Early morning, Red Maple Manor.
Queen Isa opened her eyes, only to find that her lover was no longer at her side, leaving behind only an intoxicating scent.
Lingering in the comfortable bed for a while, Isa gently touched her rounded belly, a happy smile surfacing on her beautiful face.
"Good morning, darling."
After gently greeting the little life in her belly, Isa left the bed, barefoot and with snow-white delicate feet, walked out of the bedroom to see Colin sitting at the desk in the front hall, engrossed in reading a scroll of parchment.
Upon hearing the movement behind him, Colin turned his head to see Isa in a loose nightgown, smiled and said, "My dear, did I wake you? You should sleep a little more. Also, pregnant women should keep warm and not walk barefoot in the house..."
Queen Isa rolled her eyes prettily, walked over, and sat in Colin's lap, silencing his rambling with a soft kiss from her alluring red lips.
