Confessions

Musa were almost two month pregnant but bearly didn't show at all. Today she was going to tell the Winx. She had asked them to meet her in the courtyard. Telling her friends didn't actually scare her, it felt more like an relief. When she went out the doors out to the courtyard she already saw all of the others Winx sitting laughing. They spotted her and waved.

''So what was it that you wanted to tell us?'' Musa sat besides Techna.

''Well there is something really important that I need to tell you guys... I'm pregnant.'' It didn't take long until everybody stood up screaming of joy. She was hugged from all angles.

''Oh my gosh, how did Riven take it?'' Bloom asked. Musa cleared her throat nervously.

''He don't know it yet.'' To be honest she was a little worried how Riven would react.

''You haven't told him?'' Musa shook her head.

''Well you really need to tell him dear.'' Flora said.

''I know, I know. But you know Riven, how can I possibly tell him that he's going to be a father?''

''Oh Musa darling, you might be overreacting. He might love it.'' Stella laid her arm around Musa's shoulders.

''Yeah, he might. But he might not also.''

''You can't be so negative. You have to be optimistic.''

''But we have only been married for two weeks. What if he thinks is to soon?''

''Well he should have thought about the before he...''

''Stella!''

''What? I'm right aren't I?''

Riven sat in Mista's bedroom. She had refused to speak to him about what happened that night at his wedding.

''Mista if you know her, you need to tell me or I won't be able to help you.''

''Riven, I want to be alone now.'' Riven sighned and went to the door.

''Fine, but when you're ready to talk. I'm here okey?'' She stared out the window and didn't look at him.

''Wait! There is something I need to tell you.'' Mista changed her mind for some reason. She didn't know what it was. Regret? Try to get ride of the shame and pain she felt?

''What is it?'' She turned around to face him.

''A few months ago I meet three stragers.'' She felt her body warm up.

''And?'' He sat down on her bed.

''Well they promised that they would get me what I wanted.''

''Mista what are you talking about?'' He stood up and walked over to her.

''Those strangers, it was the Trix.'' Riven's chin feel to the floor.

''What? How could you?''

''I was a wreck Riven can't you see that? I didn't know how dangerous they were.''

''But you had to know who they were. They are the most dangourus creatures of the whole magic dimention, you have to heard of them sometimes.''

''I promise I didn't know. But now all I want is to get ride of them. Icy will kill me if you don't help me.''

''But I don't understand what they possibly could give you.''

''You! I wanted you and they promised to help me get to you if I...'' She stopped at the sentence.

''If you what?''

''You know that poisen Chel nearly died of? I planted it.''

''You were gonna kill your best friend to get what you want? And I don't see how Chel has anything to do with you and me!''

''It wasn't for her. It was for... Musa. I planted it in Musa's cup but Chel dranked it instead.''

''I can't belive you would sink this low.''

''I was in a very bad shape and I couldn't think clearly.'' Mista raised her voiced as Riven's heart started to beat even faster.

''Alright we need to sort this thing out once and for all. I know you were disappointed when I got together with Musa. But I tried Mista, I really tried not to fall in love with her. Since I knew you would be back here waiting for me.'' He walked closer to her. She looked him deeply into his beautiful violet eyes but soon snapped out of it.

''But it happened. I did fall for her, and I felt terrible for what I was doing to you. But that doesn't mean I still care for you.'' Mista shook her head and turned her back towards him.

''It doesn't matter Riven. Just forget it.'' He took her by her shoulder to make her face him.

''But it matters to me. You have no idea how cold I were towards her during first year. And all because I had you.'' Mista was about to leave the room in tears when Riven grabbed her arm.

''You were the first girl I loved Mista, and nothing can ever change that. Sadly enough, you weren't the one for me.'' Mista broke out in tears and Riven embraced her.

''We are going to fix this. I promise. We are going to help you get ride of them.''

Later that evening they all sat in the dinningroom eating dinner. Musa was still thinking about how she was going to tell Riven about their baby. She didn't know at all how he was going to react. Bloom and Layla kept on looking at her and encourage her to tell him, but this wasn't the right time. She wanted to be alone with him during spilling the news. Suddenly Topaz spoke.

''So Riven, when are you and Musa planning to start a family.'' Musa heard Riven choking on his food. She turned to look at him and as right as she was, Riven had been taken with surprise and was now clearing his throat and look extreamly uncomfterble. This started to worry her anymore. She looked at the Winx which all looked at her. The horrible silence just lasted for a coule of seconds but felt like minutes until Riven finally spoke.

''Well we really haven't talked about it but… I guess that is no rush.'' Musa saw in the corner of her eye that Riven was looking at her for support but she just kept on staring down on her plate.

''Right, darling?'' He took her hand and squeezed it hard. She plucked up the courage to look at him. She saw that he felt highly uncomfterble and was in desperately need of her support.

