Rise of a Kaiser

Chapter 63 - Kaiserlichenacht

"There is no sentence. No. There is no word, in any language, to describe what is happening here." Kaiser Wilhelm remarked, as he held her wife's hand. Now the Kaiser may be exaggerating but I will strive to do my best. 

Now they were in the hospital once again, as Feida had just given birth to their third daughter. Now you would think that fact that the baby was delivered quickly was good for the empress, and it was. Except the doctor and the midwife did not expect the baby to litterly fly ouy with little bat wings and continue to fly around the room. Wilhelm had quickly shut the window to prevent the baby from flying out of the window.

Currently, Freida was looking shocked while clutching her husbands hand, her hair draped on the pillow behind her. The scene that was occuring infront of them, consisted of the maids Helmine and Ofilla jumping up and down while running after the baby, trying and failing to catch her. The doctor quickly left to fetch a fishing net while the midwife escorted Erica and Viktoria out of the room, but not before immediatly diagnosing the baby with vampirism as there was no other explanation. After all her two fangs and blood red eyes were a dead giveaway. 

"Dear, neither of us are vampires." Wilhelm remarked as he looked at his wife on the hospital bed. "So why is our child crawling on the ceiling?" Freida looked up to see the Doctor and Ofilla attempt to use the fishing net to scrape the baby of the ceiling. 

"I suspect my ancestors may have something to do with it." Freida sighed, Wilhelm turned his head in curiosity. "My great-great-gandfather married a vampire, and thus the odd vampire appeared in our family, my cousin is one. Although it is quite rare to inherit due to numerous amounts of children my ancestor had and the amount of humans they intermixed with."

"Do you think that could explain your physique and strength, my love?" Wilhelm asked.

"It is possible, though I assure you Wilhelm, I exercise and train regularly as you well know." Wilhelm nodded in acceptance. "Although it could explain why it is easier for me, than others."

"Perhaps." The doctor had finally caught the girl in his net, her strands of white heir, and he presented her to Freida who cradled her in her arms. "What are you going to name her Frieda?" Wilhelm asked. 

"I don't know dear, do you have any ideas." Freida asked, smiling up at her husband who then grinned.

"How about... Alfreda?" Wilhelm said with a smile. Freida chuckled, remarking 'wouldn't that be a bit arrogant?' "Nonesense," Wilhelm replied, "it's such a lovely name. Who else deserves it apart from by wife and youngest daughter?" 

"Youngest?" Freida remarked. "Do you not wish for any more children, a son perhaps?" 

"It's not necessary. Who says a Kaiserin isn't what Germany needs?" Wilhelm responded. "You've done such a remarkable job my love, I wouldn't want to put you through any more pain. "Freida smiled at the baby, happy both for her new daughter and the concern of her husband. Serina, just having listened to the words of a guard, stated to the couple that the motorcade had arrived to collect them. When they returned to the palace, the family walked through the doors past the usual photographers and journalists, then past the squads of maids, footmen and guards. When the doors were closed Alfreda immediatly flew with a chuckle from Wilhelm's grasp. "Come back here I tell you!" Wilhelm immediately went after her, his white greatcoat trailing behind him along with Helmine, Ofilla, Head Maid Mary (recently returned after a holiday with Aires) and several other maids and footmen. 

Freida sighed greatly, and took Viktoria and Erica to the nursery. As she sat and talked to her children while they played, Freida saddened when once in a while as she saw a little alfreda floating past the open door in the adjacent corridor, shortly followed by Wilhelm and several guards and staff.
