"Our heir," he said as they lay in bed.
"Our baby," she said in wonder. So this was how it felt to found out you were going to be a mother.

"I guess so," she said "but this is our child, Lucius, our very first child. Aren't you excited?"
"Of course I am," he said holding her tight. "I love you." he said to her.
