Bubbles POV
I pulled the Doctor's hand.
"You've could have said something." I stomped at him.
"What?" He seemed surprised that I was yelling at him.
"Wait, you didn't tell her?" Boomer looked at him.
"I wanted to give you the news first. You might need to calm your wife down."
"She's not my wife, she's my sister in law, a Princess. Come on." Boomer grabbed the doctor's arm and pulled him down the hallway.
"Wait...sister in law, so Buttercup is married to one of his brothers...which one?" I scratched my head but there's no time for that. I followed him, happy to find that Buttercup was still on the bed, crying.
"Oh...I guess you guys are here to make me take the penny royal oil or something. You don't have to convince me alright, I'll take it." She sniffed and wiped her tears away. She was so precious, trying to put on a brave face.
"There's no need your highness. I'm sorry that I just walked out, but I was completely baffled and amazed and had to tell the Prince. Your child...is still alive."
Buttercup's eyes widened, "But...but..."
"I know, I had the penny royal ready as well. I thought for sure that the child was dead from all that blood loss and the cart ride and stress but it's still in there. I can hear a heart beating in there and when I pushed the belly, I could feel the child's head and a light kick. The child is in there."
Buttercup got up and nearly crushed the Doctor with a huge.
"Let him go!" Boomer cried out and the Doctor could finally breathe.
"But she can't work and no carriage rides either. You can have light...light walks and must stay calm as much as possibly." He advised us, "This was a miracle, but miracles rarely happened twice. Simply amazing." He walked out.
I hugged her.
"Which means...I can make the baby's blanket, and I can go outside, but I can't play." She pouted and sat back on the bed, but there was a smile on her face as she held Fang up in the air.
"Well, I hope you listen to him, Fur face, you must make sure she takes it easy." He patted me on the back, "I must get back to Work, It seems that Princess Blossom has already sent out the invitations, I bet Brick is crying." He left the room.
"Stop looking at him and let's go outside. I want some fresh air." Buttercup said with a new spring in her step, she struggled to put her pants on, "Damn, its like I just doubled in size."
"Here let me helped you. We have to be careful now." I cautioned her, showing no signs of what happened in the kitchen. Buttercup put on her old shirt, but now it seem smaller. She didn't seem fat any where else except her belly.
"Damn, I have gotten bigger. I need a bigger shirt." She groaned.
"It's ok, the whole castle knows you're with child."
"I still feel comfortable with a big shirt, I might have one that I stole from Theo." She went to the chest at the foot of the bed, "I stole this when I first came here, just in case." She put on the loose long sleeve white shirt, "Almost right." She grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the sleeves.
"Buttercup, why don't you tell Boomer that you're scared of your husband?"
"What?" She looked at me shock and started to cut the other sleeve, "What the hell are you talking about now?"
"You...it's just that, you seem scared of him."
"I'm not scared of my husband...well, I'm gonna be a little nervous when Boomer brings him here. He's such an emotional wreck."
Which one of Boomer's brothers is an emotional wreck, I would've thought it was Brick, if it wasn't for Blossom's engagement. They just seem perfect together, it couldn't be the vile horrid Butch, not only is he a cold blooded snake but he's so...reserve and emotionless. Blitz is a gentle giant and he just eloped with Brianna.
Beast...he gets stressed out pretty easy and not good under pressure...and he did always cry a lot.
"And you're scared of him?" I gasped as I thought, it must be Beast.
"No...Not him, he would never hurt me...because he knows I would beat him...it..it's..."Buttercup had a tear coming down her cheek, she quickly wiped it away, "God, this baby just makes me emotionally...let's go outside. I could feel the dirt in my feet.
I pouted but I shrugged my shoulders and followed her out.
Later on
I was talking to Belle while she was getting Buttercup's dinner tray ready.
"It's Beast...Buttercup's husband is Beast."
Thats when I got the weirdest reaction from Belle, her eyes widened and she just grabbed a pot on the stove and burned her hand.
I grabbed a rag, put it in a cool bucket of water, and put it on her hand.
"Oh, don't worry about this...I just got distracted, happens in my family a lot..." She giggled wildly, but it wasn't her usually giggle, it seemed...faked...or forced, "Silly Fur Face, Pumpkin couldn't be Cupie's hussie. You're just funny fun in the brightness of the sun."
"Belle..."
"Now then, you better deliver that Tray, you never make a pregnant woman wait. A servant did that to my mom once...and she horribly horribly scarred them...horribly...she even painted what she did...Bye Bye..." Belle was acting seriously weird, even for her as she shooed me out of the kitchen.
I felt like I just said something awful to her.
Normal POV
Flashback
"Does it say why?" A girl asked.
"No...M'Lady." The servant just read the letter over but shivered as an older man just snatched the paper from him.
"No...No...just that the engagement is cancelled." An older man's eye twitched as he tore the paper into pieces, "How this...this..."The Older man blinked and stared at the ceiling.
The Slightly older woman patted her husband to sit down but he was still staring and started to drool.
"Well this certainly is a disappointing disappointment. What an upfront to our noble lineage. Well if that Province King thinks he'll let him have an inch of our land or rich ores, then he'll be sadly mistaken. Using my youngest child this way-"
"Mommy, it's ok." The girl sighed.
"No it's not...I could just..."
"Mommy, the Doctor said to paint your impulses."
"I do not wish too..."
"Then a tea party and then we play the Opposite game."
"Oh yes...yes...I do love a good game...Oh I meant I do hate a good game." Her mother chuckled in delight, "I will not win to my daughters this time."
"Yes Mommy, come Ryoko and Mommy, don't sit down."
"Oh...Ryoko, you must 'not' play the game as well. It wouldn't be 'bad' if you didn't."
The younger daughter poured a cup of tea for her mother and her sister, who barely responded being drugged with herbs.
The Mother took a sip and sighed in delight but she saw the sad look on her youngest face, "This is delectable, my sweetie...I meant bad...bad..Oh did I just lose?"
She nodded but got a big hug from her mother, "Mommy."
"Oh Sweetie, that Prince just lost a treasure. A wonderful wonderful treasure, Who makes an excellent cup of tea." Her mother clapped in pure delight, "Why not all three of us paint our feelings? Until your Daddums returns to us and then we can all have a jolly good dinner and play more wonderful games." She smiled and hugged her twin daughters.
Her youngest though had a sadness on her face that she wasn't use to.
