AN: here's the next chapter! Oh and I did change Mia's age for the story. Sorry if things are sort of messed up! R&R!

Chapter 3

December 19th

God, why is it taking Grandmere SO LONG to decide? I mean, today I already asked my dad! I called him on the phone at around noon today. Here's how it went:

"Hello, this is Prince Philippe Renaldo speaking."
"Hi dad, it's me."
"Hello, Mia. What's new?"
I told him about the contest and my name being drawn with 15 other students. He was really happy for me, and said he was proud of me that I won.

"That's great, Mia! I'm very happy and proud of you!"

"So, may I go?"
"Of course! Have you asked your mother?"
"Yeah, and she said I could go. But Grandmere said she'd tell me in two days."
"Two days?"
"I know! Can you tell her that you and mom allowed me to go? I mean, she can't make ALL the decisions around here, she's not the queen."
"Actually, she is."
"No, she's the Dowager Princess. And still, just because she thinks she's higher than me doesn't make her get to run my life."
"I know that, Mia. I'll make sure she'll let you go."
"Really? Thank you!"
"No problem. I'll see you soon."
We said goodbye, and hung up. I decided to go over to Lilly's house, since I was pretty bored.

When I got to Lilly's house, she had Boris over.
"Hi, Mia!" She said. "Come on in."
"Hey, Lilly," I said. "Thanks!"
"Michael's at his band practice," she said, "you just missed him."
"Damn," I said. "Oh well. So what are you and Boris up to?"
"I vas joost playing Lilly my new violin sonata. Do you vant to hear it?" Boris asked in his heavy Russian accent.
I glanced at Lilly, who said, "it's very good. I think it's probably Boris's best sonata."
"Okay," I said. "Are you going to hear it again, Lilly?"
"No thanks," Lilly said, "once is enough. I'm going to go to my room to think of ideas for my next episode. Have fun!" She smiled at us and left the room.

I sat on the couch and Boris stood up. He told me the name of the sonata and began playing it. Boris was very good. I think he's improved a lot since last year, and I told him.
"Thank you," he said. "I think I am going to see vhat Lilly's up to."
After that, Lilly had already thought of a new idea for her episode.

Lilly tells it like it is

For this episode, I am going to interview random people in the mall and asking them what they like most about the mall. Then I'm going to ask them random questions, and after they leave, I am going to get my friends to mimick them and speak just the way they spoke. It will be a hilarious episode!

That sounded pretty good to me. I can't wait to try it! Lilly says we're going to the mall on Saturday, if we're free.

We're going on the ten month trip the week after the Christmas holidays. Oh my god, Christmas is in 6 days! Whoa.

I still remember my pregnancy, I haven't forgotten it. I can't wait until it's born, and Michael and I can give it names. It should be a long name, because it's going to be a prince or princess.

For guys, I like Alexander, Jordan, James, and Daniel. For girls I like Maria, Elena, Amber, Larissa, Emma, Caitlyn, and Rosa.

I don't know whether Michael likes them, though. I am going to ask him when he comes back.

Prince Jordan Alexander Moscovitz Renaldo (I wanted to get the Thermopolis in there, but it doesn't sound good beside 'Moscovitz')

Prince Daniel James Moscovitz Renaldo

Princess Rosa Marie Moscovitz Renaldo

Princess Caitlyn Larissa Moscovitz Renaldo

Princess Amber Marie Moscovitz Renaldo

I don't know. I love ALL the names, but I'm not sure what Michael likes.

December 20th

Five days til Christmas! I bought a lot of presents so far.

Lilly –blank video tapes for her show

Michael -2 cds that he's been wanting to get, and a love card

Mom –a really nice hoodie that I think would look great on her

Dad -3 books

Grandmere –a ruby necklace (it was one of those beautiful and cheap ones on the shopping channel)

Fat Louie –some new toys

Shameeka –new make up

Tina -3 magazines and a romance novel

Ling Su –a sketch book and a cd she's been wanting

Boris –a classical cd (with violin sonatas)

I'm pretty sure they'll love it all. I went shopping by myself (actually, with Lars).

It was pretty busy, too.

Oh, by the way, Grandmere called. She said I could go! I'm so excited! Mom and Dad made her let me go. I've never been more grateful to them in my whole life.

I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I really can't believe this! It's like, the best thing that's ever happened to me! I called Michael and Lilly to tell them that I WAS going. Lilly was so happy, all she did was shriek! And Michael…well, I'm sure he wasn't that happy, because he won't be seeing his girlfriend for ten months. I promised I'd call him whenever I was at a hotel with a phone, and I'd let him know everything, about what I was doing, what happened, where we were going next, and how I'm doing with the baby.
I'm SO GLAD that Michael hadn't accidentally let it slip to Lilly that I am carrying a future heir. Because then Lilly would've said it wasn't good for me to go, and she'd tell her parents to analyze me or whatever, and then they'd tell MY parents who'd definitely NOT let me go, plus they'd get all mad at me, and Grandmere's would be even WORSE.
THANK GOD Michael and I hadn't told anyone, and thank god I'm going away for ten months! I'm saved! Just imagine the looks on their faces when I bring home a baby.
Or, I could take it back to the palace of Genovia, and make my servants not tell anyone, ESPECIALLY not the media. Oh, god!

I think the only way is to let my maids raise the baby. They'd do a great job, I think.
Then I'd be safe….ish.
