"EMILY, my darling!" my mother greeted loudly as her eyes caught me entering the dining room.
I was pulled into her firm arms like a child and I found consolation in them. I missed my parents and I missed home.
She led me to the table and I noticed she was dinning alone.
"Where's Dad?" I asked, hoping something wasn't wrong. I had been away so long and I usually missed out on the family dramas, dinners and events.
"Oh, he's in the study getting some paperwork for Evan. He should be done any minute now." She started eating off her plate.
"Great," I answered shortly with a sigh of exhaustion.
"Baby, what's the matter?" She stopped eating and waited for me to answer.
"Nothing that I can't handle. I'm just winded and I think that I need about six months rest from all the hotels and travels," I said with a slump.
"Oh, my poor baby, you need to take a much needed rest, Emily. You've already done so much."
"I kno

Emily's POVI 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

I yelled after my energetic five year-old."Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," he sang as he slid down, disobediently, right into his father's arms at the end of the stairs."Hey son.""Hey Daddy.""Dismount the banister," he told him as he help him off. "Your mom and I don't want you sliding on it because you can really hurt yourself one day. Okay?""Okay Saddy. Sorry Mommy." His grey and hazel eyes looked up apologetically at me."Good, now let's get you to breakfast." I took his tiny hand and led him to the breakfast table where his grandfather was waiting for us."Grandpa!" he shouted and ran into his grandfather's arms, who was always excited to have him around.Christian was a fearless child with a side of adventure to him. He always wanted to go hiking and/or personal trips with his father and I. It broke our hearts on one occasion when we had to go to England

Emily's POV"Naomi. Put. Down. My. Son," I told her when she started rocking Christian back and forth in her arms.My blood came to a boil but I quickly put a robe on and threw my bath towel to the side."This should have been my child— my child with Sebastian. Not Yours!" Her voice grew louder and Christian started crying."Naomi, just put him back in his crib, he has nothing to do with anything. He's a baby! Are you crazy? We can get you the help that you need.""Don't you psychoanalyze me! I'm not crazy!""Okay." I put my hands up to look defeated and made small steps towards her.She was distracted by Christian's crying and was humming a song to make him stop as she continued to rock him in her nasty arms.I reached her and she handed him over to me without another word. Her facial expression was blank and she appeared to be distraught. I rested Christian back into his crib, and when I turned around to face Naomi again

Accepting defeat, I sat down on the bed with a long face. Sebastian threw his arm around my neck and kissed me gently."I'm a cow," I let out and put on another dress."A sexy cow," he comforted and I huffed at him.I'd never seen a sexy cow but the weight gain was quite normal during pregnancy, along with the cravings._____Flash Back To Two Months Ago"Sebastian, I want ice cream," I said as I shook his sleeping figure next to me."Em, it's one in the morning," he groaned as he woke and turned on the lights."Yes, but the baby doesn't care about that.

Emma, did you remove them to do your own makeup?""Yes I did, I left them on the table right next to the brushes.""They're not here!""Oh, check in the top drawer. I forgot I put them in there."The females around me were going into panic mode. I was the only calm one in the room with a wide smile on my face as I took them in. It was my wedding day, shouldn't I be the one panicking?"Ladies, ladies! Relax.

Sebastian's POV"It was no accident Father! Naomi pushed Emily over the stairs, and I'm not going to rest until she pays for what she did. Emily could have been permanently injured or worse! What the hell was Naomi thinking? All of this because I'm not in love with her and wouldn't make her my wife!"I was livid as I explained to my father that Naomi was responsible for Emily's accident."Sebastian I will take care of this, and you should be focusing on asking for Emily's hand in marriage. Along with the surprise you plan on giving her.""Thanks Dad," I replied as I gave him a manly hug before leaving his office.The following evening, I found Emily on her balcony reading a book. She had her feet up and her silk dress hoisted up, revealing her smooth skin underneath.I cleared my throat loudly to get her attention. "You know, if you look this good while reading a book, I just might want to make a few more chapters with you," I teased.

Sebastian's POVIt has been two weeks and Emily still hasn't woken up.I was in the private room with her, I had been all night long. I was exhausted, hungry and my eyes hurt from lack of sleep, but I wanted to be right by her side for when she woke up, and looked at me, and told me how much she loves me and wanted to get married to me.A knock came on the door. I looked up and saw her mother walking into the room with a large bouquet of roses."Hi," she greeted."Good morning Mrs. Hollen.""Just call me Emma. You've been here all night, haven't you?"I nodded."Sebastian, you look extremely drained. You can't carry on like this. Emily wouldn't want this for you. Why don't you head on home, freshen up, have a decent meal and take a rest.""But what if she wakes up and I'm not here?""I promise I'll call you, even if she only moves her fingers for a few seconds."I was hesitant on leaving Emily's side, but I trus

Sebastian's POVWe heard screaming coming from the hallway."What's going on?" my father asked, rising from his chair and I followed suit.We rushed out the door and followed the noise to the stairs. My eyes dreaded the sight. Emily was lying on the floor with blood pooling from the back of her head. Cuts and bruises were visible and she wasn't moving."WHAT HAPPENED!?" I shouted at the top of my lungs."We don't know, Prince Sebastian. We were in the kitchen and we heard a tumbling. When we got here, we found her just like this. She must have tripped over her shoe laces, lost her balance or something," one of the maids explained with tears in her eyes."We already called the emergency number, they're on the way," another stated before I could even ask.I dropped to Emily's level, carefully trying to wake her up."Don't move her son," my father commanded."Emily, baby, can you hear me? Emily, please make a sound, a movement

Sebastian's POVCreeping out of her bedroom wasn't on my list of things to do. I watched as she slept peacefully, loose strands of hair covering almost a quarter of her face. Her chest rose and fell with every breath she took, and she made soft snoring sounds.My hand landed gently on her stomach with the image of having a bouncing baby with her. I didn't care if it was going to be a boy or a girl, as long as it was with Emily. Hell, at one point, I didn't care if I was going to be the father. I would have adopted him or her and been a family with Emily.An idea crossed my mind at that very moment, and I quickly got up from the bed and freshened up in my own room. Afterwards, I went to seek out my father. I found him in his office with a frown looking Naomi."Good morning Father, good morning Naomi." I still had the decency to acknowledge her.She smiled at me right before leaping onto me and embracing my frame in a rather tight hug."Let go

*Strong Content Present*Sebastian's POVI bumped into my father as I walked through the grand hall to get upstairs."Son, I'm sorry," he stated, "for pushing you into marriage, for favoring your cousin over you, for everything."I squirmed as my cousin was mentioned and I remembered Emily's pregnancy. Putting it at the back of my mind was only working so much, and no matter how I looked at things between us, that baby was coming."Apology accepted Dad but you were right about one thing, Emily's baby isn't mine. The doctor said she's two months along and we've only been involved for four weeks now. She should be around three weeks at the most."My father's face fell, but he straightened his posture. "It is your baby. I told the doctor to lie to the both of you.""WHAT?! How could you? Why would you do that to us?""Because I wanted you away from her, son. I thought you'd hate her when you heard that the baby isn't yours, but I was wron
