~Emily's Point of View~

Its Monday now, I got up about four am to run with my brother Austin he was a year older then me and went to college but lived at home still because it was in the town we lived in. We ran for an hour each day then went home and got ready for school. At 530 every morning I wake up Allie and Eric their twins and sophomores. As they get up I go downstairs to go make some oatmeal while Austin cuts up some fresh fruit. Mom and dad drink coffee and read the paper. "So Emmy what do you have planned today" Austin asked me. "The same old stuff, just another Monday" "Are you staying for practice?" He asked me. "Honestly I haven't decided yet, what classes do you have today" he sat down across from me. "English history and art, then I come home change and head to work, I hate long Mondays" I nodded. Didn't we all. Eric joined us first. He pulled out the Trix cereal and made himself a bowl and sat down next to me. Allie came down soon after that and got Life. She glanced at Eric. "Eating a bowl of sugar for breakfast isn't good for you." She said. Eric rolled his eyes and continued eat. This was a typical breakfast morning.

 

School was a half hour drive from home. Allie always has the passenger seat so she can fix her hair and makeup. Eric is in backseat, usually headphones in. I always park near the gym I'm usually that way by the end of the day anyway it only seems logical. I turned towards Eric. "I don't know if I'm staying for practice or not, ill text you both after lunch and let you know." Then we all went our separate ways.

 

On my way to the office I bumped into Brad. I'm not complaining Brad was an attractive guy, and my friend, teammate, and ex-boyfriend. "Hey Cordova what happened to you Saturday, I didn't see you at Dev's party" he said wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "Nanas in the hospital they're not gonna release her" We stopped walking. "What I thought they said she was getting better" "She was for awhile and then she took a turn for the not so good, she wasn't suppose to last thru Sunday and I called this morning and she's doing ok so its just waiting now" Brad hugged me, "I'm sorry Em, I'm gonna go visit her, ill be back for gym tho don't need coach on my ass" I looked at him. "You don't have to" I told him. "Your right Em I don't have to, but come on I've known you since preschool, how many family functions have we gone to together I can't have grandma die and not tell her bye and I love her, she might not be my blood family but she's still my grandmother too" God sometimes I really loved this boy.

 

I walked with Brad to his truck gave him a kiss on the cheek, watched him get in and drive away. Right now we were in that stage between friends and something more. I walked back to the office. "Hey Ashley" I kept walking towards my destination. "Ashley" Almost there. "ASHLEY" I turned around. Ugh it was the annoying guy from this weekend. "Didn't you hear me Ashley I was calling you." He said. "I heard you, but its not Ashley its Emily so grow a brain and try remembering it next time" I walked into the office. "Hey Emily, you have first period off today, we have a new student and your showing him around school" I let it sink in, then he walked in. "Ashton perfect timing this Emily she's showing you around." A huge grin appeared on his face. "That's wonderful when do we start?" "When first period starts, come here ill get you your schedule young man" I sat down as Ashton walked up to Nora's desk and waited as she got him his schedule.

 

He sat down next to me and didn't say a word. "Oh Emily" "Yes Nora?" "Ashton is in your creative writing class, isn't that wonderful" I smiled. "Just perfect ill be able to keep an eye on him that way." "That's what Lisa said when she was making his schedule, thought you were the perfect person to put him with, you have gym together too." "We'll become good friends" Ashton told her. Umm yeah right. Second time I've met this guy and I don't like him. I don't mean to be judgmental but he just pisses me off. The bell for first period rung. Ashton jumped up. "Time to go"

 

We were away from the office when he started speaking. "I know you don't like me but I'm not a bad guy Emily." "Ok" "I didn't move here because I choose to, I moved here because I had to, I was perfectly fine in my old town, I liked it there here its different way to busy, and the first person I meet she doesn't like me." "For the record you hit on me in a hospital. Do you realize how rude and disrespectful that is. You have no clue why I was even there." I told him angrily. "And you dont know why I was there" he muttered I barely heard him. "You know what Emily I thought you were beautiful, hell I still think your beautiful and yet your dressed so simple. Who knew black heels dark skinny jeans and a white shirt could look so good, I knew your name this morning but when you realized I was calling you Ashley you were so pissed. All I wanted was your attention, just show me where my first period is and ill figure the rest out" he said. Ok I kinda feel bad now, but he did start it.

 

~Amelie's Point of View~

Last night I gave birth to my first child, a son and he was nice and healthy. Only honestly I don't know who his father was. My husband came into my room. About a month ago I was having trouble sleeping and so he moved me into the bedroom across from our room. He said it was for the baby, but I get it. Anthony smiled at me carrying our son in his arms as he walked over to my bed. "Look at him Amelie he will be the next king, King Henry" I looked at my son, and then at my husband. "he is a very handsome boy". "He will be a very strong young man, feed him and then I will have them move you back into my room by nightfall" "But Anthony, won't the baby wake you" "My wife hasn't slept in my bed for a month, there is no reason why you can't tonight."

I smiled. "Tonight then" "I am leaving in a few days to your father's kingdom, I'm suppose to go anyway but instead of sending him a messenger ill tell him in person about his grandson" I touched my husband's cheek. "Why else are you going?" "Your father is having some trouble with somethings, I'm going to help, and Sebastian is going to be crowd soon, but that we are going to that as a family. It will look good for all of us, and I'm sure your brother would like to meet his nephew. I have talked to Luke about me leaving already he will be with you most of the day and rarely not by your side I don't want to take any chances, there will be extra knights and ill be back a few days later." "I'm fine Anthony I don't need Luke watching me all day" Anthony kissed me. "Its already set don't argue "

 

Anthony left a few days later. And so I had my Luke to myself with the baby. No one ever questioned Luke's loyalty to Anthony. No one ever said anything about how close we were they ignored it. I had to be careful now, I was a queen and he was just a Knight from my families kingdom. No one else knew Luke was gypsy that was our biggest secret. Even now they still weren't liked much. Nadiya didn't travel much, from what Luke told me she was finally living with her husband and enjoying life raising their toddler. "He's beautiful Amelie" "Anthony named him Henry after Anthony's uncle." "I heard, after Anthony gets back, I think I'm gonna go visit my parents" I nodded. Luke looked unreadable and I hated that, almost as much as I hated being married to a man that wasn't him. "Your welcome to leave as soon as he gets back, take as much time as you need"
