Skulduggery walked into his bedroom. Valkyrie was sat cross-legged on their bed, holding a pillow tight to her body.
"Hey, hun" He walked over to his wife. He realised she had tear marks on her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly. She stuffed her face into the pillow. He sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Tell me" Skulduggery whispered. She grumbled something.
"I know I'm amazing but I can't hear you in the pillow" She brought her head up, her eyes were red and puffy. She turned ninety degrees to face him.
"Okay, don't be angry with me-"
"Could never be angry with you" She smiled and grabbed his hands.
"I'm..." She hesitated. Taking a deep breath her eyes fell on the entwined fingers.
"I'm pregnant" She broke down into her pillow. Skulduggery was in shock. He hadn't moved since she broke the news. The it registered.
"Come here" He pulled her on to his lap. "What's wrong? Don't you want a child?" She pulled away from his chest.
"Of course I do but I thought you didn't because of last time" She lowered her head and voice.
"What? Don't be silly! This means I can have a another chance at having a family. Me, you and our child." His hand hover over her stomach. She lent back, her head against his shoulder.
"How far along are you?"
"Two weeks" They both smiled. He lowered his lips to hers.
"I love you"
"I love you too"
They were all gathered around Ghastly's office. Ghastly was at his desk filling in some papers. Skulduggery and Valkyrie were on the sofa looking through a file. Tanith was sat on her husband's desk writing on her hand. Valkyrie glanced to Skulduggery, he nodded.
"Tanith" She snapped her head to Valkyrie
"Yesssss?" She longed the response out.
"Can I talk to you out side for a minute" The young mage stood up and walked towards the door. Tanith followed. They went out to the corridor.
"Okay don't freak out but I'm pregnant" Tanith started to jump up and down screaming. People were giving her odd looks.
"OH MY GOD Val! Congrats!" She gave her best friend a bone crushing hug.
Meanwhile in the office.
"Okay,Ghastly" Skulduggery stood up, walked across the room and sat down in the seat opposite.
"What?"
"Valkyrie is pregnant"
Ghastly's face lit up "Congratulations!" He stood up and gave him a man hug. "You do know you are going to have a mini you or Valkyrie running around the place?"
"Yeah" They laughed and sat back down. The door opened, Ravel walked in a confused look on his face.
"Why is Tanith screaming and killing Valkyrie in a hug?"
"Because Valkyrie just told her she's pregnant" Skulduggery answered.
"Wow congratulations, mate" He patted his friend on the shoulder "You can't tell China I told you but she's pregnant too" Skulduggery and Ghastly just stared at him. Then smiles broke out.
"Woah congratulations" Ghastly said.
"Yeah you and China are going to have a child. Woah" Skulduggery couldn't believe it. Woah.
Tanith and Valkyrie walked back in. Tanith had a gigantic smile on.
"Congratulations Skulduggery" She gave him a hug. Skulduggery just patted her on the back.
"Thanks Tanith"
"Can I be god mother?" The question was aimed at Valkyrie
"probably"
"Why only probably?"
"Because me and Skul haven't talked about anything yet so just have to wait" Valkyrie stuck her tongue out. Tantih was pretending to strop and collapsed into the sofa, arms folded over her chest.
"Baby" Muttered Ghastly.
2 days later...
"Okay, Tanith we've spoken and we want you and Ghastly to be god parents" Tanith jumped up and crushed Valkyrie with her arms.
"Tanith... can't...breath"
"Tanith let go" Ghastly told her.
"Sorry, YAY!" She let go and sat back down next to Ghastly. Tanith, Ghastly, Skulduggery and Valkyrie were hanging around Tanith and Ghastly's flat.
"Okay so we better be going" Skulduggery stood up.
"Yep see ya guys" The couple walked out the front door.
Crap, CRap, CRAp, CRAP ENDING! Sorry guys I just wanted to show how Valkyrie told everyone. Please Review
