A/n a small Natalie chapter, kinda want you guys to see how all of this is taking a toll on her

Natalie's Pov

I let out a small whimper, pain flowing through my waist down, I turned and noticed how my hips were beginning to bruise. I tried to sooth my breathing, only to begin crying uncontrollably, "My Queen are you- ah!" I could hear Pitch walk in and yelp, then I heard the door close and arms wrapped around me, "what happened?" He asked, placing a hand on my, naked, leg. I whimpered in pain and he looked down and noticed the bruises that decorated my legs and waist, "let me guess, he's still trying to create an heir?" He asked, I nodded, "This could be problematic for us, I mean if you get pregnant then it'll be harder to get you out of here safely," he sighed, "I-I d-don't want-" "I know you don't, but with how they have rewired his brain, he won't be able to fight against getting you pregnant," "how will he know I'm pregnant?" "Well you've been his queen for about 3 weeks, so he'll probably have one of our doctors take a look inside of you in another week," he stated, I placed a hand on my stomach, then slammed a hand into the floor, "I don't want that- that- thing's child inside of me!" I shouted angrily.

[A/n yes it has been about three weeks, kinda felt like letting people know how much time had passed]

" 'Thing's' that 'thing' is your friend, he's you best friend from what you tell me, and now you're treating him like he is a crazed animal that needs to be put down," he growled, letting go of me, before I could speak,however, he let out a yelp, "you're naked?! Put on something!" He shouted, I stood up and walked to the closet filled with clothes that made me feel like a slut, I settled for a tight fitting, black dress that hugged my every curve. "Not exactly what I'd pick but it'll work," "well excuse me if I have nothing in here that doesn't look like it belongs in a brothel!" I growled, he held up his hands in defeat, "I almost forgot that, sorry Natalie," my eyes widened at him, he hasn't ever taken to calling me 'Natalie' recently he calls me 'My queen' or 'idiot', "you just called me-" "don't read into it! It's not special that I'm calling you by your name!" He huffed.

"Well, thanks anyway, and I'm sorry I said that before, it's just that the thought of children scares me, I'd have no idea what to do with them, and the idea of abandoning them like my mother did to my brother and I- it just worries me," I said, "I'm sorry about you and your brother being abandoned, but I don't see you doing that to your child, I see you being a great mother," he stated. I smiled at him, I'm glad I have someone here to keep me grounded who doesn't look at me like an item, heck he didn't even attempt to get a peek at me while I was naked, which is a little odd, but I think it'll be okay.
