3MONTHS LATER
CALEB'S POV
3 months have passed since the night that Cornelia told me that she was pregnant and in those 3 months I have been spending less time with her, not because our fight but now a new enemy had appeared: Terzan, another kingdom, had declared us the war!I'm the army's captain and I must be there planning the attacks and all the strategies, as a consequence of that I've been only a few days at home, the last time I saw Cornelia was 2 weeks ago and…. She was beautiful!she had a new light in her eyes and she told me that we were going to have a boy, we didn't have a lot of time to talk but she told me she wanted "ALEX" as the name of our son, I told her that it was ok, whatever that makes her happy makes me happy, the only thing that had really change in her was her stomach, it was big and when I caressed it I could feel the baby kicking, that was one of the best moments in my life, the sad part is that now I'm in the field waiting for the enemy's attack while my wife is at home taking care of herself and our unborn baby alone.
CORNELIA'S POV
FLASHBACK (the day after the argument)
At 9 o'clock I left the castle and walked to my house, when I arrived Caleb was waiting for me in the living room
"Hey" he said
"Hi" I said in a whisper, I didn't want to fight again
"Come here I need to tell you something" he was sitting on the couch and was trying to avoid eye contact. I sat by his side and he took my hands in his
"I'll be gone for a few weeks" I thought that we were going to talk about our baby!
"Why?" I wanted to cry at that moment
"Because Terzan, a kingdom near to us, had declared us the war and I'm the captain so I must be there, I really hope you can understand" Now I can understand why he was sad
"Yes I do understand but I just want you to take care" I didn't want him to be hurt …..Or death, I wanted to talk about our relationship and our son but I understood that this wasn't the right moment.
"Don't worry about me, I'm going to be fine" he said but I knew that there was something more than that
"Are you ok?"
"I…I think that ….. I 'm sorry, for shouted at you tonight" wow I didn't see that coming
BAM BAM BAM
Someone was trying to knock down the door!
"Is open" was all Caleb could say
At that moment Vathek appeared with a worry face
"Caleb we need to leave now!they're attacking us !" at that moment I could see that he was bleeding, I don't want Caleb, MY CALEB ,to get hurt!
"Caleb please wait, why don't you say Ely to stop them" Ely is a powerful queen, isn't she? She could stop them all!
"That is out of the rules"
"The rules?" What was he talking about?
"Yes, if they declared us an "Army war" we can´t use powers to defend us or attack them, it must be an army" he said
"I know you two need to talk but please do it later" said Vathek at the door
"Caleb let me go with you, I can help you and they won't notice it" I said desperately, I wanted to help him!
"NO!, What is wrong with you? You're pregnant! You c.."
"You're pregnant?" said Vathek
"Yes I'm, but Caleb please let me help" I was begged him!
"No way, MIRA!" He shouted
"Yes Mr." she said appearing in the kitchen's door
"Don't let her go" he ordered her while standing up
"Yes Mr." she said taking me for the shoulders.
"Caleb!" I shouted at him, I didn't want to stay here like a useless!
"You need to rest and stay calm; I'll be back as soon as possible" when he finished he gave me a peck on the lips and then did the same with my stomach, I didn't want to let him go, not now that the things started to get better! But he left and I started to cry in Mira's arms.
END FLASBACK
FLASHBACK (2 WEEKS AGO)
IN THE CASTLE
"Do you know something about Caleb?" I asked my best friend
"No, no yet" she said calmly
"I was in a check this morning and the doctor said that we'll have a boy" I said trying to sound happy, at that moment a servant entered
"Your majesty, the Captain Caleb is here" hearing those words my heart began to beat fast
"Bring him here now!" Ely ordered
"Cornelia calm down" she said noticing my anxious expression.
"I want to know if he's fine Ely I can't wait" I said making my way to the door but at that moment Caleb entered, I run towards him and embraced him tight, he did the same but a few seconds later he let me go and put a hand over my stomach, at that moment I felt a little kick in it.
"Caleb?" I said in a whisper
"Yes my love?" at the sound of his voice I felt my knees weak
"Are you ok?" I asked noticing a little cuts in his arms
"Now I'm" he said looking at me and caressing my stomach
"Mhmmmmm" Ely coughed
"Oh, I'm sorry Elyon, love can you wait me outside? I need to talk with Elyon" my husband said serious.
"B.."
"Shhhhh, please" he was really serious
"Ok" I said and then I left
The minutes passed and I was walking in the hall, and walking…..and walking…
Suddenly the door opened and I saw my husband and my best friend with concern looks.
"I'm going to let you two talk" and Ely left
"What's wrong Caleb, don't try to hide things to me" I said serious
"Is just…..well, we are losing the war and I need to be there for a very long time, it will be almost a year and…."he was sad …and so was I, then I realized:
"You won't be here when our baby…"
"I know" He said calmly
I thought about it for a minute then I said
"We'll have a boy" I wanted to end the silence and I tried to sound happy
"R..re..really?" he asked and a smile started to form in his face
"Yes, and I don't know if you want but…. I want "Alex" for our son's name" I really liked that name but he is his father and he has to agree.
