A/N: just a quickie the reason why Adam's and Viveca's child is not mentioned by her name is because when I wrote this the votes weren't counted.
Remember review- The target.
It was the day of the celebration of Sara's speedy recovery. Her arm was slowly heeling and didn't hurt as much. This couldn't be. It was impossible, well not possible but highly unlikely. She had been trapped in Robyn's castle for two weeks so she must have been…
What Arthur would say, Seraphina thought. She had to tell him, he had been worried since her return, see was always pale and being sick, why had it taken her so long to realise and she had fought with men stronger than her, she could have injured herself. To be honest the princess had been feeling weak during the fight in Robyn's castle but she thought it was from the lack of food. How wrong she was. Viveca had even mentioned this in the battle.
She would tell him over dinner along with all her other friends and family. Yes it would be perfect.
Princess Seraphina was in a brilliant mood all day; she hummed to herself and even sung to herself:
Someday my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
and how thrilling that moment will be
when the prince of my dreams comes to me
Arthur had noticed the beautiful voice of his wife and decided to follow her song. He had missed her singing and he wanted to listen to it before he disappeared forever. He saw his wife dancing around the hall dreamily. Arthur saw a smile, she was defiantly happy about something. He came up behind her silently, not wanting to interrupt.
He'll whisper I love you
and steal a kiss or two
though he's far away I'll find my love someday
Someday when my dreams come true
Someday I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I know at the moment we meet
oh, my heart will start skipping a beat
Arthur had gone unnoticed as he stood behind his petite wife. He gripped her waist and folded his arms around her stomach and rested his chin on Sara's head. He whispered in her ear "don't stop my love, I wish to hear you sing." And she obeyed and carried on singing happily.
Someday we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
though he's far away I'll find my love someday
Someday when my dreams come true
Someday my prince will come
Someday we'll meet again
and away to his castle we'll go
to be happy forever I know
Someday when spring is here
we'll find our love anew
and the birds will sing and wedding bells will ring
Someday when my dreams come true
"My dreams have already come true, I found you alive and you survived." Arthur passionately kissed his wife, he never wanted to argue with her again, last time they did she was taken away from him.
"Arthur…" the princess blushed, she was so very happy, she wanted to tell him now but she wished to tell everyone.
"Why were you singing my dear, you seem very happy" Arthur ran her hair through his fingers.
"No reason, I'm just glad to be home," she lied, Arthur raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm, I know your happy being back home but I don't believe that's the whole story."
"I will tell you at dinner. It is a surprise," Seraphina giggled like a school girl. Arthur cupped her check and signed giving in to his wife; she would tell him when she was ready.
Dinner soon came and Arthur escorted his wife to the dining hall. All the parents were there with some of the older children, Lorraine, Francesca, George and Amelia. The king and queen of Jewelina were already seated as where Mr and Mrs Barnes. Viveca and Adam were late but who could blame them, looking after a new born baby is no easy task.
Once every one was seated Seraphina made the decision to tell everyone of her surprise. She stood up gracefully and everyone at the table stared at her. Chris looked up suspiciously, his long white hair combed back and golden eyes sparkling His burden had been lifted after he told the prince of his love for the princess. Arthur did not hate him not in the slightest he trusted Chris to control his feelings and he trusted Seraphina not to be unfaithful.
"My Friends and Family, I wish to make an announcement." The princess tapped her glass. "Firstly I would like to thank the men around this table for not over-reacting and allowing their wife's to help search for me. I would also like to thank Chris for leading the search and my husband for never losing hope. As I look around this table I see people who love and care for me and have gone to the extreme to save me. So I would…I am overjoyed to announce that I am…or I and Arthur are excepting a child."
The room was silent and Sara thought they were unhappy with the news, her face fell but Arthur stood up shakily looking into his wife's eyes. "I am a daddy for the third time?" he hugged her tightly the released her afraid he might have hurt the unborn baby. The whole room burst into excitement, Viveca was smirking as she approached the blonde.
"I thought you said you didn't want any more children" the brunette accused teasingly and hugged her friend and congratulated the happy couple.
"I told you Louis she was pregnant now pay up." Corrine told her husband.
"I still don't know how you guessed it, you must have known before she did. So how did you know?" Louis asked he handed over two gold coins.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, "You actually betted on me being pregnant?"
"Well you looked unwell after we rescued you, so Louis thought it was the stress imprisonment caused you, however I noticed you being sick before you were kidnapped and I mother always knows the signs."
After everyone had congratulated her, many choose to return to their rooms and sleep it had been a very exciting week for everyone.
"Arthur, Seraphina I and your mother are so happy that you are excepting again." Christina smirked she hadn't told her husband the conversation she had with her daughter. Sara winked at her. You two seem to breed like rabbits. Please tell me you're not planning on having anymore, I know Christina loves children but we don't want to have 13 grandchildren like King Willham."
"Trust me Father I was only counting on having two but I love children and I think whatever gender this child is will be happy." The princess hugged her father.
Christina came over to her husband and smiled cheekily, "I already knew, I was there when the doctor told her."
Stewart glared at her, "It's not fair, women are always first to know."
"Honey," the queen chuckled and kissed him on the check. He seemed to feel better knowing that his wife still loved him and that he had two amazing children and 3 to be brilliant grandchildren.
Just then little George and Amelia ran to her smiling ear to ear. "I'm going to be a big sister" Amy laughed as she patted her mummy's tummy.
"Indeed you are. Are you going to help mummy feed and change the baby?" the blonde asked her brunette child.
"Yeah." The young princess jumped up and down.
"I hope it's a boy, so I can sword fight with him." George said.
"Okay, Okay" His parent laughed at his boldness of asking his parents to produce a prince.
On the other side of the world, Philippe was muttering to himself. "126 days. Just 126 days and then he'll come and release me." His insane mutterings echoed of the stone walls. "Ha-ha Louis and that Musketeer will be bowing to me because my friend will make me king like I deserve."
The guard on duty had grown tiresome with his prisoner's mutterings. "Shut up you good for nothing-" the musketeer barked then calmed himself - you will not get out of this cell and you'll never be kind because King Louis and Queen Corrine have the love and loyalty of the public." This silenced the king's cousin but he still planned his escape and revenge.
123 Days till the quake, till the death of tiny Blake. Philippe sang over and over in this crazy laughter.
A/N: we're done. The Last chapter. Thank you so much guys who read and reviewed my story.
