"Are you sure you're feeling well enough to go to the wedding?" Rosie asked helping me sit down on my bed after getting ready.

"Yes, I don't want Suleiman to be even madder at me" I sighed fixing my hair and putting on my tiara.

"To hell with him, you're almost giving birth and you're thinking about him," she said angrily stalking over. I glared at making her sigh and take a deep breath.

I pulled myself up with the help of Akile. Rosie held Osman as we left the room and went down to the harem. For the past couple of months Suleiman hasn't talked to me or seen me and what's bugging me and the whole harem is that he didn't see anyone else and the Valida was mad too cause she kept sending him women and he refused them. He would let Hurrem into his room on Thursdays but nothing would happen.

I stood in the line beside the other women, on my right stood Hurrem her son being older than mine so she's before me in line, besides her Mahidevran.

The valide walked over to the harem with Hatice behind her clothed in full red from her head to her toes. We all bowed to them as they stopped in front of us.

I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach making me gasp and lean against Akile beside me. She looked at me worriedly as she helped me stand. I couldn't help but let out a scream as another wave of pain hit me.

"Get her to her room and send for the physician" the valida ordered as Rosie and Akile helped me out of the harem.

The pain was unbearable but I had to hold on, I've done it once I can do it twice. For my Osman and my baby and me.

"I told you shouldn't of gone" Rosie scolded as she helped me lean back on my bed and lie down.

"Rosie I barely left my room and I don't choose when to give birth" I yelled making her flinch as scream after the other ripped through my lips.

I leaned my head back feeling exhausted already after so many sleepless nights from the pain both physically and mentally. I missed the warm body of Suleiman beside me or the feeling of his arms wrapped around me.

"Akile, I want you to do something," I said in between screams. She scrambled over and stood beside me waiting for my orders, she was a loyal one I can tell.

"I want you to send one of the aghas and tell the sultan that I am giving birth" she bowed and ran out just as a midwife ran in with two others behind her to help.

"Sultanim, you are almost there, why didn't you send for us earlier?" She asked. I knew that I was feeling pain a lot but I wanted to see the wedding, I wanted to be beside Hatice when she marries the man she loves.

"Midwife" I turned to the doors to see Hurrem's maid Gulnihal leaning against the door panting.

"One of you come with me, Hurrem sultan is giving birth," she said. I seriously hate that woman. She's copying me even on this. I knew it wasn't in her hand when she gives birth but that doesn't make me feel better at least not now.

"You go," the head midwife said to one of the women. She got up and ran out of the room with Gulnihal.

"Push sultanim" I took a deep breath and pushed as hard as I could wanting the pain to be over and to hold my baby in my arms.

The rest was a blur then darkness. I don't remember what happened after. I didn't even get to see my baby before fainting.

I opened my eyes groggily and looked beside me to see the midwife standing beside me packing her things. I looked for Rosie and Akile but neither were here.

"Is the baby healthy?" I asked sitting up. She ran over and helped me up in a sitting position.

"Both of them are in a good condition," she said smiling brightly. I looked at the door as it opened to show Rosie walk in with a baby in her arms followed by Akile with another one. The baby in Rosie's arms was in a silver blanket while Akile's baby was in a Golden one.

"This is the boy," she said placing the baby in the silver blanket. I leaned down and kissed his forehead as he slept in my arms like an angel.

"And this is a girl" I don't get how Hurrem was sad when she had a girl. I placed a kiss on my angel's forehead feeling happier than ever. I had three children, I didn't care that one of them was a girl at all.

The doors burst opened to show Suleiman stalking in with his mother and sister, Beyhan, behind him. Mahidevran walked in last with a grim face on as she saw the two bundles in my arms.

"Allah, Suleiman god blessed you with Selim and now these two angels" I felt my heart plump down as a male's name left her lips. I looked at Mahidevran who nodded when she saw my gaze, Hurrem had a son too. That makes us even, two sons and one daughter each.

"How are you feeling?" I turned to look at my beloved. Despite being mad at me he still cared about me and that made my heart soar.

"Now that you and put children are beside me, I can't get any better, your majesty" he smiled at me and kissed my forehead. Finally, after months he's forgiven me for my stupid mistake.

"Give me my son," he said. I handed him the baby in the silver blanket and held the one in the Golden one closer to my chest as Rosie put on my head a headscarf.

"Your name will be Abdullah"

"Your name will be Ayse"

I smiled when he coordinated their names to start with the same letter. He smiled charmingly at me as he handed me back Abdullah.

"May Allah gives them a long life," the valide said. Mahidevran placed her present at the door of the bed beside leaving the room first beside anyone else.

I looked up at Suleiman who was smiling down at me, his smile his a secret but it seemed to be a good one so I didn't question it and smiled back brightly, we had three children now and we were happier than ever.
