"Uh I cant believe I am due in one month this seems like is has gone by slow. I mean I guess that's because I am on bed rest and not able to do anything but talk short walks in the garden or read in here or the library. I haven't done anything in the way of social dinners even the ones held here or gone to any balls or the opera this year. Grandma this was the first year we did not go see Madame Butterfly since I became a princess even."

"I know Mia yes we broke tradition but you cant go out risking everything. I know I know you were not asking to or suggesting it. Mia what do you think of these colors? For paint I mean."

"You know I never pictured you painting your walls either color I mean blue is a very nice color indeed but pastel blue I mean it is not you nor is the pale pink. Maybe for clothes but I can't see you painting your bedroom walls those colors."

"So you don't like them?"

"I didn't say that I didn't like them I just said that I was not colors I pictured you painting your room with." She emphasized the 'your' "Maybe in a nursery."

"Mia I thought we had this clear you where not going to do a separate nursery until they where older I mean we do have your chair set up also all your necessary items here and I think your idea to keep them here for a while was great but if you would like we could renovate the room to add on a nursery?"

No it's fine until they are older. Well old enough to spend the entire night on their own and I have a feeling that may not be until they are several months old."

"Right you are dear."

"Grandma what have you all been up to lately? You all seem to have been so busy that I hardly see any of you especially nick."

"Well Charlotte and I have been working hard on the Garden Ball next week and your Grandfather has been overly busy with the Children's Museum and Shelters and I believe Nick is just keeping the country running attending the meetings making the appearances and Lily is right at his side making sure it all runs smoothly."

"Oh I should have known that. Well how are things with the Children's Shelter going?"

"Wonderful Joseph picked up where you left off and has aspired with it. I think her found his hobby for retired life. Which I am happy for."

"So how is the Garden Ball coming?"

"It will be a splendid evening. The Gardens have had that little extra touch added to by me and the lights have been set up also the music chosen."

"I wish I was going to be there. It's my favorite ball of the year forget the rest I just want to go to that one."

"No can do Mia you know its to close to your due date to risk anything. Besides there will be more for you to attend."

"I know well are you going to be here the entire day gabbing with me?"

"That was my plan. Why?"

"Uh well I wanted to go for a walk and was wondering to you want to go with me?"

"Yes let me finish this here and we will go."

"You know I am capable of walking on my own."

"Yes Mia but what if something happened? You need to have someone with you as much as possible."

"Grandma. There is a palace full of people working. Inside and out and there are several garden workers too. I am going now join me when you want."

Mia got up off the couch she was resting in and waddled across the room and left. only pausing to receive a kiss on the cheek from Joe and a quick hello and goodbye.

Joseph entered and crossed the room bending down to kiss his wife gently on the lips.

"Hello Dear."

"She didn't seem to happy. Did you to have and argument?" He asked

"No, well yes I suppose so I did not argue back with her though."

"What is upsetting her now?"

"Oh she desperately wants to go to the Garden Ball and I told her she can't risk anything not when she has so little time left until they arrive also she wanted to leave for a walk and all I said to her was that I needed to finish these quickly and then we could go. She huffed and said that she did not need my permission to go and that she was capable of walking on her own. The palace is well staffed and so on. I just did not want to argue with her and stress her out at all so I let her leave."

"Wait you are letting her be by her self for five minutes?" He remarked sarcastically

"Yes, and don't look at me like I am crazy for wanting to be around her all the time."

"Clarisse dear she needs her space too. Just as we need ours at times. Wait now I understand that her condition is far different than anyone's for that matter or ours but she is watched constantly where ever she goes. Shades has made it a game of it with the boys. So please relax and when she needs her space let her have some time to her self."

"You smell like paint."

"I know I have just come from the other room."

"How is it looking? Do you think the colors are going work?" Clarisse asked as she picked up the paint chips she has resting in her lap.

"I like it. A lot. So I think you can stop worrying so much"

"Here is your evening tea Your Majesty."

"Thank you Brigitte"

"Oh and the box arrived this morning."

"Good now Nick will be back around 5 o'clock and will probably leave here at 6:15. So be back in here at 6:30 okay."

"Yes your Majesty. I cant wait this is so exciting I can hardly contain my self."

"Brigitte I am glad you're excited but keep it to yourself because if this gets out before it needs to I know exactly who will be scrubbing dished for a week." Mia said slightly threatening but with a certain amount of play in her tone.

Just as Brigitte was leaving Nick walking into the room. Heading straight for Mia as he pulled off his jacket.

"Hello my pregnant wife and how are my two little ones." He said rubbing Mia's belly as he kissed her.

"They're a kicking. How was your day? Why do you smell like paint?"

"My day was great I had a very long meeting with Motaz this morning and then lunch with the Spanish Prime Minister. Which lead to a several hour discussion on his views about the way French politics annoy him."

