Nothing has been changed, i just wanted to fix the lines that separate the scenes...
DG gulped.
She was both looking forward to this conversation and slightly dreading it. They were going to have to talk about everything. What they were going to do, how they felt about each other and what all of this meant to them. It was a little nerve racking.
She had feelings for Cain - for Wyatt. (She supposed if she was going to have his baby she might want to get used to calling him buy his first name.) However, she wasn't exactly sure how he felt about her. The man was very good at keeping his feelings to himself. She knew he cared for her she just didn't know if it was in a friends only way or something more. Now she was going to find out.
Wyatt himself wasn't quite sure how to proceed next. He knew how he felt for his princess, and he was pretty sure he knew how she felt about him. If he had been reading the signs right anyway. Women were often confusing creatures but DG was even more confusing sometimes. He was pretty confident that she returned the feelings he had though.
She might have been keeping her feelings secret but he was used to spotting what everyone usually overlooked. He just hoped that he was right.
Still, this whole situation wasn't one he automatically knew how to handle. DG was getting pretty good at throwing him into situations that he was unprepared to deal with. Tin Man training and experience only went so far and normally anything DG did was in the unusual and unexpected category but this was so far off the DG trouble scale that he hadn't even thought to think that it could be possible.
Which, in all possibilities, is why it probably was possible and now happening.
But back to topic, he wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to handle this. Sure he knew he had feelings for DG, feelings he believed she returned but he'd been preparing himself to make slow movements towards courting her.
He wasn't expecting DG to shove him head first into the deep end.
But he really should have figured. This was DG, and she always seemed to believe in the jumping in first looking later philosophy. He should have figured that she would never let him take his time and do this slowly. He supposed if it hadn't been this it probably would have been something else.
Sighing again he looked at her.
"So now they know. But your dad-" And at the word dad, he winced. He had seen the glare Amaho had sent him when no one else was looking. It wasn't his fault that he knocked DG up, but he knew that Amaho didn't care, it was still his fault.
"But your dad brought up a good point." He said, continuing on. "They're going to have to do something soon. Damage control at the least. The people of the O.Z. are usually pretty low key but they are going to want an explanation when they find out the princess is pregnant. But they can't do anything until we decide what we want to do."
DG nodded. She could understand that. If some princess got knocked up in the other side, well newspapers would all read about the 'scandal' the next day. The fact that her parents hadn't blown a gasket like she had expected was a relief. Apparently it wasn't a huge disgrace to be unmarried and pregnant here. Even if it did cause a problem though she knew that she would still have the baby. (Besides she really didn't think the O.Z. had abortion if they thought up the bands as a form of birth control. Not that she would even think about abortion. She could never do that to baby inside her, or to Wyatt either.)
"So what are we going to do? We've already agreed that we want to raise the baby together right?" She asked, looking up at him.
He nodded, sitting down next to her. "Right. But what do you want DG? Do you want more than that?" He asked, then thinking that it was a little unfair of him to practically demand that she tell him her feelings without knowing how he felt he continued on. (Mostly because he was sure he knew how she felt while he knew that she didn't know how he felt - he was better at hiding his feelings then she was)
"I want you in my life, sweetheart. I want to raise this baby not only together but with you. As parents, as a couple. I thought I was going to have time to move slowly with this, with you, but you made it so I've had to speed up my plans."
DG wanted to squeal. She didn't though, for a couple of reasons. She really didn't think she had the air left to do it and she was pretty sure it would either freak Wyatt out or at least give him more teasing material.
"So your not just saying this because I'm pregnant right? I just gotta make sure." She knew that Wyatt wasn't the type to say something he didn't mean but she just had to get it out there and hear him deny it.
Wyatt's eyes narrowed slightly before he snorted in disbelief. "I tell you I want to be with you, practically tell you that I'm in love with you and you don't believe me?" He said and shook his head, amused now.
"Only you, princess, only you."
DG's eyes widened and she punched him in the shoulder.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" He asked, more shocked then hurt.
"I did too believe you! I said I was making sure, jeeze. Besides, you so didn't say love when you said you wanted to be together. If you had, I wouldn't have had to make sure, you jerk!" She said.
Then realizing what he had said she grinned at him. "And, I love you too."
Wyatt shook his head. "Well, now I got to wonder. If this is you before the hormones get you, what are you going to be like in a few weeks? Maybe it'd be best if I tried to make a run for it now instead of probably being smothered in my sleep later." He teased her.
DG mock glared at him as she crossed her arms in mock anger. "You try running, Tin Man, and I'll hunt you down and drag you back. Besides, why would I smother you? I haven't gotten what I want yet, so your safe for now." She told him.
Wyatt looked at her, slightly confused. "What is it you want?" He asked her, slightly worried.
"Duh." DG said, looking at him as if he were a bit slow. "Sex. I believe I made a speech about it. So I'm not letting you get away anytime soon." She told him, grinning.
