I nodded my head and tried to carry him. Clover picked him up with her spell and carried him to a healing room. When all was over it was five A.M. I slept by his side everyday and didn't let him out of my sight. When he woke up he looked around the room. We had moved him to a room that received a lot of sunlight. I helped him sit up and grabbed him tea with the potion in it.
"Careful," I said softly. His wounds were deep and the bandages were covering his body and he hand bruises everywhere. He looked up at me in my dress. "I'm sorry," he said softly. I set the tea down and gave him a hug. He looked into my eyes and kissed me. It caught me by surprise but at the same time it brought comfort to me. I started crying a little. He broke the kiss and asked me to lay with him.
As I laid down his hands shined a bright purple glow. He aimed his hands at my stomach and I watched as my stomach got bigger. "Much better," he said with a smirk. He now made me three weeks before I was due. I couldn't move much now, and everything was hurting. As I whined in pain he leaned in and kissed me on my forehead. "It's a small side effect of having my child," he said teasingly.
He pulled me even closer and kissed me. "Why me Leo?" I said confused. "Because I love you," he said calmly. I nodded my head and got closer. As I shut my eyes I heard the door open. When I opened my eyes it was Lumia standing in front of the bed. "Hi Skylar, I'm here to check on you and your child as a request of queen Amelia," she said softly. I sat up in the bed next to Leo and watched as her hands turned green.
"It's going to feel a little weird but I promise that you'll be fine," she said softly. When she put her hands on my skin her face lit up like nothing I had seen before. "Oh my," she said shocked. "How are you farther than Amelia herself," she said concerned. I turned my head and looked at Leo meanwhile he just shrugged.
"It's an effect of having a child with a leopard," Leo said in a mischievous tone. His grin alone was enough to make any women blush. As I noticed Lumia's face turn red from looking at his chest I stared off wondering if he was the right man for me. Just then he leaned in and kissed me on my forehead. I watched as his hands turned purple and he touched my stomach.
"Most cubs are meant to be born within five to six days," he said calmly. By this point in time I was five days in and he could tell. Just then I felt a stream of water break. "Leo," I said concerned. He looked over and kept a neutral reaction. He moved to where Lumia was and put a blanket by me. "It shouldn't hurt because most of the time it doesn't hurt. However because you're an elf and not a leopard it may hurt a little," he said calmly.
Just then Lumia shoved Leo out the room and sat where he was. "Hey Skylar look at me. This is going to hurt a lot, due to elves not having a good baby however don't worry," she said calmly. After about a few minute I realized that I was running out of energy and I couldn't figure out how I was going to continue. Lumia sighed and her hands turned green. Within a few minutes she managed to get the baby out and get me safe. "I'll alert Rose and Amelia about your child okay," she said eagerly. "Oh and it's a girl," she said happily. When she walked out the room Leo ran in and hugged me. "It didn't hurt that much," I said softly. "I told you," he said calmly.
Just then up in the window a black leopard with a purple gem in the middle of its head started transforming. It transformed just like Leo except it was a female. "Leo is it true, did you really have a child with an elf," the women said angrily. "Yes mother I did," he said in a sturdy voice. The women looked shocked as if she couldn't process what just came out of Leo's mouth. As I watched her open the windows I realized she had what looked to be a crown on her head and she was wearing a very elegant dress.
"And who may this elf be," she said curiously. "Her name is Skylar, also my fiancé," he said proudly. I waved my hand at the women and she stared in shock. "Leo is she what elf I think she is," she said frantically. "How is she not dead if we ever mate with elves they are sure to die," she said confused. "Unless," she said hesitantly.
As she walked closer to me I made eye contact with her. She had fangs like Leo's only it looked as if she wasn't as powerful or as special. "Oh my," she said calmly. "You're one of her kids aren't you. Poor thing she had to die," she said sadly. As she looked at Leo she then looked back at me. "What a sad thing that happened to the queen," I mean after all before we got turned into these things she was a very powerful woman," she said proudly.
"No wonder you didn't die. You've been her heir to the elven throne," she said excitedly. Just then Rose kicked open the door and screamed. Not only did she see two royal leopards. She saw how I was whimpering next to them. "Skylar what's going on," Rose asked concerned. "Rose, this is Leo's mom and she said I should've died having the child but instead I may be the heir to the throne of an actual kingdom," I said panting.
She stood back trying to process everything but before I could even attend to my child Leo's mom took her from me. "Oh that's weird," she said confused. "What is it," I said frantically. "It's a girl but she has the eyes of an elf but the ears of a leopard," she said confused. "Most of the time the leopard genes take over but I guess not," she added on. "Wait mom did you say a girl," Leo said trying to remain calm.
She nodded her head and watched as Leo tried to process this. "Mom I've never seen another female leader other than you in the leopard clan," he said sounding concerned. "Hey sorry to interrupt whatever family drama you guys have I'm just here to give Ocean to her mom and then take her mom with me," Rose said in an annoyed tone. As I got up from the bed Rose handed me Ocean. "Oh Leo we still need a name for her," I said softly. "How about Primrose," he said calmly. "It's perfect!" I replied.
As Leo's mom handed me Primrose I walked out the door with Rose explaining everything that was happening. When I finally finished explaining all that had happened Rose just gave me a hug and said she was sorry for me and everything I had been through. As she held me in her arms I felt a feeling of comfort that I had never felt before. Within a few seconds of me realizing that I was sobbing.
"I know you've been through so much in the past few days," she said calmly. As she stroked my hair I realized that she wasn't just pitting me, but instead she was caring for me. I had felt this feeling in so long. I mean I had known Rose since I was six, but it never occurred to me that she was more than the girl I worked for. Now that I think about it she's always been like the older sister I've never had. She was especially caring when my mom died and I never thought anything of it.
As I was sobbing Leo walked up behind me and hugged me. "I'm sorry Sky," he said softly. Rose glared at him meanwhile his mom was glaring at Rose. "Leo can't we just take the child after all you ran away from the clan after you became leader not to mention you were supposed to be married to Nova, but you broke off the engagement," she said in a harsh tone. "No you can't take my child," I said back.
