Now, on with the next chapter...
(Disclaimer : see chapter 1)
It hardly seemed possible that it was eight weeks since Diana had turned up at the palace, closely followed by her mother, Jackie.
For Lars and his ex-fiancé, it had been a thrilling if not nerve-racking moment as they finally saw each other again after more than sixteen years apart. Both of them knew at that moment, that the love they had felt before had never died. They were still very much in love with each other and Diana had been thrilled when she'd found out that her parents wanted to be together again. It was decided that Jackie and Diana would stay at the palace, as originally planned, on a semi-permanant basis. This gave Diana time to get to know her father ad it also gave Lars and Jackie a chance to catch up and become close again.
Diana staying at the palace was wonderful for Phillippe too. He ad thought he was in love with the girl from the start but now he was absolutely certain, and what made it perfect was that he was pretty sure she felt the same about him. Today, he would find out for sure how she felt.
"Phillippe?" Michael noticed his son in the hallway, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing" the boy answered quickly, pushing a small object, that he had been looking at, back into his pocket. Michael could not be bothered to be inquisitive.
"Okay, well, your mother's not feeling too well again this morning so I need you to go to the opening of the new museum on her behalf"
Phillippe looked immediately worried.
"Is she going to be okay?" he asked.
"She'll be fine" Michael smiled at his son's concern for Mia's well-being, "I just need you to do this for us today, okay?"
"Sure Dad, no problem" Phillippe smiled, checking his watch. "I better go and get ready" he turned to go back to his room, "tell Mom, I hope she feels better soon"
"I will" his father called behind him before heading back to his and his wife's room.
"Phillippe says he hopes you feel better soon" was the first thing Michael said as he came through the bedroom door, "and he said he'll go to the museum opening for you too"
"Really, Michael, I'm fine. It's just a little nausea" Mia assured him.
"I know but it's the second time this week and I don't want you getting any worse" he sighed, sitting down on the bed next to her, "How do you expect to run a country if you're at deaths door?" he added, jokingly.
"I'll tell you when it happens" she smiled, "but right now I'm fine, nauseous, but fine"
"Well, you are staying in that bed" Michael ordered and Mia couldn't help but giggle.
"Whatever you say" she grinned, "so long as you're not going anywhere" her tone was a playful one and her husband smiled as he moved closer to her.
"And exactly what do you mean by that?"
She whispered her reply.
"Whatever you want it to mean"
Their lips were almost touching, but the kiss never happened. Mia's hand shot up to her mouth and she jumped off of the bed and ran into the en suite bathroom.
"Great," Michael sighed to himself and the bathroom door, "looks like today is going to be one of those days"
Phillippe was finally ready to leave the palace. It had taken over an hour to get ready but it had all been worth it. He was representing the royal family at this event and it was important that he looked his best, and he definately looked that.
A whistle behind him made him turn quickly, and behind him he saw Diana.
"Someone looks especially good this morning" she grinned, and he started to walk back down the hall towards her.
"I have to go to the opening of the new museum, Mom's sick again" he explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry she's not feeling well" she sighed, "Actually I'm sorry you have to go too, I was hoping to spend some time with you this morning" she put her arms around him and he put his around her.
"I'm sorry too, but maybe we can do something fun this afternoon?" he tried.
"What did you have in mind?" she wanted to know.
"Well, you'll just have to wait and see" he smiled, placing a quick and innocent kiss on her lips, "but now I really have to go" he sighed, moving his arm to check his watch again.
"Okay" she sighed, taking her arms from around his shoulders and looking him up and down. "You look great"
"Thanks" he said, looking down at his suit and checking his hair in the mirror close by, "I'll see you later, okay?" he added as he began to walk away.
"Definitely" she smiled.
As Phillippe walked away he couldn't help but grin to himself. Diana had no idea what he had planned for this afternoon. He knew she would be surprised by it, he only hoped she would be happy about it.
A/N : As usual, you review and I'll update ASAP.
