I do not own princess diaries
Amanda was finally moved into Mia's room after weeks of observation. She was in her crib making gurgle sounds. Mia was preparing her formula. She had insisted that she would do it herself. Being a princess didn't mean she had to be an unfit mother. She saw Andrew bend down over the crib. He was making funny faces and sounds at Amanda who giggled in satisfaction.
"Feeding time." Mia said.
Andrew took Amanda from the crib.
"Aww mommy why do you have to spoil our fun?" Andrew mocked.
Mia laughed. Andrew enjoyed playing with Amanda. It was the highlight of his day. He handed Amanda to Mia then went to sit on the bed while Mia fed her.
"Has Nicholas called yet?" Andrew asked.
"No. He said that he needed time to think."
Andrew nodded. The decision was Nicholas's. Mia's reputation was in his hands. Mia's cell phone rang suddenly making Andrew jump.
"Would you get that please?" Mia asked Andrew.
Andrew picked up the phone to answer it.
"Hello? Yes she is here… feeding…we will meet you there in a few seconds."
Mia gave Andrew a questioning look while trying to burp Amanda.
"It was Nicholas. He is waiting for us in the lounge."
Mia went cold. Nicholas had made his decision. Mia gently laid Amanda down in her crib before taking Andrew's hand. He gave it a light squeeze before leading her towards the lounge.
"What do you think he will choose?" Mia asked.
"Not really sure, but I know for a fact that he won't hurt you." Andrew replied.
They entered the lounge finding Nicholas seated on one of the cream couches. Nicholas indicated for Mia to take the seat next to him and she did. Andrew took the seat in front of them. Mia opened her mouth to speak, but Nicholas held up his hand.
"My intensions are not to hurt you Mia even though you hurt me. All I want is my daughter."
"And you!" Nicholas thought, but didn't say.
"What do you want?" Mia asked nervously.
As Nicholas was about to reply panic went through the entire castle. Maids were running around everywhere and the guards also. Andrew stopped one of the maids.
"What is going on?"
Suddenly Clarisse rounded the corner and ran into Andrew. He caught her before she fell. Clarisse was out of breath. Horror was painted all over her face.
"Grandma what is it?" Mia asked concerned.
After a few breaths she answered.
"Amanda is gone."
Nicholas grabbed Mia just before she collapsed to the floor.
"I got you." He reassured her even though he felt like collapsing too.
"She can't be." Andrew said.
Clarisse shook her head.
"She was kidnapped. They left a note." Clarisse said between sobs.
She handed the note to Andrew. He read the note out loud.
"If you want to see the little princess again bring Princess Mia and the queen to storeroom 206. We will then swap. No police or the child dies."
Everyone just stood there, frozen. What were they going to do?
Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. Reviews are always welcome! Enjoy the rest of your day. Until next time!
