"That's, erm, well, it's wonderful" Mia's father stammered. Neither Mia nor Michael believed that the Prince of Genovia was truly happy about Mia's pregnancy.
"Dad, we didn't plan this but I'm glad it's happened, we're both glad and we want you to be glad too"
Phillipe smiled and hugged his daughter.
"Just make sure that it's a boy, you call it Phillipe" he smiled.
Mia noticed a slight look of disgust on Michael's face at this point. She remembered his thoughts on their child being a prince. He didn't like it much, especially if the boy was to be Prince Phillipe like it's grandfather!
Anyway, Phillipe shook Michael's hand and congratulated him too. Then the bomb dropped.
"When's the wedding?" he asked.
Michael looked amused and asked innocently, "What wedding?"
"Well, if Mia's having a child you must be getting married"
Michael opened his mouth to make an answer when Mia's grandmere, Clarice, entered the Plaza room.
"Did I hear something about a wedding?" she sneered.
Mia was suddenly nervous and noticing this Michael took her hand and spoke for her.
"Ma'am, Mia and I are going to have a baby"
That was when Clarice fainted. It was a good five minutes before she came round again and the first thing she said was;
"A baby?"
Mia dared to take her grandmere's hand.
"Grandmere, Michael and I are so happy about this, I just hope you can be happy to"
Clarice was only half listening.
"When is the wedding, to be?" she asked.
"Not you too!" Michael sighed. "We are not getting married!"
At this, Mia thought her grandmere was going to black out again, but the result was actually much worse, she went mad in a way that only Clarice could.
"Young man!" she snapped, "You will marry my granddaughter, if you wish to see your child!!"
Mia looked shocked, so did Michael, but he was angry too.
"How dare you threaten me! You might scare Mia, but you don't scare me. I love Mia but it is my decision if and when I marry her, my decision and Mia's decision, not yours!" With that he took Mia's hand and moved quickly, out of the room and away from the Plaza before the Dowager Princess could say another word.