"Oh but you didn't answer my question why do you smell like paint?"

"I stopped by your Grandparents room to speak with Joe. Part of their room is being painted. I just came from there. I guess it's a little strong still. How was your day?"

"Good, they have been pretty mild mannered today and haven't kicked my bladder so I haven't had to rush to the bathroom. And well I have finished another book too. I also spoke with my mother. She is flying out on the 13th."

"Good to know. Have you had dinner?"

"Yes dear I did you know you where supposed to join me."

"I know did you not get my message though."

"Yes and the flowers too. But Nick I need you here, I need some company from you. I also want you around more I know you are busy, but dear I feel like you haven't been around that much." Mia began to cry.

"Oh Mia," he said softly as he crossed the room from the closet and pulled her up into a hug. "I am sorry I don't mean to stay away, I wish I could be here to see you grow inch by inch and read with you rub your feet and walk with you, Just be with you. But dear things have to be done."

"I know I am just being selfish I think a pregnant wife deserves to have her wife more than the rest of the country he works for."

"Come lets sit for a moment and I will just hold you okay." He sat them on the couch pulling Mia close to him as they sat in silence he slowly caressed her belly with his free hand.

After sitting like that in silence for what seemed such a short time. Clarisse and Joe entered.

"Nick are you ready? She asked before seeing them on the couch.

"Oh dang what time is it?"

"Uh well you have about 5 minutes till we need to leave so that gives you ten on the count that I am the dowager queen and every one else is simply early when it comes to the queen."

"Great! Mia, sorry dear but I need to run and get ready." Nick exasperated the great.

In no time Nick had dressed himself in the proper Ball attire for his position as king of Genovia quickly but gently placing a kiss on his wife's forehead he patter her belly and told her he would come up as soon as possible.

As soon as they had left Mia got up and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. When she re-entered her bedroom she was greeted by Brigitte and Brigittia who were holding up her dress.

"Oh Your Majesty we are running late let us hurry and dry you off then into the dress."

"Wow ladies no one I mean no one get to see this beached whale out of clothing let me put on my under garments and my dress slip okay."

"sorry Your Majesty, and you don't look like a beached whale you look like a pregnant woman who is ready to give birth."

"Pregnant woman part is correct ready to give birth I don't think so." Mia said from the other side of her dressing screen.

"Oh Your Majesty its not the horrible, yes painfull but it is more than worth every back ache, quick dash to the bathroom and every moment of morning sickness when you have the little one in your arms it will all have been worth it."

"And how might you know that Brigitte?"

"I have one of my own. He is 8"

"Wow I think I knew you had a child but remember I am pregnant and you really do lose a bit of it when you are pregnant I mean all the hormones its a lot to deal with. But to be having two I mean it adds a lot."

"You're having two?" Brigittia asked.

"yes didn't you both know?"

"No."

"Oh well yes two a boy and a girl, But that is a secret to the public the only people who are to know are the close workers here at the palace and the family of course. So you are sworn to secrecy."

"Yes Ma'am" they chorused.

"Okay now lets get me ready."

Mia stepped into the black dress that held her bulging breast due to pregnancy she had grown to have these amazing breasts, which she loved. Feeling like she was truly supposed to have them.

The dress had an umpire waist, it was beaded across the chest and the neck line low with capped sleeves that where merely a decoration to the dress they draped across her mid upper arm and the rest of the dress was a knife pleated chiffon that fell over a black satin that matched the bust of the dress.

Sitting her down the two ladies maids set to work at pinning and curling her hair while she applied her make-up finally the two ran back into her closet bringing back a beautiful diamond necklace that would show off her neckline along with whit gloves, shoes and her tiara.

Placing the last pin in place her Tiara was tightly pinned to her hair and the jewelry all matched her studded earings matched her necklace that also matched her bracelet. Brigitte pulled out a pair of black flat ballet shoes that had a slight heel to give just a kick.

"Here I thought you might like these since high heels would not be the most comfortable to wear tonight."

"They are perfect thank you."

Mia stood and moved into the closet to examine her self in the full wall mirror. Turning around a few times she smiled.

"This is the best it gets at 8 months pregnant, Thank you so much ladies."

"Your Majesty you look absolutely stunning for being 8 months along with twins."

"Right well lets head to the door its nearly 7:30 they will be dancing by now so perfect late entrance."

"Oh but your Majesty I thought a queen was never late?" Brigitte asked sarcastically

"Only when she means to. Is the rest of my grandmothers line." They all laughed as they approached the double doors to the ballroom.

Mia smoothed out imaginary wrinkles and straightened her posture "Okay I am ready let them know that I am here."

"Your Grandmother does that you know?"

"What."

"She pretends to straighten her self up, pulling up her walls as you all have called it. She does it just before she jumps into anything."

