Some time later Alden did wake, and lifted his head to find Talia watching him. "Aw, why didn't you sleep?" She smiled and shook her head. "Because I need to talk to you." He grumbled a little, but sat up. "What is it, kitten?"

"You said once ... you didn't think we - that it would be so easy to conceive, being so different. But ..." He nodded, "Yes. But?" She crawled forward and buried her face in his shoulder, and mumbled something. Wide awake and a tad suspicious, now, he tugged her up, "Taliaaaaaaa, talk to me." Eyes still lowered, she murmured, "You - I - I'm pregnant. I don't know how, but you pulled it off. We pulled it off." He gasped softly, and she looked up, eyes wide, and saw his smile, "You did? we DID!! Talia!" He pulled her close and hugged her, still grinning. "A baby! We're - we're going to have a baby!!"

She squeaked and he loosened his grip, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't hurt you?" when she smiled and shook her head, he broke into another large grin. "How - when is it coming? I have to tell the others! A baby!" She laughed at his delight. "It's very early, about another eight months, at least as far as I can tell. Saria knows already, love. I asked her to test. She told me a few days ago, I wanted to tell you right away, but then I had already made plans to get information from Toby, and all of that, well ... I was upset."
