Opening her eyes, Maria remembered the night before, she smiled.
'Your an engaged woman now Maria. Get out of bed!' The voice in Maria's head told her. She jumped out of bed just as the youngest von trapp ran into the room.
"Fräulein Maria! Fräulein Maria!" Gretl shouted.
"Hello pumpkin, what is it?" Maria asked as the little girl ran into her arms and wrapped the little chubby arms around Maria's neck.
"Good morning mo- i mean fräulein Maria." Maria smiled as she heard her soon to be daughter call her almost say mother.
"Good morning to you too. How about you go get out of your nightwear and tell your bothers and sisters to get ready too." Gretl unwrapped her arms from around Maria's neck and ran out the room. Maria smiled again. She made her way into the bathroom, got ready and walked out in her the laendler dress. The sound of a soft knock came from the door. The Governess walked down to the dinning room, sat opposite Captain Von Trapp they shared a smile and a wink from Georg the a slight giggle from the young woman.
"Hello al- two then." Max announced as he walked into the room and sat down at his seat next to the governess.
"Well good morning Max." Georg said with a smile, shocking Max.
"Umm, whats happened why you so happy?" Max asked shocked.
"No reason." Georg answered looking at Maria then to his newspaper. Max and Maria had just started talking about random things, like they would every morning, when the children came racing into the room. Georg looked up at then with a scowl that made them walk to their chairs.
"Good morning children." The governess said.
"Good morning Fräulein." The children said in unison. Brigitta, being the one who's notices everything, was the first to notice the Baroness wasn't with them.
"Father?" The curious girl said.
"Yes Brigitta." The baron replied.
"Wheres the Baroness?" It took a few minutes to get the words to come out.
"She's returned to Vienna." Looking at the faces of his children. "Because your going to have a new mother." Quickly looking at Maria.
"A new mother?" Liesl asked.
"Yes." Georg wanted to keep the faces the same so he would keep confusing his children a bit.
"Do we know her?" Kurt asked.
"Well if you don't id be worried." Georg said trying not to laugh at Brigitta trying to work it out with her finger on her chin.
"Do we like her?" Marta asked.
"Well what ive seen you like her a lot." Looking at Fredrick as he had a crush on Maria when she first arrived at the house.
"Who is she?" Gretl asked just as Brigitta worked it out.
"Its Fräulein Maria!" Brigitta shouted as she ran over to her soon to be mother and embraced her. Then the rest of the children followed.
