Chapter 28: Baby Shower & Giving Birth

Narrator's POV

Three months had passed, and Queen Beatrice is seven months pregnant. Two months from now, Queen Beatrice will be giving birth. Her tummy got bigger and heavier because she is pregnant with twins. King Alaric, Queen Eliza, and the maids keep an eye always on Queen Beatrice and stay by her side at all times.

Queen Beatrice's family arrived three days ago because King Alaric and Queen Beatrice are planning on having a baby shower, and it will be held in the garden of the palace.

They invited some of their close friends and the people of Utopia. All the people know that Queen Beatrice is giving birth to twins with a boy and girl gender.

King Alaric and Queen Beatrice already bought lots of baby stuff like a crib, bottles, clothes, and many more. They also decorated the room for the twins.

The maids are now busy at the garden preparing and decorating for the baby shower later. The baby shower will start in the afternoon.

Fast forward, and it is now time for the baby shower to start. Lots of people gathered in the garden. They all have gifts for the incoming royal baby twins.

"Thank you all for coming to our baby shower," King Alaric said.

"Thank you also for the gifts," Queen Beatrice said.

"Please enjoy the event and help yourself," they both said.

During the baby shower, they talked with their guests, and there are also games. Overall, the event was a blast. When the event is already finished, the guests said their messages and blessings to King Alaric and Queen Beatrice.

"Alaric, Beatrice"

"Oh, Princess Diana"

"Yow, Alaric and Beatrice"

"Nice to see you again, Prince Neil,"

"I'm so envious of you two,"

"Same here,"

"Do you know each other?" Queen Beatrice said.

"Yeah, Princess Diana and I went here together, actually"

"Oh, I smell something," Queen Beatrice said.

"Ah, it's not what you are thinking, Beatrice. We will take our leave now, good luck, and take care," Princess Diana said and dragged Prince Neil.

"Something is going on with those two," King Alaric said.

"Yup. I sensed it. They are like us, Alaric,"

"I agree. They are also good for each other"

"Are you feeling tired, Beatrice?"

"Yes"

"Come, let us go to our room and get some sleep,"

"Ok"

King Alaric accompanied Queen Beatrice to their room.

Fast forward: 2 months later.

Queen Beatrice's POV

My tummy is now nine months, which means, it's almost my due date. My tummy is heavy, but I still manage to stand. I always exercise, like walking around the palace. My family is still here except for grandpa because he is too old to travel. My family helped Alaric in accompanying me.

I am now in our room, seating near the window. Alaric is not here because he went to his office for a bit. Suddenly, my tummy hurts so much, and for some minutes, I feel like my water just broke.

"Alaric! Alaric!" I shouted.

"What's wrong, Beatrice?"

"My water just broke, and I think I'm going to give birth,"

"Let's go to the royal hospital,"

Alaric accompanied me, and my family ran to us.

"What's wrong with Beatrice?" mother said.

"Her water just broke, and she is ready to give birth,"

"Come, I'll help you. Let's go, quickly," father said.

"Ah, it hurts! Hurry!"

"It's going to be ok, Beatrice, just breathe in and out, ok?" mother said.

King Alaric's POV

I was at my office to get something. When I'm on my way to our room, I heard Beatrice shouting and calling my name, so I hurriedly went to our room. When I got there, Beatrice is in pain and holding her tummy. I felt hysterical when she said that her water just broke and is ready to give birth, but I calmed myself and accompanied her to the royal hospital.

When we arrive at the royal hospital, the nurses accompanied Beatrice.

"Please, she is about to give birth,"

"Ok, your highness. Come with us. Queen Beatrice needs you by her side,"

"Ok"

"Beatrice dear, remember to breathe in and out, ok? You need to push harder. I know you can do it," Queen Eliza said.

"Ok, mother,"

"You can do it, sis,"

We are in a room with the doctor to help Beatrice give birth.

"Please push, your highness,"

"Ah! Hoo. Ah!"

"I can see the head already. Keep pushing your highness,"

"Ah!"

"One more time,"

"Ah! Hoo"

"Good, it's a boy,"

Beatrice holds my hand tightly. Seeing her in so much pain like this. I know it's hard for her, but I will be right by her side.

"Another push, your highness,"

"Ah! Hoo! Ah!"

"Another push, your highness,"

"Ah!"

"One more time,"

"Ah! Hoo!"

"Good, it's a girl. Congratulations to giving birth to twins,"

"You did great, Beatrice," I said and kissed her forehead.

After giving birth, Beatrice fell asleep. I know that she is tired.

Narrator's POV

When Queen Beatrice woke up, she saw Alaric and her family waiting for her to wake up.

"You're awake Beatrice,"

"You did good, Beatrice," Queen Eliza said.

"I'm so proud of you," King Phillip said.

Suddenly, the nurses entered and are carrying the twins covered with a pink and blue blanket.

"Here is your beautiful and handsome baby, your highness,"

The nurses gave the twins to Queen Beatrice, and Queen Beatrice carried them.

"Thank you, Beatrice," King Alaric said and kissed Queen Beatrice's forehead.

"Wow, they indeed beautiful and handsome," Queen Beatrice's sisters said.

"What would you name them, your highness?" the nurses said.

"I will name the girl Serenity. Princess Serenity," Queen Beatrice said.

"And I will name the boy, Endymion. Prince Endymion," King Alaric said.

"What a beautiful name. It suits them well,"

King Alaric and Queen Beatrice quickly named the twins because they already talked it out. After that, they took pictures.

Queen Beatrice stayed at the royal hospital for three days, and now, she will be discharged. Her family already went back to the palace, and King Alaric stayed with her. When they are going outside the royal hospital, all the people cheered and said congratulations to them. They waved and smiled at them.

When they arrived at the palace,

"Surprise" Queen Beatrice's family said and all the people who are working at the palace.

"Wow, thank you, everyone,"

They were shocked because the twins suddenly laughed.

They all had a good time celebrating Queen Beatrice's successful delivery of the twins.
