456 BAD OMENS (1/2)

It was late at night when they had finished their dinner inside Senja's room.

Doctor Lin needed to go to Q city after dinner, Senja was trying to hold her back because night trip didn't save, however she insisted that she would bring five people with her and it would be fine.

Beside, she was supposed to left with Xiao Tianyao entourage to the Q city, however because of Senja's condition Xiao Tianyao was very adamant to leave her and check on Senja first. She didn't allow to leave before Senja woke up.

And now, Senja had woken up and there wasn't major problem with her, she just needed to have enough rest. Doctor Lin also had prescribed her medicine, so nothing she could do here anymore. That was why she needed to go.

Senja bit her inner cheeks when she heard Doctor Lin's reason to stay behind. Xiao Tianyao sometime could be overbearing. She felt slightly uncomfortable also to make her stay.

So, in the end Doctor Lin left the fortress with five people who were guarding her. Senja couldn't see her off because she wasn't allowed to leave her bed, moreover she didn't want to have anyone to see her off.

Thus, after dinner Qianru and Xiao Mugi stayed in Senja's room.

They were talking with each other and teasing Xiao Mugi, sometime he would laugh out loud or he would throw thantrum at Senja because she always called him 'boy'.

But, now he was sleeping on Senja's bed, tired.

Senja readjusted his position, extended her blanket and covered him. She let the boy slept on her bed, while she was walking toward the yard with Qianru.

After eight days lying on the bed, it was nice to stretched out and take a walk outside while enjoying the night breeze. It was so refreshing.

”There is news from Q city?” Senja asked, took a seat in one of the bench while Qianru sat beside her.

”So far they are doing fine, if everything run smoothly, they will take down Q city in two months before move to L City.”

Senja nodded. The war it started.

Qianru filled her everything that she knew when she was out this past eight days. They were talking about the war, Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun childhood and much more, until they stumbled into one topic that piqued her interest.

”What had happened to you after your engagement?” Senja asked.

They were talking about the engagement between Xiao Jun and her and the Emperor who was looking trouble for them at the engagement day, when Senja remembered Qianru wanted to talk about something after their engagement, when they were still in the Greenhill Mountain.

Qianru was slightly taken aback by Senja question as she felt Qianru's uneasiness, her eyes downcast and she turned depressed

”Qianru, if you don't want me to know, it is fine…” Senja grabbed her hand gently.

Qianru gave her a smile that didn't reach her eyes before she said gently, ”That night, when I talked with you in the Greenhill Mountain, I was just slightly emotional. You were looking so down at that time.” She said. ”But, now you are fine, I don't think you need to hear this.”

Senja felt the reluctance in her voice. Well, people tended to change their mind, so Senja just shrugged it off and smiled back at her.

”But, I want to tell you that both of them had gone through a lot in their life, I hope you can cherished Xiao Tianyao, even though sometimes his overbearing attitude is annoying.” Qianru chuckled with this.

”You didn't have any idea how annoying he was. I feel like I want to knock some sense on his rock head.” Senja grumbled, being said that she laughed in the end.

”Both of you are stubborn if I can pointed out.”

Senja gave some thought about it, but then she admitted. ”I guess so…”

Both of them fell into comfortable silence for a while before Senja voice out her thought. ”I hope this war will not last for long time…”

”Yes, I hope the same,” Qianru nodded and added with a tingle blushed on her cheeks. ”I hope Xiao Jun is with me during my delivery…”

Senja turned her head at Qianru with surprised, ”Delivery?” She reiterated. ”Are you…?” Senja trailed off her words.

However before she could finish it, Qianru had nodded her head, knowing what Senja wanted to say.

”Yes, I am pregnant.” There was a wave of happiness in her voice.

”Actually, that was not I want to say…” Senja shrugged her shoulder nonchalanty and Qianru swatted her back playfully that made her burst into laughter. ”How long?”

”Three weeks.” She said with soft smiled.

”Did Xiao Jun know about this?” Senja felt excited for her.

However, Qianru shook her head. ”I just knew recently when Doctor Lin check on me, but at that time Xiao Jun had left to Q city.”

”You should tell him, I am very sure, he will end the war faster so he could be with you.”

Qianru laughed at this, but didn't answer her question.

”What happened?” Senja picked out her anxiety easily.

”Nothing… I just…”

”Yes…?” Senja prodded.

”I had a miscariege before and I am afraid what if …”

”No what if's… this is a good news why are you holding back a good news from him? You had been waiting for this child for so long right?” Senja cheered her up.

”Yes, I know he have to know… I just want to wait until I get into two months before I tell him.”

”Alright… ” Senja smiled. ”Anyway congratulation!”

”Thank you…” Qianru smiled softly while rubbing her stomach gently.

**She will be a great mother…**

.....

Two months passed by and everything in Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun's end seemed ran smoothly. They had taken down Q city and their armies had moved to L City.

Senja cursed the limited communication in this world endlessly, the only way they communicated with each other was through a messanger that brought their letter and it could take a week before she could read Xiao Tianyao's reply.

Sometime longer than that, not to mention now they were moving to L city it would take longer.

”Damn it! I will be the inventor of cell phone here before Dr. Martin Cooper did and become rich!!!” Senja grumbled after she read Xiao Tianyao's very very very short letter.
