Worlds Apart

"When it rains, it pours."- Alan Young

Natalia's Pov

Bright lights force my eyes closed as I tried to view my current location, there was a lot of murmuring and beeping sounds all around. Heels kissed the ground what I assume is tiled as the echo pierced my ears. Where was I? And where was my family? I had the weirdest dream that I came home and Dev-.

"Devon!?" I screamed and kicked trying to pull the wires off me, then who I am pretty sure was a doctor came over and tried to get me to lay back down.

"Listen I need to go home my family needs me, my- my baby brother," I repeated with tears bathing my cheeks. One of the monitors started beeping faster and my body went into shock I was shaking uncontrollably I just wanted to see my family was my last thought.

***Two days later***

My body was sore and I was not able to speak as soon as I tried a sharp pain graced my throat I could only move my eyes and they did their job by releasing more tears. I could hear people speaking around me so I tried to move a limb, I flexed my fingers and someone came over me it was my mom.

"Hey baby I am so happy you are awake you gave us quite a scare for the past couple of days," she said the the faintest smile. Her eyes were swollen and red and I looked like she has not slept in days I really wanted to know what was going on as I was just as confused as I was a couple hours ago.

I pointed to my throat and she nodded and told me she was going to get the doctor to see if he could help because she realized I wanted to speak. A couple minutes later the doctor came by and checked my vitals he began to remove the tubes from my throat and boy did that hurt when the oxygen finally flew in. I let out a heart wrenching cough as my throat was very dry, my mother brought me some water and I gulped it down as if it was my first time drinking water. 

"Mo-moma," I tried to talk but she gave me a pen and paper and told me to write instead. I asked her where my brother and my grandmother was and what happened and why was I in the hospital. There was a lot of questions on that paper but she answered them regardless as she knew I deserved the answers. 

Two of my favorite persons on this annoying earth was taken away from me by gun violence, something that is has plagued our small island for years. I cried hard at the news that I will never see or hear from them again, I went through several emotions all at once. 

The doctor came back in and what he said next further increased my blood pressure, "Miss Mayor I just want to inform you that the baby was in some distress due to your elevated blood pressure but we were able to get it stable for now. I just ask that you take it easy for the sake of you and your unborn." I looked at him as if I had seen a ghost, I was actually pregnant I had suspected it and that was what I was going to tell Archie until he... well it doesn't matter now I guess. 

"By the look on your face I can tell you were not aware of the pregnancy, you need not to worry it is still early as you are just 8 weeks so there are options you can consider if it is a case you do not want to bring the pregnancy to full term." This man must be crazy I mean I was not expecting it especially with someone that may never know the baby but I had suspected it and wanted to do the test while Archie was there. 

What am I going to do now raise a whole human by myself when I am just 20 years old? Then  again this baby is of royal blood and they may want to take it from me so I won't tell him I will just do it by myself. I also have my mother who I know will support me but she will want to know who the papi is, sighs this is just too much how can I not stress?!

"I am going through with it doctor, I had suspected I was but never confirmed it." My mother's face held 21 questions I am sure of it but I will address all of them when I have a clear mind. Right now I need to get out of here and see my-my brother, my baby brother and my grandmother. 

Tears streamed my face as I remember that they are not here anymore, God what kind of sick game are you playing with my emotions. I get knocked up and dumped then my family gets torn apart due to gun violence, I wanted to run away far away from all this I don't think I can manage. 

After some more updates the doctor told me I would be able to leave tomorrow after they make another day of observation. I was happy for this because I needed time to process the last couple of days my mother had her head in her hands while shaking her legs and I know she is going through as much hell as I am.

Archie's Pov

I have been calling Talia's number for the past two days and she has not been answering, this made me go in worry mode either she is ignoring me or something bad had happened and I pray it is the former because the latter will cause me to do crazy things.  I tried calling her again and this time someone answered but it was not my Talia.

"Hello who is this?" the voice questioned but I remain silent for another 10 seconds to try and figure out how to introduce myself.

"This is Archie is Talia I mean Natalia Mayor close by?" I said trying to be as formal as I can when all I wanted to do was lose my shit.

"She is resting at the moment you said your name was Archie? Can I take a message for her?" she sounds annoyed but also sad at the mention of Natalia resting. 

"Aum yes please tell her that Archie called and wanted to know if she had gotten home safely and tell her to call me as soon as she is up please, thank you." I said along with a good bye. 

I guess she is ignoring me if she gave someone else the phone to answer or is it that I had hurt her so badly by choosing to be King that she is just taking some time to herself. So many unanswered questions and my overthinking mind is not helping me. 

In due time I will find a way to be by her side regardless of this planned marriage. After all she is my one true love and nothing can keep me from her not even death. 

STAY TUNED...
