Melissa is already nine month gone and labor has been disturbing her for a week now..All her army's have been sent to different part of mandre forest to get herbs..Melissa have been in pains,constant screaming at night as the baby refuse to come..
Fiona's herbs has almost run out because of how she widely used it for Melissa..she knows she have been giving other people chance to live for second time,but Melissa case is so hectic..
Today,Fiona have decided to bring out the baby no matter what,so she can start immediate treatment for Melissa or not she might give up due to pain..
"will I make it Martha?"..Melissa ask the crying Martha who have never seen something like this before,Melissa who was beautiful with the most amazing skin she have ever seen and touch look all boney,dark and smelly..
"Why must Nella did this?"Melissa was very inviting and friendly..Martha clean her tears...
"Yes my queen..you will make it,Fiona promised to brig out the baby today"..Martha said trying to console Melissa..
Childbirth for Melissa was another story..even with Adeya she saw hell,but she survived..this one scared her because she herself can feel her bone due to how thin and skinny she have become..the pains was extra than what she felt for Adeya..she can't feel her down part of her body,her big bulgy stomach was showing veins that she haven't seen in her body before,...
"The poison didn't want the baby to go Melissa,its like a curse..I have study it its one of Toona most deadly weapon.who ever did this didn't just want you to die but suffer and beg for death..say thanks to your mandre blood and the baby..your baby is special,he wants to come out but the poison keeps holding him down..thats the moment you use to scream and feel like your waist wants to pull out"..Fiona said pounding a black seed some of the armies who are back brought along..
She puts a green thick liquid as she mix it while speaking ancient mandre,she took Melissa palm and cut it as Melissa black blood fell inside the mixture before she used another knife to cut Martha and her own palm as their red blood fell inside the mixture...Fiona mixed them together as she continue to speak in ancient mandre this time deeper than what she do speak...
"Close your eyes Melissa,no matter what do not open,instead close them harder..this is for your survival and the baby"...Fiona said as she finally pour a white powder in the portion..
Melissa looked at Martha who nod her head before she closed her eye's..Fiona start to speak again as she brought out a new blade and start to cut Melissa abdomen open,Melissa couldn't hold the pain as she scream but couldn't open her eye's..
Fiona cut her abdomen open enough to drag the baby out..immediately she drop the blade,Martha help her to hold open the abdomen as Fiona deep her hand into the portion and pushed them inside Melissa.Melissa couldn't feel anything again like her body has gotten used to the pain,she just become restless..
Fiona brought out the baby boy as she immediately rob the baby the portion because he was kind of green due to the poison..she rob the baby the portion all over his body as she cut off the placenta and drop aside..Martha carried the baby who didnt cry and rap him in a white sheet and drop inside the crib.she immediately help Fiona who has rob the remaining portion inside Melissa as she immediately began to sew Melissa with Martha help..immediately she was done sewing Melissa,she asked Martha to call her name..
"My queen the baby is out".Martha whisper into Melissa ear..
Melissa slowly open her eyes that was full with tears,her eyes was swollen.she can't feel her lower part of her body.Martha brought the baby covered in a black portion who was looking straight into his mothers eyes as Melissa carried him,he look exactly like diatus,his handsome face makes her remember her handsome husband but he had Adeyas green eyes,that means he has also inherited her mother's ability...
The baby smile at his mother who couldn't talk as she cry and smile together..
"He is king diatus photocopy"...Martha said cleaning her tears..
Melissa was to weak to talk as she just smile..Martha carried the baby close to Melissa face as Melissa kissed his forehead smiling before closing her eyes and passing out due to tiredness..
Fiona brought out hot water as she cleaned Melissa up and rub her the normal herbal medicine and she forced the herbal tea into her mouth....
"She will be able to wake by tomorrow evening but she can't breast feed the baby due to her illness,but have send a guard to the market to get fresh goat milk that we can store for him"..
"OK..but we won't clean the baby up?"..Martha asked..
"No till a day..the portion needs to suck out the little poison that makes his skin little green out first"...Fiona said as she cleaned all the dark blood of the place Melissa was lying down..
Martha looked at the baby who was just looking with his green eyes..she smiled at him,you really an hero you survive the poison, you came out all healthy, you are really a king my baby prince..she smiled as she put the baby on his crib as she left to clean herself up..
After she was done she collect the fresh milk from the guard..
"Saline,the queen has gave birth to the prince,gather all the men let me bring you people to him"..Martha said as she smile going into Melissa room..
After feeding the little prince the milk,she was so surprise that the baby haven't open his mouth to cry..she slowly open his mouth to check his tongue,everything was intact..she went out and brought saline and his men in to see their little prince..
"Oh my,he looks exactly like the king"saline said as all his men nod in agreement and smile,they look at the sleeping queen who still look pale and skinny.
"Is the queen alright?"saline asked
"Yes..My godmother have start her treatment already..by tomorrow evening she will be awake.she passed out because of the pain"Martha said as she played with the prince fingers..
"I will make sure I train him to be great"saline said..
"Why did he look all black?"..one of the guards asked..
"The portion was used to drag out any poison in his body"Martha said as they all nod..
The little prince yawned as they all smile at his cuteness..
"OK..the prince said its time for a nap"Martha said as saline led his men out and Martha put the baby to sleep..

She reported exactly what happens but her father said...
"Adeya you know how emotional a pregnant lady use to be,stay away from her for your own good"he said as he didnt gave her face and walked away
This made Adeya to cry more and more until Ann came to pick her up and treat her wound..
