Star Cross Lovers

Welcome To The Universe Stardust

It’s been seven months since Leo, and I became starried and while Leo was helping his dad at his shop, I was on bed rest and as I was walking around my room my water suddenly broke. When I realised what had happened, I started panicking and I quickly opened my door and I screamed, “somebody help me!” Suddenly two guards came running and said, “my majesty what’s wrong?”

I then said, “my water just broke!” Xenia then ran up and said, “you go and get Prince Leo and you go and get the queen and my mother.” She then turned to me, and she said, “my mother knows how to deliver babies and Galaxia needs to be there to help since she is the oldest person here with the royal blood.”

I was about to say something until I suddenly felt a contraction. Xenia then said, “it’s going to be alright just breathe.” Once my contraction was over, I then said, “where is Leo?” She then said, “he will be here I promise he wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Meanwhile at Galaxy starpaint Leo was behind the counter helping Caster with his starwork while waiting for a customer to walk in. When suddenly one of the guards burst in through the door. Leo then said, “what’s wrong is Luna, ok?” He then said, “your majesty I was sent to get you Princess Luna is in labour!” Caster then said, “Leo its time quick let’s go and while we are doing that, I will ring dad and Nova.” So, they both ran to the door and Leo quickly flipped the open sign and locked the door and ran to the starcar.

Meanwhile back at the palace Garrett runs into my room and he said, “your majesty I have made you a maternity gown for you to wear.”Xenia then took it off him and she said, “thank you Garett I will help her get into it.” A few minutes later I was finally in it, and I said, “this is perfect remind me to make sure I send Garett a gift basket.” Xenia then laughed and said, “of course.” I then said, “what’s so funny about that?” She then said, “nothing at all I just thought it was cute.” Before I could say anything more another contraction hit and suddenly Rania and Galaxia bursts into the room. Galaxia runs up to me and she gets the hair out of my face while she says, “Luna let’s get you onto the bed.”

So, once she got me onto the bed Rania checks me and she said, “Luna you are only three centre metres dilated.” I then said, “where the hell is Leo and only three why couldn’t it at least be eight!” Suddenly Leo runs through the door, and he said, “I’m here Dimples everything is going to be ok.” I then said, “thank god you are finally here… Speckles I’m scared.” Leo then came and sat behind me and while massaging my back he said, “you don’t need to be scared Luna I’m here with you and you are the strongest person I know.” I then said, “thank you Leo.” A few hours later Rania came back in to check me, and she said, “Luna you are now five centre metres dilated.” I then started crying and said, “I want my mum.”

Leo then soothingly started rubbing my back and said, “I know Dimples I know.” Ten hours have passed, and I was still in labour, and I said, “Leo I’m so tired and sore.” Leo then said, “I know Luna you are nearly there one more centre metre, and you can push.” Rania and Galaxia both came into my room and Rania checked my one last time and she said, “Luna it’s time for you to start pushing.” I then said, “thank god.” Leo then said, “when Rania tells you to push, I want three big breathes and five little breathes.” Galaxia then walked next to Rania ready to help and that was when Rania said, “ok Luna give me three little pushes.” So, I pictured my love for Leo and our baby, and I started pushing with all my might. Rania then said, “good now stop and breathe.”

So, I started to do the breathing technique that Leo told me to do and that was when she then said, “ok now give me another three little pushes.” So, once again I pushed with all my might and that was when Rania said, “I can see their head.” I suddenly froze and Leo said, “it’s alright Dimples just breathe.” So, I started to breathe, and Rania then said, “ok now Luna, I need you to give me one big push.” I then gave her one big push and suddenly the room was full of crying and Rania then said, “congratulations Luna and Leo you have a beautiful healthy little girl.” I then turned to look at Leo and I said, “I can’t believe it we have a little girl.” Leo then said, “I am so proud of you.”

After Galaxia done her check, she carefully walks up to us and said, “there’s someone here who wants to meet her parents.” She carefully passed her to me, and she said, “we will let you three have some privacy.” Once they left, I started staring at my little girl and I said, “Speckles she is perfect we have a little you.” Leo then said, “all I can see in her is you and you are right she is perfect.” I then said, “she has your hair, mouth and nose.” He then said, “and she has your eyebrows and eye shape and I hope when she starts smiling that she will have your smile.” Suddenly she started to coo, and I said, “welcome to the world little stardust Mumma and Daddy loves you so much.” Leo then said, “what do you want to name her?”

