I'm trying to match this story to the Heir as much as possible. Without further ado, \/ \/. Those symbols are supposed to be arrows by the way.

"Oh my god, Kenna", I yelled, worried about my sister in labor. "Can you walk", I questioned.

"Yes, I can", Kenna said weakly, grabbing James' arm for support. James helped my sister up while I rushed behind her to support her weight. May, Gerad, and Mom quickly went inside to alert the palace doctors. Kenna eventually said she couldn't walk, so James and Maxon carried her into the hospital while I followed behind them carrying Astra.

"On there", the doctor pointed, prepared for the baby's delivery. The doctor ushered everyone except James out of the room, so we were all left worried about Kenna's state. Maxon, being the epitome of calm, assured everyone that she'll be ok. Marlee, Mary, Aspen, Lucy, and Carter joined us soon after. Half of me was nervous, and the other half was kind of excited about my new niece or nephew. Kenna and James opted to not know the baby's gender because they wanted it to be a surprise. Unfortunately, that meant we had to be left in the dark too. If one of us knew the baby's gender, someone would spill the beans sooner or later. The paparazzi also had an interest in what gender the baby was going to be. I guess that was their interest until I got pregnant. But, little did they know, that there would be an heir to the throne soon.

After 7 hours of waiting in the hospital wing, the doctor finally appeared in front of the door. We all instantly looked up at him.

"It's a boy", he told us, with a big grin on his face. He held the door open and gestured that we could all go see Kenna. Mom and May practically ran inside, eager to see them. Maxon, Gerad, Astra, and I went right behind them.

Kenna was sitting upright in the hospital bed, with James standing by her. They both wore warm smiles on their faces. Mom was already holding the baby in her hands, and May was staring up at the baby saying "Awwww."

The baby's eyes were blue like Kenna's, but other than that, the baby was a spitting image of James.

"This is your brother", I explained to Astra.

"Really?", she asked with the most adorable look on her face.

His name is Leo, Kenna decided. After seeing the baby and holding him, we realized just about how late it was. We made accommodations for everybody to stay and were about to leave to go to our rooms.

"Ames, I totally forgot, what was your news for us", May questioned. I totally forgot too!

"What else could it be, she's pregnant!", Marlee interrupted. Maxon flashed a surprised look on his face, while I imagined having the same look on my face.

"It's obvious, the late and early mornings, the days off, and Ames, you never are eating the same thing Maxon eats. Always some weird combination of food", Marlee explained. Maxon looked at me with a told you so look on his face. It reminded me of when he wanted me to stay in the palace when we were going to August and Georgia's house. That day, both Aspen and Maxon were urging me to stay home, but I didn't.

"Well, Marlee's right. I'm pregnant", I informed my family.

"Congratulations, Ames", everybody chorused. Lucy, Mary, and May came running and enveloped me in a bear hug.

"Do you know if it's a little Maxon or America?", May asked with a huge smile on her face.

"Not, yet, that's what the gender reveal party is for. We're doing it next week." We all soon headed back to our rooms to turn in for today. Maxon and I talked about our future until we both fell asleep in each other's embrace.

The next morning

I woke up the next morning with a terrible headache that made me want to rip my head off. I somehow ended up sleeping with my arm under my torso, which made my whole body feel sore. On top of that, the sun was also shining on my face, which made my headache worse.

"Ow", I groaned. I must've been way louder than I thought because Kenna came to my door within the next minute. Maxon got up and answered the door so I could rest for another minute.

"Ames, are you ok?", Kenna questioned, being the worried sister she is.

"Yeah, I-", I ran into the bathroom and threw up everything I ate for lunch yesterday. Throwing up was even worse since I forgot to eat dinner. Kenna and Maxo opened the door to the bathroom and walked in. Kenna was already dressed for the day, and Maxon was in his pajamas. They both wore worried faces.

"I'm fine, this is all normal. Besides, Kenna, you have a newborn and you're in here worried about me?"

"That's what sisters are for", she replied with a wistful look on her face. Kenna left after I assured her that I was fine.

"Ames, I have a gift for you", Maxon said with an impish look. We both sat on our gigantic bed.

"Come on, you didn't have to"

"Well, it's not exactly a gift from me, darling", Maxon informs. He gave me a burgundy necklace jewelry case that was simple and really pretty.

"Well go on, open it", Maxon said, anxious for my reaction. I slid the box open and couldn't believe what I saw.
