Hello. I guess I didn't get a chance to update as often as I wanted. I went shopping and well you know how that goes. We are also really into spring cleaning lately. I am ready to update daily (well not daily but more often then before). Here's a shout out to all you lovely reviewers.

Family Reunion

My mum came as quickly as she could to me. Dad was right behind her though it was amazing how fast mum could be though she looked a lot larger than when I last saw her. Wait…isn't mum supposed to be in labor?

"Mum!" I said mainly out of surprise of seeing her out of bed.

"Oh Ria, dear, how nice…it is…to see…you." Mum said breathing pretty hard.

"Bella, that can't be good for you. Sit down. Hello Derek." Dad said quickly (using his nickname for mum) having finally caught up to mum.

"King James, Queen Isabelle," Derek said bowing politely.

"Oh yes, um, Peter! Could you show Prince Derek to a guest bedroom please?" I asked the nearest servant.

"Of course Princess Andrea. Follow me please." Peter said and Derek looked back helplessly. I was too busy with my parents to worry much though.

"Uh, Dad, I thought you said mum was having the baby?" I asked dad.

"Well, she was, sort of. It was false labor. This happens quite often when the parents are older in their years." Dad said. I gave a disgusted face.

"That was too much information, dad." I said.

"Yes and I am not that old," mum said a bit huffy-like. "It is also a very good thing it was only false labor because the baby would have had much less of chances of surviving had it been born now." Mum added.

"Alright, well, I am home now. So what's new?" I asked looking at my parents. I noticed quite a change in their appearance. They had a few wrinkles and I spotted a few gray hairs as well. They also had round circles under their eyes. They looked like they needed a lot of rest.

Both my parents eyed me warily. "Excuse me, but where have you been for the last twenty-four hours?" dad asked jokingly.

"Dad why don't you take a nap. You look like you could use it. I will have a little talk with mum about everything and then we will meet up for supper." I said getting a bit business like. "Derek can go horseback riding or something for a while."

"Derek's here? I didn't even notice. I will have to say hello to him really quick."mum said.

"Well I suppose. Are you up to helping your mum out?" dad asked.

"Of course, I am not five years old. Now go. You need the sleep. I can take care of it." I said pushing dad to the door.

"Alright, but if there is any problems just wake me up. Bella don't do anything to strain yourself. It is good for anyone." Dad said while leaving.

"I am not a baby." Mum grumbled.

"So have you gotten a nursery set up?" I asked mum once dad had shut the door.

"Yes and it is absolutely darling. There is little ducks and flowers all over. Dad was against the flowers, in case the baby is a boy, but I couldn't resist. Let me show you." Mum said and went out the door. She went to a room that was next to their bedroom. It was adorable.

The walls were all yellow and green and there was a small amount of lilies in the room. There was a rocking chair and ducks everywhere. There was a bed made out of oak for the baby. There was also some other furniture in there made of oak.

Mum sat down in the rocking chair. "It has been so long since there has been a baby around here and I am so ready for it. I can't believe I am going through this again." She said.

"Mum I need to talk to you. You know my curse. Well it's broken." I said. Mum looked at me skeptically.

"Really Ria be realistic." Mum said.

"I am ask me anything and I will lie." I told her.

"Fine, what is your favorite color?" she asked.

"Black."

"I always thought it was purple." Mum said.

"I was lying. And it is really blue."

"Ask me another question and I won't answer it at all." I said.

"Alright, Who do you fancy?" mum asked. I raised my eyebrows. "I can't help but be curious." I shook my head.

"Interesting, very interesting. I suppose you may be telling the truth. But you can tell me. Then I won't have to arrange a marriage if I know you are going somewhere." Mum said.

"What! I am only sixteen!" I said.

"So, I was married when I was eighteen and I had you by the time I was twenty-one. Age is only a number. But I agree. I don't want you marrying to young. You have to live your life a bit. Your father wants you to be ready to marry when you turn twenty and you need to have options open before then." Mum said.

"Well I do have a couple of people in mind." I said picturing each person I was thinking about.

"Well, spill!" mum said excitedly.

"Alright, you know one of the people but the other I don't think you do." I hinted.

"Give me names or letters at least." Mum said like a little girl.

"Okay, a D and a S." I told her, "but that is all the talk you will get out of me."

"Hmm, Dylan, Steven, Dennis, Dave, Duane, Dan, Don, Scott, Sable, Salem, Shoran…" mum said naming off people she knew.

"Let's go to dinner before you get a headache." I said grinning. She's never going to figure this out.

"Clarisse that dinner was lovely. It has been so long since I have eaten a home-cooked meal made by you. Thanks." I told my servant when dinner was over. Derek was practically glued to my side since I left the baby's room for dinner. He has been making sweet little comments all night though. That sort of makes up for him being annoying. But not completely.

"So have you picked out any names?" Derek asked.

"We have a few of our favorites saved." Dad said.

"Like what? Tell us, please." I begged dad.

"Well, these are really different from the ones we sent in the letter, for a boy we have Adam, Evan, and James/Jake picked out. And for a girl we have Emily, Alana, Camille, and Lillian." Dad told us.

"I really like Evan for a boy and Lillian for a girl."

"We have yet to pick out our favorites." Dad said.

"Well I think I am up for some fresh air. Would you like to join me Ria?" Derek asked.

"I would love to." I said and we walked outside. Meanwhile inside my mum had a brainstorm.

"Derek!" she said to my father. But we were ignorant to their whispering.

Alright so that is five and a half pages total. It should be longer soon!

"I Love Rock'n Roll" (not really but who cares!),
