Royally Screwed (COMPLETED)

42. I LOVE YOU

42. I LOVE YOU

Elijah's POV

I decided to go easy on Marcus today, since it was my check-up day at the hospital.
I was excited to see how the twins were doing and maybe we could finally know if they were boys or girls.
Marcus was a gentleman as usual. Opening doors for me and pulling my chair for me to sit down and holding my hand as we walked up some stairs. I wanted to just kiss him to death but I had to be strong.
I know people think I'm over reacting but I was honestly hurt when he made me cry and I don't want to go through that again. Blame it on my pregnancy hormones. I have been extra sensitive and emotional these days and it's getting annoying.

The other day Alyssa commented that I seemed to have gained weight. Guess how I responded?
"Fat? FAT? YOU THINK I'M FAT?" I asked in anger.
"No Eli. I didn't say you were fat. I just meant you're a little bigger" she responded in fear.
"Bigger? So now I'm huge and unattractive. Is that what you meant?" I lashed out again.
"No, you're handsome and small," she said.
"So, I'm too skinny now?" I asked standing and she looked like she was about to piss her pants but Marcus cut in as he entered the room.
"You can never be considered skinny with that ass," he said and I just burst into tears as I ran out of the room.

Now that I think about it, I really don't know why I cried. Gosh being pregnant is so confusing. It's like I have lost the ability to think logically.
I love Marcus and want him to hold me but if he says the wrong thing I just want to punch him in the face. And then cry about how I'm sorry, I hurt him after. It makes no sense and I'm not even 3 months pregnant. What more the whole stretch.
The doctor did the regular check up, put that cold gel on my stomach again and then I saw my precious gems.

Every time I saw the lives growing in my stomach, I was brought to tears. I love them so much already. My little Peanut and Strawberry.
They were bigger now and I couldn't withhold the joy in my heart.
"Can I know if they are boys or girls yet?" I asked Dr Kim.
I liked him and requested that he should be my doctor. I didn't really like the other doctor, they looked at me weirdly.
"Not yet, but you will be able to check within a month when they are more developed," he said before cleaning me up and shutting down.

As soon as he walked out Marcus held my hand as he stood in front of me. We gazed into each other eyes for a very long time.
My plan to ignore him was backfiring because the doctor forgot to mention, how these pregnancy hormones would make me extra horny.
It was very difficult to resist a very handsome and sexy prince who is literally the man of my dreams. Before I could move away, he kissed me. I immediately responded because, honestly, I missed his touch.
"Thank you, Eli. We didn't exactly meet under great circumstances and I made some mistakes but I don't regret anything. I got to meet you and be with you in a special way which has brought us here today. I love you and I love Peanut and Strawberry just as much. Thank you," he said before kissing me again.
But before I could respond his phone rang, ruining our perfect moment.

"Hello...really...okay....but.... okay, fine. I'm on my way," he said before cutting the call and dialing another number.
"Mr. Wilson please come and pick Elijah up from the hospital... Thank you," he said before cutting the call.
"You're leaving me?" I asked with a pout.
"Sorry, baby. It's an emergency," he said but I held his hand to stop him from moving.
"Marcus, please I need you. Don't leave me. Ask someone else to handle it." Damn these pregnancy hormones were making me so needy.
"I'm sorry, Eli. I can't do that," he said giving me a sad look and he got himself free from my grip.
"What's more important between me and work?" I asked. He took a deep breath before looking away from me.

"I'm sorry Eli. I need to go," he said as he left the room. I don't know how to respond. I expected to cry but I was more angry than anything. Mr. Wilson took about 30 minutes to come collect me which was strange. He was usually faster and the palace was not very far.
"You don't seem too happy today. Did you have a fight with Prince Marcus?" he asked with a smile as I settled in the passenger seat.
"Marcus? I don't know a Marcus," I said in anger. Stupid Prince. Now I'm going to treat him like air. I know it's there but I can't see it and I won't see him.
Mr. Wilson's phone suddenly rang and he had to stop the car to answer it. I wasn't paying attention to him but when he turned the car around I wondered where we were going.
