Ameria was given the duty of doing Roshia's hair, which she didn't mind. She had to talk with her anyway and she assumed she could have some private time with her. She walked into Elwin's home to see Atlas and Elwin himself standing there. If she hadn't received that warning from the Seerer she would have been happy to see them both look so happy. Now, she didn't know how Atlas would hurt Elwin, the Seerer never gave her details, but hurt was hurt no matter what. She nodded her head to both of them "You two boys look handsome." She smiled.
"Thank you, what are you here for? Shouldn't you be with the others at the lake?" Elwin said.
"I got hair duty. So if you could point me in the direction of this gorgeous bride, I will be out of you two's hair." She said, putting down the piece of fabric she was playing with.
"The guest room down the hall." He pointed.
Thank you, dear." She glided pass them, glarin at Atas for a moment before entering the hallway and moments later disappearing into the room.
Roshia was standing in front of the mirror staring at herself when Ameria walked in. She looked up at her and smiled. "Hello."
"Hello, love. My, you are gorgeous. You are better suited for the dress than I ever was. Now sit, I am going to do your hair." Ameria wanted to cry, she wasn't ready to give one of her siblings away. Roshia obeyed and sat down. Ameria got started right away with her hair. "I also needed to talk to you." Her voice was a bit low so that no one outside of the room could hear.
Roshia looked up in the mirror, "Okay."
"I know about you and the baby." She said softly. Roshia's body stiffened. "Don't worry, I was told my a seer. Your secret is safe with me. I also know that you don't know whose baby it is for." Roshia looked down, ashamed. "Don't look so shamed, it happens to the best of us, well I mean the whole sleeping with Nasir bit, I didn't end up pregnant." Roshia's eyes got wide. "Are you really that surprised? Anyway, what you are doing... is smart. You got the mayor's son to marry you. Does he know that you are pregnant for someone else's child, especially that someone is your own brother?"
Roshia looked up at Ameria in the mirror, she was tired and she felt like she was being taunted, "I might as well tell you the whole damn story. Yes I slept with Nasir. That night Elwin caught us together. Elwin and I got in an argument that lead me to go to the tavern by the lake. I met Rowan there, but it was just for small chit chat. A few days later Rowan and I slept together. I don't know if this baby is for Rowan or Nasir. I told Rowan EVERYTHING, including the stuff with Nasir. Rowan was the one to propose marriage, not me. So you can take this taunting shit elsewhere. I am tired and sick. I can barely keep anything down and I have to look like I am not pregnant because we are waiting to tell them that we are expecting three or so weeks after the pregnancy. Mother knows that I am, but she thinks it is for Rowan."
Ameria finished the last bit of her hair and placed the baby breaths pins in. "I am sorry I have upset you. I didn't mean for that to happen. Nasir... wasn't always like this... when we were younger, around fourteen or fifteen he went out into the woods for some materials and came back hours later. He hadn't spoke to anyone, not even me. It wasn't too long after that that Nasir and I got intimate, for of forcefully, but I thought that if I did I could get to the meaning of why the sudden change. I never got a direct answer, but something dark is inside of Nasir... I just hope he doesn't let it consume him." She took a deep breath, stepping in front of her, "What I am trying to say is, did he force you to be intimate with him? Because if so I have to act fast. The whole reason why I was away is so that I could look for whoever did this to him and if I can get rid of whatever is inside him."
Roshia was utterly confused, What the hell? What is wrong with Nasir? Will our baby... She held her hand against her stomach. She looked at Ameria, "No, no he didn't. It was a mutual thing." She whispered.
Ameria smiled, placing her hand over Roshia's. "I am glad to hear. Your baby will be fine, it has a strong mother. Now let's get going. Someone has to get married." Ameria helped her sister up and walked out to the boys. "Come one, Roshia. You have to show the boys what true beauty is all about." Roshia slowly walked our her dress on and her hair done. Her eyes looked down at the floor as she blushed.
