Victoria wondered what Henry would think if he ever found out how close to their family Ewan truly was. She was sure that would not go over well. Not that she ever planned for her husband to find out. If he did, it would only be because it was his time to pass on. Henry would never be able to tell other people that secret.<br/><br/>Gwendolyn smiled at Ewan and nodded her head.<br/><br/>"Thank you and yes, everything has been going very splendid."<br/><br/>Other then some morning sickness, that was quite common for any expecting mother, Gwendolyn was doing well. She loved being pregnant. To carry a life was amazing to her and her marriage was improving. Alexander seemed to be more affectionate to her once he realized she was with child. Alexander nodded his head with a smile.<br/><br/>"Very proud and thank you, your highness."<br/><br/>Alexander was like his father, he was excited about the idea about becoming a father. He wanted to be one like Henry. While he wasn't madly in love with Gwendolyn, knowing she was carrying his child, made him care for her even more.<br/><br/>Henry grinned at Charles, he raised up his own glass.<br/><br/>"Here, here."<br/><br/>He said, agreeing with the guests. Victoria raised her glass as well. Someday she hoped that one of her children or grandchildren would be the heir to a throne. It would take some time but she was a very patient woman. Henry and Alexander agreed with Ewan that wine was excellent.<br/><br/>Victoria was not offended that Ewan was spending more time talking to Charles and Henry. It was the proper thing to do, especially at a joyous occasion. While Victoria might run her household, in public, Henry appeared to be in charge.<br/><br/>"Yes, we have been very blessed so far this year. As for the burgers...They have not reached our land but we may need to contact the Royal Army soon if this keeps up."<br/><br/>Henry replied to the prince. The rain should provide a grand harvest. As for the burgers, that was a more troublesome problem. Henry was hopeful they would not arrive at his own doorstep. If they did, well, they may have to have an audience with the king and see if his army could handle the problem.<br/><br/>Victoria smiled to Ewan.<br/><br/>"It is quite all right, your highness. The younger children are well...."<br/><br/>She filled him on what her younger children were doing. Adam was becoming quite the jouster. If he had not been born of such high noble blood, he could have been a knight. Nicholas was becoming very skilled in horseback riding. Rebecca was doing well, she was very found of literature and picking up on foreign languages very easily. David was a little handful. He wanted to be just like his older brothers.<br/><br/>"...How is Master Carrick?"<br/><br/>She asked, not really caring, but she knew it was the proper thing to do. Ewan asked about her children, so in turn, she should ask about his motherless son.
