A/N: Georgiana's name is not pronounced "Georgie-anna", it's pronounced "George-ayna," like Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who this Georgiana was named after.
Bitzi and Kitty are dedicated to two of my best friends who they are named after. In fact, one of Bitzi's middle names, Merilehleigh, is Bitzi's middle name.

Chapter One
A Small Grand Princess
...
Their Royal, Imperial, Serene, and Ducal Majesties, Henry and Adelaide Spencer-Cavendish, Rulers of the Wizarding World, had nine children and were expecting a tenth.
The eldest was Maria Christina Adelaide Henriette Alice Maud, who was called "Mimi," and she was 17. She was her mother's favorite, most likely because they were both born on December 12. Mimi had blue eyes, a trait that was shared with all of her family except the mother, and long curly black hair. She felt, as the eldest, that she deserved the best (though not just for herself, she thought the first born should always get special privileges. She was cold, hard, and snobbish, but she wasn't a bad person.
Then was Maria Carolina Anne Mathilde Josephine Mary, who was called "Nina," and she was 15. She was closest to Mimi since they were so close in age. She had blue eyes that were more blue-gray and light brown hair. She was the kindest one in the family. Her nickname was "le petit ange" which was French for "the little angel." She was also her father's little girl. Her father loved her very much and they were exceptionally close.
Third was Stephen Alexander Nicholas Konstantin Dimitri, who was called by the Russian version of his nickname "Stiva," and he was fourteen. He had the family's blue eyes and a curly head of brown hair. He was also a bit on the chubby side. He was the family comic. He was very witty and was always cracking jokes. He was so funny that even his mother, a hard and cold mother would give him a smile.
Then came the twins William Martin Henry Michael David, who was called "Will," and John Edward Albert Ernest Thomas, who was called "Johnny," and they were both twelve. They both had blue eyes and black hair Will was the more wild and energetic of the two, while Johnny was the more reserved and sensible one. Will enjoyed going outside and running around while Johnny preferred to be in the library with a good book. Though they were as different as fire and ice, they were still very close friends.
Sixth was Edward Robert Anthony Andrew Christian Leopold, who was called "Eddie," and he was nine. He had the family blue eyes and brown hair. He was very close to John as they both enjoyed sitting inside reading and the peace and quiet that came with it. He was considered to be on his way to becoming the handsomest of the boys.
The final boy was Alexander Charles Matthew Gregory David who was called by his last name, "David," and he was eight. He had blue eyes that were more blue-grey, and black hair that was a bit long as he hated getting his hair cut. He was more of the observer in the family. He said little he did little, but what people didn't know was that he was just watching them, studying them. He was probably the smartest child in his family.
The next one was a little girl named Maria Elizabeth Adelaide Madeleine Charlotte Anne Merilehleigh, who was called "Bitzi," and she was six. She had black curls that fell down her back and her eyes, like the rest of the family, were blue, though they were a deep, dark, mysterious blue. She wanted to be alone most of the time. She was a quiet child. She was not a child shy, she just didn't have much to say. The only one she would spend a good amount of time with was her younger sister Kitty. The two did almost everything together and they were as close as two sisters could possibly be, even though they were almost nothing alike.
The last child was Maria Katherine Edith Mary Sybil Helen Laura, who was called "Kitty," and she was five years old. She had bright red hair which she had inherited from her grandmother, and the family blue eyes, though her eyes were a soft and clear blue, almost like the afternoon sky. She was very energetic and was always jumping around. Though she knew when it was important, she needed to be calm and quiet.
It was strange. For as close as Bitzi and Kitty were, they were almost nothing alike. Kitty liked dolls and dress up and tea parties. Bitzi liked just staying quiet and watching the day go by. But Bitzi often played with Kitty to humor her.
…
In the nursery, the royal children played with their toys or read while they waited patiently for their mother to give birth. All except the youngest, Katherine, though at five years old it wasn't uncommon to be impatient
"How much longer?" Kitty asked in a whining tone.
"Patience, Kitty," said Mimi. "These things take time."
"How much time?" Kitty pressed.
"It depends, darling," said Nina. "When Mother was giving birth to you, it took three whole days before you were actually born.
"That's a long time," Kitty said. "I want to play with my new sister."
"It's going to be a boy," said David. "Just you wait."
"No," Kitty retorted. "It's going to be a girl and she's going to look like one of my dolls. And we'll have tea parties and play dress up and-"
"Alright, Kitty," Will snapped. "We get it."
Kitty sighed and went back to playing with her doll.
A few more hours past before Henry burst into the nursery, a smile plastered on his face. All of the children stood up.
"What is it?" Nina asked.
"Your mother has given birth to a small but completely healthy Grand Princess," said Henry happily.
The children all rushed to their mother's chambers. Henry opened the door and they saw their mother lying on the bed looking exhausted. She was holding a baby girl with a tuft of hair so light, it was almost invisible on top of the baby's porcelain white skin. The baby was tiny, even tinier than any baby should be.
"Told you it would be a girl," said Kitty, sticking her tongue out at David.
"Shut up, Kitty," David muttered, sounding disappointed.
"What's her name?" Mimi asked with a curious tone in her voice.
"Maria Georgiana Cora Arabella Antonia Amelia Sabrina Seraphina Eliza Ida," Henry said proudly, gazing lovingly at his newborn daughter
"That's a pretty name, Papa," Bitzi commented.
"Yes," said Adelaide bitterly. "Although it could do without Ida."
"I like it," said Nina.
"I don't," said Adelaide. "It reminds me of the harlot, Ida Irving."
"I'll thank you not to speak ill of Lady Irving," Henry said coldly.
Adelaide glared at him but kept her mouth shut.
"Papa, what's a harlot?" Kitty asked her father.
"It's nothing, dear," said Henry.
"Mother, Father, may I hold her?" Mimi asked.
"Please," said Adelaide handing Georgiana to her eldest child. "Take her out of my arms."
"Why don't you like her, Mama?" Kitty asked.
"Because-" Adelaide started. She saw the glare Henry was giving her before continuing, "I am not a fan of babies."
"Yet you have ten," said Henry bitterly.
"Mother, this is a happy day," said Nina cheerfully. "You have a new child. A beautiful, healthy child."
Baby Georgiana opened her eyes revealing not the family blue eyes, but bright violet eyes.
"Oh, look at her eyes!" Mimi gushed. "They're absolutely stunning!"
Georgiana's eyes began tearing up and soon she begun wailing. Mimi did her best to quiet the child, but it did not work. Georgiana's eyes caught her father and she reached out her tiny arms, wanting to be held by him. Henry smiled and gladly picked his newborn child up. As soon as she was in his arms, Georgiana stopped her crying and burried her head into her father's chest. Yes, she was going to be a Daddy's Girl.
