AN: Hey chapter 15 had a name change (I'm and idiot) also a few grammar errors where fixed. To all who have requested this never end, guess what you have a long ways to go before we worry about that. Instead of doing several stories, which I have written out, I'm going to combine all of them together. Into this one big story. Also you all are gonna flip whats in store for Charlotte.

Allie- yes my acrylics are still on, but I shortened them so I could actually work in them. And don't worry I will have a few more chapters up quickly.

Katie- I'm glad you're addicted to my story because I like it too. It is coming kinda by the seat of my pants. I have stories all laid out and plot lines to run its just getting them all to run smoothly. I just sit and type and it all comes to me!

Pokimon- Thanks for the 'fallow' correction!

Also I got to much in a hurry to get the last chapter up that I forgot to mention the poem is not mine it is unknown. But if anyone finds out I will definitely give him or her credit for it. And you should all know I don't own this and I think disclaimers are dumb if I was going to claim this you would all know. Because I'd say I do own it. But only in my dreams. LOL

Tierra-

The next morning Mia woke to find Nicholas looking at her.

"Morning beautiful!"

"Morning my husband."

"Should we get up and go to breakfast or should we stay and make love again like last night?"

"Hmm both very tempting but I think all I want is you."

She moved in closer to him and began to kiss his chest moving up his neck and then finally reaching his lips. He let a soft groan and moved her onto her back and they made love again in the mid morning light."

Mean while Clarisse and Joe where cuddled up still sleeping when a soft knock on their door woke them.

"Come in!" Joe growled

"Mother?"

"Oh, Pierre!"

"Uh sorry mum… I'll be in the sitting room."

Pierre turned a little red and turned around and closed the door behind him.

"Merry Christmas Mr. Clause."

"Morning Mrs. Clause."

"Merry Christmas, dear I'll be back in a minute I don't want to keep Pierre waiting. I think we embarrassed him."

"Yes well maybe a bit."

Clarisse got up and pulled on a long robe and headed for her sitting room.

"Pierre I'm so glad you made it here safely."

"Yes well sorry for walking in on you and Joe."

"No apologies needed we are married and nothing was happening we were just sleeping."

"Oh."

"Pierre is everything all right? You seem a bit nerved."

"Yes well mum it's the Viscount Mavbrey, or at least I think it is he. But some one keeps sending me letters. Telling me to step up and be a man and take the throne and then it move on to laugh at me saying I couldn't because I'm not King Rupert's son."

"How many have you gotten? These letters I mean."

"Mum its not the letters that bother me, it's the fact that they say I'm not Rupert's son."

"Pierre you know that is a lie don't you? I never stepped out on your father while we were married. Although he had his mistresses, I never did any such thing it was expected of me not to but also I tried to keep our relationship going. It was only a friendship but we did out best."

"I'm sorry I doubted you mum. I should have known."

"It's all right dear. I thought you were to busy to make it down this Christmas?"

"Well I made a few arrangements. After I got my last letter yesterday."

"Oh well will you be able to spend some time with us. Mia and Nick will be leaving today but Joseph and I can still entertain."

"I'd love to mum." Pierre said pulling his mother into a hug.

Clarisse returned to her room after seeing Pierre off. She climbed back in bed next to Joseph.

"Can I Higher you again Sir Joseph. Temporarily for a small assignment."

"Oh yes any time my dear" he began to place kisses all over her neck and moved up to her jaw line finally reaching her mouth. She put a bit of pressure on his chest with her hand separating them. He pulled back and gave her a puzzled look.

"Clarisse is something wrong?"

"Yes…"

"Oh!"

"Oh no no, no, Joseph not like that. Its just Pierre said that he had been receiving letters saying he should have stepped up to the throne when Philippe died, but then it says never mind that he is not of the royal blood line because his father is not Rupert."

"If it says his father is not Rupert. Who is it suggesting?" He paused for a second waiting for an answer but quickly realized he was in bed with Pierre's mother. "Oh. You mean the letters thinks I'm the father."

"Yes, He thinks they are coming from the Viscount."

"Oh doesn't that wretched man know when to call it quits"

"No I guess not."

"Well on a happier note do you think Mia and Nick are awake yet?"

"Hmm were we when first got married?"

"Well yes but we were not to be disturbed."

"I think I'm safe in saying the two are much younger than we are and should definitely not be disturbed until we at least get too hungry and then I will call her room."

"Sounds like a good idea. So where were we?"

"I think it was something like this."

She pulled oh his pajama shirt her lips meeting his as she fell back onto the pillows. Felling the warmth of him leaning against her. She was in heaven definitely in heaven.

Several hours later they had decided to get up and get ready for the day it was now 10:30 and there were still presents under the tree. Clarisse made her way down stairs with Joseph she noticed that there was still no sign of Mia or nick anywhere so she stopped in her office and sat down at her desk and picked up the phone and dialed Mia's room.

It rang a few times and then Nick finally answered it.

"Hello newly wed's suite."

"Are you two up finally?" Clarisse said laughing.

"Yes Mia is just about ready. We'll be down in a minute or two.'

"All right I'll have breakfast ordered."

Clarisse hung up the phone still laughing. Then she got up and took Josephs hand and headed for the Lounge. Helen and Patrick made it there just as Clarisse and Joe and Pierre had followed by Lily and Charlotte. They all sat down around the room full of comfy chairs in front of the blazing fireplace. When Mia finally arrived arm in arm with Nick.

"Morning everyone." She said.

"Well look who has finally decided to grace us with their presence?" Joe said chuckling.

"Funny Grandpa if I remember I did not see you and Grandma for two whole days, after you were married.'

The room burst into laughter.

"Well should we have breakfast first or open presents?" Clarisse asked.

"Are you kidding mother? Presents!" Pierre said joining in on the fun.

They all sat around the tree opening their presents. Most everyone was just having a laugh watching Mia. It seems everyone had gone in on this Christmas joke. Mia's face could not get any redder and Nick was just laughing so hard.

"Ok, Okay I get the joke. No are there any presents under the tree for me that doesn't have anything to do with little pieces of lace?"

"Serves you right for getting married on Christmas." Joe said as they all continued to laugh.

"Well dear look at this way, you have a full collection of lingerie." Nick said still laughing also making the room burst into new fits of laughter. Mia playfully slapped his arm and decided to silence his laughter with a kiss.

"Okay, next." Clarisse said

There were actually two presents under the tree that did not add to Mia's Lingerie collection. They all moved into the dinning room where breakfast was served. After all had stuffed them selves with the Christmas breakfast Mia and Nick headed off for their honeymoon.

"5 days in paradise." Clarisse said as they took off in Genovian Royal helicopter.

THE END
