LONG LIVE
Chapter 35: Maybe this time love won't end
She's smilin' like she used to smile way back then
She's feelin' like she used to feel way back when
They tried, but somethin' kept them
Waiting for this magic moment
Maybe this time
It'll be lovin' they'll find
Maybe now they can be more than just friends
She's back in his life
And it feels so right
Maybe this time love won't end
NICK'S POV
I just got back to our own palace and I kept thinking about Miley and our daughter. I walked inside the house I share with Selena and just as I expected, she ran to me at the moment I entered the house.
"Oh my God, Nick! Are you okay?" said Selena. Yeah, she's like that. She easily gets worried over everything.
"Of course I'm okay, Sel."
"Alright, are you hungry? Do you want me to get the cook?"
"No, I'm full. I had lunch in the car."
"Okay, sweetie."
We walked to our room and sat there to talk.
"You wanna talk, right?"
"Yeah... I don't know how to say it."
"It's just me, Sel. You could tell me anything."
"I want a divorce, Nick. I want to be free again, you know?"
My eyes got wide. I didn't expect this coming from her. I got surprised but I know I want it too, "I want a divorce too."
"You do?" she asked questioningly.
I smiled at her, "Yeah, I want both of us to be happy. We both know that we aren't meant to be together."
She nodded her head, "So what are we gonna do? I don't know how to file a divorce."
"We'll Google it later," I said while searching for any hint of doubt in her eyes. I found none.
She turned and smiled at me, "You weren't a bad husband, Nick."
I wrapped an arm around her, "You weren't a bad wife too, in fact, I love having you as my wife, but we're just not meant for each other."
"I know. Nick?" asked Selena.
I looked at her, "Yeah?"
"I have to tell you something very important."
The days passed by. Selena and I secretly filed a divorce. I helped her with her morning sickness; I know her baby's not mine but I still want to keep her healthy and safe. Selena and I are like best friends; plus the benefits. I care for her and she cares for me, that's our relationship; nothing else. Above all of these, I kept talking to Miley and Kate everyday; I totally miss them.
Selena and I went inside the room where OUR parents are waiting. We saw them happily chatting. Little do they know that they won't be able to chat this often anymore when Selena and I tell them the news.
Dad seemed to notice us since he got up and greeted us. Mom followed and so did Selena's parents.
"So what's the news you're going to tell us?" asked Sel's father, Prince Calvin.
My dad spoke up, holding back his excitement, "Are you two going to have a baby already?" he said as he smirked.
Selena and I nervously looked at each other for a second. She nodded and we both took deep breaths.
"We're getting a divorce," we both said at the same time.
Our dads got this surprised look on their faces, both looked pale and white. Our moms got both surprised and confused at the same time, they are like questioning us with the use of their facial expressions.
Just as what we both expected, our dads went furious with our decisions.
Dad was the first one who spoke, "What were you two thinking? Divorce? Really? Cancel the petition right now!" he said with his voice very angry.
Selena's dad got beet red with anger, "Selena! What did you just do, huh? You can't just divorce Nick. You're a princess and he's a prince! It's not that easy to handle all the problems we're going to deal with when it comes to the treasures and assets. You are one of the most powerful princesses today! You're going to be queen someday! Why do you have to throw that all away!"
Selena was a daddy's girl, I know this is hard for her but she spoke up, "That's all that matters to you, daddy! Treasure, assets, and power! I don't want any of those! I want to be married to the one I love! I don't love Nick! He doesn't love me too! Why do you have to force us?" she said in a very stern tone.
Prince Calvin slapped Selena in the face. All women in the room gasped. Selena cried while caressing her hurtful cheek. I pulled her in my arms in attempt to comfort her, but she just cried harder and her dad left the room.
My dad walked towards us, "You two are a disgrace! A disappointment in the family! If you two aren't going to push away those stupid feelings you have onto someone else, you aren't welcome in this family anymore. I want you two out of the palace if you are still going to continue the divorce," he said before he left the room.
I walked a crying Selena onto the couch and helped her sit down. I knelt in front of her and wiped her tears, "Shhhh... It'll be okay. Are you hurt? Please tell me if you're feeling any pain in your stomach," I whispered and she shook her head. I know that our moms are still in the room. I found Sel's mom, Princess Natalie on the couch beside Sel, and she hugged her daughter dearly.
"It's okay, baby girl," said the princess and I let Selena cry on her mother's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry I ruined everything, mom. Dad hates me now. He would never forgive me," Selena said to her mom.
