I was in the middle of sleeping when I felt the need move just slightly so I opened up my eyes. I saw What a was running towards the bathroom. I followed her then.

After a few minutes she got up.

"Hey. You okay?" I asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm o.........is it just me or is my stomach a little wider?" I asked.

Then I looked while she was standing sideways near a mirror and her stomach did look a little wider.

"Um.......maybe you've been eating too much?" I suggested.

"I think we're having a kid" I said.

"Really? So I'm gonna be a daddy!" I said excitedly.

"Maybe we should get a test to be sure but I really do think I am" I said.

"Wait a second........I just thought of something. How are our parents gonna react to this...." I said.

"We're so dead" Shara said as I starting sweating just at the thought.

"Well maybe not. We're gonna need a heir to the throne eventually right?" I said trying to cheer her up some.

"Yeah but the chances of that actually working is close to 0%" Shara said.

"I'm not really worried about it though. I'm mainly worried about your parents" I said.

"If it's not too much to ask.......I was wondering....sometimes you speak as if you don't have any while others you do. Why is that?" Shara asked.

"I used to have parents but they died trying to protect me and my older sister from these guys. They were trying to put us in slavery to get this building made....they didn't even take proper care of us but we got through. We built the building for them until one of my friends started a rebellion. I was adopted after that. So when I talk like I don't have any I'm referring to my real parents. When I talk like I do have some I'm referring to my adoptive parents" I explained.

"I.....I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. That's a horrible past. I wish I could make it better for you" Shara said. I

"What about you? What was your last like?" I asked.

"I don't think you want to hear about mine. I get it now. Why you don't always like royalty. They spend their money on things while others are going through slavery and not being treated right" Shara said.

"I always want to know more about you. Besides, your not like everyone else. You actually care about what's going on" I smiled while blushing.

"Well, just a normal princess life" Shara said.

Then we pulled closer each other and kissed. As we did I heard footsteps to where we were. Then Janice walked through the door.

I knew it was her because I felt as though she were trying to put me on fire with a look.

We pulled away from each other then and indeed it was Janice.

"What the hell do you think your doing!" Janice asked me. She was both outraged and looked a little hurt at the same time.

"We kinda supposed to be married soon. Arranged marriages are still a thing" I said.

"I swear if you hurt her then you'll have me to deal with" Janice said.

"I wouldn't worry about that. I'm taking care of her" I said.

"Oh, really. Just like when you took care of me when you turned evil!" She said.
