The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia laughed and shook her head, "Oh, I can," She gave him another kiss before sitting up. She climbed out of the bed and smiled at him, "If it is just morning sickness... Then I should be good to walk around. It should be fine even. She grinned at him and grabbed herself a cloak. She tied it around her neck and covered up her night gown. She held out her hand to him, "Come... I want to walk around the gardens together."

At the word 'walk' Melor's ears perked up. He ran out of his little bed that sat in the sun light and ran over to Anastasia, barking wildly. She thought of Melor playing with the little girl at the wedding, he would be good with their child. She opened the door to Millie's surprise, "Your highness, I was just coming to clear your plates," She looked around her at Samsul, "I thought we agreed that it was best for her to stay in bed."

Anastasia laughed, "The nurse just came in and cleared me... It'll just be a short walk then I'll be right back in bed... I just need to stretch my legs a little," She said trying her best not to give away the secret to the woman. Millie walked passed her and over to the bed, gathering their empty bowls, "Whatever you say, Anastasia."

End or no end

Elliot looked at him, "Good reasoning for having more than one person who knows how to shoot."

She took the gun when he handed it to her and allowed him to move her hands as need. She looked at her hands and tried to remember where they sat exactly. She stood when he did and let him stand behind her. She let him help raise the gun to her shoulder and listened to him as he explained to her how to aim and handle the gun. When he spoke about shooting, she nodded and laughed a little, "I suppose we should..."

She lowered the gun and turned to look at him, "So... do you want to feel special?"

Elliot's eyes opened and looked up at Jacob. She smiled when she saw he was awake. She rubbed an eye with her hand and looked up at him, "How long have you been awake?"

End or no end

[I]Elliot reached up and touched the necklace the police officer gave her when they informed her of the accident. She smirked, "I do talk about it.... with my sister," she poked him in the ribs, "I think you just want me to be vulnerable to you so that you feel special," she teased. She looked at the gun, "So... are you going to teach me to shoot?"

End or no end

Elliot relaxed slightly in his arms as his words reached her ears. It wasn't said loud enough to wake her, so she remained fast asleep. Her hand slightly squeezed his though as he took a hold of it.

Elliot watched him as he worked. Once he finished, she looked at him, "Why do you want me to talk to you with my barriers down? It isn't going to make what you are going through easier... Nothing will."

She wrapped her arms around herself, "Give me a reason and I might..."

End or no end

"I was sleeping on the couch... You woke me up when you came outside...." She followed him into the garage and sat down next to him when he asked for her to talk to her feelings with him. She shook her head, "I've only known you a few months... You said it yourself... I only open up like that to Savannah.... Why would I do that for you?"

Elliot's eyebrows knitted together as she whimpered slightly. She balled his shirt up in her hand as she lay there with him. It was evident that she was having a nightmare as she slept with him.

End or no end

Elliot woke with a start when she heard the door open. She looked over and saw Jacob walking out of the house. Slowly, she got up and walked over to the door. She opened it and closed it as quietly as possible, not wanting to wake anyone else in a similar fashion as she was. She walked outside and yawned as she looked at Jacob in the early morning light, "What are you doing?" she asked tiredly.

End or no end

Marcus gave Kyle a small wave before running into the house. He quickly found Savannah and wrapped his arms around her tightly, "Thank god you're okay."

Savannah looked up at her husband and smiled, kissing him, "I could say the same to you."

Elliot walked out and looked at them, "Gross, get a room," She teased. She saw Kyle and smiled, "Hi... Jacob is in the first bedroom. You should probably go see him. I was just about to tell Savannah that her and Marcus can take the second... Since I figured you two want to be together.... I'll take the couch."

She gave him a nod, "Go, all of you... It's getting late anyways..."

Savannah and Marcus left in search of the bedroom and Elliot walked over to the couch. She grabbed a decorative pillow and laid down on the couch with it. She lay there for a moment before she closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep.

End or no end

Elliot stood and helped him to his feet. She wrapped his arm around her shoulders and her own around his waist as she helped him to the bedroom. It must have been quite the sight to see, considering Elliot was just barely as tall as his shoulder and was quite a bit smaller than him in other aspects of size. When they got to the bedroom, she opened the door and got him onto the bed. She tucked him in and sat on the edge smiling at him, "You should get some sleep."

End or no end

Elliot shook her head, "What if you broke down like this while on the side of the truck?"

She sighed, "Let's not talk about this," She wrapped her arms around him tighter, her hand finding his hair and holding his head to her. After a moment, she smiled at him, "You must be tired... Let's get you to bed... I'll send Kyle your way when he gets here."

End or no end

Elliot shook her head as she followed, "I would have gone a long way. Lost them. Or slowed down, let you get back there safely. You could have died! And it would have been my fault. She saw him crumple to his knees and gasped a little. Seeing the picture she walked over to it and put it face down. She then walked to Jacob and wrapped her arms around him. She wasn't going to tell him it was going to be alright or that he'd feel better with time... She knew that was a lie. So instead, she just sat there and held him in her arms.
