Emily's POV
I was baffled by my mother's question. "Preg... nant? Mom, are you crazy? Of course I'm not pregnant. I've always been careful when it comes to having sex. I—" I paused as memories of the heated night with Sebastian flooded my mind, "I'm always careful," I finished, but I knew I was lying.
I missed my Levonorgestrel pills the morning after because when I got back to the hotel pills weren't even on my mind.
"Okay," my mother simply said, and I knew she wouldn't leave it at that. If there wsa one thing I was certain on about with my mother, it that it's unfinished business whenever she's calm.
I swallowed the fear and my senses tasted the imaginary liquid at the back of my throat. I walked out of the bathroom and went back to the bedroom. I was still sleepy.
At midday I woke again to my mother standing in the doorway, looking at me with a sly smile on her pretty face that never seemed to be aging.
"You know I won't leave you alone

Sebastian's POVThe night wind blew extra cold tonight. I was on the balcony, staring up at the dark sky, feeling alone and sorry for myself, but thoughts of Emily weren't leaving my mind, and the times I had spent with her, I'd give anything to have those times back again. I couldn't get over her smile, her touches, her scent, the sparkles in her eyes whenever she'd look at me.Someone touched my shoulder and I leaped."Didn't mean to startled you. Sorry.""Naomi, what you doing here?" I brought my attention to her."I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about you and the manner in which you walked out on our wedding. Why Sebastian? Was it me?""No. This has nothing to do with you. It's me.""Okay. Is it that you're not ready to get married to me, or is there someone else?"I chuckled lightly at her question and took her face in. She was no Emily but she was beautiful to look at and I felt guilty that she was in this position, but I also

Emily's POV"I'll knock his face off!" Evan, my twin brother, exclaimed when I told the family who was responsible for my pregnancy.Everyone was gathered in the living room, drilling me with unnecessary questions as if the child was going to be born into poverty. I had more than enough money to give this child everything and anything his or her tiny heart desire."You're not going to do that Evan," I defended."He knocked up my baby sister and you think I—"I didn't let him finish, I had had enough of his bickering and input. "JUST STOP! You're not going to do anything to him. I'm not in high school anymore Evan. I'm twenty six. I'm a woman and I don't need anyone fighting my battles for me because there isn't a battle to fight. This baby will be loved and spoiled in the best of ways, and I really don't need a man to do that.""Emily, you can't do this on your own," my mother let out."I can and I will," I said as I slumped.&nbs

Sebastian's POVThe unpleasantness had subsided from my father when Emily and I were required to join him in the dinning room for dinner the following evening. He sat strongly at the head of the table and I sat on his right with Princess Naomi opposite from me and Emily next to her. In this palace, the King sat at the head of the table and immediate royals and family sat to the right of him. Invited guests and women sat on the left and opposite their companions.While dinner was being served, my cousin walked in— tall with confident strides and a bright beaming smile displayed on his face that everyone claimed to have somewhat of a close resemblance to mine. He sat down beside me and patted me in a manly manner on my back."Ah, my favorite cousin. It's nice to see you again," he greeted."What are you doing here?" I knew my father had threatened my position, but I never thought it would be so sudden."I was invited," he answered coolly. "Thanks fo

Emily's POVI left the restroom and caught Sebastian just in time before his fist collided with David's face. Sebastian already had him pinned up against the wall by his throat, but I moved between them, trying to use myself to calm the murderous tension. He released David, who started gasping for air and clenching his chest.Sebastian had snapped. I'd never seen that angry side of him, and I was to be blamed for him acting in that kind of matter. I hated family drama and the unfriendly atmosphere it can cause, but I knew that when David walked in the room, that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions because I had hurt him when I called off everything with him and he was not expecting that to happen.A loud scene erupted: Sebastian, David and King. I ran back to the bathroom and cried my eyes out and to hide myself because I was so ashamed. The door pushed in and a happy looking princess walked in."You know, people with common lives are always full of d

Sebastian's POVI woke up with an excruciating headache and my stomach felt like it had been tied in a knot. I sluggishly dismounted my king-sized bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up.I chose a terrible night to drink myself drunk, and now I'm left with a nasty hangover and a loss of memory of what took place last night.After freshening up with a warm shower, I went back into my bedroom to get dressed and found Emily sitting on the bed deep in thought and her eyes focused to the great beyond."Good morning," I greeted and tightened my bath towel."Good morning. Sorry to invade your personal space, but I think I need a checkup from a doctor.""What's wrong?"She got off the bed with an annoyed sigh. "Morning sickness Sebastian.""Okay. I'll get a doctor immediately.""Thanks." She walked towards the door.I moved to stop her. I know I had been blowing up about her and my cousin, and that caused a huge gape be

Emily's POVI waited by myself in the castle's medical room while Sebastian was in a meeting with his head-strong father. After what seemed to be twenty very long minutes, a bubbly looking doctor with a wide smile entered the room, startling me just a tad bit since I was getting used to my own company."Hello there, I'm Dr. Samm and I'll be your OBGNY. How are you feeling?" he asked as he placed a stethoscope around his neck."I've been better. It's mainly the morning sickness doing a number on me, and I forgot my pills in the US," I explained."That wouldn't be an issue, and morning sickness is very common and normal. Now, can you please lie backwards so I can conduct an ultrasound?""Sure," I responded and obliged.The cold gel hit my stomach as I lifted my shirt. Across from me, the monitor came to life with a tiny image of early stage development of my baby."Excellent. I'd say about two months," Dr. Samm stated and that made me rather u

Emily's POV"Come here, I want to show you something," Sebastian told me as he took my hand and led me out of the room.We walked outdoors to the very back of the palace where my eyes fell upon a luxury swimming pool surrounded by different roses with different colors. Some of the petals floated around in the pool of water and it looked like a spa rose-bath was awaiting."This was my mom's favorite place in this palace. She use to come here to think or just to get away from everything.""It's beautiful," I replied, and it really was."She designed it herself and she planted the roses. She loved roses." His eyes twinkled as he spoke.He must really miss his mom. I can't imagine what I'd do without my mother, without being able to call her on the phone to hear her voice and her cheerfulness."She's in a better place," I said to comfort him."Yeah. I do believe so."We walked over to two lounge chairs and sat down with a

Emily's POV"I can't believe the Queen is coming tomorrow," Sebastian stated as he ran his hand down his face."What does she have to do with anything?" I asked and he looked at me as if I had asked him the world's dumbest question."We're still governed by her laws so, basically, she has everything to do with everything," he answered in a technical way and I picked up on it.He walked out of the room, leaving me feeling dumb.____________Sebastian's POVI walked into my bathroom and took a rather long shower. I allowed the water to run over my hair to my toes and my father's words echoed in the back of my mind again. I had no plans on getting married again, and I was not about to shake in my boots because the Queen was coming.Turning the shower off, I got dressed and went to join the world's most stubborn father in the grand hall room and, to my utmost surprise, the Queen was already present, sitting at the other head of the t
