The queens quarters
Standing in her regal might, her majesty stood by the window looking down at the palace garden and overlooked the kingdom down below.
She turned her head looking inside and said, “Is it time for my bath yet?”
Her lady-in-waiting bowed, “Answering to your majesty, the bath has been prepared.”
She nodded her head and walked over to her bed and sat down. The lady-in-waiting knelt down and started undressing the queen who had many thoughts running through her mind.
She climbed into the warm water and hissed as her feet touched the water.
Relaxing against the edge of the tub, she looked at her lady-in-waiting and asked, “Why is it
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,” Aldrige yelled as he firmly gripped his thighs as he held his legs up.He started breathing heavily and exhaled quickly.Mrs Wright stared at Aldridge’s asshole that was slowly stretching with a lock of brown hair sticking out.“Okay your highness, take a deep breath in and push, I can see the baby’s head and remember do not scream,” she instructed him carefully.Aldridge let go of the breath he was keeping, “I can’t do this anymore, we’ve been at it for fifteen minutes and the child isn’t here yet.”“This is the sacrifice mothers make, now push and stay strong, Lord Segatchigan is waiting for you,” she encouraged him.
Shawn sat with his son in his arms as he looked at Aldridge who was sitting in a rocking chair.“What?” Aldridge asked him embarrassed.Shawn smiled, “I’ve just been thinking, when an Earl or Duke marries a woman and she gives him a child, they give their wives a reward, usually money but here I am and I cannot afford to give you anything.”Aldridge shook his head, “You worry about meaningless things. Anthony is my reward already. Shawn, what I wanted came true, I was able to give you a child - a supernatural occurrence that has yet to be explained. That is my gift, I do not need money or material things, I just hope we can continue growing our family.”Shawn looked down at their son with a smile. Picking up Anthony’s
Joshua exhaled finally with the last push and heard the baby cry. His head was lulling to the left as he asked, “Is my baby okay?”“Yes my lord, you have given birth to a baby boy,” the majordomo said and as he wrapped the baby in a blanket.The doors opened and Shawn walked in. He looked at the baby in the majordomo’s arms and walked up to him, “Give him here.”The majordomo looked at him worried but handed the baby to Shawn and said, “Congratulations my lord, it’s a boy.”Shawn couldn’t help but smile and looked at his son. He had Shawn’s brown hair instead of Joshua’s black and said as he walked around the bed, “He has my hair.”Joshu
Joshua stared at his father who was walking up and down with Matthias in his arms while he handled business and asked, “Father, when are you going to give me my son back, you’ve been hogging him all to yourself, what if he thinks you are his parent and not Shawn and me?”Alfred looked at his son then glanced over at Shawn saying, “That would be the best especially since his father has another family.”“As if you don’t?” Joshua retorted earning a glare from Alfred.Shawn continued cutting the steak on his plate and said, “Your father will be leaving soon, just let him be, besides, Matthias knows your voice, he will never mistake someone else as his parent.”Joshua looked over at him and said, “Don’t h
“Joshua please, I just found out that my husband did not survive childbirth, I do not want to fight with you,” Shawn said.“Yes Aldridge is dead but he…” Shawn did not let Joshua finish and smacked him across the face.Joshua cupped his cheek that was burning and he said, “Just get yourself in that chamber and I do not want to see your face unless I need to.”Shawn walked out of the chamber and made his way downstairs, “All of you get up and get back to work. No one is dying, a prince was just born and he needs you all to support him.”It took a moment but the servants got back to work. Mr Wright followed Shawn out back and they stopped in the centre of the yard away from everything and Shawn stood with his back to t
Shawn walked into the dungeon and up to the bed Aldridge was lying on. Aldridge looked up at him and smiled, he looked back down at Anthony and said, “Your son seems odd.”Shawn chuckled, “Very cautious if you ask me.”“And observant,” Aldridge added.Shawn sat down on the bed and kissed Aldridge on the lips. As he pulled away he frowned saying, “You taste like fish.”Aldridge rolled his eyes, “Mrs Wright gave me fish soup. When are you two leaving?”“When Joshua wakes up,” Shawn answered.Aldridge rolled his eyes, “Well, I see he has yet to learn his lesson, are you sure I cannot kill him?”
Silas sat on the bed with his daughter in his arms and with a huge smile on his face. Mary sat beside her brother looking at the child and asked, “So, are the two of you back together?”Silas shook his head and looked ahead at the window. They could see Hudson sitting on the lawn eating. “He did buy us this house and my freedom. The best thing that I have is the child, our daughter.”“She is beautiful and she looks like him, what does she have of yours?” Mary asked.Silas chuckled, “It doesn’t matter. She came from me and I am so proud of myself for giving birth successfully.”Mary nodded her head thinking about Aldridge and asked, “Why do you think all of this is happening?”
Shawn arrived at Silas’s house with his son and Agnus but told Agnus she should wait in the carriage until he needed her. She nodded but needed to use the toilet so he let her be.He walked into the house with his son and Agnus behind him and made it to Aldridge’s room after showing her the way to the toilet.He knocked on the door but there was no answer. He opened the door and looked inside and saw that Aldridge was still asleep. He smiled amused and walked in closing the door.He walked over to the bed and sat down. He fixed Anthony to sit properly on him and pulled the comforter off of Aldridge. Aldridge’s mouth was parted slightly and as tempting as it was to kiss him. He reached over and pinched Aldridge’s nose closed and twisted it.
