Byrd isn't pregnant. She isn't and she couldn't be. My sperm has been no where near her eggs in a very long time. I know this for fact. Something is up here. It has to be Raven, even though the thought is scary to me. Raven was the only other person with Byrd though so it has to be...

When we arrive to the healers, Byrd goes in and fills the cup. She gives me a gloating look as she hands over the cup to the healer.

"Well, you're pregnant, my queen." The healer announces and bows. As she's about to walk out Byrd stops her.

"What do you mean I'm pregnant?" Her eyes are wide.

"I mean just that, you're pregnant." The healer repeats.

Byrd laughs nervously. "I'm not pregnant. It's impossible!"

"Your sample number....oh, I see where we went wrong here. We used your other sample again. I guess I'll check the other. Hold on." The healer smiles weakly and exits the room.

"So this morning your sample confirmed pregnant twice, but now you expect it negative?" I ask her nodding and tucking in my lips because I don't believe her for a second that she is pregnant.

"Can't we just go back to our chambers, I'm tired and it's getting late." She whines and urges to leave.

"You're not pregnant now?" The healer says loudly as she comes in and reads off her clipboard, but she's confused, so am I lady.

"Well I must've lost the baby, come on let's go." She walks out the door.

I follow after her after I thank the healer. We head down the corridor in silence. "I'm just going to ask Raven."

"Go ask her." She sighs.

"I just don't understand all that's happened here today." I reply frowning.

"'Me either." She rubs at her forehead.

"If I am right and I think that I am, of course, I think I'm going to wait for her to tell me in her own time."

"Mhm." Is all she says. How fucking annoying, this entire situation is more tiring than it has to be.

I rub at my face, it's not late so there's not a chance in hell I'm returning back to our chambers. Sometimes a burst of energy hits me at the worst possible times and I just can't go back to my room. Instead, I head to the kitchen where Jax is. I have no clue why I'm in the kitchen or what I'm going to do here. Sometimes I mindlessly roam and end up here. I rarely ever run into the general outside meetings, so this occasion is a rare one.

"How's the wedding planning coming along? The big day is very soon." I make pleasant conversation in attempt to leave the thought of someone in the castle pregnant.

"It's getting a little nerve wrecking, but I think we're both ready. She's more stressed than I think I am."

"It makes sense, the women decide everything and Petunia mainly bugs them. I remember Byrd was incredibly stressed out and frazzled most of the time. Did you two decided an indoor or outdoor service?"

"Indoor." Jax smiles.

"Are you renting out the ballroom or marrying at the church?"

"The church, I think that was the only thing I got to decide on." He laughs.

I laugh along with him and grab a tub of chocolate ice cream out of the cupboard for Byrd. "Goodnight Jax, tell Rosie I say the same and wish her luck o the planning."

"Goodnight King, I will be sure to tell her." He bows.

I head out of the kitchen after grabbing a spoon and wind up in my chambers not far after. I was just going to pretend as if today never happened until it was relevant for me to. As king, I love knowing everything. I have to always be in the loop, so when I'm not it has a way of driving me insane. The gods didn't make me a seer for a reason though, I'm not meant to know all that is to come and I am kind of grateful for the surprise in my path and the paths of the one I love.
