AN: Thanks again for all who reviewed. As for Clarisse's babbling I know her character is not one to say more than is needed but I made it seem like she has so much to say but really did not know where to go with it her thoughts because she too was a wreck from the mess. Plus in future chapters I will divulge more as to why she is a wreck. But I have now decided I LOVE WRITING! Such an out let. Also good news to all those who want this to continue I went through a lot of my diaries and pulled the stories our and did a little playing around with them and now I have this HUGE story that I could go on for chapters and chapters. Or I could put them as sequels but it will be one continuous story that involves all our favorite characters and their ups and downs. Births, deaths, Marriage's such forth. Let me know if you want it in chapters or sequels.

Writers Love, Tierra ; )

Disclaimer: Oh I forgot to mention I DO NOT OWN these characters Meg Cabbot does and Disney and if I did I would be rich and not have to work full time. I only claim the plot lines in these stories

Clarisse and Joseph reached their suite. Gently gripping his arm Clarisse pulled Joseph into their room and closed the door and backed him up against it. Moving closer she placed her hands on his chest slowly moving up to his neck and his face now cupping his cheeks in her hand she moved in and kissed his lips so softly it was intoxicating and Joseph could feel the blood rushing through out his body. She knew how to drive him wild. Taking hold of her waist he pulled her in even closer and deepened the kiss. He felt Clarisse pulling his tie off and then begin to unbutton his shirt. He knew it would be impossible here so he picked her up and set her in the bed then running his hands down her thigh and then her calf to her feet where he pulled her shoes of then moving back up to her inner thigh where he encounter her garter holding up her stockings he unpinned it and the moved up to her waist and the to her shoulders pulling off her jacket and then kicking off his own shoes and moving on to the bed gently lying her down he began his kisses up and down her neck and along her jaw line teasing her lips just enough to drive her wild. Finally she gripped his arms and pulled him down to her. Kissing him. His hands were running up and down her sides making sure to pay extra attention. To her sensitive area's making her wiggle a little when he hit just the right one's.

"Joseph… Joseph."

"Yes."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Make love to me."

The two feel into a deep sleep after sharing moments of deep passionate love.

Mia stirred in Nicholas's embrace waking both of them up. Nick looked down into her big brown eyes.

"I love you. I always have. You must know that."

"I do now and I love you too."

"I can't go another day with out you and being able to love you. Mia can you forgive me."

"Yes Nick I can. I know too that I cannot live another day without you either."

"Marry Me?"

"Yes Nick Yes."

"Good"

He bent down and kissed her.

"Why don't we take a few days to ourselves?'

"Oh Nick I don't think I could I mean we aren't married yet and I'm still Queen I have responsibilities."

"I have a feeling that things were going to be on hold for a few days anyway."

"Alright I'll speak to my grandmother about it."

"Good. Now lets get some more sleep. I love having you in my arms."

"I love being in your arms."

The next morning Mia, Nick, Joe and Clarisse were sitting at the breakfast table enjoying a big breakfast all feeling much better Joseph had been close to his wife and Nick and Mia now happy again helped relieve some of the palaces stress.

"Your Majesty…"

"Nicholas Please I'm not Queen any more please call me Clarisse."

"Clarisse I would like to have your approval of courting Mia also I would like to take her away for a few days for some much needed rest."

"Both are splendid Ideas yes you may court her. As for going away with her you too are not married and I think it only appropriate that Joseph and My self accompany you."

"I can deal with that. I promise not to try anything." He smiled big

"Nick!"

"Ouch." Mia punched his arm "What was that for?"

"You know perfectly well. What it was for. You will not get me in anyway until we are married." Mia laughed while teasing Nick back.

"Mia… Really queen's are not supposed to open about sex."

"Oh but my dear we are." Joe pitched in playing along

"Not you too."

"Clarisse my darling we are all happy and it is a spot of harmless humor. Plus they are young… Don't you remember we were too?"

"Joseph… Yes but not as young as these two."

"Grandma! I can't believe you! You didn't did you?"

"Another story another time. We should go pack lets leave as soon as possible."

