The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia sat out in the garden, rubbing her belly. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths, trying to calm down. The babies were moving and kicking like mad, they just weren't comfortable. Every once in a while, their kick might hurt but the pain faded quickly. She felt like it was because of her. Surely, they could hear them. So, they had also just heard her yelling at their father and sobbing for however long. She sighed, "I'm sorry, babies."

She stood it was around noon. She walked to the dining hall alone and sat in her normal seat. It was strange, her and Samsul hadn't enjoyed lunch in the dining hall in a while.

Park rubbed the back if his head, his ears bright red, "Ya... I have... And of course it isn't. I may be a guy but I don't have that much of a one track mind."

He opened his mouth to explain himself to Misaka about his idea of her, when Ryan came over and 'explained' it for him. He growled slightly, his hands balling up into fists, and looked up at Ryan, "Not what I meant at all, Ryan."

He looked back at Misaka and sighed, "I don't know you well... But in the last few hours I've only been able to think about you and... not just sexually. You are what I think to be the kind of girl I'd want to fall in love with... But I don't know you well enough to be sure of that... So this Misaka inside my head... My idea of you... I like that."

Anastasia worked through her papers as quickly as she could while still reading them thoroughly. Once they were done, she stood and left the room without another word to Samsul. She felt bad for yelling at him but he deserved it. It wasn't like she managed to hurt him in anyway when she hit him. He was a Lost Elf and practically twice her size. Her hitting his chest wasn't going to hurt him physically. She walked out of the garden, not bothering to grab a guard, wanting for once to be alone. She walked over to the bench that was closest to the entrance and sat down. She took a deep breath and looked down at her stomach, "It's going to be okay, honeys... Mama and Dada love you... Love each other... Mama's just a little... angry."

Anastasia wiped her eyes again and walked in the opposite direction of their bedroom. She headed to their office and grabbed half of their pile of papers. She walked over to her desk, leaving the door open to avoid feeling lightheaded as she had the day before. She dipped her pen in her ink well and sighed, starting to sign the papers. She didn't want to think about how Samsul had hidden from her the fact that her mother had not died. She understood before, he didn't like her before but when they got married... When they found out that they were going to be parents, it would have been nice to hear it then. To hear it at anytime other than when he had no other choice but to tell her.

She wiped her eyes again, trying to not let the tears fall onto her work as she read through and signed the papers.

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia left the room and crossed her arms. She kept walking, further and further away from the door until it seemed as though they were alone. When they were she turned around and hit his chest. The tears were back in her eyes as she looked at him. She shook her head backing away, "How.... How could you? Y-you let me believe that... that she was dead! That I was going to get married without her... That I was going to have children without her and all along you knew..."

She hit him again, "You lied to me... Every day of our marriage you lied to me!"

She sniffled and covered her eyes before she turned away from him, "You can sleep on the couch tonight..."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia nodded, they'd have to speak about that later. She sighed and turned back around to her mother. She hugged her and before giving her a kiss on the cheek. She sat up and sighed, wiping her eyes again, "You should get some rest. I'll come back later to see you."

She gave her a soft smile and climbed off the bed. She gave her a kiss on her forehead, "Sleep."

She rubbed her belly as she turned away from the bed. She didn't meet Samsul's eyes. Unlike her mother, he was on his two feet, like her mother, she was furious with him.

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia adjusted herself on the bed and lay herself down in her mother's arms. She wrapped her arms around her tightly and buried her face in her neck. She sniffled a little, happy to be lying there with her mother. She wanted answers to her many questions not just from her but from Samsul as well. After hugging her in silence for sometime, she took her mother's hand and placed it on her stomach. She smiled softly, "They say that it is twins... Only four months left too...."

She sighed and looked over at Samsul, "How long did you know?"

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia shook her head, "That's not true... You haven't just hurt me. I'm mad.... I'm really mad... but right now, I don't want to be mad... If it weren't for you bringing me back, I'd have never met Samsul, we'd have never gotten married... I'd have never gotten pregnant."

She wiped her eyes yet again and sighed a little, "I'll get mad at you when you are on your own two feet... For now... I just want to be happy that you are back... That you're alive... So, stop reminding me that I'm mad at you."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia wiped her eyes, "That isn't something I want to talk about while you're lying in this bed... While you're hurt..." The wiping was futile as she whisked them away, more flowed out of her eyes. She rose from her chair and moved onto the edge of the bed. As best she could, she leant over and sobbed into her mother's shoulder. She sniffled, she wasn't in the mood to be angry. She could get mad tomorrow... When her mom wasn't lying here, wrapped up in bandages.

Park was a little taken back when Misaka asked if he buttered up girls just to have sex with them. His eyes widened slightly as he shook his head, "God, no!"

He wanted to take her hand but was worried that she might think that he was just buttering her up still. He shook his head, "Till last year... I had a girlfriend. Kim... I broke up with her when I found out that she cheated on me while on exchange in Europe... I haven't really been interested in aspect of any girl until... well, until now... I'm not going to lie... I've thought about you in that way but I'm a guy... Our brains go there with pretty girls," His ears turned red as he scratched the back of his head, "But that isn't why I was 'buttering you up'... That isn't the endgame.... Never was... I mean... I just met you, so it might be too early to really know.... But I like the idea of you..."
