"I hope I do. But please promise me that you will stay with me," I pleaded.
Amberly opened her mouth to say something but instead looked at her husband. "Actually, Clarkson and I were planning of living somewhere else than the palace."
"What?" Maxon and I asked in a loud voice.
"That's correct," the King said wrapping an arm around his wife's. "We were living behind this walls for too long. There is no obligation for us anymore once we crown you King and Queen, so we are living in one of the islands in the South East."
Maxon and I looked at each other with worried eyes. "Don't worry we will stay a couple of months after the coronation. But I have no doubt that you two will do great."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"For our new King and Queen!" Gavril cheered holding his wine glass up in the air. Maxon and I were sitting at the front of the reception still amused that we were already King and Queen. Maxon drank from his cup and kissed me.
"Congratulations my Queen," he whispered.
"Congratulations my King." Maxon grinned and moved his hand, cupping my cheek. Then he placed the other hand on my tummy. I had a big bump and Maxon was just amused how it was growing so fast.
My dress was a little excessive but all the Princesses wore this in their coronation. Since I was the only Princess in history to be pregnant in her own coronation they had to make some adjustments. But the fact that it was regal and gorgeous didn't change.
Maxon looked like he was King long ago. His Prince uniform had being changed in to a King's one, with more medals and different color.I couldn't stop saying how it suited him perfectly. His sparkling eyes and heart warming smile made him look like the best King in the whole universe.
Our inter whined hands told me how close we had become these past few years, and how that bond will keep growing. No matter what challenges we may have to face, we will still stay together. Because we were just Maxon and America.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What are you doing today, darling?" Maxon asked placing me on his lap. The maids cleaning our table giggled, and I blushed.
"I am in charge of showing the new staff the palace, remember?" I said caressing his cheek.
"Oh right. Take it easy, okay? Remember the doctor said..." before he could finish I kissed him tired of hearing the same words over and over.
"I know," I sighed and he smirked.
"I'll have to start going, Maxon. Good luck with your meeting, darling," I said giving him a last kiss on the cheek.
I walked toward the main hall where new staffs were waiting for me. I heard people murmuring around the corner and Marlee waved me from the distance.
After Maxon and I took the throne we immediately let Marlee and Carter wander free around the palace. Most of the people of the staff knew about them so there was no much trouble in that. Carter was now Maxon's personal assistance and Marlee was mine.
"They are ready, Your Majesty" Marlee teased, and I swatted her arm.
I turned the corner ,heads turn and the murmuring died. I could see how nervous they were, and I smiled remembering the fist day I came to the palace. "Hello and good evening ladies and gentlemen," I greeted.
"Good evening, Your Majesty," they chorused.
"Welcome to the palace. The King and I are grateful for your volunteering at helping us here at the palace. It's a pleasure to have you work here in my home and I hope you have an enjoyable time here as well. If you ask the staff at the palace they will tell you that I love to be friends with everyone in the palace. I hope we could have a great time together. This woman over here is Marlee and she is the main coordinator of employers and my personal assistant. She will be helping you guys a lot the first few weeks to help you adjust to the palace. This is also Mary Coral and she is the head maid of the palace. She is the most wonderful person in the world and she will orient new maids" I said.
"I will give you a brief tour of the palace to make it easier for you to locate some important places in the palace, but a palace map will be provided for you in your rooms. Also we will go over some basic rules I hope you will never break during your time here. The first rule is that you will not be allowed in the throne room, the royal family's room, the royal family's studies, meeting rooms and the jail room without being required for your presence. The second rule is that romantic relationships are allowed between workers but if that relationship interferes with your job we will have to decided on the consequences," I said and saw a couple hold their hands making me grin.
"The third rule is that even though I will like to have the most amiable and comfortable relationship with you guys, the fact that I am Queen doesn't change. Please call us Your Majesty to me and my husband and Your Highness to the prince and princess coming soon." I rubbed my belly and some girls giggled.
"The other rules Marlee will have the favor to explain, mean while I will love to show you the palace. Any questions?" I asked already tired. A girl my age raised her hand shyly. "Yes?"
"Can we know how many months are you pregnant, Your Majesty? Well if we have to take care of you, I think it should be helpful for us to know."
"Of course, I am eight and a half months pregnant," I said and people gasped.
"Aren't you really close to your due date, Your Majesty?" the girl asked.
"Well, since I am going to have twins we don't know the exact date for the arrival but I it will be soon. Everyone in the palace is alert at any signs of their arrival so please don't worry. Now please follow me."
I showed them the Throne Room, which was rarely used, and it was prohibited for anyone to come since the official crowns were kept here. Then I showed them the ballroom, dinning room, women's room, etc. We got to the second floor were we had our studies and the meeting rooms. Even though we had only walked for 40 minutes I felt like I had walked 40 hours. My back started to hurt and I was almost dragging my feet. I caught the gaze of the girl that asked about my pregnancy date and she was laughing at something behind my back. I turned around and a pair of brown eyes startled me.
"Maxon," I laughed as he hugged me from behind wrapping his arms around my huge stomach. This position was very inappropriate for royals but everyone else in the palace was use to it and if my new staff was going to work here, then they should start to get use to it too. I felt all eyes on us and I just closed my eyes relaxing on Maxon's arms.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," Maxon greeted.
"Good morning, Your Majesty," they said in unison.
"I'll borrow the Queen for a minute," he said and he took me around the corner. I laughed as he pressed me to the wall and brought his lips to mine. I kissed him back tilting my head to deepen the kiss. I laughed when he moved his lips to my neck this was just getting a little too intimate.
"I thought you had a meeting," I sighed as his lips sucked on a piece of my neck.
"We just took a break," he murmured into my neck. Suddenly a pain I had never felt before made me shriek and lose balance. Maxon caught me while I just kept screaming and gasping from the pain. Marlee was alerted and she came in seconds.
"Maxon? America?" she asked running over to me.
"Marlee I need to take her to the hospital wing! Please take care of the rest." Maxon exclaimed and Marlee nodded as he ran carrying me toward the hospital wing.
