I wake up to the sun coming through the curtains on the balcony. I sigh and get out of the bed. I'm 9 months pregnant and I can tell this baby is ready to come out soon.

I go to the bathroom and then go to the closet. I look through all my clothes. I decide on some black leggings and a grey top. I put on some grey sandals. It's October but I'm not planning on going outside so I can wear sandals. My ankles are quite swollen. Being pregnant with Grace wasn't this bad, but then again my pregnancy was shorter by a month with her.

I sit down and try putting my sandals on

I sit down and try putting my sandals on. I can't get them in so I guess I'm going barefoot. If someone asks I'll just tell them I can't put on shoes this morning.

I go down to breakfast with Chrissie and river following me. The servants bring me my breakfast. "Are you doing all right Queen Clary" a young servant girl asks me. "I am thank you. I just know this baby probably wants out. I just don't know if I'm ready" I say. "You will be all right. Mrs. Alice will be there with you when you have the baby" she says. "I know and I'm so thankful. I don't know what I'd do without her or any of you. You have all helped me so much" I say. "You're so welcome ma'am. I can't wait to see this baby" she says. "Me too" I say.

I take a bite of my food and look back to the little servant girl. "Can you bring me some pickles and honey with a jar of peanut butter. I am really craving some right now" I ask. She nods and leaves the dining room. She comes back with the pickles honey nd peanut butter. I've certainly had much weirder cravings with this baby than I did with Grace. I grab a pickle out of the jar she spread some honey on it and dip it in the peanut butter. It tastes so good when I bite into the pickle. I finish my pickles and eat all I can of my real breakfast with what they brought to me to eat.

I go to the library. I grab a random book from the shelf and sit on the couch. My feet are killing me. I've been moving too much this morning. I prop my feet up and read my book.

I feel something run down my legs. Oh no. I get up and walk out. I find oliver. "Oliver I need alice" I say. "She isn't here yet. She got the morning off remember. She isn't coming until one o'clock" he reminds me. That's right. This stinks. My baby is going to come and she is not here. "I need you to send someone to go get her. It's an emergency" I tell him. "What's wrong" he asks. "My water broke. The baby is going to come sometime soon. I don't know how much longer we have until the contractions start" I say. "Oh. Okay I will go send her someone to go get her" he says. "Thanks" I say and he walks off.

I go sit in one of the guest rooms. Charlotte comes and sits with me along with river, chrissie, and some other guards and servants. "Someone has gone to get her and bring her back" she tells me. "Thanks Charlotte. I don't know how much longer we have until the contractions start" I say. "I'm not sure either. I will make sure to stay with you until she gets here even if they start before she is here" she tells me. "Thank you" I say.

After about 20 minutes I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I squeeze my eyes closed. "Charlotte" I say. "It will be okay soon. I'm pretty sure Alice is on her way" she says. "I hope so" I say.
