The Queen's Baby (our little princess)

chapter 15

Vivian Pov

Staying away from her is a lot harder than I imagined, I know she's safe with the guards and nothing bad will ever happen to her while she's in the castle

But there's just this nagging feeling in my chest, just wanting her close to me, holding her and cuddling her for as long as possible

It's not just me Gloria is no better, she's been distracted and a little cold towards anyone who isn't me

It made both of us feel a little better after we saw her on FaceTime, that she was okay and listening to what we said to her even when she didn't particularly want to

"Relax babe, we can call her again after we're done with this part, she should be finishing up lunch" I whispered to Gloria, who's eyes turned cold 10 minutes ago

I grabbed her hand softly, putting my attention back on the shop owner who was speaking from the podium

"I miss her so bad" I heard Gloria whisper softly, squeezing my hand gently, her eyes still trained forward

"Me too love, me too" I mumbled back just as soft, silently hoping the guy would hurry up and let us go, he's been saying the same sentence for the last 10 minutes

We both got up as soon as the speech was over, walking to our car in the proper manner, which took us 10 minutes

I pulled out my phone, pressing the face time button, Gloria leaned closer her head resting on my shoulder, still being able to look at the screen

"Vivi?" Bella's soft voice came, her phone was set on the bed most probably perched on one of the food lids, there was a tray full of food in front of her and a small plate in her hand

"Did we catch you at a bad time bugy? You were having lunch?" Gloria asked softly moving to sit up and staring at my phone

"Nuh huh, it's okay, was finished" She replied, giving us a small smile and setting the small plate away

I looked at the back wall and instead of being in her own room like we had expected her to be, she was in our room it made me chuckle softly

"Is our bed that comfy little one?" Gloria asked in a teasing tone, making bella turn red and shake her head

"Smells like you bo'th" She whispered and moved away a little picking up the tray with slight difficulty, making my eyes bulge out for a moment

"That's dangerous" I mumbled to Gloria who nodded in agreement "sorry, the tray took up too much space" She said sitting back down

"Don't ever do that again, it's way to heavy for you to carry honey, we don't want you getting hurt" I explained to bella in a stern voice

Her eyes widened slightly but she nodded nevertheless, her eyes glossing over a bit but she didn't say anything

"Call one of the guards or maids next time please little one" Gloria added softly, making her nod again

She went all quiet, tugging at a lone thread from her jeans and looking up every couple of seconds

"We're not mad darling, I know today's not been too fun has it?" I asked softly, using my caregiver tone as Gloria prefers to call me

"How about you change into something comfy and lay down baby? We can stay for another 15 minutes approximately" Gloria said, she looked tired and a nap would definitely make her feel better

"My clothes?" She asked in a whisper, finally making eye contact with us "go to the closet, my clothes are on the left side, and shorts should be on the second drawer" Gloria explained softly with a smile
