The Last Embrace

Jessy woke up to a blissful morning, she felt energized even if she only have few hours of sleep last night.

After making her bed, she went inside the bathroom and took a quick shower looking forward to meeting her mother in the canteen for their daily breakfast routine.

A few minutes later, done with dressing, she exited her room and strolled in the hallway.

She spotted Princess Abigail exiting her room, she waves at her.

The princess comes running towards her, wearing a bright smile on her face.

"Jessy...good news!" Princess Abigail blurted out.

Jessy stopped on her tracks. "Tell me what is the good news, Abi?" she asked curiously.

"Hannah finally give birth to a healthy baby boy last night!" Abigail shrieked in happiness.

Instantly, Jessy"s face broke into a dazzling smile. "OMG! That"s good news indeed! Where are the mother and the newborn baby? I want to see them!" she said excitedly.

"In Hannah"s room, the new mother was recuperating," the princess replied.

"Good, let"s go there!" Jessy said energetically.

Jessy and Princess Abigail sauntered towards Hannah"s room.

Inside the room.

They found the queen busy taking good care of her newborn grandson.

Jessy went to Hannah"s side.

Just in time for Hannah to open her eyes.

"Hi, Hannah...how are you feeling now?" Jessy smiled at her friend.

Hannah smiled back at Jessy. "I"m feeling great! I"m finally a mother! I finally give birth to my son after nine months of waiting..." she said.

Jessy saw the amazing glow on Hannah"s face. "Do you want to eat something? I can get some soup in the canteen, it"s perfect for a nursing mother," she offered.

Hannah smiled. "Jess, you had forgotten that I"m not a mortal yet, I"m still a vampire," she reminded her friend.

"Ugh! Silly me!" Jessy laughed aloud. "I"m sorry I have forgotten," she grinned from ear to ear.

"Did you see my baby boy?" Hannah asked looking like every inch a proud mother.

Jessy glanced at the queen and the princess. "Later...I want to talk with you first. I just want to make sure that you are alright."

"I"m perfectly alright. The pain of labor did not last long, the moment I heard my son cry for the first time all the pain evaporated into thin air," Hannah explained.

"I"m happy to know that you were having an easy time during the labor stage. I can"t wait to see and hold the baby in my arms..." she looked at the queen and the princess still smitten by the new addition to the royal family.

A few moments later, the queen exited the room.

Princess Abigail brought the newborn into the bed and placed the sleeping baby beside Hannah.

Jessy watched the sleeping infant, she can"t help but smile. "Awww...so cute...he looks like an angel!" she cried in awe.

Hannah looked at her son adoringly. "My only treasure in life, my son!" she muses.

"Girls, I will go out for a while, I will return later," Princess Abigail said.

"Go ahead Abi," Hannah replied.

Once the princess was already out of earshot, Jessy asked her friend. "D-did Zain know that you already give birth to his son?" she asked.

Hannah shook her head. "Not yet. But I heard that the queen and the king will visit Zain in his room later to present our baby to him," she said sadly.

"How about you? Why don"t you come with them?" Jessy asked again.

Hannah sighed. "I will just continue recuperating on my strength here inside my room. After I"m strong enough to leave my room, I will visit him together with my son one of these days."

"Okay. Rest well then. I will look after the baby while Abi and the queen have not returned yet," Jessy urged her friend to take a rest.

Hannah obeyed and closed her eyes.

Jessy went to the baby and place pillows on both sides to prevent him from falling accidentally from the bed. She looked at the angelic face of the baby...hoping that the birth of Zain"s son into this world can finally set her free.

She sighed.

Queen Margaret and Princess Abigail returned after a few minutes. Jessy exited the room and went to the canteen to meet her mother for breakfast.

~~~o0o~~~

Early evening, after dinner.

Jessy teleported into Adam"s place wanting to inform him about the good news that his nephew was already born into this world.

She arrived in an empty place.

"Looks like they"re still outside," Jessy murmured to herself.

She settled comfortably inside Adam"s room and lay her body down in his cozy bed.

She was getting bored inside the room, she went to the living room and watched a random show on television.

One hour later.

Adam and Caden entered the condo unit and pleasantly greeted by Jessy"s smiling face.

"Good evening, guys!" Jessy smiled at the residents of the house.

"Good evening too, Jess!" Caden returned her greetings and proceed to the kitchen to put the groceries in the cupboards and the fridge.

Adam grinned and walked to her side, he planted a kiss on her forehead. "Sorry to keep you waiting. How long have you been waiting for us?" he said and lowered himself on the sofa beside her.

"I patiently waited for one hour," she answered. "Because I have good news for you!" she exclaimed in glee.

Adam looked expectantly at her. "What is it? What is the good news?" he asked eagerly.

"Hannah had already given birth to a healthy baby boy! Congratulations! You already got a nephew!" Jessy grinned.

"Wow! That"s very good news indeed!" Adam beamed. "I"m excited to meet my little nephew!" his eyes were flashing with excitement.

"You will go back with me to the Facility to meet the baby?" she asked.

"Yes, of course! I"d love to!" Adam responded. "But let"s eat dinner here first then after that...we will go to the Facility together to see my nephew," he said.

"You need help in preparing dinner?" she looked at him.

Adam shakes his head. "No need. Just rest and relax here, Caden and I will prepare the dishes for our dinner," he said.

"Okay!" Jessy replied and smiled. She shifted her attention back to the interesting doc.u.mentary about the catastrophic effects of global warming towards mother earth, she started watching it a while ago and it caught her interest greatly.

One hour and thirty minutes later, Caden and Adam were finally able to produce four delicious dishes, such as spicy chicken curry, fried fish, creamy mushroom soup, and stir fry pork with vegetables.

They gathered in the dining table and began attacking the appetizing dishes.

After a while.

"How does it taste, Jess?" Caden asked her opinion about his collaboration with Adam in the kitchen.

Jessy grinned and gave the guys a thumbs-up sign. "Amazingly delicious!" she gushes and adds more serving of spicy chicken curry into her plate.

The trio grinned at each other and continue eating.

One hour later, done with dinner, Jessy and Adam teleported into the Facility while Caden cleaned up all the mess in the kitchen... whistling while washing dirty dishes in the sink.
