The doctor had been with her for thirty minutes and she still wasn’t out. Was she that serious? The doctor finally came out smiling and he wondered what that smile meant.
“Doctor is she okay?” he asked.
“The duchess is fine. She is just exhausted. She wasn’t getting much sleep lately, I guess. She is sleeping so be at ease now,” he said.
“That’s good news then. When will I be able to see her?”
“You can go and see her now but I need to tell you some other news too.”
“What is it?” his mother asked.
“It’s good news, my queen. The duchess is pregnant and the fetus is stable. She mustn’t be stressed from now on or else we won’t be lucky next time.”
“You mean she is..?” he asked and couldn’t finish.
“Yes, she is. We will get an ultra sound after she wakes up but for now let her sleep and rest.”
It was a bit early to tell the press so she was going to wake till she was up and well and take it from there. She switched on the TV only to witness Talia doing the unthinkable in the park. When did she even go there?The response was quite good considering the fact that she humbled herself and ate at a food stall. People liked her which was good. It would have been bad if the reaction had been negative. Her head began spinning.She was going to be busy these coming weeks. She had nurseries to prepare even that were the job of the mother. She would just steal it from Talia. She will allow her to be willful at least this once. &nbs
When he came out of the hospital going to where the car was, he met reporters. He had no idea who slipped out the news that they were in the hospital but thankfully the guards were well prepared. They shielded them from the trauma of the reporters and they climbed into the car safely.The driver took them straight to the mansion where everyone had prepared a huge surprise for them.Talia cried when she saw how happy the staff was for her. It wasn’t overboard but it was touching. He carried her upstairs where their bedroom was. He couldn’t remember the last time he took her to bed. He really had missed his wife and it took him another incident to realize it.He tucked her in the bed and made sure the pillows were adjusted well.“Are you hungry?” he asked her.She looked at him and said, “I’m sorry for scaring you. I never meant to.”“I know. Let’s just forget about everything and start afr
Because she needed some peace in the house, her nursery had been put on hold. They would only continue while she wasn’t in the mansion like now. Talia followed the queen to the nursery room and fell in love with it.It was beautiful filled with neutral colors that didn’t discriminate anyone. The ceiling was covered with stars and was just appealing even to the elder’s eye.“I love it, it’s beautiful.”“I hope the child will love it too,” the queen said.“The child will. After all you put so much effort into making it.”“What else can I do? This brings me so much joy. I can’t wait for the baby to come.”“It’s early but time passes by fast,” she said.“Oh, I know it does. Let’s take a walk now, the paint is still fresh and might affect you,” the queen said and she was touched.She didn’t even register it in her
How long had it’s been just being the two of them having a nice chat without any fight like this? Is been a long time. He missed her and he wanted her but he was afraid of hurting her since she was pregnant.Talia turned her head towards her husband and saw the look in her husband’s eyes. She might be new to this but she wasn’t a fool to not notice what he wanted. For the first time she gave herself courage to initiate the first contact.It felt weird having her lips touching her husband’s. It’s been long since they were intimate and she was afraid he wouldn’t respond but to her surprise he did. Not only did he respond but he picked her up and she sat on top of his thighs straddling him.She had never been in this kind of position with him before. She turned around to check if anyone was looking; the driver but there was a screen between them.“It’s okay,” he said and pulled her face to his.His
Talia greeted every single one of them even though it was tiring. But the more she did it the more she realized why they stood there.“I’m honored to have you wait here for us. Thank you very much but as for the reason you all waited here, I will meet you one by one as the things we have ordered get loaded,” she said.“Good idea,” Neal said.They entered inside and they gave her the manager’s office for the consultation.“I will be outside; you just do your thing and don’t stress. We don’t want anything happening to the baby,” he said.“I will be careful. Take care,” she said and Neal left the room.The staff began to enter one by one and she began to help them in a way she could. Some wanted to know about their future, others just wanted to enquire. What she could help with she did.They were coming to an end and the last one entered. Beth gave her the bottle of
The limo left and headed for the CBD. Talia wanted a pizza so he was going to buy her one. The food court was inside the shopping mall, so they climbed out of the car and while holding hands the two of them made their journey to look for the pizza den. There was a long line and he just couldn’t use his power there but the benefits of being a royal member he got served first.He made the order for two large chicken tikka pizzas and the two waited for them inside. The feeling of waiting just like others was fascinating even though he knew they would be making his order first.His wife was busy having a banana this time and didn’t seem to care at all. By the time she gives birth Talia would be a very big ball and that would be quite fascinating. The thought of it made him smile.“What’s funny?” Talia asked.“I’m just happy that you are happy dear,” he said and gave her a peck on the cheek which made her blush.
She returned inside the mansion and went to her bedroom. The plastic bags were already on the bed. She removed them exposing the boxes inside. There was no note so she opened the first box and smiled.There was a white gown with embroidery of golden flowers and leaves. It was somehow creative, who would have such a thought? The outer robe was emerald green just like her eyes. It seemed whoever sent this knew her pretty well.The outer robe had matching golden flowers too just like the inner gown. She moved to the next box; the box contained her headdress. The headdress included several hairpins that formed a nice crown of flowers once pinned on the head.The next box had a pair of nice emerald green heels; she could see some diamonds sewed on top. One would kill for the shoe she thought. The last box’s contents were a golden clutch and her name was printed on it.Her name was like the design of the clutch and she felt very touched. If she could know
She hung up and put the phone on the bed. She looked at her clothes again and felt that it was her husband that had gone to this length. Did it mean that he had been preparing for it this whole time?She was supposed to be leaving in less than two hours and didn’t want to spoil her clothes so she left her room and went to the sitting room and she switched on the TV. She wasn’t expecting to see herself on TV again.The reporters had managed to find themselves rooted at the places she was going to be donating the winter clothes and the food. News really travelled very fast.One of the maids whom she keeps on forgetting her name came in with a plate of grapes.“Hey what was your name again?” she asked her.“Portia.”“Okay, I hope I won’t forget it this time. How old are you?”“I’m eighteen,” she said.“You are quite young but I like you,” she said
