AN: Hiya all! Okay sorry for the wait truly sorry I don't mean to be slacking off, but I am testing my writing skills. I am writing a personal book about my work in India. I may post it on possibly? Well I am truly sorry. I hope all of you enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

My beta fish needs a name…. help?

(recap)

The first week was really rough though probably the worst. I was not keeping anything down. My grandmother was trying to get me to eat all the time.

"Mia please eat you need to, for you and the baby."

"Grandma I am not starving myself nor am I avoiding my food I just cant keep it down."

"Maybe more tea will help?"

"No anything but more tea."

'Yeah the only thing I was keeping down was tea. After a whole week of basically nothing but tea I never want to drink it or smell it ever again. Well on a much happier note, my belly is slightly beginning to show, well strike that it is really noticeable now. My lower stomach has got this bulge and it's beginning. Well I am going to call it a night."

"Grandma have you seen my book? I have looked everywhere for it. I had it yesterday here in the library."

"What book is it?"

"Pride and Prejudice"

"oh gad not you too!"

"What do you mean?"

"Between you and your grandmother that book is on its last leg I think. I gave it to your grandmother when she was on be4d rest with your father. She said she wanted something to read preferable Pride and Prejudice. I made the mistake of asking what book that was and I nearly had my head taken off. I was told to go get it from the library it was in a large book with several other works the author had done. I thought the book was much to heavy for her to be carrying around so I went and bought that very book in a single instead of a combine works."

"Oh is that the reason you bought it? I thought you where simply being nice. I actually liked thinking of it as the first gift of our friendship, but now I see it was merely that you did think I could carry around a book." Clarisse spat sarcastically.

"Well grandpa for your information I have read the book since I was in junior high school. And I still fall in love with it every time I read it."

"Yes dear and I have been reading it since I was a girl. Here is the book I picked it up off the table in the library last night thinking I might read it again."

"Oh, then I will give it to you when I am done with it. So grandpa did you ever get around to reading the book then?"

"The first three chapters and that was it. I really couldn't get much farther,"

"Liar you told me you read it."

"No dear I said I read it just not how much I read was what I did not tell you."

"Oh you little…." She swatted his arm playfully as he leaned over and kissed her lips.

"Oooh!"

Clarisse and Joe jumped looking panicked as they nearly flew across the room to Mia's chair.

"WHAT!" they both echoed.

"Relax the baby just gave its first kick." She said smiling and rubbing her belly that was now a whapping four and half months pregnant.

"Oh Mia can I feel?" Clarisse asked a little hasty.

"Yes, here put you hand here." Taking Clarisse hand in hers she place the hand on her belly where the baby had begun kicking.

"Mia it's magical!"

"Yes Mia you are doing wonders for this family"

"I know I just cant wait to have it here I wish it was over quickly and had my baby here."

"Yeah but this is a special connection you have with your baby right now. You know I don't remember being this big at four months." Clarisse gave her a suspicious look.

"Hey don't look at me like that I laid off the ice cream I only have a little bit every other day."

"Mia you know your supposed to eat as healthy as possible."

"I know I know but listen I am a pregnant woman and I have my cravings to fix."

"Oh Clarisse lay off her I remember you had a fix four sour crout with one of your boys. You ate it almost every day."

"Hmm that's why I probably don't like sour crout," Pierre said as he entered Mia's office. "Hey little lady aren't you supposed to be in a bed?"

"Yes it was you that I have the craving with but at least sour crout was healthier than ice cream. How are you Pierre?"

"Good. I was just stopping by to see how everyone was. Also I came to find out what the New Years party was going to be? I know you said masquerade but I never got a for sure yes or no on that?"

"You could have called with that question, but it is so nice to have you so close that you can just come over."

"Thanks mum."

"Uncle Pierre it is going to be a masquerade. What are you going to come as?"

"Oh I was thinking about maybe coming as an Archbishop."

"Oh funny, no really what are you going to come as?"

"Well if I told you it would defeat the purpose of it being a masquerade. Speaking of which how are the four of you going to pull it off?"

"Uh well there will be no announcements for anyone. We will all entering among the crowd."

"Yes, that was Mia's idea. Also this is Mia's last ball until the little one is born. So I let her get away with a little extra."

"Oh you are treating me like I am five! Honestly I am twenty-four and I am married not to mention the Queen of a small European country and I have a baby on the way."

"Mia I am only doing what your own mother would do, and I know what is best for you, me being the one with experience in all that you are going through. Remember it was I who passed that crown to you, and have two sons and now I am on my second and best marriage might I add. So I know exactly what you are going through dear now don't scowl at me for being over protective when I know it's needed."

"Oh you are a royal in the ass sometimes." Mia got up and stomped out of the room.

Clarisse through her hands up in the air and sat back into Joseph arms.

"Uh should someone go after her?"

"No Pierre she has been like this for a month now, Moooody."

"It her hormones she cant control those. I just wish that she wasn't so stubborn. I'm really just trying to make things work out smoothly for her."

"Well dear as you said she can't control it so don't let it get to you okay." He said as he gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Whoa, hey what's wrong?"

"She is so controlling and I think I am going to go nuts if I have to sit here in this room or any other room for that matter for five more months with nothing more to do than sit and read and sign papers. Nick I need something to do."

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into him, as she began to sob.

"Well you could do the weekly meet and greet I know she wouldn't object to that you are sitting the whole time. Maybe come with me to some of the parliament meetings here every once in a while, but Mia she is right when it comes to you resting and not doing to much you need to be off your feet and not putting to much stress on yourself. So maybe we can talk her into letting you do a few things that require you to sit the whole time."

"Uh Nick what am I going to do with myself?" she said whipping away her tears.

"Well first lets wipe away your tears, now I am going to kiss you (Kiss) and then you are going to sit down and take a nap because you look exhausted and then when you get up we will talk to grandma about you running the meet and greet again."

"yes, (she gave a big yawn as he helped her lie down on the bed.) The baby began to kick today."

"Oh Mia that's wonderful is the baby kicking now?"

"Oh active as ever."

"Good. Mia we are going to make great parents. We both love this child already so much and it's not even here yet."

"Hmm I know Nick." Sleepily pulling the blanket up over her shoulders

"Well relax dear and I will see you in a few hours." Bending down he gently placed a quick kiss on her forehead. Getting up and padding across the room he saw Clarisse coming in through the sitting room.

"Oh good Nicholas where is she?"

"Sleeping, uh can I ask what the argument was about this time? Or should I just leave it at the fact that she is more than just hormonal at the moment."

"No she is not just hormonal she is very very hormonal all I said was that I would like this new years ball to he her last until she has the baby. The stress of these things not to mention that fact that she is already a high risk pregnancy due to stress levels we need to keep her limited to very little, she just needs to understand that."

"I know and she does understand that, but it is driving her nuts not doing anything. I was speaking to her about it and I know that she would love to and it would make less for me to do, plus she would be sitting the whole time."

"What is it that she wants to do?"

"Well she can do the weekly meet and greets, because she will be sitting the whole time and occasionally she could possibly sit in parliament with me. I know she would be great with at least that to do?"

"Well I think the meet and greets is a good way of getting her mind of just staying around and working ever so slightly."

"Okay I can agree to that"

AN: this is a splicer the next one will be done tomorrow and updated till tomorrow.
