Willow Baker POVThe Next Day"Are you sure none of you want to have a day off?" I asked to be sure once more as I stared at my personal servants.Asa stirred in my arms, probably curious about where we were headed. I had only told her that we were meeting with her father at his office but not where we would be going afterwards.Initially, I wasn't too sure myself. At the time, I hadn't thought about where we could go when I suggested to Maverick that we spend some quality time together. It was a spur of the moment decision.After I returned to my room, I found myself panicking when I realized what I had done. This was exactly like last time, which Maverick had seemed to have forgotten about. I couldn't blame him, as I had forgotten about it too

Willow Baker POV'Stop racing heart. There's nothing to be nervous about. It's a simple picnic.''Are you sure about that?''You're not helping here.'It wasn't like I never sat next to Maverick before or that we never spent time with each other. They didn't happen often, but they did. However, it felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest.I was doing all I could to avoid staring at Mavericks to avoid looking like a creep because, when I looked at him, it felt like my face was going to burst into flames. This was so unlike me.Was I really that nervous about the picnic going well?At least I had the others to support me in case I did something embarrassing. On the other hand, they would see me do something embarrassing. Both thoughts kept me from properly enjoying the picnic.Asa laughed and clapped her hands as she ate the food Maverick was spooning her. It seemed like one of us was enjoying herself, and I smiled. She deserved the whole world.Looking back at my three personal

Willow Baker POVMy first instinct was to immediately tell him no and that everything was fine, but I was able to stop that impulse. If it wasn't a hard question, I would have answered right away, which I didn't. Also, I clearly wasn't okay.As I thought about what to say, Maverick said, "It's alright if you don't have an answer. You don't have to say anything."He always did this. Maverick was always taking my feelings into consideration. That wasn't to say he never pushed me. There were definitely times where I felt pressured by him, but they were always for a good reason, even if I didn't like it.Someone like him deserved to know what I was thinking about, especially since I was the one to involve him in my problems and he already knew about my other life.However, I couldn't do it with the others around. It wasn't that I didn't think they were trustworthy, but this was quite personal. Sharing with Maverick had already been a huge effort on my part, and that hadn't been completely

Willow Baker POVAs we got closer to my room, there was a commotion, and we all stopped to watch several servants running about in a panic. Confused and worried, I held Asa closer to me and glanced at Sir Kerry, who noticed my look.He nodded his head towards me before rushing towards one of the panicking servants. My personal servants made a circle around me as if to protect me from any possible harm.With our keen hearing, we could hear Sir Kerry ask the servant, "What's happening?""Lady Diana has gone into labor," the servant said.What?Truthfully, I shouldn't be surprised. Everyone had known it was going to happen soon. It was the reason why she had been kept in her room and why I had tried to study books about pregnancy to

Willow Baker POVSeveral Hours LaterDiana was still in labor, which I couldn't tell was a good or bad thing. I guess it was good since there didn't seem to be any complications, and it gave Jason and the midwife time to show up and see how she was doing.The servants were able to find out that Jason had gone to Diana's hometown to grab some fruit for her. Since it was so far away, Maverick had to go and retrieve him, or else Jason would have been gone for who knew how long.One of the servants had rushed into the city to grab the midwife and bring her there before Jason returned. A doctor was also brought in to support her, so I wasn't sure if it was necessary.I rested my head on the back of my chair before I turned my gaze to my personal serv
