I was waiting in the sitting room with Snieg laying on the couch. Ivan went hunting with Urey and it was starting to snow outside.

"I hope they get back soon Snieg." I said petting her.

I was reading a book when Snieg's head popped up.

She jumped off the couch and went out the door.

"Snieg?" I shut my book and went after her.

She ran down the hall and into the bedroom.

"Snieg?" I said as I followed her.

I walked in the door and Urey was in the room and Ivan's boots on the floor.

At that moment Ivan walked out of the bathroom with just a towel on.

"Tanya?"

"I…I'm sorry. Snieg ran off and I followed her here."

"Its ok. I was just talking a shower before I came to see you." He said walking over.

"I…I'll let you get dressed." I said turning around.

"Wait…" he said grabbing my arm. "Why are you embarrassed?"

"Because…"

"Tanya…" He said tilting my head up. "You shouldn't be embarrassed. We've been married for 4 months."

"I know but…"

"You should not be embarresed." He said kissing me.

"Achoo!" Ivan sneezed as he was laying in bed.

"I was afraid you were out to long hunting."

"I know, but Urey and I were having a lot of fun."

"Yes, and now you have a cold." I said sitting down on the bed next to him.

"I will be fine." He said trying to get out of the bed.

"No, you are staying in this bed." I said pushing him back down.

"But…"

"Princess Tanya is right." Mikhail said bringing him some soup. "You need to rest."

"Thank you Mikhail." I said.

"You better start getting ready Princess, you have a meeting with Queen Matilda of Charles Kingdom."

"Of course."

"I will bring the car around for you." Mikhail said leaving the room.

"I'm going to go get into the shower and get ready." I said kissing his forehead.

I walked over to Urey and Snieg and knelt down.

"Can you two make sure Ivan stays and rests while I'm gone?"

Snieg pushed her head into my hand as if saying yes.

"Thank you." I said petting them and walking into the bathroom.

I had just gotten out when I heard Ivan talking.

"Come one…Urey, Snieg out of the way, I have work to do."

I wrapped a towel around me and opened the door.

Urey and Snieg were laying in front of the door so Ivan could not open it.

"Good job you two." I said smiling.

"So this is your fault?" Ivan said walking over to me.

"I just wanted to make sure you don't try and sneak out while I am away to work when you should be resting." I said as I walked back into the bathroom and shut the door.

I went to Charles Kingdom for the meeting with Matilda and the other Princes.

They were all surprised that Ivan wasn't there.

It was a meeting about Sanct Sybil's contribution to the auction to raise money for all the kingdoms less fortunate.

I did not know what Ivan had planned to put in the auction so I was just there to represent the kingdom.

Although I did have some great ideas for the auction and I got chosen to make the deserts for the auction as well.

I made it back to Sanct Sybil by night fall.

I opened the door only a little before I bumped Urey.

His head popped up and looked at me.

"Sorry Urey." I said bending down and patting his head.

He moved out of the way and laid down next to Snieg.

I walked over to our bed and Ivan was asleep.

He looked like he felt better and from what I can guess he didn't get the chance to leave the room because of Urey blocking the door.

I felt his head and his fever was gone.

I got up off the bed and walked over to the closet and hang my coat back up.

"You're home." Ivan said sitting up.

"I'm sorry. I tried not to wake you." I said closing the closet.

"No, its ok. I have been sleeping for… wow, 4 hours." He said looking at the clock.

"See, you needed rest." I said kissing his forhead.

"You were right." He said smiling at me, "And you will be happy to know that these to here would not let me out of the room at all." He said looking at Urey and Snieg.

"I figured. I opened the door and bumped into Urey." I said pulling a gown out of a drawer to sleep in.

"How was the meeting?"

"Fine. Everyone missed you there. I didn't know what you were contributing to the auction so I couldn't really help with that aspect but I gave everyone a lot of great ideas for how the hall should be decorated and I will be making the deserts for the auction as well." I said getting changed.

"That's great Tanya." He said getting out of bed.

Urey and Snieg popped their heads up.

"Relax you two, I'm just going to the bathroom." He said walking in and closing the door.

They both laid their heads back down.

I walked over to them.

"Thank you for making sure he rested today you two, here." I said giving them both their favor it snack.

"So, have you ate dinner yet?" Ivan asked.

"No, but I'm not that hungry, I was just going to grab something quick."

"Follow me." He said grabbing my hand and leading me to the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

"I haven't at either Tanya, I'm starving." He said opening the fridge.

He closed the fridge and put to sandwiches on the counter.

"Mikhail came into my room earlier and asked if I was hungry is aid no but told him to save what he made so I could eat it later." He said grabbing two glasses.

"Thank you." I said taking a bite of the sand which.

"So what are you going to make as the desert for the auction?" Ivan asked.

"I'm not sure, I'm thinking of making an assortment of cakes for each kingdom and decorating them with little designs that the other princes pick out."

"What about the cakes for Sanct Sybil?"

"The design? What do you want it to be?"

"Maybe design a big cake instead of one and design a picture of the town on it?"

"The whole town?"

"No, not the castle and evergthing. I mean the towns that we are going to be helping with the auction."

"Like downtown?"

"Exactly. What do you think?"

"I think all that's left is talking to the princes and seeing if they want the same and deciding on what kind of cakes...maybe instead of individual I can make a cake for each kingdom and decorated them with all the towns and then joing them together with bridges to symbolize the unity we all share and that we are all helping each other!" I said getting excited. "I better write this down." I said grabbing a napkin and writing it down.

I finished writing and looked up.

Ivan was smiling at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, I just love seeing how excited you look hen you are talking about baking."

I smiled at him.

We spent the rest of the time eating any talking about the auction before we went to bed.
