Christmas
“Don’t worry love, I know what I’m doing� Gawen shouted from the kitchen to where his now very pregnant wife was waiting for him. “I�ll be right there!�

Elaine held her hart as her husband walked in with a platter of bread and cheese. She was now 8 months pregnant and often very hungry at night. To top everything off, Gawen was overly concerned. He hadn’t been around for the first pregnancy, so he didn’t know it was quite normal for Elaine to be tired a lot, or a bit sick. It was Christmas, and the servants had all been given permission to attend the midnight mass, leaving the King and Queen alone in the castle, only the royal guard was there. So, Gawen had to make Elaine her snack. Now let’s only hope it’s edible…

After her snack, the Queen retired to her bedchamber, quickly followed by Gawen who wouldn’t leave his wife unattended for a second. He went to sleep as well, it had been a long day and tomorrow, on Christmas day, he would have to do a lot of public appearances.
In the middle of the night, Elaine felt familiar back pains setting in. She didn’t want to wake Gawen up, he might get to upset to soon, so she sat on the side of the bed, waiting for the first contraction to wave by.

As the pain ceased, she felt her water braking and stood up to clean the mess it had made, thus waking up her husband. After a second not realising what was happening, Gawen rushed out of bed.
