chapter 8

The pain I felt was unbearable then suddenly Ares scooped me up and started running to the delivery room after much time of pushing, crying and screaming the baby finally came out and then Violet gently held the baby then a second Violet came closer and announced; "it's a girl " tjen suddenly everyone started panicking as the baby didn't cry and then i slowly lost consciousness " baby my baby whats wrong with her" that was the on the last thing i said before passing out.

The sunlight hit my eye lids as I slowly opened them only to close it again as the light was to strong then I heard some voices as they spoke I recognized one of the voices as that of Violet and slowly opened them up then felt my throat as dry as the desert.

" Water " murmured and soon a cup of water was given to me and I gulped it down quickly . finally feeling better I felt the horrible pain that passed through my body especially my down part.

" Be careful Dehlia you are still to weak as you just gave birth " Violet said

Give birth ? Then . All the memories of the past day came rushing back ." My baby where is she,is she alive let me see her" I pleaded as I held Violet arm she was my new glimmer of life and if she was gone I wouldn't know what to do.

" It's alright " a second Violet came in with Harper close to her . I look at her and back to Violet in confusion and they both giggled.

"Dehlia meet my twin sister Victoria , the oldest princess of the land . Violet introduced and I nodded and then she came closer of to me and handed the baby to me and I stared at her with tears in my eyes and I hugged her tight .

" Am an aunty" Harper said and we all laughed.

" Where's A--his magesty" I asked as I breast fed the baby

" He - he is at war " Victoria said with a sad face

Why did what she say hurt me so much I his wife who was in labour and in so much pain he left to go for war I don't know why it hurt so much as I was just like his slave and a breeding partner not his actual wife

" Are you okay " Victoria asked with a worried face

" No it's alright" I responded with a fake smile

" Besides how old are you Dehlia your breasts are too little" Violet asked staring at my breast.

" I am turning 16 this year " I responded and both the sisters turned pale

" 16 but you look older and Ares has to explain how he married a 15 year old girl and made her have a baby at this age" Victoria calmly said as she looked as cold as snow and the room turned cold , Harper who was asleep moved uncomfortably and the baby started crying.

" Sister please control your anger you will soon make the kids wake up and look the baby is crying

" Hush Emerald" I said to the baby

" Emerald" they both repeated

" Yes I would name her Emerald Margaret Logan" I said with a smile as they looked at me with teary eyed and they silently sat close to me and held my hand

" Yes , that's a pretty name " they said as tears ran down their faces
