Elise was feeling very sore. It was her last trimester and she couldn’t wait to get the baby out. She was so big. Kennex had sent a telegram in advance for a doctor; by a pigeon. It was the only way. They had been waiting days and days. She knew mentally that he baby was going to come any time soon.
“Is my little sister going to come soon?” asked Lily.
Elise gave Lily a smile. Lily had immediately started calling her mummy after they found out about the baby.
“Didn’t you ask that yesterday?”
Lily pouted.
“But you said…”
Elise smiled.
“The baby will come soon!”

Later on that day there was a tap at the door. Lily ran and opened it.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Flora. I’m the midwife. No Doctor was free so I was sent.”
Elise sat up in fear.
“Are you sure you can…? You look awfully young…”
Flora grinned.
“Don’t worry I’m good.”
“Mummy why have you wet the bed?” asked Lily in amusement and curiosity.
Elise frowned.
“Well you better be good because I think my waters are just broke. Lily go and tell your gran-mama and daddy…”
Lily ran out the room leaving Elise and the midwife. A panic inside Elise bubbled over, how was she supposed to do this? How was she supposed to bring up her child without its Father? Her heart broke at the thought as much as Kennex was a wonderful man, was there another one out there wondering about her? Or had he forgotten her… No body had found her yet, no body had told her of her forgotten memories. Memories that were locked away in her head but still had a awful way of haunting her.
Where was the man who was meant to love and protect her? Where was the father of her child? Had she abandoned him? Or did he abandon her? So many unanswered questions, in her heart she wanted to belong…

Zan had been feeling disorientated all morning. He had been physically sick last night. Everyone was really worried, after all this was the crown prince. Zan felt pain erupted through his head and stomach.
Lonnie watched in shock as Zan collapsed.
“Nathaniel come quickly.” cried Vilandra.
“What is wrong?”
“I do not know. He is flushed with fever and is out of it!”
Nathaniel helped her put Zan onto the bed.
“Quick go get the royal physician!”
Nathaniel stumbled out the room in shock as Zan’s body contorted in pain. Zan cries could be heard from the next room.

“Come on Elise you can do it. Pant… pant… pant… now push… come on girl you can do it!”
Elise cried out in pain and she gave a final push.
“Elise you have a baby boy!” as Flora handed over the baby…

Zan Screamed as the Queen, King and Royal Physician come running in with Nathaniel.
“Oh my god!” cried the queen.
Vilandra and Nathaniel head swung round in curiosity.
“What?” cried Vilandra.
It was the Royal Physician spoke up.
“The heir to the throne of the descendant of Zan Prince of Antar has been born…”
“WHAT!” screamed Vilandra.
“How is that possible?”
The Queen spoke up.
“Amelia must still be alive…”
