I'm Mated To What?!

XIX

Well today was great. The babies are growing like weeds in Amarra's almost completely round tummy now. Getting to feel them kicking is the highlights of my days anymore. Coming back to see her in bed talking to them. 

She looked up almost blushing. "What is it?" She asked blushing more. She looked so beautiful just sitting there with her tummy out. I could see the triplets moving. Little bulges sticking out then slowly disappearing. 

"I'm just looking at my beautiful mate," I said walking over to her. She smiled so brightly at me. "The beautiful mate that is pregnant with my babies." I placed my hand over her tummy and I could feel them moving and kicking. Amarra shifted to make herself more comfortable. 

The two of us had been talking about where we'd keep the triplets. Amarra would love for them to share our room for the first couple months to a year. I'm not against it of course. It's just not something we normally do when coming to our young. We've always placed our babies in a room of their own at the beginning of their lives. My mother had a room where it connected to mine so all she had to do was walk into it from her's. 

"I understand," she said breaking eye contact with me. She hated the idea of them having their own room to sleep in. 

Taking her hand in mine. "We could join our rooms together?" I asked more like a question to see what she'd think of that idea. She looked over at me, her eyes looking at me like -really?can we do something like that?- I smiled kissing her. "Of course we can my mate. I can have the room next to us conjoined to ours. So we can walk between the two if they need us." 

I wasn't expecting her to throw her arms around me. She was happy to hear that I was willing to join our room with the room next to us. I smiled putting my arms around her waist and pulled her off the bed and just held her close to me. She giggled when I kissed her neck and the babies kicked against the touch of my upper abdomen. 

"Thank you so much my mate." 

She didn't have to thank me. I was more than happy to do it for her. "Of course my mate. Anything for you my love." 

The rest of the day I was going back and forth through meetings with my father and my brothers. We were once again back to the Adreaxians not returning any of our space messages or allowing our small ships to return home. I've sent many in hope for a reply, but nothing in return. This is really starting to get tiring and really frustrating because if we don't hear anything soon...... Well then we'll have no choice but to go to war with them. 

"I'm afraid that we've tried everything," Ki'lieon said standing. He had many papers and charts in front of him. "I've looked at everything. Every message and every planetary chart of Adreax. They all show that there's been an increase of materials coming and going from the planet."

"Do you know where the ships are going?" I asked sitting forward.

"Yes," he answered. He looked through a couple pages, then stopped on one. "Yes the ships carrying the high radiated materials are going to the planet called, Habara. Our research has shown that they are starting to rise up against their neighboring planets called, Kanilia and Viyalea. We've had word with the two planets and they have two agreed that it would be good to join forces against the kings of Habara and King Yekvios of Adreax." 

Our father sat forward and slowly stood. "Other than myself and Ki'lieon, is there anyone else thinks this is the right choice to make?" 

I looked up at my father. "I think this would be good for us." All my brothers nodded in agreement. "I've tried reaching out to King Yekvios countless times and only have ever gotten word from his senior vizier Xi'in and it's always the same." My blood was beginning to boil just thinking about it. "I'm so sorry Prince Scai'ian but King Yekvios has looked over your proposal and is still talking with his viziers. I will get back to you once I hear something....... That was weeks ago now and I'm really growing tired of trying to reason with them. I think going to war is our only option now." 

"Who's all in favor of going to war with the planets Adreax and Habara?"

I raised my hand. In turn my brothers all raised their hands and everyone from majors and generals raised their hands as well. 

"Alright then," my father said tapping his staff against the ground. It was final and anyone that hadn't either agreed or disagreed wouldn't be heard. "Prepare for war. This isn't a trill or training. We have waited to long to take action. So get going generals." They all nodded and everyone departed from the room in a hurry. 

Me and my brothers stayed and talked more about the perpetration it would take to get everything together. Only me and....and Ra'math were the only two with high authority to declare war or war like perpetration....now it's only me that can do such a thing. 

"Okay," I said standing. "Listen to me. I give the order to prepare for war. My brothers, I call to you to join the battle." They all stood and placed their hands over their hearts. "Gather every warship and every man willing to fight." They threw their hands up and yelled with pride. "Then let's go." 

They quickly left the room. They knew actually what to do and what to get done. I waited a moment. Even though this was the right move to take. I still felt a deep ache in my heart. I was going to regret this in the end.
