Again one red line.
Queen Leonor stared at the pregnancy test. Disappointed, of course. She waited for a few minutes to see if there would be another red line, but there was none.
"Honey, come on quickly. The media is waiting outside," shouted Umberto, herhusband, The Prince Consort.
"Yes, just a minute." Leonor quickly threw the device away and left the toilet.
"What took you so long?"
"One red line." Leonor couldn't hide her sad face.
"Hey, it's okay. We've only been married five months. There's still plenty of time." said Umberto while hugging his wife.
The media crew was ready to wait for the royal couple outside the Marivent palace. Every summer, the Spanish royal family holds a photo shoot on the island of Mallorca, precisely at the Marivent palace.
Queen Mother Letizia and Princess Sofia were already waiting for them.
"Come on, hurry up, Queen Leonor is taking so long." Sofia grumbled when her sister was late.
"Sorry, Sofia." Leonor answered.
This time the photo shoot was different from previous years even though it still consisted of four people. Now King Felipe VI has passed away and Umberto has officially become part of the kingdom. The mourning period was over but it was undeniable that sadness was still there. Even so, they tried to be professional.

"Honey, I have an idea. How about next week we go to a specialist fertility clinic?" Leonor's words distracted Umberto from the book he was reading that night.
"You're too stressed, honey. We're here for summer vacation. Stress isn't good for fertility either."
"But I feel something is wrong. I don't know if it's just me." Leonor felt confused.
"Okay, we'll do it when we get back to Madrid. Now, let's enjoy our vacation."
"Thank you, husband." Leonor kissed her husband's cheek.
Suddenly Umberto put down the book he was reading. He turned towards Leonor's body and kissed her.
"I will make that one line into two lines, Queen," said Umberto.
"We'll prove it in the test next month." Leonor also welcomed her husband. Their bodies joined together that night.

"Your Majesty,..."
"Just call me Leonor, doctor. We're doctor and patient here." Leonor felt awkward in front of Dr. Rafael Gonzalez, the fertility specialist they had visited upon their arrival in Madrid. Beside her, Umberto held her hand.
