ROSALIA'S POV
The question came out of the blue I was shocked how did she even know my belly is not even showing that much I could bet.
She was asking me with a face etched of worries and concern I understand her, she's always loved me as her own daughter maybe she's disappointed that me and her son are divorced.
I felt pity for the both of them even though their son was an asshole they deserve to know the truth and they should be given the privilege to know about their grandchildren, I am well aware of how they all banter about grandchildren the four of them, my dad has already lost the privilege of seeing his grandkids due to his sudden death but atleast he knows about them.
I shouldn't let them lose the privilege of seeing their grandkids I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something should happen and they wouldn't be able to see them.
I decide to let them know and I answered her "yes Mom I am pregnant" she gasped when she heard me her eyes were already misty and she was pointing at Wade why would she point at Wade a lone tear has already made it escape from her eye she hugged her husband's and cried for a while, like why would she be crying when she came to know of my pregnancy and she pointing at Wade is really baffling me what's going on.
After a little while she's calm down and cleaned her face of tears by dabbing her handkerchief on her face the way royals do I guess royals sure has a way of crying.
She pointed at Wade again and asked "is he the father" the Campbells, mom, Wade and I all exchanged shocked glances with what we heard that was when i realized what's been going on in her head, she thought Wade was the father of my babies and that broke her heart thinking she's lost me forever, I felt loved when I realized what she was thinking even though me and her son are divorced she still wants me as her family.
Not knowing her asshole of a son is the babies father i never knew love from Alexander but all this people seated here are prove that i am loved including his parents.
I felt joy inside of me I then decide to tell her the pleasant news she would really want to hear "no mother Wade's not the father, he's my big brother" I said to them looking at Wade with brotherly love and I saw her sigh in relief while dramatically touching her chest, she can really be dramatic at times are all royals like this just then she asked again "is-is it Alexander's" she asked me stuttering I know she's really hoping it Alexander's I answer her again "yes mother it is, it Alexander's" she burst into tears again but smiling amidst the tears while mumbling incoherent words, she was talking to father in words I can't seem to hear even father was smiling at me happiness evident on his face, everyone was smiling even i was unknowingly smiling.
She asks again I know today would be about questions and answers "he doesn't know, does he"
"No Mother he's not aware because he doesn't want to know" I answered her making her know what her son wanted, they were all baffled and the kings exchanged glances "yes mother Alexander doesn't know about the pregnancy because he said I can never be pregnant with his child, I asked him when he gave me the divorce papers that would he have gone on with the divorce if we were expecting a child he said it was my illusion, since he doesn't want the pregnancy he doesn't deserve to know about my children's existence" the kings looked at me in shock then Alexander's mom asked "children? what's going on Rosalia" I smiled at her state of confusion " yes mother children it's a twin, a boy and a girl" she abruptly stood up and came to engulfed me in an heartwarming hug while crying and smiling at the same time kissing my cheeks and father also came to hug me.
After disengaging from the hug we continued from where we left off and the atmosphere became lively, they said to me what literally shook me to my core because I would never expect them to say that in a million years "we will support you in whatever you do Rosalia since he doesn't want them we won't give them to him, I've never been this much happy in a while but please Rosalia-" she said while holding my hands and squeezing them gently "-please don't deny us the privilege of being able to witness and share in the twin's journey by being their grandparents from us, don't ever think of us as our unfilial son and we in turn we'll make sure he doesn't know about them until you are willing to let him know or even if you don't want him to know" she stopped and continued still holding on to my hands
"We would never disclose anything to him because we are so angry at him for divorcing you and that too without our consent and getting engaged to that country bumpkin, until he seeks your forgiveness that's when he will be forgiven by us so Rosalia please always see us in the light you've been seeing us till now, we are so sorry for whatever pain Alexander may have caused you we are deeply sorry" she said trying to clasp her hands together to ask for me for forgiveness.
I quickly held on to her hands before she could complete what she wanted to do and telling her "no mother you've never offended me you've always loved me like your own daughter what other royals can never do and about the twins, I would never deny you two the privilege of being in their lives they would need their grandparents and about the divorce am healing from it quite fine thanks to the Campbells" I said gesturing towards them and she followed my gaze i continued "so don't worry mother am doing fine now that's my past and I've moved on from the past, the twins will always be around you when they are born you both are always welcome to my place i live in Houston now" i told them smiling at them and I hugged her intensely we disengaged from the hug and they spent an hour more at my mom's.
We all had dinner chatted and amidst all we laughed reminiscing about things except for Wade, who never really contributed to the discussion except when asked questions, I tried forcing him to join the conversation but had to let it go, when I saw conversing was not his forte as he was not even striving.
When they were about leaving I saw them off to their car with Wade she was about to get in the car when she held my hands again and said "even though you are both divorced you will always be a daughter to me we are both thankful to you for letting us know about the twins existence and we are promising you Alexander won't know or hear a thing about them"
"Mother am grateful to you both you and father the twins couldn't have gotten a better grandparents than you two and you promising me never to breached Alexander about the pregnancy makes me feel better thank you so much mother" she let go of my hands and got in the car they wave me good bye while their chauffeur drove out of the garage.
I head back in with Wade once we were inside everyone made to disperse in their respective rooms as it was getting late, I then told the Campbells that we have a discussion along side Wade in my dad's study tomorrow I chose dad's study because it's soundproof so things would be confidential.
I got into my room freshen up and changed out of the mourning attire I had on into a new set of pajamas, about to sleep i rubbed my belly remembering today's event most especially Alexander's hateful glare that was directed at me, also remembering Nora mocking smile it hurts I won't lie but even if it hurts like hell I need to put my children's life and welfare before my desires.
I need to move on from that heart wrenching past which only consist of pain longing and heartaches Alexander has brought me to
