On the way to the base Britt had fallen asleep leaning back on Atem's chest. Hathor who was flying above to make sure they didn't get any surprise attacks was looking around on her dragon. She was watching the group but she more looked down at Yugi who was following behind his brother.

I wonder what Yugi is thinking right now. Hathor thought

Yugi who was still a bit confused had his horse come up by Atem's horse "So what all happened with her?" Yugi asked Atem. Atem was quiet for a while because he hadn't told Yugi the activities him and Britt had been doing when they were alone. "Brother?" Yugi said seeing Atem was hiding something, which made Atem sigh. "She is carrying my child." Atem admitted. Yugi was shocked to hear this, as he didn't know his brother had been doing such activities with the leader. Yugi wondered something and looked up at the dragon seeing Hathor looking down and watching.

No there's no way she could have possibly known. Yugi thought

When they arrived at the base, Atem had to adjust Britt so he could get off the horse with her. He looked at the others as he gave Britt to Yugi to hold for a minute before he went to untie her horse from his, but right then Heb ran up to Britt and nuzzled her cheek. Britt opened her eyes as she looked over at the horse and pet it's nose. She knew the horse was concerned about her well being which is why it was right there by her.

A true bond with a princess and her horse. Atem thought

When Heb and the others were put in the Horse stalls, Atem picked up Britt once again and took her inside to her chamber room. He layed her down then layed on the other side keeping her close to him as many things came to his mind at this point.

How will father think if he finds out my betrothed Princess is already carrying my child…before the child is born…we'll have to marry before she starts to show. Atem thought

My grandfather and parents are going to freak out! I can't even tell them…of the things I've done. When they find out of my child…I might get disowned… Britt thought, just the thoughts made her scared and worried.

The feeling of a kiss on her cheek broke her thoughts; Britt turned and looked at Atem. She knew they were in a big problem. He took her hand and gave it a little squeeze.

"It's time we move forward from this base. We must go either to your grandfather's palace or my father's palace." He said to her.

Britt knew that was true but she didn't want to leave her cousin's behind or her sister's. The fate they all faced could be much worse than hers and she figured each of them had in some way found someone to be in love with.

Hathor had seemed to be considering a court ship with Atem's brother…one I would much approve of since it would keep her close.Britt thought

~Within the next two weeks~

They had switched into the Egyptian palace where Atem's father was king. Britt insisted to keep her family with her and not send them back to her grandfather, as future Queen that request was honored. Britt was being fitted for her wedding dress but half way through she got sick which made the tailors concerned. Britt looked at them and tried her best to smile "It's nothing, I didn't eat very well this morning." She told them, she knew that she would have to talk with Atem about this getting sick. She needed help or else they would be found out.

Hathor was walking along the palace looking around for she didn't know what to expect with the new surroundings. She had always been in her grandfather's palace but this wasn't that place, it was the Pharaoh of Egypt's palace and her cousin's future home to permently stay in.

If some day Yugi and I would get to be like them...would this become my permanent home? Hathor thought

Once Britt had finished getting fit she ran off to see Atem. She stopped by the entrance of a door when she was looking in seeing Atem was speaking with his father.

Would Atem tell his father of our child? Britt thought

Inside the room, Atem was standing with his father. "Father there is something important I need to discuss with you…it is about Princess Britt and I." He said

His father looked at his son with concern "Has something happened that it is such importance to not wait till after your wedding with her. Once you both are married she will need to provide you an heir when you are Pharaoh." He said

"It is about the Heir…and why I want to marry her as soon as possible." Atem said, but he could sense that Britt was close and when he looked back he saw her watching. "Britt come here." He said

Britt was shocked but she walked over to Atem, as she stood by him he then placed an arm around her to hold her close. He knew the truth of his future Bride's condition. "As some people may have told you father, my Princess here has been getting sick at times." Atem said

Britt realized right then he was going to tell his father the truth of their child with her condition of how she was getting sick she couldn't really argue with him. "There have been rumors going around that they don't think she will live long if she keeps getting sick." His father said.

"Father, she is carrying my child. That is the reason she is getting sick and why I ask you to make the arrangements for our wedding be as fast as possible." Atem said, he wasn't about to let Britt go now that he had his heir coming.

