The Future Together

Chapter 7

-----Amelia's POV-----

We decided to video call my parents and Abby to inform them. Sophia excused herself to call Grey.

Alex and I were seated beside each other as we called them both through my laptop.

"We heard the news, is everything alright?" Mom asks as soon as she and Dad enter the call.

"Everything is fine" I say as Abby joins with a worried expression.

"Hey, what's up with the emergency call?" Abby asks "I heard you're in the hospital, is it true?"

"That's the reason why we called you... We're expecting our second child" I say as they began to smile and congratulate us as we thank them and we talked for about an hour.

.....One Hour Later....

"We still have one more call, do you want to rest first?" Alex asks

"I'm fine, I can rest later" I say as he nods and we begin the next call. Sophia went back to the palace to help take care of Addie.

Our next call included George and Mary, Maddie and Mark, Margaret, Will and Eleanor, and lastly Matt and Emily.

Jason already knew because Alex told him a few weeks ago so we didn't include him.

George and Mary have been staying at their house given by Edward and Victoria at their wedding.

Will and Eleanor married a few years ago and they are expecting their first child. While Matt and Emily married last year.

The call went on and we told them about the news and they congratulated us. We talked for a few hours before we had to go as Edward was calling.

Alex answered the call as he placed it on speaker and informed Edward.

"Amelia, how are you?" Edward asks

"I'm feeling much better and Dr. Anderson says we could leave by tomorrow"

"That's great news! Adelaide has been asking about you both, and so has the press" he replies "The statement will be released as soon as you both are done informing certain friends and family"

"Actually Father, we're already done and the statement can be released in a few minutes" Alex says

"I shall inform the the team to release it within the hour" Edward says as we talk for a few minutes.

.....A Few Minutes Later.....

The statement was already out and we heard the news spread throughout the kingdom.

While people celebrated the news of another upcoming prince or princess. Alex and I were just silent on the hospital bed, neither one of us saying anything as we watch the news.

"What time are you leaving?" I ask as I continue to watch.

"Leaving? Where am I going?" He asks as he faces me.

"Back to the palace" I reply

"I'm not leaving you here alone"

"Addie hasn't seen you the entire day, last she saw me I was throwing up. I will be fine here. Go to her before she goes to sleep and be back in the morning" I say as he thinks for a moment.

"I will go to the palace before Addie's bedtime and I'll return once she's asleep" he replies as I nod.

We continue to watch until Alex had to leave for the palace if he wanted to get there before Addie is asleep.

-----Alex' POV-----

I walk out of the hospital as cameras are being clicked continously and questions and congratulations are being thrown around.

"Your Royal Highness may we know how Princess Amelia is doing?" One reporter asks.

"She is feeling much better now and is expected to be able to leave soon" I say

"Sir, will Princess Adelaide be visiting her mother?" Another reporter asks

"There are no plans at the moment as we expect to be back soon"

After a few more questions, I get in the car as I head to the palace.

.....A Few Minutes Later.....

I arrive back at the palace as I get down from the car and walk towards Addie's room where I find her with my parents.

She gasps as she notices me before running towards me as she hugs me.

"Is Mommy with you?" She asks as we pull apart and she looks behind me.

"Mommy's still at the hospital but she will be back tomorrow" I say as she sadly nods.

"I wish she could come home now"

"I do too, but the doctor needs to make sure that she's alright before she can go home" I explain as I carry her towards her bed.

"Tomorrow, when you get back from school, Mommy will be here" I say while covering her with the blanket "Grandma and Grandpa will be bringing you to school tomorrow, don't give them a hard time alright?"

"Yes, Daddy" she replies as she hugs one of her stuff toys "Goodnight"

"Goodnight" I say as I place a kiss on her head before turning off the lights and walking out of her room.

I find my parents in Father's office and we talk for an hour before I leave to go back to the hospital.

.....A Few Minutes Later.....

I enter the hospital and walk towards Amelia's room to see her still awake on her phone.

"How is she?" Amelia asks as I take a seat on the chair beside the bed.

"She's fine but she misses you" I reply

"I miss her too" she says

"Don't worry, you will be discharged tomorrow" I say as she smiles.

"When should we tell her?" She asks

"I was thinking we tell her tomorrow, before she finds out from someone else" I say

"I know but isn't it too early? We might put her hopes up and if something happens..."

"Nothing will happen. Besides, the world knows. Addie could have a classmate who found out from his or her parent and tell her" She stays silent for a few seconds before she nods and we stay in comfortable silence.

I was going to say something when I noticed that she had already fallen asleep. I fix her blanket and give her a kiss before walking towards the couch.
