After a few days things around the castle began to go back to normal. Rune and I lay together in the garden watching Fig play with the fairies as Lilith comes running at us at full speed. "I've seen it! I've finally seen something!" Lilith says so excited that it has Rune and I sitting up and smiling.
"Calm down and catch your breath.. what did you finally see?" Rune ask with a smile because of Lilith beaming with joy. She looks at me with a smile and she says "Your pregnant!" She jumps up and down in excitement and my smile completely disappears. "Who's pregnant?" I ask in a small voice and she begins laughing.
"You! You're pregnant! It's healthy and happy!" She was absolutely beaming and I couldn't move from shock. I slowly look to Rune to see him staring at my stomach. I subconsciously cover my stomach and his golden eyes snap up to my very green eyes. "Are you?" He ask in a soft voice and I find myself asking the same question.. Am I?
He sees the doubt and ask "Has anything changed?" I do my best to think but no matter how hard I try I can't think of anything. I look back to Lilith in confusion and say "Are you sure you saw right?" Lilith nods and says "According to my vision your baby was conceived three nights ago." I swallow hard and feel Rune begin laughing.
I turn to glare at him and his laughter grows. "Let's go see the healers before we get too carried away, okay?" I continue to glare but I agree. I go to stand but Rune quickly scoops me up and carries me to the healers. "I have perfectly working legs.." I say dryly but he only smiles as he shifts us to the healers.
A few test later and it was confirmed.. I was pregnant.. me.. with child... I sat completely in shock as Rune cheered with joy. He immediately began making plans for the child and our wedding.. Wait what!? "Did you just say wedding?" I ask grabbing his arm and he turns to me with a thousand watt smile. "Yes! You, me.. and our baby. Together as a family.. forever."
"Isn't that what you want?" He ask as his smile slowly fades. My mind races and I say "Yes it is but this.. all of this is all happing a little fast.. marriage is a big deal... hell kids are a big deal.. are you sure this is something we should do?" I ask in panic and he places both his hands on my face as he says
"I love you Syn.. all of you and I already love this child. Our child. This is real.. this is something I never wanted until I met you and I didn't think it was possible but it is and I'm beyond happy. I can't begin put my happiness into words.. You are my world love and our child will be the beginning of our new family."
I smile but I feel my eyes burning "I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom.." I say and my voice breaks a bit. "I know you are love.. and even if you aren't I will be here with you every step of the way. We will figure it all out together.. as a family." I laugh but also cry. I guess this is how this is all going to begin.. I reach down to my stomach and say "I guess you're coming whether we're ready or not.. but I promise to love you with everything I have.."
