A year later.....
Lexa's POV
It's been an interesting year to say the least. Costia got married! I still get to see her and be with her whenever we get the chance. Although it is difficult knowing that I essentially share My first Love. Roan is a good man he will make a fine king. He's kept his promise and has protected Costia and I's secret. Roan simply just allows us to love one another. No questions asked! I think he might have a thing for Nina's daughter Niyla but can't be sure he's quite guarded. With a mother like Nia and a Grandmother like Elisabeth you can't blame the boy. Niyla's sweet she's Roans age and enjoys cooking and she has some healer abilities learnt from her mother no doubt. Her father has a small trade store that she assist with when she's not at the tower with Nina. Her and Roan take walks every time she's in Polis and not watching the little Natblida's. Aden has gotten big in the last year he's running around now and his smile brings me joy. I go see him everyday and tell him stories of the past Commanders and about my own mother. He begins Natblida training in another years time. I believe he will be my successor the next Heda. Indra has recently found a boy no older than myself. His names Lincoln he's been living in a cave alone for the past 7 years. Both his parents were healers who were killed in the battle of Edinburgh. Indra has taken him in as her own. She may be a strong person but she has a soft spot for kids. I would know! Lincoln is being trained with the TriKru Warriors which is fantastic he's been really nice especially after being alone for so long I feel for him. Gaia Indra's daughter is already 9 and has absolutely refused to become a warrior. Indra was disappointed to say the least but she loves her daughter. Gaia wants to be a Fleimkepa which to my surprise upset Indra even more. I convinced the young girl she needed Warrior training regardless of wanting to be a Fleimkepa I explained how Titus is an amazing fighter but he is also the flame keeper. She finally agreed to train. Before I was Heda things were different simple really. Becoming Heda has also made me realise I was born for this it comes to me almost second nature. My goal is to bring unity and maybe someday peace to my people.

Costia's POV
I haven't seen Lex in days. I understand that she's busy being Heda and all. I just miss her she never has time for me anymore. I love her and I need to talk to her about something very important. I'm terrified she will walk away when she finds out I'm pregnant. We knew this was bound to happen we've all always known it was inevitable. Now that it's actually happening it feels wrong for the first time it all feels wrong. I place my hands over my stomach and let out the breath I've been holding. I may not love Roan but I sure as hell love this baby and I haven't met him or her yet.

I just hope Lexa feels the same way

I just hope Lexa feels the same way. I'm going to speak with her now. She will be with Aden at this time so it's a perfect chance to speak about this. I walk towards the meadow and my eyes light up at the scene before me. It's Lexa sitting on the grass with a tiny Aden in her lap. She looks so happy when she's with Aden he's the only thing that makes her true smile come out. Lexa looks up to see Costia staring at her with a smile on her face. Lexa waves her over to sit beside her and Aden. I walk over to where she is and take a seat beside her. Our eyes meet but I quickly look away her eyes are just so intimidating. Hey...Lex?
Lexa looks away from Aden up at a frowning Costia. (Cos.. you okay? What's happened.) Costia takes another long breath before speaking. Lexa I don't know how to go about this so I'm just going to say it quickly. Tears start to prick at her eyes. That's when Lexa got concerned. (Costia... are you leaving me?) God Lex No!!!! Although you might leave me when I tell you my news. Costia sighs I'm Pregnant Lexa! The look on Lexa's face showed so much sadness and hurt but also happiness and wonder. (Costia... I love you! Yes this hurts but I've known from the day you got married that this was going to happen. I'm not leaving you I'll be by your side the whole time. Besides babies are amazing just look at my Aden here he's the joy of my miserable life and he's not even my own. This baby is not a burden but a blessing Cos. Not only is it your child but it's also the child that will one day help to bring our people peace!) I love you Lexa!
(I love you too!)
