Chapter 2: Welcome to the world

It was a beautiful day in Minecraft Kingdom. The sun was shining gently down the fresh green grass, the butterflies were like dancing with the pretty blooming flowers. Ah… such a beautiful sight.

Under a tree of a big tree in the park, there sat Ellegaard, Petra and Jesse, along with Lyrica, who was lying in her mother's arms. Her blond hair brushed against Jesse's arms and barely reached her shoulders, a butterfly flew across her emerald eyes that she got from her mother.

"What do you say when you hear a hilarious joke?" Petra said, she crossed her legs.

"I don't know." Ellegaard said.

"Me either. What do you say, then?" Asked Jesse.

"You say: 'It's so punny'."

Then, the three girls burst into laughter. After they had stopped laughing, Ellegaard smiled at the others.

"I love hanging with you guys. It's so much fun and relax after a long time working."

"Yeah." Said Petra. "I wish the Axel and Olivia can come, too. But they're busy…"

Ellegaard was still smiling, but suddenly a small pain rushed over her body. She put one hand on her forehead, sweats started to ran down her face. "Ah…!"

Hearing her small voice, Petra and Jesse turned to her and their face became worried when they saw her tired face so sudden. Jesse leaned over a bit to her.

"Oh my, Ellegaard. Are you alright there?"

"I… I'm… f… fine…"

Unable to stay still anymore, she collapsed. But good thing that Petra caught her in time.

"Ellegaard!" They both yelled.

"You don't like fine at all, Ellegaard." Petra said as she looked down at the queen, who now was resting her head against her chest. "You should see the doctor."

"Ye… yeah, I guess I have to…" She replied weakly.


Magnus was sitting on the bench in the garden, on his hand was his favorite book "Facts about TNT". Although he wasn't a thief anymore, but he still liked reading it. He didn't know why, though. But anyway, when he flipped one page, he heard footsteps approaching him. He looked up to see his wife, Ellegaard.

"Ah, you're back, darling. How was your time with your friends?"

No answer.

"Darling?"

He still got no answer from her. Now, he noticed that she was looking down, her bang covered her face; her hands were behind her back. She seemed… unusual, and this made him worried. She always came back with a cheerful smile. He then stood up and walked closer to her, she didn't move an inch.

"Ellegaard?"

She still stayed silent. He put his hands on both of her shoulders once he was right in front of her.

"Ellegaard, what happened? You're making me worry."

Finally, she managed to stutter out some words.

"I… I just went to the doctor and… and… I discovered that…"

He didn't say anything and waited patiently for her to finished, although inside his mind, he was urging her.

"I… I'm… I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant?" He asked, he was a little shocked. "Sweetie, if so then why are you so scared?"

"I… I'm scared because…" Tears started to form on her eyes. "I fear that I can't protect it. What if… something bad happens and I… I lose it?"

Then, she covered her face with her hands and muffled into them. He, however, stayed calm and spoke in a gentle voice, which made her to remove her hands and look at him.

"Ellegaard, you're the strongest girl I have ever known and loved. You are the only one that can melt my cold heart. Outside you're beautiful and kind, but in the inside you're strong and full of will. I'm sure it'll be alright."

She continued to stare at him with teary eyes; he used one hand to wipe it.

"So don't cry anymore, okay?" He said.

She didn't say anything for a while, but she smiled at him eventually. "Thank you."

"I'm your husband, darling. I always make sure you always feel safe and happy. And beside…" He paused to hug her. "I have always wanted a child, don't you remember that?"

She smiled as she hugged him back.


"Oh, you kicked me again, huh?" Ellegaard said happily as she looked at her belly while walking along the hallway. "You're so playful-"

"ELLEGAARD! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Ellegaard jumped as soon as she heard the sudden yell from behind her. She turned around to see Magnus ran toward her, sweats ran down his face.

"I'm here, Magnus." She said. Magnus huffed once he was in front of her, hands on his knees.

"T… *huff* Thank god… *huff* I… found… *huff* you…"

"Is there something?" She asked.

"Nothing. It's just that… I always have to be by your side."

"I told you, I'll be fine."

"No! Ellie, you're nine months pregnant now! What could happen when I'm not with you!?"

She didn't say anything, instead, she put a hand on his shoulder. "Magnus, everything will be fine, I promise."

He looked at her for a while, but calmed down eventually. "Okay then… I guess that I overreacted."

She smiled, suddenly, a wave of huge pain rushed over her and she yelped. "Ah!"

He quickly held her. "Ellegaard, what's wrong?!"

She was only able to look at him painfully. His face became pale once he realized what was happening.

"Servants! SERVANTS!"


"Her Highness!" Lukas opened the door loudly, causing Magnus to turn around. He saw that Ellegaard was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she seemed exhausted.

"Lukas?" Magnus said surprisingly.

"I… I heard *huff* about the queen so I… I… *huff*" His face was filled with sweats.

"Don't worry, it's fine now."

Now, Lukas noticed that Magnus was holding a bundle in his arms, and he knew what it was. "His Higness, is that…?"

"Yes." Magnus smiled and Lukas looked inside to see a little baby boy with brown hair was sleeping peacefully. He smiled as he kneeled down, so his face was the same level as the baby's.

"Greeting, little prince. I'm Lukas, the Captain of the Royal guard. Pleased to meet you."

Ellegaard opened her eyes slowly and once her vision was clear, she spun her head and saw Magnus. She said weakly.

"Magnus…"

He turned around and smile to her. "Darling, you're awake."

"Is… is that…?"

"Yes, it's our son."

"L…let me… hold him…"

He gave the bundle to her and she held it gently, a smile formed on her lips and tears of joy was flowing down her face. She was a mother now.

"So… what will you two named him?" Lukas questioned.

"Well, we have decided that if the baby's male then we'll named him Aaren."

"Aaren? Nice name."

"Well, Aaren…" Ellegaard mumbled while smiling down to the baby gently, tears still ran down. "Welcome to the world."


Sorry if the joke didn't make you laugh. I SUCK at writing them.
