After having a meeting with the ministers and explaining the situation, the prince and the Empress got a chance to be alone in her chamber.
"Would they submit the legislation I decreed?"
She was nervous, if they would reject that demand, she hardly could see the prince again.
"They are supposed to accept it!"
Her palms moved up and cupped his face.
"You know that I can't lose you!"
His palms rested on her belly, the life that was growing in her was a part of him.
She smiled, her eyes were wet, and her heart pounded faster as he did tho, kneeling before her and kissing her belly.
"Can you hear my little monsters? This is your father."
Xing Huan was gasping, after all, she experienced now he was here.
"I'm sure she can hear you!"
Her tears dropped.
"You are so lucky for having a strong mother, I'm in love with her. She didn't give up on me after realizing what I am, she let me taste life."
