Mila's pov.

Riley had warned us to lie low and it had been six months,

Since the death of The Vampire Queen.

I wasn't feeling well at all I kept throwing up each morning.

Edith was gone to discuss Lucien's engagement with Veroc Silver.

I haven't met him but Riley said his hot enough to make anyone rethink their sexuality.

I smiled thinking about that when I felt a sharp pain in my tummy.

"Oooooow what the actual fuck!?!!!!"

I screamed in pain not understanding what was happening to me.

Reeve had just Teleported here and I was on the floor trembling from the unbearable pain.

"Hey hey hey, take it easy! What's wrong?"

Asked Reeve as she scooped me into her arms.

"Take me to a Healer NOW!!!

I'm dying, I'm sure of it. Something is eating me from the inside faster than I can heal."

I said looking at her eyes with my teary ones.

"Okay hang in there, I'll teleport us to a Royal healer.

Immortals don't get sick and I'm afraid to take chances."

Said Reeve stand up and opening a magic portal.

I lost consciousness immediately.

When I woke up. I was surrounded by firmiliar faces.

"Even Lucien is here?

I'm really dying ain't I?"

I asked Edith my eyelashes trembling in fear.

"Oh you awake! Congratulations Miss Mila.

You were pregnant.

We ran some tests and Edith is the parent."

Said the doctor stunning me. Who gave them permission to run test?

"You tested me without my consent?"

I asked the doctor not hiding my anger.

"I forgot you were once human.

In this Vampire world, I don't need anyone's permission.

It's within my rights to collect accurate information about the biological parents of the children.

So you can't lie about their origin."

Said the doctor very smug and satisfied like she had been waiting for this moment her whole life.

"She's ready to meet them."

Said the doctor making me speechless.

When did I deliver it? What was going on.

"M-meet the b-baby but ain't I pregnant?

I don't understand."

I asked confused.

"My love you've been sleeping for a year."

Said Edith looking exactly like how I felt.

"So I really died or I'm dying?"

I asked not understanding what happened to me.

"Why you are lying to her Edith? Mila you've been out cold for the past 5 years."

Said Lucien looking at me with pity.

"What am I sleeping beauty or what?

I slept five years when Riley killed me.

Now I slept another 5 years?!!!!"

I screamed and noticed only than the small hands grabbing Edith's hand.

I immediately bolted up to see who it was and stood behind Edith's back.

"W-who is this." I asked looking the little eyes that looked like Edith's.

"Don't be shy, Rosalyn, say hi to your mom.

I didn't introduce you to her because I didn't want you to live through the pain I did."

Said Edith as the tolder looked at me completely differently.

She's so perfect.

Rosalyn took hurried little steps to me till she was infront of me.

She Stretched out her little arms giving me an entitled expression.

"Are you going to lift me up or not?"

Said my daughter with so much attitude and sass.

Yep she got that from my side of the family from my dad.

I quickly picked her up not believing how cute she was.

"So why were you sleeping? Are you always this lazy?

You missed. 1, 2, 3, 4 of my birthday parties.

Here's a list of what I wanted-"

Said Rosalyn before Edith cut her off.

"My mate almost died pregnant with you ,

and instead of showing gratitude of arriving here full and satisfied,

While my Mila was short of blood that you were drinking

You give her a stupid list?"

Said Edith not hidden the blame and resentment she had for Rosalyn.

Who looked at her matching her energy before saying.

"Like I was saying mom, here is the list.

Mommy told me that you don't work so I went easy on you."

Said Rosalyn before smiling instantly lighting up the room.

Edith was so angry that she stormed off.

Rosalyn had embarrassed her by not being phased by her out bursts.

"Finally, I thought she would never leave the room!"

Said Rosalyn as she rolled her eyes.

It's obvious that I was asleep 5 years too long.

Why was Edith letting Rosalyn get away with such an attitude?

"Rosalyn, there are things that you can think but not say out loud.

I'm not saying be a liarr,

but put some effort to be polite."

I said looking at Rosalyn before hugging her.

"Can you do that for me? I'll take a look at your list and choose what I can do right now."

I said and watched her eyes lit up in excitement.

