In the days that Desmond was in the palace speaking to the Eirenguardians alongside the king, Gideon was finally able to hear the truth about Desmond and Leonor. He immediately took to the trail and went back to Montclair. He had a lot to prepare for their future child and wanted to focus on that.
How wonderful it was to see the woman that Desmond was so scared of at the beginning of their marriage finally bearing his child. The world felt right. Talks of another heir being chosen were very nearly forgotten.
Almost.
When others fell pregnant, Leonor often heard the word 'nesting' being thrown around. It was never something she looked into too seriously but, the further along in her pregnancy she got, the more she understood what they meant.
