The aftermath of the war wasn't pretty. Their were many casualties from both sides. Anyways after I was almost killed, Echo gave me my dagger back and I gave her her daughter, Gravely. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was forever grateful for her daughter back.

Then in return she handed over the Queen and Prince and signed a treaty that the rebels would never attack the palace again. Although I wasn't there long enough to see it because as soon as the war was sorted out I passed out from too much blood lost.

Anyways here I am, 1 year later telling you about that night I'd rather forget mostly because my side still has an ugly scar on it, but it seems the people of Illea still want to talk about it because it's on the news almost every night.

"Foods ready!" Zach yells from the kitchen. Yes, if you can believe it, Zach is cooking.

As I walk downstairs I join my lovely husband at the breakfast table.

"I made lots so you better not forget to feed the little one!" Zach says smiling as he danced out of the kitchen holding two trays with plates stacked full of bacon, eggs and toast.

I smile as he puts the plate in front of me and puts his hands around me to hold my stomach.

"Oh! I think I felt a kick!" He says excitedly.

"Oh! I think I felt it too!" I say even though I didn't actually feel a kick.

"You're right, I didn't feel a kick, but I wish I did," he says honestly.

Zach turns towards me and leans down and kisses my stomach before looking up into my eyes.

"Now eat up, I think he's hungry," he says.

Oh, yeah sorry about that, you were probably really confused! But anyways I forgot to mention I'm pregnant!
