Chapter 3:
Maxine POV:
I didn't care what the doctor said. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my cape and went to town. I swear I'm going to kill Nicholas. How dare he get engaged to another woman, especially when he said he loved me?
When I got to the shop Nicholas was working on a sword. Some of his luscious black hair was spilling out of his ponytail. He looked up at me and he smiled then frowned when he realized my face was not happy. I walked up to him and slapped him hard. He cupped his cheek.
"How dare you!" I yelled. He motioned with his hands to quiet down but that's never going to happen.
"You are getting married?" he took my hand and led me to the back. The place where we shared so much love, now I can't even bare to look at him. He started to kiss me but I pushed him back.
"Explain yourself, now," I demanded. He sighed.
"She came to the shop hoping to look at your bracelet; I said it was supposed to be a surprise. But then she started talking about that wasn't really the reason why she came. She grabbed the back of my neck and she kissed me. I tried to stop her but I couldn't help myself. It's gone on for a week and I finally popped the question. Why do you care? Your getting married in a month, anyways," he said and I burst into tears. He put his hand on my shoulders to comfort me, I didn't pull away.
"Nicholas, you can't get married to Lissa, you just can't," I said through my tears.
"Why can't I?" he said. I looked up from my hands, which were covered in tear, and looked at him.
"Because I'm pregnant. And it's yours," I said then I started to cry again. He stepped back and leaned against the wall.
Nicholas POV:
I look up from my work thinking I would see my fiancé in the doorway. Unfortunately I find the princess in the door way with an expression that says 'I'm going to kill you'. She came over to me and slapped me across the face. I cupped my cheek because the sting killed
"How dare you!" She yells. People across the way stared and I motion her to quiet down. But of course she doesn't.
"You are getting married?" she asks and I lead her into the back. I kiss her but then she pushes me away. Wow she's strong.
"Explain yourself, now," and I did. I explained that Lissa came and told she me she wanted to see the bracelet then we started kissing and I finally popped the question a week later. Then she started crying. I tried to comfort her.
"Nicholas, you can't get married to Lissa, you just can't," she said.
"Why can't I?" I asked.
"Because I'm pregnant. And it's yours," she said. Those words hit me like a rock, I stared at her wide eyed and jaw dropped. I felt like I was going to faint so leaned against the wall for support. I can't be the father of this child, especially if it's the princess' child. I'll be hanged or beheaded, what did I get myself into? Sure if she was a regular girl I would marry her in a heartbeat. But since a) she's a princess and I'm a blacksmith b) she's already engaged to a prince and c) I'm getting married to Lissa.
"What are we going to do?" I asked. She looked up and I went over to her and hugged her. She dug her head into my shoulder.
"We are going to get through this," I said and she nodded her head. She stepped away from me and smiled.
"Let's run away together," she said.
