11 - Chapter Eleven - Emerald Victorian's Point Of View.
* six months later
I had gained quite a lot of weight since I first got pregnant, Lucca said
he didn't care about my weight because I am holding life inside me. I
didn't mind being a little heavier because it made my hips and rear look
great. My mom teased me and said I would get wider hips because I
was carrying two boys. I felt so huge, I lost the look of my toes long
ago. Lucca wouldn't let me do much of anything. I spent most of my
days with Castel talking about the wedding we were planning, Castel
said it wouldn't be long until the press would have something written
up about me and Lucca.
The announcement of the fact we were expecting was short and cute
and to the point. It made the media want more however, there were
always people being removed from the property for trying to get
photos of us doing anything.
Personally, I was scared that they would write something terrible about
me and Lucca. I was only almost seven months pregnant, I had a feeling
when the babies made the grand appearance there was going to be a
huge frenzy.
Castel and I decide to go out to the mall to pick out baby stuff. we
walked into a little shop that held matching boys animal hooded
sleepers and both me and Castel wanted to get them so we did
naturally.
We were leaving the store when a woman with a camera walked in and
proceeded to make her way to us. she got really close to using and
pointed her camera right at us. Castel grabbed my arm lightly and
pulled me out of the store with our bags. Lucca and Archer met up with
us in the food court and from the looks of it he was having the same
issues. He took my hand and pulled me to a table and sat us down. I
wished they would just disappear. Castle stood up dragging Archer with
him. Lucca said they were going to make an Official statement about
Our Wedding and children in person.
They ate up the info, screaming more and more questions. Lucca got
up and took me to the washroom. Some of the press followed us to the
bathroom. Lucca looked at the door and held me beside him
whispering that he was sorry over and over again. After about twenty
minutes we left the bathroom and they were all waiting.
"Lucca let me talk to them. Okay?" I asked
"I don't like this idea but fine," he grumbled.
We approached the crowd of flashing cameras and video recorders.
Everyone started screaming so loudly.
"Please, Please try to quiet down. I will talk about each one of your
questions but don't rush to throw them at me. " I said, all fear I had
before gone.
" How Far Along Are You?"
* About seven monthsâ
" What is gender?â
"The gender is boys"
"Is it true that you are having twins.?"
" Absolutely, we are having twin boys"
" Congratulations, Are you two planning on getting married before the
boys are born?"
" We hope to, but if the boys come before marriage then I see nothing
wrong with that because there is a marriage in the works"
" Prince Lucca, Did you only ask Princess Emerald to marry you because
you got him pregnant or were you just planning to use him to appear
like a good heir to the throne.?"
" Lucca asked me to marry him because I am his mate, the children
were made part of me after the evening of our proposal. I would like to
make this very clear that any more questions of that nature will not be
answered with respect, I do not find it any bit polite to be asking
questions of nature. You don't know Lucca, he is loving to me and he
will make the most loving father to our children. , now that is all the
questions I will be answering, Good Day."
Lucca wrapped his arm around my shoulders and we walked back to his
parents where they were clearly impressed by the fact I spoke to the
press and didn't freak out. We all left a little while after we picked up
more baby items, Lucca said that I would be on the evening news, that
didn't really bother me because I knew I didn't say anything bad or
rude, I told them exactly what was the truth.
Lucca drove him and me home and we sat and waited for the news to
come on. They were extremely polite, they gave my interview the
respect it needed and they clearly were happy.
" So, look at that. Prince Lucca is going to be a father and have a
wonderful new start. His parents said they were very happy with his
transformation in the last year, they say that they have his fiancé
Princess Emerald to thank for that.â one newscaster said.
" For once it seems everyone only has good things to say about this
power couple, personally I'm glad for them." the other newscaster said.
Both me and Lucca high fived and cheered, they were proud of us and
they liked us. That was a step in the right direction for Lucca, and I
would be there right by his side. I finally felt like the press had painted
Lucca in the light he deserved and not the spotlight of him being a slut
like they gave him any other time, which just annoyed me.
It was hard not to feed into all the hate from the media about Lucca
and half the time I felt like asking him to explain all the different stories
but I really didn't care to know. I just wanted to have some clean air. He
held my hand the look of relief on his face clear as day.
âI'm glad I was able to help your image. I don't want to hear another
bad thing spoken about you. And I swear I will help others see you the
way that I do, come hell or high water.â
âI really appreciate that you looked past my past and were still willing
to give me a chance to prove to you that I am worth your time.â
âMy love you will always be worth my time, there will never be a
moment where I will feel like you are anything less than worth my
time."
So many people were taking guesses on what the names of the
children would be and I found it mildly refreshing to see there were so
many people that we're happy for Lucca and I. We had already talked
names and none one had even mentioned any part of the names we
were going to use. Lucca got up and made me tea as I sat and watched
the rest of the news to see if there would be anything further about us
and there was not.
