+CHAPTER 47+ The Vampire King
*Three and a half months later*
"Here try these, you know I made these myself." Rome proudly announced while placing a plate of fresh fruits on Amber's stomach.
"How can you make this Rome? These are fucking fruits cut in slices." Amber snorted.
"How many times I have to tell you to stop swearing around my godchild?" Rome yelled and Amber cringed at his shrill voice.
Rome's eyes widened dramatically at her reaction.
Leaning down Rome caressed Amber's stomach affectionately. "Sorry Princess, your godfather didn't yell at you. I was just yelling at your mother who is being unreasonable." Rome whispered to Amber's stomach.
Amber rolled her eyes at Rome's silly gestures. He loves to talk to the baby growing inside her. Ignoring him Amber started eating the fruits, she can barely see her own feet, her stomach was huge and Rome loves to use it as a table.
Emmeline had carried Amber for four months before she gave her birth and Amber was currently three and a half months into her pregnancy and she can't breathe. She had gained a lot of weight and she can barely walk without her feet swelling.
"I'm so going to spoil you with princess gowns. We can have our little tea parties and we aren't going to invite your mother if she won't stop being rude to your godfather." Rome cooed.
"Stop conspiring against me with my own blood Rome and just a friendly reminder it's not a girl. I have a feeling that it's going to be a boy." Amber said while stepping away from Rome and handing him the empty plate.
"No one asked for your opinion Amber. You are not the godfather of this baby, I'm!" Rome thumped his chest in an arrogant manner. "And as a godfather, I can sense that it's a girl. A little cute chubby princess." Rome sighed dreamily.
"Okay imagine all you want. Now can you place that chair over here? I can't stand for another moment" Amber grumbled impatiently.
"Stop being rude to me woman!" Rome snapped, giving her a nasty look.
"Someone is getting grouchy." Amber remarked.
"And you are getting old and fat." Rome retorted, sticking out his tongue at her.
Amber's lips twitched.
From the day Amber had started showing visible signs of pregnancy like vomiting her guts out, her stomach growing up to double to its original size, swelling in her foot, Rome had been carrying a wheelchair and a large bag with him which contains every fucking thing a pregnant woman can possibly need.
Amber was never going to admit how much she loved Rome for all his love and care because prasing him will boost his ego and Amber knew better than to boost the ego of a narcissist.
And Rome was the king of narcissism~
Before Amber could sit in the wheelchair Jimmy came out of nowhere and hugged her from behind.
The kid was getting fast, all thanks to his Fey mother and Amber's aunt.
"Why are you hiding behind me? What did you do this time? "Amber sighed.
"Come here you little shit!" Amber heard Darach before she saw him.
There he was standing in his all messed up glory~
Her eyes flickered towards his bleeding arm. Another bite mark~ Darach was vibrating with anger as he glared at Jimmy. But a gust of breath left his lips when his eyes collided with Amber.
It was the eighth time Jimmy had assaulted Darach. Amber had no idea what was going on between Jimmy and Darach and why was Jimmy holding such deep grudges against Darach.
Jimmy was a really sweet kid. He rarely fights with others but there was something about Darach that brings the worse traits of Jimmy on the surface. The kid loathes the mere sight of Darach.
Amber gazed at Darach, her face void of any emotions. He had changed a lot since the moment Amber had thrown him out of her home. They had not talked ever since then.
Emmeline, Connor, Aric and Darach had not left her Queendom. No matter how many times she had told them to leave. After a month Amber had just stopped telling them to leave.
Now she just pretent that they don't exist.
But it was difficult ignoring them when their sole presence demands her attention.
Darach had last a lot of weight. There were dark circles under his eyes. Which seems to darken after every night.
Something was bothering him, something that Amber can't pinpoint. Amber can tell that he had not slept in the past months.
Every night his wolf howls in the darkness~
It wails~
The sound he makes tugged at Amber's heart but it wasn't enough to melt the ice around her heart.
Darach rarely came close to her. The last time he had tried to touch her stomach Rome had gone berserk on him. Darach hadn't fight back.
He had just let Rome beat the shit out of him. But throughout the fight, he had smiled at her as if he was relishing the pain. Which had irked Amber. What was he trying to prove? No amount of physical pain was enough for the emotional distress he had caused Amber.
Even now he was just standing there, staring at her silently.
"You know he stares at you when you aren't looking. It creeps the hell out of me even thou I'm not the one he stares at." Rome whisper yelled.
"He stares at me even if I'm looking at him." Amber mumbled.
A hand tugged at Amber's shirt, breaking her stare from Darach she looked at Jimmy.
He was staring at Amber with innocent eyes. "It wasn't my fault my Queen." Jimmy batted his eyelashes innocently.
Amber's lips almost curred in a smile, she was sure that it was Jimmy's fault. The kid loves to torment Darach. And he was learning very fast to lie.
"Little bastard!" Darach swore under his breath.
"Get out of here! How many times I have to fucking tell everyone to stop swearing around my Godchild?" Rome yelled on top of his lungs.
And here we go... Rome lost his shit again~
"Rome you just swore yourself." Amber said trying really hard not to chuckle.
"That's because they can't stop swearing around my godchild which makes me want to swear back at them for swearing near the poor princess who isn't even born yet. They are polluting her baby ears!" Rome let out in a single breath.
Amber blinked at him, she didn't even get a single word of his little meltdown.
"Sit on the damn chair Amber it's your lunchtime." Rome said, placing the chair behind her after dragging Jimmy away from her. He gently pushed her on the chair.
Amber can feel jealousy coming out of Darach in waves. She had no idea how the hell was he keeping control of himself.
Suddenly a rage demon traced in front of Amber scaring the shit out of her.
"Here we go again! Fool how many times I have to repeat the new rules of this Queendom?" Rome groaned in annoyance.
"Do not trace around the Queen it startles her which is not good for my godchild!" Rome growled at the poor demon who licked his lips nervously while his gaze flickered from Rome to Amber.
The demon can clearly hand Rome his ass but he knew that Amber will slit his throat if he harmed even a single hair on Rome's head.
"Spill." Amber snapped at the demon, ignoring Rome's little meltdown.
Dark God! As her due date was coming closer Rome was having more meltdowns with each passing minute. A month ago he had asked Amber how the baby was going to come out of her small vagina?
Getting uncomfortable with the questions Amber had sent him to the human world to see it for himself.
Rome went into the human world and there he saw how babies are born by watching a baby coming out of a vagina live. He was bought back in an unconscious state.
And the Oracle did the remaining damage by telling him that supernatural births are a lot more worse than human births.
Poor Rome was terrified of the day Amber was going to give birth to her child. He was afraid of the pain she was going to endure. He even swore that he was never going to make babies himself.
"The Vampire King had come to meet you, my Queen." The demon announced pulling Amber out of her thoughts.
What!!!
Amber's eyes light up at the mention of Vladimir. Amber wasn't very proud of the hospitality she had offered to the King of Vampires last time.
But what had brought him to her Queendom this time?
Amber recalled Vladimir's last words to her. 'I don't mind having a fierce Queen like you dear. It will be my pleasure to have the honor of courting you.'
Did he come back for her?
"Looks like you got yourself a date, my Queen." Rome teased Amber which earned him a silent growl from Darach.
If looks could kill then Rome would have been six feet under the ground. Darach was throwing daggers at Rome with his piercing gaze.
