D: I don't any of these characters just this plot line ;o)

The past three months had gone rather well for Mia; she was growing at a healthy rate and staying off her feet. This gave Clarisse and Helen such a relief to know that Mia was actually listening,

However this doesn't mean Mia was happy about it. Although she had done as asked and been patient with her smothering Grandmother. Mia was becoming a bit impatient with the way things where going. Nicholas seemed to be gone all the time and would sometimes not even come home until very late.

"Grandma I appreciate you wanting to walk with me. But I need some space at the moment. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment and just need a few moments to myself, clear my head sorta thing."

"Mia I know you would like to be on your own but you know very well you can't. I will walk a few paces behind you if you like though." Mia did not argue the fact that she knew her grandmother was correct she was told not to be alone especially this far along any number of things could go wrong with twins this far along. Quietly Clarisse waited for Mia to take a few steps ahead of her then began her own slow walk adoring her well-manicured gardens.

"Grandma." It was only a few minutes after Mia had been walking she turned and faced Clarisse.

"Yes Mia."

"Well I was wondering, if I am having two at the same time, what do we do about who has the throne first? I mean Pierre had it before my father because he was born first but also my dad was born 3 years after uncle Pierre."

"Well Mia it is far and few that you end up with twins in royalty but it will be the first born that will have the throne."

"But that almost doesn't seem fair to the other child I mean they could be only seconds apart."

"Not true dear by the time the second one is born it will be minutes but still close and yes it may seem hard for them to understand at first but I am sure they will. And when their time comes they will know what their duty themselves, their family and their country means to them and it will all work out as it has for us."

"Sorry I have jus been wondering about that and well it has sort of been bothering me really."

"Is that all that is bothering you? It seems like something that insignificant cant be the only thing bothering you."

"Well seeing as how I haven't done much in the way of diplomatic matters since I was three months pregnant my life has very little to worry about… I take that back actually I am very nervous about being a mom. I mean what if I screw up horribly and my children turn out awful and act like spoiled children who are mean to people in school. I really don't know how I am going to do this."

Clarisse let out soft giggles then stopped Mia and pulled her into a hug. Finally pulling away she looked into her granddaughters deep brown eyes that truly where filled with nervousness and panic.

"Oh Mia it is only right for you to be so worried about what kind of mother you are going to be. If you weren't worried that's when you should worry. You love those babies so much now and you have yet to see them. Trust me when I say I know you will be a good mother, because darling you have everything you need to be a great mother. Love. Love for all of those around you and look even 9 years ago when I met you for the first time you showed me love and look what you have helped me become a loving wife. And grandmother also a better mother too. Dear don't stress yourself too much over this I will be here to help you also Nick he loves you and those children too. Mia you will do wonderfully just have a little faith in yourself."

"I love you grandma."

"I love you too Mia Now lets head back inside I have a few things to get done today you have been on your feet for long enough I think."

How is the Spring Ball coming?"

"Oh that's not for another 4 or 5 weeks but what has been planned out now is wonderful."

"I wish I was able to come."

"Well there will be others and besides it would not be wise to come you could dance much or be on your feet for very long dear it would be so boring for you."

"Yes but the social aspect would also be nice I mean I haven't done much lately well except for a few Meet and Greats lately and well I haven't even been to any dinners held here in the palace for that matter I mean not that I am complaining that all I get to see is you, Nick and Grandpa well and the rest but I would like to visit with people. I am beginning to feel like my friends are my books and that they only say selective things to me when I read them, Its really quite boring and has gotten to the point where I almost just can stand it anymore."

"Well Mia the next two months will seem to fly by so quickly and soon the two beautiful grandbabies I will be looking forward to holding them and spoiling them."

"Yeah May isn't that far off. Wow and this June you and Grandpa will be married 4 years. Its hard to imagine that it has been that long already"

"Yes dear and you and Nick just made 3 years this December."

They reached the privet entrance as continued on to the library.

"Well Mia you are going to stay here or in your room right?"

"Yes I will make sure I have let everyone know where I am incase I go into early labor or something other happens."

"Mia that's not funny doesn't even joke about that."

"Talk to you at dinner Grandma."

"Will Nick be down to dinner tonight?"

"Uh well when I spoke to him he said that he would be there so I believe he will be."

"Good."

"Why?"

"Later dear I really have to be off I have a few things to do."

"Fine don't tell me what you are all up to. You know I will find out sooner than later."

"Good afternoon Mia relax and mind your business you will now later not now thought."

Clarisse called back to Mia as she walked down the hall.

Mia weeks seemed to drone on along the lines of getting up around 9 am seeing Nick for breakfast and then laying down on the couch for most of the day then moving into the library then off to the gazebo in the garden after lunch with Clarisse and finally back in the room before dinner. Most of the day spent reading books or signing papers that where carried around for her along with her books since her ladies maids had refused to allow her to carry anything even a book tat did not even weigh a pound. Which she knew had to do with Clarisse ordering them to watch her like a hawk when she could not. And believe me every spare moment which there seemed to be a lot of those for her now days she spent with Mia hovering over her.

Although the time with Her Grandmother was appreciated she was beginning to feel a bit suffocated.
