Scott's Fiction
Love's Journey
Part 6
Home Sweet Home

 

Love's Journey is a Voltron Fan Fiction by Scott. This Fiction is rated R18+ due to extreme violence, adult concepts and the odd sexual encounter. The story focuses on the relationships between ALL the Voltron characters but especially on the relationship between Captain Keith and Princess Allura as they struggle with their feelings for one another. The story is VERY soppy in places so if that ISN'T your thing, turn away now.

Voltron and all other characters are the property of W.E.P. This is an amateur fiction and no profit is being made in anyway from this venture.

I would like to thank SGB for his fantastic collection of Voltron and Golion images, without which many of the pictures in this fiction would not exist.

Love's Journey
Part 6
Home Sweet Home

Allura woke up very early the next morning. Looking around she realised she was alone and suddenly she was full of panic, as if afraid it was all a dream. "Keith.... Keith!" She called.

She clambered out of the bed and ran for the door in her bare feet, running outside without looking she must have nearly hit him at full pace, knocking them both over into a heap in the cold snow. "Yowwwch!" Keith cried as he slammed into the ground and rolled over to face Allura.

She looked up and realised she had hurt him, she didn't quite know how she was going to explain this one! "Oh I.... I'm so sorry Keith, I didn't mean to ....., I'm so sorry!"

Keith jumped up and shook himself off. "I'm alright but Ally what's the matter?"

She just smiled and he noticed the tears welling in her eyes as he helped her up and dusted her off. "Come on tell me, what was that all about? I've heard of falling head over heals but......."

The Princess stopped his interrogation with a kiss, "I woke up alone and I thought yesterday was a dream, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you! It was just when you weren't there I.........Oh you must think I'm a complete idiot!" She replied burying her very red face in her hands.

Keith held her tight in his arms and gently dusted the snow off her back, "Ally I don't think that at all and in fact I had to pinch myself this morning too, I couldn't believe I wasn't dreaming when I woke up with you in my arms"

Shivering he put his arm around her shoulder, "Now Are you going to help me get dressed or does your Captain have to dress himself?"

Is this the same Keith, I thought he didn't like it when I helped him to dress? Allura thought to herself as she took his hand and curtsied. "Of course my Captain!"

With that she led him into the tent, closing the flap behind her. He couldn't help noticing how happy she seemed after he'd asked her. I don't know if I will ever get used to having someone dress me, but I guess if it makes her feel needed. He thought to himself.

As she lifted up a second fur to wrap around his chest he beckoned her to stop and she stood perfectly still, unsure what to do. He took the fur off her and let it fall to the ground as he pulled her close and kissed her forehead. "It is not time just yet" he whispered.

She gave a confused frown, wondering what on earth he was up to. He did just ask me to help dress him didn't he?, was I too rough? Did I hurt him again? Keith gently lifted her into his arms and lay her down on the bed. Now she understood and her heart raced, "So there is another service you wish of me first my Captain?"

 

Later Landara knocked and entered the yurt, shortly before the midday meal was due to be served. She had come to check on the couple as they had not risen yet and she saw that Keith was asleep. His beloved Princess was awake and stroking his hair gently, running it through her hands as he lay sleeping on top of her. Only her head was poking out of the fur blankets. Landara towed a small cart in behind her with large copper urns on it.

"Good morning" Allura remarked with a grin.

"Well I see it most certainly must have been in here!" Landara chuckled as she gathered up the scattered pieces of Allura's uniform lying about the yurt. The young Princess blushed realising the mess they had made.

"And how is he feeling today?" Landara whispered as she sat on the chair next to the bed and sponged Allura's particularly dirty face clean.

"His hand is still hurting him but he seems to be a lot stronger than yesterday". Allura responded quietly.

Landara gave a chuckle, "That's good to hear, love is perhaps the best medicine I know of!"

"What is your name, kind lady?"

"I am called Landara, Princess". She replied as she gently untied Allura's very messy and knotted hair. She produced a crude looking brush and gently brushed the tangled locks straight. When she had finished she turned to her, "Perhaps you might want to wash, you and Mister Keith! I have brought four urns of very warm water and some soap from my own collection. It was given to me by a lowlander many years ago! I give it to you to use as we have our own tribal soaps and it would dishonour the tribe to use a different type. Also here is a nice tribal dress for you, Shania's peace offering I think!"

