Chapter 3 - a surprising homecoming

After a little time sitting there, I and Anny jumped back on my horse, my cloak still serving as her only clothing. When we arrived to the camp, the high lord helped her off my horse and into the infirmary. She was treated for the small wounds she had and given a nurse’s gown, which while wasn’t as good as the robes of the dark coven she had, were much better than nothing. Most of her wounds were not physical, but emotional, though she seemed to have a lingering illness that would change her eating habits dramatically. She would still have nightmares of the death knight and what he did, and sometimes in our sleep she would throw me off her if I had my leg or my arm wrapped around her like I did many times before, thinking it was him grabbing her.

	After a few months, the stomach illness had not cleared up, so I convinced her to go see the nurses in the camp again. She did as I asked, though she wasn’t happy about it. The nurse did a thorough examination, and called me off to the side, which left Annwyn confused and scared. I told her we would be right back and not to worry.

	“I don’t know how it’s possible, but she is 3 months pregnant.” The confused nurse boggled.

	My jaw about dropped. “3 months?” it was about then she was raped by the death knight. “Are you sure nurse? I don’t want to make her panic.”

	The nurse shook her head. I knew the repercussions of telling Anny would be cataclysmic, but it had to be done. “Anny, Hun, can you come here please?” I asked her.  She got up off the bed and walked over sleepily. “Anny…the stomach pain…it’s because…” I stuttered.

	“Because why love? It’s not anything too severe is it?” she questioned.

	“You’re… your 3 months pregnant.”

	Her eyes grew wide and filled with tears; she reached for a nearby dagger, trying to plunge it thru her stomach to kill the unborn, not wanting the spawn of that death knight to live. I reached for her hand and stopped her. “Annwyn! The unborn child has done nothing wrong! It doesn’t deserve to die.”
	“I don’t want the spawn of that evil man to live!” she cried, her eyes flooding with tears now, as I wrested the dagger from her hand and sat her down.

	“Anny…please…we will raise our child together...Yes, our child, she may not have my looks, or even be of my species, but I will treat her as though she was my own beloved daughter. We will raise her together and she will never have to know who her father was.” I said to her softly, sealing the deal with a kiss.

	“But…where will we live honey cake? Icecrown is no place to raise a child, and your parents are both against our…relationship.” Anny said dejectedly.	
	“What about with your family? You said your mother always wanted a grandchild and was overjoyed when she found you found love, even with another woman. I’m sure your father will learn to accept me even though I am a draenei.”

	And that’s exactly what we did. I talked to the high lord and he granted us indefinite leave from the battle up north. With goodbyes to our friends in the camp, we got on the back of my horse, never to look back. Though I got many odd looks, we easily gained passage on a boat to Silvermoon, once I told them I was a member of the Argent crusade merely looking to grow its numbers. My white lie worked, and within a week we were at the house Annwyn grew up in. her mother, Anihi, was sitting on a bench just enjoying the weather when the pair of us walked up on my horse. She jumped up to her feet, overjoyed that her ‘little anny’ made it home safe. “And who may you be, my tall white beauty?” she asked me, knowing full well.

	“I’m Divinelite, but most just call me Divi, and I’m your daughter’s love, and if you’d allow it, I’d like to stay here with her and help her raise the child.”

	“Child? You mean my little Anny is pregnant!? How is that possible…you’re not one of those….mixxed genders, are you?” she asked shocked.

	“heavens no, Anny was….well…I suppose I should let her explain, she knows better than I do.”

	She looked at her mother, half disappointed in herself, “when I was in Northrend, I was almost killed by the scourge, twice. Divi saved me both times. The second time it was after a foul sin’dorei death knight used my body as his depository. Thanks to the light that guides Divi’s path, I kept the unborn child. It’s that light that guided me to her in the first place I’d like to believe.” She said, before leaning in to give me a kiss, not caring her mother stood right before us.

	“Well, miss Divi, I am very grateful for you saving the life of my child, twice, please, come join us inside, dinners almost ready.” She said, turning away, probably going in to set up two more spots at the table.

	After Anny leaned in for another kiss and a quick spank on my rear, she took my hand and led me in. her mother was just finishing plating her specialty, roast dragon hawk, her father was sitting at the table, smoking on a pipe with which I assume had crushed mana gem in it, he eyed me carefully. “so who’s idea was it to let this white skinned goat girl into my house. She belongs out back with the rest of the live stock.”

