"Ugh!" I woke up in such a pain in my belly knowing the time for giving birth has come. I was so afraid of this moment and how much would the process hurt, but I couldn't wait to finally meet my son or daughter.

"Push, Dilruba, push!" Were only things I remember nurse yelled on me while I was delivering my baby.

"It's a boy!" I heard nurse telling and just in a moment later Valide Sultan and Hatice entering my chambers full of happinesses.

"Dilruba, congradulations! Ottoman lion cub prince is born!" Valide Sultan said as she took my little baby son in her hands and I couldn't stop myself from crying from happiness. I really wish Suleiman could be here to see our baby.

"Your name will be Murad!" Valide repeated three times in each of my baby son before giving him into my hands. I knew Hurrem and Mahidevran were standing in front of the doors probably both of them swearing me for having a son but in this moment nothing meant to me more than having this precious time with my son.

Exactly a month has passed since I give birth to Murad when Suleiman needed to arrive. It was day of his arrival and I couldn't even explain how I missed him in those last five months. It felt like entirety, but after my Murad came time went so fast.

I should've went to Valide Sultan's chambers to await for Suleiman but Murad couldn't stop crying so I decided to stay with him until he calms down, because I trusted no one enough to leave Murad alone with them.

"Everything will be fine my Murad when your father arrives and meet you finally," I said kissing my baby's forehead finally making him stop crying.

The fact that Suleiman and my brother Ibrahim arrived safely made me already feel relaxed and I knew Suleiman would come here to meet his son.

Very soon after Suleiman entered my chambers and I couldn't even imagine I could miss a person so much. I ran into his hug and didn't want to let him go how much I missed him.

"Suleiman!" I said as I didn't want to let him go out of my hug. His presence what I needed most in my life right now.

"My love, I have finally arrived to see you and to meet our lion cub," Suleiman said after kissing me gently and then I took Murad in my hands to show him.

Suleiman kissed Murad's forehead and then took him into his arms and for the first time held our beautiful baby in his hands.

"When you wrote to me that you gave birth you gave me a power to get in the war and defeat the enemies!" Suleiman said as he kissed Murad once again and then kissed my forehead.

"I felt like whole eternity has passed without you, I couldn't stand this distance between us. Every night and every day I was thinking only about you and praying to God about your health," I said as I still couldn't believe Suleiman returned.

"I brought something to you from Balkan," Suleiman said and showed me his hand and I putted my hand into his.

I left Murad with Saliha who I repeated to million times to be very careful with Murad and then went with Suleiman. We walked through the Harem to his chambers and went on the terrace of his room.

On the table there was big box which Suleiman showed to me and said it's mine. I opened it and inside saw the most beautiful violin I have ever seen in my life. He knew I loved to play it and I gave our mother's violin to Ibrahim so he brought me a new one.

"Suleiman, this is so beautiful, I don't know how can I thank you enough," I said as I took violin in my hands and it brought all old memories to me how I played it my entire life.

"Only way you can thank me is to always be here next to me and give me hope to live and to survive each day and having you in my arms," Suleiman said and kissed me gently.

Words couldn't describe how I loved this man and how I could every day fall in love with him again and again. Each day I loved him even more and he was the reason of my existence and my happiness.

"There is also one more surprise," Suleiman said as we stood on the terrace when the fireworks started to blow in the sky.

"Whole Istanbul must know that my beloved Dilruba gave birth to my son Prince Murad, everyone will know about it," Suleiman said and kissed me from behind.

I never thought this kind of love might be possible to feel. My parents loved themselves so much and I always wanted to have that kind of love and I felt it here with Suleiman.

Our moment of happiness was interrupted when Hurrem came inside on the terrace and I didn't expect her to come here.

"Hunkarim," Hurrem said and bowed to him and she was really disappointed and sad when she saw me there hugged with him.

"Hurrem, welcome," Suleiman said and I just smiled to Hurrem who was really disappointed about my presence here. I knew she hoped she would spend first night with Suleiman here and she was sad, but even though I thought we were on the good terms she couldn't stand me after I gave birth to a son.

"I wish to talk to you alone," Hurrem said and looked at me literally telling me 'go away and leave us alone'.

"I should leave you alone," I said as I turned to Suleiman and bowed to him but he took my hand into his.

"There is no need for that, Hurrem you can say that while Dilruba is here," Suleiman said which shocked both Hurrem and me because none of us excepted this. I know how terrible I would feel if I were in Hurrem's position and she or Mahidevran would stay here and listen to what I say.

"It's very private, I wish to tell it personally to you," Hurrem said once again looking at me very nervously.

"What I can hear Dilruba can hear also, she knows everything so you can feel free to say this in front of her," Suleiman said and each his word shocked me even more because I never thought someone would love me and respect like that.

"Why always Dilruba? After she came, you act like Mehmed, Mihrimah and me don't exist," Hurrem said passive-agressively to Suleiman with tears in her eyes.

"That is not true Hurrem, if you came to act here like that you can leave my chambers right now," Suleiman said and turned back to my Hurrem.
