**Christopher's P.O.V**
#Outskirts Of York#
*Night Before The South Ride Out*
"Adam? Are you still awake?" I ask is a loud whisper.
"No Chris I'm cooking dinner." He replies matter of factly as he turns to face me. The distant bells of York Minister strike eleven. "What do you want Chris?" He asks groggily.
"D-Do you think we should... Errm... F-Fight back against the south? I ask my mind still clogged with sleep.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean us. Me and you. Do you think we should go fight?"
Adam sighs.
"I'd like to, just to see what it's like. I just don't want to die." He replies.
"I want to go but what would happen if we went? How would mum, dad and Judith cope if we died?" The enemy have better weapons, better armour, better organisation..."
I hear Adam roll over on to his back.
"We have strength in numbers. The whole North is rebelling!"
"Yeah I suppose..."
"So? Do you want to go?" Adam asks, I can hear enthusiasm building in his voice.
"...Yes..."
"I'll get my hands on some armour tomorrow. I'm sure Finn will trade some of his fathers fine metal work for a couple of new long bows."
"I still have my armour from when I was younger and let's face it I haven't grown much."
Adam chuckles.
"Your right there little brother, a quick polish is all it needs."
"Better get some sleep then. Goodnight Adam."
"Goodnight Christopher."
#Ross's Castle#
**Ross's P.O.V**
"I'M WHAT??" Kim shouts at me her voice filled with happiness, excitement and fear.
"You heard me!" I tell her.
Kim spreads out on our bed doing a perfect impression of a starfish.
I sit down on the edge of the bed beside her. "I don't believe it." She gawps. "A baby. Our baby."
"Yes Kim. You'll make a great mum." I reply softly placing a hand on her stomach.
"Ross why do you have to leave me?" She complains rolling over so I can get into bed.
"Because I need to make this country a better place for our child to grow up in. One where's there's nothing but peace and harmony. Where everybody is equal. My ideal Kingdom. The country we need. The country that we all want. The country that is almost impossible to reach."
Kim snuggles close to me.
"The country that only you can create."
"And I will. If it's the last thing I ever do."
I kiss her forehead and we fall asleep. Tomorrow; we ride.
