Thanx to the following for the wonderful reviews ; ndblue123, CrazyCanuck, KrystinePotterLover, Cassandra Anthemyst, Becca, CrazyNut2002. There will be some romance in this story, I'm not saying who it involves but I don't think anyone will be dissappointed. Just be patient and the time will come.

Okay, now on to the next chapter.....

(Disclaimer : see chapter 1)

Mia returned to the room where she had left her husband with Lars.

"I have called her and explained everything" she smiled, "and she'd coming over as soon as she can get a flight out"

Lars smiled too. It had been sixteen years since he'd last seen Jackie and he looked forward to seeing her again. He had never stopped loving her, he knew that and only hoped there was a chance that they could be friends now, at the very least.

"I told her she could stay here as long as she wants" Mia continued, seating herself next to Michael again.

"Well, it's not like we haven't got the room" her husband grinned, "She could have a whole wing to herself and we probably wouldn't even notice she was here!" A small laugh came from each person in the room as Phillippe walked in.

"What's the joke?" he asked.

"Oh nothing" his mother dismissed his question. "Diana's mother is coming to Genovia and she is going to stay in the palace"

Phillippe smiled, happy I the thought that Diana would be staying a while. He was desperate to get to know her and hoped in time that she might open up to him a little more. At the very least he hoped they could be friends.

"Maybe when her Mom comes she won't be so home sick" he said thoughtfully as he sat down near his parents.

"Home sick?" Lars repeated.

"Yeah, the room reminded of home and she got upset. I tried to cheer her up but she told me to leave. I think she just needs some time on her own"

"In that case, we'll give her that. She's probably tired from all the travelling she's done, plus being in a strange house in a foreign country, it would make anyone feel a little out of sorts" Mia told him, "I'm sure after some sleep and once her mother arrives, the child will feel much better and much happier"

Jackie called the palace later in the day and informed them of her flight details. With the time difference accounted for, Diana's mother would arrive at the Genovian Airport at 12:37pm the following day.

Mia decided she should be the one to inform Diana of her mothers plans.

"She might find it easier to talk to a woman" she told the three men, Lars, Michael and Phillippe, as she swept out of the room and up the stairs to Diana's room.

She tapped gently on the door and on hearing the child's voice call, 'come in' she ventured into the room.

"Diana, how are you feeling?"

"Your majesty!" the girl jumped up from her bed, quite startled to see the Queen, "I did not know it was you"

"You do not have to stand when I come in the room" Mia laughed, "You are a guest here and you are the daughter of my friend, and you may call me Mia"

"Really?" said the child, stunned by the Queen's familiarity and lack of formality.

"Of course" Mia smiled, seating herself on the edge of the bed and beckoning for Diana to join her.

"Now, I came here to tell you that your mother is coming over and she will arrive in Genovia tomorrow lunch time. You and she are to stay here at the palace for a while while you get to know your father, okay?"

"Thankyou" Diana said, honestly, "I really am very grateful to you"

"That's okay" Mia hugged the girl, "You are very welcome. So, are you feeling better now? I understand from my son that you were upset"

Diana felt embarrassed and looked away.

"I'm okay" she said quietly, "Just a little home sick, I guess, but if Mom's coming I'll be fine" she perked up a little now and smiled at the Queen.

"Good" Mia smiled back. "We'll be having dinner soon so if you want to have a shower and get changed now would be a good time. You did bring some clothes didn't you?"

Diana looked away again and shook her head silently.

"I was so eager to get here and it was just easier if I had no luggage to carry..."

"It's okay" Mia interrupted, seeing that the child was on the verge of tears again. "We'll find you something. I still have a lot of my dresses from when I was your age, something is bound to be to your liking"

The young girl smiled.

"Princess dresses?" she asked.

"Yes" Mia had to laugh at the child's excited tone, "Princess dresses. I just couldn't bear to throw some of them out, even though I only wore some of them once. I have two rooms full of clothes, so really there has to be something suitable"

"Thankyou" Diana hugged her, "for everything"

A/N : Please review, as always, and I will try and hurry up with the next chapter!
