Chapter 6: What's in a Name?
By: Koumiko
Five months passed and Angel and Andrew were happily welcomed back to their palace. They also announced that they were expecting their first child.
"Congratulations!" Galadriel and Eowyn replied. "Would you like to announce it to the Kingdom?"
"Not until the child is born." Andrew replied. Angel agreed – for safety's sake.
4 months later…
Andrew and the Kings were all called to a meeting and they told Angel to stay away from the conference chambers. The Queens were also called to observe and be present for the meeting, so Angel was left alone with her ladies in waiting. They were sitting in the garden that she, along with Lilly, one of her ladies, tended to. Angel sat on a chair as the two ladies sat on the other chairs around her. Lilly, a pink-haired you woman with green eyes, helped Angel sit down, as Bijoux pushed the chair under her.
"Thank you," Angel smiled gratefully. "Soon, you won't have to put up with me and my belly."
"What would you like to name the child, your grace?" Bijoux asked staring at Angel with her deep blue eyes, her pale gold strands of hair almost looked white in sunlight.
"Oh, I never thought of that yet." Angel remarked, then went silent, as she thought.
"If the child is a princess, how about we name her after a flower? Daisy, Violet, Lily?" Lilly requested. Angel giggled.
"And if it were a boy?"
"Would you like to name him Christopher, princess?" Bijoux asked. Angel smiled and played with the eleven year old's hair.
"Sure," Angel replied, "as long as Andrew doesn't mind. I'm bored, lets walk through the garden, ladies." Suddenly Angel stopped talking and placed her hand on her belly. She stood and started walking with a lady on each side of her. A few minutes passed, and Angel, again, stopped, but this time, she blanched and made a face.
"Princess," Lilly asked. "Are you alright?"
"It's time." Angel said, so Lilly and Bijoux put Angel's arms around their shoulders and began the march back to the palace.
Fortunately, Andrew had finished the meeting and dismissed everyone, and he ran to greet Angel as he saw the ladies stagger into the palace.
"Angel!" Andrew yelled and ran up to her, embracing her.
"Andrew.." Angel wept as the ladies in waiting started their new task of fanning her. Andrew picked her up and ran into their chambers. A doctor was called by Lilly and she came in shortly after.
"Your highnesses," She curtsied to them, then examined Angel, speaking at the same time. "My name is Doctor Yuko, and it looks like you're ready to go, Princess, and whenever you're ready Prince Andrew." Angel made a small cry in fear.
