AN: Wow chapter 33! I never thought I would get so far. You all guessed right there is a plot twist in store for you. But don't worry it's a good plot twist. Oh exciting events coming up.
The next morning Mia woke to Clarisse coming in with her ladies maids who had her breakfast. And Charlotte followed in along with Lily who where both on their cell phones and had palm pilots in hand.
"Don't any of you know the meaning of sleeping in? Or how about letting me sleep."
"Mia we have several things to do."
"I thought I wasn't going to be aloud out of this bed until the twins are born."
"You're not leaving the bed. That's why we are here. First eat your breakfast then we are going to call the doctor as per his instructions on the paper with the pictures of the twins"
"Okay what else is on the schedule?"
"Well Nicholas is off with the Prime Minister in meetings and we have some paper work to sift through." Lilly stated as she slumped down into a chair next to the bed.
"You know I though I would toughly enjoy staying in bed and having my breakfast brought to me everyday being waited on hand and foot. But all I want to do now is get up go to the kitchen and pour my self a bowl of Cheerios and sit at the counter with my pj's on. The luxuries of life that we take for granted."
"Mia you know very well that you are not to get out of that bed nor are you going to the kitchen in your night clothes to eat cheerios. You are off your feet permanently and eating a healthy well balanced diet."
"Hey you have been in the kitchen in your pj's I don't see why I couldn't be in mine?"
"That's not the point. Mia you are to stay in bed… Now Charlotte would you mind getting the doctor on the phone?"
"Yes Clarisse."
Charlotte dialed the office and handed the phone to Clarisse as it began to ring.
"Good afternoon Dr. Lind's office how may I help you?"
"Yes I would like to speak with Dr. Lind please."
"I am sorry ma'am but he isn't taking personal calls today can I do something for you? Or answer any question you may have?"
"Well I don't know if you recognize the voice but this is Queen Clarisse Renaldi Romero. I am calling on behalf of Queen Amelia. The doctor came for a visit yesterday and requested we call him this morning."
"Right and I am the queen of Sheba!"
"Ma'am I don't know what I could do to make this clear but I need to speak with Dr. Lind now if you would like to go and ask him if he is waiting for a call from the royal family you could or you can just take the phone to him and tell him that the Dowager Queen Clarisse Renaldi is on the phone that might help to or you could very well find yourself out of a job Madame now make your decision."
"Look lady he told me no personal calls and I listen to my boss if you would like me to take a message I can."
"Well in that case never you mind we will be there shortly."
Clarisse hung up the phone and looked at Mia. Who was nearly in tears trying to hold back the laughter?
"Alright we are going down there then. That woman really needed work on her phone skills. Well over all she just needed to be more polite and even to a former Queen I have never had that trouble on a phone before in my life! Ever!"
"Uh well grandma how many times have you tried to actually call and set something up or get through a receptionist?" "I am sorry Clarisse I should have gotten the doctor on the phone before I gave it to you."
"Oh its not your fault Charlotte, Well Mia I guess you have your wish. We are getting up and going to the doctor's office. So can you allow your ladies maids to help you get ready, we need to speak with the doctor and since doing that by phone seems to be a bit difficult for that woman to understand. We are going by car"
"Wow is you a little worked up about it or what?"
"Mia I only want the best for you and you know that. It is important that you take this seriously and really take care of yourself."
"Grandma, I know you are worried and you have my best interests at heart and frankly I think it is really cute how you have dropped everything for me. That's why I haven't fought you on anything I know you want me in bed and not working and I understand the importance of it too."
"Oh Mia thank you for not arguing with me. I guess worry too much; Joseph says I am over doing it. And I hate to admit it but he is a little bit right."
"A little bit grandma?"
"Okay a lot, well Mia be careful and get up and let them help you with your getting ready. I'll see you in about an hour dear." Clarisse got up and left the room.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Clarisse got out of the car and waited for Mia to get out of the car, which seemed to take her much longer than usual, as they entered the office several people stood and bowed.
Clarisse walked right up to the desk where a short woman was talking on the phone.
"Yeah I mean she actually claimed to be the Dowager queen and that she was calling for Queen Amelia. I mean come on everyone knows that he visits them personally."
"Ahem." Clarisse cleared her throat. Getting the attention of the secretary. "I believe it as you whom I spoke with over the phone about and hour or so ago. Was it not?"
"Uh…" the girl sat there speechless.
"Oh your majesty, all that was needed was a simple call I didn't need you to come all the way down for a visit. Unless something is wrong?"
"Oh no Dr. Lind everything is perfectly fine. I did attempt to call this morning but there was some confusion and your secretary said that you where not taking personal calls and the proceeded to insult me and cause a lot of stress by mocking me when I gave her my name. But non the less we are here and we are so happy about Mia's news and well you requested we call and so that's why we are here."
"Well I am deeply sorry for the misunderstanding why don't you and Her Majesty come with me to my office and we will discuss what needs to be done."
"Very well come Mia."
There was no hiding it now everyone now knew Mia was pregnant again but with how many or what the gender might be is what everyone did not know. The entire woman in the lobby watched the two Queens walk back with the doctor.
They entered a small office with a desk in the center and tall maple bookcases behind it. The room smelled vaguely of garlic and leather. Along the walls several plaques and pictures had been hung giving it a very warm feel.
"Please have a seat. I don't want you on your feet for more than and hour a day."
"Is that my first restriction?" Mia asked teasingly.
"Well you could call it that if you wanted to but they are more like healthy guidelines to live by for the next four months."
"I know I was just giving you a hard time."
"So I take it that you all know she is having twins both a boy and a girl."
"Yes you should have seen the look on her face when she opened the paper up and read it."
"Oh so how did you go about telling? Did you look at it before?"
"No I found out after she did. I think her words were some where along the lines of Oh my gads Mia twins."
"Oh and your face was worth a few thousand words too. The entire room had fallen silent and Nick went nuts and then well I really don't remember much also because the shock was a little too much for us all."
"Yes
well I would expect so." Dr. Lind remarked with a grin growing upon
his face.
"Now
about what needs to be done. First off Mia your are eating for three
now so what nutrition you take in is very important. Your are to stay
off your feet for all but an hour a day where you can do mild walking
and when I say mild I mean mild like walking to the library in the
palace or a stroll through the garden. You are not to lift more than
five pounds. No excessive workloads or stress please do not over work
yourself with parliamentary issues.
"Okay I can deal with that."
