Last chapter for the night, hope you all like it!
Thanks :)
"Ladies and gentleman, we have an heir!" Everyone burst into cheers and congratulated us.
"Congratulations Bella!" Alice grabbed my arms and smiled at me.
"Thank you." She kissed my cheeks and I saw the tears form at her eyes.
"Ali what's wrong." She smiled and patted my cheek.
"Mom and dad would be so proud of you." I let a tear slip and pulled her into a tight hug.
"I love you Ali." She smiled and patted my back.
"I love you more baby sister." I grinned at her and then turned to see Edward talking with a group of men.
"Have you heard anything from the king of France?" Tanya pulled my arm and I turned and raised an eyebrow.
"No…" She gasped and pulled me down a hall way.
"I've heard word that he is here. The king! He came to personally speak with the king." I gasped and glanced down.
"You must help me prepare." She nodded and we hurried to my room. She braided the front of my hair back and we placed small flowers in it. Alice dressed me in a silver and blue dress and laced me up gently.
"No corset, the baby." She nodded and pulled the fabric as tight as she could.
"You look skinny without it." I nodded and stared nervously in the mirror and then squared my shoulders.
"How do I look?" She glanced at me and smiled.
"Like a queen." I grinned and heard a knock at my door.
"Enter." Carlisle came in with a grin.
"His majesty has sent this for you to put on." He handed me a box and I opened it slowly. I gasped and saw his mothers' tiara.
"He said the people already view you as the queen and this way you shall be treated as her." I nodded and watched as Tanya slipped the shimmering tiara into place. It fit me perfectly and I smiled at my reflection.
"Prepare Rosalie." Tanya grabbed my arm and I patted her cheek.
"She must look like a princess, she won't be leaving us." She nodded and hurried off.
"Ready my queen?" I smiled at Carlisle and nodded.
"Yes, go I'll be right behind you." He nodded and kissed my forehead.
"Carry yourself with grace." I patted his arm and glanced in the mirror. I looked like a different woman as I wore the crown. I smiled and then hurried out of my room. I walked down the empty halls and waited at the doors.
"Open them." The guards nodded and swung both doors open. Everyone spun to see me enter and I saw Edward's eyes light up. I walked forward gracefully and curtsied before the two kings. I rose slowly and my eyes locked with the Frenchman's.
"I see this is Isabella." I smiled and moved next to Edward.
"Your majesty it's an honor to meet you." He kissed my hand I Edward slipped on arm around my waist.
"I have just heard the news, congratulations." I smiled and thanked him.
"My lady, may I have this dance?" I nodded and took his hand carefully. Edward sat at his throne and watched as I spun across the floor with the king of France.
"I have heard the people talk, they love you and yet you aren't even queen yet." I nodded and gave a small smile.
"I may not be queen, but I know how to act as one." He laughed and then spun me once more.
"I would hardly call being with child before your marriage a queenly act." I gasped at his harsh words and tried to smile.
"Perhaps you wouldn't, but then again you see marriage as a form of allegiance. Why not sign a treaty? It would be just as useful." The king grinned at me and another song started.
"Well Bella…" I smiled and shook my head.
"Isabella if you please." He gave me a wry smile.
"Isabella, marriage cannot be broken treaties can." I nodded and then glanced at Edward. His face was tense as he watched us.
"We have offered our adopted daughter in marriage…" He nodded and then gave me a smile.
"Yes well unfortunately she isn't of royal blood." I nodded and tried to keep up my façade.
"She is a princess of the people, one they would follow in a heartbeat. The people love me so much because I am one of them, your people will follow her willingly, and perhaps someday ours will too." He thought at that and shook his head.
"My other sons are already promised; just the oldest hasn't been married." I smiled and we spun.
"Then marry him to our Rosalie, there is no one who compares to her in beauty, and she will be taught anything you wish." His eyes landed on her as she stood next to Tanya and I saw his eyes soften.
"She is quiet pretty for a child." I nodded and knew I was gaining ground.
"She is bound to have many children, she is just a child and yet she has the hips of a woman." He nodded and appraised her again.
