King Philip's POV
My dear wife is gonna give birth to my sweet baby. Oh god, thank you for giving this child to us. Augusta couldn't get pregnant for already five years. It is our long-hoped baby.
"King Philip." my brother, Ernest, bowed his head to me to show his respect.
"Brother!" I laughed at him and opened my arms to hug him.
"How is Augusta?" he asked me. "She is good, doctor says she will give birth this week," I smiled widely.
He tapped my shoulder, "Finally you will have heir, my brother"
I chuckled, "Yes, and little Alexander will have a little brother or sister,"
We both laughed, "Yes, he talking about this every day since you told him. He thinks it's a girl "
"Oh really? I don't doubt it. The boy knows what he is talking about,"
"Yeah, he promised to be the best eldest brother and be protective of his sis" Ernest chuckled.
We were talking in the hallway until a servant came to me rushing and worried, "Your highness, The queen...she is giving a birth" when she said it my smile faded away and I run towards our room leaving Ernest after me.
My wife is giving birth...now...God, please bless this day.

Zachary's POV
It's been 7 hours since Eveline passed out. God! I am so worried about her! What happened? she should have to shift! I don't know why she didn't...she felt pain instead of shifting.
"Zach! How is she?" asked Theo coming to me.
"I don't know, she didn't wake up," I said sadly.
"Don't worry man, she will wake up, she is strong, you know that" he put his hand on my shoulder.
"I just...this, the whole thing with Alex and her...argh! I can't lose neither of them" I palmed my face groaning.
"I know man, but it's complicated. Speaking of Alex, how is he?" he asked worriedly.
"He is still anxious but his paleness disappeared."
"That's good, maybe he will wake up soon," he said optimistically.
"I hope so," I said without even thinking of hope.

Augusta's POV
"Ahhhh!!!" I screamed from this terrific pain. Who knew giving a baby is such a pain!
"Breath, my lady, breath," said the nurse.
"Where is my husband??" I shouted at servants and in that second Philip stormed into the room.
"Honey! How are you?" he ran to me asking worriedly.
"I AM IN THE F***ING LABOR!? HOW I SUPPOSED TO BE?" I growled at him what made him shiver. Yeah, no one can scream at king except me, I am his weakness, fear, and love.
"Oh god!!! Ahh!" I pushed.
"Keep going, love, keep going" Philip whispered while holding my hand and my hair.
"Argh!" when I pushed so hard, my eyes turned from light blue to navy blue. And then...relief.
I lied my hand down and felt how my body relaxed momentarily.
"Oh!" Philip wiped his tears and took a baby...my baby...my little baby.
"Congratulations My King and Queen, It's a girl!" the nurse happily announced. Oh my...oh...a girl? my little baby girl!!
"Oh, baby girl! huh, Augusta, Alex was right, haha" Philip laughed like a six-year-old boy.
"Give her to me please"
Philip gave me a little girl, she was so little but under this little body, there was a powerful soul. I knew it. Here is the future Queen. My little princess, Queen to be.
"My little princess...Philip, this is our little princess" I chuckled looking at my husband.
"Yes, our little princess, I am proud of you my Queen." he first looked at our girl and then sat beside me and kissed me passionately.
"I love you," he said while looking at our girl.
"I love you" I answered back.
He took her from me to let me change my clothes and take a shower.
***********
After doing my staff I took the baby and wore on her a soft, black sweater. We went to Ernest and his wife to show our baby. Philip knocked on the door while I was holding a beautiful creature on my arms.
When Philip knocked we heard small footsteps. The door opened and he squealed jumping on the place.
"This is my little brother or sister!!! Yaay! Mommy!! Aunt Augusta and Unca Philip brang a baby!!" Alexander squealed hugging my legs.
I chuckled, "Alexander, boy, be quiet, your sister is sleeping," Philip said putting his finger on his lips saying "Shh"
"Oh, I understand, she is a newborn, shhh," Alex said understanding. Haha, I love this boy, my favorite nephew.
We entered inside the room and Ernest instantly took the girl.
"Oh, here is our little princess," he said taking her carefully.
"What's her name?" Alex asked me looking at her. Oh god, what parents we are? We didn't give a name!
I looked at Philip for help. He nodded to me and then I saw how he began to think sighing. Then his expression lit up and he looked at Alex.
"Alexander, do you want to name your little sister?" WHAT!? um, excuse me, what!? This is my only child and he wants Alex to name her!
I stuttered, "B-but" then I saw how Alex smiled genuinely and my heart melted.
"Aunty, please, can I name my sis?" he asked making his best puppy eyes. Oh god, these green eyes.
I groaned but I had a smile on my face. "Argh, alright boy" and then he jumped on the place and clapped his hands. "I already know her name!" he squealed. I looked at Philip and Ernest who were looking with widened eyes at little Alex. "Really? You chose her name too fast" Ernest pointed out.
"Yes dad, I told you that I wanted a baby sister, and when I told you, on the other day I chose a girly name" he smiled revealing his small spaces from teeth.
"And what's the name?" I asked.
He made a serious look and in a stern voice, he said "Eveline, it means she will be giving life, a peace, but yet she will be a powerful animal"
We didn't say anything, we all looked at Alexander who was revealing a new side of him. Never knew a little boy could choose such a meaningful name.
Philip interrupted me from my thoughts, "Boy, I knew you will take it seriously. My boy, you will be a good brother" he hugged him and tickled.
I looked at Ernest who was holding a baby, oh not a baby, he was holding Eveline, the powerful and peaceful girl.

