A Court Of Family and fire

----6 months later---

Feyre pov

I'm officially ten months pregnant. Which i was very confused by. Because human pregnancies would usually last around nine months i didn't know that fae pregnancies were longer. Sooo, when I hit the nine months mark I started getting ready. I made i daemati connection with madja so i could call to her as soon as i went into labor, i started to prepare a spare room, I EVEN MADE THE GODDAM NURSERY and i also made cassian, mor and azriel to take a babysitting classes. It was very embarrassing when i called madja in the middle of the night telling her i think there is something wrong with the baby because i wasn't going into labor. When Rhys woke to our conversation he started laughing while I was crying my eyes out. Word spread to the rest of my family very quickly about the ordeal and I was the subject of many jokes and jabs from them, especially Isla. I think I laughed the most at her jokes. She would run downstairs in a panic with a pillow stuffed under her shirt fake crying and yelling that there was something wrong with her baby. I have only known isla and celeste for six months but i already know i would do anything for her, and to be fair i usually have no choice when isla shoots me with her big blue eyes.

I remember when Mor introduced us to her mate and her little sister. Mor had run into the house when cassian, nesta, elain, rhys, azriel, amren and I were eating lunch together when mor burst through the front door dragging a shockingly beautiful woman behind her and the woman in turn was caring a equally beautiful little girl with a smile on her face that could melt my heart. More than pulled out 2 seats for the girls and took Azriel to a room upstairs. I don't know exactly what they spoke about but as far as I know more apologised for stringing him along all these years and came out to him. They have been friends now and Isla and him have become partners in crime.

As I walk downstairs for lunch I sense a small presence following me downstairs. I instantly know it is isla, but of course i would never ruin the joke for her. I continue walking downstairs and I see a sandwich on the table. There is a note alongside it "my dear mate i had to head out for some work stuff with azriel and cassian, please enjoy this sandwich i made you with all of your favorite things" i scan the note once more and it is so obvious that is not his handwriting. I make an act of licking my lips and rubbing my very swollen belly. I then reach down to take a bite. When I took a bite of it I instantly tasted.... Oh, no. this was not isla.

I went to spit out the food but a hand came from behind and covered my nose and mouth forcing me to swallow. And just as I try to call to Rhys through the bond it kicks in. the toxin they put in my food, faebane. I whirl around to face my attacker and see they have a soft black mask covering their face. And theni see the twin blades. I take a step back. The hooded fae laughs. Its a males voice. Then he swipes with his left blade and goes for my stomach and i spin just in time. I spare a quick glance down at my stomach to make sure there was no damage. When there was none i released a breath, and then i feel the searing line of pain across my lower back. The fae lets out another dark chuckle and i take the opportunity to swing my leg up and kicked him in the face. My kick lands perfectly and because my kick takes alot of momentum my back is faceing him again and just as he goes to stab my lower back i elbow him in the face and then kick out my back leg and kick him in the stomach. He staggers back and i make a run for the door, but because of the slice on my back i have lost alot of blood and my running is slow, painful and staggered. My attacker takes the opportunity and throws the knife at my head but i dodge and it hits my right shoulder instead. He then throws the second knife and it hits its mark right in my spine. I cry out in pain. But i keep running. I run to the closest place i know. Celestes bakery.

I am taking another tray of fresh croissants out to the window when i hear the bell at the door go off. It is a cute little golden thing that alerts me when a customer walks in.
