When she stood, the folds of her billowing tunic exposed the gentle curve of her growing belly. Alan placed his arm around her to give extra support and kissed her on the forehead. “Dinnae be angry with anyone, my dear. It’s important that we think about the needs of our community. Now there is one more structure added to the settlement.”
She nodded. “I understand. It’s just difficult not seeing ye as often.”
Ragnar smiled. “Well, come spring you’ll have another little one to keep you company. I’ll admit that I’m looking forward to meeting my little niece or nephew.”
Her eyes twinkled when she looked up at him and rested her hand against her belly. “If it’s a boy I was going to name him Erik after our father.”
The Earl of their settlement nodded. “That’s a fine tribute to his memory.”
“As soon as I’m on the mend and spring has come, we can talk about what happens next.”
“What about yer dreams of travel?” Alan prodded. “There were so many things ye wanted to see and do.”
She took him by the hand and smiled. “That’s true, but it wouldn’t be the same without my husband. We can have our own adventures later. I cannae imagine anything better.”
He kissed her softy on the lips and pulled away with a smile. “Neither can I. We’ve seen enough war to last a lifetime, hopefully with the changes being made we can look forward to a time fer peace that will last fer generations to come.”
Alan placed his hand on top of hers as it cradled their unborn child.
“Aye, my love. That truly would be an adventure and it’s one I look forward to having.”
