A Very Happy Ending.

[Claire]
Three months later
"Honey, you have to get out of bed." Luke kissed my ear as he tried to get me to get up.
"No, let me sleep, I want to sleep." I whined and tried to roll away from him but he caught me.
"You need to wake up my sleepy wife because today is my coronation and I need my beautiful wife by my side." He said and my eyes shot open immediately.
"The coronation?" I looked at him in shock and he raised his brows at my question.
"You don't remember it's today?" He asked.
"Of course I remember." I lied as I tried to get up from the bed. "Please help me up, there's much to be done." I told him in a scolding tone.
"Oh, now you're in a hurry, I thought you wanted to sleep in." He teased me but I just frowned at him.
"Whatever, I'm a pregnant woman." I said and rubbed my big belly then just as I usually did everything money, I checked the calendar to see when my child was due.
"It's a new month." I turned to him and said excitedly.
"Yeah, happy new month babe." He said and kissed my nose. "You're cluelessness can be really cute." He smiled.
"Quite teasing me." I frowned at him.
"But you're so cute." He made cute eyes at him.
"No, Mr. This time that won't work." I covered his eyes with my hand. "No kisses for you today." I said and he peeled my hand away from his eyes immediately.
"What, that's unfair." He pouted his lips and I almost contradicted my leaning to kiss him but then I just shook my head and turned to the bathroom.
"That's what you get for teasing a pregnant woman." I laughed at him and walked into the bathroom.
"I'm sorry, my wife." He kissed the back of my neck and held my hips.
"Luke." I moaned softly.
"I thought we could take a shower together, what do you say?"He asked, nibbling my ear softly.
"Luke, you know it hurts right now." I whined mostly because I was upset that it hurt.
"I didn't mean that." He laughed. "You my dear wife, have a dirty mind, you're too close to your due date for me to want to have sex, I'm too excited as it is." He said and laughed again.
"Go away." I pushed him away and entered the bathroom myself and shut the door immediately.
Then I laughed at myself as I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I looked a mess with my blotchy skin and my bird nest hair.
I wasn't worried though, I knew that Sophie and Michele would work their magic on me in a few hours and I would transform into a beauty queen.
When I got out of the bathroom, Sophie and Michele were already waiting for me.
Sophie had gotten married a month after my wedding and she was already three months pregnant now while Michele was already engaged to Jack but they were yet to tie the knot officially.
"Hey, good morning your highness." They teased me as I walked in.
"Well, good morning my loyal subjects." I grinned as I teased them back.
"How is the baby?" Sophie and I asked each other immediately and we laughed, then we belly bumped each other.
"Why all of this is really nice,you both remember that we have a time constraint." Michele said as he dropped his huge makeup box on the floor.
"I got you some amazing dresses, you're gonna love them." She grinned as she clapped her hands and two men wheeled in a huge wardrobe of clothes.
I sat through hours of makeup and hear and different outfit try-on before Sophie exclaimed that she had seen the one.
Since I was now a member of the royal family, I couldn't do very colorful makeup and I couldn't show too much legs and cleavage. Sophie had been vexed about that because she liked to bare my cleavage and legs out whenever she styled me but she soon got over it.
The dress Sophie picked was a silver and white colored gown, it was armless and snug from my chest to my waist then it spread out to my ankles, it had beautiful shimmers on the lace and it was just absolutely gorgeous.
She made me wear matching silver heels and long silver gloves.
Michele styled my red hair in a high sleek back ponytail and he curled the ends. I had on a simple no-makeup make-up look but then he gave me a dashing red lip.
"Wow, guys, this is amazing." I smoothed my hand down the dress, just like my wedding gown, it hid my baby bump in the huge flay skirt of the gown and I looked really amazing.
"Of course, you look great every time but now you need to hurry." They said and started packing up their things.

"Is your majesty willing and able to take the oath?"I watched as the Archbishop asked Luke.
"I am willing and able." He said and I smiled, I knew that indeed he was.
The Archbishop rushed through the vows and soon the entire congregation stood up as the crown was placed on Luke's head, his father looked at him with pride and tears in his eyes. I was happy that he was alive to see this day.
It was indeed a happy day for both of them.
"Long live the King." The people chanted as Luke rose up with the crown on his head, the robe on his shoulders, the scepter and the globus cruciger in his hands.
After his coronation was over, my coronation as Queen consort took place. I looked straight into Luke's eyes as I said my oath and pledged to carry out my duties with all diligence and fairness.
He kept smiling at me and urging me on, after my coronation, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply.
After the coronation, we stood at the royal balcony to wave to the people, who looked so happy chanting long live the King and Queen below us.
At first I was scared that they might not accept me because I was a foreigner but the reverse was the case, they loved me so much and accepted me.
I did not know if it was the nervousness of the day or excitement but I suddenly felt a pain in my back and then water began to pool beneath my feet.
"Oh, no!" I exclaimed and Like turned to me.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I think I peed myself." I told him and he laughed heartily but then he paused and turned to me.
"Your water just broke."
"My water just broke."
We said it at the same time and I began to scream immediately as the painful contractions began to hit me.
I held my back with my hand as Luke led me into the palace immediately.
"Get the car." He ordered loudly. "The Queen is having the baby."

"Push, push, your highness, you're almost there." The nurses encouraged me as I screamed and pushed harder, Luke was holding my hand and I was glad that he was with me every step of the way.
"It's coming, the baby is coming, push." The nurses yelled.
"No, no more." My back hit the bed in exhaustion, I was sweating profusely and I was in a lot of pain.
"You have to try, come on, you have to push, your highness." The doctor tried to encourage me but I just shook my head as tears poured out of my eyes.
"Darling, our child is almost here, please push, you're so brave my darling, you're so strong." Luke squeezed my hand and I stood up as I tried my hardest to push again.
Finally after a few more grunts and pushes, a cry of a baby filled the air.
"It's a boy." The doctor announced and Luke and I smiled.
"Let me hold my son." I told the doctor but as he was about to pass the child to me, I started screaming again.
"Oh my goodness, I don't believe it, there's another one, another baby is coming." The doctor looked shocked as he hurriedly passed the first child to a nurse and rushed under me again.
"Push, push, push."
I didn't have to push as much as I did the first time before the second child came out and I sighed out of relief.
It was finally over and my babies were safe.
"It's a girl." The doctor announced and I laughed.
In a way, both Luke and I were right, we had both a boy like he had said and a girl like I had said and that too on our coronation day.
"What are we going to name them?" I asked Luke as I nursed them both, each babe sucking on my boobs.
"We'll name her Camille after my mother." He said and lightly touched her face.
"And him. Camillo." I said and he smiled. "Because they're so perfect."
"Thank you for coming into my life, thank you for bringing the most precious things into my life, Claire, I love you." Luke leaned down and pressed a kiss on my forehead.
"I love you too."
