Chase’s POV
I knew we were back to the house, when I heard the driver kill the engine. I looked out the window and sighed. I climbed out the car and began walking with slumped shoulders, I wanted nothing but to go to bed.
“Your highness, do you have any-”
“I am good Angus. I don’t want to be disturbed” I murmured and left for my chambers. I walked into my room to find my new personal maid cleaning. Loosening my tie I stared at her with raised eyebrows.
“I thought there was a maid assigned to clean.”
Amanda the maid gave me a huge smile. “It’s no big deal, I want to do it”
I stared at her and her fake ass smile. I rolled my eyes. Walking to my dresser, I dropped my phone and watches. Then I closed my eyes to shut everything out. Why did I need a new maid again? Oh the nightmares. I hissed as I began to take off unbutton my shirt. Suddenly I noticed a presence beside me.
“Get lost” I snapped.
“Okay okay your highness, I will be back for the reason” the young girl scurried out of my room. Immediately she left, I walked to the door and shut it. I needed to hear no one but my voice. I took off all my clothes and walked into the shower.
***************************************************************************************************
4 hours later, its midnight and I haven’t slept a wink. I had been tossing and turning I bed like I had some heavy dinner but I didn’t eat all through the door. Standing from the bed, I walked to the door and unlocked it.
“Guard!”
“Yes your highness” one of them came to me.
“Go call me he maids that reads me at night” and then he rushed off. The new maid sat in the not far away from me with a book in her hands. She had on her nightwear that revealed a huge portion of her breasts. I rolled my eyes. I would treat that later, all I wanted was to go to bed. I needed to sleep or else I will have an excruciating head ache tomorrow.
It didn’t take longer after she began reading, then I dozed off, and began to dream.
***************************************************************************************************
I woke to a pressing need to use the bathroom.
“Argh!” I groaned. Sitting up has been a tumultuous task lately. I looked around and there was no one in sight. I glanced at the button to call a nurse but I withdrew my hands. Angus was fast asleep on the chair. With what I can see I guess, I am in the hospital.
“I will do it myself” I muttered. Gritting my teeth, I leaned out and stuck one foot of the bed. The pain went straight to my head. I grunted. If I was female. I would have yelled out my lungs. I took in a deep breath and put the second leg out. I groaned but I persevered. If I can’t go the bathroom myself, I might as well, be called a bedridden fellow. When I remembered how fit I was, how easy it was for me to move around, I stuck one foot before another.
With grunts and groans, I finally did my business in there. Thank Heavens, it was just no 1 that I wanted. If I was to do no 2, I would have screamed to sit. I took in a deep breath and dragged myself back to my bed.
“That wasn’t bad” I sighed the moment I lay back on the bed. I stretched to the side, suddenly I could see through another room. It was Arya. I could hear her thoughts and I listened with rapt attention.
***********
I woke up to a twirling ceiling fan and the faint smile of disinfectant. Where am I? I sat up a little. It was when I heard the beeping sounds and looked outside to see people working around in white coats and scrubs. Hospital. I am in the hospital. Oh maybe I might have passed out.
How long have I been sleeping? Is it morning yet? What happened? My head was a like a market place.
“Good morning Miss Arya” a nurse walked into my room, with a bright smile.
“Good morning Miss-“I stared up at her.
“Miss Maureen” she said. “Excuse me, if you don’t mind, I’ll check your vitals” I smiled and nodded. She went ahead to read and check around me.
“Any problem, Miss Arya” she asked.
“Oh I just wanted to know, which hospital is this?” I asked.
“Okay you are in hospital” she said. I froze.
“What are you doing?” the nurse asked as she came to my side.
“I need to leave. I need to see my boyfriend” she put back the cover and held me back. “You can’t leave Miss Arya. Your blood pressure, hasn’t really stabilized, you might get another dizzy spell and collapse, just like you did.”
Boyfriend! Who was her boyfriend?
“But wait” I tried to stop her. “I just have to go down the hall, my boyfriend is in there. I need to see him”
“No Miss Arya”
“Please just for a minute, I won’t be long” I begged but she shook her head.
“It’s dangerous to be on your feet Miss Arya.” I gave up. She didn’t look like she was going to agree anyway.
“You need proper bed rest” she said with a huge smile. I sighed.
“Before you leave, can I get something for my headache? It keeps getting stronger by the minute” I said.
“Absolutely” she replied. She walked out and came back. She handed me a pill, with a glass of water.
“Thank you” I said.
“You are welcome. Please don’t hesitate to ring a bell, if you need something” I nodded and the nurse walked out of my room. Then I began to cry.
“Oh dear” the nurse appeared out of nowhere and rushed to my side. . I roughly wipe my eyes, with the back of my hand. She stared at my hands and my face.
“Is the pain very bad” she rubs my forehead.
“Thank you.” I gave her a weak smile. “It’s not that. “How was I to tell the nurse, that I am sobbing because I imagined a scenario where, my unborn child’s grandmother will take her away from me? “I recalled a time that made me cry.”
“Please tell me they are happy tears?” she asked and I immediately nodded, smiling.
“Okay Miss Arya. Please be happy. Being sad is not good for the baby” I nodded “will the father of the baby be here?”
BABY!!!!!!! ARYA WAS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Oh don’t worry Jake will be here” I said.
***************************************************************************************************
Immediately I sprang up from the bed, letting out a loud growl. Sweat glistening from my chest. I was panting. My eyes wide open. It was then I realized it was just a dream. My usual nightmare. A very terrible one too. Jake and Arya having a baby? No way.
