A/N: I only own the OC.

Thank you for the reviews!

We were taken into the King's private study and as soon as the doors closed the Queen hugged me. I glanced at Fergal and returned it. She pulled away and the King hugged me.

"I am glad that you are alright." he said and I nodded still completely unsure of what was about to happen.

"You are alright, aren't you?" the Queen asked me.

"I was knocked down, but I am not concerned with that right now. I do have to say that Adrian did his job, but it was my choice to not listen to him." I said as I looked down and realized that I might should have taken those heels... my feet were bloody and dirty.

"I applaud your effort today... it was dangerous, but you did more in one moment on telly than some of us can do in a whole speech." the king said and and I furrowed my brow at them.

"Turn on the telly, Fergal." she said and he did. The screen lit up with the news scrolling on the bottom and me telling people to help one another and not to be assholes. I let out a breath and realized what I had actually said on national television.

"I apologize..." I was saying when the Queen put her hand up to stop me.

"No need, but I do need to ask you not to disobey your body guard again." the King said and I nodded.

"I do have to tell you that I can't agree with what you did, because you could have been seriously hurt. I would hate for whomever did this to get the pleasure of taking out a royal member, even if they didn't mean to do so. Iris, you have rules that you have to follow. You are becoming a member of this family, and certain things have to happen for reasons beyond because we say so. Adrian is well trained, so please listen to him next time." the King said and I nodded.

"Now that I have corrected that, I will call the doctor." he said and I looked at them strange.

"You aren't going to tell me that I can't marry Fergal? Or that I am banished? Or something like that?" I asked them and they both chuckled.

"Iris, thank you for reminded us and the people that we are humans. I think we both forget a times." the Queen said and I finally let myself smile.

"And Adrian isn't in trouble?" I asked them and they both shook their heads no.

"Thank you, and I am sorry." I said with a small smile. They both hugged me before I turned to leave with Fergal.

"I will take her to my cottage, and the doctor can meet us there." Fergal said and they nodded as we walked out of the room. Adrian was waiting to talk to them. I hugged him and he actually returned the hug.

"It's all going to be ok." I whispered and he gave a small smile before we went through the private exit and Luke took us to Kensington. I walked into the cottage with Fergal.

"No one but the doctor is to disturb us." he said and they all quickly left. I got ready to say something, but he cut me off with a passionate kiss. I grabbed onto his suit jacket as his hand tangled into the back of my now messy bun.

"Please never do that again, Iris. I really thought I was going to lose you." he said and kissed me again. I moaned as he pressed his hips into mine.

"I love you." he mumbled as he broke the kiss, but held me closer.

"I love you too... I only wanted to help people." I said and he held me tightly.

"I know, but I can't have you hurt." he said with a sigh as someone knocked on the door. He walked over and the doctor was on the other side.

I was checked out, and only had bruises, scrapes, and soreness from my fall. The doctor left and Fergal had them run my a hot bath in the garden tub in his bathroom. I tried to argue, but he was persistent. I finally gave in and it felt so nice as I let the water flood around me. I was sitting there when I heard the door open. I looked up, expecting to see a maid, but it was Fergal. I wasn't worried about him seeing anything as he sat on the floor beside the tub. He tangled his fingers with mine and kissed the back of my hand.

"I really was worried." he admitted and I leaned up to kiss his cheek. He chuckled and looked at me.

"I got you something." he said and I looked at him as he pulled a necklace from his pocket. I gasped. He was holding a beautiful emerald pendent necklace made of white gold.

"I saw it at the jeweler and it made me think of our time in Ireland. I wanted you to have it. I was going to give it to you later on in the week, but after today I realized that I need to be thankful for the time I have with you." he said and kissed me. He put it on and I ran my hand over it.

"Thank you, Fergal. I wasn't really scared until I realized how bad it was... and I thought you might be hurt somewhere else in the city." I admitted as tears filled my eyes. He pulled me out of the tub and held me as I was soaking wet. He soothed me as he wrapped a blanket around me. He got me calmed down, I put on pajamas, and he told them I was staying there tonight. They were going to argue, but he told them it was for my safety. They didn't argue as he carried me to his bed and put me in it. I fell asleep that night in his arms, and knew that was the safest place I had ever been. I fell asleep listening to his heart, and knew that no matter what else could happen before or after the wedding that he really was my prince charming.
