Chapter 32

Adele

Those two long weeks we had left had finally passed and my hope to see Zayden any day was high. My morning began with the perfect sunrise. An array of pinks, oranges and yellows filled the sky and I woke to the sights while facing the balcony.

I sat up on the edge of the bed then put my hands on my stomach and looked down. Zayden’s been gone for weeks and I was just starting to get a small baby bump that I’ve already been calling Seth.

“I wish you could see this. It’s a beautiful winter morning.” I slowly got to my feet and knew it was time to get ready for the day.

“Good morning, your majesty.”

“Morning, Marie.”

“Shall I draw your bath?”

“Please.”

Marie walked through the room into the bathhouse to start it as I made my way around the bed, following. She was filling the porcelain tub with warm water and fragrant oils that smelt of rose.

“Mmm, I love that scent.”

“It is your favorite, your majesty.”

“Yes, Marie and how many times have I asked you to just call me Adele?”

“One more time as always, your majesty.”

I smiled as I approached the long sinks with the mirror behind it. That smile turned into a sigh when I saw how tired I looked with messy hair. I raised my hands and used my gift to straighten it out to its perfect sleekness and shine. “Much better.”

“Your bath awaits.”

I turned and Marie was patiently waiting by the tub with a smile. I smiled back as I walked over and removed my night shirt completely before Marie held my hand and helped me down into the warm water.

It felt so relaxing and I rested my head on the bath pillow. “This is perfect.”

“You always say that, your majesty.” Marie used the sponge and started to clean me up.

“Because it always is.”

“And just wait and see how more perfect it will be when your Prince returns.”

My happy mood became a bit saddened and I held up a soapy hand. “That’ll do, Marie.”

“Forgive me, your majesty. I know you miss him.”

“Yes. You may go. I’d like to be alone for a while.”

“Of course, your majesty.” Marie got right up from the side of the tub and left the bathhouse. I hoped I didn’t sound too rude but I really did want to be alone.

I sat once in a relaxed oasis but now was thinking about Zayden and became depressed. “It’s been so long.” I looked down to my stomach through the water, talking to my son. “Too many days and they never seem to get any easier. I miss him and I’m sure he misses us.”

I laid my head back and rested while thoughts of Zayden were on my mind. I was trying to image what it would be like to see him again and every outcome brought a smile to my face and a joyous tear in my eye but it wasn’t long before I decided to get out because I was feeling hungry. I liked to think that it was because Seth wanted me to eat whether that was true or not.
