Amari awoke and looked to her right to see Phobos sleeping deeply. She smiled as she propped herself on her side and watched him breathe for a few minutes. She couldn't help but run her hand up his stomach and to his chest. She knew he would wake up at any moment and grab her hands roughly, making her stop; but he didn't. Amari continued to smile as she ran her hand up and down his chest and stomach, slowly.

It was a long night. Passionate. And he was out cold.

Amari stopped feeling his chest and lied down beside him, putting her left arm over his body. She hugged him gently as he took in a deep breath and opened his eyes.

"Good morning my prince." she said with a smile.

Phobos looked at her then sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Amari sat up with him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"Get off." Phobos said as he pushed her away, "You're night is over."

Amari watched as he climbed out of bed and put the bottom half of his clothes on, "Why are you so upset?" she asked as he walked to the balcony.

He was silent.

Amari got out of bed, wrapped in his bed sheets, and walked over to him, "What's the matter, my Lord?" she asked as she hugged him from behind, "Did you have too much to drink last night?"

"I didn't drink anything last night." he said as he walked away from her, "Now go and don't forget to drink the serum."

Amari stood there in his sheets, staring at him with a scared expression on her face. He noticed.

"What is it now?" he asked as her face turned to worry.

"There's something I have to tell you, my prince." Amari said as she walked over to him and lowered her head.

"Well?" he asked, a little annoyed.

Amari bit her lip, but continued, "The last time we spent this much time together was four years ago." she said as she looked into his eyes, "Do you remember?"

Phobos raised his eyebrow, "Yes." he said, "What does this have to do with anything?"

Amari took a deep breath, "Because," she said, fear in her voice, "Four years ago, I didn't drink the serum."

Phobos' eyes shot open, "You what!" he raised his voice and grabbed her arms, shaking her slightly.

She turned her eyes from his deadly gaze, "I didn't drink it." she said, "I didn't forget to, I just didn't want to."

"Didn't want to!" he screamed as he pushed her against the wall, "Do you know what could have happened!"

Feeling his hands tighten around her arms, Amari looked up at him with fear in her eyes, "Yes." she said, "And it did! It did happen!"

Phobos loosened his grip on her arms and his expression softened slightly.

Amari looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "I gave birth to your son four years ago." she said as Phobos arms dropped to his side.

Silence fell over the both of them for a few minutes before Phobos asked her softly, "Where is he now?"

Amari smiled, tears clouding her vision, "He's living with my parents." she said, "I knew that if you found out about my pregnancy, you'd kill him. So I managed to convince the rest of the concubines I was raped by a castle guard."

Phobos looked at her, his expression genuine, "I wouldn't have killed him." he said as he looked her in the eyes, "Does anyone else know?"

"Lord Cedric." Amari said, "He even arranged for my son to visit me often."

Phobos stood up straight, "Lord Cedric." he said as he stepped closer to Amari, "I want to see my son."

"Mother? Father?" Amari called as she walked into her childhood home with a cloaked man.

"Amari!" her mother called as she greeted her with open arms, "And who is this?"

The man took his cloak off.

"Prince Phobos!" Amari's mother said as she dropped to her knees and bowed before him, "Sire!"

Amari took Phobos' hand and lead him into a room in the back of the small house. She peeked in and then turned to him smiling.

"Shh." she said in a whisper, "He's asleep."

They quietly entered the room and walked over to the bed to see a young boy sleeping peacefully. Phobos dropped to his knees beside the bed and looked down at the boy in front of him.

"He looks like you." Amari said as she saw his expression turn to that of love.

Phobos placed his hand on the child's forehead, "W-what's his name?" he asked as he stared at the young boy's face.

"Arayon." Amari said as she leaned her head against Phobos' shoulder.

"How old is he?" Phobos asked as he took his hand away from the boy's forehead.

Amari smiled, "He just turned four." she said as Phobos stood up.

"No one must know who he is." he said as he looked down at Amari, "If the rebels found out he's my son they'll take his life. Stay here until I send for you."

With that, Phobos wrapped himself in the cloak and headed back to the castle.

Phobos walked out of the throne room for the first time in two weeks and looked at the guards on either side of the doors, "Return to your positions." he said as he watched them run off down the hall.

Phobos walked back into the throne room and looked at the table with all the preparations on it as he heard soft footsteps behind him. He looked over his shoulder to see his faithful Lord Cedric awaiting orders.

"Lord Cedric." Phobos began as he turned around and faced him, "Why didn't you tell me I had a son?"

Cedric was quiet as Phobos walked closer to him.

"I want you to take Amari to Earth." Phobos said, "Take her as far away from the portal as you can. Help her to live as a human. There she can live a normal life without harm from rebels trying to kill her or our son."

Cedric bowed, "Yes, sire." he said.

"One more thing." Phobos said as he held out his hand and opened it to reveal a necklace, "Give this to her."

"My Lord?" Cedric asked as he took it.

"Just give it to her." Phobos said, "Tell her to keep it with her always."

"Yes my Lord." Cedric said as he bowed one last time before leaving the throne room.

What the heck was that chapter about? Too short if you ask me!
I think I'm losing my touch! I don't have a computer so I'm borrowing my bf's laptop.
So that means I haven't written anything in a LONG time.
Oh well, next chapter coming soon (I hope).
