A Court of Shorts and Storys

Secrets Part 2: Uncertainty

_____

Nesta walked into the River house, Cassian behind her. They needed to tell Feyre, she needed to sister to know what was happening. Nesta didn't care for Rhys to know, or Azriel. Hell she was quite sure that if Cassian hadn't been there that day, she might not even have told him. All to protect and accept Elains wishes.

"I can ask my brother to leave if you just want to talk to Feyre alone." Cassian whispered in her ear, his breath send shivers down her spine, and had Nesta not needed to talk to her sister, she might have told Cassian that it could wait only for her to drag him into there bedroom.

"Thank you..." she said back. And took his hand. "But I think they both needs to know..." She walked further into the house, finding Rhys and Feyre playing on the floor with Nyx. Rhys stood up the moment he saw the look on there faces.

"What is happening?" He asked.

"Nothing that is a threat." Cassian said back.

"Elain is pregnant. 8 month along. Lucien is the father." Nesta said it without any emotions or special tone. It was a fact and she just stated it. Feyre got up, giving Nyx to Rhys.

"Why haven't you told us? Why haven't she told us?" Feyre said, worry in her voice and eyes.

"She was ashamed, and she asked us not too." Nesta said. "She is in a cabin up in the mountains, the one you and Cassian prepared Rhys."

"The wards over that cabin is not the strongest..." Rhys said and moved, Cassian stoped him.

"No need to stress about it. Illyrian traps surrounds the entier perimeter. She is safe there."

"Do Lucien know?" Feyre asked.

"No..." Nesta said. "Feyre can I talk to you alone for a bit?"

"Yes..." The two sisters left the room and Feyre Winnowed them to a room with no windows. "This is our room of secrets, no one can hear us here." Nesta felt the smell to.
"Or disturb us uninvited."

"You and Rhys have a sex room?" She needed to talk to Cassian about getting one.

"Yes... You could call it that... Now back to Elain." Feyres cheeks got red.

"We found her in the Town house after her date with Lucien. They had Sex and he called her his mate and it scared the crap out of her, and she rejekted him." Nesta explained. Looking around the room for something to sit on only to decide not to. "She found out that she got pregnant the day after and me and Cassian found her three weeks after that."

"So she had no plans on telling anyone of us?"

"I don't think so, she asked us to help her hide it from you when you took her to the cabin. She only agreed to tell us the other week, She still don't want Lucien to know, and I think she would like it if Azriel didn't know too... She gets a look in her eyes when we mention his name..." Nesta sighed.

"How is she fealing? Is she alone now?"

"She is remarkably fine, we have traveled there regularly and after she stoped throwing up every morning in the beginning she is fine. A bitt scared but fine. And the healer says that everything is as it should. Once he och she is born Elain wants to stay there as undisturbed as possible."

"That will not be possible." Feyre said, and looked away. Nesta snaped.

"You may be High Lady, but you can't decide over Elain like that! It is her decision and choice!" She screamed at her. Maybe it was for the better that no-one had known. Better for Elain that they din't have an opinion.
