"It's getting harder and harder to hide my pregnancy from Hvitserk. I am already 3 months along. I can't hide it for forever. I just, I want to surprise him." "I don't understand you sometimes. I think you should tell him soon. He is going to find out no matter what happens. Unless of course he is dead in a ditch somewhere. Sigveig as my only friend, I look to you for council in everything, now I need you to listen to me. You need to tell your husband." orGudrun looked at me with concern. "I am afraid if I tell him he will think that it belongs to Ubbe." I spoke up. "If you found out the day after you and Ubbe did the.... You know, then it would impossible to be his unless you and him did it before?" She looked sharply at me as if to question. "No that was the only time. I just... I don't know, something about it feels like a curse." I told her. "Sigveig," She said. "Children are not curses. They are blessings. Hell, if I could have a child with Ivar..." She took a deep sigh. "I know." I paused. "but I'm telling you something feels so wrong. Something is making me hesitate. Like I want to tell him but something is holding me back." Suddenly the door opened. Me and Gudrun moved our eyes quickly to see Hvitserk standing in the doorway. Gudrun winked at me and left the room in silence. "What is wrong, my love?" "Nothing." I lied. "It looks like something is wrong. You haven't talked to me a lot recently." "I haven't really had the need to." I lied more. "Sigveig, I am trying to have a conversation with you." I cracked a smile. "I am trying to subtly avoid a conversation with you." "Now I know something is wrong with you. You always like to hear yourself talk. You also always have to go into battle looking like a beautiful badass. When one of those things is not happening, it usually isn't good for someone else in the room" He gave a lopsided smile showing sentiment yet deep concern. I wanted to tell him but something was holding me back. Maybe it was the Gods, or fate, or fear. "Hvitserk, I- I-" I stuttered. I know I should tell him now. "I just wish you would spend a little more time with me. I haven't been feeling very well and I just miss you." A wave of relief washed over me yet I knew I had made the wrong choice. "Why didn't you just say so? You have just been acting so strange after you went and saw the seer. I figured you wanted more time to yourself." Then the thought came to me like a chill in winter. I should've have told him. Right then. Right there. I should have told him. Why didn't I? What was I so afraid of that I might not tell my husband that he will be a father. "Hvitserk, let's invite Gudrun and Ivar to dinner tonight. I have some news that can't wait any longer. I know you and Lagertha are not on very good terms since she has killed your mother, but seeing as I am one of her shieldmaidens I need her to hear this as well. Is this okay with you?" I was going to tell him at dinner and this time I was not going to let fear stop me. "Whatever makes you happy, will make me happy. You know, I would go to the end of the world for you. I would do it anyway, but if you asked me to I wouldn't even hesitate to pack food." He cracked a smile. "If you go to the end of the world for me you better be damn sure you will pack food for the journey! I can't have you looking like your brother's legs when you come back. I might break you." I gave him an even bigger smile. He pulled me close and laughed. "That is why I love you so much." A few hours later our 3 guests arrived for dinner. We talked and ate and drank. Ivar gave Lagertha nasty looks every second she turned around. Finally we came to the end of the night and before they were about to leave I broke my silence. "I have some news, but I need to speak to Lagertha privately first. May we step outside?" I asked her. "Of course. Whatever you need." She spoke back. We stepped outside and I told her everything about the seer, about my pregnancy, and how I was about to tell Hvitserk. "My dear, you are telling him the greatest news a man will want to hear, you should not be fearful in any way. I am very glad to hear it. I wish the best. Although I'm quite sad that you can no longer train with us until you are able." she brought me in for a hug and said goodbye. I went back inside to say goodnight to Ivar and Gudrun. I pulled Gudrun in for a hug and whispered in her ear. "Tell Ivar. I want you to tell him." I let go and smiled. "goodnight to you both." Hvitserk and I walked to our bedroom. "I thought you had to tell Gudrun and Iv-" "Hvitserk I am with child." I liberated my mind as a tiny smile grew across my mouth and tears streaked down my face. "I am with child. It is without a doubt yours and I don't know why I have been holding back but-" He cut me off and kissed me. When he stopped his smile was bigger than the sea. He laughed. "you are with child. I am going to be a father. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" He kissed me again. From the other room I heard Ivar scream "WHAT? ARE YOU JOKING?!" We both stopped as Ivar came crawling in with huge smile on his face. "Hvitserk? You are going to be a father?" "Wait! How do you know it is mine?" Hvitserk looked at me concerned. "Well I found out the day after the night I spent with Ubbe, so it is impossible to be his. He is the only other person I have slept with for a year. Also the seer said so." I reassured him. Then Gudrun spoke up. "I don't mean to intrude on your happy moment but you were going to be a father anyway with Margrethe, right?" "She lost the baby about a week ago." Hvitserk looked down, then back at me. He smiled again. "but that doesn't matter now. It is in the past. And we must look to the future." He got down on one knee and kissed my stomach. "You, my child, will be strong and brave, you have a beautiful mother to teach you that. And I'm sure you will get your good looks from me." We said goodnight to Ivar and Gudrun. Hvitserk looked at me once more. He had a small smirk on his face. "I love you so much." "I love you too!" He took off his shirt, got into bed and pulled me down next to him. He kissed me and wrapped his arms around me. Then we both fell asleep.
