[ Royal Moments ]

[ Chapter Thirty-Three: Can you hear me screaming?! ]

Age: 21

I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW TIME FLEW, that I was already 8 months pregnant and soon there would be a new baby at the palace. But due to being heavily pregnant, I had the chance of relaxing more but I didn't want a miss a thing from Rupert or Nadia's life. I quickly bathed myself, cleansing my body to get ready for the night. 

I could feel my baby kicking under the feeling of the water pressure making me smile to myself, loving this moment between us. Once I cleaned my self up, I got rid of the dirty water and bathed myself in more water, enjoying the feeling it had on my skin. But I knew that I had to step out so is I shut off the water before planting a foot outside the tub. 

I yelped when I rose my other foot and it hit the inside of the tub instead but that was enough to cause me to tumble onto the floor since I didn't have anything nearby to steady. I yelled in pain when I hit the floor, my stomach taking most of the hit but I couldn't move my body. I stayed still before grunting, slowly rolling to my side to ease the pain but it wasn't working.

My breath wavered as my naked body trembled and I pressed myself further onto the cooling tiles. But I had to think about my baby girl, I had to be strong for her right now. I planted my hands onto the tiles, before an excoriating pain hit me making tears come to my eyes before I lifted my upper body as much as I could. 

"Help," I couldn't help but croak out in a low voice before I curled my hands into fists, screaming out this time, "Help!" 

**ROYAL MOMENTS**

"Queen Rosemarie, she slipped and fell getting out of the shower." A doctor told Dr. Goldstein once she entered the hospital room 

"I can't see past my belly and I underestimated how low my tub is. But I for sure know I injured my foot." I announced to her, at ease that someone in the medical field that I knew was now here with me

"Oh, that's a nasty break." The first doctor whose coat read, 'Dr. Black', said to me with a wince and Jeremiah squeezed my hand from where he stood beside me 

"Ugh!" I winced in pain as I felt Dr. Black press her fingers onto my foot, lifting it slightly and I peeked my head around my belly to see my foot red and swollen

"Do you want any meds for the pain?" Dr. Goldstein asked me in concern and Dr. Black lifted her head to look at her

"Doesn't want any. She wants to tough it out." Dr. Black informed her and her eyes widened before she looked at me in concern 

"Are you sure, Mary? Because I can request the meds right now." Dr. Goldstein and I squeezed Jeremiah's hand 

"I don't want to, cause of the baby. I know you said before that it's alright, but I'll suffer. I'll do anything for my baby." I told Dr. Goldstein and she frowned glancing at the monitor before walking closer to it

"Dr. Goldstein, is she okay? Cause she was kicking like a hurricane in the shower, and I-" I started to voice my concern to Dr. Goldstein and she narrowed her eyes at the screen

"She could be sleeping." Dr. Goldstein suggested to us and Jeremiah lowered his head to press a kiss on my forehead

"She's sleeping. She has to be sleeping." Jeremiah said to me and I nodded my head, needing the reassurance he was giving to us both

"Dr. Black, do I need a cast?" I asked the other female doctor and she turned off the light from the x-ray machine and took off the scan

"Definitely, but first I need to straighten the bones." Dr. Black was beginning to say to us and I nodded my head as she explained more on what was going to happen

"Can you excuse me for just a moment?" Dr. Goldstein asked, taking a step away from the computer and the concern I had for our baby crept back on me as she rushed out of the room without another word

**ROYAL MOMENTS**

Mia was sitting on the edge of the bed with Rupert next to her and Nicholas was on his other side. Jeremiah stood by my side with Nadia in his arms, cradling her tightly to his chest. I couldn't help but laugh along with the story that Rupert was telling me about.

**ROYAL MOMENTS** 

( tw: miscarriage! )

"Dr. Black, please tell me it's gonna stop hurting soon." I pleaded with my doctor as she wrapped my leg with a gauze 

"You're almost done." She told me with a small smile and I nodded my head at her, before Dr. Goldstein entered the room once more 

"Mary, Jeremiah, I need to talk to you," Dr. Goldstein confessed as she walked closer to us, and I nodded my head with a smile before it faded when I noticed the look in her face, "About the baby."

I froze at her words, and Jeremiah stood up from his spot beside me, shaking his head. I knew what she was going to tell me, I could feel it in my bones but I couldn't accept it. My breath wavered before I parted my lips to speak to her. 

"You have to say it." I demanded from her, "You have to say it, I need to hear you say it. I won't believe it unless I hear you."

"You have to say it." Jeremiah demanded in a low voice and Dr. Goldstein nodded her head at our words

I knew what she was saying but it was like if I went deaf because I wasn't hearing her. I burst into tears as Jeremiah tensed himself before he gathered me in his arms, hugging me tightly to him. I could feel Jeremiah's body tremble against me as the news hit him and I cried louder against his chest, wanting to be in denial.
