The Additions

Chapter 7

Maxons POV

Today we are leaving from our honeymoon, I'm really sad. But it's my duty as king to go back illea. America walks up to me and gives me a hug before laying her head on my chest. We never ended up going to the beach or anywhere out in public after Valentine's Day.

Flashback to Valentine's Day

We're walking through the streets, Hawaii is so pretty. Then someone comes up and stops us. "Hello,king Maxon." The stranger asks, " is everything ok? I saw the paper." What's in the paper?

"Excuse me sir? Would you perhaps have a copy of the paper?" I ask

"Yes I do sir."

"May I see it?"  He hands the paper to me. There's a picture of America and I with our heads low walking out of the doctors office. I totally forgot they were there! America looks over my shoulder and gives me a concerned look. A guard comes over to ask if we are ok. We both reply yes, we are just ready to go.

"Thank you kind sir, I hand him a hundred. Please help your family." His face is shocked as I hand him the bill. He quickly bows before rushing off back to his business. We get to the car and we both sit there in silence.

Today we'll have to come clean on the report, but before we do that we have to talk to Aspen. He deserves to find out in a personal way, not on the report.

"Maxon, I'm nervous, what if people take it the wrong way?" She whispers in my ear.

"Well my dear we are at the airport, so put on a brave face to give the people some hope. Then you have the whole 8 hour plane ride to talk to me about it and really soak it in."

"Maxon don't call me your dear." And because of that we both walk out of the car shining brightly while holding hands. We get on the plane, and take our seats. America squeezes my hand tight. I know it's for 2 reasons, she doesn't like flying, and she's nervous for the report.

"America dear, you should take a nap. Then I will go tell aspen about your nightmares."

"No Maxon I should go too."

"No I am his friend, I think it'll be easier for him to take it from me. And I don't want to add stress to you."

"Thank you Maxon." She gives me a quick kiss and squeezes my hand before leaning up against the window go to sleep.

I walk over to where aspen is posted. "Hey aspen would you mind coming with me to a private room on the plane?"

"May I ask why your majesty?"

"I need to tell you something, but I don't want you to find out through the report."

"Alright Maxon, lead the way." I lead him to a room in the back of the plane so we can talk.  "So what is it you need to tell me?"

" Well the last few nights America has been having nightmares. And we went to a doctor to get them interpreted. And we didn't get a good one back."

"I'm sorry, but why must this be addressed on the report?"

"Because on our way out of the doctors office, we're guessing someone alerted the press. And they took pictures of us holding hands with our heads down low and tears running down our cheeks. So we decided we need to be honest with the country."

"I think that's a very wise decision my king."

"Aspen you dint have to use formalities, your my friend, and my guard." We go in for a hug. "Now what I really needed to tell you. Aspen, America's nightmares were that she was married to you, and had your child, and was pregnant with your second." His jaw dropped. I put my hand on my forehead.

"Maxon, let me assure you I have no romantic feelings towards America. I love Lucy. And I feel like america is a sister to me."

"Well that's very reassuring, thank you for that. But it doesn't end there." Aspen got a surprised look on his face. "We went to the doctor, and she told us that America's mind was-" I start to sniffle and I feel a tear drip down my face. Aspen hugs me to comfort me. " she was imagining a situation, in which my father and I passed during the rebel attack. And America and my mom lived. And then-" I suck in a deep breath, "she married you and you ruled the kingdom." Aspens jaw dropped again. And it was just too much I started to bawl my eyes out again. Aspen comforted me by giving me a friendly side hug. I feel someone sit next to me, it's America. "How much did you see?"

"Enough to see that you two have became close." She comforted me with a hug. And then Lucy came in to comfort aspen. We caught her up and she came to hug America. And say that there were no hard feelings. We can't control things like dreams. And before we knew it, we landed back in illea and it was time for the report.
