"I don't have any land of my own yet and have no clue how to get it back. What use is it to be a queen of a land where you do not rule?" Melody asked with a hint of anger.
"Because I am a female and unfit to rule. Women do not rule, they bare babies and do dainty things. I hate the Sultan's ruling. A female can rule just as well as a man if given the desire and chance." was the reply.
"Because I only lived there for about 2 years. There was a cival unrest and my parents were killed. I was given to a gypsy to deliver me to some home with a trunk, a basket of clothes and a doll by my nanny. No one knew where I was or if I was even alive. Lord Pentre knew who I was by my name. Maybe of my mannerisms. I worked at King Conrad's castle as a kitchen girl.
To make a long story short, I fell in love with Prince Merthyr and went on a picnic....got captured by Lord Pentre and his men....And you can figure out the rest." she spoke as she looked at the ground.

"Thanks, Brian. You are a good friend and lover. " Melody smiled up at him as she tried to think of happier thoughts.
"No matter what it is? " Melody asked quite bluntly.
"Hmmmm....... we shall see when the time comes which will be quite soon. Is this blasted storm going to let up? I have an appointment after lunch....." Melody asked as she laid her head against Brian's chest for comfort.
"That is so good to hear but not as good as you holding me......." Melody murmered softly.
"Same here...... But we didn't and now we must face the consequences, whether they be bad or whether they be bad." Melody spoke softly.
"Let's go then. " Melody spoke as she gave Prince a firm push backwards then turned him around so she could get him in position for her to mount.
"Sure. Thanks......" Melody smiled at Brian.
She mounted Prince with Brian's help.

Queen Melody rode behind Sir Brian with her head held up high. Her thoughts were elsewhere and what the possibilities were in store for her.
Melody was hurried up the stairs and to her room where she was quickly cleaned up and hair was brushed to get the sand out of it. A gown was placed on her and she was placed in her bed with her private journal to wait for the doctor.
The doctor came in with her maid. He asked a number of questions and listened to her heart lungs then took her pulse.
"I heard that you were out in the sand storm. Not a good idea in your condition. And yes, you pregnant. About 2 months along. I am leaving a suggested food list and suggested activity list.
Now about the father?" he asked.
"I will tell him. Give me an hour or so before telling Lord Pentre or the Sultan. I am sure that he will want to know first." Melody spoke quietly as she closed her eyes.
"Very well. I will sit in your lounge for a bit then head downstairs and do my best to give you a full hour. I can not promise more than that." dr spoke as he packed up his things.
"I'll make the suggested lists there."

Melody waited in her bed and wondered where Brian might be. She could only hope that he will do what he could for her..... mainly marrying her so that the baby will be a legitiment one.
The maid went to the door and stepped back to allow Brian inside. The doctor was just finishing up with the lists.
"Come in Sir Brian. I am sure that she will see you but let me finish up with the Doctor's busness." she spoke meekly.
"I'm just leaving. Make sure that Queen Melody gets plenty of good food and plenty of rest. Here are the 2 lists that I have made for her to follow.
I'll be back next week to check on her." The doctor spoke as he handed the maid the lists.
"Thank you, Doctor. I'll do my best." the maid spoke as she took the papers.

"Come in." Melody called out from her bed. She had a bed coat on and sitting up with her lap desk.
"I am doing ok. Please come in and close the door." Melody spoke as she smiled softly.
"I have missed 2 monthlies but I didn't think about being pregnant since there was no morning sickness. " Melody admitted.
"Yes." Melody spoke softly.
"So what are your thoughts now that it has been confirmed?"
"So what are your thoughts now that it has been confirmed?"
"So am I." Melody spoke softly looking at Brian.
