Hey guys, welcome back! I can't believe that we are finally onto the last part of this series! Eeeeek! Exciting times! I'm going to say nothing more than let's jump straight into it; as I know you are as excited as me to see where our OTP is going on this particular journey. Much love, RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
Thankfully time had been on mine and Ben's side as the recent months had passed quite quickly; and I was currently thirty six weeks pregnant. The trauma of the trial and the shooting was like a faint echo in our minds. Sadly Ben was still affected by both events; but he was getting better. Given the fact that the strong magical bond that was between the pair of us Ben had healed very quickly; but it was the mental anguish was something that I could only support him through - as he had now started to have nightmares also about me or him being shot. I think, however, the further along my pregnancy I went this seemed to distract him to the point that it was only now and again - which I felt was a positive that both me and Ben were clinging onto.
Another reason why I was glad that time was going quickly was that even though my morning sickness was now gone; it had been replaced by a lot of other symptoms that was really hitting me hard. First of all my hands and feet were now aching and swollen. It was a very annoying and most unflattering symptom indeed; and no matter how many times Ben told me that he still thought that I was beautiful I couldn't help but felt like a misshapen monster.
Then came the backache, and I knew that this was because our baby was putting pressure onto my body. But I was willing to go through this for them - as I loved them so much already. Thankfully Ben was always closely on hand to rub and massage my feet and back for me - something that he always has loved and wanted to do for me.
Another unflattering symptom that had decided to grace my body was the fact that I now had varicose veins on the bottoms of my legs; which I had to be careful with. As I had already caught a couple of them; and by Lucifer they don't half bleed - to mine and Ben's shock and horror.
I was also having trouble sleeping; I had to continually lie on my side now and when I was trying to get to sleep I found that my mind was overdrive. So this in turn was affecting my royal commitments that were expected of me, now that I was Queen, but Ben had restricted my activities as I now needed to have more naps during the day to help catch up on the sleep that I had missed during the night.
No matter what symptoms I had gone through it was worth it when we went to our twenty week scan and we found out that we were having a boy. Now that I knew the gender of our baby it felt more real now; and it even reflected in my dreams as when I could sleep I was dreaming now about our son. Yes I didn't know what he looked like at the minute; but I was getting a strong gut feeling that he was going to look like Ben but with my striking purple hair and green eyes. The longer my pregnancy was going on and when he started moving it only made me even more excited to meet him.
Me and Ben were now in the central wing of Auradon Castle; we had moved into the central wing from our private home. We both loved living in our cottage but after we decided together that I was going to give birth in Auradon Castle. One of the main reasons that I liked the idea of giving birth in Auradon Castle was the fact that I was going to give birth in the same room where Ben was born. This just made it feel even more special; and I loved the fact that this would create a special bond between Ben and our son.
