Aria still couldn't believe that there was actually a little person growing inside her, she couldn't believe she was with child; Alder's child.
Somehow, she had always known it was natural for this to occur, but she had never actually thought it would happen, she had never thought the day would actually come.
"What are you thinking, my lady?". Nerissa asked her.
"That I'm with child". She replied simply.
She had been staring blankly at her reflection in the looking glass; she still looked the same, she still felt the same, yet everyone told her things had changed.
Nerissa fussed over her more as did everyone else.
'You must eat, it's not just you now, Your majesty'.
'You should get some rest, it's not just you now, my lady'.
'But my lady, it's cold outside, you best wear a cloak'.
