Hey Readers: So this is my first fanfiction so it might be rough at first. I hope to update this story at least once a week but with school starting soon I might not be able to. I know this chapter is short but the ones after it will be much longer, I just wrote this little piece to see how people like it.
Chapter 1:
It's been a week since Maxon's party and he's still as excited for the baby as he was when I first told him. It's been a pain trying to get him to keep it a secret from everyone for this long. Maxon has even bought me several pregnancy and baby books that he has already started reading last night. Although Maxon insists that I take it easy for the next 8 months, I've been busier than ever. Between the New Asian war, southern rebels and working on demolishing the castes, I've been working from 8am to 11pm every day. I only saw Maxon during meetings, or whatever meals we both weren't busy. At night we would spend time together if he wasn't late coming to bed.
I wake up to the sunlight coming through the windows of the king suite. As I look at the clock next to the bed to see that it's already past 8. 'He must let me sleep in again' I thought. Although we do has separate rooms we rarely sleep alone, especially now. I wish I could just lie in bed all day, but the baby has other morning plans. I bolt from the bed into the bathroom and puke up all the remaining contains of food from last night into the toilet. I hear the door open and out of the corner of my eye I see Mary come in. "I just came to look for you when I heard noises in here. Do you feel well enough to go to your duties or shall I order you breakfast and you stay in bed?" I half considered Mary offer as I stood up and started to clean myself up. I knew that if I stayed in bed Maxon would worry too much and I had lots to do today. "I'm fine Mary; just help me get ready please and send my breakfast to my study". Mary took me to my suite and ran me a scented bath. Afterwards she got me a pastel purple dress to wear. The dress had thin straps and went to my knees; it had a white ribbon around my waist that tied in a bow on my back. "I love the dress, as usual" I gushed to Mary. She put my hair in to a French braid as she told me all the gossip around the palace lately; she confirmed that no one suspected my pregnancy.
As I enter my study, I notice Marlee with a breakfast tray and Kile in her arms. "America, I wasn't sure you were coming until a maid came in with your breakfast tray. Also there are many documents for you to look at today, so it will be a late night or work during lunch and dinner" I laughed at her as she attempted to pour tea and hold Kile. "I figured it would be a busy day but I was hoping for more Maxon time today." I happily took Kile and bounced him on my hip as Marlee finished getting breakfast ready. "More Maxon time, I think you mean more baby making time" Marlee winked. Marlee has yet to find out about the baby. I know she'll be excited when we tell her and Carter. I blush thinking about it and started walking to my desk when Silvia ungracefully ran into my study. "Your Majesty, there was an attack on three provinces last night. It is assumed that it was the rebels. There's a meeting you must attend now…" I was in complete shock. Three provinces, there was never an attack at the same time in completely different places; especially by the rebels. I didn't even realise Marlee took Kile out of my arms or that Silvia was still telling me details about the attack until I heard "Carolina". "What about Carolina!" I demanded. "There was one of the attacks there, America" Marlee whispered as Kile played with her hair. Silvia looked at her shoes as she realized the importance of the place. Aspen and Lucy were visiting his family there for the week! I quickly ran from the room as Marlee and Silvia called out after me. I almost made it to the meeting when the baby decided to overreact to the situation. I fell to the ground and puke what little that was in my stomach. I realized I had yet to eat anything today and running while pregnant was not a good idea. I felt light headed as I heard guards scream to someone to get Maxon. I heard someone's heels banging against the floor as I felt someone lift me up off the ground seconds later. As I was being carried who knows where, I felt my eyes slowly starting to get heavy and as I blacked out. The thought of Aspen and Lucy dead was all I could picture in my head.
So I hope you guys liked this first chapter and I will post again soon :)
