"How long till she wakes up Doc?" Andros voice boomed.

"Well I'm not to sure, concussions can leave someone in a coma for days, weeks or years" an unknown male voice answered.

Just then I opened my eyes slowly and looked around, I was in a white room.

Heaven?

No.

A hospital?

Yeah probably. The place smelt bad.

"Sophie" Andros whispered coming into sight.

"Doc she is awake" Andros voice screamed with excitement.

"Hello Sophie!" an old man dressed in a white coat said.

"How are you feeling?" he asked quietly.

"I'm- I'm okay?" I asked more as a question. Everywhere was hurting.

"Yes indeed you are, just alot of cuts and bruises but nothing we couldn't fix" he assured me.

"I have some bad news for you though" he began but Andros whispered something in his ears and the doctor just nodded and said he would tell me later and he left.

"How long was I asleep? " I asked nervously.

"Two weeks" he whispered.

Just then a man entered the room with a baby.

My baby.

My heart stopped.

The man looked familiar.

Too familiar.

Marcus.

I heard my heartbeat begin to accelerate fastly on the monitor.

"Sophie, I'm glad your awake" the Marcus person said. I begun to shake and hyperventilate.

"Sophie baby, calm down. This is your brother. He didn't die, he is alive. I'm gonna let him speak to you alone now okay" Andros informed me.

Then he got up from sitting on a chair by my bed side and taking Marcos from the man's hands and left.

For about 5 minutes all we did was stare at each other without any of us making a move to speak first.

Then suddenly he spoke.

"You did it. I always knew you would make me proud. You being Princess and all. Wow. Its amazing" he whispered coming closer to sit on the chair next to me. I just followed his movements with my eyes.

"Look Sophie, I know you don't believe it's me but I got called out to Spain as a secret agent undercover Commander. I couldn't tell anyone I was alive or it would blow my entire mission. For years we have been trying to figure out if Arianna was involved with terrorism. At first it was very hard to do but when I heard she moved into the Palace under the Royal family, I knew I had to stop her. I had heard that you were taking my death very negatively and that you refused to leave your room, so I called the President and told him about my mission and how I thought you would be best for the job to protect the Royal family. He did what he had to do to get you into the Palace as a bodyguard. I couldn't just come out and say "I'm alive" I had to stay hidden for my mission. I even sent Sarah my wife to mom and dad so she would be better off. I know you don't believe me, but it's the truth" he said explaining.

"So you watch me suffer for two years crying in pain for you and you left me" I said harshly.

"It was my job Soph, I had to disappear and the best choice was to say I died. I'm sorry. I never thought you would have reacted like that" he said with tears in his eyes.

"That might have been your job but I am family, Mark" I mumbled not accepting his excuses.

"Well I'm on leave for five years so we can catch up"he assured me.

"Whatever" I muttered.

"Your husband seems really nice" he said changing the topic.

"Yeah he is a charmer. So how do you feel knowing that your plan back fired?" I asked with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" he asked curiously.

"You sent me to do a job and instead I got married and pregnant" I said wiggering my eyebrows.

He laughed.

"Sophie are you happy?" he asked seriously now.

"Yes. Very" I replied looking into his eyes.

"Then that's all that matters. I would rather this than see you die old alone" he whispered squeezing my hand.

I smiled.

Damn.

My brother is alive.

He is here.

Sigh.

I missed him.

Just then we heard a knock on the door and a black haired girl came into the room smiling.

I looked at her face closely.

She was familiar.

"Hi Princess" she greeted happily.

My chest tightened.

Isabella.

"Bella?" I asked.

She laughed quietly to herself.

"No I'm actually Agent Stephanie Hills" she introduced.

"Agent?" I inquired.

"Yes, we needed an undercover agent to get close to the family and to be around Arianna and well with approval from the Queen and King, I came on pretending to be Isabella, a distant cousin" she explained.

I nodded in understanding.

"But the way Marcus and I planned it wasn't the way you apparently planned it. We never planned for you and Andros to fall in love, that was just a bonus. I mean, by you guys doing that we got Arianna to react and she was gonna kill you" Stephanie informed.

"But it worked for the best" she said smiling.

" I thought you were dead. There was no heart beat" I stuttered.

"There is a tablet that you can take that will momentarily stop your heart rate and slow it down to almost a stop. It will knock you out for an hour while you may appear dead but your heart it's beating very slowly. A human wouldn't be able to feel it but machines can" she explained.

"Oh okay. Well yeah so I wish you all the best Princess. I should start calling you Queen" she said as a joke.

What?

"Huh?" I asked

"Stephanie, she doesn't know" Marcus said irritatedly.

"Doesnt know what?" I inquired.

"The king and Queen are dead" Marcus stuttered.

"What"I blanked out.

"She killed them . I'm sorry" Marcus whispered.

"I'm sorry for the lost of your baby as well" Stephanie muttered.

Why would she bring back up My dead baby now?

"Stephanie!! She doesn't know!" Marcus screamed at her.

What?

"What don't I know" I asked confused.

"Sophie I think Andros should tell you" Marcus muttered solemnly.

"No you tell me now!" I demanded.

"You were pregnant" he whispered so quiet I almost didn't hear it.

"What?" I said beginning to shake.

"Yeah three and a half months. With all the stabbing and stuff you had a miscarriage" he said squeezing my hand.

Andros and I had a baby on the way ? And I didn't know?
