Disclaimer: I do not own the Selcetion. Heres the next chapter! thanks for reviewing! keep it up!

I am sitting in the woman's room speaking with some of the royal women of Germany while Maxon does the dirty work with the men of Germany in his office. Why is there no clock in this room? I must have been in here for two hours at least! It's not the german ladies are boring, its just I can't understand a word they are saying. I mostly work on my needlework and try to make small talk and smile and nod. Man, I am definitely going to invest in some language lessons soon. Just as I am about to put the last stitch on a purple flower I feel bile rise up. I quickly excuse myself, trying my best not to offend the ladies, and nearly run to the bathrooms. Once I am in there I throw up in the toilet. This is disgusting. That's the third time this week. wait. No, this isn't right. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but holy crap! Am I pregnant? I take a deep breath to calm myself down. No, it's probably some bad chicken I had. But Maxon is going to be so excited! Holy shit! I don't want this! But Maxon! I try to slow down all of these thoughts in my head and think of a plan. My plan for right now is to not get my hopes up and talk to a doctor soon and not tell Maxon.

What was I thinking? I was and still am so scared of the thought of rebels harming my children but I have one perfect dream and decide its all okay? God, why must I be so impulsive! I rub my hands down my face and leave the bathroom before the German ladies think I ditched them. And man do I want to right now.

After what seems like forever the german officials leave the palace. I feel so relieved to just have some time to myself to just think about the crap situation I threw myself into. I sigh and sit in the window seat watching all the gardeners go about their business. Oh god. It's not that I don't want children but is this really the place to raise them? Once they turn ten they will have to start lessons about being proper and how to be the next king and I don't want that for my children. I want them to be happy and live the life they want to live. Ugh I have to get up before I start to think more about this. I mean there's no going back now. Whats done is done.

While Maxon finishes up some business stuff before dinner I go over to the hospital wing. I just can't wait a whole week to find out if I am carry Maxon's baby. Our baby. Now the only problem is finding a way I can get this check up without causing gossip all around the palace. I go to the front and ask for the head doctor she just nods and leads me to his office without a problem. I guess when your queen no one questions you. Huh, this is nice.

When I reach his office I am slightly freaking out about the right way of going about his situation. I am still working on my royal mask that Maxon, but mine is obviously not as good as his, for the doctor notices somethings off.

"Y-Your Majesty, is everything alright" He says as he bows.

"Well, I need a check-up..." I say a little quieter than normal. I check to make sure that the door is closed before adding "I think I may be pregnant."

Its almost funny how big the doctors eyes got, but he didn't say a word he just went right to work. He asks me a whole bunch of questions about what I am feeling and a whole bunch of stuff I could care less about. When he finally confirms that I am in fact pregnant.

I don't know why but the actual news coming from a doctor hits me very hard. I sit there for a second and take it all in. Oh shit. what have I gotten myself into. Even though I have thought about his over and over again, all the thoughts about the problems of having children and then the good stuff that will come from having children resurface. I must look strange or scared because the doctor touches my arm and asks if I'm okay. That's when I realize I am crying. Okay, I have to get out of this hospital right now.

As I am coming out of the hospital I run straight into Maxon. Just my luck.

"America! what are you doing over here? You were supposed to meet me in the gardens forty five minutes ago." Oh, well that explains why he looked so relieved to see me.

"Oh, sorry. I guess I forgot" I say hoping he wont question me. But Maxon is not one to let anything go.

"Have you been crying?" He asks his eyes searching mine, worry creeping into his features. He comes and puts his hands on my face. Oh great, this is just getting worse and worse. "America, tell me whats wrong." he is almost pleading. I hate it when he worries about me.

"Nothing Maxon, it's alright. I'm alright." As much as I say it I know he will never believe me. He knows me better than anyone now. So I decide theres no way I am going to get away with not telling him right here and right now. I wrap my arms around his waist and hide my face in his shoulder. If I am going to tell him there is n o way I will let him see my face. He rubs my back a little to fast to soothe. I can tell he is still worrying about me. "Maxon, I'm pregnant."

I can feel his hands stop moving across my back. He doesn't say anything. I pull back to see his face. Surely he would have been excited to here the news. When I look into his eyes I see confusion and then some hurt. Oh, no.

"You don't want a baby." he says slowly. Oh great. This is not what I wanted him to think at all. I have to fix this now.

I put my hands on his face and stare into his eyes willing him to understand. "Maxon. Don't think for a second I don't love this child with all of my heart. I do, and I know you do too. I'm just scared right now, thats all." Maxon nods slowly then pulls me roughly into his arms.

"Oh, America. I love you. It's going to be okay. We are going to give this child the best life and we will protect him. I will never let anything harm you two. I have a family now and nothing will get in the way of my family. I love you both so much." His voice wavers a bit on the last part. I love this man so much. He knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. And I know we will be safe as long as I have Maxon around.

I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible cramps. I am only twelve weeks pregnant and barely showing. I pry Maxon's arms off from around me and go in the bathroom to take a hot shower to help soothe the pain. In the shower I notice some blood dripping down from in between my legs. I immediately start to panic. I get out of the shower and yell for Maxon. He comes running in the bathroom with worry painted on his face. When he sees me He runs over to me and asks me what wrong.

" I am just bleeding and I don't kno-" I am cut off when I feel another terrible cramp and more blood is starting to come out. Maxon is panicking. He is trying to calm me down as he yells for guards. Maxon takes me in his arms and is whispering calming things into my ear while we wait for the guards. I can't even think right now. What is going on? What about the baby? I start to cry and that soon turns into sobbing. Maxon is trying to stay calm but I know he is terrified. I am terrified. Here I am laying on the bathroom floor with blood all around me and I am sobbing into his chest. The guards come bursting threw the doors right as I feel another excruciating cramp. The pain is just too much for me. As the guards take me from Maxon's arms I black out.