"I will speak with the king about it." I nodded and then a thought entered my mind.
"You were lucky I can control my temper, the King however will not. Do not mention anything negative about me being with child or I can promise you he won't agree to a treaty." His eyes widened and then a smile played on his lips.
"If I didn't know any better I would think you were threatening me." I smiled sweetly at the king.
"No, just warning you." I pulled from his arms and dropped into a curtsy.
"If you'll excuse me I must speak with the king." He nodded and I tiredly walked up to my throne. Edward took my hand carefully and kissed it.
"What happened?" I smiled and leaned back into my chair.
"He is considering Rosalie." He glanced at my face and then brushed my cheek.
"What did he say that is bothering you?" I tried to smile but knew it wouldn't reach my eyes.
"Nothing your majesty, I'm just tired." He studied my face and scowled at me.
"I'll find out." I shrugged and touched his shoulder.
"Don't upset him, we need the treaty." He laughed and pulled me to dance with him.
"We need nothing; he is the one who fears us." I smiled weakly and leaned my head against his shoulder. He glanced down at me curiously and touched my cheek.
"Do you feel alright?" I nodded and he brushed his finger tips across my cheek.
"Just tired." He watched my eyes and frowned.
"You're ill." I shook my head and straightened a little.
"I'm fine. Don't bring attention to something that isn't a problem." He frowned at me again and kissed my forehead.
"I'm going to retire, talk to the king." He frowned at me and kissed me gently on the lips.
"Goodnight my queen." I grinned against his lips.
"Goodnight Edward." He smiled at me and I walked slowly back to my room. I quickly slipped out of my dress and slipped into my bed. I crawled into his bed and curled up in the middle. A shiver ripped through me and I pulled the blankets around me.
"Bella?" The door creaked open and I groaned. Tanya gasped and flew to my side.
"Bella! Can you hear me?" I tried to sit up but I couldn't bring myself to move.
"Get Edward…" I groaned again and looked up at her. She nodded and quickly ran through the hidden door.
"Your majesty!" She yelled and I feared she would wake him. I heard him ask what was wrong and then he hurried into the room.
"Bella!" He was at my side in a second and cupped my cheek.
"Get a doctor!" Tanya flew off and I looked up at him.
"Edward…" He leaned down and kissed my forehead and I rolled away from him.
"Go, you'll get sick." He looked panicked as I tried to shoo him away. I struggled to sit up and fell back against my pillows.
"I'm not leaving you." I groaned again and curled up as a shiver ripped through me.
"Your majesty! You mustn't be here!" The doctor came quickly and looked terrified.
"She is three weeks with child, you must help her." The doctor looked at me and felt my forehead.
"She's burning up… I don't know if I can save the child." Tears slipped down my cheeks and Edward looked at me in horror.
"You must save her." The doctor looked painfully at him and then back to me.
"I'll try your majesty." I begged Edward to leave, but he refused to move from my side. The doctor worked around me in a frenzy.
"I'm going to bleed her." I shook my head.
"The child needs the blood, no." He glanced at Edward in shock.
"I can't save the child if I don't save you." I threw my head against my pillow.
"No!" He sighed and turned to Edward.
"I can't help her…" Edward jumped up and took my hand.
"Bella darling, we have to save you." Tears slipped down my burning cheeks and I looked into his perfect eyes.
"I am not being bled." He sighed and laid his head in my hands. He glanced at the doctor and he shook his head.
"We must quarantine her." Edward nodded and looked painfully at me.
"I love you. Go." Tears poured down his cheeks and he slowly stood.
"Do whatever you can for her." He kissed my forehead and then spun and left me. The doctor ordered a fire to be lit and he covered me in blankets. I was freezing, but my body began sweating. He said we needed to sweat out the fever and then I would start getting better. The fever burned through me and I feared my child would die. If I died, so would Edward. He would be a puppet of the government and the resistance would quickly take over. I needed to live, not only for Edward, but for all of England.
Okay so I didn't want to make Bella get sick but it just sort of happened. Please review!