"Oh Landara, thank you so much and tell Shania that, Keith's Princess.........Yes KEITH'S Princess, thanks her very much for such a splendid dress and thanks her very much for looking after her Captain".

"Oh I will dear, now here's the hair brush, we'll see you soon, enjoy your bath!" Landara grinned as she handed the brush to Allura and left the yurt, closing the flap of the yurt behind her.

Allura tenderly kissed Keith on the cheek before whispering into his ear, "My Love, time for a bath, come on!"

"Do I really have to get up?" he mumbled in a sleepy but satisfied voice.

"I think we should, I haven't had a bath in well..........a while and I smell!" The Princess replied shyly.

"Ally you DO NOT smell, well anything but nice that is!" Keith replied politely even though he quite agreed that a bath for her wasn't a bad idea.

"YOU......What am I going to do with you Keith?" She grinned.

"You could be my girl if you wished?" Keith grinned.

The Princess pinned his hands back next to his head and straddled him, "I AM your girl, now and forever, don't you forget it either!" She whispered seductively as she pressed her lips to his in a lasting embrace.

 

The Barbarian shower was a very crude set up and Keith had to show Allura just how it was done. He chuckled as he remembered Hennigor showing him! The big man had no shame, he simply walked in, stripped off and stood in the corner of the yurt that had the little drain dug into it leading outside the yurt. He had dipped his head in the first urn and wet his hair, before lathering it in their tribal soap. Then he had dipped his head back in the urn and rinsed it off. He then scooped out some water from the urn and wet his body, lathering that in soap. Finally he had lifted both urns above his head and washed himself down.

Allura decided that it would be quicker if they helped each other. She lathered her Captain up from head to toe, gently working the soap into his body. He in turn lathered her petite form in soap as well. They worked the soap into their hair before dipping their heads in the urns to rinse it off.

Finally Allura hugged Keith, and he lifted and emptied each of the urns over the top of them both, rinsing them clean. Allura's previously dirty complexion shone as the warrior Princess returned to being the Princess he remembered.

They toweled each other off and Allura lovingly brushed Keith's hair for him. He in turn sat her on his lap and she dreamily drifted away as he brushed her golden locks. She couldn't help but think how wonderful it was to be loved and to be in love! Even something as simple as taking a bath was a special moment! Finally she stood still as Keith slid her dress up her body and over her shoulders. It was a pretty dress, even though it was a fur lined one. "Pocahontas!" He replied with a grin as he wrapped his old belt around her waist and adjusted the katana.

"Poca what?" Allura asked completely bewildered.

"Oh, yeah....Well Pocahontas was........Hmmm, a warrior woman amongst the American Indian people on Earth a very long time ago. You remind me of her, my WARRIOR Princess.

"WARRIOR Princess? I suppose I am now hey! I am warrior, hear me roar! Grrrrr!" She giggled as she wrestled her Captain.

"Ahh watch the hand Ally, still sore!" Keith laughed.

"YOU are using that as an excuse so that I won't tickle you!" She pouted.

Keith flashed her an angelic smile, "Who me? Excuse? No I wouldn't do that!"

She tackled him on to the bed and tried her best to tickle him but he overpowered her and soon she was thrashing around in his arms and shrieking with laughter, "Stowp, Keeeeheeeheeeheeeth!"

He stopped tickling her and gently kissed her lips, allowing her to get some breath back. "Meany!" She replied pouting at him.

"Awww don't try THAT on me you loved it!" Keith grinned.

The Princess tried to continue her, 'I am mad at you act' but it fell away in seconds and she smiled, "Okay, you know me too well! I do LOVE it! SOME times!"

Allura helped to dress Keith and this time he didn't move a muscle, he was completely relaxed.

"Shall we my handsome Warrior?" She asked offering him her elbow.

He nodded and took up her hand, leading her outside to towards the great fireplace where the tribe would have their meals. "Captain Keith and Princess Allura, Honorary warriors of tribe Bearclaw!" Lance replied as he and Hunk bowed before them dressed in furs themselves.

"Ahh if it isn't Lord Hunk and his dutiful servant!" Allura teased.

"SERVANT? He's a LORD and I am a servant?" Lance gasped as Keith, Hunk and Allura laughed at him.

