I look at myself in the mirror. I had dark circles around my eyes from waking up in the middle of the night multiple times to go to the bathroom to throw up. I rinse my face off with cold water and pat my face dry with a towel. I brush my teeth to get rid of the puke smell from my mouth. I look at myself one more time before I leave. I hold my stomach as I feel my stomach churn. When I walk over to the bed, Ahk is sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"Are you okay, my love?" he yawns.

"No. I feel sick," I say as I climb into bed.

Ahk wraps his arms around me and kisses the top of my head. "No matter what is wrong with you, I'm sure you'll be okay."

"Yeah I guess," I sniffle.

My cat, Sandy, jumps onto the bed and expects for me to pet her, but instead I lean over the edge of the bed and throw up on the floor.

I hear Ahk sigh, but I don't know if it's because I made a mess on the floor or if it's because the entire bedroom started to smell. He gets out of bed to clean it, but I stop him before he does.

"No no no. I got it," I say as I go to the bathroom. I clean up the mess and after I'm done, I open up the balcony door. The moonlight lights up the entire room and a cool, crisp breeze fills the room. I walk out onto the balcony and cross my arms. I look at the beautiful world around me that Ahk and I are ruling together.

Ahk walks out onto the balcony and wraps his arms around me. He rests his chin on the top of my head.

"Everything feels so unreal these days," I say.

"What do you mean?" he asks.

"I don't know. It's just that—" I pause.

"It's just that what?"

I sigh. "So many things in my life are so much different. I never expected myself to be married, let alone married into royalty."

"Well I never expected myself to be married to the most beautiful girl in the world."

I tilt my head to look at him and he smiles. The moonlight made his eyes gleam a bright blue. He kisses me on the cheek.

"I love you," he says.

"I love you too," I whisper.

My stomach starts bubbling again, but not for the same reason as before. It was because I was keeping something from Ahk. I wasn't being fully honest with him. I didn't know when or how I could tell him, but I was too nervous to. I look at the sky and see a star sparkle. It seemed like it was a sign. I take a deep breath.

"Ahk," I say.

"Yes?" he says.

"I'm pregnant."
