"Do you think Hatice will be happy to see us?" I asked as the carriage stopped in front of her castle. Suleiman got out first before helping me down.

"Of course she will" He smiled at me before walking towards the castle. I followed him in as an agha announced Suleiman's arrival to Hatice and Ibrahim pasha. I bowed to hatice sultan as Suleiman walked closer to her.

"Hatice" He smiled brightly at her pulling her closer to place a kiss on her forehead before pulling away to look at her.

"Mashallah you look much better and your face is rosy and relaxed" He finished pulling fully away from her as she smiled. I looked at Ibrahim pasha who was watching Hatice with a smile on his face full of love and adoration.

"Your majesty, you honor me with your visit," She said grinning up at him before her eyes trailed to me and gave me a smile which I returned. My gaze moved to the maids at the side stopping at Sadika hatun making me lose my smile and a glare took over my face. Hurrem told me that Sadika almost spent the night with Suleiman when she was away with the Valide and I was being distracted by Sunbul agha the same day Shehzade Mehmed almost drowned.

"My face gets rosy only when I see you" I smiled at Hatice's kind words towards her older brother.

"Ibrahim, you still haven't told me about how you fixed the rebellion in Egypt, I want to know," Suleiman said smiling at his grand vizier and best friend and at the same time the husband of his sister.

"I am ready to tell you anything you want," Ibrahim said bowing to Suleiman who smiled brightly at him.

"Then I and Qamar will give you two some space," Hatice said walking over to where I stood silently watching the interaction between the three of them.

"Would you like to see the new decoration of the rooms upstairs?" She asked me.

"Of course sultana, your majesty?" I turned to look at Suleiman for permission, he nodded his head. We both bowed before leaving the room and going upstairs.

"What are your plans for the night?" Hatice asked as we sat down on the couch in the extra room in the room we walked into.

"Staying up late with the children on my own since tonight is Hurrem's night" I answered as a maid walked into the room with a tray in her hand with cups on it. I took one of the cups and took a sip.

"Don't feel sad besides I won't be letting you or my brother leave today, you two will be spending the night here in my castle" She said placing her cup down after barely drinking barely anything at all. Sadika walked in and bowed to us ruining my mood.

"Sultanim, dinner is ready if you like for us to serve it," She said looking up at Hatice then at me before looking down immediately when she met my glare.

"I'll inform the sultan" Hatice stood up and walked out of the room. I followed her stopping beside Sadika and looked at her over my shoulder.

"I would watch my steps if I were you Sadika" I warned before leaving the room and walked behind Hatice sultan into the main room where Hatice was already speaking with Suleiman.

"I wish for you to spend the night here with us, you and Qamar," She said with a soft smile that was hard to resist.

"Please, we would love to wake up to your holy face in the morning," She said pleadingly making Suleiman smile softly.

"First of all, I don't want to eat the fruits was enough, but after your beautiful words, I won't break your wish. I could never refuse my dear sister's wishes" He said making her grin happily and turn to look at me with a glint in her eyes, she wasn't only doing this for herself but for me too.

"Your majesty, excuse me I will send for the castle so they won't wait for you" Ibrahim bowed before leaving the room with Suleiman's permission. Hatice walked over to Suleiman and hugged him tightly.

"I will order them to prepare for your rooms to stay in," Hatice said pulling away from Suleiman who raised his eyebrow.

"Rooms? Qamar will stay with me in my room" He said looking behind her at me making me blush and look down at my hands.

"I thought you didn't like to break the order and tonight is Hurrem's night," Hatice said cheekily.

"One night won't be the end of the world," He said before letting her leave to prepare the room we will be spending the night in.

"Qamar, come here" I walked over to him and he immediately wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me over to one of the windows.

"The night sky is beautiful, but it's missing one thing, do you know what it is?" He asked turning his gaze to me. I looked at the sky carefully to find the thing that was missing.

"The moon is not visible" I pointed out since I could only see the stars, it was probably a cloud covering it.

"Do you know why it's not visible?" He asked again turning his full body to face me and I did the same. He took my hands into his as I shook my head 'no'.

"Because it's standing right in front of me" He answered making me blush furiously and look down at our intertwined hands. I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous leaning forward against him.

"What's wrong darling?" He asked worriedly guiding me towards the sitting area in the room and helped me sit down.

"aghas, call the doctor" He ordered the aghas at the door as Hatice walked in. She ran over and sat down beside me looking at me worriedly. Ibrahim stood to the side unable to do anything.

"I'm fine, there's no need for a doctor," I said trying to shake them off but Hatice shook her head.

"Let her check up on you and she will decide," Hatice said helping me stand up and pulled me to the room being prepared for me and Suleiman. I laid down on the bed so maybe the nausea would stop a bit.

The doctor walked in and started checking up at me. I didn't like being checked up by a doctor, it was awkward and really annoying. I hated having people looking up everywhere on my body until they found the source of the sickness.

"What is wrong with her?" Hatice asked as the doctor pulled away from me. I stood up and fixed myself as the doctor put away her things.

"Her majesty is pregnant" I froze for a second as the words left her mouth. I couldn't help but pull the doctor in for a hug feeling over the moon.

"Congratulations Qamar, I will inform the sultan," Hatice said as I pulled away from the doctor before she left the room with the doctor and the maids

"Congratulations Qamar, I will inform the sultan," Hatice said as I pulled away from the doctor before she left the room with the doctor and the maids.

"Take this medicine, it will help with nasua" The doctor handed me a vial with yellow liquid in it before leaving the room behind Hatice Sultan.

I sat down on the bed and placed my hands on my stomach. I was going to bring my love, Suleiman, another child and if I was lucky it would be another son if Allah wanted. I looked up as Suleiman walked into the room and sat down on the bed beside me.

"You made me really happy today, Qamar," He said pulling my face so I would be looking at him. He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead making me smile.

"I am alive to make you happy," I said back. he pulled me closer and kissed my lips making my heart skip a beat at his soft touches.