The princess shook her head and wiped her daughter's tears, "He'll get over it. What's wrong, sweetie? I know you and Nick wouldn't do this except if there is something really wrong."
My mom walked over beside me and pulled me in a heartwarming hug, "Don't mind your father, he'll come around. What happened, Nicholas?" she asked in a very concerned tone.
"We could tell you, but please don't judge us just like what our dads did," said Selena in a very small voice.
Our moms agreed and they sat opposite me and Sel. I rubbed Selena's back to trying to comfort her as I started, "Sel and I never had a romantic relationship. We both love each other but we weren't in love. We really did the best we can to fall in love and give you grand children but we just can't grant you those things. Selena is perfect, I am very privileged to be her husband, she's very caring and loving."
"So what's the problem?" asked Sel's mom.
FLASHBACK
Selena and I were talking about our divorce and she told me that there is something very important that I should know. I waited for her to confess with such interest.
"Uhhh, I'm pregnant," said Selena nervously.
My mind got mixed up, "What? Oh wow."
She sighed, "I know. I got surprised too."
I scratched my head. I know we hadn't done IT for a while now, "Now, I don't know what to say. How did that happen? We hadn't done it for the last two months."
She looked at me with sorrowful eyes, "It's not yours, Nick. I've been seeing Justin for the past three weeks and we're still so in love and we just did it over and over again, not thinking of using protection because we both know I couldn't bear a child."
I breathed out in relief that I wasn't the father, "Wow Sel; that was a miracle."
She took my hand in hers, "I know, and I'm sorry. I'm taking all the blame. I won't argue if you plan to hate me," she said with glassy eyes.
I shook my head at the thought of hating on her, "Of course I won't hate you, Sel."
Her face showed confusion, "Why? I cheated on you, Nick. Wait, you aren't going to use this child as ours, do you?" she asked, horrified.
I just shook it off, "Wow, that was a good idea but no. I couldn't do that to you and Justin."
She wrapped her arms around my waist and I did the same to her.
I pulled away a bit, "I'll find a lawyer for our divorce, and we'll talk to our parents after we file the divorce, but we can't say you're pregnant, okay? I don't want you to be judged like that."
"You are so good to me, Nick. I thought you would be furious about it."
"I know how much you love Justin."
"How would you not know? I bragged about him too much, didn't I?" Selena smiled while I thought of our first days together; she talked about Justin and I talked about Miley. "Got any news from Miley?" she asked again.
I smiled, "Yes, we met on the charity event. You know the girl I told you that got in an accident? It was my daughter. She fell down the stairs when Miley and I were arguing in her house."
"Really? You saw them again? Tell me about your daughter! What's her name? What does she look like?" asked Selena with wide brown eyes filled with excitement.
I took out a picture of Kate from my wallet and showed it to Selena, "Beautiful isn't she?"
"She's beautiful," said Sel as she smiled widely, I know she loves kids and she's very excited to finally have a child.
"She's adorable, you gotta meet her," I said as a big smile formed on my face.
"I will," she paused as she smiled, "When everything's settled. I want to meet her."
END OF FLASHBACK
"I'm pregnant," Selena blurted out and our mothers got both confused and surprised at the same time.
"Why is that a problem?" asked my mother.
Selena held onto my hand tight and she held her breath, "It's not Nick's."
I squeezed her hand back to show her that I'll support her no matter what happens. I watched as our mom's faces fell and I spoke up for Selena, "After it was diagnosed that Sel can't bear a baby, we stopped doing IT. I know she doesn't love me so I granted her the freedom to date the one she loves which is Justin. It was both of our faults so please don't just put all the hate on Selena."
Princess Natalie shook her head and reached for her daughter's hands, "I'll always be here for you, baby girl. I could never hate you. I'm so sorry if I didn't fight for your right against your dad when he decided to push you with your marriage with Nick. You really love Justin, don't you?"
Selena nodded her head and hugged her mom, "Please don't tell dad about this. At least not now, he hates me and he doesn't want to see me. I don't know what to do," she sighed and looked at me, "It's pretty clear that we can't go back to our place, Nick."
Mom walked over to take Selena in a tight embrace, "It would be okay, honey. I'll help you two get through this. Don't worry about a place to stay."
Selena smiled at both of our mothers, "Thank you for understanding our situation. It really means a lot to me."
Both women smiled at both of us and mom spoke again, "You two could go away for a while; just let your fathers loosen up. Nick, you should take Selena to a safe place."
