Early Bride [TAMAT]

#18 Between Hope and Love

" Nay.. Are you okay??"

" A.. Arthur's? Where am I??"

" you're in the hospital. You're safe now."

" so.. Everything I've been through wasn't a dream??" 😟

" sorry.. I left you alone that day."

" what am I.. By those thugs.." 😞

" no, Nay. When you passed out, I just got there. Maybe you fainted from panic."

" why do you know I was kidnapped?" 😟

" the driver told me he saw you in Silvanna's car."

" Silvanna.. 😳 What is he.."

" no, don't be afraid. I've taken care of it. Ohh, yeah. Are you thirsty?? I'll get you a drink. Ahhk!! My feet.." 😖

" are you okay?? Wait, your hands are bleeding!! 😰 Why are you still here when you're hurt, treat your wounds first."

" i'm fine."

" are you fighting them all alone?"

" of course, I'm a real man.😊 And I am your husband. Of course I have to protect you with my life."

" but they were all grown men, and there were about 25 men. How can you.."

" are you underestimating my abilities??" 😒

" ti.. No.." 😅

While we were talking, a doctor came to us.

" is there a family side to this girl??"

" me, doc." replied Arthur.

" Daughter, you're so young. Why must you waste your youth by destroying your dreams."

" what does the doctor mean??" 😳 many wonder.

" tell me, who's got you pregnant?? Why can you do that without your parents' knowledge?? Your gestational age has now reached the first trimester, which is three months. Now what are you gonna do??" the doctor told me.

What the?? 😳 Me.. Getting pregnant?? That fast?? 😱 I saw Arthur was as surprised as I was.

" ahh, doctor. So then.. My wife is pregnant??" 😅 asked Arthur with some embarrassment.

" i.. Wife?? She's your wife, son??" 😳

" yes.. I'm her husband." 😅

" i'm sorry, I thought you were her sister. Why did you get married at such a young age. Wait for.. Are you, Prince Arthur the son of the king of Cecilion?" 😳

" yes, please help the doctor " 😅

" god!! 😱 Sisters quickly move this young girl to VIP room!! If anyone knows the royal family being treated here is not well, then our hospital will be in trouble."

" well, doc." said a couple of sisters.

Everyone served me well after that. 😑

Elsewhere, Arthur was chatting with a midwife who was there about the risk of pregnancy at a young age.

" doc, is this pregnancy really that dangerous?" ask Arthur.

" not dangerous, just risky. Naya's body wasn't ready for this. He's too small."

" what are the risks of Naya's pregnancy?" 😟

" the lowest risk is miscarriage. But if the fetus is preserved, there's always an event where only one can be saved."

" do you mean doctor??"

" every husband must choose between his wife or his child, if he is determined to keep the fetus."

" is there no other way that Naya can survive?"

" there's always a miracle, son. Most importantly, take care of your wife's diet. Don't let him move too much. And again, she still has the trauma of what she experienced today. Maybe in the next few days he'll feel a little stressed, you have to keep his emotions stable. Remember, pregnant women shouldn't have too many thoughts."

" well, doctor. Thanks for the direction. If possible I want to ask for a list of foods that are good for pregnant women." 😅

Naya's room..

" what are you talking to the midwife??"

" i was asked to take care of you, that's all."

" is my baby going to be okay??" 😞

" of course.. Our baby's gonna be okay." 😄

" why do I feel you're hiding something from me."

" mmm.. That's.. Nay, are you ready to take this baby??"

" why?? Are you not happy with this baby."

" it's not that.." 😞

" then why?? What baby.." 😰

" it's okay, Naya. Don't panic just yet. Listen to me and don't think too much. If you're stressed it'll be bad for your health and your baby."

" well.." 😟

" the midwife says your body is not ready for this pregnancy. Too risky.. If you want to abort this baby, we don't have to tell mom and dad that you're pregnant. You don't have to worry."

" no!! I still want to keep this baby." 😫

" but Naya.." 😰

" no!! Whatever risk.. Even if I had to die while giving birth to this baby, I would still choose to defend it. This is your flesh and blood, Arthur. Can you kill him??"

" no, Nay. Listen to me first.."

" i don't want to hear anymore, you get out of my room!! I want to be alone.." 😫

Not wanting Naya to get worse, Arthur goes and sits outside Naya's room. He's right2 confused. On the other hand, this is the baby they dreamed of. Meat blood.. But on the other hand, Naya is her life and love. How can he live without Naya by his side?? Why can't Arthur just choose both??

Not to mention when Naya had not realized after the kidnapping incident, Arthur was furious. He went straight to Hogwarts and declared war. He did not accept Silvanna to make his wife hurt to be touched by others.

He will lose time together with Naya, because he is busy preparing for the war that will occur later this year. In about six months, the war between Arthur and his uncle is about to explode. The winning party is entitled to the territory of the losing party, completely without exception.

Arthur is confused as to how to divide his practice time and time to care for his wife and baby.

Feeling tired and not eating at all, Arthur fell asleep in the outside chair and Naya, who was looking for him, saw her husband lying tired.

" Arthur.." 😟

" ahh, yes.. Naya, why are you outside these nights??"

" why are you sleeping here? Let's just sleep inside with me."

" i'm afraid you're uncomfortable."

" no.. Come on, you're cold here." Naya said as she led Arthur into her room.

After a few weeks Naya finally returned to the palace and all the members of the kingdom announced Naya's pregnancy, so that all the people of Land Of Dawn also knew the happy news. Including his mother and father Naya in his hometown, after knowing it they came to visit the palace.

" baby.. Are you all right?" ask mommy.

" i'm good, very good.." ☺

" my son's stomach is starting to grow. Your father can't do anything but wish you all the best, son." 😩

" it's okay, dad. Your arrival has made me happy. Ohh, yeah do you and mom still live in our old house? I really wish mom and dad could stay here with me." 😄

" of course, but the royal family always gave us good service. So you don't have to worry." said mom.

" but since the war is about to happen, we'll move out of the border as soon as possible" he said.

" uh, shhh!! What are you doing? Our son is pregnant, don't give him a lot of pressure." said the mother.

" what did you mean just now, Mom?? What war do you mean?? Hasn't our border area been safe lately??"

" ahh, no.. Honey, we're just talking. Land of Dawn is a developed and large country, every leader must want this region." said the mother.

I don't know why I feel like there's something that everyone's been keeping secret to me. Unlike usual, Arthur is getting more exercise and sometimes late at night. Even I always see a lot of soldiers tightening security. Is there really going to be a war?? 😟 Why didn't anyone tell me??

" mother.. You guys stay here for a few days. I'll ask the queen's mother for permission."

" all right if you want to." replied the mother.
