TW: little bit heavy discussion about pregnancy at the beginning - shay 🍄

Another month has now gone by without me knowing if Clarke is even still alive. The guards are still out searching for her, but the only thing they have found is a ripped peace of a jacket that we're not even sure belongs to her.

I've been feeling sick with worry ever since I found out she was gone. Every morning I've been throwing up into tualete (toilet) which I think is not just because of my worry for Clarke.

Nyko and his wife told me for symptoms to look out for incase I really am pregnant. One of which is what they called morning sickness. I was trying to push this all to the back of my mind and focus on getting Clarke back. But this morning when I woke up and went for a bath, I noticed my slightly swollen stomach.

I knew I should go back to Hilda and Nyko and tell them I've been throwing up and my stomachs swollen, but I can't. I don't know why I feel ashamed and embarrassed considering this wasn't my fault, but I do.

The moment I saw my swollen stomach I cried. I cried for the child I once was, I cried for my parents, I cried for Clarke, and most of all, I cried for me and my baby that I was pretty sure is growing inside me.

I got out of the bath, dried my body and wiped my face clear of the dried tears. I feel so alone right now and I don't know what to do. I then got dressed, putting on baggy clothes and a loose fitting coat since it was getting colder and I need to hide my small belly bulge, even though it wasn't that noticeable. I made sure to still style my outfit as I am the princess and wouldn't want anyone asking questions, I couldn't risk that, not until I'm ready to explain.

With a heavy heart, Eden left her room and made her way towards one of her favourite spots of polis, the lake. Water had always held a special place in her heart as it reminded her of her mother and the times she spent with her.

Today however Eden missed and needed her mum more than ever so she decided to walk to the lake to feel a connection with her mother as her mother always loved water. The path to the lake was familiar by now with the amount of times Edenia has walked to it.

As she walked she felt the weight of each step and the gentle breeze like a whisper of her mother's words calming her down like a subtle reminder she wasn't alone.

As the princess reached the edge of the lake a sense of calm washed over her, the tranquil water mirrored the sky above creating a serene and peaceful scene. She sat down by the shore letting her fingers brush against the cool surface of the water making her feel at ease.