	His words stung, almost making me tear up. I turned and stormed out of the house and sat on the bench out by where we met her mother. I put my head in my hands and began to cry, I’d not wanted anny to see me so vulnerable, since I was always the one who was strong and held my emotions at bay. “Divi…babe are you out here? I’m sorry about how daddy acted…he is…very bold in his words…” she came and sat down next to me, putting her head on my shoulder like she always did.

	“what, come outside to eat with your goat of a lover?” I said sneering. “I would rather sleep outside then in a house with a man that hateful anyways.”

	“Divi…please come back inside…I’ll make sure he stays in line, or ill take away his mana crystal.” I heard Anihi say behind us. “he is just a little shocked, that his daughter is a lesbian, who was impregnated by a death knight, and that her lover is a draenei.”

	I stood back up, wiped my tears away, kissed and thanked Anny for being by my side, and walked back in with her hand and mine joined. We sat down for dinner and me, Anny and her mother talked about how we met, what we were going to name the baby, and so on, and her father just sat in the corner, eyeing me like he did when he first saw me, while reading the “Silvermoon daily” and dragging deep on his mana pipe. When I would look over at him, he would just sigh and shake his head, before looking back at his news. “Ignore him baby, he Is just apprehensive because your…because you’re a draenei.” Anny said to me.

	He seemed to be angered by this. “You know why I’m apprehensive Annwyn! Because this goat took you and made you a lesbian! You always said you would marry a tall handsome sin’dorei and be a great mother! I’d like to see you be a great mother now! That child your carrying is conceived illy and isn’t even hers! But she says you’re going to be great mothers! This slut doesn’t know the first thing about raising a child!”

	I stood up, anny and anihi tried to stop me, but they couldn’t. I walked over to him and slapped her squarely in the face, causing his mana pipe to fall to the ground. “Divi! Honey! Please stop... don’t do this!” Anny grabbed my arm and pulled me upstairs to her room, leaving her father to pick up his mana pipe and his dignity. He didn’t have the pleasure of drawing on his mana again; Anihi took the pipe from him and broke it, and then poured the mana powder down the drain.

	“Anny…I’m so sorry…my emotions got the best of me.” I said, thru sobs, “he is just so mean spirited…I don’t know if I can live in a place with such a hateful man.”

	I laid down on Anny’s bed, over run with emotion. I unclipped my chain top and threw it to the side, forgetting Anny was in the room….until she started kissing on me and my exposed chest. “you know, sug, just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean we have to stop everything…at least not right now.” She cooed as she licked around one of my nipples. I’d forgotten how good her moth felt, it’d been so long, Since before she found she was pregnant. She wasted no time moving downward, untieing my pants and throwing them aside, as her playful tongue began to please my body in so many ways.

	She slid out of her robes quickly, laying as naked as I did, next to me. After a short while of kissing and “I love you’s” we fell asleep,  my hand resting on her stomach where our child was, and my leg risen up over hers.

	We were woken the next morning by a gasp from her mother, who had come to tell us breakfast was done. She clearly wasn’t ready for the sight she saw. Regaining her composure, she walked over to anny and I, and tapped us on the shoulders, “wake up you two love birds. Don’t let him see you like this or he will throw a fit.”

	I moaned and rolled off to the side, yawning and stretching. Not wanting to burden myself with my heavy armor this early, I slid on what was to be my nightgown, a see thru mage weave night gown with just enough fabric to cover my private areas from general sight. After I quickly dressed, my hooves clopped across the wood floor as I went to rouse Anny, I kissed her on the lips and whispered something sweet into her ear. She rolled and stretched as I did, and I handed her a nightgown similar to mine, made out of frost weave. We kissed each other on the cheeks again and walked down the stairs, hand in hand, my lithe tail tickling her behind with each step we took. She made us both a traditional dish from our people…for me, red snapper, my favorite, and for her, mana thistle pancakes. She cut a piece of her pancake and before eating it herself, slid it into my mouth lovingly. It tasted wonderful, I think I had a new favorite dish. We sat there, enjoying one another’s company, eating our breakfast in our skimpy nightgowns. Our love could be seen easily. Much to the dismay of her father.
