At dinner the table was lively as usual but the queen kept silent, she didn't want to bother anyone with such unsettling news, especially the king as he was so overjoyed. She knew it would sound ridiculous since the king had no idea of, he past so telling him now would make him uneasy.
"So, honey, did you like the new robes brought in by the tailor today?" the king jovially asked
"Yes, it actually is of my liking" she said with a forced smile which immediately caught the king's attention
"Is everything ok my dear?" he worriedly asked. This caught the queen off guard a little then she cleared her throat
"Yes, I'm well, it's just these pregnant women hormones it's a whole thing"
The queen grandmother scoffed "oh my dear don't worry soon the baby will cone and you'll realize that this was the least off your concerns" she laughed and so did everyone else. The queen smiled a little lowering her head down
"If u like those robes, should I get u more of those types as well?" the king asked with concern
"No there isn't any need at all, I still don't know where to wear those ones too"
"Yes, I forgot to inform u, the robes are for your comfort during your pregnancy and your delivery day. Especially during any royal 👑 occasions, so you can be comfortable"
"Oh, I see that's great honey but I feel like I should remain in my chambers until the day of my delivery"
"If that's what u feel but is there a particular reason for that decision my dear?" he worriedly ask
"No not at all. I just don't want to disappoint our guests, and I've been feeling a little fatigued for the past month and I just feel it will be right to stay in my chambers" she explained
"If you that is what you wish for then u can have it, my dear. But after your delivery there will be more to celebrate, so rest now to be ready later" the king assured the queen with a loving pat on her shoulders
"Aww thank you dear. I'll make sure to put those robes to much use. And I'll definitely be ready later" the queen smiled genuinely happy for just a moment
This made everyone gawk and laugh. While the queen's smile faded slowly.

The month for the delivery was fast approaching as the queen was already in her 7th month and her baby bump had already grown big. It was time for her regular afternoon tea and cookies. She sat on her bed as the maids brought in her lunch, she sighed not feeling the vibe of the meal.
"I wish to walk around the garden for a while" she said calmly
"As you wish your majesty" said one of the queen's maids
The maid then brought out one of the queen's special robes {the one the king got for her} then aided her in putting them on. After she got dressed, she was led carefully outside. she smiled feeling peace inside, she was being led out by two maids and a guard, as she walked through the palace, she was respectfully greeted, until she reached the garden which was surrounded by flowers that loomed and ones that hadn't along with their unique fragrance. She felt a sense of comfort, peace and sweetness, she made her way towards a patch of lovely flowers, where she suddenly sighted a rare blooming flower, which never grew anywhere but the mystical forest in the realm of supern's. she stared at it in awe, she carefully bent down, as soon as she did her maids rushed to her aid
"I'm well, I'm well" she said smiling, she gently plucked the flower which made it glow. She smiled happily as she stood back up with the help of her maids, it was a clover which meant luck. She sniffed in the fragrance and its scent was addictive and sweet. She asked one of her maids to place it on her head. The maid did so with careful haste.
"So? How does it look?" she asked the maid
"It looks magnificent your highness" the maid's sincerity made the queen happy.
She moved slowly towards the garden table where her lunch had been transferred to. She sat with the help of the maids and began sipping her tea along with her cookies she enjoyed the flavor while enjoying the flower view. Soon evening came and she returned to her chamber still smiling from ear to ear. When suddenly she felt it, a sharp pain from the abdomen down to her legs, she suddenly stopped as she moaned in pain, the maids and guard became alarmed
"Quick get the king" shouted one of the maids to the guard who sprinted of immediately
"My queen we are here" said the maid as the two maids helped her into the castle gently, other maids rushed to her aid helping her unto a wheelchair, they quickly took her straight into her chambers. Almost immediately the king came in along with the midwife. After an hour or so the midwife came out with news.
"she's feeling better now I've helped massage her. she was just going through pregnancy pain. This was because one of the twins kicked" said the midwife reassuringly
"Is she going feel like this again?" the king asked worriedly. The midwife was silent for a while before she shook her head in disdain
"I'm afraid she will. This pain may happen frequently. I cannot say for sure the cause but my guess is, one of the twins is very much prepared to be born which is very rare especially on the seventh month of pregnancy. But even if it's a bit strange, she will definitely make it to the right month, but the pins will be very frequent and may be even worse. But don't worry sire she will be alright" the midwife said reassuringly with a bow
The king sighed in relief knowing that it was not too serious. He walked into his wife's chamber. He held her hands gently and slowly whispered
"you'll be fine, my dear I'll always be here for you"
The months passed by quickly with the queen mostly in her chambers going through pain everyday and having to receive daily treatments from the midwife. Then the day of the delivery came and the pain she felt then was nothing compared to what she felt now. The whole palace was in chaos with maids and guards everywhere, midwives were supporting her and aiding her through the delivery, her screams and moans were all everyone in the palace could hear. The king paced back and fort in his study awaiting the news of her delivery.
Hours went bye like a blur and the cries of the two babies were heard. The king rushed straight into the queens chamber, he stopped in his tracks to see the midwives holding two baby girls, they were handed over to him. He carried the two fragile girls gently he smiled gently as tears fell from his eyes. Then one of the midwives stepped out.
"The queen has delivered successfully" the whole mansion erupted in cheer
"The birth is glorious!!!!" cheers erupted from all the servants
