“Hello sweet sister.”

Anna looked up quickly. Pierre stood in the doorway, a smile lighting his face.

“Hello Pierre! Or should I call you Munisette?”

Pierre laughed as he stepped in. “Count Munisette would be fine or maybe Lord Munisette if you prefer?”

Anna laughed as she tried to rise from her chair.

“Sit Anna. You are eight months gone.”

Anna sighed and rubbed her belly.

“The babe kicks a lot. He’s just like his father.”

Pierre smiled. He watched Anna rub her belly absently.

“Anna?”

She looked up. “Yes?”

“Have you…”

“Have I what?”

Pierre cleared his throat.

“What names have you picked out?”

Anna smiled. “Well I was thinking of naming him Jean after Henri’s father. But Henri vetoed that idea. Then I thought about naming him after father or maybe grandfather.”

“Reynaud?”

“Yes I don’t think the heir to the Mondian throne should have a Canillian name, do you?”

Pierre grinned. “No.”

“Then of course I could name him after Henri.”

“Of course.”

Anna smiled as she leaned back.

“What if it’s a girl?”

Anna’s head snapped up. “What?”

“What if you have a girl?”

“I’m not having a girl,” Anna growled.

“Anna there’s a high chance the baby could be a girl.”

“We went to the hydromancer,” Anna said shortly. “He assured us the baby would be a boy.”

Pierre raised an eyebrow.

“Well he said that the baby would be great.”

Pierre watched her closely.

“It doesn’t matter because the baby is a boy,” Anna said softly. “I just know it.”

Pierre leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

As he turned to leave, she caught his arm. He turned back.

“It will be a boy, won’t it?”

“Anna,” He started.

“I just need you to say it.”

Pierre looked at his sister. She looked like she had as a child: unsure and hesitant. She hadn’t been like that in years.

“I’m sure it’ll be a boy.”

Anna smiled and placed a kiss in his palm.

“Thank you.”

Pierre smiled and walked away. He looked back at her one more time before closing the door behind him.

Poor Anna, trying to reassure herself that of course it's a boy, but she's still scared underneath. I can't blame her, either; Henri is putting a lot of pressure on her.

So much depending on having a boy. Poor Anna, of course she's afraid.
