Rose was chatting with Mira in Mira's bedroom when someone came knocking on the door. "Come in" said Mira. Abner came into the room. He bowed slightly to show respect to the two ladies. "Princess Rose, your acquaintance is needed outside the maid's quarters by Prince Rexford"
"Tell him I'll be there in five minutes" Abner then bowed slightly and left the the room.
"What do you think he wants at this time of the night?" asked Rose.
"Mi Princesa, why aren't you observant. I've seen the way you both interact, he's been trying to tell you something for the past two days and my intuition tells me he's trying to ask you on a date! He's obviously here to finally ask you for dinner! And, you'd better say yes. You guys have been knowing each other for last two days. If you want this relationship to move forward, you both should better buy your dating tickets to lover's town. The earlier the better"
"I don't know Mira. I mean?"
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you're unsure about him? Rex is nice and caring and cute and chivalrous! It's hard to find a guy like him in this age and time. Our prayer was for you to find a guy even better than Fredrick and here he is! He's finally here Rose! Open your eyes!"
"Mira -"
"Mi Princesa, I don't know what you want anymore! First Raph. You came up with some theory that it was an infatuation and I didn't blame you because, it could've been that. Now Rex? Oh, co -" Mira didn't get the chance to finish what she was saying because, she immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up in her toilet. Rose ran, following her friend.
She helped Mira hold her hair up so it wouldn't get in her vomit. Mira was vomiting non-stop for about a minute. And when she was done, she rinsed her face with water.
While Mira was rinsing her face Rose stopped her in her tracks saying "Are you pregnant?"
She raised her head up slowly and responded saying "I-I-I d-don't know". Then, Rose sighed. "Have you and Fredrick done elm...you know? Did you guys do it?"
Mira started looking at her as if she was embarrassed. "I'm taking that as a yes"
Mira didn't say anything during the few seconds that passed but slowly, tears started invading her eyes. She looked up to the ceiling, trying hard to fight back the tears. But all her efforts were to no avail. Tears started to roll down her cheeks and started flowing down faster by every passing second. These weren't tears of joy. Noticing this, Rose pulled Mira in for a long, warm hug.
"Mira, why are you crying? This is great news! You're gonna be a mom! Sooner than you expect!"
"It's just... Fredrick's mom doesn't believe in babies before marriage"
"Well, Fredrick should have thought of that before he did it with you!"
"W-what if he leaves me because of this?"
"You're overreacting Mira. Fredrick can not do that and if...which is a big if. If he even thinks of doing anything like that. I'll have Oliver deal with him!"
"Stop pulling my legs"
"You know, this really explains why you were cranky just a minute ago"
"I'm sorry about that. I was just pissed"
"No worries. I can get a little bit complicated sometimes. Now, stop crying, it's not good for the baby"
"Ok"
"I have to go see Rex now and you should find some time to tell Fredrick about this"
"I'll do that after you leave"
"Hold up! Before you do that, we have to be sure. I mean, you could just be sick after all. We wouldn't want to be causing false alarm. I tell you what? If Rex is taking me out, I'll stop by the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test for you"
"But -"
"No buts. You are taking the test no matter what"
If only Rose would listen to what Mira was about to say.