The Princess pulled away from Keith and hugged the Red Lion Pilot, "I was only teasing, you will always be a LORD in my house Lance”.

He hugged her back and this time his usual jocular one liner didn't follow. Instead he smiled and whispered, "Thank you, I'm honoured you think so highly of me".

Arm in arm the four friends headed to lunch, Hunk and Lance continuing to tell Keith about Allura's magnificent stand against the Vulkars, which they were still in awe of!

After their meal Keith was leaning against a pine tree when Lance and Hunk noticed something very different about their Captain and their Princess. Allura slowly walked over to him and ducked underneath his arm as she cuddled up to him, resting her head on his shoulder. Keith turned and faced her, wrapping his arms around her before they slowly walked arm in arm towards the village outskirts. Allura looked up at Keith with a silly grin and skipped along beside him as they went, "Come on Keith!"

"Hunk are you seeing this?" Lance gasped.

"Ally! I can't I.............."

"Keith you can SO! Come on!"

"Nuh uh, I am NOT skipping!" Keith replied in protest.

Allura stopped and rested her forehead against his, Lance and Hunk couldn't hear what it was she said exactly and as she placed both her hands on Keith's cheeks his jaw dropped open, causing him to blush before he shrugged his shoulders and skipped along with her.

"Umm Lance is Keith..........SKIPPING like a schoolgirl?"

"Ermmmm okay, now if somebody told me that Keith was skipping along with Allura I would ask them what they were drinking and if I could have some too! But....here they are!"

"Lance I don't think Nanny's little Princess is a virgin anymore........."

"WHAT? You mean Keith and her...............Oh come on! You know Keith is a virgin he.............Nah! They haven't I'll bet!" Lance answered.

Hunk smiled, "Oh yeah, explain THAT then! I'll bet five cases of Arusian Ale that they have!"

"Well I.........Okay big guy! You're on!" Lance chuckled as they shook hands on it.

Four days later back at the Castle, Pidge had finally come up with a way to track them! He had shot a tracking signal he had made through the portal and using satellite he was able to pinpoint its location! "They're here on Arus, the Arzulla Mountain range! It’s less than two hours flight time!" He exclaimed.

Early the next morning He and Sven set out to find them, Sven in the Blue Lion and Pidge in his Green. Later that day as the Two Lions entered the mountains, Pidge's voice crackled over Blue Lion's COM link, "They've gotta be around here somewhere Sven!"

"But where do we start, nothing but endless snow?"

"The castle database reported that this area is inhabited by tribes of nomadic Barbarians. Let's split up and see if we can find any villages or shelter, you've gotta assume if they're here then that's where they'd be!" Pidge replied as the pair split up and began their desperate search.

Back in the castle Nanny was still terribly worried, "My poor Baby, out in that wilderness, all alone".

"And the poor Captain, what of him?" Romelle added hugging her.

Coran looked up from his console, and scratched his chin, "Our Voltron team members are a very resourceful bunch Romelle, I think we'll find that they will be alright...."

"Don't worry Nanny! Sven and Pidge will find them, you'll see". Romelle replied as Coran returned to his duties on the Control Room monitor.

"The repair and reconstruction of the Black Lion are proceeding well and it shouldn't be long before we are able to form Voltron again. Now if we can only locate our brave Voltron force!" He remarked as he flicked through the Maintenance hangar's reports.

"What if we can't find them Coran, my poor, poor baby, she's lost out there, can't we take a shuttle and help look for her?"

"Nanny, our best chance is for Pidge and Sven to track their Wristcom signals using the Lions, we just have to wait." An anxious Coran replied.

"Come on Nanny, we have lots to do, Ally will be back soon enough and we haven't done anything for her wedding yet!" Romelle called as she moved towards the ballroom.

Nanny gasped and she trailed after Romelle "My goodness you're right, we can't have her coming home to find that we have been lazy!"

As they entered the ballroom where only a week earlier almost everyone had crammed in to see the Voltron Captain declare his love for their Princess, Romelle stopped and pointed up to the huge photo banner hanging from the center stage, "Don't they make the most beautiful couple Nanny?"

Nanny looked up to the enormous banner. It was a photo, taken on the night of the ceremony, The Princess and her Captain holding each other close for the cameras. She smiled and brushed away a tear, "They look so happy don't they?"

