Waking slowly, Nathavin looked around confusedly. Where was he? Why couldn’t he see? Suddenly the memories came rushing back to him. The battle with Asadar. The huge cat attacking him. With a strangled yell, he tried to sit upright only to groan loudly in pain and flop back down. Pain lanced through him all over. Noise and a bright light flooded the room suddenly, causing him to blink several times in pain while shielding his eyes with his hands.
“Nathavin!” Caellia breathed in relief as she rushed into the room. “Eva I thought we’d lost you!” Mindful of his injuries she hugged him as tightly as she dared.
“Caellia,” he asked hesitantly after a moment of relaxing in her arms, “what happened?”
Pulling away from him, she slowly began to tell him what had happened after he’d collapsed. That he’d been brought into their rooms and the healers had worked day and night to keep him alive. He’d been unconscious for weeks. No one had been sure whether he would survive the cat’s attack or not.
As she cried into his chest, he reached up and held her to him. “I’m sorry I scared you.” He whispered, his voice filled with anguish and sorrow. She only held him tighter in response.
After a while, she informed him that she and Kattath had taken care of the day to day running of the castle. Andraos had assumed the throne of Aden and had sworn an oath of alliance with them. Her tone turned somewhat sad, “Shi’nryne left a couple of weeks ago. Said that he’d put off his search for his love’s murderer for too long.”
Nathavin nodded quietly, understanding that her sadness was for both Shi’nryne leaving before saying goodbye to him, and because of the sad reason for his leaving.
As his hand rested on her stomach, he felt a slight movement. Frowning slightly, he repositioned it. A few minutes later, he felt a distinct movement from her belly. His head jerked up and he pressed his hand against her more firmly. “Caellia…?”
A small giggle burst from her despite her best effort to maintain seriousness. “Yes Nathavin?”
“Did I just feel…?” There it was again!
“Yes you did.” She leaned down and whispered. “Kattath said it’s going to be a girl.”
A smile of pure delight crossed his face. A girl he could thoroughly pamper! He loved it!
“Oh and Nathavin,” Caellia began as she pulled a scroll from the bedside table. “I have a bone to pick with you. About the, ah, requirement, for lifting the curse to your lands? The one where I have to give birth to a child in order for the curse to be lifted…” She let the sentence trail off meaningfully while purposely keeping her tone deceptively light and airy.
Nathavin pulled away from her tensely and glared at her. “I tried to warn you about the requirements when you made your vow to me in my homelands...”
Staring him in the face, she took the rolled up piece of parchment and thwacked the top of his head firmly. “Now, we’re even.” She retorted with a small indignant sniff.
After a moment of somewhat stunned silence, he took the scroll from her, watching the grin spread across her face. “You do realize that I still hold your fate in my hands?”
The grin on her face widened. Yes, she knew he held her fate in his hands. And there was no one else whose hands she’d rather her fate rest in!
