The Queen Who Shares Love
Special 2 Pregnancy

"Are you sure this can cure all kinds of diseases?" ask Rose.

"Of course I'm sure. There are people who are seriously ill who drink the potion from the impact of this root immediately healed," replied the merchant who dressed oddly.

Jasper is now free to go in and out of the palace. Leticia allowed him to because he wanted to see Jasper's new stuff. If interested, he will buy it immediately. 

Jasper not only showed his things to the Empress. Mumpung was in the palace, he offered his goods to the citizens of the palace. Some are interested, but some are reluctant to buy it.

"Can I overcome infertility?" ask Isabella.

"It looks like it can," replied Jasper hesitantly.

"If in doubt, we don't buy" Dale said.

"I can't be sure, because it's usually only used for diseases" Jasper replied.

A year has passed since Judith called Gerald father.

Rose, Isabella and Dale were in Rose's room to discuss how to cure Leticia's infertility. They were looking back at Jasper. 

"How do we buy it or not?" ask Dale.

"It doesn't hurt to try it" replied Isabella.

"How do I get Leticia to consume that root? Will he consume it? What if she has already consumed it and is not pregnant? He'll be disappointed." Rose expressed her doubts.

"Since when have you been such a coward, Rose?" tease Dale.

"I'm not afraid to just think about the worst possible situation, if Leticia gets hurt," Rose said.

Isabella sighed. 'Maybe this is what Leticia felt while with the two of them' inwardly.

"We'll mix it in the food. I'll tell the head chef. If the taste of the food changes, I'll reassure her that it's because there are special seasonings to improve her health" Isabella explained.

"Good idea, my wife," said Dale.

"Well that way, Leticia won't be disappointed if the root has no effect" Rose said.

The three of them agreed to buy the black root. Execute their plan to get Leticia pregnant.

***

Judith is seven years old. Many applications began to approach him. Gerald and Leticia always rejected the proposal. 

Although, now that Judith could already choose a friend who really cared about her, her mother still told her to be careful.

Judith often visited her teacher's baby at the Wollard residence. She also stopped by to see baby Rose and Dean. Both babies are funny. He remembered his younger brother who was accidentally killed during the Gerald rebellion. It's a pity that the baby who doesn't know anything is dead.

Now Judith is eating with her mother and stepfather. He ate voraciously, in contrast to his mother who was like losing her taste.

"Is Mom okay?" ask Judith.

"Mom's okay, honey," Leticia replied not wanting to worry.

"If there's anything to tell me right away" Gerald said.

"Of course." Leticia smiled.

I don't know why he felt nauseous these few days. He kept putting food in his mouth. However, there was something that suddenly wanted to come out from his stomach. Leticia spewed out the food she had eaten earlier.

"Leticie!" "Mother!" gerald and Judith shouted at the same time.

They went straight to Leticia. 

"What's wrong with you, Leticia?" ask Gerald to worry.

"I don't know either. My stomach feels nauseous for a few days now" replied Leticia.

"I'll call the palace doctor. I'll just rest in my room, yes" said Judith.

Judith immediately sought out the palace doctor. Gerald carried Leticia to his room. Somehow Leticia felt embarrassed to be seen by the maids during their trip to her room.

Gerald leaned Leticia's body on the bed. The palace doctor had come along with Judith. Rose and Isabella on the way meet Judith who runs in.

The doctor checked Leticia's condition. His face looks bright with a smile. Everyone there was confused except the Doctor. Feeling their confused gazes he conveyed his diagnosis. "Good Empress, you're pregnant. Possibly twins."

Leticia. He doubted his hearing. 

'I'm pregnant?'

Suddenly happy tears flooded his face. She's pregnant. It's a miracle. Gerald hugged Leticia. He was not expecting a child. However, this gift really made her happy.

Isabella and Rose smile at their plan successfully.

All the happiness there was gone for a moment. Leticia looked at Judith with a questioning look. Gerald was confused.

