Officer Tanner's POV...
Part of the royal guard and I were watching the whole thing between America and Maxon. We didn't want to be nosy but we wanted to know what was happening more. They are walking back to the palace now. I wonder what he said to her. "Oh I hope I have a love like they do one day, "Officer Carson says. "I don't care what people say having a wife is the best thing that'll happen to you, " I say. "America is pretty amazing...i would want to let her go if I was the prince, " Officer Brandt says. "Yeah I was an idiot, " Aspen mumbles. "What was that Leger?" Brandt asks. "Did you and Lady America used to date?" Carson asks surprised. "Yeah we did back in Carolina, " he confesses. "Leger! Why would you let her go?!" Brandt asks."Well she was a 5 I was a 6 I didn't want to make her a 6 and this was right before the draft came out. I wanted her to have a better life than mine, " he says. "Dang dude that's deep, " Carson says. "Why didn't yall date after the selection?" I ask. "Because she wanted to wait until Maxon had married, " Leger says. "What did you go back to Carolina for a few days for?" Carson asks. "To be America's 'husband' while Luca was being born, " he says. "The baby though is the Prince's?" I ask. "Yes!" he says really fast. "They are the perfect couple in my opinion. The prince would die for her so would you Aspen but to be honest, you would be perfect with Lucy, " I say. "Lucy huh?" he says. "Agreed!" Brandt says. "They are almost here guys back to your post!" I whisper shout.
Maxon's POV...
We get to the palace doors and we walk inside. Teddy took Luca to his room. We get to the floor that America's room is on and we hear screams from downstairs. The alarm goes off. America and I run to the royal family safe room. As soon as she sees Luca she runs and hugs him. "You're okay, " she breathes. "Thank you, Teddy, " she says. "Anytime Lady America, " he replies. She let's go of Luca and he runs to me. I pick him up. "Hey buddy, " I say. "Hi daddy, " he says. It's so nice to be called that. Luca and I sit on one of the beds. America is too busy pacing to come sit with us. I get up and grab her shoulders to where she is looking at me. "America what's wrong?" I ask. "Your parents are down here yet, " she says. Oh my gosh, they aren't! I was so focused on America and Luca that I didn't even realize it. "I need to go find them, " she says. "No! Do not go up there, " I say sternly.
America's POV...
Maxon tells me to come to sit with him and Luca. He turns around assuming I'm following him. He turns back around to see me running out and locking the door. "No!" I hear him yell. I run up and see a dead rebel. I grab his pistol and sneak down the hall. I see the king and queen. A few rebels are pointing guns at them. They haven't seen me yet. I shoot all the rebels. They turn my way. "Let's go!" I yell. I let the king and queen run in front of me since I have a weapon. I shoot a few more rebels. We are running and there is another swarm of rebels. I get down on one knee and start shooting. A guard kneels down next to me and does the same. Oh, it's Aspen! "Go!" he orders as he continues to shoot. "But-" I start. "Go!" he orders again. I get up and run back to the safe room.
Maxon's POV...
Ok, my parents are down here but America has yet to make it down. I pace back and forth. Someone comes running through the door. It's America! Thank goodness!! I run to her and pick her up (not bridal style) and hold her tightly. "You're okay, " I whisper. "Of course I am, " she laughs. I put her down. I notice she's holding a gun. "America?" I ask gesturing to the gun. "I'll explain, " my mother pipes up. "She ran out it of here to where we were. A group of rebels had guns pointed at us about I shoot. I thought our life was over but then the rebels started getting shot. I looked over and there was America. We continued to the safe room and she shot some rebels before coming down here, " she says. "Wow, " I say. "Are you mad?" she asks. She seriously thinks I'm mad. "America how could I be mad about something like that. Ok, I was more worried than anything when you left and weren't back for a while. But you saved my parents, " I say. She smiles a little. My mom elbows my dad. "Thank you so much America. You are going to be an amazing daughter and woman for my son, " he says. She's beaming. Then her face falls. "Actually your majesty I might not be your daughter, " she says. My face falls. "Why is that!" my mother exclaims. "Because your son has yet to propose!" she exclaims jokingly. "Maxon when are you going to propose to the poor girl?" my mother asks. "Well again it's not the right time! I can't exactly propose in a safe room, " I say. Everyone laughs at me. Luca is passed out on the bed. I sit with America and she ends up falling asleep.
