'When you're pregnant, you can think of nothing but having your own body to yourself again, yet after having given birth you realize that the biggest part of you is now somehow external, subject to all sorts of dangers and disappearance, so you spend the rest of your life trying to figure out how to keep it close enough for comfort. That's the strange thing about being a mother: until you have a baby, you don't even realize how much you were missing one.'
I Am Pregnant (Part 3)
"I don't understand you son," Galore said after a while of thinking the things his son had said.
"Like I told your father, you won't understand."
"Okay, are you not going to school today?" Galore asked, changing the subject.
"I will be going, that's why I came back home to change my clothes and carry my Vala to school."
"Alright, see you soon son," Galore said and left Ruthless room.
Ruthless stood up from the bed and started preparing for school.

Vala's Apartment:
Vala woke up to an empty room and the fine fragrance of the flowers greeted her nose, she smiled to herself as she got down from her bed, Winter had already told her last night that he wouldn't be there when she wakes up the next morning but he is going to meet her before she leaves for school.
Quickly taking her bath, she prepared for school, putting on one of her gowns, she noticed how her stomach was slightly big but ignored it, last night she had eaten a lot, Pula had cooked so much food for them and she ate them all surprising Pula and her mate.
She came out of her room and heard noise from the kitchen and headed there. She saw Pula cooking, the smell of food made her near Pula and peek over her shoulder, she licked her lips, feeling hungry all of a sudden.
"Good morning Aunt Pula."
"Morning Pula, are you hungry?"
"Very hungry Aunt Pula,"
"Go and sit down, I will bring your food to you."
"Thank you," she thanked and went back to the sitting room and sat down, it wasn't long Pula came out of the kitchen with a plate of soup magically floating in front of her, Vala collected it and Immediately put it in her mouth, drinking all the soup with the hotness together, lowering the plate she saw Pula staring at her, "I am still hungry though."
Pula nodded her head, took the plate and returned with another full plate which Vala gulped down immediately.
"That will do Aunt Pula, thank you," Vala thanked and was startled when Pula placed her head on her stomach for a while before lifting up her head to stare at her, putting some space between them.
"What do you think about having a baby?"
"Baby? Well from the one I saw back at the Land of the Elves, they are cute little things to hold with care, why do you ask?"
"I think you are with two babies."
"You must be joking Aunt Pula, the full Moon ended the day before yesterday and I and Winter didn't get any intimate yesterday, so, I could I possibly be pregnant?" Vala asked and what Pula said fully registered in her mind, "Did you say two babies, like twins?"
"Yes, I wonder why you are not feeling their heartbeats yet. Anyway, when Ruthless mated with you the very first day during the full moon, the seed has been planted, so yes it is possible my dear, very possible."
"So you are trying to tell me that I have two living beings, twins, inside of me?"
"Yes, so you will be careful not to fall down or allow anyone to hit you on your stomach. You will soon become a mother, Vala, I am very happy."
"I wonder how Ruthless would feel once he finds out." Vala said as her hand slowly went to her stomach, somehow, she noticed it had increased a bit than the size it was when she was wearing her clothes.
"Find out what?" Ruthless voice startled them, he went to meet his mate, Carried her as if she weighed nothing and sat down placing her on his lap.
"That I am pregnant," Vala said, turning slightly to see Ruthless face.
"Oh, I know, we are going to have a baby," he said, grateful to his father for giving him a heads up.
"Two babies," Vala chips in with a smile.
"Two? Wow,"
"Yeah, wow. Are you not angry?"
"No, we are in this together Vala, so why would I be angry that you are carrying our children," Ruthless said, "I am blessed with a beautiful mate who will soon be bringing my children into this world and you asking me if I am angry?"
"I thought you would, you know, get angry or tell me to get rid of it."
"Stop having funny thoughts Vala, are you ready for school?" Ruthless asked, "Can't wait to show you off, beautiful."
"Yes I am ready handsome."
Without wasting more time, he teleports himself and Vala to school.

River of Abss:
Daniel's mother fought and slayed all the whole Sea beasts.
"Finally, at last, my son will soon regain his freedom," she said to herself and proceeded to remove five teeth from each of the twenty Sea Beasts.
She disappeared and reappeared at the bank of the River, outside.
"My dear friend, I think it is your turn now," she said and a portal appeared next to her and Queen Elfy came out of it, the loop, no longer in her neck.
"Where are the tooth's?"
Daniel Mother gave her the whole Sea Beast's teeth.
Taking it from her, she gave a lopsided smile which was returned and Elfy turned fully to face the River, clasping her hands together as she whispered some ancient spells. The tooth's all formed as a key.
"It's time, we've waited long enough," Daniel's mother said.
Stepping a foot on the River of Abss, the river divided into two.
Flashback (Chapter 1):
When Galore had left, and Lord Daniel was left alone he smiled to himself. His plan has worked.