I then said, “I don’t know we could name her after my mum but that wouldn’t be fair because we could also name her after your mum.” Leo then said, “well how about we have both of their names as her middle name.” I then said, “that sounds perfect, and I have always loved the name Iola.” (pronounced I-o-la.) Leo then said, “our beautiful Iola.” I then said, “which of our mother’s names should go first?” Leo then said, “well I think maybe it should be my mums name first making it Iola Imogen Ashley Galaxy.” I then said, “her name is now perfect.” Suddenly there was a knock at the door and so I quietly said come in.”

Xenia, Godfrey, Nikolai, Orion, Nova and Caster walked in and before anyone could say anything Caster took a few photos of Leo, Iola and I on both of our phones. Nova then said, “Caster you should have asked to take a photo of all of them together first.” Caster then said, “what I thought they would have liked a few photos on both of their phones to remember this day." I then said, “thank you Caster.” Orion then said, “what both of them were supposed to say was congratulations you two.” Leo then said, “thank you dad.” Godfrey then said, “congratulations now do I have a great niece or nephew?” I then smiled and said, “you have a great niece.” Xenia then said, “yes, another girl!” Nikolai then said, “what my sister forgot to say in all her excitement was congratulations.” Xenia then said, “I was getting to that part but yes congrats guys.”

Nova then said, “Sally said to send her congratulations and that she wishes she could be here, but she was needed at the farm and that she is stocking up on human baby clothes for you both.” I then said, “when you speak to her next tell her we said thank you and that we had a beautiful girl.” Caster then said, “can we have a look at her?” I then with the help of Leo readjusted her in my arms so everyone could see her face and I said, “everyone meet our little stardust.” Leo then said, “her name is Iola Imogen Ashley Galaxy.” As I looked at Orion he had tears of happiness, pride and joy in his eyes and I said, “Orion do you want to hold your granddaughter?” Orion then wiped the tears out of his eyes, and he said, “I would love to.”

So, I gently passed her to Leo to give her to his dad and I said, “make sure you get photos of all of you holding her please and while you do that, I am going to get some sleep.” Xenia then said, “of course we will and yes you rest you were in labour for thirteen hours.” I then said, “yes I know I remember I don’t need to be reminded.” It’s now been a week of loving and caring for our little stardust and today is the day that we take her to the temple and for her to meet her people. As we were getting her ready Garett came in and he said, “good morning your majesties it is nice to see you both and it is nice to finally meet this little princess I hope you both will like the dress that I made for her to wear for today’s events.” I then said, “it’s good to see you as well Garett and it is beautiful thank you.” Leo then said, “our little stardust is getting spoiled.”

I then said, “but you wouldn’t have it any other way.” Leo then said, “definitely not this little princess has me wrapped around her little finger.” As I put her dress on her I said, “I know Speckles and it’s amazing watching how you act around her.” Once her dress was on Garett then said, “it is perfect just like what her parents are wearing.” Suddenly Galaxia walks in and said, “it’s time to go to the temple.” Garett then said, “good luck.” With Iola in one arm and my other around Leos arm we followed Galaxia outside of the palace to see all our family waiting for us. Twenty minutes later we arrived at the temple and Galaxia then said, “Luna and Leo you follow behind me and the rest follow behind them.”

So, we all did as she said and once, we got into the temple she said, “welcome Leo’s family to the temple for the first time since we are all now family you are always welcome here.” Godfrey and his family then said, “welcome Galaxy family.” Galaxia then said, “we are all here today to welcome Iola Imogen Ashley Galaxy into the royal family for all of our ancestors to see but before we start there are a couple of people who want to see you all.” As she said that part my mum appeared and she said, “hi Jellybean, Leo and welcome my beautiful granddaughter Iola you are just beautiful.” I then walked up to mum, and I gave her a big hug and I said, “since you can hug me does that mean you can hold Iola and if so, do you want to hold her?"

