\u201cYou\u2019re right, we\u2019ll ask them tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya put the book aside, snuggled against Cassians chest, and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Great Love Story\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope we can find the key.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m sure we will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
***\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had gone to his office after dinner since he had quite a bit of work to catch up on. Someone knocked on his office door; it was Gabriel asking if he could come in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty, there\u2019s something I\u2019d like to inform you about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro asked without lifting his gaze from the papers in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about your wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Immediately, Alessandro looked up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on with my wife?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe asked me not to say anything, but I believe you need to know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeak, Gabriel, get to the point. What\u2019s going on with Abril?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe hasn\u2019t been feeling well for several days; she\u2019s been experiencing dizziness, nausea, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
headaches.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro stood up, visibly agitated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs she sick? Why didn\u2019t you tell me sooner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe insisted it was nothing, but it\u2019s been a week, and the symptoms haven\u2019t subsided.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCall a doctor immediately, have them come to my quarters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro headed to the door, just before crossing the threshold, Gabriel said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty, I\u2019m not entirely sure, but my wife experienced similar symptoms recently.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat illness did your wife have?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife wasn\u2019t sick; she was pregnant. Perhaps the queen is too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro was stunned. Abril\u2019s mother had told her it was best not to have children for the time\u00a0<\/p>\n
being, and he also believed it was best since a war would soon break out. He leaned against the\u00a0<\/p>\n
door frame, feeling a wave of dizziness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPregnant?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s most likely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Great Love Story\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell the doctor to come early tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you command, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro went straight to his room, leaving his work behind without a second thought. Abril was already lying in bed, sleeping deeply. He approached her and caressed her cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAby, wake up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril felt her eyelids heavy; since opening the second seal, she had been feeling constantly tired and dizzy. She forced herself to open her eyes and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, Lessan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me you weren\u2019t feeling well?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril cleared her mind, sat up in the bed, and seeing Alessandro so worried, she caressed his\u00a0<\/p>\n
cheek and replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want to make you worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGabriel told me you\u2019ve been feeling dizzy and nauseous. Is that true?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but I\u2019ll feel better soon; I just need to rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro brushed a strand of hair from Abril\u2019s face and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGabriel thinks you might be pregnant because his wife had the same symptoms when she was\u00a0<\/p>\n
expecting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril hadn\u2019t wanted to tell Alessandro that she had broken a second seal because he had many other things to take care of, and if he had found out he would surely have left everything to be with\u00a0<\/p>\n
her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s it, Lessan. I\u2019ve actually broken another seal that keeps my magic contained.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? When did that happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA week ago. I\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t want you to worry, so I didn\u2019t tell you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbril, I\u2019m your husband, and I\u2019m here for you. You should tell me these things; you shouldn\u2019t bear everything alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019ll tell you next time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve called for the doctor; he\u2019ll examine you tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be fine in a few days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven so, I\u2019ll feel more at ease if he examines you. I also ask Sirius to check on you to ensure\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Great Love Story\u00a0<\/p>\n
everything is fine with your magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro hugged her, giving a sigh of relief and disappointment at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad to know you\u2019re not sick. I was very scared when Gabriel told me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWould you have hated it if I was pregnant?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro pulled back a little to look directly at Abril\u2019s face and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