Selena's mom added, "Yes, but I'm going to call our trustworthy doctor to check-up on Selena and see if the baby's okay, but don't worry, I'll keep everything in the down low."
I nodded at their idea and I asked mom if I could speak with her for a while. Selena and her mom went out to have some mother-daughter time, but before that, Selena hugged me tight and said thank you and good luck talking to my mom. I know I wouldn't have a problem filling mom with details regarding my disappearance for two days.
"You met Miley?" Mom exclaimed after I told her that I met Miley and my daughter at the charity event. It was funny since she almost dropped the cup of tea that she was holding when I told her about the past few days. I showed her Kate's picture, she gushed over it. I can see that she's really excited to see her granddaughter, but we both know that it isn't possible yet. I've never seen her so excited in my whole life.
"Okay, change of plans. Since you and Selena's dad knew that you don't love each other anymore, if I were thinking like them, I would use Miley and Justin to blackmail you and Selena; I guess you have to take Miley and your daughter when you and Selena leave, she has to take Justin with her too."
"Do you think that's a good idea, mom?"
"Yeah, at least you could both keep your loved ones safe with you, right?"
"You're right, mom. Where are you planning to send us?"
"To a secret island in Dubai. Your dad doesn't know that I bought that place."
"The one where there are lots of islands around it?"
"Yeah, that one. That's the only place your dad won't find you."
Here I am with Selena and Justin in a bulletproof Chevrolet platinum with dark tinted windows. At last, I finally met Justin; Selena's true love. He's nice and I like him for Sel, he knows how to protect her since he was her bodyguard.
We just left the palace with our packed things and we're on our way to Miley's house. I called her earlier and told her to pack her and Kate's things because I'm taking the two of them with me in a private island. I didn't say where I'm taking them and who we're going to be with; I just told them to pack immediately.
MILEY'S POV
"Mommy? Where are we going?" asked my two year old daughter. Nick just called and told me that they're near our place already, so I dressed my little Katie.
"I don't know, baby, but it's gonna be fun since we're gonna be spending time with your dad," I said as I fixed her hair into pigtails.
"I'm so excited to see daddy!" said my little girl while jumping up and down. I smiled at Kate and gave her a kiss before guiding her down to the living room. We sat at the couch and my family gathered around the living room, giving me precautions and making sure that I got all that I need.
Nick's car arrived after a few minutes, and I got the gate open for the expensive car to enter. I was kinda surprised that he's got a van today because he usually use cars. I watched as the van stopped in front of our door and Nick came into view. I smiled happily when I saw him, and I heard Kate shout, "Daddy" the moment she ran towards him. Nick picked her up and kissed her on his way towards me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he wrapped one of his' around mine before we leaned in for a kiss. He said goodbye to my family and quickly led us to the van while the driver brought our luggage at the back.
Nick opened the car door for us and I went inside and got surprised and confused when I saw Nick's wife, Princess Selena face to face. There she is, sitting in front of me near the door beside a cute guy I don't know, while I stood here unmoving and speechless. She smiled at me and touched my hand; I got more surprised than ever.
"It's nice to meet you, Miley. I'm Selena," she said with a happy smile on her face. I can't believe how perfect she looked. "Come on in," she said as she initiated a greeting kiss.
I heard Nick whisper, "It's okay. It's just Selena. I'll explain on the way, just get in, baby," I sighed and got in. I picked up Kate from Nick and sat her beside me and Nick sat beside Kate.
I saw Selena smile when she noticed my little Kate, "Oh my God, is that her? Hello Kate! You look beautiful and adorable, sweetheart. I'm Aunt Selena, by the way," Selena said as she offered her hand.
Kate happily shook Selena's hand, "How did you know my name?"
"Your dad told me wonderful things about you," said Selena.
So she knew about Nick, Kate and I? What else did I miss? Nick better start explaining before my mind blows up in confusion.
"Sorry if we're confusing you. We'll explain everything when little Katie is asleep," he whispered in my ear. He kissed my cheek and pulled my head to rest on his shoulder. I'm so confused! Why does that guy beside Princess Selena is acting like her boyfriend? Why am I here with her and Nick? What the hell is happening?
We transferred to a private plane that is pretty expensive. It's my first time to be in here, though I know this would be the princess' hundredth time. Kate had fallen asleep when we got to the airport and Nick had to carry her inside the plane. Nick and I sat beside each other, while Selena and the other guy sat beside each other, opposite us. Kate is asleep in my arms and Nick helped me buckle my seatbelt.