"How can I be polite? Ain't I already polite?"

Asked Rosalyn looking confused and so adorable.

"No. You are too direct and blunt and it's coming off as rude.

Your wording is too harsh, you passive aggressive and you roll your eyes."

I said and immediately regretted it when Rosalyn started crying.

"I'm sorry, but we need to work on your communication skills or you won't find any peace in this world.

If you said what you said to Edith to another adult.

I don't even want to know the punishment for such behaviour.

Please make an effort to polish your tongue."

I whispered in her ear before kissing the top of her head and hugging her.

"I-Ill try mom." Said Rosalyn hicupping sobbing quietly.

This is all my fault! Rosalyn has missed two years of discipline.

Edith walked in giving me a guilty look before attempting to take Rosalyn.

"Go away! Leave me alone! Why you taking me from my mom!"

Said Rosalyn but I have her a look and waved the list in her face.

"I m-mean I don't want. D-dont carry me."

Said Rosalyn and looked at me for acknowledgement.

"Well.... atleast you tried" I encouraged her by smiling at her.

"Riley come take Rosalyn. I want to talk to Mila alone."

Said Edith when other two girls who looked like Rosalyn walked in.

"G-girls I told you to wait in the car."

Said Edith nervously.

"Your mother just woke up and is a bit confused.

I wanted to break it gently to her."

Said Edith looking at the girls apologetically.

" We have a mom?" Asked the one wearing glasses.

Looking at me with curiousity.

Wait a damn minute! I have three kids?

I looked at them with teary eyes and guilt.

"Why she's crying? I bet it's Rosalyn's fault.

She's Soooo mean!"

Said the twin with braces.

"Meet River and Merissa, your other daughters.

I promise it's just three of them."

Said Edith as I motioned with my hand for them to come to me.

They ran to me and started fighting right away.

"Hey I got here first Riv! I'll sit where I please!"

Said Merissa fixing her glasses before giving River a sharp look, trying to shove her away.

"Nooooo waaaaah! Don't touch me Rissa!

River said and bite her shoulder when Merrissa didn't comply.

"Oooooow waaaaah! Mommy!?!?!!! Riv is biting again!"

Cried Merrissa looking at Edith with teary eyes and pointing her finger at River,

Who almost bite it.

I quickly lifted them up and cuddled them amazed at how cute they are.

I smiled greatfully at Edith for taking care of them.

Edith smiled apologetically at me but I wasn't upset.

Toddlers had it going on, tantrums, fighting and crying.

Nothing I haven't seen before.

"Give her your lists now!"

Said Rosalyn aggressively making River and Merrissa flinch at her shouting.

Than with out missing a beat they each handed me a list.

Oh man looks like I'm too late in getting a job,

I should try for the lottery instead. Which job could cover these lists.

I didn't open them but I'm sure it's toys and expensive one.

"Your mentors are here to fetch you."

Announced Edith and they quickly got off me.

They gave me hugs before running of.

"Well looks like the doctors predictions were spot on.

It's good to have you back Mila. Edith has been a monster without you."

Said Lucien teasing Edith to which she smiled at him.

"I can't leave the Castle for too long as King , Mila you are welcome to the palace.

Your daughters will be happy to have you there."

Said Lucien smiling at me warmly before hugging me goodbye.

Riley, Reeve and Resa got up to leave.

They smiled warmly at me and waved goodbye.

The doctor came back and smiled at Edith.

Than she looked at me with a hard serious expression.

"Listen carefully and listen well.

I'll give you injections.

You inject them into your veins every hour on the hour.

Don't make me regret discharging you early.

Miss Edith please make sure to call me if anything goes wrong."

Said the doctor to which Edith nodded.

"Thanks doctor, you will be rewarded handsomely for your service."

Said Edith looking at the doctor with gratitude and warmth.

"Don't be silly Miss Edith I wouldn't be here if I didn't love my job.

Mila's recovery has brought a good reputation for my hospital.

Making me stand out amongst the many Royal doctors.

The honour is mine, after all ,

high reputation as a doctor who have patience who walk out alive is enough."

Said the doctor genuinely before giving us both a tender smile.
