Cress was pregnant. She and Thorne had been married one year, and now they were finally going to have a baby. The thought of Thorne being a father scared her a bit, but what really worried her was the thought of her being a mother.

Cress didn't have any memories of her mother. After all, she had only been four days old when they took her away from her parents for being a shell, and it wasn't like Sybil Mira was the motherly type.

She didn't have absolutely any idea how to be a mother.

What if I'm a horrible mother? she thought. What if the baby hates me?

Stop being silly, she told herself. You will be a good mother. Besides, Scarlet and Wolf's little girl liked it when you babysat her that one time. That thought cheered her up a bit. Besides, now she could plan a romantic dinner to tell Thorne about the baby.

Author's Note:Should the baby be a boy or a girl? Any ideas for names? Please review. Thank You!
