I'm having a lot of fun writing these snippets! It's fun to just imagine things that could happen and making chapters about them. This is my most recent one.

Here goes :D

NATANI'S POV

Finally!

I danced around the room with my eyes closed, tears of joy streaming down my face. I laughed out loud and swung my hips side to side and jumped and screamed and then collapsed backwards on the bed, gazing up at the ceiling with a goofy grin spread across my flushed face. But you know something, I didn't think my behaviour was odd at all.

I placed my hand on my belly and smiled at the secret that I had just found out was growing in there. I couldn't believe it; I had finally gotten the news that I had been hoping for forever! I was going to have a baby! Not just ANY baby, but Edmund's baby! Oh…I had to tell him!

I jumped up and ran to the bedroom door, I was in such a hurry to get down to the training arena! But then I stopped with my hand on the door. Wait, what was I doing? I couldn't tell him like this, I wanted it to be special! I wanted it to be perfect!

With a huge grin, I backed up away from the door with my hands clasped in front of my face. I had to get my giddiness out now before he came in for the night. I glanced out the window and saw the sky was turning red. Gosh, I didn't have much time to plan this out! I sat down on the bed to think things over for a bit.

Finally, I just decided that having no plan would be better because then nothing could go wrong. I jumped off the bed and decided I would start with dinner. After all, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!

I went down to the kitchen and informed the kitchen staff that I would need to be in the kitchen so I could make our own dinner. They thought it was sweet of me and let me have first choices of everything. So I very carefully prepared Edmund's absolute favorite things; lamb, roasted garlic potatoes, fresh wild asparagus from behind the castle, wine and tea (English style, as he called it).

"Ok, if any of you would like to help me, someone can find me some candles and candle holders." I said when I was satisfied with my cooking attempt. It looked amazing, if I do say so myself, and my own mouth started to water.

Several servants said they would be delighted and they ran off to find candles. I smiled and thought that things were working out fantastic! So I went out to find Edmund and tell him dinner was ready.

I found him walking down the hallway, rolling down his sleeves from having just washed up after sword practicing. He looked up and smiled.

"Dinner ready?" he asked.

"Of course!" I was trying so hard to be natural, but I couldn't help grabbing his arm and hugging it.

He looked at me and laughed, an adorable smile spreading across his face.

"Alright then," he said, "Come, milady, and I shall escort you hither." I giggled at his fake courtly mannerisms.

We linked arms and walked to the dining hall. I saw that the kitchen staff had already set everything out and lit the candles so I glanced over to see his reaction. He just had a knowing smile on his face and he shook his head slowly.

"I made everything special for you tonight," I said as he pulled out my chair for me, always the gentleman.

"Well, darling, how sweet of you!" he chuckled and leaned down to kiss my cheek. He sat down next to me and I saw his eyes gleam when he saw what I had cooked. "You really know how to spoil a guy."

"I really LIKE to spoil my guy," I replied.

We ate in relative silence, for I felt nothing needed to be said at this point. This was just the buttering up stage, to make it all even more perfect. When we had finished eating we both sat back with satisfied grins.

"Lion's mane, that was good, Natani," Edmund said, "I didn't know you could cook!"

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me…yet." I insinuated. He looked over at me funny.

I took this opportunity to stand up and offer him my hand. He took it, looking at me like he was trying to figure me out. Yeah, he would never guess.

I led him to the library, the place where it had all started, and pushed him gently down into the very chair her had taught me to read from and I placed myself on his lap. He looked at me with a pleased smirk and pulled my face down to his and kissed me gently. Oh no, he was getting the wrong idea!

"Edmund," I said, pulling back, "I want to tell you something…"

"Have you gained weight?"

Normally I would have slapped him for making such an accusation, but the truth was that I HAD gained weight. Well…it wasn't really MY weight, but I digress.

"So what if I have?" I challenged. He looked at me with big eyes, realizing what he had just asked me.

"I'm sorry, Tani," he apologized, pulling me pack in for another quick kiss, "I guess I just…you just looked…I think I'll shut up now."

"Good idea," I mumbled, twisting his hair in my fingers. I loved playing with his hair, it was really very lovely. "Because I need to tell you something."

"Oh right," Edmund said, smiling up at me, "Sorry I interrupted."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked him straight in the eyes. I knelt on the chair between his legs (which he looked slightly nervous about at first) and leaned in close, our noses nearly touching.

"I have gained weight…" I began.

"So you buttered me up to tell me that?" Edmund interrupted again and I sighed angrily. "Gosh, Tani, did you think I'd be mad or something?"

"Shut up!" I snapped, getting annoyed at his constant interruptions. "I am trying to tell you something important!"

He closed his mouth and looked sheepish.

"I HAVE gained weight," I continued, this was not going at ALL how I had imagined it so I had given up on the perfect, dreamy speech. "But the reason why isn't at all what you'd think."

I saw his eyes narrow in suspicion.

"Ed…I'm pregnant."

Edmund sighed and his shoulders relaxed.

"Tani," he said soothingly, "Are you sure you aren't just a victim of wishful thinking AGAIN? I mean you've thought this several times but you never are. We've been trying for a long time now and…I thought we agreed we probably just…aren't able to."

"Well," I squared my shoulders triumphantly, "I guess we've just had terrible timing before, because this time I am one hundred percent sure your first son or daughter is growing in there." I pointed at my slightly rounded belly for emphasis.

Edmund's eyes studied me for a moment before they widened and I saw those little laugh lines spread out from his eyes. I grinned right back at him.

"Tani…" he whispered, placing his hands gingerly on my shoulders. I knew he was shocked, so I just sat there and let it sink in for a moment.

"Yes?" I asked, tiring of the wait.

"We're having a baby."

"That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you…" I started planning a sarcastic sentence but I found myself unable to speak because I had been hugged so hard that the wind left my lungs. Then he stood me to my feet and took my hands, his brown eyes twinkled happily and he twirled me around with what could only be described as a Narnian version of a "Yeehaw!"

"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" he practically hollered at me. I pushed him back a bit and laughed.

"Yes, Ed, I know it!"

"Aren't you excited?" he asked, looking at me oddly.

"Of course I am, you idiot!" I giggled, "But I've known for a while now and I'm just enjoying your reaction."

He took a deep breath as he tried to calm down. He gave me a quivering smile and I thought he would cry right then and there but, instead, he knelt down and placed his hands over my belly, his eyes shining with wonder.

"I can't wait to meet you," I heard him whisper, and for some reason I found those words to be the most amazing words I had ever heard in my life.
