A/N : To; Mellodramatic, ndblue123, Cordelia Osbourne, Azkaban Canuck, Cassandra Anthemyst, Starbright Moonlight, macdeniken, A Sorta Fairytale, XxArEULoStxX, Slytherin Chick - thanx for all the wonderful reviews! Phillippe will be back in chapter 13 so that should make for an interesting chapter (I hope!), but in the meantime, what will Jackie and Lilly say when they find out what happened between Diana and Jay?

(Disclaimer : see chapter 5)

Chapter 12 - The Parental Guidance

"Diana?" Jackie called softly to her daughter as she tapped on the bedroom door, "Are you okay, honey?"

There was no answer, but Jackie was sure Diana was in the room. She opened the door slightly and peered in. Diana was sitting on the wide ledge of the window looking out over the hills of the Genovian countryside, with her back to the door.

"Diana, what's going on?" her mother asked, coming into the room now and walking up behind the girl in the window.

"Nothing, I'm fine" she lied.

"You don't seem fine" Jackie pointed out, sitting down on the ledge next to her daughter. When Diana finally turned around, Jackie saw the tear stains on her face.

"Oh sweetheart, what is the matter?" Jackie sighed as Diana went into her mothers arms.

"Mom, I've done something stupid"

"Oh come on, it can't be all that bad" Jackie rocked her daughter to try and stop her crying but it did no good.

"I don't,...I think,...I..." Diana's words were jumbled and interrupted by sobs.

"Okay, okay, just calm down" her mother told her and after a few minutes, Diana's body stopped convulsing and the tears subsided.

"Now," Jackie took her arms from around her daughter and looked her in the eye, "tell me exactly what happened"

"Well, it was last night when you and Dad had gone out with Mia and Michael and the Pelkowskis....."

"Mom, I need to talk to you" Jay told his mother as he walked into the sitting room where Lilly sat, cradling her name sake in her arms.

"Okay" Lilly answered, "come and sit down"

Jay moved across the room and sat down next to her.

"I'm just looking after your cousin here, for a while" she smiled, "Your Aunt and Uncle have an event to attend this afternoon and we got in late last night so they're having a lie in this morning"

Jay looked at the baby his mother held.

"She's gorgeous" he admitted with a smile. Lilly was slightly surprised by his reaction to the child. It had been a long time since she had heard him say anything complimentary about anyone.

"Yes, she is" Lilly agreed, before turning to face her son properly, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Uncle Michael and Aunt Mia are the baby's parents, but Phillippe thought his Dad was another guy called Kenny, right?"

"Yes, that's because Mia had to marry someone and your Uncle Michael was scared about being a prince. They were only young when Mia got pregnant" Lilly explained, "Why the sudden interest?"

"Well, it must have been pretty rough on Phil, finding out that his Dad wasn't his Dad, that his father was really some guy he'd never met..." he left the sentence hanging to see what his mothers reaction would be.

"Jay, is this conversation going somewhere?" Lilly asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.

"Mom, I need to know the truth. Is Dad, Boris, is he my real father?"

Lilly glanced away from her son and back down at the baby in her arms. There was silence for a moment and then she spoke softly.

"From the day I realised I was pregnant to the day I held you in my arms like I hold this little girl now, and from then until now, as we sit here today, , I knew, the whole time that your father could be no-one but Boris Pelkowski" tears formed in her eyes as she finished her sentence.

Jay sighed a relieved sigh, but was still curious.

"Then why were you guys fighting about it?"

"Sometimes, it's hard to explain things to people, especially the people we love. One day, when you're older, you will understand that James" his mother sniffed, desperate not to cry.

There was silence for a few moments before Jay made a confession.

"Mom, I don't need to be older to understand. I'm going to have to tell Phillippe and everyone the truth" he said, suddenly leaping from the sofa and making for the door.

"The truth about what?" Lilly did not understand.

"Mom, last night I..., well, that's not really important, the point is...I'm in love with Diana"

Lilly could only sit and stare as James disappeared through the door. He was in love with Diana? How was that possible when he barely knew her? What was Phillippe going to say? And what, if anything, could be done to help?

A/N : I know that probably wasn't very interesting but I think it needed writing. Anyway, the next chapter should be up soon, so please keep reviewing!
