Music Recommendation: Your Majesty- Rupert Gregson

.

Another week passed in the living world while Beth waited for something to happen, as this time she knew her wish had finally reached Heaven. But even though her wishes could go through, it didn't mean it would be granted. Some wishes were granted, while most were often rejected, especially when they were related to the Heavenly beings.

"Here let me help you," offered Beth, giving her hand to Madeline and putting her other hand on her sister's back, who was trying to stand from where she sat.

"God, I feel so tired and hot today," complained Madeline when she got on her feet. "I feel like I grew twice my size, but Cal said I look the same," she shook her head, remembering something her husband said.

"Did the physician say that the baby was due next week?" asked Beth, and she slowly let go of her sister's back while staying close next to her.

Calhoun had left Madeline's side an hour ago so that he could attend to the royal court matters on what was going on in Devon. He mostly completed going through the doc.u.ments and signing them when Madeline was taking her naps while sitting in the same room as her.

"Yes, that is what he said. Feels like the days are passing sooner than before, and I wonder if it is because the castle is full with people again. To think that almost a year has passed since we entered the Hawthrone castle," Madeline reminisced the days with a smile on her lips. "And we are still deciding the names for the baby."

"That's alright. You still have time for it," assured Beth.

Through the door, Lucy entered with a tray in her hand.

"You should have asked the maids to get them, Lucy," said Madeline, but Lucy waved her hand before placing the tray of flower tea in the pot.

"That's absolutely fine. I am so used to getting things done by myself with Theo and it has turned out to be a habit now," and saying this, Lucy sat down to pour the tea for herself and to the two young women, who were on the patio. Lucy and Theodore had arrived at the castle four days ago. Now it was just Aunt Monique, who was missing from the castle, but she was already on her way to the castle.

Madeline placed her hands on the baby bump, running them back and forth to feel the roundness while she hummed something.

"It feels so peaceful, doesn't it," said Beth, looking at the grounds of the castle.

"It feels blissful," replied Lucy, bringing the teacups and handing them over to Madeline and Beth before she picked her own and came to stand near the railings. "To think that life was different not just one year but two decades ago. Back then it was hard to dream for a future which was so perfect like this."

"Are you planning for a child too, Lady Lucy?" asked Beth, and the vampiress smiled.

"We thought about having one after everything settles down with the school. I never knew that the renovation work would take this long time," replied Lucy thoughtfully. Back then, she thought it would get ready in two months, but it had taken more than six months. "How about you, Lady Elizabeth? Are you planning to settle down here?"

"Beth is waiting for Raphael's return," chimed Madeline, slowly sipping the tea before bringing it down.

"Is that so," Lucy responded before saying, "Did Gabriel mention anything about them being allowed to come to the living world? I heard from Vlad that some of the wishes get granted after many years, and many get rejected."

Madeline sighed, "I did make a few more wishes to make sure the Heaven's would not forget about it. I don't know when the time will come." As optimistic as Madeline was, she didn't know if Paschar or Raphael would be coming any time soon. At the same time, she didn't want Beth to keep waiting and live the rest of her life all by herself, but then in the end, it was her sister's decision. "How about you, Bethie?"

Beth smiled at her sister's question, "I have sent a fair share of prayers to Heaven."

Somewhere there was hope, and everyone held on to it.

"AH!" came the sudden sound from Madeline, and the teacup slipped from her hand to fall on the floor as Madeline clutched the front of her dress.

Beth's eyes furrowed, and at the same time, she noticed water drops dripping on the floor where Madeline stood.

"I think the baby is coming sooner than the time we expected him to come," Beth's words slipped out of her mouth, supporting Madeline hunched her body out of pain.

"Him?" asked her sister in pain.

Lucy said, "I will go call brother Calhoun and have someone get the midwives at the earliest as possible!" and she quickly left their side to go and inform about Madeline's condition.

Beth continued to hold Madeline's hand, and she felt her sister squeeze her hand because of the discomfort and pain she was experiencing right now. Seeing her sister heave for air, Beth said, "Breath, Maddie. It is going to be fine. The King should be here any moment."

While she was in the land of Warring, she had come to identify the smell pregnant women held around them, which was different when they carried a girl or a boy child with them. Beth had found out the day she had arrived here, but she had decided to keep it to herself.

Madeline felt the contraction and the pain that only continued to increase.

Within less than a minute, Calhoun had appeared through the door, and Beth stepped away so that he could stand beside Madeline.

"You are going to be alright," Calhoun assured Madeline before picking her and carrying her to the room that was being prepared for her to deliver the baby.

The whole castle had gone on alert, and everyone in the castle couldn't help but wait eagerly while the family members reached the front of the room to see Calhoun bring Madeline to the room and place her on the large bed.

"I am right here, my sweet girl. Come on breath for me," whispered Calhoun while sitting next to her on the bed and wiping the sweat forming on her forehead.
