Night Visits(35)

palace through the center of town and into the village where we rode in the carriage. Today was a joyful day for all, by now the whole kingdom knew of the impending birth of the empress and my people knew what that meant for our kingdom and was only too happy to embrace the one who would give birth to their future.

"You see sweetheart, I told you it would be fine."

She was positively beaming under all the love and adoration being heaped on her as our people showered her with flowers and well wishes.

I felt the change before she did and was ready for the grimace that came across her face.

"Donovan....."

"I know love." I took her hand in mine for her to squeeze as I thought of the best way back; her painful groan decided the matter for me.

"Trust me." I didn't give her a chance to answer just took her in my arms and flew.





PUSSY Well damn next time warn a heifer, I was...oh shit, man down man down



I didn't have time to placate her right now I was too busy trying to remember what breathing felt like. I know I needed it to live but right now that was all I could recall. There were way too many people in this fucking room that’s probably what the problem was.

"Get out!"

"Ssh Tamara it's ok." The room was gorgeous, that much I'd noticed when Donovan had literally flew through the air back to the castle. We'll have to do that again sometime when it didn't feel like someone was driving steel spikes into my crotch.

"Tamara, please." He looked white as a sheet, I forgot the mind reading thing; looking at his face the love was there yes, but I wanted to punch his lights out. "This is all your fault." Shit I did slug him.

"Yes I know..."

"Are you being sarcastic with me right now?" That's it, a good fight would take my mind off of things, maybe I can put this torture off. The children were quiet which wasn't bothersome in the least it's just that I thought for sure Nicola at least would be talking up a storm. It was her big debut after all.

"They're concentrating on causing you as little discomfort as possible." That earned him a glare, if this was the least amount of discomfort then I'm in so much trouble. "We're not... having... any...more...babies..."

"Uh, actually legend says we'll have seven remember?" Even pussy cringed at that bit of news.



PUSSY Listen here king dick, I didn't sign up for this shit, there must be some sheepskin in this raggedy bitch somewhere, cover your shit up.





"You're laughing? I'm dying and you're laughing?"

"Sorry love but she's hysterical."

"Fine why don't you two just go off somewhere and have drinks?" What the hell did I just say? I've lost my mind. Meanwhile the women in the room were looking back and forth between us because they had no idea what I was screaming about and yes I had been screaming every word. I can't believe women did this everyday this isn't to be borne, science ought to have come up with something to combat this shit a long long time ago. Here they didn't even offer drugs but....

"Demerol, get me back home I need drugs." I grabbed his shirt in my fist so he knew I meant business.

"We can't love she has to be born here." He kissed my brow and placed his hand over the mound of my stomach that seemed hard and hot. I'm not quite sure what my children were doing in there, there was movement but nothing I could decipher.

"Nicola please take it easy on your mama." Either she didn't hear me or she just decided to ignore because the most intense pain struck me at my words. I screamed and held onto Donovan’s hand like a lifeline. The waiting women fussed around me but there wasn't much they could do; it's as though they were here only to witness the birth. Jacinda had arrived and was now sitting at my side holding my hand. Donovan had moved around behind me his legs opened on either side of mine his large hands covering my huge tummy. After that horrendous pain of a moment ago I felt sweet relief I think the kids had fallen asleep or something because there was no more tearing ripping sensation. And then........"Fucking shit, fuck fuck fuck."

Fuck this I'm not staying here, I'm not doing this.





My poor girl is suffering and it's killing me; I had no idea the birthing process was so harrowing, yes I'd heard exaggerated stories before or at least I'd thought they were exaggerated but this, this was unlike anything....

"Baby we have to stay any minute now they'll be here and the pain will be over." Her grip on my hand intensified and my heart hurt that she should go through this for me, for my people. Did she have any idea just how much she was loved? I opened myself to her being careful to shield from everyone else in the room.

'Hear me sweet love, this pain will pass, and you will have done something amazing, something no one else was destined to do. This contribution of yours this great sacrifice will be written in our chronicles and recited in our history forever. Thank you.'