"I have NEVER seen Ally so happy" Romelle smiled.

From their mountain top camp, Evil King Lotor approached his Witch. "Well, your stinking Barbarians have failed Hagar, The Voltron force has escaped them, just as I predicted they would! You had better have come up with a way to get us off this rock!"

"Yes Sire, I have but it will take time! I need Time to set up the spell that will transport us both back to Doom" she cackled back.

Lotor was fuming and he replied sharply as he stormed off, "You have until tonight, I am sick of this place, I am sick of this snow, and I my arm is useless until I get back to Planet Doom!!!!"

Blue Lion was streaking through the sky when Sven spotted smoke on the horizon. He sent the Blue in full flight towards it, turning and twisting the control levers. The Blue beast ducking and weaving through the falling snow gracefully in response. Sven was enjoying himself, he hadn't flown Blue Lion in such a long time!

Keith heard footsteps crunching in the snow and he looked up to see Shania come running up to the fireplace where the Voltron force members were enjoying a quiet conversation. This was strange because she was deliberately avoiding Allura, she didn't think much of Keith's Princess at all and he could see the jealous looks she would give him from her hiding places about the village. "Father! Father............!"

Hennigor turned to face her, "What is it Child? What ever is the matter?"

"A Giant creature Father! In the sky! Look!.........Look!"

Lance's face lit up as he saw it! "It’s the Blue, it's the Blue!"

Hennigor and the other villagers were petrified but Allura calmed them, "Its okay Hennigor, these are friendly Lions and they will not harm you".

"Princess Allura! Lions do not fly like birds and they aren't the size of hills! The frightened Chieftain replied.

"Oh, these one's are, these are OUR Lions" She smiled.

Blue lion assumed a sphinx like position as it landed and Sven came running over to them,

"Princess, Lance, Hunk, Keith! Are you alright?"

"Just fine Sven, Just fine...." Keith answered.

"Nanny will be glad to hear you're all right, ESPECIALLY you Princess, she's been terribly worried".

Allura smiled, "Poor Nanny, she must be worried sick about me!"

Sensing her concern Keith stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "You'll be home soon Ally, just think you can let her give you a nice warm bath!"

Allura smiled and put her hand back against his cheek as she thought of the nice warm water, the lovely scented soaps and Nanny's gentle fingers massaging rose scented shampoo into her scalp. "Home". She whispered.

"YOU can have a shave!" she giggled, turning around and ruffing up the small beard her Prince had growing from his chin.

"Ally... look" he whispered pointing at the crowd of inquisitive children gathered in front of Blue Lion, nervously running their hands over its mighty body. A grin crept over his face and parting from Allura he walked over and knelt next to them in the snow. He pointed to various parts of the Lion talking softly as he explained something to them. What on earth is he up to now? The Princess wondered.

Suddenly the children all cheered, "Make it woar Mifta Keef oh Make it woar" They giggled.

Allura put a hand to her mouth hiding her smile, He's so good with the children, she thought to herself as she walked over to him.

"Eeeeew day kished!! A little boy looked up and remarked in utter disgust as Keith planted a kiss on Allura's cheek.

Allura blushed and leaned down to him, "And what’s so wrong with giving a girl a kiss little warrior?"

"Itsh Yuk and you get girl germsh " He responded.

"Oh what silly nonsense!" She giggled and planted a kiss on his cheek, sending him bright red.

"She's so pwetty", one of the little girls sighed as the young Princess stood back up and leaned her head on Keith's shoulder.

"Are we all ready"? Keith asked his crowd with a mischevious grin.

"Oh yes Mifta Keef, make it woar now!" they all cried.

He looked to Blue Lion and shouted, "Come on Blue, the children want to hear your roar!"

Inside the cockpit Sven looked up and chuckled, he hit a button and Blue's big, dull, yellow eyes suddenly flickered to life. It rose to its full magnificent height and raised its proud head to the sky as it let out a deafening roar. The children all squealed and covered their ears while Hennigor and the other adults were in fits of laughter at the reaction of their children.

"That's my girl!" Allura whispered proudly looking up at her Lion..

Sven picked up his COM link, "Sven to the Castle, Sven to Pidge, I have found them, Repeat I have found them!"

