Chapter 8 A special bun in the oven

A year had passed since Anastasia and Joe got married and began their lives together. Each and every day they loved each other more and more. Anastasia really got the hang of baking and learning how to be tidier but of course Joe didn't leave his wife to do all of the house work. One day while Anastasia and Joe were taking out some bread fresh from the oven Cinderella sent a message to the couple. "Oh wow it's the royal messenger I wonder what is going on?" The couple both thought as the royal messenger said, "Princess Cinderella and Prince Kit request the audience of her sister and brother in law to join the royal couple for tea this afternoon at 3pm." "That's sounds delightful we would love to go" Joe and Anastasia said as they gladly accepted the invitation to tea at the palace. Joe decided to make some lovely tea cakes. Anastasia was about to help her husband when all of a sudden she started feeling some stomach pain. "Anastasia are you alright?" Joe asked as he went to Anastasia's side to help her sit down. "I'm fine. I've just been having these weird stomach pains. Don't worry I'll be ok. I don't want to miss having tea with Cinderella. It's been a while since I've seen my sister and I'm curious to know what she wants to tell us both" Anastasia assured her husband. "Well if you're sure but if you continue to feel like this I'm taking you to the doctor" Joe stated. Anastasia was fine with that as they headed to the royal palace. "Welcome you two. I'm glad the both of you could join us. Cinderella and I have something very exciting to tell you please come with me to the tea room" Said Prince Kit as he escorted them. Anastasia and Joe sat down and placed the basket of tea cakes they brought on the table. "Anastasia and Joe I'm so glad you two could come. Kit and I have some really important news that we wanted to tell you both" Cinderella said as she greeted her sister and brother in law. The couple wondered what Cinderella and Kit wanted to tell them until they both noticed that Cinderella's stomach was slightly big. "Oh my god you're pregnant aren't you?" Anastasia and Joe both asked in shock. "Yes I am. Kit and I are going to have a baby and we want the both of you to be the godparents when our son or daughter is born what do you say?"

"We would be honored to be your child's godparents" Anastasia answered when all of a sudden she started having stomach pains again and this time Anastasia was in a bit more pain. "Anastasia what's wrong are you ok?" Cinderella asked as she became very concern. "That's it you need to see a doctor right away" said Joe as he and Cinderella helped Anastasia up. "I'll summon the royal doctor right away" Kit stated as he sent for the doctor who came right away. When the royal doctor arrived he began to exam Anastasia and both Joe and Anastasia began to tell the doctor what was wrong. When he was finish examining Anastasia the doctor said, "I've seen these symptoms before and you're going to be fine because you're pregnant congratulations." Cinderella, Kit, Anastasia and Joe were all in shock. "We're going to be parents?!" Anastasia asked finally as she and her family were in shock to hear the good news. Joe was so stun that he fainted. A short while later Joe finally woke up after a bit of water was thrown at his face. "I'm going to be a father! Anastasia I promise to take very good care of you as you carry our baby" Joe proudly said. "Well that's good to hear and it looks like Cinderella and I both have a special bun in the oven" Anastasia smiled as everyone in the room laughed at what Anastasia said because it was funny. Anastasia and Joe couldn't wait to become parents and started preparing for the day their new son or daughter would come into the world.
