- Let's make a toast

- Let's make a toast... to our success!!! Bella said as she raised a glass of wine, I looked at her for a moment and smiled, our success indeed. Things had been going smoother than I thought, I had signed my divorce and thanks to Simon's stupidity I was no free, apparently he had requested the divorce and had already signed it, leaving me as the only obstacle to his freedom... well, at least I was, now I was waiting a baby and was enjoying my life back in the Kingstar residence, Bella and my mother had both been very helpfull, as for Elena... she was currently packing her things ready to leave after being completely humiliated by my mother, she had been so cold and cruel, for a moment I wondered if I was dealing with a demon instead of a human being.

- Well, I might not be able to drink due to pregnancy but I must agree, this really deserves a toast, I said as I raised a glass of sour cherry juice. They looked similar and due to my mother's intense instinct I was forbidden to eat, drink and do things that could cause any kind of health problem to the baby. I was fine with it, though the fact that I wasn't allowed to go outside was a bit annoying.

- So... how do you plan to name the baby? Daniel asked and looked at my stomach.

- If it's a girl, Crystal and if it's a boy, Alexander or Alex for short. I replied and for some reason they didn't seem suprised at all.

- I was expecting you to come up with these names. Kai said with small sigh.

- What's so bad about the names?

- Nothing really, it's just that you tend to give everything a tone of elegance and nobility... even when honestly, that's impossible. Daniel said and I looked at them blankly.

- I want my baby to have a special name, I want it to feel as special as possible, especially if you think what he'll discover when he learns about his father and me. I said and everyone turned stiff.

- True... that's going to be heavy. Bella agreed and Daniel looked at me curious.

- So what do you plan to do after you give birth?

- What do you mean? I don't think I understand you...

- He's asking if you'll consider a second marriage. Kai asked and now I was the one who became stiff, where did this come from, all of a sudden going to something so deep.

- I don't know, honestly... I can't risk it... not when so many things are at stake.

- Like what? Bella asked and I looked down.

- For starters, this child is bound to have a harsh life, being a Kingstar and considering all that happened that led us all here... I know it'll be hard for her or him and then there's me... I don't think I'll be ready any time soon to start a new love chapter... 

- I see... thanks for being honest, Regina. It means a lot. Daniel said with a sincere smile.

- It means a lot more to me Daniel. To finally discover the missing piece that made me a whole...

- A whole?

- Yes, I always believed that I had seperated myself into three different personalities... the Kingstar heir, a cold and calculating woman, the little girl inside me who held no title and had no worries or responsibilites to respond to and then there was the empty me, a person who knew no emotions and was confused, a broken doll... or something similar to that...

- Regina.... I never knew you had thoughts like these. Bella said and I smiled sadly.

- I never thought about things like that before, it happened a while before I married Simon... you could say... I woke up from this nightmare I created on my own. 

- Anyway, let's not get moody, we defeated Simon and the brat and now we have to celebrate. Bella said as she looked around with a wide grin. 

- Alright then, let's party!!! Kai shouted excited.

FIVE MONTHS LATER...

I was sitting on my bed staring at the ceiling exhausted, for the past few months I was staying locked up in the house doing a variety of things that involved the baby, hobbies and had a few visitors from school. Most of them were people who supposedly speaking admired me and wanted to be like me, in truth they were just searching for gossip, I gave them information only about that but turned everything upside down, for example I didn't mention Elena or the secrets of my family, basically I told them that it was a marriage based on family heirloom and that my husband and I broke up after I saw he wasn't beneficial or even caring. Then they went deeper into more provate matters to which I refused to answer and used all of my acting skills to make sure I wouldn't show how disgusted I felt and in the end I made them leave with the excuse that I had to get ready for a meeting with my doctor... I swear it was harder than I imagined, people can be so annoying when they wish for it. I smiled once I felt something moving... I guess I was the only one who felt exhausted. 

- I swear, you're going to be a problem once you come out... good thing I can provide you with enough things to live... maybe one day though I'll be able to give you what I can't give you now. A father and a complete family. I whispered as I rubbed my stomach and slowly closed my eyes, everything around me gradually faded before I realised it I was asleep with a large smile on my face.
