WARNING MATURE THEMES 

I arched my back upwards, as I ran my hands through his hair, pulling him closer to me as he ran his hands up and down my bare thighs. As Arthur removed his lips from mine, our heavy breath mingled together as his trailed his lips down my neck where they rested on my shoulder blade. 

Arthur's torso was pressed against my own as I let out a breathy moan. His lips moved up from my shoulders to the nape of my neck, to under my ear lobe, to the corners of my mouth and finally to my lips. 

"Your so beautiful." Arthur whispered against my lips and I smiled gently sucking his bottom lip in-between mine.

"Your only saying that because I'm naked." I teased gently nibbling on his lip causing Arthur to groan deeply in the back of his throat. He hummed in reply as I gazed my fingers down his back, desperately trying to pull him closer to me as I felt his hips grind against my own. Arthur removed his lips from mine to look down at me as whispered gently the pad of his thumb tracing across my bottom lip. 

"God I love you."

For weeks now I had thrown up into the chamber pot every morning. I was constantly feeling dizzy and I went from happy to sad to angry to hungry at least sixty times a day. All the signs lead up to the same thing, I just didn't want to believe it. 

"Your pregnant." Gauls' voice was solemn as I thrust my head into my hands. This cannot be happening. 

A servant girl pregnant with the Prince's baby.  This is a story likely to go down in history. 

"You don't seem to happy about this." Gauis noted and I nodded my head lifting it up from my hands. 

"How can I look after a child when I can barely look after myself?" My fear was evident in my voice, as I looked up at Gauis. He sat himself down opposite me, holding his hands in his lap, as he leant forward. 

"Come now Y/n, you not one to give up easily." He was smiling softly at me, his wrinkles furrowing as he did so. "Surely the father will be able to help." 

"He would want to, but I'm not so sure that he can." I carefully worded, not wanting to give away the fact that I am currently involved in a secret relationship with the Prince. "Come to think of it I'm not even sure he should know." 

"If you want my advice-" 

"You know I always welcome it." He smiled at my comment before continuing onwards. 

"The father always deserves the right to know. If they wanna be a part of the child's life then it is up to them, but at least but telling them they then would get the choice." 

A thousand and one thoughts were scurrying around my head as I made the daunting journey up to Arthur's chambers. 

What if he wanted no part in the baby's life? What if he did? What if he wanted m to get rid of it? What if he didn't? Would we be good parents? What if we are not? Are we ready? Does he want this? Does he want me? 

Shaking my head at my thoughts I opened the door to Arthur's chambers without knocking. I should have known better than to go barging into his room, for he could be doing a number of things but never would I have thought I would find him with another women. 

She was half naked, her skirt hitched up to breasts, as Arthur kissed his way up her legs. She was moaning loudly as Arthur continued his movements, his hands rubbing her bare skin. He was shirtless, back scratches covering it, her hands running up and down his bare skin. 

The sight made me feel nauseous, more so than I already did, but it also made my heart break and my eyes fill with tears. 

"You son of a bitch." The words had left my mouth before I could stop them, causing them to break away panting. Arthur's horny gaze rapidly disappeared as his eyes landed on me standing in the doorway. He pushed himself off the women, quickly putting on a shirt, as the women sat up her skirt now covering herself. 

"How dare you talk to royalty like that?" Her voice was like dripping venom as I forced down a shiver. Ignoring her I kept my eyes on Arthur, my jaw locked and my hands crossed over my chest. 

"Be quiet Emerald." He snapped as my eyes widened. 

"The visiting princess?" I questioned, my voice filled with anger to disguise my aching heart. "How classy of you Arthur." 

"Leave us." 

The princess bitch went to kiss Arthur again once she had climbed off his bed but he pushed her off. I smiled smugly at her as she left the room, sneering at me. 

"I can explain everything-" Arthur started, the fear and regret obvious in his expression. 

"Oh can you?" I sighed, faking relief. "Because I was so confused." I removed my airhead voice, uncrossing my arms as Arthur ran a hand through his crumpled hair. "How long has this been going on?"

"A couple of weeks." His reply hit me hard. I hoped that this was the first time. I let no emotions show, keeping a completely deadpan voice. and expression. "You haven't been feeling well these past couple of weeks so I was trying to get somewhere with someone else so I didn't make you feel worse."

"So thoughtful aren't you," I sneered angrily. Arthur looked pained but at this moment I didn't care, he brought this pain on himself. "You cheated on me to make sure I didn't feel worse. Mission accomplished truly Arthur well done." 

"I'm sorr-" I cut Arthur off once again, stepping forward until I was standing directly in front of him. 

"You know the reason we haven't been having sex?" Restraining myself from shouting I had to speak through my teeth. "Because I am pregnant." 

Arthur sat down, his hands in his hair and his head hung downwards in shame. 

"Oh my god I've messed everything up." 

"You are right, you have." I pulled out the chair opposite him before placing myself on it. "But we are going to talk about this." 

"How far along are you?" Arthur lifted his head slightly, not high enough for him to look directly at me but high enough for me to see the tears burning in his glistening eyes. 

"Gauls reckons almost two months." 

Arthur lifted his head fully, slowly meeting my eyes. 

"If i can talk my father into agreeing we can get married before anyone realises your pregnant and this baby could be legitimised." 

"Maybe before," I started, physically feeling the anger trickling out my body. "But not now. I am not going to let you into my heart again." 

"But the baby-"

"Is yours too." I finished for him, standing whilst preparing myself to leave his quarters. "But as of five minutes ago I am no longer yours."

Gulping I went to walk away, before my hands found the chain around my neck. Pulling it off I placed it on the table not looking Arthur in the eye. As I walked away I watched him go to pick up the necklace, his fingers running over the pendant inscribed with "forever and always". 

So much for that.