His father was shocked and Britt buried her head in Atem's shirt as she was afraid what his father would say right then. His father seemed to be thinking and he could clearly see that Princess Britt was afraid of people finding out.

"Well, I see how serious this has become." The Pharaoh said to the two. Atem moved Britt to where she couldn't hide her face from his father and she pouted some. Atem smiled thinking her pouting was adorable but he knew she didn't like the people who could try to pull them apart to know of their rule breaking.

The Pharaoh took Britt's hand and he smiled at her "Please don't fear Princess. You were under your own house of rules with being the Rebel leader you can relax now for the safety of you and my grandchild." Aknamkanon said to her. Britt smiled a little but she blushed some for she hadn't even told her parents.

"I have called a meeting with your parents Princess, I have invited you and my son to join the meeting." Atem's father said, Britt was quiet for she wasn't sure what she should do but Atem held her close to him. "You should tell them, they should know of their grandchild coming and our child." Atem said to her. Britt sighed knowing he was right but she didn't want to be found out for the things she'd done while being rebel leader.

What if they're not approving that I'm pregnant. I mean they would expect that I'd marry the father of my child but still.. Britt thought

Atem could almost tell that she was in distress some as he held her closer. This made her look at him while she smiled some. "We should tell them." She said with a smile knowing it was best to be honest with her family. Besides she knew her family would be happy of a child coming and they were planning to marry before the child was born.

I hope the child is a boy. Atem and Britt thought but Britt wanted a girl too...she just didn't know the life they would have together.

It was later the next day when her parents arrived, they'd been aware of their daughters plan to marry the prince her grandfather had chosen but they were about to be getting a surprise. It was when they arrived Britt was first to welcome them as she ran over to them and hugged them. "Mama, Papa." She said as she hugged them, being in their warm arms made her cry because being the rebel leader had been a lonely life before Atem came into her life.

"Shh, do not cry My Princess." Her father said as he wiped her eyes.

Britt tried to laugh but she felt the sick feeling hitting her and she looked away in embarrassment. Her mother made her look at them though "Britt, what's wrong?" She asked and Britt was quiet because she didn't have the words to say the truth yet to her parents.

A little later they were all at the dining hall when everyone took a seat, food was all placed in front of them. Britt smiled for she did feel hungry but she looked over at Atem knowing she didn't want to keep the secret from her parents much longer. Atem knew how important her parents were to her as he took her hand and gave it a little squeeze. "Tell them soon." He said. Britt nod as she relaxed some and knew she would tell her parents before they went to bed tonight though she was concerned what her father would say to Atem.

The adults were in more of a conversation then talking to Atem or Britt. Britt looked at Atem with a slight smile because it almost felt like they were alone but soon that alone feeling left as her father spoke. "So what news do we expect to hear from you?" He asked her. Britt looked at her father and she was about to say something when she stayed quiet. Aknamkanon knew the news of the child was something important.

"There is news already...only I feel you'll be ashamed of me." Britt said.

Her parents looked at her but they looked at Atem as well. As much as they could see she was hesitating to tell them they could almost think something happened right away. Atem looked at her "Tell them." He said, as he held her hand to comfort her.

Britt looked at him but she didn't know what else to say until she finally got up the guts to say something. "Well as you know, I was the Rebel Leader… and now that the war is over I'm back being your Princess of the Nile waters." Britt said. Hathor was outside the dining room listening in and wondered if Britt was really going to tell her parents about her baby. "Yes, Britt we do know that." Angela said. Britt nod "But I wasn't following Royal rules or codes while in there. I went by my own rules." She said and she looked over at Atem for a second before looking at her parents again. "Atem and I both liked the freedom that we may have taken it a bit too far." She said.

Her parents looked at her when she was about to finish but she stopped and kept quiet. She looked down knowing that she was about to probably be yelled at, but Atem squeezed her hand some to give her the courage to tell them. "Britt, what is it you need to tell us?" Her father asked, Britt didn't look at him "I'm pregnant with my lovers child. We're trying to rush the wedding before I start showing." Britt said

Her parents were shocked, and her father had that feeling his daughter was not the good girl he had believed her to be. He knew she had her freedom to make choices and some of those choices were not the best choices but he seen she was doing the right thing and marrying the prince who was the father of the child.

"Well we don't approve of you being pregnant out of marriage but since you're going to be marrying the prince…we're ok with that." Her mother said.
