Peace at Last Side Stories: The Prince and the Queens-Book I-Ambrosia

The sun wafted through the window, shining on the two sleeping changelings. Stag yawned, then got up to go take a shower, briefly kissing the still-sleeping Double on her head.

This was it. This was the day Stag was going to Ambrosia to seal a pact between their kingdoms.

He wasn't nervous. He just knew it needed to be done.

He entered the entrance to her chambers.

The two lay cuddled up in Ambrosia's bed, basking in the afterglow.

"That. Was. Amazing."

Stag smiled. "You're not the first one to say that. So, think it worked?"

Ambrosia poked her stomach. "I don't know."

"Well, if it did, I hope it's a filly. What should we name her?"

Ambrosia considered. "Eggyolk."

Stag nuzzled the mare. "Perfect."

Double was waiting when Stag got home.

"How was it?"

"Good."

"Anything interesting?"

"She wasn't as good as you, and if it's a filly, the name's Eggyolk."

She kissed his cheek. "I got a surprise for you."

"Oh?"

Double held up a pregnancy test.

On it was something Stag didn't expect to see.

"I... we... you... pregnant?

Double nodded, grinning.

Stag fainted again. Double rolled her eyes, then carried him to bed and kissed his forehead.

"Goodnight, sweet prince."

With that, she walked out.
