Promesha's PoV

*Two months later*

It's been two weeks since Miko and Alex have been on the hospital. Alex has finally started moving around but they have to keep Miko on an oxygen machine which is breathing for her, hence keeping the baby Alive.

She got a terrible head concussion that landed her in a coma, the doctors say that she is alive and hearing us but unable to respond. Her brain is swollen and needs time to heal and hopefully will release her from the coma.

I was getting ready for my doctor's appointment when my phone began to ring.

"Hey baby I'm almost ready just putting some clothes on, where are you?" I inquired.

I'm about 15 minutes away, should I call the Obstetrician and let her know we'll be about 10 minutes late because our appointment is set for 9:30 and it's now 9:25?" He asked.

"Yes, please do I had taken some extra time to make a prayer for Alex and Kimiko hence why I'm running late." He said okay and ended the call.

Within 20 minutes we were on our way to the doctor's. Myles was giving me the daily update on Miko's progress. She was doing much better, the swelling was going down and the baby was growing healthy. The poor thing must feel so lonely, normally I would talk to my baby and remind it how special and loved it was.

I would also talk to the baby for her just to let him/her know that their mother is strong and is fighting for them both. The doctors keep reminding us that talking to them both helps Miko to fight to get better, subsequently recovering from the coma.

When we got to the Obstetrician she did her regular checks for my blood pressure and the baby's heartbeat. When she was doing the ultrasound she was there longer than usual which kind of raised suspicion.

"Mesha, Myles I-Aum can you give me a minute please I am going to check on this frame here on the monitor." She pointed and smiled, then left the room.

The way she sounded made me start worrying. I turned to look at Myles and he saw the worry in my eyes so he placed his arms around me reassuringly.

" Mesha it's going to be okay, there's nothing wrong with the baby okay just remain calm." He said while holding my hands.

Dr. Montgomery came back and she had a suspicious smile on her face.

"Okay so you guys I have some very interesting news, so I know you guys were expecting one healthy baby, however there is another miracle hiding behind the current one. This is not a regular thing but not uncommon."

There was a dead pan silence in the room as we both gather our thoughts regarding the bomb that Dr. Montgomery just dropped. 

Two babies?! Two royal blood children growing inside of me? I couldn't wrap my head around how we never saw this other baby before and why is it already displaying sneaking characteristics like me. 

I mean I will admit it I am a fire starter at times, I smiled at the thought. The blank expression on Myles' face is not any answers as to how he is actually feeling. I can't help but wonder if he wants the other baby or will this, will us be too much?

Myles' PoV

Two babies? Oh my God, I am so ecstatic but my face refuse to show the excitement my mind is giving off.  

"You said two babies!? TWO!!?" Words spewed out my mouth like a roaring volcano. The smile that graced my face was one in a million, I was going to be a daddy of two. Promesha has given me some gifts that I would never dreamed of getting and I was immensely grateful.

" Yes Myles, two babies." The doctor replied with a huge smile.

I hugged her and thanked her for the great news, then I made my way towards the love of my life and the mother of my children. Wow, 'children' can you imagine that. 

"Mesha, I just want to say thank you, thank you for loving me and caring for me. Thank you for being the mother of our children I could not ask the universe for a better woman to bring my offspring and the extension of the royal bloodline." I kissed her passionately not caring that the doctor was standing right now. 

 After several more checks to ensure both babies were okay we left the office. I called my mom and dad immediately after and told them the great news. They were both over joyed, my mother started doubling up on all the already massive baby items she had in  her online shopping accounts.

We headed to the hospital after the visit to check on Alex and Miko, Mesh stayed with Miko and I went to Alex's room. When I got there I didn't see him, I went to ask a nurse where he could have been before I raised any alarms. 

However no one was around, this was very stranger because I am 100% certain there was a nurse at the front desk when I came in. I walked further down the hallway to see if there was someone I could speak with but with no luck. 

At this point was worried, it's either I died and this is hell or I have officially lost my fucking mind. The latter sounds more feasible to me, I decided to go find Mesha on the ward Kimiko was being held on. Here was just as dead as the other ward, now this is very concerning. 

I then saw a janitor who was mopping a section of the hallway and decided to ask him, where the fuck was everyone at. Hopefully he will tell me something that makes sense. 

"Hey sir, can you tell me what was going on? where is everybody?" The man did not respond he just kept mopping the floor.

"Yo! My guy?!" I said more firmly while tapping him on the shoulder to get his attention. 

He finally responded and I released the breath I was holding and asked him where everyone was. I almost thought I lost my goddam mind, he then said that there was a burst of excitement and all the nurses and doctors on call just went running down the corridor towards a big white door that I was looking at. 

That door was the entrance to the ward that Miko was on, I bolted down the stretch with heart in my throat as the beat of my heart deafened me. 

"Miko?! Mesha?!" I shouted as I turned the corner I almost knocked over someone. Realizing it was Alex I hugged him so tight nearly breaking a bone. 

"Where the hell have you been Alex I came looking for you and you were no where?!" I yelled at him both angry and relieved. 

"My-Myles it's Miko she- she is," he tried to say but I ran off before hearing another word.

"Miko!?"
