Chapter 219 Bonus (E&R) – The Belated Honeymoon

**Ethan’s POV

it had only taken almost four years.

The war had left behind a mess. Roads, communication, mass transit, factories, all of that infrastructure as well as the economy needed to be rebuilt.

Rosalie and I had to get back to work the second day after our wedding, and we’d been working hard ever since.

During the past four years, we both had to travel a lot and sometimes we couldn’t even see each other for two or three months at a time. The good thing was, our hard work had paid off.

From Mirage to all the way to the Northern Tier and Winter Forest pack, everything was finally gotten to a place where the kingdom could run on its own, without needing us to handle every single detail of the day to day operations,

It was a good time for us to take a break. I could finally take my beautiful Rosalie for a belated honeymoon.

I walked out of my office, heading to my room, excited to start packing. I couldn’t wait to see her face lit up. I knew she had been looking forward to it as much as I had.

I hadn’t told her where we were going yet. It was supposed to be a surprise. I intended to take her to a private island, one she hadn’t been to before. I hoped that was something she would like and that she wouldn’t be reminded too much of her previous time on the islands.

Of course, I would take her wherever she wanted to go. As long as we were together, that was all that mattered to me.

I entered our room, excited to tell her my plan. However, I saw Seraphine leaning over the bed, talking to Rosalie in a quiet voice.

I saw her face was a paler shade of white than usual. “What’s wrong?” | asked, rushing to my wife’s side.

“Ethan,” Rosalie said, reaching for my hand, which I gave to her. Her hand was cold and slightly trembling.

I knew my wife well enough to know something must be going on. Tears in her eyes made my heart sink.

Was she sick-or something worse had happened? My mind went back to how I had felt when she’d been in a coma. My heart started to go crazy-I couldn’t lose her!

“What happened?!” I could almost hear the quivering in my tone. “Seraphine, tell me!”

“Your majesty,” a smile crept up on Seraphine’s face, which relaxed my tense nerves a bit. This was a good sign. I let out a breath that I was holding in a little relief.

“The queen is pregnant! Congratulations!” she exclaimed.

“Wh-what?” I could hardly believe my ears, and my brain was still processing the news. “Pardon me?”

Rosalie nodded and then reached to pick up a pregnancy test from the nightstand. A small smile crept up her face, “Ethan, I felt a bit nauseous earlier, so Seraphine suggested a pregnancy test. I’m about six weeks along!”

“What?” It seemed to be all I could say, Okay, that was why she looked pale. Hold on, that wasn’t what I should be focusing on…

I sank down onto the bed next to her. “We’ll have a second child?”

She nodded, her beautiful eyes on me. “Are you happy?”

Finally, the realization settled in. “I’m overjoyed!” | proclaimed. “Oh, Goddess!”

I couldn’t help but lean down and take her face between my hands. I kissed her deeply. With my forehead resting against hers I said, “The Moon Goddess has truly blessed us.”

“Yes, she has,” Rosalie nodded, kissing me back.

Tlaughed. “Rowan will want a brother to chase around and play fight Where is he anyway?”

“He’s with his aunt,” she said. “He will love the baby, no matter what Rowan is such a gentle soul.”

She was right about that. Our son had more of his mother in him than me, it seemed.copy right hot novel pub
