Willow woke with the light from the morning as she rolled over onto her back and rubbed the side of her face. The palace was quiet and it was different to not hear the sounds of Rose rushing around playing. All the times she'd ever stayed in the palace before she recalled waking to the sound of her laughter out in the garden, and usually would go to the window to see Novakon up and playing with his little girl. But today he was still beside her, and there was no happy laughter to fill the hallow halls of a palace that had seen so much pain. She looked over at Novakon who slept and sighed softly, feeling powerless for the first time to do anything. She had her soldiers out combing the land with a fine tooth comb for Rose, and still nothing.

Novakon stirred at the feeling of her motion. Breathing in deeply he shifted his weight closer to her as he tried to force himself awake. It was rare for him to sleep so late into the morning. The only reason for those times wasn't what caused this. It was his sadness and lack of sleep over his daughter. But he had to be hopefull and willing to see the best out of this. But may life have mercy on those that took his baby from him because if he got his hands on that person or persons......His hands tensed and she could feel rage pulse through his body.
He shook with his anger before his eyes snapped open. Instantly he relaxed his grip and rolled away just lightly so not to harm her. Always a problem with his anger and lashing out. He could not risk dwelling on those thoughts in these moments or times. He breathed deep and slow several times before he looked back to her. He gave her only a warm smile before he leaned in and kissed her tenderly. Afterwards he got up and began to dress.

Willow glanced over at him when he rolled away from her. Though the morning was calm and the sunshine was warm, not all was well. Rose was still missing and Willow felt like she was going to be sick. She slid out of bed on her side and quickly darted for the washroom. She hadn't felt this ill since she was young and it wasn't a pleasant feeling at all. She pulled her golden hair back kneeling on the floor while her other hand lightly held her stomach. Her sudden need to get up had given her a head rush and she found the room wobbling slightly as she tried to get a hold of herself.

He turned his head when she had suddenly got up and rushed for the washroom. He tilted his head wondering why she had done such a thing. He finished pulling on his last boot and laced it when it came to him. He had seen this many times, on two different occasions. He stood and walked into the washroom and knelt beside her and caressed her gently. " Morning sickness my love. Would you like me to bring the doctor? " He smiled warmly at her as he rubbed her back softly with one hand.

Willow coughed as she tried to catch her breath, "No..." She said though this was worrisome. Kitiara had refused to see doctors and by the time Novakon had learned of her illness she was too sick for the doctors to help her. Members of his own staff in his home had not only poisoned his wife for years, but through her entire pregnancy with Rose. Then after her death poison began being slipped into Roses food but in hire doses. Paranoid, Novakon had gone to extreme lengths to prevent his family from being poisoned, though danger still lurked in his home, members of his staff could easily harm someone and no one would ever be the wiser.

" Are you sure my love? Or would you rather I play doctor since i've been through this before? " He smiled warmly at her as he continued rubbing her back. " I may not be very good but good enough to help ease everything. " He leaned in and kissed her neck. So much to do and take care of and now she was starting this. Should he take her to her parents so she could get the care she needed? He sighed softly as he waited for her answer and for her to settle. He new one of the best remedies for morning sickness and he would personally get it together.

Willow coughed a bit and used a towel to wipe her face, "No... no doctors... I understand what's happening to me. It's just... more intense then I thought it would be." She replied to him, feeling better that he was close and trying to help her. "I'd just... like something to settle my stomach... perhaps some ginger tea... and some toast." She said to him. She sat back feeling better for the moment but wanted to get to her feet and brush her teeth.

