{Imagine you giving birth to Selim's first child.}
"So this is the Topkapi Palace?" you asked as you got out the carriage.
You were Selim's favorite and as his father, the Sultan invited him to the capital, he brought you with him. Not only because you was his favorite, but also because you were pregnant with his first child.
Selim took your hand as you put yours on you 9 months old belly. You gays walked trough the garden to the palace.
"Yes. This was the palace where I was born and raised." he answered you while looking at every detail of the palace.
Some memories came up to him as you guys walked further and further.
"And this is also the palace where you will be ruling the world as a Sultan. And I will be next to you forever." you said smiling to him.
He looked at you and returned the smile while mumbling the word "inshallah".
You entered the palace and everyone bowed to Selim and welcomed him.
It was the first time for you to be here in the palace and also the first time in the capital. The pirates who kidnapped you brought you straight to Manisa to the harem of Selim.
"Where are we going?" you asked curiously as you walked past the harem. The girls all came in front of the harem doors and bowed to Selim.
Some of them tried to get his attention, but Selim didn't care.
"To my father. We will meet everyone there." he said and his words got you nervous.
"Why do I have to come with you? I mean it's not like I don't want but I'm not part of the royal family." you told him. You knew Selim loves you too much to not bring you with him.
"You are not part of the royal family, yet." he looked at your swollen belly.
"And besides that, I would like to introduce you to my parents and siblings."
You smiled at his words. A lot of people would say that Selim is a drunk and heartless man, but he isn't. He is caring, loving and kind. And for the sake of love, he stopped drinking alcohol.
As you arrived at the chambers of the Sultan an agha spoke and told you that the Sultan awaits you and Selim.
The doors opened and you guys walked in. You bowed and didn't look up, because you were a bit afraid of the Sultan.
"Selim, my son, welcome!" an old voice spoke.
"Hunkarim, thank you for the invitation. It made me really happy." Selim told his father.
You looked up a bit to see Selim hugging someone. Probably his father.
"Selim! My lion!" a woman said. She had red hair and was old, but still very beautiful. Probably Hürrem Sultan, Selim's Mother.
"Validam." he walked up to her and kissed her hand.
The he hugged a girl and two boys, his sibling Mihrima Sultan, Sehzade Beyazid and Sehzade Cihangir.
As he finished he walked back to you and took your hand.
"Hunkarim, Validam, this is [Y/N] Hatun, my favorite and mother if my future child." he smiled to them.
To show respect you bowed again.
"Hunkarim, Sultanim, it's a pleasure meeting you." you said.
After meeting everyone of the royal family Selim, his brothers and father went to to the gardens.
You went to the chamber which they prepared for you to rest a bit, before the party im the harem begins.
"Yasmin, being my most beautiful dress and jewelry. I must look like a Sultana tonight." you said to you maid/ best friend.
She brought the dress and jewelry and helped you to change. Even tho you were in the 9th month pregnant, you still were able to do most of your things by yourself.
Your pregnancy was good and relaxed, but what scared you was that your belly was bigger than it should be.
"Sultanim." you bowed to Hürrem who was sitting on her throne and Mihrima besides her.
"Sit down [Y/N]. How are you feeling?" Hürrem asked you as you sat on the pillow in front of her.
"I'm good, thanks to your hospitality." you answered smiling.
The party went on and everything was fine. Some girls were dancing and you were about to eat as you felt your baby kicking.
You put you hand on your belly as a way to comfort the unborn, but the kick got hurtful.
"Are you fine [Y/N]?" Mihrima Sultan asked worriedly.
"Yes Sult-" you screamed in pain. You pulled up your dress a bit and saw that your water was broken.
"Call the midwives! My baby is coming!" you yelled.
Everyone stood up and ran in panic. Yasmin and some other maid helped you to your chambers and the midwives also arrived.
"Push Hatun!" on if them said as you were in labor.
Yasmin was next to you saying words to motivate you.
It took hours for you child to be born. And it hurt so much.
You gave one last push and then heard a crying baby. As you were about to lean back and relax the midwife spoke.
"There is another baby." she said excitedly.
You felt the same pain again as the other baby arrived too. Then all of sudden the doors bursted open and Hürrem Sultan and Mihrima Sultan came in.
"Congratulations Sultanim. She gave birth to a healthy Sultana and a healthy Sehzade." the midwife told you guys happily.
She handed over the boy to Hürrem and the girl to you. Your heart was about to melt as you held your daughter in your arms. She was so tiny and adorable.
"Mashallah! We have another Sehzade and Sultana." Mihrima congratulated.
"Where is Sehzade Selim?" you asked for the father if your children.
"He is on his way from the gardens with the Sultan. Soon the name ceremony will start." Hürrem said while looking at her grandchild.
A while later Selim came with the Sultan and his brothers. He first looked at the baby in his mothers arms and then came up to you.
He kissed you forehead you gave him his daughter. He mumbled a "Mashallah" and kissed her checks.
Hürrem handed your son to the Sultan and he began to do the azan in his ears.
"Your name will be Mahmoud." he repeated three times.
Then he took your daughter and named her Ayse.
After everyone left Selim turned with Mahmoud in his hands towards you.
"My love. You made me the happiest man alive today." he said to you truly.
"I love you Selim." you told him while looking him in the eyes.
He put Mahmoud in his crib and came to you. After kissing your forehead once again he came close to your ear.
"I love you too [Y/N]."
