Journey To the Past [ Romanovs x Reader] 🇺🇸

At the Edge pt. 1

Third Person POV

" No one caught you?" [Y/N] smiled weakly as Mitsuki shook her head. " People around here are very nice... They gave us this once again." She held up the fresh food.
" If Gleb finds out, we're going to be in trouble...
" He's out to somewhere... Don't worry [Y/N]. Eat..." Mrs Takagawa came up to [Y/N] and put her one arm under young woman's back with the other hand she was detaching small pieces of bread as she put it into her mouth... It was the end of December, 1927... Poor [Y/N] was at the edge of her strength, but in some unexplainable way, the pregnancy seemed to be completely fine... And it was coming to the end. Mitsuki supposed that the child will be born for around 2 weeks... The midwife somehow managed to convince Gleb that [Y/N] has a cancer of stomach and that's why her belly is growing. The fact that he BELIEVED, made her sure that he's mentally Ill....

Suddenly, the door to the basement opened and some old man thrown inside." And don't even think about telling anyone where they are!" Gleb's voice screamed and the door shut again. " Sorry..." The old man uttered. " I wanted to go to St Petersburg and tell where he's holding you, but he found out and gone mad..."
" You knew that he kidnapped us...?" Mitsuki was confused since she never saw that old man before. " Who exactly are you, sir?"
I've moved to the village a few months ago, my daughters and son don't want to have anything to do with me..."
In that moment [Y/N] cut in. " That's right! I don't want to have anything to do with you! Neither is Yana or Siergiey! Ow..." She winced as a sharp pain appeared in her stomach
" First, [Y/N] calm down, think of the baby. The japanese woman lectured her. " Second. " Can someone explain what is going on?"
" I'm Andriey. [Y/N]'s father...." The man sighed heavily.
" No you're not!" She protested. " You abused us for 2 years then, literally sold us for 100 rubles and deserted us! That's not how fathers are acting!" She protested and tried to sit up, but apparently she was too weak. What Mrs Takagawa didn't understand was, how was it possible for the baby to be fine while the mother is in such terrible condition?! It really must have been some sort of a medical miracle! But better not to tempt the fate. " [Y/N], calm down!"
" [Y/N/n], please..."
" Don't call me that, you drunken fool!" She glared at him. " You've destroyed my childhood! Thanks to you, I had nightmares every goddamn night!"
" I... I'm sorry..."
" He's sorry!" [Y/N] laughed sarcastically." Hallelujah! Andriey Ipolitov apologized, everyone! A national goddamn holiday!"
" You're cruel to him..." Mitsuki said softly.
" So was he for me! I was 5, Mitsuki! He was like this, because...! I don't even know why! What did I do...?!" Tears streamed down her face as she looked at them both. " What the hell did I do?! Why can't my life just be normal and every time I'm happy someone always has to destroy it?! Why is it always getting fucked up?!" She broke down into tears. " If it wasn't for the baby, I wouldn't have any motivation to live! I swear... I...I don't want to be alive longer than it's necessary! Give me rest!"
" You don't mean it, [Y/N]..." Andriey shook his head.
" I do! I'm tired!"
"  You have a husband!"
"  I can't be with him anymore! I'm a slut!"
" I forbid you to speak like that!" Mitsuki shouted. "What gives you such ideas?!"
" You know what Gleb was doing!" [Y/N] cried and Andriey's eyes wided.
" Have he raped you?!
" Yes!" The Japanese woman shook her head. " [Y/N], I know that you feel like he did, but technically he did not..."
"  It doesn't matter! He hurt her, I'll kill him!" Andriey promised.
" Believe me, I could even help you with that...." Mrs Takagawa admitted. " But we can't, yet... We have to focus on [Y/N]... "She lowered her voice. " She's very weak...And the child can be born any day, even though it should for 2 weeks or so..." She looked at [Y/N] who once again lost her consciousness, due to exhaustion...
" But the birth takes a lot of strength, doesn't it...? And she's weak..." The man said quietly. Mitsuki nodded with a sigh. " That's what I'm worried about... There's possibility, she may not survive the birth, but also, she may be too weak to push out the child.."
" You mean that... They both can die...?"
" I'm sorry..."
It's OK..." [Y/N]'s quiet voice chained in. " I'll do my best, but please... " She grabbed Mitsuki's hand. " Save my baby... And tell Alexei that I love him and Peter..."
" It's your husband and son, yes...?" The woman tried to control her voice that was trembling from holding back tears. " You... will tell them yourself... When we're out of here..."
" I won't survive this..."
" Don't talk like that!" Andriey cut in. " You'll be fine!" But she shook her head.
