Here's another one… 

Shades instructed the other guards on how to clear the way for everyone to walk by.

"You are doing a great job by the way Shades," Joseph said as he walked past him into the entranceway of the palace.

"Thank you Joe."

"Yes wonderful," Clarisse commented as she was led into the room holding Joe's hand.

"Thank you Your Majesty."

"You're quite welcome Shades, but where's Nick and Mia?"

"Here we are!" Nick shouted pulling Mia through the throng of people.

Laughing Mia said, "It's crazy out there."

"Yes and its only 10:00 in the morning." Joe said putting his arm around his wife's shoulders.

"Well I guess it's time we unpack and get ready for the Coronation," Clarisse announced.

"I suppose you're right" Mia said holding on to Nick. Nick kissed her on the forehead.

"Hello everyone" said Helen coming down the stairs.

"Helen, hello. How are you this week?" Clarisse asked her while giving her a hug.

"I'm fine, how are you this week?" Helen asked her jokingly

Clarisse chuckled "I'm tired but glad to be home." Clarisse responded,

"Where's Patrick?" Joe asked.
"Oh he's upstairs with Trevor. We are trying to get him down for a nap since he was cranky on the plane ride."

"Aww poor baby." said Clarisse

"Well we just got in so we are going to go and unpack everything. We have souvenirs for you all and we'll give them out in a little bit." Joe told everyone as he made his way up the stairs.

"Clarisse are you coming?" Joe asked her stopping half way.

"Yes I'm right behind you darling. Uh everyone meet in my office in a half an hour ok and Mia tell Lily to come too."

"Sure Grandma" Mia answered.

"Want to go for a walk outside?" Nick asked Mia.

"Yes that will be wonderful."

"I'll see you later then Mia." Helen said while walking away.

"Alright Mom." Mia said over her shoulder as they walked to the back of the palace.

Upstairs while walking down the hall Joe stopped suddenly in his tracks.

"What is it?" she asked worried. "Joseph what's wronggg whoa!" Clarisse yelled.
Before she knew it Joe had picked her up and carried her the rest of the way to her suite.

"Ahh very romantic," she said kissing him on the lips. Once they got to the door Clarisse reached down to turn the knob with Joe still holding her.
Joe carried her into the room, pass her office area, and into the bedroom part of the suite. He gently placed her down on the bed and kissed her again.

"Well thank you very much my dear," she said laying back on her bed and feeling back at home.

At that moment the butlers and security knocked on the door with their luggage.

"Thank you very much gentlemen" Clarisse said to them.
Joe couldn't help but notice that she had her "Queen" voice back, which he didn't mind.

"Well then lets get to it so we don't have to worry about it later" she said.

Joe walked over and placed the one suitcase on the sofa. He opened it took out some shirts and then stood there looking around.

"What's with you now?" Clarisse asked laughing

"Well where am I suppose to put my stuff?"

"Hmm good question," Clarisse said looking around and touching her chin with her hand.

"Ahh over here." She said walking over to a dresser and opening the drawer. "Oh wait it's full."

"So are these!" Joe said opening the other drawers in amazement.

"Well I'll just have the maids move my things later so you can have this dresser."
"Sounds good," he said and placed his shirts back in the suitcase.

"I'll just put my luggage in the closet for now."

"All right," she said feeling bad he didn't have a spot.

Joe walked around bed and stood behind her hugging her around the waist as she folded a scarf. "Though I'm glad to be home," he said in her ear, "I wish we still had that extra privacy."

"I know Joseph but this is how life is here. You'll get used to it and when it gets too crazy we'll go on a getaway somewhere. Deal?"

"I'll take it as long as I have you."

"Oh thank you," she said kissing his cheek.
They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Joe yelled as he rolled his eyes at his wife.

"It's just us" Mia said poking her head in.

"Oh come in everybody and sit down somewhere," Clarisse said.

Charlotte, Shades, Mia, Nick, Lily, Helen, and Patrick all sat down on various chairs in the room.

"Did we ever replace the glass for the frame?" Nick whispered to Mia who was sitting on his lap.

"(Gasp) Oh no we forgot about it!" Mia said scared.

"Well hopefully she won't notice it." Nick reassured her crossing his fingers.

Clarisse took a large bag full of gifts from her smaller suitcase and carried it over to her desk. She sat down in her chair and opened the bag. She called everyone's name and her and Joe handed them their gifts.

"So you did get out of the room to do some shopping?" Mia teased after receiving the last present.

"Yes Mia we did." Clarisse said embarressed.

Once everyone said thank you and gave hugs and kisses they began to leave Clarisse's office.

"Mia! Charlotte! Could you ladies please stay for a few extra moments?" Clarisse asked while sitting back down in her chair.

"Sure" said Mia who glanced at Nick while he was heading out the door.

"Of course Your Majesty" Charlotte replied.
Both women walked over to the Queen's desk and stood in front of it waiting to hear what the Queen had to say.