“SHAWN!!” Aldridge yelled at the top of his lungs.Shawn was out back on the lawn with Sebastian and their daughter Victoria. Sebastian groaned displeased, asking, “What is it now.”Shawn smirked amused, he turned to look at Aldridge, who was dragging Anthony and Matthias, who was covered in white powder to him. He stopped in front of them and said, “I am tired of you and your offspring. I’m going away. I don’t know where, but any place is better than this madhouse.”“As Aldridge was leaving, Sebastian yelled, “So you are leaving me with this mess?”“Deal with it!” Aldridge yelled over his shoulder and left.Shawn looked at his sons, who were just s
Joshua’s screaming could be heard throughout the estate. Shawn was inside, holding his hand while Miriam and the servants were rushing.“One last push and baby number two will be out,” Miriam assured them as she held half of the baby’s body in her arms.Joshua looked at Shawn and felt dizzy. He took in a deep breath as he squeezed his hand, then pushed hard.Miriam guided the baby out and quickly cut the umbilical cord. She wrapped him in a towel and handed him to Lilith, saying, “Make sure they are clean.”Shawn wiped the sweat off Joshua’s forehead and kissed him on the lips, “You did so well.”Joshua forced a smile and said, “Shawn, you know I love you, righ
The sun was setting and just as they thought they would have another quiet day, there was a knock on the door. Miriam was closest to the door and answered. She saw Richard standing there holding his daughter, and it looked like he had cried.At his feet were five bags, and it was as if she travelled into the past when he would sleepover. Richard looked at her sadly and asked, “Is there an extra room for us?”“I’ll let them know you are here. For now, you can leave your bags there and follow me to the family room.” She said and closed the door when he stepped in.Following her to the family room, he saw Prince Christian sitting by the fireplace, reading a book. Christian looked up and raised a brow. He looked at Miriam, who introduced who he was, then ignored Richard.She went to let Shawn and the others know he was here. Aldridge and Joshua went to see him while Sebastian stayed in his room.
Shawn walked out of the estate with a thick fury coat on and waited as the carriage pulled up to the steps. Joan Coachman jumped off her seat and rushed inside, hurrying away from the cold.Shawn shook his head amused and walked up as the door opened and out stepped Hudson with a frown on his face. He walked past Shawn too after greeting and went inside to warm up.Alice stepped out of the carriage and looked at the beautiful estate covered in snow and when she laid eyes on Shawn, her eyes watered as she smiled. Rushing into Shawn’s arms, she said, “It’s so good to see you again, big brother.”Shawn chuckled, giving her a tight squeeze and said, “Now you know where I stay, so you should visit often.”Alice rolled her eyes and looked ba
“I need to think this through,” Sebastian said, rubbing his forehead. He felt like crying, not even he could pull off something like this and in the end, she was not even executed. He looked over at Aldridge and asked, “So, did you kill my mother?”“I don’t know what the fuck she tried to do after I closed the cell door. She jumped off the bed and fell straight to earth,” he said.“So she really died like I suspected,” he confirmed.Shawn turned to Joshua, who was beyond angry and said, “Joshua, I know you disagree with the affairs I have and with what I do, but that is just how I am and I will never change. Even when I was with Aldridge, I let you walk into my life and it was not only you. But what I can assure you is that everyone that matte
Three weeks later…Sebastian stood in front of the mirror with his shirt in his mouth and ran his hand over his stomach. “I can’t believe I am already showing. I even had to buy new clothes to hide this,” he complained.Covering himself, he walked out of the estate and to the carriage. He looked at Joann Coachman and asked, “Where do you plan to take me?”“I am only instructed to pick you up, not give you any information,” she said and faced the front. Joshua stuck his head out of the carriage and said, “Hurry or we will leave you behind!”Sebastian looked at him surprised and asked, “Why the hell are you here?”“Oh, it disgusts me too that you are going to be in here with my children. Just hurry so we can go see what Shawn wants us to,” he said, and pulled his head back in.Climbing instead, Sebastian saw that Agnus and Lilith were in
“I’m coming!” The Majordomo of the Hillroge estate yelled at the person banging on the front door.He pulled the door open and saw a furious Sebastian. He stepped aside and bowed, “Welcome, your highness.”“Is Shawn here?” He asked. The majordomo nodded his head, “Yes he is, please follow me.”Sebastian was led to the where he saw Shawn teaching Matthias to walk. Joshua was lying on a blanket with Anthony sitting on his back eating fruit.He walked up to Joshua and cleared his throat. Turning his head to look at him, Joshua’s face, “What the fuck are you doing here?”“Oh now, you shouldn’t be cursing in front of children,” Sebastian said
Shawn’s heavy footsteps could be heard hitting against the concrete floor. He made his way down to the last cell and turned on his heels. He glared into the cell at the queen, who looked up at him blankly.“Are you comfortable?” He asked her.She lowered her gaze and said, “Ever since you entered our lives, things have gone downhill for the royal family.”Shawn raised a brow and smirked. “No, the moment you tried to kill Aldridge the first time, things went downhill for you. Aldridge never died once I came into his life.”She scoffed and lifted her gaze. Standing up, she walked towards the bars and said, “But he finally died, didn’t he?”Shawn stared into her eyes an
Sebastian opened his mother’s door and looked inside. He saw her sitting on her bed, sewing something. Clearing his throat, he said, “Good morning, mother.”She looked up and placed the needle and shirt down she was busy with and smiled, “Good morning son, what can I do for you?”“I came to visit you,” he said as he walked over to her.Queen Katherine sighed, smiling she said, “Son, you are investigating me and the duke ordered that I should receive no visitors, not even from my own servants.”He looked at her and with a weary smile he said, “Things are not looking good for you mother.”“Sebastian, I am innocent,” she said.He shook his head unamused and went to sit down on the bed. Taking her hands in his, he said, looking into her eyes, “Mother, I have good news.”“What is it? Does it have something to do with my ca