The plane started moving and it went up the air after a while. We waited until we're stable in the air before we took our seatbelts off. Silence filled the room.
"So, would anyone tell me what's going on?" I asked and turned to Nick, "Why am I in a plane with Princess Selena?"
"Please, just call me Selena," said the princess, "Here beside me is my boyfriend, Justin."
"Oh," I gasped in surprise. But what the hell are we doing here? Where are we going?
Nick placed an arm around my shoulders, "Sel and I filed a divorce last week. We're now just waiting for the approval."
My eyes got wide in shock. Divorce? They're getting a divorce. My thoughts got interrupted when Selena reached for the barf bag and threw up. I gasped and watched while her guy, Justin pulled her hair back.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" I asked, very concerned.
"She's pregnant. It's her and Justin's child, not mine," said Nick while we watched the poor girl crumble in front of us.
"I need to go to the bathroom," said Selena.
"Wait, don't stand up. You'll feel worse," I told Selena and I turned to the flight attendant who took the used barf bag, "Do you have ginger tea?"
The guy smiled, "Yes ma'am."
"Please get her a cup of ginger tea," I told the flight attendant.
The guy went back in the cabin and I dug in my bag for a candy. I found one and reached it out for Selena, "Here, eat this candy so you won't feel dizzy."
She gave out a light smile and took the candy, "Thank you, Miley."
"It's not a problem. I've been there and it's gonna get worse. Did you go see a doctor?" I asked and she nodded. The flight attendant walked back and gave Selena a cup of tea. "Ginger products, lemon products, water and vitamin B6 are great help to fight nausea caused by morning sickness," I added.
"Thank you, Miley. I really appreciate it," she said while smiling, before she sipped on her cup of tea.
I turned back to Nick, "Where are we going?"
"Well, when Sel and I told our parents that we got a divorce, our fathers almost disowned us, they didn't even gave us the opportunity to explain, but then our mothers supported us. My mom said I should take you with Selena and Justin to one of our private islands just to keep you all safe," Nick explained and I nodded. It all makes sense now. I'm gonna be living with Selena, the princess who married my Nick, but I don't think it would be a bad idea. Maybe we'll get along. It doesn't matter much. What matters most is that Nick is with Kate and I right now, I know we're safe.
The plane landed after a few hours. We transferred to a van and got driven off to the pier. We jumped in a yacht and I made sure Kate won't get sea sick so I gave her a candy. I also gave Selena a lemon candy so she won't feel sick too. We arrived at the island in less than an hour. It was beautiful, but the island where Nick and I conceived Kate is still the best. This island is indescribable too, words cannot do justice. We went in the beach house and the boys carried our luggage. Us girls sat in the living room to have a rest. I let Kate wander around as I noticed Selena's sleepiness.
"Hey, you look tired," I said as she noticed me looking at her.
"Yes, I want to sleep so badly," she chuckled. I helped her up and she looked at me questioningly, "Where are we going?"
"To get you to bed, silly!" I said while laughing.
Nick came in to view, carrying some luggage, "You two girls are getting along?"
I smiled, "Yeah, Selena needs a nap. Where are the rooms?"
"Oh, go straight on that hall, that's where the rooms are," Nick said as he dropped the bags.
I helped Selena get in their room and I helped her get in the bed. She kicked off her shoes and climbed in the bed. "Oh my God, this is much better," said Selena as she lay back on the comfy mattress, "Thank you, Miley for helping me. I really need someone right now; someone who understands things like this."
"It's not a problem. Are you gonna be okay here? I gotta check on Kate," I said politely.
"Yes, thank you so much. Your daughter is beautiful by the way," she smiled.
"Thank you and you're welcome. Sleep well," I said before I went out of the room. I saw Kate running around the house, with Nick trying to catch her, it's the cutest thing in the world.
Nick decided to put Kate in a separate room because of the reason that he wants to spend some alone time with me; if you know what I mean.
Right now, Nick, Kate and I are lying on the bed just laughing over stupid things.
"And then I had to run so fast so that the bug would leave me alone! And Aunt Taylor was like, 'I'm gonna kill that bug' all over the place, holding a broom and running around!" my daughter explained with such exaggeration. She was narrating an incident where a big bug got inside the house while I went out to buy something and she was left with Taylor.
"I remember that. There house looked like it's been hit by a tornado when I got home," I said while laughing hysterically.
