It was a bright spring morning, the birds were singing, the forest creatures were sleeping. All was at peace. In a large castle a loud shriek was heard from a little white room. A beautiful baby girl was being held in her father's arms. Kissing the newborns head, a tear fell from Maurice's face. He looked at her and saw her mother. Soft curly hair, deep chocolate eyes, that seemed to see inside of everyone with a single glance.
"What are we going to do?" Maurice whispered to the baby girl, "I need your mother"
More tears dropped, and the little girl looked up at her father. Maurice held his breath at the newfound similarity. Her eyes were curious and beautiful.
"I know, I know," Maurice smiled and whipped the tears from his eyes, "We will get through this," he smiled, "Don't change no matter what, I love you."
He kissed the girls tiny face once more before the tears came down again.
The door slammed open as a little boy ran in. He had brown hair and was probably around the age of 3.
"PAPA! PAPA I FOUND SOMONE!" The little boy cried.
The boy's father ran in after him, "I am very sorry monsieur, the prince was playing hide and seek with me."
"It's no worry," Maurice bowed, "How are you today, king?"
"Very well thank you," He looked at the little girl, "Do you know what to name her yet?"
"No, not yet," Maurice looked down, " I was going to let Anna name her…"
"I'm very sorry," Sympathy shined in his eyes, "I wish you and your daughter the best."
Maurice nodded and smiled in return.
The prince looked at the little girl curious. He stuck his tongue out at her and she instantly began to laugh. The king and Maurice looked up and smiled at the sight.
"I think they are going to be wonderful friends," The king said.
Maurice looked at the king, "Seriously? Oh I mean," Regaining himself, "Yes, the best of friends."
"Oh! Oh!!!" The price screamed in excitement.
"What is it, son?"
"I know what to name her!"
"Son, you don't have the power to name her, which is for Maurice to decide."
Maurice laughed, "I have no problem with it, sir," He looked at the prince, "What would you like to name her?"
"Belle," The little prince said softly playing with the girls' curls, the girl laughing in return, "Beautiful Belle."
