His Maid, Her Prince 26 The Not So Dead Mathew And Ava

I never thought I'd have the courage to speak up. I'm no longer scared. I told Child Services aboutthe things my dad said to both me and my mother. I did admit that my mother didn't have enough money. They said they wouldn't take me away considering I'm only 18. I wanted a happy ending and I was finally getting them. I strolled right into the palace a smile gracing my lips.

"AVA!" I spun around to see Anna racing towards me.

"h.e.l.lo to you too!" I said cheerfully.

"I have something to tell you."

"Yes?"

"ithinkimpregantwithmathewsbaby" she said at lightning speed.

"Can you say that again."

"I think I'm pregnant with Mathews baby." She waited patiently for my reaction.

"Are you sure?" She nodded in response.

"Have you told him?"

"NO!"

"You have to. He has a right to know. But I'll always be here for you if you need me."

"I'm going to be an Aunt!" I squealed.

I roamed around the halls looking for Mathew. I decided to check the training area because that's where he and Thomas spend most of there time. I was right there he was s.h.i.+rtless punching a punching bag.

"Mathew." He turned around. Surprised to see me here.

"Anna." He said while ripping the sweat off his face with his arm.

"I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" He said pa.s.sing her to get his water bottle if the bench.

"I'm pregnant." He spun around to completely face me now. Pure shock was written all over his face.

"What." He breathed out not believing me.

"I'm pregnant." I said again quickly. Then I started rambling on and on about G.o.d knows what. He quickly shut me up with a kiss filled with so much love. I just stood there. Now it was my turn to be shocked.

"Love you too." He smiled before kissing me again.

Ava's POV

I sat on my old bed in my old room here. Thinking of how my life changed in a matter of months. Thomas was forcing me to move into his room due to me almost being killed. I had packed up everything when I saw something. My old drawing pad. I picked it up and started flipping through it until I came across a blank page. Before I knew it I was starting to draw Thomas and I dancing that night that we kissed. He's going to love this!

It was the night that was the big party for the twins. Anna had told me how her and Mathew were going to make the announcement. I forced Anna into a lose pink dress and did her hair in natural curls. I wore something much more complicated. I wore a red dress that had a red rhinestone top and ruffles at the bottom. My dress was much bigger also.

We descended down the stairs into the ballroom. Balconies lined the whole room with marble pillars holding them. Something soon enough caught my eye. More like someone. Roshan. And Brook?! Everyone was having fun until it was time for the announcement. I quickly looked to see if I could find the two. But I had no luck. After Mathew successfully got everyone's attention the announced the news. People were clapping and cheering. Me? I was looking for Roshan and Brook.

After no luck, I turned back to the stage only to find a gun pressed to Mathews's head.

"Kneel." Ordered Roshan. G.o.d, I really hate this guy. Maybe thankfully obliged.

"Look a Royal kneeling." He laughed at his own joke while the rest of the room was quiet as a mouse.

"You see I want your crown. My original plan failed. It was to take away the ones you loved. And if you don't have the ones you love you feel empty right?"

"Yes." Mathew nodded bleakly.

"But considering Ava didn't leave when I called child services or die like I hoped I had to change my plan." He sneered.

"Now I'm just going to simply kill you and then take control. Invade Archerton. And become king." Gasps went through the room. Soon we were surrounded people in all black surrounded us on top and bottom.

"Say goodbye." A bang went through the room. Mathew fell to the floor. Anna collapsed next to him holding him. I ran up to him. I started looking for a pulse quickly.

"He's barely got a pulse hold pressure to the wound." She nodded while fighting to hold back tears.

I quickly turned around and punched Roshan in the face. I did the same to Brook who was, unfortunately, standing behind him.

"WE TRUSTED YOU TWO!" Tears treating to spill.

Roshan quickly regained composers and hit me back. I stumbled back tripping over my dress and falling off the platform. I landed with a sticking crunch. The last thing I heard was screaming and gunshots.
