The guards guarding the castle eyed the travellers suspiciously; the blonde was cursing and shaking her fist at them. Her companion, a brunette was crying out in agony. Her friend had said she was in labour?
"Okay, if you want to see the miracle of life than is my guest, for she will give birth right here right now, and I know you don't want to see that." Corrine tried a different approach.
The solider looked at his equally disgusted friend, who shrugged. "Now, miss we would love to let you in but our boss does not like unwanted guests."
Corrine and Renee were losing their patience, Viveca's streams irritated them. They knew she couldn't help it, but these men were being absolute jerks. So they tried a different approach, being friendly and reasonable was not working the next step was to knock the gentlemen out.
"Renne would you care to help me?" The blonde queen asked sweetly.
"Oh Honey you know I would" The African-American smirked and kicked the first solider in the stomach as he doubled over, she kneed him in the face and pushed him down the steps, the pink dressed musketeer copied her friend and Corrine's victim landed on the first.
"Come one let's go!" Chris yelled as he and Arthur pushed open the heavy doors, still unknowingly entering the kidnapper's palace. The group heard shouts and screams from the throne room, curious they approached the large wooden door.
"Stop fighting Melinda, you'll make it worse for yourself."
Arthur turned to Chris who nodded in agreement, this was the man who had sent that love note to Sara and the man who had kissed her in the nursery. Could Seraphina be here? Both men thought. In response to their question, the princess's soft voice laughed at Robyn's suggestion. "I will keep fighting against you till I die," she said kindly in her beautiful voice " or until you realise that I am not your love."
"Sara" her female friends cried and rushed into the room, to find Sara and an African-American fighting a large amount of men. Robyn was standing just behind his men, trying to convince the princess to give-in. Arthur ran towards the king his sword drawn, anger flooding his body. Sara cried out in surprise and happiness, "Arthur you're here."
"Of course I'm here, I would never stop searching for you," Arthur replied as his sword met the kidnappers. Corrine, Renee and Aramina ran and helped Seraphina fight the guards. 20 against 5 were hardly fair. Sara noticed that the fashonista was not here fighting, she looked around the throne room anxiously, her green and blue eyes saw that the brunette was sitting against the wall, her hand on her stomach and yelling. Sara came to the conclusion that she was in labour.
Chris was never a fighter so he stood near Viveca ready to protect the mother and the currently unborn baby. Chris was not ready to handle giving birth, but seeing that he had no choice he help one of the brunette's hands and patted reassuringly. "Don't worry, everything will be okay." Even to himself he could tell that he was not helping build her confidence.
Why was no-one helping her? Sara asked herself, Chris is no help, she's too shy. She saw that her friends had Robyn's goons handled so she ran to the Purple musketeer.
Before Sara did anything she hugged her Horse and best friend, he returned the friendly hug, not wishing to let go. Sra then turned her attention of her patient, she gave her a pat on the shoulder and sat beside her, kneeling to look at her face.
Viveca smiled, she had beads of sweat running along her face and neck. "Now I know why you swore you wouldn't have any more children." Sara couldn't help but laugh. "It's okay. Now breathe slowly. In and Out" she demonstrated. Viveca copied and squeezed the blonde's hand thankfully. They needed towels but she had none, the princess looked at Chris and he nodded he ran out the room and brought back the house blankets.
Arthur was still fighting her kidnapper neither backing down, right now though she had a more important job. "Okay Viv, when I say push you push." Sara arranged the blankets and gave Viveca the signal to push. Chris still held her hand but looked away, not wishing to see the human life. He had seen mares do it all the time and it looked incredibly painful, he didn't understand why women went through this type of pain.
-*Finding the princess of Jewelina*-
Arthur pulled Robyn's blade out of his grasp and threw it away, the prince approached the king his blade inches from the king's throat. "You have made me believe my wife was unfaithful, that she was in love with another. You have made my kids sad, and I have searched for my wife for two weeks with no success and I find her in the place I wished to seek shelter in."
