Jeb watched DG sleep so peacefully in his arms. His fingers played with her hair. " Gods help me I'm so in love with this woman. I'm sorry ,Dad. I know you liked her but ..."

DG opened her eyes and yawned. She smiled at him so brightly he knew she had no regrets. She snuggled into his chest. " Sleep ,lover. No more guilt for being happy."

" DG ,I love you both very much."

" And we love you." They fell asleep in each others arms.

The day of the birth arrived. The King wasn't there , since it wasn't a boy he didn't care. Jeb cared though. He never left her side during the long birth. He held her hand and offered words of encouragement. Finally DG's little girl arrived . She was named Jessica Cain Gale. She had raven hair and hazel eyes. Jeb watched his two favorite girls. He made a vow to himself to protect them at all costs.

Four months later DG walked into Jeb's room. She was wearing only a coat. He was writing to his dad who had now become a General but when he saw how nervous she was he dropped his pen and rushed to her side. " What's wrong?"

DG smiled nervously. " I don't know how you'd feel about this but..." She dropped her coat . She was naked but it was the writing on her belly that caught Jeb's attention. ' Your gonna be a daddy.'

Jeb smiled. " Really! Deege! " He hugged and weeped a little. " Why are you nervous?"

" The King hasn't touched me in a year. He will know the child's not his and I don't wanna touch him.I don't want him hurting you."

" I'll write to Az. We'll find a way out of here. You, me, and our kids, okay?"

DG nodded. " I trust you,love. I love how you consider Jess yours. You may not be her biological father but you have shown her so much love and adoration. More than HE has. She's lucky to have you."

" Your my girls." He simply stated. He leaned in and gave her several long ,hungry kisses.

" Don't start something you can't finish." She panted then smiled.

" I'll never be done with you." He lifted her up and carried her to the bed. He started rubbing her feet which resulted in giggles and moans from his queen. He spread her legs . " Beautiful. I wanna taste." And he did. She gasped and her hand clutched to the nearby pillows.
He suckled and licked like crazy. He felt her grab his hair. He heard her pants. His eyes darted up to her. She was breathing hard and her face was all scruntched but she was smiling. His mouth darted up to hers and consumed hers.

" In...now..please.." She panted. He obliged. When he entered she felt the burning need of desire in her belly. They couldn't get enough of each other. As they thrusted together they worked up a silky sweat and took pleasure of licking the sweat off each other. They clung together as they orgasmed and she rolled them over and she rested on his chest.

" I'm so in love with you. I wish you were my husband." Sleep overcame her.

She wasn't awake to see his tears as he wished the same thing. Neither of them knew however of the holographic recording their tryst.

Back in O.Z. ...

Princess Azkadellia worked her way through the troops. She came to General Wyatt Cain's tent. Cain was suprised to see her. Her stern face gave away that this visit wasn't bringing good news.

" What's wrong?" Cain asked.

" They're in trouble. Deadly trouble. He's planning to kill them both." Az replied.
