Chapter 3 New start
Aaron pov
"Noelani! Noelani, can you hear me? Answer me please! " my voice was breaking while I called for her! "Mira! What's happened? Before the explosions, did you see anything? "
"Your Majesty... When My Queen went to the bathroom I followed her, even if I knew she didn't want me to...I did. I couldn't let her alone while pregnant. I love my Queen, Sire. She's like an older sister to me..she always was. I can't feel otherwise even if I know it's wrong...I'm just a maid after all." Mira said with teary eyes.
"So I waited for her outside. I knew she went into the men's bathroom, so I just stayed next to the door stopping every man to go in. When she came running and crying outside I panicked. I didn't know what's wrong. And then before the door closing, I saw King Kai and Lady Tal hand in hand in the bathroom. "She start sobbing "I felt her pain...My Queen's heart was shattered. She was broken"
"The f.....g moron! How dare he doing this! I should kill him right now! But I know my Noelani wouldn't want this "I sigh while caressing her face. Her silver hair was dump now and her skin was so pale and bruised.
"Oh, Noelani! You poor soul..You didn't deserve that".
It's been 8 days since the incident and Noelani was still in a deep sleep.
The doctors were afraid that if she didn't wake up in the next 2 days the baby will be in danger of death. I couldn't let that happen. Not to Noelani.
"Mira, you should go take a shower and eat something. I'll stay watching her" I said sounding more like a demand. With a small nod, she left the room.
It was just me and Noelani now. I was holding her hand when she starts thrashing violently.
"Help! Help her, please!" I scream as the doctors came in. They start checking her and running around. Her heart was beating so fast. Beads of sweat were visible on her forehead now.
"My King you need to get out now, please! We need to operate her urgently to save the child
Hopefully won't be too late."The doctor said pushing me out the door.
Mira came back running, breathing hard. She opened her mouth to say something but closed back as there's no sound coming out.
The doors of the hospital hall opened and a curly black hairball jumped in my arms.
"Daddy!Daddy! Are you sad? "Said my
5 old son, Oren, wiping my tears with his little hands.
"No my son, I'm not! I'm so happy now, seeing you and your mommy. " I said searching my wife's, Erin, eyes. She gave me a small smile and kiss Oren's head and then my cheek.
"Your Majesty !" Mira said to my wife bowing her head.
"Mira! I do glad to see you're feeling better. Your arms are almost healed. "she smiles nodding back to Mira.
After 12 hours of waiting it was just me and Mira...It was 2 am. Erin took Oren to bed around 11 o'clock.
I was sipping on some hot coffee when the operation room's door swung open. One of the doctors getting out with a crying baby in his hand.
"It's a girl! " He said with half mouth. My eyes went to the bed behind him. It was full of blood. Doctors and nurses trying to stop the bleeding. My heart ached.
"Aa...Aaron...Aaron!" came Noelani's voice. I rush past the doctors and I took her extended hand in mine.."Noelani " I whisper.
"Aaron..m..my baby! Ta take care of my baby please!" she pleaded while the tears that flooded her eyes were now streaming down her cheeks and neck. I nod, as I couldn't say anything.
"Promise me, Aaron! Promise you'll take her under your wing..take her as your own. Don't let anyone know about her. You need to keep her safe Aaron. Promise me please." She pleaded again as more tears well up in her eyes.
"I will," I said. "I promise to take her as my own."
Mira came in with the baby, who was now quiet and pulling at Mira blonde curls. She giggled and Mira was smiling with tears in her eyes. "She is so beautiful, My Queen! "she said.
"Bring her to me, please, Mira! I just want to hold her one more time!"
"My Queen, forgive me, but I'll say you're silly, you'll get to hold her every day from now Mira said looking everywhere but not at Noelani.
Noelani burst into laughing. But then started coughing violently till blood was coming out in the corner of her now almost blue lisp.
"I always like you the most, Mira! You always surprised me with that mouth of yours! I'll like to stay and hold my baby" she said brushing her fingers on the baby cheek, " and listening to that mouth of yours. But my time has come old friends " she was now looking between Mira and me" and I want to thank you for being my friends and for showing me that there's no need to have the same blood to be brothers or sisters ".A small smile showing on her lips.
"I'll let my child in your care, hoping that you both will love her as you loved me. " she put the baby next to her and extended her arms for hugging us. And we hug and cry together.
After few minutes she released us from her embrace and turn her face to the now smiling baby.
"Evolet...Her name will be Evolet. And she won't know about her parents till the time comes! "she said passing me the baby.
"But how we'll know when the right time is, Noelani? "I asked
"You will! Trust me! Promise me you'll be by her side all the time, caring for her and help her be strong!" Then she closed her eyes with a sigh and si was gone. Noelani was gone...
"I promise my friend "I whisper turning my eyes to the baby. She was watching me with big doe silver eyes, not knowing that she just lost her parents. Such a cruel fate.
Evolet, the daughter of Water King Kai Zale and Noelani Zephyrine was now in my care. Was now, my daughter.
Evolet Wood, a princess of the Earth Kingdom.
