9 Months later
With her stomach growing, Carla was sitting on the grass of Rumpelstiltskin's front yard. It's been 1 month Carla's stay at Rumpelstiltskin's palace.
At first the Maverick King did not allow it because he was worried about the content in Carla's stomach. But, Carla can assure that she's okay and that's approved by Aiden.
As Aiden wished, Carla's nature since entering 7 months of pregnancy was stubborn, lazy, but behind that trait Carla was more spoiled with Aiden and Aiv's aunt. Not to her mother but Aiv's aunt, Carla also does not understand why the baby in her birth even wants Carla to continue to be close to Aiv's aunt compared to her grandparents Queen Ellena and King Vincent.
Aiden was always next to Carla wherever she went, she didn't even leave Carla unless Carla went quietly. But, as long as she's pregnant, Carla always permits wherever she goes to Aiden.
And today Carla is already at Rumpelstiltskin's palace and is staying there. Carla doesn't care Aiden will scold her or not but what she wants is like this.
And now she was already next to Aunt Aiv. In fact, they have talked about many things since.
"Daughter, may I ask you a question?" Aunt Aiv
"Please bi, what do you want to ask me?" Carla
"Is such a punishment or other dangerous thing no longer coming to you?" Aunt Aiv
"No, but when I was 8 months old. I had a very horrible dream bi" Carla
"terrible dream? Likewhat?" Aunt Aiv
"I dreamt that 3 white tigers would pounce on me. And of course my son is in danger" Carla
"Why white tiger?" Aunt Aiv
"Don't know bi, because before the tiger pounced on me and my son. I did occasionally visit the white tiger babies in the forest near the Corvus palace. He was so funny Aiden forbade me to approach him but at that time I was desperate to get close to him and even visit him he looked tame to me" Carla
"Then did you dream that you were hurt?" Aunt Aiv
Carla shook her head and looked down at the green grass of the Rumpelstiltskin palace. Carla sighed then looked at Aunt Aiv's bead of eyes intensely.
"Surprisingly, when I faced the tiger that I often visited, he was dead because of the arrow. I don't see anyone in my dreams except me and those tigers" Carla
"Arrow boy? Auntie sure, it's a warning to you and the child you bear the princess. You should always be on your guard and stay with Prince Aiden." Aunt Aiv
"What always bothers me is, why every time I dream they will pounce on me. Just get there, and I'm waking up from my dream. And all I ever dreamed of was a beast" Carla
"That means, you have to be careful with all the wild animals. You were attacked by a tiger, right? You need to be more careful, princess" Aunt Aiv
Carla nodded "At least I feel a little calm now, bi. Me and my son are fine until now" Carla
"Good indeed... Aunty was happy to hear about this news of yours" Aunt Aiv
"Is aunt okay? Aunty eats well, doesn't she?" Carla
Aunt Aiv smiled and nodded "Auntie is fine and healthy here, no need to worry"
"I'm sorry I rarely visit aunty, nor do I send letters. I'm too busy with my business and royal activities" Carla
"Not to be sad, princess, hearing you're okay, I'm happy. No need to send a letter to me, my reading interest has decreased now. I'm getting old" Aunt Aiv
"However, you're still a mother to me bi.." Carla hugs Aiv's aunt from the side, and Aiv's aunt returns Carla's embrace while patting her arm softly.
"You're like my own son" Aunt Aiv
While Aiden, he had already arrived at Rumpelstiltskin Palace carrying the items Carla needed. Aiden stayed at Rumpelstiltskin to look after Carla while she was here.
Aiden still does not understand what Carla wants, sometimes his desires and emotions also change. Aiden will have to be more patient with Carla.
"Aiden? You've arrived apparently" Prince Harris said
"Greetings prince... I just got here." Aiden
"Is this all Carla's luggage?" Prince Harris
Aiden nodded while smiling "Right".
"A lot, for you're a prince. There are many soldiers and servants who can help you. Otherwise I'll make sure your body aches." Prince Harris laughed, followed by Aiden's laughter.
"May I know your son's name is prince?" Aiden asked as he looked at the baby Prince Harris was carrying.
"Query Harrison Avabella Elyona Rumpelstiltskin. Just call Quely" Prince Harris
"Beautiful name" Aiden touched Quely's cheek and he followed Aiden's hand.
"Relax... You'll get this later too" Prince Harris
"Right, I can't wait to carry her" Aiden
"Is Carla craving weird?" Prince Harris
"No prince, it's just that his mood is always fickle. Even at such a young age of pregnancy she would not want to see me at all" Aiden
"Gee... It's worse than Abella" Prince Harris
"Yeah... Like anything I have to accept, even he won't sleep with me" Aiden
"Maclumi, the most important thing is that she's back to normal again, isn't she?" Prince Harris
"Yes I'm happy with Carla now" Aiden
"What are these fathers talking about?" Princess Abella came from inside the palace.
"Greetings Princess Abella" Aiden
"Greetings Prince Aiden. Why are you chatting in front of the palace door? Come in" Princess Abella takes over Quely and Prince Harris slaps Aiden's shoulder and they enter the palace together.
...🍁...
Carla and Aiden are in a fish pond because Carla invites Aiden there to meet the ofish.
"You sure you don't want to rest? Your stomach's getting bigger I'm afraid to see it" Aiden
"Fearful? Why?" Carla
"I'm afraid your stomach is exploding" Aiden
Carla laughed until she sat by the pool holding her stomach.
"What's? Exploded? Just be right! HAHAHA" Calra pushed Aiden's shoulder until he retreated a few centimeters back.
"It's impossible to explode baby, the proof is that Princess Abella can give birth without blowing up her stomach" Carla
Aiden gave a clumsy smile, he was still horrified to look at his wife's growing belly.
"However, I hope you're not rough on your stomach" Aiden
"Why should I be rude to my own son? What are you doing? There's just one" Carla set her breath and looked at Aiden who was still standing.
Carla approached Aiden and touched her husband's chest.
"Please promise me you'll be with me at delivery" Carla
Aiden grabbed Carla's fat hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Oh, baby, this is our son. I will accompany you even to look after, care for and raise her with you" Aiden
"Thank you" Carla smiled.
Carla approaches Aiden while holding her husband's shoulder, but Aiden misinterprets Carla's intentions. He kissed Carla's lips gently for a few seconds. Carla turned her face away and looked at Aiden's two eyes.
"Why did you kiss me?" Carla
"You know? Even after marriage I rarely kissed, I sennag you pregnant old because you want me to kiss, then I think after giving birth I'm not sure I can kiss you again. I'm a man too." Aiden's gentle tone made Carla smile sweetly
"Alright well, you never asked me. So I thought, you didn't mind that" Carla
Aiden grabbed both of Carla's waists and stared intensely at his wife's bead.
"No way, I'm a man too. I also want my loved ones to kiss me, do you understand pregnant women?" Aiden
Carla gave a small laugh and nodded "Yes yes, I understand"
Aiden immediately brought Carla's body closer to her and kissed Carla's lips again slowly. Even Aiden also controls his lust because he understands the condition of Carla who is pregnant.
