"Come on Osman" I held Osman's hand and we started walking along with Suleiman to the main room of the castle we were in right now, we were in Edirne where we stayed all of Ramadan, which ended today, and after that Suleiman will be leaving for Seige.

"When will you be leaving?" I asked as we walked down the small harem in the castle, I was holding Osman's hand as he walked while Suleiman held both of the twins even though they could walk he still spoils them while Rosie held Murad behind us.

"Tomorrow morning, insha'Allah" He answered. We walked in causing everyone in the room to stand up except the Valide. I bowed to her and Hatice Sultan before handing Osman to one of the maids and followed Suleiman who sat on his throne and I took the pillow to his left with Hurrem beside me, she rolled her eyes when she saw us walk together but held her tongue to not ruin the agreement between us.

"May Allah bless this day" The valide said earning a chant of amens. One of the aghas in the harem who I think was called Gul walked over to Hurrem Sultan and placed in front of her favorite dish making her grin, it was obvious she was his favorite Sultana. I looked at Rosie who started feeding the children, she and Helen were both taking care of the children making me smile as Ayse looked at me with her cheeks full as she chewed happily.

"So Qamar, have you asked Suleiman when we will be leaving Edirne?" Hurrem asked leaning closer to me so no one could hear us. Hurrem suggested we stay on friendlier terms than we were because in the end Suleiman was still young and people will still try to send him new lovers and we saw it appropriate we join our powers together than work separately.

"He said we leave when the Valide wants us to" I answered turning to look at the Valide who was talking to Hatice Sultan. Hurrem huffed angrily which I understood I wanted to go back home as soon as possible, being somewhere unfamiliar and with not many to trust was stressful for the both of us and that wasn't good for my milk. After we finished eating they started to bring a variety of sweets for us, some I liked while others I'd rather stay away from.

"Take that away from my face and never place it in front of me every again" Hurrem ordered Gul agha earning our attention, she was glaring at some type of sweets which was weird, she used to love all types o sweets.

"What was that for, Hurrem?" Suleiman asked. Hurrem looked at him for a second trying to find an explanation but she was saved by her child, she let out a small scream making Abdullah jump and hug Rosie in fear.

"Our son is on the way," Hurrem said clutching her stomach. I helped her up along with some maids. I sat back down and watched as Hatice followed them to Hurrem's room.

"As if she knows if it's a son" Mahidevran hissed under breath from beside Gulfem Hatun who nodded her head barely listening to Mahidevran being stuck in her own world, I still don't know why Suleiman insists she stays with us. The maids took away the food and tables as we sat on the couches around the room and waited for any news.

"Granny, am I going to have a new brother?" Mihrimah asked looking up at her granny. The valide kissed her forehead.

"Boy or girl, let's hope they're born healthy and your mother is safe," The valide said. Her answer was wise, what do you tell a young girl whose head was filled with brothers only.

"I hope it's a boy so we can play together," Osman said jumping up from the couch holding up his toy sword making me chuckle.

"No, I want girl," Ayse said still not able to talk much but it was still amazing for her age. I looked at Suleiman who laughed and walked over picking Osman up making him squeal as he started tossing him in the air much to his delight and my horror.

"Be careful, your majesty, he just ate" I warned standing up as the two laughed but Osman seemed okay. Suleiman placed Osman down just as the doors opened and Gul agha ran in making me hold my breath.