"Oh the mighty prince, wants to end me. You abuse her, I was rescuing the damsel."
"That's how I know she isn't your wife because the girl I married doesn't wait for someone to save her she saves herself if she can, she has never been a damsel in distress. And for your information I don't hit her but you have, she has a hand mark on her cheek, so don't accuse me of doing what you did."
From the clashing of metal and cheers from the winning females, Viveca's screams were tuned out. The men retreated except the king he laid on his back none surrendering. Sara voice laughed happily, everyone turned to look at them.
"It's a…girl" the blonde cried happily and handed the bundle of joy to her mother. She looked so much like her father but with her mother's hair and nose.
Arthur did not move, though the female musketeers abandoned their fighting stance, and ran to their friend and congratulated Viveca. And praised Sara on bringing the child in to the world. They laughed at Chris's distorted face. "I am never having children" he muttered.
"Yeah that's what men always say, but once their wife is pregnant they are willing to do anything and are usually more terrified then the women." Renee said remerging her husband when he found out she was excepting.
Arthur had walked over to the congratulating friends and was smiling at his wife. He didn't care if everyone was watching; he grabbed her waist and spun her to face him, she blushed and smiled her sweet smile. He felt his restraint weakening, two weeks without touching his wife, not caressing her cheek or kissing her pink lips.
He cupped her soft and perfect cheek, she held his hand there with her hand. Using his other hand he tangled it in her blonde hair, then gently kissed her mouth, savouring this moment. "I missed you so much" he said against her lips, he felt tears spring into his eyes but he didn't care. He wasn't ashamed to cry, he let them flow, because it showed his wife how much she meant to him.
She bite his lip accidentally, she blushed embarrassed. Arthur deepened the kiss, biting her lip back not knowing it was not on purpose. He didn't know she was not being bold. "I kissed you too" the princess whispered breaking the kiss and burying her head into his chest, smelling his scent, touching the skin above his heart, fearing this was a dream. "I'm real" he reassured.
Their happy reunion was cut short when Robyn attacked from behind, knocking the prince of his feet. He grabbed Sara's wrists and held her in front of him, his arm around her shoulder restraining her hands. He pulled out his dagger and held it to her throat. "If we can't be together in this life we will in the next" Robyn growled, the dagger inches away from killing her. Sara dared to breath, if she did it could kill her.
Her eyes stared at Arthur's. Wide with terror, her husband did not approach, afraid if he did Robyn would cut her throat then his.
Corrine, Aramina, Renee, Chris looked at Arthur wondering what he do next for his wife. Even Viveca and her baby cradled in her arms gazed at the prince and princess. No-one moved, the silence was deafening, you could hear a pin drop.
"What are you gonna do next boy?" the king smirked at the terrified prince.
Arthur said to himself I don't know. I honestly don't know…
A/N: Sorry it's such a short chapter, the next want will be longer, I've had writers block but only 4 more chapters left. LAnd there's a poll on my profile for what the little girls name's going to be, so be sure to cast your vote. Voting close's 22nd June. So be sure to visit my page before then to give your opinion.
Esmee-lynn: Well you were betted on the wrong gender sorry. But it was always going to be a girl, as boys currently outnumber the girls and we can't have that can we, no.
Turquisea: Yep, I know what you mean, I don't ever want to go through what you did with you aunt, I couldn't handle the pain. They survived thanks to Seraphina's great midwife skills. I wonder if she's done it before, not including her own child's birth.
Icy Fairy: Yeah baby time, Viveca is so loving she's gonna make her daughter so many clothes that she'll have no space for anything else.
Maryam969: Don't worry, I've finished my exams so now I can update more often, you'll learn the girls name in chapter 11 when the poll has finished, Viveca and Adam need to pick her name together.
Okay so please don't forget to review and cast your vote. See you next week.
P.S. Innocence of youth is currently on hold till this story is finished because I have writers block on that and also the demand for this story to be finished outweighs the need for fluff of Sara and Arthur.
Love,
PrincessGeekelle