Nanny and Romelle were just finishing looking through wedding dress alternatives when Coran burst into the room. "Nanny, Romelle! Sven has found them, they're all safe! They're a little worse for wear but they are safe and I have dispatched a shuttle to pick them up." The three of them embraced each other and Romelle smiled with pride, "Way to go Sven!"

Later as Keith, Allura, Lance and Hunk prepared to board the shuttle, the tribe bid them fairwell. It was an emotional time for Shania and she cried as Keith hugged her goodbye. "Thank you Shania, for everything you did to help me, I will always remember you fondly!" Keith replied as he slowly pulled away from her.

She turned to Allura with the tears flowing down her pretty face, "You're SO lucky! I wish I was you! I wish I was you and I had him!"

The young Princess smiled and pulled her into a hug, "Oh Shania! Don't cry, your Prince will come! One day, he WILL come and NOTHING on this world will keep you from him, Don't you LET it!"

Shania was almost destraught as she pleaded with Allura, She had kept her reasons for disliking the Princess all bottled up inside her and now that her Snow Prince was leaving she worried for his safety, "Promise me you won't let send him out all wounded and alone with no furs again warrior Princess!"

The Princess couldn't BELIEVE what she had heard, finally she understood why Shania thought so little of her, "SHANIA! Did you think 'I' sent him out like that? Oh no wonder you're so angry with me! Shania I didn't send him away, believe me! You see he was chasing some nasty people who tried to attack our village! He beat them off but they wounded him! I was away when they attacked and the minute I returned I came looking for him! I thought my one true love in all this world was gone from me and I was so upset! I would NEVER send Prince Keith out wounded and I would never send him out alone! He is just such a brave warrior that he does these silly things and I will know now to keep an eye on him!"

"Promise me you will look after him!" Shania cried as Landara lead her over to Hennigor.

"I promise Shania, I won't let any harm come to him as long as I draw breath!" Allura replied.

Hennigor cradled his little girl in his arms and whispered soft things to her, He had always possessed the ability to calm her down, ever since she was a little baby. She rested her head on his shoulder and cuddled into him as he spoke his wisdom to her.

She looked up and waved as the Voltron members waved their last goodbyes. "Father I will always love him!"

"Well you may my child, but one day you will love somebody else even more and that somebody will be a lucky warrior!" Hennigor replied as Landara crouched beside them both.

It was around one o'clock that afternoon when the shuttle returned to the Castle of Lions. There was a small crowd of onlookers as it docked and looking out his window Keith saw see the familiar sights of Nanny, Coran and behind them Romelle, her blonde hair fluttering in the afternoon breeze. There was a shudder as the shuttle docked, and he thought to himself, Home sweet home!

"Ally....We're home now my love". He whispered as he gently woke his sleeping Princess. It had been a two and a half hour journey and Allura never was one for shuttle flights, they had always made her sleepy ever since she was a child she had told him shortly before she fell asleep with her head in his lap. She stirred and Keith stood up, stretching his legs with a groan.

Lance came over to him and asked, "What’s the first thing you're gonna do Cap?"

"Well A nice, long and very hot shower is starting to look pretty good right about now! What about you?"

"I am going to do the same, then I am going to have an Ale and relax". Lance grinned.

"Hunk? Lance asked his big friend.

"I'm gonna go hit Nanny up for a big feed of chips" Hunk answered with a smile.

Just then the shuttle pilot entered the area, "Ready to disembark?"

Keith and Allura were the first to step out into the warm Arus sunshine in their fur clothes. Keith held her hand and they walked slowly to their waiting friends. Nanny ran over and threw her arms around Allura, "Oh My baby! My Baby! I thought I had lost you, I thought you were gone!"

"Oh Nanny you do know how to make a girl feel missed" Allura smiled with a tear in her eye as Romelle and Coran embraced her.

Nanny looked at the Princess's attire and gasped, My.... and don't you look a sight, come on lets get you cleaned up".

Romelle threw her arm around Allura's shoulders and whispered into her ear, "I see you found Prince Charming, AGAIN!"

The Princess gave a relieved smile, "Yes, I found my love, I thought I had lost him cousin! I thought I had lost him forever".

Keith, Lance and Hunk all headed over to Sven, Pidge and Coran. "I think this calls for a celebration what do you say guys?" Pidge asked.

