Reyna's fairy tale

Part 28

"I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case" I replied with a little laugh " but I need your help. Even though I took your advise to heart about keeping him in line, I know that he won't listen to me about this" I explained "I need your help to convince him to stay quiet at least until tonight. If we both tell him maybe he'll agree"

"I don't know, but I guess it's worth a shot" Thankfully I smiled at her before using our mind link to call for Ryan.

'Ryan?' I called.

'Hey true love of mine. Don't tell me your brave King needs to come and rescue you once again?" he asked with a chuckle making me smile

'Not this time. But I need to talk to you. If you have a minute can you meet me in moms suite?" I asked

'It sounds serious. Is something wrong?' he asked worried

'No, no, no. Everything is fine. I just have to ask you something.' I quickly said soothingly

'I'm on my way' I heard before being cut off.

"He's on his way" I informed Zanne

"Go take the test. We'll sort him out." Queen Lilliana told Zanne reassuringly

We waited patiently for him to arrive and like I suspected it was much harder for him to say no to both of us.

"She deserves the chance to tell him herself" I tried to convince him

"But don't you think he would want to be there when she hears the good news?" he asked

"And if it's not good news? You know how sensitive werewolves can be in matters concerning their pups. " Queen Lilliana reasoned

He gave a sigh and went to sit on the chair closest to him "I still think he deserves to know."

"He does. But that is for Zanne to do not us." I said

"Why? It concerns him just as much as her. Why should she be the one to decide to keep it from him?" he said standing back up

"All I'm asking is to give her until tonight. If she's pregnant she would have told him by then." I begged

"Fine. But if she hasn't told him when the clock strikes 7 I'm doing it myself" he threatened before walking out the door.

As soon as he was out I thanked Queen Lilliana and made my way to the infirmary where Zanne would be. When I got there Zanne was sitting outside the door on a bench, tears streaming down her face. Oh no, I thought running to her to try to comfort her with a hug

When I sat down she lifted her head. Between her tears I could now see her brilliant smile. I didn't know how to interpret this.

"It's positive" she sobbed out in a laugh

"You mean...?" I asked hesitantly

"I'm pregnant!" She screeched grabbing me in a tight hug

Slowly a smile started on my face. She was pregnant! I was going to be an aunt! With a laugh I pulled away from her choking grip. "I'm so happy for you!" I laughed out

We stood there laughing and crying about the good news for about 5 minutes before we calmed down enough to speak

"What did Ryan say?" she asked nervously

"He'll give you until tonight at 7 to tell Xander." I replied, just happy that there would be good news to tell

"How am I going to tell him?" she voiced a new thought that came into her mind " I know he'll be happy but I also know that he would want to celebrate it. I need to do something special"
