The last time Dara and your Archonus were together would have been before he was given his first solo mission as a Talon Justice (which was to hunt down and capture Jaine, and return her to Caer Albion to stand trial for her rebellious ways).Xath said:
It took him at least 6 weeks just to find what aliases she was using, and what part of the vast Falcon Kingdom she was hiding in. It would have been another week before he got close enough to actually make a capture. And then, when he finally did find her, he decided not to capture her after all. That's 7 weeks (at least) from when he last saw Dara (and remember that they probably didn't break up while participating in an act that could produce a child) before he joined the group that has become the Circle of the Phoenix.
From that 7 weeks, it was another three/three and a half before the confrontation in Oceanus, bringing it to a 10 week gap. That's 2.5 months difference, on the conservative end - and she was merrily hopping across the roofs of Oceanus during a draconid invasion at about the time that she would have just begun really feeling (and showing) her pregnancy.
Much more likely, she became pregnant sometime around the invasion of Oceanus (based on her current appearance). Based on what AA knows (she returned to the North after his rejection of her, and the rejection of the Tower of the Red) it would had to have either been 1) some random guy that she doinked on the way back north 2) someone *in* the north or 3) something else a great deal less obvious (and accordingly less plausible).
She might give birth to a child at 7.5 months that MIGHT live. But she wouldn't look as pregnant as she does (which is, of course, nothing compared to how pregnant Jaine looks. But then, she's got 2).
