By the fourth month of the pregnancy, it became painfully clear that my body no longer belonged entirely to me.
It belonged to the babies. Yes! Babies! I am having twins! Sorry i didn't tell you before but long story short, During a royal medical check up Organized by the king, the Mages confirmed that there were two heart beats in my belly so yeah! That's the gist.
Everything about me had changed in small but undeniable ways, and the palace servants—who were far too observant for their own good—had started pointing them out with cheerful enthusiasm. My stomach now curved outward in a gentle roundness that no amount of loose clothing could hide, my cheeks had grown softer, my waist thicker, and somehow my entire body had taken on what Finn described as a "soft glow of life," which I personally suspected was just a polite artistic way of saying I had become plumper.
Not fat.
Plumper.
There was a difference.
At least that was what I kept telling myself.
Because i can't be fat!.
