Costia's  POV
3 months later
Today is the day. Today we announce that I'm with child. We can't keep it a secret any longer I'm beginning to show and it's starting to become noticeable.

So Roan

So Roan. Lexa and I have called a meeting in TonDc to give the news. Roan has been a great help. His father on the other hand has been a bit weird recently. Lexa has kind of had a hard time adjusting to Roan and I getting closer. She has been rather busy lately though I believe she's just avoiding me. I love her and I try to see her when I can but after today it's going to be hard to hide Lexa and my relationship. I love my baby more than anything else and I don't want Lexa to hate my child either. I believe she will come around.
Lexa's POV
The past 3 months have been slightly stressful. Costia doesn't know yet but war is coming and I'm trying to do everything in my power to keep her from it. She is pregnant and the last thing she needs is this. It's also been hard to see her and Roan getting closer. The reality is that's their child. He has every right to want to be closer to her it still hurts nonetheless. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Anya and Gustus walk into the meeting room. We are currently stationed in TonDc for Roan and Costia's big announcement to the Clans and their people of Edinburgh and Azgeda. Today I'm on high alert the enemy could infiltrate the meeting easily because Azgeda warriors will be here this evening. I plan to stay next to Costia the whole night I refuse to allow harm to come to her or her unborn child. I look up to Anya and Gustus who are waiting by the entrance. Gustus walks closer to where I stand before he speaks. (Heda we bring news!) What is it Gustus? Can it be handled quietly! (Heda Nia's Army has taken over one of our villages. The one Nina and Aden went to this morning.) SHIT!!!! Aden what's the news of the people in the village. Is Aden and Nina in danger? Did Niyla go with them? My mind is racing Not my Aden I want to cry but I won't I have been training for these types of situations my entire life. Doesn't make it hurt any less all I can think about is that sweet babies smile and how he laughs when I tickle his neck. (Heda... we are sending Trikru Warriors to the village to see what damages have been done all we can do now is wait.) Good let me know as soon as you find anything out! Oh and Gustus I want Nia's head if anything happens to either Aden or Nina you got that?  jus drein jus daun! Blood must have blood I say in a harsh tone. Anya looks at me and she knows I mean it. I've never been much for our ways of  jus drein jus daun but as of late I have been. I have far to many enemies not to agree with it. My heart breaks at the thought of never seeing Aden again. I lift my hand and slightly wave it to indicate they can leave now. Once Gustus and Anya leave I allow the tears to fall please be okay!

Roans POV
Costia and I have entered the meeting room to see Lexa sitting alone looking quite distressed. I wonder what's wrong. Lexa looks up to see us and her demeanour completely changes she sits up straight and sets her face to a blank expression. I just know I'll be hearing about this tonight. Costia hates when Lexa's upset or anything other than Happy which is understandable. Although Lexa's the Commander there isn't much happiness in that and I wish Costia could see that. I know Lexa loves Costia but I think Cos loves her a bit more then she does. I only say this because I'm a neutral party I see both sides of it. No matter what mood Costia is in the minute her eyes land on Lexa she immediately gets happy. The only person who can do that to Lexa is Aden. That kid brings Lex so much joy. Costia doesn't light Lexa up like Lexa does for Cos. Who am I to say anything though I just want us all to be happy. I really like Niyla but she doesn't like the fact that I'm married. I can't exactly tell her that my wife is actually in love with the Commander. My life is complicated but I don't mind my child will be here in a matter of months and that's all the joy I could want. I hope Lexa doesn't think that I have feelings for Costia because I want to be around her all the time. Since the day Costia told me she was with child I never wanted to leave her side I feel protective of my unborn child. I do care and love Costia but not in a romantic way. All I want is her happy and Lexa is her happiness! I'm pulled from my thoughts when I feel a hand on my shoulder I lookup to see to concerned faces staring at me. What's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost I chuckle. Lexa gives me that glare of hers that could cut a diamond. I quickly lose my smile. Heda what's happened? Lexa looks between Roan and Costia (Your Mother... that's what's happened!) Heda What has she done now? (She has taken a village hostage one of my villages. Aden Nina and possibly Niyla are in that Village and most likely dead! I'm just telling you out of respect Roan if Aden or Nina are harmed in anyway. I will take Nia's head without hesitation you understand?) Yes Heda I understand you do what you must to bring our people home safely I know they are not technically my people but Niyla, Nina and even Aden are my people. So do what has to be done just don't get yourself killed Heda!

Costia's POV
I stand here next to Roan listening to his and Lexa's conversation. Nia's got Aden! Lexa will never forgive me if he's dead. (If anything happens to Aden or Nina I will take Nia's head!) I hear Lexa say I cringe at the words Lexa is going to get herself killed I won't allow it.

The meeting room is full of people who are here for Roan and I's announcement. I begin to speak People of the 11 clans and people of my kingdoms You have been summoned by us so we may share our news with the lot of you. Roan and I are with Child. The room goes silent with quite gasp. We know this must come as a shock but we look forward to meeting our child and your one day ruler. I lift my glass in the air. May the child in my womb bring solidarity to us all. I look to my right and Lexa looks on edge she keeps scanning the room as if someone was going to attack. I guess this is the Price we pay for being leaders.
