Once Upon A Drunken Mistake

31. Meeting Again

3 Months Later...

Flora rubbed her baby bump as she tapped her chin with her other hand, examining the painting intensely. "Hmm," she hummed, her husband holding his breathe by her side. "It's a little crooked don't you think."

"My love —"

Flora's soft laughter rang across the room causing Hayden to sigh in relief. "I got you good, your majesty — Eek!"

Hayden picked up her wife and spun her around, making sure to be gentle because of her growing bump. He gently placed her back on the ground and kissed her.

"I thought I would have to fix that painting for the fiftieth time," Hayden exasperated, throwing his hands in the air.

Flora giggled as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Hayden smiled at her touch and brought her closer. "It's perfect," Flora smiled at the finished baby room.

Rebecca walked inside the room, her eyes wondering around. "It's so sim—" Rebecca cut herself off as she noticed her son's glare. "It's simply amazing."

She forced herself to wear an approving smile as Flora turned to face her. The young Queen smiled proudly as she interlocked her hands over her bump. "It is a bit simple for a royal baby's room," Flora confessed, her bright smile remaining in her lips. "But it's simplicity makes it all the more charming."

Rebecca nodded. "As long as the babe has somewhere to sleep."

Flora glanced over at Hayden and simply shrugged. The two knew his mother would've wanted a much more extravagant room for the baby, but were happy because she did not voice any rude comments which was progress.

       "Nonetheless, I came here to inform you that Dr. Moretti is here to see you," Rebecca announced.

       Flora's eyebrows furrowed together. "But he was just here last week."

       Rebecca glanced at Hayden who wore a mischievous smirk. "He wants to make sure our baby is as healthy as can be. The more visits the better, my love."

       "Very well," Flora gave in and she followed her husband down to the main lounge, Rebecca close behind them. As they entered the lounge, Flora broke into a wide grin. "Indiana!"

"Flora!" Indiana squealed as she rushed to her best-friend and hugged her. "Wow, this little guy has gotten so big."

Flora chuckled as Indiana rubbed her belly. "We do not know if it is a boy yet."

"I know it is," Indiana shrugged nonchalantly.

"How was your trip?" Flora asked as the two friends walked over to the couch. Hayden and Rebecca smiled at one another before walking out.

"It was good," Indiana smiled. "It helped me heal after the loss of Ethan and Benjamin made sure I was happy every day."

"I'm happy to hear that," Flora replied. "You needed that time away from here."

"So, I brought you something back from the States," Indiana stood up and snuck over to the lounge entrance.

"What is it?" Flora asked curiously.

"Tada!" Indiana did a little hop as she pointed at the lounge entrance where Flora's parents stood along with her brother. Hayden, Rebecca and Guilia stood behind them, grinning.
