America's P.O.V.
"Rose, darling come here!" I yelled
Rose stepped out from behind a pillar.
"Got ya!" I smiled
"Hey! No fair. I was just listening to you!" Rose grumped
Hide - and - seek with Rose.
"Again!" Rose giggled
"Ok ok." I smiled
Maxon turned the corner
I picked Rose up and headed towards him.
His eyes were distressed.
"I need to go to away for a week." He sighed
"What?!" I yelled
Rose whimpered
"Rose, Honey, go to your bedroom." I ordered
"But hide - and se-" She started
"Later." I insisted
She scampered away.
I turned to Maxon.
"Maxon you can't go." I pleaded
"I have too." He said sadly
"But... But I'm due any day." I cried
"I'll be back in a week. You're due in a week and a half." Maxon sighed, torn
"Please. You can't miss it." I sobbed
"America. I promise I won't." He said tipping my chin up
His eyes shown with promise.
I sighed and let myself fall into his arms.
"Promise?" I whispered
"Promise." He said, kissing me.

"Helllllo Illea!" Gavril yelled
I smiled
"King Maxon is currently away settling a dispute so our radiant Queen America will fill in." He said
"Hello Illea! As you know I am due in a week and a ha-" I cut myself off
Something wet slide between my legs. Then a wave of pain.
"Marlee!" I screamed
I was dimly aware of Gavril saying goodbye to the country. Marlee rushing me to the hospital wing.
"Queen America?" Dr. Ashlar asked
"It hurts." I whimpered
Dr. Ashlar understood immediately and helped Marlee settle me. Then it dawned on me, as a contraction hit.
"MAXON!" I screamed
"Maxon!" Marlee gasped
Someone ran in.
"Maxon is on his way." He reported
"Aspen." I cried
"I'm here Mer. Think of Maxon." He said, kneeling to hold my hand
I yanked it back.
"Maxon." I sobbed
"How much more time until she starts?" Aspen asked
"4 hours at least." Dr. Ashlar said
"Maxon's here in 3." Aspen told me
I screamed as another wave hit.
Marlee rushed in. I hadn't noticed she had left.
She held something.
"A phone! Marlee you're a genuis!" Aspen cried, snatching the phone and dialing a number.
"Hello?" Someone asked, clearly distressed
Aspen shoved the phone to me.
"Who is th- AHHHHH!" I screamed as it hit again
"America. America it's ok. I'm on my way." They promised
"Maxon." I sobbed
"It's ok." He soothed
"You promised." I shook
"I know. And I promise I'm coming as fast as I can." He said
I took a deep breath.
"I'll be waiting." I said.
