Royal slave: chapter 11
Edward's POV
I walked around in the hallway, waiting for any news about eleon and the baby. This whole ordeal was taking so long. I hoped that both of them would be alright. The stress and the wait was so nerv wrecking. I had a hard time staying in one place while being so nervous. I heard my wife calling out for me. And i was tempted to run by her side to comfort her, but a few servants would stop me from going. Saying that they needed the space. But once i heard her scream i ran past them and into our bedroom. I ran to her side and held her hand. I told her everything was going to be okay. And that it would not take anymore longer before we would finally see our child for the first time. I hoped that would encourage her. Even if it was just a little bit.
Eleon started to pant from exhaustion and an infant's cries were heard. I looked at the mistress who was holding the infant. She smiled proudly at us and handed eleon the baby. "it's a little boy." The mistress said. "you heard that, eleon? a little boy." I said and kissed her forehead. "yes." She said and nodded. The baby had black fur like his mother and he had blue eyes like her, but he had my quills and he seemed to be having a small fluffy chestfur. "y-you're so c-cute." Eleon stuttered as she cried of happiness.
She held the infant against her chest and lulled him to sleep. The birth had worn him out and therefore he fell asleep quickly. Eleon smiled and closed her eyes as she, too, was to tired to stay awake. I smiled and kissed her forehead. I decided to go sleep aswell. I carefully picked the infant up and laid him gently down in his crib. I covered him with his blanket and allowed him to continue his sleep. I smiled and walked back to our bed. I laid down on it and glanced at eleon. "you're so beautifull." I whispered silently over to her, even though i knew that she couldn't hear me, and closed my eyes to fall asleep quickly.
Eleon's POV
I was awoken in the morning by a crying and figured out that our baby was probably hungry. I got up from the bed and walked to the crib. The little boy was crying and reaching for me once he noticed me standing over the crib. "hey there, sweetie." I said smilling and gently lifted him up from the small matress in his crib. "i better give you some breakfast." I said and nuzzled my nose against his.
Later on i laid him back in his crib when he had fallen asleep again. I smiled and stroked his forehead. "you'll be a good boy, won't you?" I asked smilling and stroked his cheek. The little boy smiled in his sleep and grabbed my finger with his small hand.
