Neala transported them home two at a time starting with Sorrel and Tahlulah. Tom and Danny were next followed closely by Cilla and Y'Ana. She decided to bring them by fire instead of water to make it easier on Sorrel and the children.

Once she had them all settled and fed at the palace she headed to her quarters for a little peace and quiet. Since traveling to Casilladin there had been no word from Cai. She’d been too busy to worry but as she turned the doorknob to her living quarters, a flutter of uncertainty filled her belly. They hadn’t gone this long without some sort of communication since they’d married. She scrubbed the back of her neck and pushed the door open. Once she’d taken a short nap, she would contact him.

A crunch beneath her boot drew her gaze down to the carpet. A round, red shape was partly covered by her foot. She bent down and picked up the crumpled red paper. A heart. She turned on the light and the trail appeared. Dozens of red paper hearts lead from the sitting room to the bedroom.

“Cai?” she called. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “Are you here?” She pushed open the double-doors and the trail veered to the right side of the bed. Her breath caught in her throat when she found the end at the foot of a hand-carved cradle. She pressed her hands against her belly. He knew.

“Damn you Gordon,” she muttered under her breath and gritted her teeth.

“Don’t curse him just yet.” Cai came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her on the shoulder.

“I was going to tell you. I tried, the day you left,” she said.

“I know,” he whispered and brushed her hair to one side. He touched his lips to the place right below her ear and she melted against him.

“Are you angry,” she said her voice breathy, her eyes fluttering with pleasure.

Cai turned her to face him, pressing his lips firmly against hers. The way he kissed her made her want to crawl inside him and stay forever.

“No,” he said pulling back a little. It left her panting, wanting more. “How could I be mad about the most wonderful news I’ve ever heard?”

“So you’re happy? Even though we’re in the middle of this war and who knows how it will end.”

“This baby is hope. I can think of nothing finer than to bring hope into the world, can you?” He cupped her cheek, stroking it with his thumb.

Tears prickled the back of her throat. “What if I’m not a good mother? I couldn’t even handle bringing a seven-year-old girl back alone. I had to bring Cilla and Tahlulah with me.”

“That has nothing to do with whether or not you will be a good mother.” He hugged her tightly against his chest. Stroking her hair. “And we will find a way to deal with Y'Ana. Together. We just need to be patient. She’s been through a lot.
