Leanna was waiting by the window overlooking the court yard waiting for Zephyr to come back from his travels knowing it was absolutely essential that he went but everyday it seemed to drag on. 

2 MONTHS EARLIER

Leanna noticed Zephyr was packing alot of his clothes one day but it didnt help knowing he was gonna be gone for 3 moons, Zephyr looked over and saw Leanna watching him from the doorway with a somber expression "Darling, you know i have to go, Marcus will be here last thing he needs is being noticed by Asarious" He walked over to her and kissed her "I'm gonna miss you most of all" Leanna smiled softly still upset that he had to go.

It was a tour held every 10 years to check on the villages nearby as well as a council meeting on the first and last day. All the royals had to go even King Asarious. Leanna that night didn't sleep in her own room but next to Zephyr knowing she had until morning to be with him. When Leanna woke up Zephyr wasn't there only a note saying "good bye i love you and ill see you in a few  months Love Zephyr" after reading the note she threw it in a ball against the wall and cried under the covers

One of the maids came up with some hot homemade apple cider that Callandra had made knocking on her young master's bedroom door "milady may i come in?" the maid asked. Upon hearing no answer she crept inside to see Leanna fainted on the floor "Lady Callandra! LADY CALLANDRA!" the young maid yelled dropping the mug of apple cider in surprise before running to get Cassandra.

Callandra came up quickly after hearing the news from the maid to see Leanna still on the floor, she quickly rushed over to Leanna and went down on her knees next to her. Anna came up a few minutes later with her eyes sparkling with happiness and excitement "why are you so cheerful? Anna its nothing to be happy about" Callandra growled out clearly not liking her enthusiasm "i know why she fainted" Anna said smugly Callandra widened her eyes and looked at Anna "why?" "i saw her future when she collapsed, shes expecting" she giggled, Callandra slowly smiled wide "im gonna be a grandmother again?" Anna nodded while smiling 

Leanna woke up to a smiling face from Anna "how you feeling?" "a little sick and hungry what happened?" Leanna asked her "you fainted and try not to faint again when you hear this but your pregnant" she whistled innocently, Leanna gasped and put a hand on her now flat stomach "how many am i expecting?" she asked Anna "now that im gonna wait until you take the last ultrasound, Zephyr is gonna flip but in a good way" Anna left the room not allowing Leanna to see the expression of worry on her face. When Anna got to her room she quietly whispered to herself "something bad is gonna happen to you Leanna before you give birth to your daughter and son" With those words Anna crumpled on the floor silently sobbing 

Elli came by a day after hearing the news from Callandra who had sent a messager pigeon. Leanna, Anna and Callandra all sat in the tea room giggling about the baby room and such "am i interrupting anything?" she asked with a big smile on her face "Elli come in you werent" Callandra told her, Elli walked to the 4th white leather chair and sat down carrying a bundle "oh my, you gave birth whats your childs name?" Leanna asked staring at the bundle in Elli's arms "right before Zachary went on that silly little trip, made Zachary late, and i named him Ivan, Ivan Nicolo Deveraux" Little Ivan cooed which made all of them laugh but Leanna was secretly jealous knowing she had to wait 9 months for her child to be born into this world
