The 3 couples
all sat in Mias suite. Mia had moved her 3 sofa's in front of the
t.v. She had Moulin Rouge, Sound of Music and pride and Prejudice. A
large box of chocolates sat on the table placed in the middle along
with lots of drinks, snacks and popcorn (pear flavoured of course!)
Nicholas and Joe had decided to bow out of Sounf of Music so they
sat themselves down in mias huge closet playing cards. Shades however
decided to watch the film which reulted in him being the butt of many
jokes.
Mia grabbed lots of spare blankets and made sure everybody
was comfy then grabbed the remote control.
Charlotte and Shades
had a blanket wrapped around them and Mia had a blanket across her
legs. Clarisse had decided not to have one as she was quite hot
already. Mia hit the play button and settled down to watch the film.
"if i wasnt a princess id love to be an austrian nun"
"only because you have a crush on christopher plummer darling"
"I agree with Mia, he was quite hot in his day Clarisse"
Shades playfully slapped charlottes arm.
"what! he was"
"he is nice to look at, i do agree with that one"
"grandma!"
Clarisse laughed. Clarisse opened her arms and Mia cuddled up to her grandmother. This was a hobby she loved. Joe and Nicholas were heavily into their card game that they didnt notice the complete silence apart from edelweiss playing on the film.
"i dont know why women like the sound of music, i hate it, too many hills and smiling faces"
"now joe dont let your wife hear you say that, she ahs a bit of a thing for the captain"
"i could win him in a fight anyday, remember my diplomatic immunities?"
Both men laughed.
When the film credits went up Joe and Nicholas decided to call it a night and packed up their cards.
"its awfully quiet in there joe"
"they are probably fast asleep"
Nicholas and Joe walked into the room and the sight was a
picture to melt even Count Mayberry's heart.
Mia was fast asleep
in Clarisse's arms her head resting on her grandmothers lap, a
blanket barely covering them. Charlotte and Shades had fallen asleep
resting on each others shoulders wrapped up tight in a blanket. Joe
stopped the video.
"i dont think we should wake them up they look so peaceful"
"Mia is so close to her grandmother, look at them joe, arnt they happy"
"indeed, theres nothing i wouldnt do for them girls Nick"
Nicholas covered Mia and Clarisse with a blanket and quietly sneaked out with Joe. The sound of the door woke Clarisse up. She opened her eyes and studied her grandaughters resting face. She so desperatly wanted to get into her own bed but cherished the moments Mia and her spent like this. Instead she stroked Mias face causing her to stir, Mia uttered 4 little words that made Clarisse the proudest woman alive...
"i love you grandma"
The queen smiled and a single tear fell from her eye,
"I love you too my love"
