Queen Mate

Tired

Recap

"Excuse me but could I possibly wait for the Queen to wake in her room "I asked the nurse who shook her head and led me to Rosie's room

"Oh Rosy "I mumbled taking her limp slightly cold hand into mine

Jason's POV

I felt gentle motions on my chest as I groggily opened my eyes ,looking up I realized I was no longer in the uncomfortable waiting chair but I'm the uncomfortable hospital bed with Rosie snuggled into my chest as she lazily drew random shapes on my chest .

"Why didn't you wake me when you woke up ?"I whispered not wanting to disturb the peaceful quite

"You seemed so tired love "She whispered back in a tired voice

"As do you "I said gently rubbing her back

"Mhm well after the c-section I was just slightly tired but after the thrombectomy procedure I'm exhausted "She moaned snuggling deeper into my chest

"You scared the shit out of me "I mumbled leaning my chin on the top of her head

"I scared the shit out of myself "She mumbled tiredly

"Sleep love "I said kissing the crown of her head

2 hours later

After taking a two hour long nap I felt refreshed and a feeling of excitement course through me as we walked to NICU well I walked and pushed Rosie in a wheelchair seeing as she was still to weak to walk .

"Queen Rosalie,King Jason meet your two sons "The nurse said excitedly directing us toward the incubator that had our babies in them

"Aw Jason "Rosie gasped taking my hand tightly as she looked at our two very small babies

"Rosie did the doctor tell you that they have to stay here for 4-5 months until there officially fully grown ?"I asked worriedly

"Yes but you see when I was born I was born prematurely as well and my mother had a NICU room built in the palace so I would be close to her so I made arrangements with the doctor to have a nurse motoring the babies and guards standing outside and inside the room "She explained stunning me to silence

"I think we should name them now "She said after that

"Okay "I said waiting for her to continue

"Okay I picked these names because they each have a strong meaning behind them"She said before telling me the names

"Arch-Alexavier Black and Deondre-Destin Black "She said nervously

"Arch means Daring&Precious and Alexavier means Protector of the home .Deondre means Brave&Manly and Destin means determined "She said quickly

"I love them "I said causing her to smile brightly

"Really"She asked

"Really "I answered leaning down to kiss her cheek

"Okay you need more rest "I said standing up and wheeling her back to her room

"Ah there she is "My moms loud voice cooed

"Mom Rosy is very tired right now and can't have visitors "I said as I helped Rosie into the hospital bed

"Oh hush I just wanted to see how's she doing "She said waving me off

"How are you dear "She asked looking at Rosie and completely ignoring me

"Fine just tired "She said yawning and cuddling into her pillow

"Okay mom she needs rest "I said urging her to leave

"Okay okay jeez "She grumbled stroking Rosie's hair affectionately before leaving

"Your so rude "She said yawing again

"And your so tired"I said gently stroking her face until her eyes closed and her breath evened out

Rosie's POV

After seeing Arch and Deondre I can now sleep more peacefully so when Jason took charge and brought me back to bed I felt a wave of tiredness hit me .

1 hour later

As I began to wake up I felt light strokes on my cheek and even lighter kisses to follower after .

"Rosie love it's time to wake up ,I tried to keep the family out as long as I could but they really want to see you "He whispered kissing my cheek ,nose ,eyes and then placing a feathery light kiss on my lips

"Mhm I think I like waking up like this "I mumbled pressing my lips more firmly against his

"I love you "He whispered as he gently pulled away

"Say it again "I whispered locking my arms around his neck

"I love you Rosalie "He said not looking away from me as he gently held my cheek and kissed me

This kiss was much more passionate then the last ones we just shared he was pouring all his feeling into this kiss and I was matching the passion .After he pulled away he placed a bunch of small pecks on my lips as he gently stroked my cheek .

"Love I can see that's something's bugging you what is it "He asked still stroking my cheek

"I..."I started but stopped when I felt tears prick my eyes

"Tell me love "He urged gently taking my hand and giving it a tight but gentle squeeze

"For the first time in my life I...I was scared that I wouldn't make it..that I was going to die a-and it sc-cared me-e"I said starting strong at the beginning but completely crumbled and fell into loud sobs by the end

"I-I try to be..so strong for you, us ,the babies...our family..our people...but there's only so....much I can do or take before...I crack "I whispered still sobbing as I clamped my eyes shut tightly

"Rosie "He whispered almost as if it would pain him to talk louder

"I'm not that fierce leader everyone portrays me to be I'm really a scared and broken girl "I finished

"No love never say that again "He growled

"Rosali-"He started but was cut off by the door slamming open and the Family coming in

"My sweet rose "My Grandma said as she walked over to me and gently took my other hand seeing that Jason was still holding my hand

"It's okay to be scared and it's okay to ask for help "She started

"You don't have to do this alone anymore,you have a whole family who will pick you up and dust you off when you fall down .You don't have to be the fierce leader anymore,it's time for you to rest and let your people do there jobs and it's time for you to finally enjoy life ."My grandma said with tears in her eyes

"To long you've put your people ,your responsibility before yourself and now it's time for you to be selfish and do things for yourself ,it's time for you to do things you want to do and let other people handle the paperwork and meetings "She finished

"But.."
