-5 Months Later-
It had been a long couple of months of meetings, government meetings, appearances, and lessons from gram and I was beginning to miss spending time with Andrew as we barely spent time with one another during the day. The only time we truly got to see each other was at night and some nights it was more than just to sleep. Though I was both nervous and excited to take up my role as Queen of Genovia, I was more than excited to be helping grams prepare her wedding to Joe. She had asked me if I would be a part of the wedding party and I had agreed wholeheartedly, it was to be a small but intimate affair a couple of days after my crowning ceremony. I had prepared my speech, learnt the vows to take as I was crowned and had even learnt the Genovian version of the speech as well. My crowning ceremony was just a couple of hours away and I couldn't sleep, Andrew was asleep next to me and although I knew that he would be able to make me feel better and help me to feel better I knew the only thing that was going to help me now was a trip down to the kitchen. Which is where grams found me half an hour later.
"Are you alright Mia dear?" she asked and I shook my head
"Not really grams, I'm nervous about today," I said and she nodded
"That's understandable dear," she said before she too pulled out a carton of ice cream out of the freezer and sat next to me on the bench.
"It's just I know I can do this and I want to do this but I just have this fear that everything today is going to go wrong and I don't know if I'll be able to do anything about it" I said and grams put down her ice cream and spoon and grabbed my free hand with both of hers
"Mia, my darling Mia. I wish your father was here to see how much you've done for your country already. I know for a fact that he will be just as proud if not more so than I am. You show kindness and love toward the people, you've got an amazing husband who has proven more in the last seven months that he is willing to stand by your side than I think anyone has done in such a long time. But most of all, you have never strayed from who you are, through all of this you have remained to be the same women that I met just a few years ago" she said and I felt the tears running down my face at what she was saying, I threw my arms around her neck and smiled
"Thank you so much gram," I said and she smiled back at me
"Your welcome Mia. Now how is your relationship with Andrew, I take it he is pleasing you very well?" she asked and I felt a deep heat in my cheeks and knew that I'd been caught
"He treats me incredibly grams, I'm the luckiest person alive to have found such a caring, generous, enchanting man who is willing to go through all of this with me," I said and she nodded.
"It is very rare to find someone like that, but I am so glad that you have found him,seperate" she said. We chatted for another half an hour before both of us decided to head back upseparaterooms where we could get a couple of hours sleep.
It was five hours later that I was being awoken to a churning in the pit of my stomach, it was just after 8 o'clock and I knew that even without being rudely awoken by my stomach I would need to be awake anyway but as I ran across the bedroom into the attached bathroom and threw up I had a sneaky suspiscion that something wasn't quite right. However I couldn't test that theory as I heard Bridget and Brigetta coming into our room and kicking Andrew out, saying that he was needed down in the hall to help.
"Princess, where are you?" Bridget called and I called back
"In the bathroom, just give me a minute" I said as I flushed the toliet and brushed my teeth. I walked out of the room and was greeted by my two maids and smiled upon seeing the breakfast laid out for me and a note from Andrew. I picked up the note and smiled at what he had written before sitting and eating a piece of toast and a genovian pear. I was just about to start on some grapes when in walked Poalo and his two helpers.
"Ah here is the future queen, not too long to go now is it my dear", he said and I nodded as he set up and called me over.
Two hours later I was ready, hair and make up done to perfection and dressed in the most incredible white dress; I knew that I was ready to take the throne today. I made my way down the hall to the doors that headed out into the throne room where today I was going to be crowned. I beamed when I was met with Andrew, I speed up my walk just a little and gave him a passionate kiss before we were interrupted by Kyle who had cleared his throat. He told us we had two minutes before the doors opened and we walked in together, to become Queen and Prince Consort.
"You look absolutely breathtaking darling" Andrew breathed after another quick kiss. When the doors opened Andrew held out his arm and the two of us made our way out to the stairs, I smiled across at my gran who smiled back, before we made our way down the stairs and over to the podium. It was a long process and after the process of readings and prayers Andrew and I were finally crowned as Queen and Prince Consort, and as the prime minister of Genovia began the Genovian national anthem we made our way through the guard down to the front of the audience that had gathered and I smiled out at my mother and step father who come to see this day, Lily and her partner as well as my gran and Joe all smiling at the two of us. We were whisked away for the official portraits again our families would be joining us before we would have to make our way through to the hall where there was a ball ready for us.
I started with a dance with my husband before a dance with the prime minister, and then from their it was a lot of dancing and socialising with the guests. I excused myself a little while later and made my way into the bathroom before throwing up in the toliet, thankful that the bathroom that I had chosen was one of the bigger of the ones on the main floor of the palace. I was in there for a good twenty minutes when Lily came in and found me.
"Mia, I mean Queen Mia are you ok?" she asked and I rolled my eyes
"You know you don't have to call me queen Lily, you're my best friend and I don't expect it of you", I said and she nodded
"I know I just wanted to test it out", she said and I smiled.
"However the main reason I am in here is because you have a very upset husband waiting for you outside the door, and he's more than a bit worried about you", she said and I sighed before thanking her and making my way out of the bathroom.
"Mia, are you ok?" Andrew asked wrapping his arms around my waist and I nodded
"Yeah sorry, just had an upset stomach. I think it was just the nerves of the day just leaving my system" I explained and he nodded
"Oh, are you sure your alright?" he asked and I nodded, placing a kiss on his lips
"Definintely. How about we make our way back into this shin dig, since everyone is here because of us" I suggested and he nodded, wrapping his arm around my waist.
Andrew and I spent the rest of the evening wrapped in each others arms, dancing to the music, in our own little world. At times my head would rest on his shoulder and we'd just say back and forth in time to the music, at other times we would be a little bit more enthusiastic, though we never really took our eyes off of one another. It was at midnight that things started to die down and Andrew and I retreated to our bedroom where we collapsed in each others embrace, especially since I had a meeting with the government all day tomorrow as official Queen of Genovia.
