Ezra
I gasped, my breath catching in my throat as my knees buckled slightly. Allen immediately grabbed me, his face turning pale. "Ezra? Love, what's wrong? Is it the babies?"
"I..." I tried to speak, trying to brush it off, but another contraction ripped through my tummy, far sharper, and more agonizing than anything I had ever felt before. My legs gave out completely.
My breathing became ragged, and I held onto Allen for dear life.
"Guards!" Allen's voice was full of urgency and panic as he discarded his disguise. His words carried a deep edge as he issued a command that I was certain everyone had heard. "Bring the carriage immediately! Move quickly!"
The royal guards immediately took off their disguise and the carriage appeared.
"The babies, Allen... the babies are coming!" I barely managed to get the words out. Everyone looked at us with curiosity and wonder but I was too in pain to care.
