chapter 27: The last time

Kian's POV

"It was great being here, Kian. I'll always keep in contact with you all." Jane says as we all stand at the palace gates.

It's been two days since Jane was here and today she's going back to their kingdom.

"We feel great to have you here as well, Jane." I reply with a smile.

She nods and bids goodbye to all of us before getting into the carriage with her son. When they settle inside, they wave their hands to us from the small window before the carriage starts. As the carriage moves, we wait until it's out of our sight and with one last look, we turn back and head back into the palace. While my parents goes to their chamber, we make our way towards us.

"Mama, carry me please." Gia requests Archie as till until now she was walking.

"I'll carry you, baby." I state and immediately lift her up in my hands.

"Papa, I wanted mama to carry me, not you." Gia calls out with a pout.

"Because mama is not allowed to carry you, I'm doing it instead." I say and look at Archie to see him pouting just like her.

"Why is that?" She asks and I chuckle looking at both of the pouting people.

"Mama is already carrying babies so he can't carry you from now on." I reply to her.

After Archie and me finding out about his pregnancy, the next day I told my parents before announcing it to the whole kingdom. It's such a happy moment and I felt there's no reason to keep it secret. When I told my parents, my mother was on cloud nine. She couldn't believe she's going to have another grandbaby, I mean grandbabies. Being so happy, she rewarded everyone in the kingdom with golden coins. Everyone is so happy regarding the news and congratulated us.

"Babies? Where are they? I can't see them." My thoughts come to a stop when I hear Gia's voice.

"For now they're inside your mama's tummy. You can't see them now. In nine months, you can see them." I tell her happily at the thought of seeing my babies after nine months.

"Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" After hearing my answer she starts crying.

I query her instantly and see Archie watching her worriedly.

"Papa, mama always get tired when he carries me. I'm only one and he used to carry me only few times. But now he's carrying more babies and for nine months. I feel bad for mama. Can't you help him carry them instead?" She cries out.

As if on cue, I hear another cry and turn to Archie to see him crying. Surprised by Gia's words and Archie's cries, I hurriedly walk us to our room as the guards stare at both of them weirdly. When we finally reach the room, I close the doors immediately and settle Gia on the bed before pulling Archie to sit by my side.

"Gia, baby, if I can I would help your mama but I can't. They'll grow in his tummy. But you don't worry or feel sad because I'll take good care of him, okay?" I assure her hoping she would listen.

And to my relief, she nods at me. So I wipe her tears and carry her to her room so that I can put her to sleep. As it's already time for bed, she sleeps without delay and I pull the blanket over her before leaving the room. When I reach our room, I lock the door and walk to the bed where Archie is sitting and still crying.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying so much?" I sit in front of him and wipe his tears as I ask him.

"Because Gia cried for me, I couldn't help but cry." He wails before moving forward and sitting on my lap, hugging me tightly.
