Lauralye watched as she watched Thedas with the horses, saddling them up. When her own was ready, she walked over to it and placed her hand on the front of the saddle and lifted a leg for Thedas to help her. Sitting side saddle, she smiled down at him before she leaned over and kissed him, "Funny, I was going to say the same thing," She laughed a little before she placed her hand on her stomach, "It's a good thing we'll have a little one to follow or we might start running in circles," she teased.

Thedas shrugged, "more or less it depends plus you like seeing things for the first time. That's why I'll follow today," he got himself up into the saddle. Riding to her side, "it depends on where you want to go today."

Lauralye smiled at him and nodded her head as he told her that he would follow her today so that she could see knew things. She flicked her reins a little and started to walk with her horse. She was in a lavish dress despite it being loose around her midsection, hiding her small bump. With how much Lauralye and Robert had presented themselves to the people, and the crown on Lauralye's head, they would easily be recognized as the King and Queen which had problems of its own. There was crowding of people, it was harder for the two of them to just slip away, and there was also a sense of danger for the radicals who did not like the thought of a King and Queen. Those same people had killed her mother and had nearly taken her own life. She looked over at Thedas as the headed down the hill and smiled, no matter how much those people scared her, Thedas would keep her safe just like he always did and she trusted that. It didn't take long for them to slowly walk into the city.

Thedas followed right beside her. Just enjoying the time, he never really imagined his life would turn out like this. Though he loved how it turned out, he got to spend the rest of his life with the woman he loved. A kingdoms he helped rule, though he wasn't much for politics he still enjoyed it. Though the one that he loved the most he was going to be a father, in a few months.

A few months later, Lauralye help her enlarged stomach as she walked through the gardens. She was doing most of the paper work from her rooms now with her stomach being such a size that extended periods of walking or sitting began to hurt her back. However, she did take time to be outside and wandered the palace. As she grew bigger a midwife took to following her everywhere, along with a guard and doctor, just in case something happened. She was practically surrounded by people at all times now, her only sanctuary was at night when they all waited outside the door and left the King and Queen alone to sleep. However, it was good today that she had her entourage as she had been getting pains through her stomach all morning that the doctor and midwife said could either be contractions or Braxton Hicks contractions tricking them all into thinking she was going into labour. When one coursed through her causing her to grip to the midwife and buckle over with a yell of pain, for the second time in a short period, the doctor turned to the guard, "Grab the King. Tell him to meet us in the infirmary. The Queen is in labour." He took hold of the Queen's arm and wrapped his around his shoulder as the midwife did the same. The two quickly rushed her to the infirmary and prepared themselves to deliver the Royal baby.

Thedas was just rubbing his face, letting out sighs as he read one of the reports again. The bandits were getting brave again, of course he would have to send a few more patrols down that road later on today. That's when he heard the pounding of boots getting closer to the door. Getting to his feet, just as the door slammed opened he gave the guard a look of concern. "The Queens in labour," with that little sentence Thedas had taken off running down the hall toward the infirmary.

Lauralye was already well on her way when Thedas arrived. The doctor was positioned between her legs telling her when to push as the Midwife held her hand, helping her with her breathing. Lauralye looked to Thedas when she saw him and laughed despite the mass amount of pain she was in. She held out her hand for him to hold just before the doctor told her to push and she squeezed both Thedas's hand and the midwife's as she yelled, tearing running down her face. It was sometime later that the baby was actually born. Lauralye laid back in her bed and watched the little baby girl as they cleaned her up before handing her to Lauralye to hold to her bare chest. She started to cry again as she kissed the little head of her baby girl, her hand rubbing her little back as she tried to sooth her child's crying. Lauralye looked up at Thedas and laughed a little through her tears, "She's beautiful..."

Thedas let her hold his hand, in a death grip when she pushed. The pain he welcomed if it helped her get through this, he had dealt with pain before he had come here so it was nothing new to him. When he saw the little baby girl in her arms, a smile came to his lips. "Yes she is dear yes she is," he could tell some of their daughter would look like him, but otherwise for now he didn't know what.

Lauralye looked up at him for a moment before her eyes drifted back down to the baby. With great effort, she moved over slightly to make room beside her. She patted the spot lightly, inviting Robert to sit with her. She smiled up at him before she rested her hand and attention on the back of their baby's head, "What should we name her?" She asked softly, not wanting to wake the now sleeping baby, "Oh... We should invite your uncle to come and meet her."

Thedas smiled at the idea, "only if you want to princess." Thinking slightly before he gave a grin, "what about my mortal mother then Isabelle though I don't know what her middle name will be lauralye." He took a seat right beside her, a soft smile on his lips as he looked at his sleeping daughter.

Lauralye nodded when offered up the name Isabella, for his mother. She played with some of her little black hairs and nodded, "Isabella... Elaine... For my mother. Little Princess Isabella Elaine Calder Williams," She rested her head against Robert's arm, closing her eyes, "I like the sound of that," She said with a small yawn. She was beyond tried and still in a bit of pain she lay there with him. It didn't take long at all for sleep to whisk her away with Isabella's warm body sleeping along side her on her chest.

Thedas smiled some, he knew that Isabella was going to be a spitting image of her mother. With some of him in the mix, wrapping his arm around lauralye. A sigh escaped his lips, laying down himself he had a family now somewhere he belonged he had been looking for for years. With that thought he let sleep take him.

Lauralye jolted awake some hours later due to Isabella crying. She shushed the baby in a soothing way, trying to calm her tears. She looked at the sleeping Robert and smiled before she lowered Isabella to her breast and allowed the little one to feed. She sat up a little, doing her best not to disturb Robert as she watched her little baby. She ran her finger along the babies face and smiled. She never realized how complete a child could make you feel. She had thought Robert and her were as happy as could be together but with little Isabella, she happier than she had ever been before, just knowing that she was her's and Robert's forever. She rested her head against Robert and smiled.

Thedas stirred, though otherwise stayed asleep. A small snore left him, though he turned onto his side. With a place he belonged he was more than happy and more at peace than he had been before. He had a daughter he was glad how his life had turned out, even with all the things he had gone through.

Lauralye was in love with her family. She loved Robert and she adored little Isabella, even if the girl had only really been apart of their life for a short few hours. Something about having carried the child for the last nine months made her incredibly attached to her. She couldn't wait to raise her and watch her grow up. She couldn't wait to give her all the things that had been kept from her. Isabella would know her country and her people, she could allowed to find true love just as Lauralye had. She kissed the top of her little head when she removed herself from her mother's nipple. She hummed a little, "You are going to be the most beautiful and intelligent Princess..."
