A/N : Reviews! Reviews! I am so happy to have all these reviews! Okay, I'm calm now, but really, thanx a lot for all the reviews ; Anixia, reyn, Sky, Ali Simmons, Megan, macdeniken, max4cast, sapofbks2002, CrazyCanuck, Lemon, Patty, jackie, ndblue123, stargirl888, KrystinePotterLover; you are all great!

Oh btw; to clear up a few points...

- Phillippe was 16 in 'The New Prince' so now, two years later, he is 18.

- Michael is not King he is Prince Consort (title given to the person who marries a Queen who is monarch)

Okay, I think that's everything sorted so, here is chapter 2...

Disclaimer : Phillippe, Diana and Jackie are my creations all other characters belong to Meg Cabot.

"Lars?" Michael echoed in astonishment.

"He was married three times before I even knew him" Mia whispered but Diana heard her anyway.

"My mother was never married to my father" she said, quickly. "They met in New York twenty years ago"

"How old are you?" Mia checked.

"Fifteen, but I'll be sixteen in three months" the girl answered.

"So, your parents were together for five years?" Mia could not understand how she had missed that. Lars had had a girlfriend for five years whilst they were in New York?

"No, well not really..." Diana mumbled.

Mia and Michael both wanted to know what was going on but felt awful about grilling this poor child on her origins. Surely it would be better to ask Lars about it.

"Mom, Dad!" Phillippe called, as he swung into the room, "I was just wondering..." he stopped suddenly when he noticed .

"Hi" he said smiling at her. She knew he was the Prince of Genovia, she had seen him on TV too, but she looked at him with indifference and responded to his cheerful greeting with a flat 'hello'.

"Phillippe, I would like you to meet Diana, Diana this is Prince Phillippe, our son" Mia introduced the pair, and Phillippe continued to smile whilst Diana continued to ignore him.

"Sweetheart, do you know where Lars is at the moment?" Mia asked her son.

"Yeah, I was just talking to him upstairs, why?"

"Would you mind going back and telling him we'd like to see him, Phillippe" Michael said to his son.

"Sure" Phillippe agreed, and with a confused look, he left closing the door behind him.

"So, when was the last time you saw your father, Diana?" Michael was curious to know.

"Oh I've never met him sir" she answered, "He doesn't even know about me, my Mom never told him"

The Queen and her consort exchanged concerned looks just as a tap came on the door and Phillippe returned with Lars right behind him.

"You wish to speak with me your majesties" he said immediately.

"Yes, Lars" Michael began, "Phillippe could you give us a minute" he added, turning to his son. Phillippe nodded and left, but not without first giving another grin to Diana. She barely noticed.

"Lars" Mia turned to her bodyguard and friend, "I'm not quite sure how to tell you this but, this is Diana" she said, gesturing toward the girl seated opposite her. Lars smiled at the child but did not really understand why he was being introduced to her or why his Queen and her husband looked so worried.

"Lars, Diana is..." Mia couldn't say it, she was so afraid of what reaction she might get. She glanced at Michael with a look that said 'Help me!' and he did just that.

"Lars, I'm just going to say this, Diana is your daughter"

The muscular man looked at Michael, just staring for a moment then he glanced at Mia before his gaze finally settled on the child he had just been told was his own.

Diana smiled up at him, hoping he would be pleased with the news but not really certain that he would be.

"Hey Dad" she said, quietly.

"My daughter?" was all he could say.

"Lars, would you like to sit down?" Mia offered, noticing the paleness of his face and the shake in his voice.

"Thankyou" he said, seating himself beside the girl. "Jackie, you have to be Jackie's daughter" he said, his eyes fixed on Diana.

The girl nodded and smiled.

"Yes" she said simply, evidently glad that at least her father remembered her mother.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Well, for one thing, the last time I saw her, that would make you almost sixteen?"

Diana nodded again.

"And besides, you look so like your mother, it's uncanny" he smiled at his daughter. "Where is your mother?" he asked suddenly, realising that if his child were here that his old flame must be around too.

"She doesn't know I'm here" Diana mumbled.

"Then where is she?" Mia cut in, her voice filled with concern.

"She's still in New York"

A/N : I know, I know, another cliffhanger, but it keeps you reading doesn't it? I will try and get the next chapter up over the weekend so keep an eye out for that. Please keep reviewing so I know what you think of this. I thought it was only right that Lars should have a storyline, because we don't really know a whole lot about him from the books. There will probably be some M/M stuff and maybe some other romance too...(you'll just have to wait and see!)