Kate and I were just filling Nick with our memorable moments. I turned to Nick, "What about you, baby? Have any embarrassing or funny moments?"
"There's this one time I ate a soup, and I ate all of it, then I found out that it has shrimp bits. Oh dear Lord, my whole body got all itchy and blotchy," said Nick and we laughed.
"You're allergic to shrimps, daddy?" asked my adorable little daughter.
"Yes, baby," said Nick as he attacked Kate's tummy with tickles.
"Tell me more, daddy," said Kate.
Nick went on and told us some more funny and memorable moments, but one story touched me the most.
"I got one last story, baby. You gotta listen to it because it is the most special story of all," said Nick as he cradled our daughter in his arms. I crawled next to Nick and leaned my head onto his shoulder. He started his story, "Once upon a time, there's a young prince who snuck out from his nanny while they were in a park. The prince wandered around and met this beautiful girl and they became friends. But then he had to leave. Before he left, he gave the girl a beautiful hair barrette."
Kate looked up to her dad, "Why does the prince have to go?"
"That's how it works, baby. The prince can't play with kids who aren't prince or princesses,"
"Oh, what happened? Did they see each other again?"
"No, but when they got older, when they were eighteen, they met again. They became classmates. The funny thing is, the girl didn't know that the prince is the boy she met when they were young, and the prince didn't know the girl either. But one time, the prince saw the girl wearing the barrette. He knew she was the girl. The prince fell in love with the girl, they were happy together, but after a few years, they had to be apart because of a wicked witch."
"What happened? Did someone get hurt?"
"None got hurt, but the witch casted a spell, and the prince married a different girl; a princess. It's a way so that the wicked witch won't hurt the girl he loves."
"What happened?"
"The love between the prince and the girl gave them a beautiful baby girl. When the prince saw his daughter, he promised to take care of her. The prince didn't give up, he kept his hopes up because he knew that love would always find its way to bring him back to the girl he loves. Years later, they met again, and because of the fruit of the prince and the girl's love, the evil spell got broken."
"What happened next daddy?"
"They lived happily ever after."
"Really?"
"Yes," Nick said as he reached to kiss my lips.
I hugged him tight, "Come on, I want to prepare us dinner."
Kate looked up to me, "Mommy, I want lasagna."
I smiled at my daughter, "You do? Okay."
Kate squealed, "Yay! Mom makes the best lasagna ever! She's the best cook ever!"
I kissed her forehead, "Thanks sweetie."
Nick proudly spoke up, "I agree. She taught me how to cook, baby girl," he said with a wide grin.
Kate moved from her dad's arms to my lap, "Really? That's awesome. You gotta teach me how to cook too," she said as I held her tenderly in my arms.
I brushed her hair dearly with my fingertips, "Yeah, when you get older, okay?"
We three went to the kitchen. Nick helped me prepare dinner while Kate played with her dolls on the couch.
When dinner was ready, I asked Nick to call Selena and Justin. Justin wearing a white shirt and blue shorts, accompanied Selena as they walked in the kitchen with Selena wearing a tank top and just shorts. When I'm with her, I can't seem to think of her as a princess. She seems normal to me.
"Wow! That smells good!" she exclaimed as they sat down with us.
"Come on, let's eat," invited Nick.
We started eating and Selena moaned in delight when she took a bite, "Oh my God, this lasagna tastes so delicious, I gotta thank the cook."
"Mommy made it!" said Kate proudly with her high-pitched voice.
"Really? Oh my, I gotta learn how to cook this. It's better than the one I eat at my favorite Italian restaurant and I'm telling the truth," Selena said with wide eyes filled with astonishment.
There she goes; the Princess Selena that I envy so much, giving me compliments about my cooking skills.
"I agree with Sel on this. Your lasagna tastes fantastic," added Justin.
I got flattered and Kate looked up to me with a wide smile. I smiled at them, "Thank you guys. It's just a matter of trying until you get the right recipe. Yes Selena, I would be honored to teach you how to cook."
Nick spoke up, "Miley spent three years teaching me how to cook, and it was worth it," he smiled at me and leaned to kiss my cheek.
"Awww, you two are adorable!" said Selena, and I know she's not faking it. It seems like she really doesn't love Nick, because I could see how she acted towards Justin; they remind me of me and Nick. It turns out that I would be good friends with the soon-to-be ex-wife of my lover; she isn't what I thought she was supposed to be.
