85. Happy Facts
Erick felt extraordinary worry. He immediately lifted Angel's body which was lying on the floor. He took the body running, heading to their room. At the same time, the sound of baby Erlena crying was heard, followed by the appearance of the baby being held by Anne.
"Oh my, Your Majesty!" shouted Anne with a shocked face. "What happened to His Royal Highness Angel?"
Erick didn't answer, he continued walking into his room. He lowered Angel's body gently to the surface of the bed, sat beside her and stroked Angel's pale face. "What happened to you, Angel?"
"Father...."
The tiny voice sounded in Erick's head again, making him suddenly turn around quickly. It turned out that Anne had followed them in with baby Erlena in her arms.
"Do you know what happened to your mother?" Erick asked while looking at his little daughter.
"Eeenggg... eengg...." Baby Erlena whined, leaning towards her father.
"Give me Erlena," asked Erick, holding out both hands. He grabbed his little daughter's body, then sat her next to Angel's body.
As usual, baby Erlena will immediately shut up. She stretched out one hand and rubbed the surface of her mother's stomach which was still covered by her clothes. Surprisingly, her tense face suddenly showed a big smile, even squealing with joy.
"Should we call Dr. Weisz, darling?" Erick asked with a frown.
Baby Erlena shook her head with an adorable expression, still continuing to rub her mother's stomach. She roars cutely, but also talks through thoughts with her father. "Mother is not sick, Father... mother is fine."
"Then why did she faint?" Erick's forehead still looked deeply furrowed.
Baby Erlena turned to her father. She pulled her father's hand to rub her mother's stomach. "There's my little brother here, Daddy."
Suddenly Erick's body stiffened, his brown eyes widened and his mouth gaped in disbelief. Moreover, right now his hands can't feel anything on Angel's stomach, plus baby Erlena is not yet four months old.
"Angel... pregnant?"
"Dad doesn't believe me?"
Erick blinked rapidly at baby Erlena's question that sounded in his mind. He stared at Angel's stomach which was still flat with a look of disbelief. "But... how is that possible?"
Baby Erlena laughed loudly at her father's ridiculous question, but she whined again by reaching out one hand towards her mother's unreachable face. "Eenggg... eenggg...."
Erick, who realized this, immediately moved his daughter closer to Angel's face. He himself was still confused with all the questions running through his mind.
This time Erick saw how his daughter closed her eyes while gently stroking Angel's face. He knew what baby Erlena would do, because he knew that his daughter's healing ability was greater than any doctor's.
Sure enough, slowly Angel's eyelids began to move, followed by the same frown. Next, a soft moan came from Angel's slightly parted lips.
"Honey..." Erick leaned towards Angel, "are you awake?"
"I... am thirsty," said Angel hoarsely.
"What do you want to drink, hm?"
"Blood."
Erick turned to Anne who was still standing behind him. "Anne, quickly get some fresh blood."
"Yes, Your Majesty." And in an instant, Anne disappeared from the room.
"Aaauuum... aummmm...." baby Erlena babbled with one hand gently stroking her mother's cheek.
"Honey," Angel muttered softly with her eyes slightly open, her lips forming a small smile.
"She's worried about you," said Erick as he rubbed Angel's sweaty forehead. "What actually happened to you?"
"I... suddenly felt dizzy. My eyes were dizzy and my body felt weak for a moment," explained Angel, trying to remember what had happened to hers earlier.
"Dad, don't you want to tell mom?" said baby Erlena in her mind.
"Father has to make sure first before telling your mother," Erick also answered through his thoughts.
"Erick..." Angel called softly.
"Yes dear?"
"Aren't you going to the castle?"
"I... can't possibly leave you like this. I will postpone everything."
"No." Angel shook her head slowly. "I don't want our wedding to be postponed."
Erick smiled gently. "Not on that one, Angel... because I also want to be your husband soon."
Angel smiled gently, her gaze shifted to baby Erlena. "Hi, darling... I'm sorry mom didn't take care of you all day."
"Aaaummm... aaauummm.
"She said it was no problem. Erlena really understands your situation," said Erick, who seemed to be a translator.
"Why does she only want to talk to you?" Angel protested for the umpteenth time, looking at the faces of baby Erlena and Erick alternately.
Instead of answering, baby Erlena chuckled happily. Meanwhile, Erick just shrugged his shoulders slowly, because he didn't know why baby Erlena only wanted to communicate with him.
"Sorry, Your Majesty." Suddenly Anne arrived carrying a tray containing a dark red drink. "This is the blood you asked for."
"Thank you, Anne," replied Angel, moving to sit down.
"Drink slowly." Erick helped hold the glass filled with fresh blood, pressing it to Angel's lips.
Angel drank it greedily, as if he wanted to immediately wet her throat which felt so dry. Slowly, the dizziness in her head began to disappear, replaced by a feeling of freshness throughout her body.
"Aaahhh... so sweet," Angel sighed with a sigh of relief.
"How does your body feel now?" Erick asked with his hand stroking Angel's cheek which was already showing its color.
"Much better, I don't feel weak anymore."
"Then get some rest. Tomorrow, you just cancel the meeting with the designer-"
"I don't want to," Angel interrupted quickly, her lips pursed cutely.
"But you still don't feel well."
"I'm fine," Angel said with a spoiled whine. "After I sleep tonight, I will definitely be healthy again tomorrow."
Erick took a deep breath. As usual, he could never win an argument with that woman.
"You're leaving tonight?" Angel asked again.
"No, I will accompany you and go tomorrow."
"Is that okay?"
"You are more important to me, Angel..."
Angel was silent, folding her lips to suppress the smile that was ready to bloom. Even so, she couldn't hide the red blush on her face because of the warm tingling that was starting to spread.
"We'd better sleep now," said Erick firmly.
"Let Erlena sleep here," Angel asked.
Erick just nodded slowly, then placed Erlena in the middle between them. He also lay down, facing the two women he loved so much.
"Do you want breast milk, honey?" Angel stroked baby Erlena's cheek gently.
"Eeengg... eegg...." The baby seemed to be whining while rubbing the surface of her eyes with her tiny fingers.
"Mom will breastfeed you." Angel pulled baby Erlena's body closer, then pressed the top of her chest against the baby's small lips.
Sure enough, baby Erlena immediately devoured the top of her chest, sucking so hard. Angel smiled gently, feeling a rush of happiness every time she breastfed her daughter.
"She... why is she so big?" Angel looked at baby Erlena's sleeping face, occasionally stroking her chubby cheek.
"She's growing very fast, at only four months old she can even sit up straight," replied Erick, who also rubbed the baby's head gently.
"Maybe I should focus more on taking care of Erlena. I don't want her to lack love from me."
"You can do it any time."
Angel's gaze shifted to Erick.
"It's better for me to use contraception to delay pregnancy, because I don't want to get pregnant again."
Erick's body immediately froze, his face stiffened when he heard those words.
"Why?" Angel noticed the change in the man's expression. "Do you want to have another child from me soon?"
"We will indeed have another child soon, Angel."