Judith cried and left.

***

Leticia came to Judith who locked herself in her room all day. Judith curled. Leticia.

Leticia patted Judith on the shoulder, then turned her daughter's face to look at her face. There were tears on her daughter's cheeks.

"What's up, honey? You can tell it to Mom" Leticia replied as she stroked her daughter's cheeks.

"I don't want a sister" replied Judith.

Leticia flinched, but tried to respond to Judith calmly. "Why, Honey?"

"I don't want them to take away Mom and Dad's love."

Leticia smiled and kissed her daughter. "We will love you, baby. We won't forget you."

"But they're Mom and Dad's kids. I'm the son of the man you hate."

Leticia hugged her daughter. "You're also Mom's son, honey. Don't forget about it. I always love you."

"Then what about Dad? Father will surely love his own flesh and blood more than I have no relationship with Father" said Judith lirih.

"No, she must still love you, baby. If in doubt, you can ask her, "leticia replied.

Leticia takes Judith with her to meet Gerald who is in the Empress's room.

Judith saw Gerald approaching her. He closed his eyes, afraid that the Emperor would scold him. However, Gerald hugged her tightly. Judith returned his embrace. 

"Why don't you want to have a sister, Judith?" ask Gerald. Gerald's heavy and stern voice can make people think he's angry. However, Judith knew that Gerald was not angry that he understood her.

"I don't want them to take away the love of Mom and Dad. Especially your affection, because in them your blood flows while I don't" replied Judith innocently.

Gerald took off his embrace with a smile. "Father will love you even if you are not Father's flesh. If you have any doubts, then if you lie you can hit Dad as much."

Judith nodded. Leticia hugged them. His family will be happier with the twins.

***

During Leticia's pregnancy, Gerald visited her every day. Judith hesitated to see her parents behind the door. Leticia brought him in. Judith felt their warmth. He became more calm.

Gerald helped Leticia's work as little as possible. He picked up a paper and pen when Leticia wanted to write a letter. Bringing snacks for Leticia, even often hugging and pampering Leticia. Leticia was even confused to see her husband like this, the one who was once coldly considerate of her. Since their marriage Gerald begins to soften and increasingly show his affection, but Leticia feels Gerald's actions are too excessive.

Like now at night. Gerald hugged Leticia from behind while stroking her enlarged belly.

"Why are you like this Gerald?"

"I just can't wait for the birth of our baby."

"You kept your promise to Judith, didn't you?"

"Of course, Leticia. Judith is my daughter too."

Gerald kissed Leticia's lips. Leticia smiled back at her kiss. Gerald flipped Leticia's body to face her. He buried his face on Leticia's shoulder. Leticia stroked Gerald's head, noticing that something was stirring her husband's mind.

"What's up, Gerald?"

"I'm afraid of losing you. Your mother died from childbirth. I don't want that to happen to you, Leticia."

"That time my mother felt desperate and had no purpose in life anymore. Unlike me, I have you, Judith and the twins to be born. I'm not leaving you guys."

"Alright, I'll hold your word Leticia."

Gerald smiled slowly asleep in his wife's arms. Leticia was looking forward to meeting the twins.

The twins' birth day has arrived. Gerald paced in front of Leticia's room. Judith sat down while waiting for the birth of her sister.

Before long the door opens, indicating that labor has been completed. Gerald and Judith went in.

Leticia smiled with relief at the birth of her twin. Gerald held the two together, showing them to Leticia. Baby boys and girls who have black hair like Gerald. The baby boy has red eyes while the girl has golden eyes.

Gerald then shows the baby to Judith. Judith saw her two sisters. Both of his sisters are very funny. Suddenly, he was crying. He felt guilty for never wanting to see the birth of both of them. He promised to protect his two brothers in the future. 

With the new member, Judith hopes her family will be more harmonious. Judith hugged her mother, thanking her for giving birth to herself and her two younger siblings. They live happily ever after.
