Cal POV

She kicked me out? I listen though the door and I hear her throwing up, is she sick? I wonder. I go to Kilorns room to ask him whats up with her, he'd know more then anyone right? I knock three times and I hear him come to the door "hey Cal what's up?" He says and I stand there for a second not sure if I should actually ask "earth to Cal." He says and I snap out of my trans "ya sorry, I was just wondering if Mare is alright" I ask "why, whats wrong" he says, I can hear a bit of panic in his voice which makes me nervous "well I hugged her I guess too hard and she kicked me out and started to throw up" I tell him and he lets out a small sigh "ya she's fine just not feeling well, probably food poisoning from the plane food" he says and that calms my nerves a bit "oh ok" I say, but I can't help but think that he's lying. I guess my concern shows through because Kilorn puts his hand on my shoulder "Look man, wait a while she'll come around and want to be close to you again soon. But when she's sick, she just wants to be alone ok?" He says "Kilorn who's at the door!" Cameron says "Cal!" He yells back then all of. Sudden I get tackled by Cameron with a hug "woah, nice to see you too" I say and hug back "thank you for bringing me here" she says and I look at Kilorn who's smiling at her way of saying thank you. She learned to tolerate me when I started acting like a normal person and less like a prince. She lets go of me and walks back into the room. Kilorn just looks at me and laughs "alright well I'll see you at dinner" he says "ya, see ya" I say and he closes the door. I walk to my room and when I get to my bed I fall onto it and just stare at the sealing for a while. Once I'm done blanking out I start to get ready for dinner, I take a shower, and change into some jeans and a black shirt with my brown leather jacket to keep warm. I don't bother dressing up too much because it's my uncles house, but I want to look nice for Mare. Once I'm done getting ready I head to Mare's room to take her to the dinner. When I knock on the door, I hear her walk to the door and open it "oh.. hey Cal, what are you doing here?" she asks "I'm here to take you to dinner" I reply and she starts to walk to the bathroom "ok well I'm not ready yet so if you just want to wait for me, I'll be done in a second" she says I walk in and close the door " looks like we're matching" I say she looks at me and smiles "looks like it" she says and finishes putting on all her ear rings when she walk out I notice it "you put it on" I say referring to the earring I gave her months ago "ya I did like a week after I left Norta" she says. I smiles and hold out my arm "my lady" I say and she laughs "why thank you" she says in a jokingly rich voice. As we're walking I say to her "so I was thinking of taking the cycle to my uncles" she stops and I look at her "sorry Cal it's just I'm not really feeling good and I don't want to vomit all over you if I get sick" she says. I smile with sympathetic eyes "that's ok we can take my car instead" I say and she smiles and we keep walking "thanks" she says "no problem" I say. Wow that food poisoning must be bad, I think. We get to the car and start driving to Julian and Sara's house, it starts to get awardly quiet in the car so I turn on some music, to my surprise the song we danced to almost a year ago plays, we also shared our first kiss to it as well. I let out a light laugh, but I hear a sniffle from Mare I look at her and she's holding back tears "hey whats wrong" I say and she looks at me and smiles "nothing, I just missed you is all" she says and I put my hand on her leg, and she stifles out a small laugh and puts her hand on mine. I don't think I've been this happy since I saw her last, that thought brings Ginervra to mind and what we did, guilt flows through me like a river. Mare senses me tensing and asks "you ok?" I give a smile "ya I am" I say remembering what Ginervra told me <we need to be able to be in a room together without showing the guilt we feel.> And it was getting easier to forget but now that Mare's here, I feel the guilt stronger then ever.

We get to their house about 20 minutes later "wait" I say and get out of the car, I walk around and open the door for her "you're kidding me" she says and looks at me sarcastically "come on let me be a gentleman for one night, and ill act like a soldier for the rest ok?" I say, she huffs and gets out of the car. I close the door and we walk to the house before Mare even knocks on the door Sara opens it and hugs Mare "woah not too tight" she says just like she said to me earlier today "oh right sorry" she says and looks at me "Hello Cal how are you" she says and goes in for a hug "good" I say "oh! congrats you and Julian on getting married" Mare says and Sara laughs "thank you, hey why don't you guys come inside and you" Sara says and points at Mare "I need to talk to you" she continue and we walk inside "ill see you in a bit ok?" Mare says to me before Sara pulls her off. I walk into the kitchen and see Julian cooking with Elane and Ada, and Kilorn, Cameron, Evangeline, and Ginervra are all talking in the dinning room. I lock eyes with Gen and she gives me sympathetic eyes, I take a deep breath and raise my eyebrows in response.

Mare POV

When Sara pulls me into what I can only guess is Julians library, she shuts the door and looks me up and down "how are you?" She asks and I can only assume she knows "who told you?" I ask, and she just laughs "Mare, you know I'm a healer right? I knew the day after it happened" she says "you what!? You knew and you didn't tell me?!" I half yell at her "I didn't because I thought you'd find out yourself. " she says "well I didn't because Farley told me" I says, starting to calm down a little "who do you think told her?" She says and I stifle a laugh "wow" I say "so now that we have that out of the way, how are you feeling?" She says And I actually laugh "Fucking horrible, Cal hugged me too hard and I had to kick him out of my room so I could trow up, oh and on the way here I started to cry when the song we shared our first kiss to played on the radio. Sara, I'm falling apart" I say tears stinging my eyes. She comes closer to me and hugs me "hey hey, this is all normal for your first term of pregnancy" she says and the tears start to fall "the worst part is I don't have Cal to help me through this and I'm too scared to tell him" I say and she pulls me away and looks at me "hey, you don't have to worry about how he'll act ok? You should never worry about that. You should be worrying about that baby growing inside you, now you went to the doctor right?" She asks and I nod my head "and what did she say?" She asks and I smile and grab the ultrasound picture from my bag and give it to her she takes it and smiles "she said the baby was fine and growing perfectly." I say and she looks at me with pride in her eyes "see this Mare, this is why you don't absolute need him for this, you have friends and family that will help you with this. Having him is just a bonus." she says "I guess ya" I say "come on lets go out and have a good night." She says and opens the door giving me the picture back. The rest of the night Cal keeps looking at me and showing a lot of affection to me, I'm guessing he's a bit tipsy. When we eat dinner I magically for some reason don't get sick, maybe its because Cal's here? I think, but brush that away because I had to shove him out of my room to trow up. When its time to leave I have to drive because Cal drank I little bit during dinner and he doesn't trust himself to drive. The ride is silent but not awkward, it was a nice silence. We get to the Hotel and Cal stops at my room "so thank you for driving me back I'm sorry I shouldn't have had anything to drink" he says "no no it's fine" I say back and it looks as though he realizes something "wait you, you didn't have anything to drink." He says and I give a nervous laugh "I didn't want more reasons to throw up" I say covering up the real reason he nods his head and suddenly his lips are on mine. I don't push away, quite the opposite, I lean into the kiss and he opens the door. We walk in never breaking the kiss, he starts to set me on the bed, and I know that if I don't tell him now I won't find a good time for the rest of my trip "Cal?" I say in between kisses, he grunts in response but try's to go further "no Cal I need to tell you something?" I say breaking the Kisses he looks at me confused "what is it?" He says I take a deep breath and say the words I've been dreading for the past week "I'm Pregnant"