"Where are we going?"

"Well there is this beautiful beach house about four hours from here and it's a perfect time of year to rest on the beach."

"We have a beach house? Why did I not know this?"

"Well it hasn't been used for several years. Come lets go pack I want to leave in an hour or two. Make the most of our few days there."

"Alright, I need to speak with Charlotte she will need to know and we will need some staff on hand there."

"Mia I already spoke to Charlotte she knows that we are not to be disturbed while resting here but that is unlikely to happen here and well our days to relax here can be moved to relax there and as for a staff there is one on hand there any how the keep it up."

"Well let's go then." Mia got up and left the room with the others leaving to pack their things for the beach.

A few hours later Mia and Nick were waiting in the Entrance hall waiting for Clarisse and Joseph to come down. Finally the two came down fallowed by a few staff members carrying four suitcases.

"Yup it's a record she only packed three."

"Wow that many grandma. I'm impressed."

"You two honestly. Mia how many did you pack?"

"Um… two"

"Hah see I'm not that bad."

"Alright dear. Shall we go?"

"Yes is the helicopter ready?"

"We have a helicopter too?"

"Yes Mia it is used very rarely and I want to make the most of our journey come we have a four hour flight. Would have been a nine hour drive had we chosen that route."

They spent most of the flight talking about documents that had to be brought along. They required signatures and delegating immediately. Finally the Helicopter slowed down as it came around a mountainside to a privet cove with a large beach house surrounded by trees on three sides and the beach in front. After landing and bringing in the entire luggage the aircraft was off and the family moved inside to be greeted by the staff.

"Now Nicholas you room will be there just down the corridor. Mia yours is here and this is Josephs and mine." Clarisse pointed to two rooms at either end of the hall and then hers in the middle.

"No fooling around you two" Joe said in a sarcastic fatherly voice. Which made everyone laugh and earned him a swat on the arm form Clarisse.

"Lets Freshen up and have dinner then we can go for a walk."

"Sounds perfect." Mia yelled from her room.

Clarisse and Joe made is down to dinner first fallowed by Nicholas shortly after, they waited for about 10 minute and then Clarisse decided to go get her. But as she was about to get up Mia entered wearing a stunning little black dress that clung to her figure beautifully swaying slightly just above her knees. It had a low back and well a low front too with no sleeves the dress was topped off with a slightly healed sandle.

"Wow Mia you look…"

"Breath taking." Finished Josephs sentence as he stood up to greet her and help her into her chair.

" Mia dear you look beautiful. May I ask what the occasion is?" Clarisse herself too was in a sport little dress only hers wasn't as flashy is was a light blue with a short sleeve.

"None just happy to be with my loved ones. Lets eat shall we?"

"Yes."

Dinner went by quickly and soon they were sitting on the patio looking out at the beach and the star filled night sky.

Slipping off her shoes Mia walked down the steps and headed for the shoreline still holding onto her tea. Clarisse looked at Joe as to mention to fallow her and with out word he did as if understanding the silent communication.

Once out both were out of ear shot Nicholas turned to Clarisse who was leaning up against the railing. He came up next to her and sighed.

"Its Beautiful isn't it?" she said

"Yes she is… Clarisse I want to ask you something…"

"I already said you could date her."

"No it's not that… Do you think this will fit her?' He pulled out a beautiful ring. There was a large center diamond and several smaller ones but not much smaller along the band then it had two other bands on each side of it with several begets along it.

"Oh Nicholas… It's beautiful." She took the ring from his palm and was examining it. "Yes I think this should fit. My its it so beautiful."

"It's so much more beautiful when I think of it on her hand as symbol to the world of my love for her. These rings have very special pasts to me."

"Oh…"

"The center one was My mothers and the two outer one's belonged to my grandmother they were at one time one ring but I had them separated and placed on the sides my mothers. I love both of them dearly and I wanted my wife to have something to show my love for her and I hope that these rings will bless our marriage as the two were very happy."

"Nicholas its perfect. Come lets go for a walk. I think I'll still my husband back from Mia and you can go speak."
