True Loves Journey

Changes.

It was our 3 week anniversary. I woke up in the arms of her new husband. I laid there not wanting to get up, or wake Neal. I rolled over to face Neal. I kissed his nose lightly and snuggled into him.
"Hmm?" I heard a notice come from the man beside me and looked up at his face, " morning beautiful." He said.
" morning Neal." I said. We got up reluctantly, not wanting to start the day. When we exited our room my father was pacing the halls with a few of the solders standing nearby. When he noticed us, he looked up at Neal.
" good. Your awake. Meeting in the meeting hall and noon. All men of the kingdom shall attend. I've already sent messengers to the village.", he turned to me," you and your mother are going shopping in the village at that time. You will both have a bow and arrows. "
"Yes father." I say.
" yes sir" Neal says. We look at each other wondering what is going on.

At noon, my mother and I met at the front gates as our husbands went to the meeting. We started walking toward the village bows in hand, full quivers slung across our backs. Wearing clothes that would usually be worn for riding horses. We each had a pouch full of coins tucked into our belts. As we walked she started acting strange. Looking at me weirdly as if she were trying to solve a puzzle.
" Emma look at me." She said suddenly stopping. I turned and gave her a confused expression. " your eyes have a sparkle, your skins glowing. Emma Swan Charming, are you what I think you are?"
" what? I asked confused as I'd ever been.
" Emma, forget shopping we're going to a healer." She said with a serious tone.
" why? " I asked
" because. Cmon. Follow." She said, so I followed.

When we got to the healers, my mother told me to go inside and that she'd follow me. I obeyed. My mother took the healer into a secluded corner to talk, then came back a couple minutes later. When they did, the healer, Ms. Claria, looked me up and down then nodded her head. She looked at my mother and said " yes." Apparently that was enough to send my mother jumping for joy.
" what's going on?" I asked.
" oh nothing Emma. Except that you are pregnant." My mother said just over a whisper. I just stood there in shock. My mother pulled me out of the tent Ms. Claria had put up. She drug me back to the palace to find dad and Neal.

As we got back to the palace all the men were leaving. A grim look on their faces. Dad and Neal stood at the gate their faces sad and grim.
" what's wrong" I asked approaching my father.
" A neighboring kingdom has waged war upon us. All men are being asked to fight. Age 13 and up. That includes Neal and I." My father said. I stood there. Shocked.scared. Worried. " the men are preparing to leave now. We leave as soon as every ship is prepared."that's when I crippled. I fell to the ground, my body shaking with sobs. My family came to comfort me. Neal sat down and pulled me into his lap and cradled me. My mother and father rubbed my back gently.

A few hours passed and Neal and my father had to leave. My mother and I stood at the gates. We watched as our husbands left on horse back. Toward the port. It was then that I realized I hadn't told him. I hadn't told Neal that I was pregnant. He didn't know that he would be a father in 9 months. If he made it through this war alive, that is.

Next chappie will be tragic. But, who will the tragedy effect the most? Will unexpected characters show up and show out? Now about this chappie. Emma has learned she is pregnant. But, she hasn't told Neal yet, and now she can't because he has left to go fight a war along with all the other men of the kingdom. How will this turn out for the princess and her mother?
