Pure

Part 14

Recap:

"Yes, I'm fine. I'll be out in just a minute." I didn't want her telling Ashton. In fact, I didn't want any of the maids telling him because he would freak out and get the doctor to see if I had the plague, but I knew I didn't have it because I didn't have any of the symptoms besides throwing up. This had been going on for a couple of days now and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.

"Your Highness, the king is on his way with the doctor." Oh shit. Suddenly I'm filled with anger for the maid. How dare she tell Ashton. This my private business, I don't need her going around telling people that I'm sick, when I'm not. She shouldn't have even said anything.

During my silent rant the door bursts open and Ashton walks in and gets on the ground because right now I am just sitting down. He starts stroking my cheek. "You look pale love? Doc, come in here." Ashton helps walk me to the bed because I'm too dizzy to walk by myself.

The doctor comes in and stares at me for a little especially at my boobs; I'm starting to regret the dress. Ashton growls, "Stop staring and tell me what's wrong with my WIFE!" Technically I'm not his yet, but I didn't want to make Ashton more angry by saying that.

The doctor immediately starts checking my temperature and seeing if I have any black spots on me to make sure I don't have the plague. Meanwhile, Ashton sitting next me worried as can be and I just keep rolling my eyes. Why did any of this have to happen? The doctor then gets out his stethoscope and gets to my stomach. He makes a confused then shocked face. He turns to me and Ashton with a smile on his face.

"Your majesties, I hear a heartbeat."

That's when I see everything go dark.

When I wake up I'm in mine and Ashton's bedroom. I can't seem to remember anything though. What happened? Then all of the sudden the memories start coming back. The heartbeat. I-I'm pregnant. I can't do this. I can't be pregnant. What if I turn out like my mom. What if I'm a bad mom. I can't have this baby; not with Issac wanting to destroy this kingdom. I can't protect this baby as much as I want to. "What's wrong love? You're pregnant this should be a joyous occasion." Ashton walks into the room with a worried look.

I start to cry. Why am I crying? All he did was walk into the room. Stupid hormones.

Ashton runs to me, "Why are you crying? Are you hurt? Is something wrong with the baby? What's wrong? Tell me."

"I'm fine....but what do you think about this baby? Are you happy about it?"

"I am more than happy about it princess. This is wonderful news. I'm going to be a father and you a mother." Yay.

Ashton continues to talk to me about the baby and we continue to try on dresses for the ball, but all I can think about is how I can't protect it, not when Issac is on the loose. I love this baby already and I know I would be able to shower it with gifts, but can I protect it? Can I be the mother it needs me to be?

I'm not ready and that is all I know.

Tonight's the ball and Amelia is helping me get ready. "You are going to look so pretty Kylie. I can't wait to see you in your dress."

"I can't wait to see you in yours too Amelia. I bet you'll look absolutely gorgeous." I smile at her, but she gets this sad look on her face but quickly covers it up with a smile.
