned back in the chair, running a hand through already tousled hair and groaned, he could already guess what the letter in his hand contained. It was addressed to him in a slanted writing and could only be from the Lord of Stone Mountain, a well known conservative.

Jonathon thought back over the last couple of months, as Alanna's bump had grown more pronounced so had the rumours and calls for her resignation. He had previously had to order several conservatives away from the palace after they had threatened her. Despite his promise, he had made her swear that she would not duel anyone on personal grounds, she had been mad at him for weeks, luckily George had been on his side. At the thought of George his frown deepened…

If only he could be sure that the baby was George's and not his. It wasn't that he didn't love Alanna, he did, but he had responsibilities, Roald had just turned three and Kalasin one, not to mention that it would devastate Thayet, whom he loved almost as much as Alanna.

He sighed and allowed himself to slip into a daydream where circumstances had been different and he and Alanna could have looked forward to the birth of their first child, not prayed that it was someone else's… He was interrupted by a small child with jet black hair and eerily familiar blue eyes jumping up and down and crying out "Papa", he smiled and bent down to pick up his son, he would do anything to protect the child from harm, and if Alanna's baby was his he'd do the same for it, even if it was just from the perspective of an over protective Godfather…

Thayet was gently bumping Kally up and down on her knee, much to the small girls' delight, which she was showing by throwing back her petite head and giggling, when a rather large Alanna walked / ambled into the nursery.

Alanna took one look at the smiling mother and child, (Jon's little girl) and felt a cold hand squeeze her heart, because of her one mistake this small family could be torn apart forever, and yet no matter how many times she tried she wasn't sorry that that night had happened, in some small niche of her heart she still had feelings for Jon, it was just that her love for George was stronger, it just had to be!

Just then Thayet looked up and caught sight of her friend, "Alanna, hello, would you mind holding Kally for just one second while I run to the privy?" Alanna barely had time to say of course not when the princess royal was dropped into her arms and the queen had left. Kally eyed her favourite godmother; she cooed gently and tried to play with the Lionesses auburn hair.

The Champion in question was trying her best to cope with a squirming child and a large stomach when she heard laughing coming from down the corridor, almost as soon as she registered this Jon strolled into the room talking animatedly with his small son. "Jon help! I'm going to drop her!" Jonathon's head snapped up and it was all he could do not to smile, at the sight that greeted him, his son however had none of his problems and burst into laughter "Alanna you're not going to drop her, just adjust your arms like this…"

He placed a warm hand on her elbow and Alanna tried not to shiver at his touch, he must have noticed because a small frown appeared on his brow and he stepped back, a quizzical and almost hurt look in his eyes, she blushed but thankfully was saved an explanation by Thayet's entry.

The rest of the day was spent in pleasant company, Jon left, muttering something about reports and Thayet and Alanna were left to chat well into the night.