Eveline's POV
Where am I? Am I dead?
I was in the castle but there was another furniture, actually, it was more vintage. There were people but there were in very, very old clothes...
"Hey, what's going on?" I asked from the auburn-haired boy who was maybe six? He didn't answer me, it was like he didn't see me...Instead, he ran towards a beautiful woman, she had brown hair, blue eyes and she was in a big gown and she had a beautiful, golden crown on her head. Is she a queen? She hugged this little boy and they went upstairs. I am very curious who is she...Well, that's why I went after them.
They were laughing while this woman ran after the little boy, I ran after her and she turned right, entering one of the rooms. I saw them leaning towards the pink cradle and then I saw two men stood from the sofa.
I think they can't see me...alright. I came closer to the cradle and saw a baby. Why this baby is so familiar to me?
"My little princess! You are awake now!" On of the auburn-haired man with green eyes came to pick a baby.
They laughed and I saw how they spend a great time all together. The little boy was jumping around laughing, one man was holding a baby, the woman was hugging this man and the other was looking at them with happy eyes.
I didn't know why, but I wanted to cry. My heart sank, I clutched it so it wouldn't hurt but it didn't stop.
I watched them for a very long time until I heard a loud sound from the outside. They heard it too, one of the men looked outside the window at his expression changed.
"Take your daughter and go!" he screamed at the woman and another man who was holding a baby. The woman took a baby and ran towards a hall.
"What about you!?" he screamed.
"Don't worry about me! Take care of your wife and daughter! I and Alex will go find Roxana and we will find you after!" The other man hesitated for a moment but then ran after a woman.
I looked around worriedly. I looked at the man who was in search of something, then he opened one of the drawers and took two weapons. It was two small swords. Then he took a boy on his hands and said "Close your eyes son."
So this is his son! That's why they are looking so alike!
The boy closed his eyes and hugged his dad. They ran down the stairs and...god...what's happening? There were people running in panic and some were fighting, women and children were crying...It was chaos.
The windows were big and I could see a fire and hear loud shouting outside.
The men who were in black leather and wore masks, they were killing everyone on their way, men, women, children, they killed them all.
I wanted to scream but I couldn't.
I turned around to see where is the man who was holding his son. The boy was whimpering and sobbing and the man was looking around for someone, he was looking across the hall with a worried look, and then his eyes stopped...There was lying a dead woman in a pretty gown that was all in blood and her eyes were open looking at nowhere...
I heard loud screaming. It was him. The man who was holding his son and trying to close the boys' eyes but he couldn't...the boy already saw her...he was crying like his dad and they both were looking at the dead woman.
Then, the man hugged his son tide and they ran into the smoke somewhere.
I looked around and I saw how my vision turned to another...hospital?
