christopher's pov

women crying are an absolute mess.

alexander's wife had been pretty emotional during her pregnancy from what i had witnessed, but that was nothing compared to rose right now.

she bursted into my room furious as ever, laid on my bed face down, and when she turned around she already had tears streaming down her face.

"what's wrong, love?" i murmured softly into her hair as i held her close. she just cried harder, her tears staining the bed. i sighed. "you did not just come all the way here to not talk to me, i mean you would, but i don't think you did."

she sniffed and sat up, "the seamstress who is making my wedding dress tried the dress on me and my bridesmaids earlier and she said i was getting fat because the dress wasn't as loose as before."

"baby, you're not fat. you're just pregnant."

"but i can't be gaining weight already!" she exclaimed, getting up. "i'm not far along, maybe a little over a month, i should start showing in three months." she paced around the room with her arms crossed. "i am getting fat, this is not the pregnancy."

i had no idea what to do. why don't women come with a manual? i'm afraid of saying the wrong thing and making her feel worse than she's already feeling.

"okay, come here." she frowned at me. i sat up and she hesitated before walking over. "babygirl, you're not fat nor are you getting fat. and if you were, so what? you're gorgeous inside and out. i love you and our baby and that's what matters."

i could see the tears on the corners of her eyes as she looked down to me with the ghost of a smile on her lips.

i turned to her belly, "hey babygirl number two, you've got to stop making mommy so emotional. eight more months with a crying mommy to deal with a crying you afterwards? a man's gotta have a break, princess."

"why do you think it's a girl?"

"shh, i'm having a moment with my daughter here." i playfully rolled my eyes. "where was i? oh yeah, you should make mommy have those weird cravings, that would be way easier to handle."

"are you saying i'm a damn—"

"rose!" i shushed her. "there's some bonding time happening here." she smiled as i continued, "i'm sorry you have to hear that kind of language already. i can already imagine you as a mini version of your mom. although you won't have a boyfriend until you're like 45 or something like that. i love you, okay? daddy wants what's best for you. now please go to sleep, i need some alone time with mommy."

"you're such a dad. i don't even think they can hear you yet." she laughed. "now answer me."

"call it instinct, i feel like it's a girl." i shrugged and pulled her onto my lap.

"what if it's a boy?"

"it's a girl. trust me." i pecked her lips.

"if you think that by kissing me you're going to shut me up... then you're absolutely right." she giggled and pushed me down.

i raised my eyebrows, my hands going up her dress. "you just got here and you already want to get into my pants?"

"shut up." she mumbled, pulling her dress over her head before working on my pants.

"don't need to tell me twice." i flipped her over to lay underneath me. she squealed. "already yelling? i haven't done anything yet."

she rolled her eyes and pulled me into a sloppy kiss as we got rid of the rest of our clothes.

"can i tell you something?"

i turned around to find alexander looking at me. "what is it?"

he always had that hardened look on his face since our parents died. it used to scare me, but now i've gotten used to it. people will respect me if i'm not soft with them he told me once.

"it's about your fiancée and the baby she claims to be yours."

i had to bite the inside of my cheek so i wouldn't start laughing. "she's carrying my child, alex. what are you talking about?"

"the baby could be prince zabdiel's."

"it can't be." i scoffed. "rose hates his guts."

"does she?" he retorted.

"she said it herself. why would she lie?"

he smirked. "why wouldn't she tell you about when they were locked inside a bathroom together, at your own engagement party?"

"are you implying that she cheated on me?"

"with the way her makeup was smudged and her hair was a mess when she got out? i'm not implying it, i'm sure of it."

i gritted my teeth. "she wouldn't."

"all i'm saying is, if she dared do that in such a public event, then who's to say they haven't done much worse in private?"

she wouldn't do that to me. she loves me. or does she? my brother's voice taunts me. no, she does love me. we're having a baby together.

"weren't you the one that wanted me to marry her so our kingdom would be rich again?" i crossed my arms over my chest. "you were pretty persistent when i refused to do so."

"you will become king and forget about our people, then?" he was getting on my nerves.

"that's not what i said. you can't rely on other people to do your job. our parents would be so disappointed if they heard you now."

"don't you dare mention them."

"then stop being an asshole."

he scoffed and left the room without another word. i am not letting him control me anymore and i am not letting him anywhere near my girls.

"babe?" rose said behind me.

i turned to face her, "hey, love. how are you feeling?"

she smiled. "we're fine. i do have to go though, it'll be late by the time i get home."

"no, stay over." i hugged her.

she didn't return my hug at first and insisted that she had to leave. my brother's words are at the back of my brain, i push them ever further away. she hated him. there was no way.

"next week, i'll stay over. i promise." she kissed me. "i love you."

"and i love you. be safe, it will get dark soon."

"i will." she kissed me again before she left.

i loved her and i wouldn't let my brother make up some lies to separate us.
