Chapter 13

"Awake as in from a coma"?

When I woke up I heard them talking to the doctor. "The bullet didn't do that much damage although it did Rupture her Gala Marian Disc so she will no longer be able to have children. But other than that Her Majesty should be fine Your Majesty". "Thank You". She smiled her Queenly smile it had improved. Oh Holy Hell! Did he just say I'd been SHOT? "I got shot"! "Gramma calm down your gonna tear your stitches". "Stitches! What the Hell Happened"? "Gramma There was an attempt on my lyfe and you hugged me and got in the way. Never have I been so grateful for you loving me. But I do have three people who love you more than me". "And here I thought it was impossible" That's when I realized it was all a dream. All of it. The Kids Asana and Mike, Shades and Mia. Mia was with Nicolas and She was Queen, and they had kids but that was it. Wow! "Gramma"! "Ana, Nicky, Paige! How are my favorite Grandkids"? "Well on the account of our Favorite Gramma Being shot not that Peachy"! Anastasia surely did have a mouth on her! She was ten (as were the others) and she always had a smart mouth answer for everything. "You can't be smart with Gramma Today Or I'll". She leaned over to whisper the rest of what she had to say. "Oh Yeah! Let's settle this in the Hallway shall we"? "I don't have time to waist on you. While we're fighting Derek Jeter could walk down the hallway"! Paige was convinced that she was going to marry Derek Jeter. "Hey! Gramma How come you were sleep so long? Mommy was so worried that all she ate was Ice Cream! She wouldn't even share"! "Amelia Mignonette Annalisa Antoinette Sarah Michelle Sari Thermopolis Renaldi why did you not share with my Grandkids"? "OHHHHHHH! Mommy Gramma used the whole name thing on you! Your in trouble"! With that they hopped off of the bed and ran outta the room. I smiled while Mia tried to control her Giggles. "I missed you Gramma". "I missed you to My Mia". She snuggled close to me and fell asleep just like that.

2 WEEKS LATER

I was watching him slide down the railing. He'd done it twice and was trying to perfect his technique. "Nicholas Anthony Joseph Devereux! How many times have I told you not to slide down these banisters"? "Countless times Grandmother". I loved to hear him speak! He had Mia's Father's accent, and he wore it wonderfully. "Did Your Grandfather teach you how to slide down the banister"? "I am sworn to secrecy". I pulled 50.00 out of my pocket and he snatched it. "Yes" "Take me to him". He took my hand and led me to Joseph. When we entered the room he said, "Gramma caught me sliding on the banisters. It was me or you". "Thanks Nicky". He hopped back down the hallway. "Joseph do you have a fever"? "No". "Would you like one"?
