Chapter 25: Performance Day!

The next day, it was time for Talia's first performance from an invitation at the elf village. She had just woken up. "Hmm. What time is it?" Jay was beside her. "Its 8:00 in the morning." "Oh is that so? Good I can rest more then. Today I have to go to the elf village to perform. Do you want to take the kids with you?" "Yeah. I told them I would. We made a day for them to hang out and it happened to be on performance day. Come with me Jay." "Hmm. OK if you want me too." "Yay. I love you hubby." "Haha I love you too." Then we kissed and I decided to get up and get dressed in stead of laying back down. "Oh crap. I just realized next week is Arion's birthday. He is going to be 19 years old." "Woah slow down. I've already talked to him. He said the only thing he wanted from you is to play a few songs and that's it." "Oh that I can do. What are you getting him then?" "Oh I have that covered. You will see at the party." "Meanie. Fine be that way." Then we both walked out for breakfast.

During breakfast I had a strange feeling in my body. I don't know if it was good or bad. Jay looked at me worriedly. "Hey are you ok Talia?" "I don't know. I'll be right back. I'll just use the ladies room for a minute." "OK I hope you're fine." "I think I will be." So I left for the restroom and started vomiting. "Oh no. I can't be. I'm already to old to be a mother again. If I am this better be my last kid." Once I was done and cleaned up I whispered something in Jay's ear and left for my room to wait for the doctor.

Not long the doctor came in. "Hello princess. So you think you are pregnant?" "Yes sir." Jay was with me at this time. "Lets check your pulse here real quick." He did just that and other tests. "Congratulations you are a month pregnant." "Sigh I thought so. Thank you doc." "You know what to take and do right?" "Yes sir." "Ok then I will check up on you when its time." "Thank you doctor. I guess we have to have a family meeting. Call everyone over including my parents and the king." "I will have someone do that." Then we headed to the family room.

We waited for everyone to show up. Then a few minutes later everyone was finally here. "Well everyone we are all here because I have some news. I am pregnant again. I thought I was done but it looks like this little one wanted to start now." "Congrats mom." Said Kida. "I hope it's a boy." Said Adrian. "Mom already has two boys I hope it's a girl." "OK you two. No fighting please. Are both of you ready to go for today?" "We are still going?" "Yeah why not? I'll be fine to travel this far and back but only this one time. But as long as you talk to me first about visiting your elf friends let me know ok?" "Yes mom we promise." "Ok then. That is all for the meeting."

My sister was already 6 months pregnant. "How are you feeling sis?" "Like a pregnant woman. Bloated and fat." "Haha yeah. Hey your little one is going to have a friend after all." "Yeah that's cool sis. I am older than you by a year so we are both old enough for it to be our last one. Too bad for me I will only have 2. As for you, you will have 4 kids." "Yeah too much. I just hope this little one is not 2 little ones this time. I don't think I can handle it." "Haha I know right? I'll take some off your hands if you do?" "Haha in your dreams. You can help though at least until I move to the elf castle. Oh look at the time. I have to get going. I'll see you In a few days." "OK have fun." So my family packed up and took our horses and headed towards the village.

We finally got where we needed to be for the concert and were an hour early so we can rest. We stayed in a friends house as a guest in their guest rooms. They had two guest rooms. My son and daughter had separate beds of course. We slept in the other room. "Thank you kind people." "Oh no problem. Your willing to do this even when you are pregnant. Thank you." "Sure no problem." I had an hour to rest. So I rested for a half hour and the other I practiced for my performance and figured out what songs I wanted to play.

Finally it was time for the concert. I got up on stage. I saw my son Arion his girlfriend. Then I saw my other two kids with their elf boyfriend and girlfriend. "Hello ladies and gentleman. Are you having fun at the party so far?" Everyone screamed. "That's good. Where is the birthday boy?" The man came out and said, "I'm here. I'm still a teenager for this last year I am turning 19 years old." "Wow 19. I remember the year I was 19 years old. Anyway when I am done I will ask the birthday boy if he has any requests. So without further ado here we go." Everyone sat down while I got my songs ready in the order I decided to play them.

After I was done I said, "OK now birthday boy any requests?" "Hmm. Let me think…The Emerald Realm (which I do not own its on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tI-NibonNo ) and Enchanters (I do not own either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLlovxa3VJ0 )" So I played them for him then I bowed and thanked everyone for listening. Then I said, "Ok I won't be able to travel for awhile because I have some news. I am going to have another baby! If you would like when I get far enough I will contact the director and you can come here if needed. I will let my brother know." Then I had to sit down. My pregnancy was starting to get to me now. I sat down next to Jay and he noticed how tired I was. "Lets get you back to rest. You look exhausted." I agreed. So we told the kids to have fun with their boyfriend and girlfriends as long as they don't stay out late. Then we left for me to rest.