''Right, there is no rush.'' She smiled and looked at Topaz and Miguel who both looked back at her smiling. And somehow she got the feeling that Topaz knew her little secret. How, she didn't know since she haven't even told Chel yet. Perhaps Musa had a glow that only a mother could noticed. Maybe that is why she brought it up in the first place. Musa looked over at the Winx and she could see in their eyes that they were all disappointed that she hadn't told the truth.

Musa had asked Riven to meet her out in the courtyard. She was going to tell him. She felt an obvious mix of happiness and fear. Was he going to freak out? Or was he going to just as happy as she was? What he had said when Topaz asked him when they were going to start a family scared her. She played with her weddingring as she stamped nervously with her foot in the ground. There he was, walking out from the palace, well more running out from it. What's the rush? Slow down for godness sake, the longer time you take to get her the longer she can figure out what she was going to say to him. She stood up to meet him. When he reached her he smiled and embraced her and kissed her passionately.

''What did you want to tell me?''

''Well you might want to sit down.'' She took his hand and lead him over to the bench and they sat down.

''I have know this for a couple of days, but I didn't know how to tell you. I still don't know so I'm just gonna tell you.'' Riven seemed confused and wasn't really knowing what she was talking about. And by the telling of his face he seemed a bit uncomfortable, which made her even more nervous.

''Riven, I'm pregnant.'' The word just slipped out. Why to go Musa, well done…. not! Oh god say something then. Come on Riven something will serve.

''Ho-ow… A-re you su-ure?'' Yes, just what she wanted to hear.

''Positive. And don't ask me how it happened because you know very well how!'' Riven kept his chin hang down to his knees and look petrified.

''You don't want it do you?'' She said sadly. Riven shook his head and took her hands in his.

''Of course I do. How can you ever say something like that? It's just… unexpected. I mean we just got married… and I just thought that it would take a while before we became pregnant.'' He stood up and dragged her up on her feet.

''Yes well so did I, but now this happened and then you said to your mom that…'' She was interrupt that he embraced her into an intimate hug.

''I love you… both of you.'' She couldn't see but she could swore he was crying.

''Sweetheart? Are you crying?'' She pulled away to see him. And right as she was, a few tears ran down his cheek.

''Well what would you expect?'' Both started to laugh and shared a kiss.

Riven had called for a meeting in the dinning hall. The specialists, the Winx and Yatz sat there confused without knowing what was going on. Riven entered together with Tulio by his side and a bit behind came Mista looking nervous and scared. Tulio took a seat and Mista the seat besides him and Bloom.

''Well I have some bad news. I have called you here because Trix is back.'' The room filled with voices.

''I know, I know. But there is more. They succeded to fool Mista and she has been working for them since.'' Everybody turned to Mista and stared at her angrily, except Yatz who were confused.

''Who's the Trix?'' He asked.

''They are these cold-hearted, power obsessed witches. They have been our arch-rivals from the very beginning.'' Bloom explained for him.

''But why did you fall for their lies Mista?''

''I didn't know who they were, I swear. If I would have know I never would have. I hate them! I really hate them. They have sworn to kill me if I didn't help them.''

''Well what do you say guys? Should we help her?'' Riven looked over the room to see the expressions of his friends. After a few seconds of thinking they all smiled.

''We all know how the Trix is and we know that they are capable to take advantage of innocent people. So of course we are going to help her.'' Bloom said and smiled as she took Mista's hand friendly.

''Alright, then we need to make up a plan. Does anyone got any ideas?'' Riven took his seat and leaned back in his chair.

''We have to surprise them, or else they will…'' Musa started but was cut off by Riven.

''You are not going with us.'' He said determined and glared at her. She was a bit surprised and angry.

''What do you mean I'm not coming?'' She folded her arms and frowned. Both of them seemed to forget that the room was full of people.

''Just that you are not going. You are staying here with Chel.'' He stood up and raised his voice. Musa also stood up and walked over to him.

''Just because we are married it doesn't mean that you own me Riven!''

''You are staying here, end of discussion.'' Riven sat down again and Musa glared at him for a second then stormed out of the room.

Musa sat in her and Riven's bedroom. She flipped through a magazine but throwed it over the room as she let out a scream in anger. She hasn't been this angry at Riven since she had been at the audition with Jason Queen and Riven had critizised her singing. Who does he think he is? What would make him think that he could boss her around just because they were married? She stood up and went into the bathroom and undressed herself and stepped into the shower. The water ran down from her head and down her back. This was exactly what she needed. She took the shampoo bottle and a massaged some into her long navy blue hair. You are staying here, end of discussion. The voice of her arrogant and heat-tempered husband rewinded over and over again in her head. She washed the shampoo out of her hair and body then reached for the the towel and wrapped her hair in the towel. Then she took her scarlet knee-length satin bathrobe and went back out in the bedroom where she meet Riven sitting on the bed. She looked at him for a second then went over to the coffe-table and sat down in one of the chairs and started to read the magazine again that Riven must had picked up and placed on the table.

