I'm meeting with the King of the Lakelands today. Ugh. My very pregnant wife doesn't like it either.
"Must I go Mavey?" She whines still lying in bed.
"Yes Mare,"
"Why?"
"You are the Queen,"
"Pleaseee,"
"You have to come Mare."
I walk out of the bathroom, buttoning my shirt. "There's a dress in the bathroom." I sigh, helping her up. "Is it an old? Or a pregnant?" She laughs.
"I made sure," I smile and kiss her.

She finally comes out of the bathroom. The red dress flowing to her ankels. It looks like liquid fire was draped across her. "You look beautiful," I smirk.
Her makeup is light, but she has a bright red lipstick on.
She smiles and I take her arm.

Mare winces in pain as we step into the transport. "Mare?! Are you okay?!" I jump to her side. She holds her stomach.
"I'm fine," She has jagged breathes.
"Nevermind, your staying home."
"No, no- i- I'm okay." She breathes calmly now and my hands move to her shoulders. I feel her relax in my grip. "Okay hunny,"

The engine roars, and we're off.
Mare breathes in and out, as she was taught. I see tiny sparks crackle and pop in her hands. She is probably focusing on the pulse of electricity around us.

We finally arrive. The King, Queen and both Princesses wait outside.
"King Maven, Queen Mareena,"
Mare looks upset by the fake name.
"Its Queen Mare," She scowls.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty," The younger sister pipes in.
They walk us in to the court room. No high houses?
"This will be a private court," The queen smirks.

"What did this war even start on?"
I spit. "Killing reds," The king easily says. "That's not a real reason for war." Mare's voice stays flat, no emotion. "It was Queen." Iris, the younger one, gets angry.
Mare just scowls and waves a hand in dismissal.

"We should end it, King Maven." The king says.
"That would help our little, outbreak."
He shakes my hand and a swift comes in to give us a paper.
I write 'King Maven' at the top. Lakelanders King and Queen sign to.
"Thank you, this means so much to Norta, and my wife," I let my guard down, and give a smile.

Mare squeaks and smiles the whole way home. "My family is coming home!!!"
I smile, and kiss her.
"Yes they are,"

Immediately after we get home, Mare crashes on the bed and falls asleep. I write a letter. Let's just hope they didn't change their minds.
"You called, Your Majesty?"
"Mail this now," I coldly say.
"Of course, Sir," The red walks off.

"Mavey??" Mare groans
"Mare? I ask.
"It hurts,"
I rush to her side, helping her out of bed. "It's only five months, you, you, can't." I'm breathing hard, just as her.
"I NEED A SERVENT!" I yell.
"Sir?!"
"Grab a wheelchair!"
He rushes away and comes back immediately. Mare climbs in with my help. "Get doctors ready!"

I finally rush Mare down to the ward.
The healers and doctors immediately help.
"King Maven," The healer almost laughs. "This is her body just, getting ready for birth." I sigh and hear a bark of a laugh behind me.
"I thought you of all people would do your research, Mare is your obsession."
Evangeline.
"Eve, not the time," Mare smirks.
"Oh yes."
"Go ahead then,"
"Once the Queen gives birth, she will have more rule. Is that not correct?"
I quirk an eyebrow.
