I opened the most recent box of baby clothes I had ordered and spilled them all over my bed. I looked around my room and smiled in satisfaction at the baby items scattered all over. I'd be lying if I said that seeing all of this didn't give me baby fever, but I was too tired to try for one.
Before Syn, I spent years trying to get pregnant and trying to move past failed pregnancies. I wasn't trying to go through any of that again. Anyways even if I wanted to, Lucifer wouldn't...or couldn't. He never truly clarified because it wasn't something we ever talked about.
"Gen."
I turned to the door to see Julius walk in and I shook my head. "What do you want?"
He looked around my room and frowned. "Are you pregnant? What's going on?"
It was my duty as his Queen to always let him know of any news in the kingdom but Syn asked me not to tell anyone, so I wouldn't.
"Just getting some things for one of the servant's babies," I lied.
"She's having a girl?" He asked as he pointed to all the pink items.
"Maybe, maybe not. A boy can wear pink too, Julius."
"Right," he said as he closed the door behind him. With a sigh, he came to my bed and sat on the edge of it.
"What's going on with you?" I asked. He shrugged and remained in his thought-filled state and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Then why are you here?"
"I wanted to tell you that Syn and Queen are going to have a dinner here. One week from today."
I frowned as they hadn't mentioned anything to me about it but I let it go. Maybe they just forgot. "Are you decorating it?"
"Who else would do it, Genesis?" He asked. "I'm the best there is." I wanted to tell him he wasn't. He just never let anyone else plan anything here to find out if they were good. His dominating personality when it came to design was lethal.
"I'm sure," I replied. "What's the dinner for?"
"They have news."
"Oh, that's nice," I said sweetly to hide the fact that I already knew this "supposed" news...Queen's pregnancy.
"Can I tell you something and you promise not to tell anyone?" He asked me, clasping his hands together as he stared off at the floor.
"Go ahead." I made sure not to promise to keep my mouth shut though, I didn't owe him any secrecy after all his bullshit.
"I'm tired of being ruling. I think a part of me knew that when I killed that Angel," he said.
"Why are you tired?"
"It is so much responsibility and I've been doing it for almost one thousand years," he spoke. "One kingdom after another, deaths upon deaths...I'm tired of it. It's repetitive. I want to go someplace far away from here, and never look back."