She then said, “I have been practicing holding things in my ghost state and I can now hold anything so yes I want to hold her.” I then gently passed Iola to mum, and I had my hands ready to catch her just in case. Mum then gave her a kiss on the head and passed her back and said, “also I have made a new friend that would like to say hi.” As she said that another soul joined us and that was when Leo said, “mum is that you?” Imogen then said, “hello my gorgeous family it nice to be able to talk to you all again and welcome to the family Luna and Iola.” Leo, Caster and Nova ran up and gave their mum a big hug and that was when Orion said, “it’s good to hear your voice once again.” She then smiled at him and said, “I am so proud of you, my love.”

Once they finished hugging, I walked over and I passed Iola to Leo and Leo said, “mum meet your granddaughter.” She then picked her up and gave her a cuddle and passed her back to Leo and she then came over to me and gave me a big hug and she said, “thank you for making my little boy happy again.” I then hugged her back and said, “your welcome.” Galaxia then said, “now that everyone is here, we can now start the ceremony." Godfrey, Nikolai and Xenia then joined her, and she said, “standing with me I have the royal blood after me but before both Iola and her Mumma.” Godfrey then said, “I as the second oldest person here with the blood of the royal family I welcome Iola into our family.”

Nikolai then said, “I as the third oldest person here with the blood of the royal family I welcome Iola into our family.” Xenia then said, “and I as the last oldest person with the royal blood that isn’t Luna, I welcome Iola into our family.” Galaxia then said, “Luna and Leo please bring up your daughter so we can show her to her ancestors so they too can accept her into our family.” So, Leo and I walked her up to Galaxia and as she took her from us, she lifted into the air. Suddenly the candles started to flash and as soon as it started it finished. Galaxia then gently place Iola back into my arms and she said, “our ancestors have welcomed you Princess Iola into our family, and it is now time to introduce you to your people.”

We all then said goodbye to our mums, and we left the temple to head back to the palace. As we got there, there were star reporters and some of the Starians who could make it were waiting. As Galaxia walked up to the podium, she raised her hand up to the crowd for them to quiet down and she said, “welcome everyone and thank you for being here on this most momentous day where we introduce you to your new Princess! So, please welcome Princess Luna and Prince Leo and their beautiful healthy daughter.” So, the three of us walked up to the podium and I said, “thank you all for being here it is our greatest honour to introduce you to your new Princess, Princess Iola Imogen Ashley Galaxy.”

Leo then carefully but proudly held her up for everyone to see. Galaxia then said, “if anyone has any question now is the time to do so.” A female reporter then placed her hand up and said, “hi my name is Astrid from that star news and first of all I think when I say this that everyone is going to agree with is congratulations and Iola is beautiful.” I then smiled and said, “thank you so much Astrid and what was your question?” She then smiled and said, “how is it adjusting to life with your little Princess?” Leo then said while lovingly looking at her, “It’s been tough but every time we look at her it is so worth it our little star dust mean everything to us.” I then said, “I agree even though she was really stubborn and wouldn’t come out to meet us for thirteen hours I would still do it all over again.”

Suddenly Iola started crying and I said, “I am so sorry, but it seems like this is all we have time for our little Princess is hungry.” Leo, Iola and I then walked back inside of the palace. One month later we were getting ready to leave when Galaxia knocked on our door and came in and said, “I contacted one of our Starians from ten towns away from where you live who is a doctor and asked her if she could make a birth certificate to say she was born there, and it has arrived.” I then smiled at her and said, “thank you Galaxia I am going to miss you.” She then said, “I’m going to miss you too and please come back to visit.” Leo then said, “we will.” I then smiled and said, “I can’t believe I get to see dad and Leah for the first time in nearly two years.”

Leo then said, “I know time sure has flown.” I then said, “what if they don’t recognise me?” Leo then took Iola out of my arms and said, “Dimples yes you have changed since they last saw us but of course they will recognise you.” I then said, “what if they don’t want anything to do with Iola?” Leo then said, “Dimples you need to calm down of course they will want something to do with her how can they say no this this perfect little face.” I then took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry Speckles your right I’m just anxious.” He then wrapped one of his arms around me and said, “I know Dimples, but we will do this together.”
