A few hours after they arrived at the hospital, Edvard was finally allowed to see Paige, as she was much better now. Edvard stood before the door, and thought for a moment, for the last moments before he had to confront his wife on what actually happened. He kept telling himself that it was just an accident, that she would never, but he felt in his gut that maybe being a queen and trying to become a mom was too much pressure for her. He took a deep breath, reached for the knob, and turned it.
He walked in slowly to see his wife curled up in a ball sobbing. He began to walk faster, until she spun around quickly in her bed, startled. "Eddie! What happened to me? Why am I here? Am I ok? Was I in an accident? Are you ok?" Paige then saw the look on Eddie's face and became very upset and scared. "My darling, do you remember anything?" he replied. "no. not a thing. I am going to ask you one more time, what happened to me?" she said trying not to cry. "I found you on the floor of our bathroom, unconscious, in a pool of blood. You slit your wrist." Paige stopped, she looked as though she was going to say something but then held her tongue with a very stern and confused face. "you mean I? But why would I? No this cant be true Eddie I would never." "Paige its ok, just relax, I know being a queen can be very stressful. I also don't blame you for us not being able to have a baby yet. Its no one's fault. I just… Why didn't you talk to me?" "Get out." Paige said with a very displeased face. "I said, GET OUT!" Eddie left the room, with a confused mind. He gently closed the door behind him. He heard her sobbing in the room. Eddie turned back around and went in the room, laid down next to Paige and held her in his arms.
"Eddie I didn't try to kill myself. I would never do that, not even on my worst days because I have you. I know you're by my side in the good, and in the bad. If I didn't commit suicide, then what really happened to me?" "I'm afraid that you're the only one who can answer that right now my love." He then kissed her softly and wiped away her tears. "How bout we get some sleep ok?" he said softly. "I love you so much Eddie I hope you know that I would never leave you in such a way." "I know. I know."
They laid down together and slept on the hospital bed until they were awoken by a nurse. "Excuse me your majesties but I am here to check on the queen" she said softly. "that's fine, I'll give you two some privacy" Eddie said as he kissed Paige softly on the head. He left the room and closed the door behind him. "So how did he take the news, is he excited?" "I actually I haven't told anyone just yet I needed just a few minutes to clear the air about the whole 'attempted suicide' thing." They both laughed as the nurse took her vitals. "actually I was thinking maybe I should wait to tell him, and surprise him at the palace, with a pregnancy test and everything." Paige said asking advice from the nurse. "With all do respect your majesty I think you should tell him here. I'm sure he will ask if the baby is ok from lack of blood in your body. You, knowing that the baby is fine for now, have reassurances he doesn't. Surely he will ask for tests to be done and so forth. But what I can do is get a pregnancy test and a few cute baby things so you can surprise him here." The nurse seemed to have a very honored tone. "You would do that for me?" "of course! You are my queen and a fellow woman. I would be honored to help tell the King about his first heir." "very well then, lets do this thing."
A few hours later the nurse returned with the test and baby clothes in a gift wrapped box. "I went ahead and put took the test in the urine sample you gave this morning , and it was positive, surprise, surprise." "Great. He just left to go get some dinner and he should be back any minute. God, I'm so nervous or anxious rather. How should I give it to him?" Before Paige had the chance to think about it, Eddie had begun to enter the room. His hands were full so he had to open the door with his back towards them. Paige and the nurse began to play "hot potato" with the gift until the nurse laid it on the floor.
"Hi dear!" she said anxiously. "im sorry was I interrupting something?" "no, no, the queen and I were just chit chatting about when she could share the news… about when she could go back to the palace."she said with emphasis on the share the news part as in to tell the king about the baby. "Right. Well when can she go home?" "Anytime tonight or tomorrow morning. Well I will give you two some privacy." She said with a wink as she walked out the door.
"What was that all about?" Eddie said jokingly. "Oh nothing. Can you do me a favor?" Paige said nervously. "Anything." Paige then pointed towards the side of the bed. "Can you grab the box right there?" "what's this? A gift?" "In its own crazy way yes, a gift." He slowly pulled the bow off the gift and smiled with great joy. "Are you serious? Are we pregnant?" Eddie began to cry, and laugh, then cry again. Then attacked Paige with hugs and kisses. "Is the baby ok from the accident? No problems?" "not so far but the doctors believed that's why I passed out. The baby was in EDD (early development distress)." "Maybe we should get some tests done, check on everything." "Eddie the doctors have done all of the tests that put the baby in no harm. Some tests are better done later on in the pregnancy." "if you're sure… god I'm so happy!"