Coran looked at Pidge and nodded, "Welcome home Voltron force, Welcome back! I do welcome your celebrating but I must insist that I discuss the details concerning the attack on the village and the damage done to Black Lion with His Highness first!"

"Sure thing Coran, as soon as I have a shower I'll meet you in the briefing room". Keith replied.

The five of them left Coran and walked towards their quarters arm in arm, laughing about the adventure they had just had. As they arrived outside Keith's quarters he hurried inside, he hadn't been here since before the ceremony over a week ago. His neatly made bed greeted him and he picked up a pillow pulling it to his face. "Ahh real pillows again! Right, time for a shave and then a nice hot shower!"

Well you'll have to wait Keith, Ally and Nanny are in there!" Romelle grinned as she looked up from the table.

"Oh? Umm.......okay!" Keith grinned and knocked on the door.

"Yes, what is it?" Nanny's voice echoed out from the room.

"Its Keith, I need my shower gear I have a briefing to go to!"

Allura looked up to her Governess, "Nanny he can't see anything, the bubbles are covering me, and besides we showered together at the barbarian camp, it's nothing my Prince hasn't already seen!"

"PRINCESS! That is no reason for him to be in the same room as you now, I'll get his...................OH MY!" Nanny gasped and stood in front of Allura holding a towel outstretched to obscure her from Keith's view as he walked in.

He calmly collected his things and apologised to Nanny. "Sorry, I couldn't wait any longer, I am going to be late as it is!"

"Keith!" Allura called out.

He leaned over the towel and gently kissed her, "I'll see you later on Ally!"

The Princess ran her hands through his hair and just to upset Nanny some more she passionately planted her lips to his. "I love you Keith!" She called as he hurriedly left.

Nanny stood with a hand over her face, she was not amused! "Princess that was MOST inappropriate!" She scolded. Nanny was still very emotional regarding Allura and the two were heading towards a major showdown! Allura was becoming more and more independent and Nanny was becoming more and more overbearing.

Keith hurriedly grabbed his Dress uniform which was lying neatly pressed in his closet for him, Oh God bless you Nanny, he thought as he headed for the door.

"Keith, you have......umm........You have bubble bath in your hair!" Romelle told him as she put a hand to her mouth to hide her giggles.

"I......Oh! Thanks!" Keith grinned as he ran a hand through his hair and left the room.

Romelle also left, heading for her check up with the visiting lady Doctor from Naimere. She had been feeling a very unwell in the past few days and she hoped that the Doctor would shed some light on the subject for her.

Keith found Lance's door open and quickly walked in, "Lance, can I use your shower?"

"Sure, knock yourself out! Is yours broken or something?" Lance asked.

"Ahh no, occupied is a better term!"

"Keith, you were showering together at the village! What's so different about showering here?"

"Lance! Here there is a Nanny and.............I think you get the picture!" Keith replied as he headed into Lance's shower.

"Ahh yes, the Nanny equation!" Lance chuckled.

Later as Keith walked out all dressed in his uniform Lance asked him, "Well let's go Keith!"

"I didn't know YOU were coming?" Keith answered as he quickly straightened up his medals.

"Yeah, I was the ranking officer on the scene, Coran wants my account as to what happened with this damn portal." Lance answered.

The young Officers walked steadily down the hallway towards the briefing area.

 

Meanwhile a distressed Princess Romelle was sitting with the Doctor in the infirmary after her check up, "Doctor there must be some mistake, it can't be!"

"Romelle, aren't you happy? You know you don't HAVE to keep the baby if you don't want to, you can............."

"How dare you suggest such a horrible thing!" She snapped.

"I have to present my patients with ALL their options Princess, I may not agree either but it is an option". The female Doctor answered.

"Well it's NOT as far as I am concerned, what did my baby do wrong? It wasn't HER fault and I am NOT about to have her............killed because she is an inconvenience!" Romelle replied fiercely.

"Well then, congratulations!"

"Thank you Doctor". Romelle replied as she left the infirmary.

Romelle felt terrible, she had to tell Sven! He is going to hate me, I PROMISED him I wouldn't! She thought as she slowly walked up the stairs to their room. Sven was half finishing a sandwich when she found him. He noticed the expression on her face and put his sandwich down as he walked over to her, "Romy what is wrong? Did everything go well with the Doctor?"

