A Court Of Family and fire

HOLY CAULDERON- feyre/rhysand

Feyre pov.

I'm standing in my closet looking at the dresses I bought for starfall. I was cutting it a bit short on time. Starfall was tonight. I finally decided on a dress. It is a light gold floor length gown with a thin strap v-line neck. It has little diamonds sewn into the bodice making it look like stars shining in the sky. But most importantly it shows a small baby bump, not enough to be super obvious but if you knew it was there you could tell. 3 days ago when madja told me i was pregnant i was shocked. I was even more shocked to discover I was 4 months along. When I told Rhys he was ecstatic. And he spent all night showing me just how much. When i start to recall the memories of that night the little voice comes into my head, hey that's gross i love that voice, the voice of my child. I reply sorry my darling I say and send some loving and warm feelings into their mind.

What are they like? My child asks into my mind

Who are you talking about my dear? I reply to them

Our family they state simply. I instantly know who they are talking about. I send memories of Mor, Azriel, Cassian, Amren, Nesta, Elain and finally Rhys.

I think uncle cassian is my favorite they say besides you and dad of course

Never tell uncle Cassian that. I will never hear the end of it, none of us will. I reply in mock horror

Ok they say with a chuckle but they continue tamlin is my least favorite

At that I am speechless, i didnt even realise that I had included tamilin as part of my memories for them. But tamilin is a part of my past, and I understand that. We have been on good terms since the end of the war. He is now happily married to a sweet fae named mel-rose, fitting. Mel-rose is everything tamilin wanted in a wife. She is passive, sweet, respectful but she also doesn't speak her mind and is constantly silenced when she does. I know she loves tamilin and i am glad she found someone, after she lost her child in the war.

Mom? My child pulls me out of my thoughts

Sorry darling. I just got lost in my thoughts. I have to go to starfall now but i promise to show you when it is over i assure them

Ok mom, I love you. My heart clenches and a single happy tear falls down my face

I love you too

"Feyre? Darling?" rhys calls

"Sorry rhys, i'm coming" i called down. I got up out of my chair and went to walk downstairs. I wiped the tear from my face. I haven't told Rhys our child is daemati yet. I'll tell him tonight, I will.

"Feyre" rhys calls "you said that an hour ago"

WHAT! I had been showing memories for an hour?? I look out the window and realise it is starting to get dark so i urgently rush down stairs and winnow rhys and i straight to the house of wind.

Rhys pov.

Feyre winnows us into the house of wind with not a moment to spare. We were planning on being early but when i reached to her down the bond to ask her to come down i saw all these memories of our family and saw how peaceful she was watching them again.

When we get to the house of wind everyone is waiting for us. I look over everyone and notice Cassian, I don't know exactly what he is doing but I know by the facial expression he is making he is bursting to tell us something. When i reach to his mind he slams his mental barriers shut to fast he almost squashes my consciousness. I shot cassian a light glare and he gives me a vulgar gesture. I roll my eyes and go sit down with feyre. When mor comes round to give us a glass of wine but feyre obviously declines, when mor looks at her questioningly feyre stands up and i stay seated and take a sip of my wine only to be tugged up by feyre and almost spilling my wine in the process

Hey what was that for i say into her min

It's our baby so we will tell them together. She replies pointedly and you better not get blackout drunk tonight she adds

"We have some news," Feyre starts. She nervously clasps my hand "i'm pregnant"

"YES" Cassian yells and at the sudden noise fiery jumps.

Feyre looks at Cassian and then me and then back at cassian. She looks so confused, until Azriel begrudgingly passes a black velvet bag that jingles with the distinctive sound of coins. Feyre stares daggers at them.

"YOU KNEW" the yells (i'm pretty sure the pregnancy hormones are kicking in) "CASSIAN DID YOU TELL EVERYBODY!!!"

Cassian quickly explains himself in self preservation "no, no no no" feyre looks unconvinced "feyre i promise i didn't azriel smelt it on you and he accidently slipped it out to me but i already knew so i tried to deny it but he didn't believe me so then i admitted it and then we made a harmless bet"

Mor and amren look like they are about to laugh, feyre looks like she is about to bite someone's head off. Elain could see that so she ran over with nesta and gave feyre a crushing hug, during so i saw nesta whispering something in fayres war that made her face go white with fear. She quickly regained her composure and when her sisters released him it was like nothing happened.

The inner circle took turns in giving feyre hugs and clapping me on the back. When Amren spoke to me.

"Your child will be more powerful than you can know. More powerful than you, more powerful than feyre, more powerful than the bone carver, the weaver or boraxis. They may only be equal in strength to the cauldron itself, and when they inherit yours and feyres power." she paused " they will be the most powerful being in the realm, and that power will either consume her and make them pure and good or do the opposite." she looks at me gravely " their training must be your utmost priority. It must be all of ours"

I nod to her in understanding "we will take care of them"

"Anyway guys" feyre interrupts "do you guys wanna meet them?"

We all stare at her like she is insane

"The child" she explains "is daemati" we all look at her then her slightly swollen stomach "i have been communicating with them"

All of our eyes start to tear.

"Who wants to go first" she asks with a hand on her stomach

"I will" cassian says weakly and he steps forward

"Oh dear mother cauldron" feyre says "i showed them some memories and i hate to say this guys" she looks around at us " but out of all their aunts and uncles" she pauses " they say cassian is their favorite" she looks over to me and i obviously look like i am about to murder cassian when she quickly amends "besides their parents of course" and i feel my anger diminishing"

We all take turns talking to my baby, if you can call it talking at all. Later that night I fell asleep in my mate's arms and in my child's mind.

~hey sorry that this doesn't have much starfall stuff but i'm planning some starfall in the future~
