Chapter 4 - Chapter four: The king's son

The queen who was pregnant and at the same time taking care of her adopted son was very excited that she would soon bring forth the child she's carrying.

The king was also not left out of the excitement. This time around the king became so over protective of his wife. He gave her all the attention she needed. The king even hired a nanny to take care of their adopted son baby Zack.

Lying on the soft couch, "hmm" the queen sighed feeling so exhausted and sleepy.

On walking in, the king saw his wife looking tired. "are you alright my love".

Smiling on seeing her husband, "yes i am. I only feel a little bit tired but it's nothing.

Stroking her big belly "are you sure my love because you look so tired and i don't like the condition you are in. maybe I should massage you. What do you think"

Sitting up properly, "no I'm fine"

The king feeling concerned for his wife asked again, "I'm massaging you whether you like it or not".

Raising her hands in defeat, the queen said "do unto me as you please your majesty".

They both laughed at what the queen had said.

The king then put the queen to sleep after the massage. He sat down staring at his beautiful wife who slept peacefully.

He remembered the first time he met her at her maternal kingdom in Decresh when he went on royal assignment. He was riding on his horse alone without the company of the royal guards when he stopped to look for water for his horse at the well. At that time his wife was approaching the well to fetch water with her gourd when she noticed the man was looking for a fetcher to get water from the well.

She then asked "hello sir do you need water".

Looking at the beautiful maiden before him, "yes i do. it's for my horse, he's pretty thirsty".

Glancing at the handsome man before her and then at the horse, she said "okay i will get you water".

She the tied a rope to her gourd to get water from the well.

Walking towards the horse with the water gourd in her hands, she then glanced at him and asked "may i " trying to get permission from him to feed his horse water.

"yes of course".

Feeding the horse water and at the same time stroking his mane, "he's so handsome and what's his name" she asked looking at the man.

"his name is Damian" he said admiring the beautiful woman before him.

"oh, what a lovely name" she replied still stroking his mane.

Looking at home the horse was calm before her, "he likes you" he said.

She giggled and said "i think so too".

Still admiring the beauty before him, "what's your name beautiful".

Amazed at how he called her beautiful, "my name is Anna and what's yours"

"my name is Drago. You're really beautiful you know" he said sweetly.

Flushed to the point that her ears were red like a tomato, "thank you" she replied.

From that point the king got to know about her background and visited her parents and decided to marry her.

Jolting back to reality on hearing his wife's soft cry "what's the problem my love".

Feeling so much pain in her abdomen, "i don't know, i feel uncomfortable".

He then made her sit up and began coaxing her.

"it's alright my love".

"ahhhhh..." screamed the queen.

"are you alright" the king asked in a panicked state.

"i think the baby is coming" she said crying loudly.

Trying to calm her down, "breath in and out"

"*inhaling and exhaling*"

The king the ran out to send for the midwife and royal doctor.

He came back and so his wife in pain and began to panick.

"it's alright my love" the king said calmly stroking her back to ease her pain.

Just then the midwife and the royal doctor ran in.

"let's take her to the delivery room" said the midwife.

The king then helped his wife up and gently carried her to the delivery room.

While in the delivery room the midwife immediately asked the king to leave but he refused.

"please my king would you leave us to do our job" begged the midwife.

"I want to stay here with my wife" the king said caressing his wife's hand.

The queen then held his face and said "hunny i would be fine okay"

"okay then but please be fine." said the king standing up to leave.

After the king left the midwife and the royal doctor began the delivery process.

Outside the delivery room, the king could be seen pacing back and forth gritting his teeth from time to time on hearing his wife scream.

"ahhh... it hurts" said the queen in so much pain.

"just a little more push my queen" said the midwife.

"I'm trying can't you see" the queen said frustrated.

After a little more push the cry of a baby could be heard.

"waaah waaah" the baby cried.

"my queen it's a boy" the royal doctor cried happily.

The midwife then handed the baby to the queen.

"he is so cute" said the queen feeling happy with the baby in her hands.

The king who was pacing about outside the delivery room suddenly heard the cried of a baby and jumped in joy feeling happy that his child has finally come to the world.

The midwife came out and announced to the king that his wife brought forth a son. The king was so happy that he sent the royal guards to announce to the kingdom that his son had arrived.

The king's guards began announcing to the king that 'the king's son' had arrived.