Romelle shook her head, "Can we go for a walk?" She asked.

He nodded and they walked down through the castle and out into the gardens where they sat down on a patch of grass together. "Ven, do you REALLY think we are a good couple? I mean are we stable?"

Romelle what are you getting at here...........He wondered. "I am as much in love with you today as when we first met! I think you are the perfect girl for me! I think we are stable, yes!"

"Sven I love you so much, do you really want me......forever? I mean I'm moody, I'm rude to you, I never appreciate your making me laugh I............."

"Romelle, what is wrong........You ONLY do this when you are upset, have I done something wrong?" Sven asked.

"No Sven I have...................."

"Romelle??" Sven asked.

Romelle broke down in his arms and sobbed, "Sven I'm sorry I know you didn't want to yet and I know I promised I wouldn't! I'm sorry and I............."

Does she mean what I THINK she means! Sven's heart was racing as his mind rationalised Romelle's behaviour. "Romelle are you......?" Sven asked rubbing her stomach.

Romelle put her hand over his, "I'm sorry Ven, I think I forgot my last injection, with all that's been going on around here I didn't mean to!"

"Romy, its okay, don't be upset, I always wanted children, you knew that".

"Yes but you said you ONLY wanted them after we had been married not before! My first child is going to be born out of wedlock!" Romelle cried.

"No Romy, I'll finalise our marriage as soon as I can, I promise! Hey, look up....You have made me the happiest man on the Planet! Can I feel it yet?" Sven asked sliding his hand under her blouse.

Romelle was completely surprised by his reaction, he had clearly stated that he wanted children ONLY after they had been married for a couple of years! She had expected him to be furious and here he was, happy as a pig in a mud puddle. As she felt his cold hand on her bare stomach her tears began to dry up, "Ven I.......I thought you'd be angry with me!"

"Romy! Why would you think that? I am as much to blame as you are, we knew the consequences and now we have to deal with them! Where is it?" Sven asked with his hand above her belly button.

Romelle blushed and gave a giggle, "SHE is not up there, she's down here......You won't feel her yet because she's only six weeks old". She whispered as she moved Sven's hand just below the waistband of her mini skirt.

"How do you know that she's a girl?" Sven gasped.

"Because.........I know in my heart!" Romelle cooed as she planted a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"Sven would you promise not to tell until we are married?" She pleaded.

"Romy I want everybody to know! Why hide such wonderful news?"

"Sven can you imagine the reaction on Pollux if it were to get out that................Sven please.......please don't put me through that, I know you want to tell everybody but......"

"Romelle, Keith and Ally will keep the secret, we can trust them, at least let me tell ONE of my friends!" Sven replied rubbing her shoulder.

"Just Keith and Ally, NOONE else....Okay?"

"Alright Romy.....Come here......." Sven replied as he lay down on the grass next to her and pulled her to him.

She snuggled into him as he wrapped her in his arms before apologising once more, "I'm sorry I forced you into this....."

Sven grinned and kissed her cheek, "I wasn't forced, I knew the consequences, I'm HAPPY it turned out this way! At least we don't have to worry about you getting pregnant anymore.....!"

Romelle gave a giggle, "I love you Sven..........EVEN when you are making jokes about things that are VERY serious!"

After lying on the grass with her for a couple of hours, Sven looked at his watch, "I have to meet with Coran in five minutes Romy, did you want to come too?"

"No, I'll go and spend some time with Ally, you'll know where to find me when you're finished with Coran. If I am not around I will be asleep no doubt, I am really tired!" She replied.

"Remember I have the 'Guy's Only' celebration to go to at the Blazing Sword in Salern tonight, I think I will cancel and stay home with you though!" He replied.

"No Ven, go, I am to tired to do anything but sleep, you go along!" Romelle answered.

"Well only if you are sure?"

"I'm sure, go and have some fun!"

They kissed each other goodbye before heading off in different directions, Romelle to Keith and Allura's room and Sven to his meeting with Coran. Romelle felt a lot happier about her baby news! Sven didn't hate her for it, he was HAPPY about it! She danced up the steps to Keith and Allura's room but soon stopped as she realised that she may give her secret away! She entered the room and sat at the table, waiting for Allura who was STILL having her bath!