"Hmm. Thanks Jay. I am so tired." "Get some rest I'll stay here with you." "Thanks. You're a good man. Hmm." Then she fell asleep almost instantly.

I had a long nap. Enough for dinner to be almost ready. "Woah I slept a long time. Why didn't you wake me?" "Your pregnant. You need as much sleep as you can. Remember when you were pregnant with the twins? You feel asleep while talking to the king. We were both embarrassed. Don't do it again. Get as much sleep as you can." "Sigh yes hubby." "Good. Now lets go out and eat dinner." So we walked out and sat at the dinner table where all my kids sat. "Hey mom. How are you feeling?" "Better now that I have slept a long time." "That's good."

We stayed for two days then headed home. It has been a week now. Almost time for the camp to start. "Kida and Adrian come here please." I said. "What is it mom?" said Kida. "Well its almost time for the camp to start right? Are your elf friends coming?" "Yes I talked to him and he said he was coming." "Mine too." said Adrian. "Ok well thank you for telling me. No lovey dovey while your there ok?" "Yeah mom we know." "Good ok you can go now." Then they left to do their own thing. After this baby is born I decided I want to move into the elf castle sooner. "Ok we can do that. Just don't forget to tell your forest friends and the flowers what's going on." "Yeah I will."

I finally returned home. I decided to rest for a bit in the garden. I laid down for a bit on the bench since I was tired. I closed my eyes for a bit or so that was the plan. I ended up falling asleep. She was sleeping while someone was looking for her.

"Talia. Talia? Talia where are you? Talia!" Then they finally found her asleep on the bench in the garden. "Sigh. No wonder she wasn't answering. She was sleeping." Lycan was looking for his sister. He rubbed her head just like he did when she was little. Then she finally woke up.

"Hmm. Huh? I must have fallen asleep. Oh Lycan what are you doing here?" "I was looking for you making sure you were ok. How are you feeling?" "Better now that I slept for an hour. Where is everyone else?" "They are doing there usual stuff I guess. Come on lets get you inside." "Wait I have to tell the news to the flowers. I guess I can tell them later. I will tell you all first." "Ok lets get inside first then you can tell us ok?" "Yeah." So Lycan helped his sister inside.

Once they got inside she had everyone gather including her kids. "Ok so I have news. Everyone knows I was planning on leaving to live with the elves right?" Everyone agreed. "Well now that I am pregnant, once the baby is at least 1 year or 2 I will be moving over. It's a little earlier than I wanted but I don't want to wait until this little one is old enough to miss his friends and family here. I just wanted everyone to know that. As for you Adrian and Kida. You two are old enough to decide where you want to live. You can live with grandpa or you can live with me in the castle. I just don't want to be a grandma this early ok?" "Haha we know mom. We are not that dumb." Said Adrian. "I know your not dumb. You two are my smart little babies." "We are not babies anymore mom." Said Kida. "I know your not but not matter how old you are you will still be a baby to me. I love you all so much." "We love you too mom." Said Adrian. Then they each gave me a hug. "OK meeting adjourned I'm going to go play violin in the garden. If anyone wants to join me they can." So I left to get my violin and headed out.

"Hello flowers and little buds." The little buds laughed since they were kid flowers. "Oh hello Princess. What brings you back here?" "Oh I wanted to play violin again then I have some news." "Ok sure." So I just picked random songs and started playing. The baby has been acting up lately since I am that far along now. Its just like it was with the twins. Once I started playing they calmed down. "Ha. This one is going to be just as easy to calm as the twins I hope." Once I was done the flowers clapped there leaves for their hands. I bowed. "Thank you thank you very much. I'll be here all week." I joked. "OK now for the news. OK flowers everywhere I will be moving to the elf castle sooner than I thought. Once the baby his 1 or 2 years old I will leaving. As I told the twins they had a choice of where to live. You may not be able to speak with them but as you know they like visiting. Also father can translate too. He can talk to you so you won't be alone. He can play his harmonica for you. Also the queen can play her violin as well." They agreed. I also liked the way the violin sounded when I was little when the queen played it so when I saw it and was forced to choose I chose the violin. "Well since I am done here I better head inside and get some rest. I will see you all later." So I went back to the castle.

Just in time for lunch. Jay found me and escorted me to the dining room to eat. "Will you be able to keep anything down?" asked Jay worriedly. "Don't worry I'll be fine. At least if I can't there will still be food inside of me." He rubbed my back and it felt good. "Thanks that feels good." So we sat down and started eating. I ate slowly just in case I started feeling nauseous.

 "Jay the baby calms down just like the twins did when I was still pregnant with them. I found out in the garden today. He calms down when I play violin. Maybe he will be easy to calm just like the twins did." "Haha is that so? That's good then. How do you know its going to be a boy it can be a girl." "I don't it will be a surprise. Since there is no way of checking."
