Forever and Always

Chapter 1

The Queen:

I quickly tapped the heel of my shoe against the marble floor as I waited for the doctor to tell me my result. Not only was I required to produce heirs to the throne, I want a family of my own. I love Clarkson with all my heart and he is family, but I want kids. I want to hear the wonderful squealing of my kids running around the palace and playing tag, or the joy of pulling their blankets up to their shoulders putting them in bed. The doctor came through the door, and I say straight up in my seat, waiting to hear the news. Dr. Ashlar frowned. "I'm so sorry this happened my queen, but it's a miscarriage." I felt Clarkson's strong arms immediately go around me. The tears started to slowly spill over my eyelids. Dr. Ashlar walks out of the room, leaving Clarkson and me alone. I started to let out small sobs. I felt Clarkson's thumb rubbing up and down on my back. "Ssshhhh it's going to be okay I promise." I look at him. His steady eyes comfort me a little bit but I still can't help the doubt in my mind. " How do you know? How do you know it's all going to be alright? We need a heir to the throne and obviously I can't make that happen!" I started to cry again. Clarkson decided to stay quiet after that after a couple minutes, which felt like hours, he finally said something else. "We will have a family Amberly. I will make sure of it, even if it's the last thing I do." I managed to let out a little smile as I looked up at him. He kissed me, it wasn't a very long kiss, but it told me everything. It told me everything was going to be right, no matter what happens. When he pulled back, we just sat there smiling at each other. He stood up and reached his hand out to me. "Shall we go my lady?" I smiled and let out a small giggle. "We shall." And with that, me and my knight and shining armor walked out of the doctor's office.