"If you want it it's ok for me"
"Thanks"
"Why? You are going to give me a beautiful son, it's me who has to be thanked not you!"
I wanted to say something but I couldn't find the words, suddenly Caleb hugged me and I did the same, we stayed like that until Elyon appeared and said that Caleb had to leave.
"Don't forget that I love you and Alex" he said after giving me a kiss and then he knelt and said looking at my stomach
"Take care of your mom till I return" then he kissed my stomach and left.
I wanted to cry but that wasn't good for Alex so I just stood there with Ely by my side.
END FLASHBACK
I was in Alex's room looking at the wall that Hay Lin decorated when I heard steps coming.
"Hey Corny" I didn't have to look around to know who was
"Irma ….. I have told you a thousand times that I DON'T LIKE THAT NICKNAME!" I shouted at her and when I turned around I saw Will, Irma, Tarane, and Hay Lin.
"Hi girls, what are you doing here?"
"We can't visit our favorite earth guardian?" Said Will
"Obviously you can! I said a and then I hugged them
"Corny you are like a watermelon!" said Irma
"Thanks….do you want something?" I asked
"No thanks" they said
"Ok let's talk in the living room"
I spent all the day with the girls and they told me about their lives and a big surprise:…Will is pregnant too, well she's only 2 months pregnant but Alex is going to have his first friend really soon.
Will is living with Matt in Heatherfield but sometimes they have to travel because of Matt' s concerts, he's being successful with Cobalt Blue, Will is studying veterinary and for first time in her life she's having good notes!
Irma doesn't have boyfriend right now, but she has her own dept and she's working on the radio, she said she was going to study "later" but I don't know if she said that because I wanted her to.
Tarane is still with Niguel and she travels with Will because Niguel is Cobalt Blue new member, she's studying psychology and is the best of her class …nothing new…
Hay Lin is still with Eric and she's becoming a great designer with her sewing classes, and she´s studying art in some academy.
When I told the girls about my relationship with Caleb all agreed and said that I needed to speak with him and that they would be always with me, it was 10:30 o' clock when they left and that night I dreamed with our final battle against Phobos.
THE NEXT MORNING
I awoke to the sound of hooves and I thought 2 options: we lost the war, we won the war...but Caleb said "a year" not three weeks…. I run as fast as I could with my stomach and I found Mira and Mary very happy
"What is going on?" I asked knowing the answer
"We won the war!" they said
I looked through the window and there was our army with the flag going to the castle, I took a shower and I run to the castle, when I arrived I saw Aldarn he smiled at me and I returned his smile but when I saw Caleb everybody in the room disappeared, apparently I couldn't move so he came to me and we kissed like we hadn´t in seven months.
"I love you" he said when our kiss ended
"Not as much as I do" I said in a whisper, then I felt a hand on my stomach
"How is Alex doing?" he asked with a smile
"Fine…great actually" I was smiling too, I knew that I had to speak with him about our relationship but that could wait.
"We can talk about the war later tonight we are going to celebrate!" said Elyon and we left to our house ready for the party.
LATER THAT DAY
"Are you ready love?" said Caleb at the door
"Yes I'm let's go"
We arrived at the castle and I saw the girls, they came to us and congratulated Caleb, we were talking until Elyon appeared, she began to speak and she called Caleb, everybody was clapping and the girls and I were sitting in the principal table, when Caleb began to speak I started to feel a sharp pain in my stomach
"W…Will" I said trying not to scream
"Yes? What is wrong" she said seeing the pain in my face
"My stomach" I whispered
"Corny you are pale as a ghost!" Irma screamed and everybody became silent
"Cornelia!"Said Elyon and Caleb running towards me
Caleb knelt in front of me and took me by the hands
"Are you ok my love?" Really? What a stupid question!
"No, m….my st..my stomach …I think Alex …" I started to cry
"That's impossible you are only 7 months pregnant" said Elyon
"Take me to Earth right now I need a doctor" I said only to Caleb
"Will I need a fold near to the hospital right now" he said lifting me bridal style
Will opened a fold and Caleb run to the hospital with me in his arms, I was so scared!Alex can't be born now! He's not ready! I just closed my eyes and tried not to think in the pain.
I don't know how but I was in my doctor's office when I opened my eyes
"Cornelia what is wrong?" she said while Caleb was putting me on the stretcher.
"I feel a lot of pain in my stomach" Caleb took one of my hands and was caressing it, my doctor did a quick check and she told with a worry face
"You are going to give birth now"
The worst of my nightmares was beginning.
What do you think? please review!^^
