Autumn Romance

"This is why I asked you earlier if you would do anything for me." Melody spoke softly.
"So would you marry me and help me raise this baby?"

"I am sure that you will a good father because you are very caring person. " Melody spoke as she reached for Brian's hand.
"When shall we have the wedding? I don't need a formal wedding with all of the fuss. Afterall Guinevere just was...."

"Let's say in 3 days? I am on bedrest for a day." Melody spoke quietly.

"My sewing basket would be nice and my sketch pad from my desk over there. Is there some kind of a lap desk that I can work from in my bed? One with a lid and such? I drew one up but never got around to making it. The pattern is the sketch book......" Melody spoke softly from where she laid.

"I would like that very much. Here......." Melody carefully tears out a page.
"I am sure that your uncle will understand to demensions. I just hope that he knows how to make trip latches."

"Perhaps some tea and tiny cakes? It would be nice anyways. I hope he can make some hidden switches so that everything will stay hidden until I want it to be open. Tell him thanks for me. And thank you as well, my dear." Melody spoke as she kissed Brian gently.

Melody closed her eyes and wondered just how did she get into this mess. Well, maybe not how exactly for she knew the mechanics of it but how could she be so far off in her timing? She always knew to the day when things changed. She should have been more careful.

Tiny tears dripped down her face as she faced the facts that were in front of her. She realized that she had focused too much on other things and not enough on herself. Not the education part but her own body. She had gone through her routines quickly so that she could get to her studies, do any healing that was required of her and attending ceremonial dinners that was required of herself.

If she was a Queen, she would need to attend all of the Royal Dinners, all meetings of all kinds and so many other things that she would have to do.

"What is done, is done. I guess that I shall have to admit it Sultan Cendred, Lord Pentre, Lady Thana, Prince Merthyr and Prince Alekus...........

"Come in." Melody spoke as she moved from the bed to the chair so she could et more comfortably. She had to remember to eat now that she had to feed the baby.

Melody looked at Brian in amazment.

"He can make it in just a few hours? I figured it would take weeks......" she spoke then looked at the food.
"It all looks very good. The water can be for later so please sit it on the table by the bed..... I'll drink some milk and have a few of the cakes with fruit jam inside, please.

Want to eat with me? There is more than enough for me and the baby...... that sounds so nice yet so strange at the same time."

Melody smiled at Brian and began to eat slowly. After a few minutes she paused and asked

"What do you think of our predicument? Honestly and truely."

"I am scared as well. But I am sure that they already know since they sent a doctor to look at me and confirm that I was pregnant. I'm not sure as to what to do...... But we need to stand united on this. I don't want to lose you or our baby.

I'll think of something.... not sure what but something much better than what we are thinking right now." Melody smiled weakly.

"I love you very much, Brian. " Melody looked over at Brian with tired eyes.
"I think that we should get married as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"Then let's talk to Lord Pentre about it. I'll designed a dress and have a few maids help me make it. How does that sound?" she smiled softly at Brian.

"Do you wnat me to design a suit for you? I could if you want me to." she smiles brightly for she was thinking of designing clothes.

"Let me see what I can do. Hand me my sketchbook, please Sweetheart." she asked softly.

((Ok. let go get it))

"Yes, it looks good on you. If you wanted to have it slightly longer in the back, it would like good too. But that is your choice."

"I need to design a royal emblem.......... A dragon with a rose in it's claw would be quite interesting, wouldn't?" she asked as she smiled at at him.
"Just maybe a small trim. I like running my hands through your hair....."

"Ummmm...... I hope that you do realize that you would also be made a king, right?" Melody spoke slightly hesitantly.

"Together we shall rule with a firm hand. Justice will previal. And our kingdom will flourish. " Melody smiled as she stood up and hugged Brian.
"I do love you so much, Sweetheart. So very much indeed."

"Care to lie beside for a while? I am a bit tired." Melody whispered softly as she kissed him.
