Irina,
Congratulations on your engagement; I love Jonathan very much and
I know he loves you and Sydney. Here is a wedding dress you can wear
it if you like.
Irina opened the large box that lay on her bed and pulled out a pale green dress. It was wide and sleeveless with jews strung throughout. It was a beautiful dress, a replica of one she had wanted as a girl. She didn't understand how her mother would know that and she intended to find out.
" Mother?" Irina called in to Anastastia's office.
" Yes? Oh Irina what a surprise. What are you doing here, shouldn't you be planning your wedding?"
" Sydney, Rory and Em have it." Irina said walking around and inspecting the room. " I got the dress you left."
" That's good."
" How did you remember that I wanted that? Did Mammy or Rory tell you?" Irina asked suspiciously.
" You are my daughter and I know what you like, I don't need to ask anyone. You looked very beautiful last night."
" Thank you so did you. It was a very nice party. I'm sorry." Irina said not looking at Anastastia's face.
" For?"
" Everything. Being the reason Dad was killed, not telling you the truth, the laws I've broken. Thank you getting me out of jail."
" Yes well Ava and Rory begged me and it doesn't look good to have your daughter as prisoner." Anastasia said grinning." Come with me."
Irina followed Anastasia who took out a key and unlocked a cabinet. She reached in and pulled out a crown.
" This is yours." Irina turned around and let Anastasia place the crown on her head. " Princess Irina Greenlee Romanov Derevko."
" Princess?"
" Princess. I love you Irina. I'll never forgive you for joining the KGB, encouraging organized crime and abandoning all of us but I love you." Anastasia said embracing Irina in a hug.
" I love you too Mom."
" Do you want to join me for tea?"
" No, not now I want to go to the Cathedral."
" Okay. Just don't forget you're getting married at six."