He chuckled lightly and nods. He helped her up so she was sitting at least. He then stood and gathered her things and placed them at the ready. " don't move too fast and take your time. IF you feel dizzy or weak sit down and let it pass. I'll be right back with what you want love. " He turned and leaned in kissing her forehead softly. He then hurried out of the washroom and then headed for the kitchen area. He had replaced all of his staff just about with new people and was working on mixing the new and old together with a rotating shift. This would make it more difficult for things to happen. Then the fact his son had decided to be the inspector of all things comeing and going into and out of the palace would make it that much better.
His son was becomeing a very good and sharp young man. It wouldn't be long before lessons would begin to get harder to prepare him for the role of king. He would be most happy to turn his crown over to such a good man as his son was becoming. Breathing deeply the scents of the kitchen he cleared his mind and began making the order for his beloved wife. Picking fresh and the best of each ingredient. He had added afew other things to the pre mix of the tea. Finally with a tray containing several slices of toast with alittle butter, some honey and jam to the side, as well as a steaming kettle of tea and a cup with it he made his way back to their room.

Willow managed to pull herself to her feet and make her way to the sink. She rested her hands on the counter as she lifted her head to gaze at herself in the large mirror that hung on the wall over the sink. Lifting her right hand she lightly touched the side of her face and rubbed her cheek. "I'm... going to be a mother..." She smiled a bit when she spoke to herself. Putting her hand down again she went for her tooth brush and started to clean the bad taste out of her mouth. and when she was done she turned a bit and moved her hands over her still thin stomach trying to imagine herself bursting from pregnancy.

He entered the room shortly after and he set the tray on the edge of the bed. " Willow? " He called out lightly as he made his way to the bathroom. He smiled seeing her posing in the mirror and laughed ever so softly. " I should warn you love....i get more excited when my wife is with child. The more you show the more i'll be enticed to...ravage your beautiful body my love. " He walked in and kissed her lightly as he put his arms around her.

She blushed brightly when he spoke to her from the doorway. She let him embrace her and kiss her which she returned, "I was... just trying to imagine me growing... you know? I don't even own the clothes for maternity... I will have to have several new dresses made for when I'm fat... I don't know how you'll ever find me attractive when my stomach sticks out real far and my feet get all swollen." she said looking up into his red eyes with her gold ones. "This is my first child... i want everything to be perfect."

He smiled as his hands moved along her back softly. He looked at her with a warmth in his eyes and smile that didn't come from heat. " Oh trust me love, Kitiara didn't see it either and often had to chase me off just to have some rest. " He kissed her softly and nods. " We shall go gather the clothes you need when the time comes love. And i'll do my best to make this as perfect as possible for you. "

Willow sighed softly when Novakon spoke about his previous wife. he spoke about her occasionally and he did she wondered if it was just him having a happy recollection or if he was just trying to keep her memory alive to himself. Either way she usually made her think she had to compare herself to Kitiara and if she had not been ill and died she and Novakon would not have fallen in love or been married. She didn't mean for it to bring her down but it did. She nodded slowly as she looked away before moving away from him to return to the bedroom to prepare herself by dressing and making herself presentable.

He rubbed her back lightly as he held her close. When she sighed he tilted his head lightly wondering what it meant. Usually a sigh was good, content or sad depending on very slight differences. This time it sounded...confused and sad. Was it something he had said or something she was worried about? When she moved away he watched her thinking about what happened. But with a light grin he followed and teased her the entire time she was trying to make herself presentable.
Eventually she would have to chase him off just to get dressed. After this he returned to her with a warm smile. " Love if i've said something that has you so down please let me know. I don't want to hurt you or cause you any form of sadness if i can avoid it. I'm not the smartest about these things so I do need alittle help. " He took her hands into his and pressed them to his lips for a kiss. His red eyes looked into her golden ones happily. He could not be more blessed to have her at his side and he was happy for her to be there. " I do love you so much Willow. "

Willow sat down on her vanity tables stool and sighed softly, once again it sounded rather sad. "You talk about your first wife often... I know that I can never take her place, fill her shoes... or how ever else you wish to look at it. I find that when you talk about her more, I feel like I had to compare myself to her. I feel like no matter what I do I will always only be... second rate. Even if you don't mean for it to sound like that, I still feel that way about it. I also know if she hadn't been poisoned and died I wouldn't be here right now, and I wouldn't be carrying this child, our child. She'd still be here with you... and you wouldn't be telling me you love me... those words would be for her. I'm just... the second wife..." She said putting a hand against her face t hide her sadness.
