The Prince's Love

Chapter 14: A Day of Mixed Emotions

Story Note(s):

No one answered this last chapter, so I just want to ask it again. Do you like Edward's name? I'm hoping the no comments means you're fine with it, but I just don't know. I'm not in love with it, so please, if you have any suggestions, or just don't like it, say something! I promise I will not be offended, I don't like it much either, I just really want to know, and I honestly have no idea what to do for a name. If no one says anything, I will just leave it, which I'm fine with, but I know names are pretty important, and I don't want to ruin it with a bad name. If anyone know someone who is named or is named Edward, this isn't meant to be rude or offensive, I don't hate the name, it's a perfectly good name, I just don't know if it suits my character, you know? Anyway, PLEASE respond to this comment, I really need an opinion on this.

Now, I have decided just to make this a ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ for the entire chapter, because although the possibly triggering event only occurs once, there is a lot leading up to it and mentions of it, and it would be really annoying to keep putting trigger warnings up everywhere throughout the chapter. I wasn't sure if a panic/anxiety attack would be considered something to put a trigger warning up for, but I figured I would rather be safe and put it up. I'm sorry if that means some of you can't read this chapter, but if it applies to you, I can give you a summary of the chapter, just private message me or ask for it in a comment!

Here's chapter 14, I hope you like it!

Melissa's POV

Charlotte had gone to get Sev an ice pack, because he hit his head hard in his fall. It wasn't anything too damaging, but she said it would definitely leave a bruise. As I was sitting there, I got lost in my own thoughts.

The fact that Sev fainted worried me. He was happy about having one baby, but did him fainting mean that he couldn't handle two? What if he didn't want them? What if he left me over this?

And then there was the fact that I was having twins. To be honest, I was thrilled at the fact. Sure, it would be a lot harder to manage, but I was so happy that I would get two little children. It was a surprise, but definitely a good one. At least I thought it was.

I wanted to ask Sev when he woke up, but Charlotte immediately went into talking about what having twins meant, and I knew better than to zone out again.

"Please don't worry if your symptoms seem really bad. Carrying twins can mean that your symptoms are twice as bad, but it doesn't happen to everyone. You will also, if you haven't figured this out already, grow a lot bigger than you would if you were having one baby. Even though it may seem like your body can't handle it, I promise you it will. You're very healthy, and I see no reason for anything to go wrong," Charlotte said, smiling at me.

I smiled back, and she started to stand, when she seemed to remember something. She turned back to me and said, "One last thing. Please ask for help when you need it, Melissa. I know you're strong, and that you like doing things on your own, but there is no reason for you to be straining yourself. Take breaks when you need them, and don't be afraid to ask for some help."

I nodded, and I saw Sev smirking at me as she walked out the door. I looked at him questioningly, and his smirk grew wider as he said, "Better not complain when I carry you again, you heard what she said."

I slapped him on the shoulder playfully. "Sev! That's not what she meant!" I yelled at him, laughing.

He smiled back, but after a minute the expression on his face grew serious. "Really though, I don't want you straining yourself. Please, don't push yourself too far, let me help you if you need it," he told me.

I gave him a quick kiss and said, while standing up to walk out, "Alright, just promise that you won't baby me."

He stood up as well and intertwined his hand with mine, and answered with, "You know I can't promise that, Isa."