''I know you are mad at me.'' She peaked over the magazine and shot arrows with her eyes before going back to reading. She heard him get off the bed and walk towards her, then she felt his big hands stroking her leg gently. She peaked over the magazine again. He smiled at her with a smile not many but herself knew about. A kind, shy smile that didn't fit with Riven's hard personality.
''But you have to try to see it from my point of view Musa.''
''What is there to see? You embarresed me infront of our friends and your family. Don't you know how that make me look?''
''Yes I see what you are saying, and I'm really sorry about that.''
''You can't tell me what to do Riven. Just because you placed a ring on my finger doesn't mean that I'm going to take orders from you.'' Riven shook his head.
''I know, I know. Of course I want you there by my side but under the circumstances.'' He smiled and placed both of his hands on her stomach and stroked it softly. He looked upon her again and her cold expression had been replaced by a warm glowing smile.
''I can't risk our child for anything in the world. That's why I want you to stay home.'' She nodded and kissed him.
''I have nothing against to stay back, but I don't want you to tell me what to do.''
''I'm sorry. I'll think before I open my mouth next time.'' She giggled and kissed him again. A long and tender kiss, he seaked entrench for his tongue to enter her mouth and she let him. This felt like everytime he kissed her. Wonderful. When they broke apart, she leaned back into the chair and placed her own hand on Riven's.
''So what did you deside?'' Riven smiled and started to undress himself.
''We are leaving tomorrow morning. Early in the morning.'' There was a knock on the door. Musa went to see who it was. It was her chamber maid Virena.

''Do you wish for something your higness?'' Virena curtsied. Musa smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

''No thank you Virena. You go home and I'll see you in the morning.'' Virena nodded and curtsied again.

''She's so sweet.'' Musa closed the door and went back in the bathroom to change quickly to her nightgown, then went back out in the bedroom to the glass doors that lead to the balcony and opened the door to aerate. Since she had become pregnant Musa had to sleep with the doors open at night. The heat killed her.

''Riven?'' Musa crawled under the covers besides Riven. He answered by making a sigh and a noise that meant that he was listing. She smiled for herself and snuggled close next to him and he laid his strong left arm around her shoulder.

''Don't you think that we should talk baby names?'' He stopped reading his pappers and looked at her and grinned.

''But I know what name he is going to have.'' She frowned.

''You do?'' He started to read again.

''Of course, Riven Jr.'' She beamed at him.

''And what if it's a girl.'' Without looking her, he grinned.

''Rivette.'' She hit him playfully on his chest.

''No seriously.'' Riven laid his bunch of paper on his nightstand and turned on his side and rested his head in his palm.

''We don't have to decide anything know. It's a long time until the baby is here.'' He turned the light out.

''You know just as well as I do that we will change the name when it's born.'' And that was indeed right, they probably would. He smiled and kissed her. She maked herself comfortable and snuggled closed to him. He embraced her and kissed her forehead.

The next morning, The Trix sat in their hiding place. Icy was in a unusual bad mood and walked back and forth.

''Why hasn't she taken care of Bloom yet. What is she waiting for? Stupid girl.'' Darcy and Stormy was getting tired of Icy's complaining but didn't dare to speak in fear of that she would use her magic on them.

''She is unworthy our friendliness.'' Icy gritted her teeth in rage.

''What friendliness are you speaking of Icy?'' All three of the witches turned to see a group of people.

''Ah Riven… and the pixies. So… good to see you again.''

''Is this what you are calling a smalltalk Icy?'' Icy laughed.

''Do you know about the horrible betrayer you have in your little group Riven?'' Icy grinned.

''I know everything, you can't threat her anymore Icy. It's over.'' Riven and the others specialists drew their weapons and pointed it at them.

''Very well then. Now, we are going to finish what we should have a long time ago. This is what we warned you about what would happen if you betrayed us.'' Inside Icy's hand a small blue ball increased and got larger and larger until it was the size of a watermelon. Mista felt defendless but was good att hidden it. Icy scolded as she sent the ball towards Mista.

''NO!'' A male voice screamed and Yatz threw himself in front of Mista and was hit in his chest and fall to the hard ground. Before she understood what just had happended, Mista stood and looking down at his motionless body in fear and panic. She threw herself on her knees besides him and placed his head in her lap.

''Yatz, can you hear me? Come on Yatz you can't leave me like this.'' The tears streamed down her cheeks as she shook his body. Flora ran over to them and took his wrist and felt for a pulse.

''It's very weak.'' Mista cried harder. The Trix scolded again.

''Mista!'' Yatz slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.

''Don't go Yatz, don't you dare go away.''

''Aww isen't this sweet? I guess you have change your mind about boyfriend Mista, havn't you?'' Stormy grinned.

Will Yatz survive? And will they be able so defeat the Trix once and for all? And what about Topaz, does she know Musa's and Riven's little secret?

Please R&R and let me know what you think.
