I was taken aback, but excited for my future. I am no longer some woman, forgotten, I am a Sultana. - Behic Sultan

I woke up to people saying, "She opened her eyes!" and people running around me. I rubbed my eyes as I realized where I was- laying in the most comfortable bed-couch in front of Sultan Osman's balcony. Sultana Nuray sat beside me smiling.

"Sultana" I nodded at her as she smiled

"Sultana" I nodded at her as she smiled. She knew I couldn't get up and bow because I was very weak at the moment.

"How are you feeling Behic?"

I shrugged. "Decently. Where is my son?"

Sultana Nuray grinned even furthur. "Your children are resting right now. Would you like to see them?" 

I was confused for a moment. Children? Does that mean I had given birth to TWINS?! The Sultana called over two baby nurses who carried one infant each, wrapped in purple silk blankets, a high honor considering purple is a color reserved for royalty and special people.

"Sultana Sanavber," Sultana Nuray said as she handed my first child. I was disappointed at first, since I was hoping for a son. But then I remembered I had not one but TWO children, and this is my beautiful daughter.

"Sanavber" I repeated. It sounded beautiful. His majesty's chose a very beautiful name for a very special daughter. 

"And..." Nuray took a long pause to get me excited, "Shezade Abdullah."

I squealed. I had a son! A heir to the throne, perhaps the future Sultan himself!

"Come here my Abdul" I murmured as I kissed my son's forehead. My beautiful children, I'll protect you no matter the costs, I promised myself.