"Really." Wyatt told her, amused again.
"Yep, but I figure, you should probably marry me first." She told him, slightly excited and slightly apprehensive.
Wyatt looked down at her and did something he'd been wanting to do for a while.
He kissed her.
DG looked slightly dazed as he pulled away and he grinned smugly down at her. She looked cute like that. He would have to make sure she looked like that often, his smile grew wider at that, and he was absolutely sure he wouldn't mind what it took to put that look there, not one bit.
"Well, I was thinking that you'd have to marry me, and soon. But if your sure you want to wait that long for sex, well then, I guess we'll wait." He teased her, kissing her again.
DG whimpered. She wasn't sure she wanted to wait that long. She was after all pregnant already. But she had always thought that she would wait until she was married, that's why she had put off having sex for so long.
"Well-" She started, in between kisses.
"Nope, sweetheart, you said we wait, so we'll wait." He told her, kissing her again before pulling back. It took DG a moment before she realized that she was in the hall right outside of his room.
"What? How did we-" She questioned, confused for a moment. Then she realized that he must have moved them there during their small make out session.
"You stay any longer, and I'm not going to be able to wait. Goodnight darlin' get some rest. Tomorrow we start on those wedding plans." He told her, giving her a quick kiss before he went back into his room and shut the door.
"Evil, evil man." DG whispered hotly, glaring at the door for a moment before she turned around and started walking away. After a moment the glare faded away and her face lit up. She couldn't help the smile that over took her as she practically skipped down the hallway.
Boy did she have a lot to tell Az…
Roughly a year later…
DG smiled down at the two babies sleeping in their cribs.
(That's right, count them, TWO. She had twins. The day she had found out that she had not been exactly thrilled at first. In fact if she could have come up with a better argument about how it was all Wyatt's fault, well he might have been used for target practice with his own gun.
But as it was, the only argument she had been able to think up hadn't been all that great of one to point the finger at him. It had gone something like this:
How dare your sperm bracelet knock me up with not one baby but with two! I don't care if I was the one who touched it, it was yours! And you were the one who left it out somewhere that I could touch it, therefore - all your fault buddy!
Yeah, even in her own head it didn't sound convincing. The man had enough ammo against her as it was, she really hadn't felt the need to add to it with that one. So no, she had tortured him just a little without him knowing the exact reason why. So as much as she wished, fingers were not pointed to him on that one.)
Looking down at her son and daughter though she couldn't find herself even the slightest bit irritated about having two of them. They were simply beautiful and she couldn't help but smile down at them.
It was amazing how fast time could pass. It didn't seem like that long ago that she had just gotten pregnant. But she knew during some of that time it hadn't seemed to go by so fast, instead feeling like it would never end.
It had been a busy time since the night that her and Wyatt had talked but everything that happened afterwards was worth it. Not all of it had been easy, or all good, but she could never regret any of it. During the months that came after that talk they had gotten married, and gotten to know each other even better. Sometimes they had fights or got irritated but eventually they made up and went on.
It wasn't a story book ending, and it wasn't always perfect. But DG wouldn't have it any other way. They were a little odd and sometimes a little backwards but they were full of love for each other and the two babies they had and that was exactly how she wanted things to be.
As she was lost in her thoughts, and arm wrapped around her waist, tugging her backwards into a chest gently.
"How are they doing darlin'?" Wyatt asked her, his voice low and almost directly in her ear. He placed a kiss on her neck as he waited for her to respond.
"They are great, and they're sleeping." She whispered back, turning in his arms so that she could look up at him before she tucked her head into the curve of his neck.
He chuckled gently as he guided her into their room and towards their bed.
"So, does that mean what I think it means?" He asked her, stopping next to the bed.
DG nodded, kissing his neck before she plopped onto the bed so she was sitting down and looking up at her husband.
"It means." She said, grabbing his belt loops and pulling him down to her. "That you are just going to have to take one for the team." She teased.
"Well, if I must." He teased back, kissing her.
Yep, DG was happy with her life. And really, why wouldn't she be?
She had a husband who loved her just as much as she loved him, two beautiful, amazing children, (and no, she didn't believe she was being biased) and loving friends and family.
Plus, she had all the sex she could want.
Yep, life was good.

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed that! I want to thank everyone who reviewed, I don't think you get what it means to me that you like my story. (I check about a zillion times a day - as much as I can, and pretty much every time I get a new review I squeel and do a happy dance. Thankfully most of the time this happens in private.
Anyway, I was thinking about doing a drabble sort of thing in maybe a few weeks (or maybe sooner, who knows) that has moments before, during, and after. But I don't want to make any promises. The reason I didn't turn this into a big chapter thing and continue on with it is because I'm sometimes not the best with chapter stories but I am getting better, and I'm finally getting time to write so, it's a maybe.
Anyway, thank you all!!
