The King, The Princess, & The Slave (BxB)

7- Big News

As Emanuel carried Sabrina down the stairs to the tea room where the maids prepared a bed for the sick little to lay, Thomas came out of the king's room looking neat and tidy.

As soon as Thomas was in view Sabrina starts to wiggle and reached her arms out to Thomas who happily took her from the king.

'My pumpkin.' he greeted her with kisses on her face. After a few minutes, Mr. Folley came in and greeted the elite vampires before he starts to take out all his equipment. Mr. Folley was a vampire who specializes in treating the Littles of the elite vampires. The king, of course, being his biggest client.

Thomas laid Sabrina down on the stretcher and tried to get her to lay down which was easier done then expected considering she isn't in her headspace and wasn't terrified of the doctor as she usually would be.

'I'm right here okay, Bri. Just hold my hand if you get scared.' Thomas assured her while patting her head.

'Alright, what's the issue here?' Mr. Folley asked.

'She's been vomiting and feeling lightheaded for the past month now.' Emanuel replied to the doctor.

'Did she eat anything she wasn't supposed to?'

'Not that I know of. She has a caretaker with her 24/7. I would know if she ate something.' Thomas informed the doctor who pulled out a stethoscope and started checking Sabrina's heartbeat.

'Her heartbeat is slightly weak. Did she eat today?' he inquired while checking her pulse and other standard procedures.

'Yes, but she threw everything up a few hours ago. She can't seem to keep anything down. And it hasn't been easy to get her in her headspace.' Thomas replied. 

'Hmm. It could be a stomach virus. But I'm gonna have to take a blood sample to be sure of it since I'm not her doctor and I don't really know her medical histories. '

'Yeah sure. But don't take too much. You might scare her.'

'Don't worry. I'll only take what's necessary.' the doctor replied as he starts to bring out the syringe and alcohol wipes.

'Tom....' Sabrina stuttered out as she sees what Mr. Folley was doing.

'I'm right here, baby. He just needs a little bit okay? Then it's over.' Thomas explained while hugging her. She wasn't thrashing around at least which was a good sign.

'I don't wanna...' she said as tears start to fall.

'Hey, there's no need for that. When we're done here we can go buy you a new dollhouse okay?' Thomas tried to bribe her.

'She's not in her headspace, a dollhouse won't mean s**t, Thomas.' Emanuel stated from the side. The simple fact that Sabrina called her daddy by name just proves that she was not at all a little at the moment. The duke seems to realize that but was still treating her like a little in hopes that she will go back in herself.

Thomas sighed and continued to hug her to calm her nervous breathing.

'Alright, if you could just hold her still I'll just draw some blood from her arm. Sabrina, can you promise me you won't move too much?'

The little nodded at the doctor trying to hold back tears. Slowly he pierced the needle into her skin, which made her shut her eyes and hide in Thomas's chest. In a few seconds, blood started to pour out into the syringe filling it up in a minute. The whole process was quick and the needle was out in no time.

'I'll just test this really quick, I'll be done in a few minutes. For now, just keep her calm and maybe feed her some sugary stuff to restore her energy.'

'Thank you, Mark.' Emanuel thanked the doctor as he ordered the maids to prepare Sabrina a tray of cookies and milk.

'That wasn't so bad, huh?' Thomas asked Sabrina who didn't bother answering.

'I'm gonna go check on Princess.' Emanuel informed his friend.

'Alright, we'll be here.'

Emanuel separates himself from the group for the time being to go check on his Little who he imagined would be awake and crying from being alone in the middle of the night. It was already 2 in the morning.

The king opened the princess's door to surprisingly find a sleeping little. She hasn't moved much from the first time he came to check on her.

The king moved towards the pink crib and reached his arms down to carry the princess into his arm.

'Wake up, Princess.'

Princess groaned and snuggled closer to Emanuel which made him smile.

Emanuel carries the little in his arms back downstairs to his friend. Princess has fallen asleep in his arms again so he decided to keep this cuteness as close to him as he could for now.

Walking towards the room that Thomas was in the first thing he noticed was the silence. It was so quiet he could hear everyone's heartbeat in the room. Sabrina's being the most rapid one.

Thomas had moved to sit in the loveseat sofa and he now had a whiskey glass in his hand and a distressed expression on his face. His eyes stared at ahead at nothing and his lips were slightly apart. His front hair was stuck to his forehead with sweat and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

Emanuel noticed the tense atmosphere immediately and held Princess closer to him. The doctor had his hands on Sabrina's knees who didn't look that different from Thomas. She was shaking from head to toe and her face was white.

'What's going on?' The King asked to no one in particular. Thomas didn't move an inch as though he didn't hear what he said.

'Tom.' Emanuel called out as he made his way towards him. Thomas moved his eyes up to look at Emanuel and that's when he noticed that his friend had tears in his eyes.

'Are you okay?' Emanuel questioned. Thomas moved his eyes away and took a sip of his whiskey.

Emanuel turned his gaze to the doctor once he realized Thomas isn't going to answer.

Mr. Folley looked at Emanuel and let out a breath he was holding.

'She's pregnant, you're Highness.'
