Chapter 22:

It had been about 2 months and Maxon and I were extremely busy dealing with the guerrilla. They kept taking supplies and all the lower castes were starving. We didn't know who they were or what they wanted. Soldiers kept dying overseas and planes had been burned. We still hadn't thought of a plan for the caste system and the death level kept going higher and higher. It was around January meaning the peak of winter. Many were sick and on top of that, medicine wasn't being provided as much. My own family back in Carolina were trying to hand out food packages in their free time. Their house was warm and cozy now, but back when we were Fives, it would be freezing.

Maxon rarely could talk to me alone and he had stopped coming to my doctor's appointments.

I sat in my office staring at the sheets in front of me. My dinner sat at the edge of the table and I didn't dare touch it. I hadn't been eating exactly 3 meals a day these last few weeks. It was hard to put food in my mouth when others were starving. Maxon and I did multiple trips to cities trying to help the lower castes. We even went to hospitals and funded medicine for some.

The public was extremely upset and mad at us as well.

Caste Seven and Six were as bad as Eights and even Fours were hungry.

The state of this country was beyond awful.

Thinking about it made me sick and I ran to the bathroom. As usual, I vomited.

As I lay on the bathroom floor tears welled up in my eyes.

I'm supposed to be Queen and I can't even do budgeting sheets. My husband basically hadn't seen me in the last 10 days and I was pregnant.

Suddenly my heart started beating faster and I felt like running away. I was panting and suddenly I screamed.

I was shaking and my hands and feet were freezing. You could see teas rapidly gliding down my red irritated cheeks.

I could sense guard running into my room and knocking on my bathroom door.

I was too scared to speak, but my panting was loud enough for them to hear.

"Queen America, we are coming in," they said.

I realized it was three guards when they burst through the doors. Aspen was one and I was relieved to see someone I know. They ran to my side and tried to calm me down. I kept fighting them even thought I shouldn't have.

At one point I heard Aspen say, "Call King Maxon immediately."

I screamed at that and tried to fight their grips. They weren't holding me tightly, but I still couldn't get out.

"H-He's busy," I finally got out.

Aspen turned to me and said, "Mer, is that really your argument right now?"

I started shaking again and he picked me up. I literally was screaming and kicking, but he wouldn't let me go

I felt another pair of strong arms take me. I slowly just gave up and felt dizzy. I let myself be blinded by the dark.

Maxon's POV:

Guard interrupted the meeting telling me America was acting really strange. They explained the screams and it didn't take me another second to run out of that room. Sure enough, America was screaming in Aspen's arms and I ran over.

The first thing I said is, "What the hell is wrong with you, put her down?!"

"Maxon, your wife is literally unaware of everything she's doing right now. I think she was having a panic attack. Don't tell me to let her go," he said angrily.

I took her into my arms and she slowly closed her eyes. I felt so bad because she was around 4 and a half months pregnant.

We had been really busy with all the problems occurring and I basically abandoned her.

We ran down the hall to the hospital. She had been so strong these last few months. She wouldn't complain at all and would always be there at the meetings. She put a lot of weight on her shoulders.

They told me I had to leave the room, but I didn't want to leave my America again.

The nurse led me out leaving me with Aspen right beside the chair.

I put my head in hands and literally didn't know what to do.

"You want to know the only thing America said," Aspen asked.

"What?"

"Well I told the other guards to go get you and she finally spoke. Her words were, 'H-He's busy.' She's still light as a feather with a baby and her arms are still so thin. Her face was so many colors it was scary. She was screaming and yet she still said not to get you because you're busy. That proves how much you've abandoned her. I love Lucy; she's my wife. Even though I'm a guard I make time for her. America is honestly my best friend and I once dated her and I care for her. She's really close with my wife as well so obviously I talk to her often. America isn't going to tell you how much she needs you. I've known her for a while; I should know. If you don't show her you love her you're going to lose her. We both know she loves you more than anything in this world, and you better too. I hope you don't make stupid mistakes, Maxon."

I literally wanted to slap myself. I felt so guilty about everything. It doesn't matter what was happening in our lives, I had to be there for her. I suddenly thought about what Aspen said about her arms. Both of us never ate together. We'd sleep together for only a couple hours before either one had to leave.

I hadn't even noticed that she had barley gained weight.

"Damn it," I muttered.

"I'm an asshole," I said louder.

Aspen chuckled and said, "Now you've realized."

I gave him a cruel look and he threw his hand up and said, "Hey, you admitted it."

"How do I fix this?"

"Your problem, not mine," he said.

"King Maxon, you can come in," a nurse said and I ran through the door.

America was sleeping in the bed looking peaceful at last.

The doctor seemed like she was going to give me "talk."

"King Maxon," she called.

"Yes?"

"Take a seat."

Dang it.

I sit down and immediately ask, "What happened?"

"America had a panic attack. She also has barley eaten anything if you can't tell. Now, my job to help your wife would be to find out the reasons for her attack. I've put some medication aside as well. Now tell me why," she commanded.

"I-I," I couldn't speak so I looked away in guilt.

"It's alright King Maxon, I'm aware you know. In fact, I know as well. I don't think you understand the seriousness of your wife's conditions. The baby inside of her will not live if she doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, and has panic attacks. Your job has her husband is to be there for her. If she doesn't eat, you find a way to make her. If you sit with her and eat, she will too. If you talk to her about her day and fall asleep with her, she'll get rest."

Before she can continue I shout, ''I know. I'm an idiot, alright. I'm a damn idiot who doesn't know how to do anything right. I'm not allowed to make mistake; I have to rule a country. I have to be a perfect father and a perfect husband."

She immediately softened up and apologized. I did as well extremely ashamed for yelling.

We sat in silence for a while.

"If you'd like, you can find out the gender of your baby soon." She said looking up.

I nodded and asked if I could stay here for the night. He agreed and left me alone. I walked up and sat next to America.

"I'm so sorry," I whispered before letting my head rest in my hands.

I really liked writing that chapter, I don't know why though! Tell me what you think about it in the reviews and also WHAT GENDER DO YOU THINK THE BABY IS?! Will the baby live? Who knows… wait I DO….. hehhehe. Anyways please also add this story to faves and follow! Love y'all bunches!