"Well I hardly think she jumps into anything but her walls are her security and we have brought most of them down over time but she still has to pull them up for some of the public."

"Yes."

There the double doors opening interrupted conversation. Mia heard that the music had stopped and that her name was being announced.

"Her Royal Majesty Queen Amelia Thermopolis Renaldi Deveraux."

Taking in a deep breath she entered the room to see everyone looking at her smiling all but a couple who where in the middle of the dance floor frozen in their dance move and another her husband standing next to the Prime Minister.

Mia maid her way down the stairs smiling and giving a curt nod to those who smiled at her.

"Thank you all for coming. Sorry for the late appearance." Mia beamed and the music began again.

Clarisse, Joe and Nick hastened up to Mia who was standing on the bottom step speaking with a few women.

"Mia you look gorgeous, Absolutely glowing." Nick was happy to see her.

"Mia please tell me what excuse me what the hell you are doing here or at least thinking." Clarisse whispered sounding more nervous than angry.

"Well I did not get out today and I thought that this could be my bit of exercise for the day and beside it want to come and nothing has gone wrong so I think I am pretty much safe for one night."

"Clarisse come on she is right, besides there is a room full of 400 people in the room watching her every move and that doesn't count us three."

"Okay. Okay lay off I know I am just worried."

"Gads this new emotion has really taken over you hasn't it grandma."

"Oh Mia I can assure you I have worried before."

"Just not this bad." Joe said teasingly.

"May I have the honor of this dance my lady?" Nick asked

"Why Prince Charming I never thought you'd ask."

Nick swept Mia onto the floor shortly followed by Clarisse and Joe.

Slowly the couples moved thought the dance flawlessly soon the music changed and the 'wango' came on. The guests slowly moved out to watch the two Royal couple dance the oh so passionate dance that had been done many a times in public but every time it was done by the royal couples the dance seemed to become more meaningful like it had meant so much more than just a Spanish dance that meant love. It was more than a deep love to this dance when these two couples danced it.

"I am going to change things a bit Clarisse just follow my lead you will know what to do when it do it." Joseph whispered into her ear.

"Okay."

Joseph moved Clarisse out the opposite direction he would have usually spinning her into Nicks arms and Mia into his own. The move was a surprise to all rewarded with applause.

"Mia are you alright I noticed your where a bit tense?"

"yes Grandpa I am fine I am actually having a wonderful time."

"Good but should you go into labor tonight your grandmother would have a conniptions fit you know that don't you?'

"Uh yes I do. I am not in labor I promise okay and if I was I would defiantly let all of you know."

"Good."

"she looks so beautiful."

"I know Nick but she looks so tense."

"Your being up tight relax I mean look not every 8 month pregnant woman can dance like that."

Mia was spinning into Joseph as her dress danced about the floor.

"Now I am going to get my wife back from your husband."

Nick moved the opposite direction as Joseph had done before returning his wife to his arms.

"Mia are you alright your grandmother pointed out that you looked a bit tense? Your not in labor are you?"

"No Nick" she said smiling at him "you would know if I was. My feet are just a bit tired."

"Oh would you like to sit down?"

"yes."

The dance ended and they moved to the royal table where dinner had been set before her arrivel.

Once again the guests had moved on to another dance. And soon the night had ended. The two royal couples standing at the doors of the entrance hall saying their last goodbyes.

The doors hade finally been closed and Mia gave a sigh bending down pulling off her shoes

"I have been waiting to do this all evening." She said sounding relived. Letting the cool tiled floor sooth her feet. Letting out sigh of relief. The others just laughed at her.

"Serves you right dear you where the one who came down and danced. But you looked beautiful dear."

"Thanks grandma. Mia said as she bent down again to pick up her shoes and there it happened.

"Oooh!" she said nervously standing back up and placing a hand on her belly.

"WHAT?" all three chorused moving in front of her. All looking more panicked than anyone could ever.

"Geese calm down someone just kicked my bladder. I need to go use the rest room now. Nick hold these? I be right back." She handed her shoe's to Nick and waddled off to the bathroom just off the entrance hall,

Mia entered the bathroom and placed a hand on her belly 'oh no you cant come tonight not now when I am having so much fun. Come on at least you two can give me till the morning can't you?' Mia actually did have to go to the bathroom as she sat down her water broke 'uh you guys I am not going until the morning now just be patient.'

After a few minute Mia returned to where she had left the rest of the family.

"Okay I am back now Nick be a dearest and take your very pregnant and very tired wife off to bed"

"Oh I would love to hold you in my arms too"

"Good night Grandma, Grandpa." Mia said smiling.

"Night Mia see you in the morning."

"Check the clock its already 2:30 in the morning."

"Mia, I'll see you later this morning." Clarisse said laughing at her.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

The next morning Mia woke to find that her contractions where slowly getting closer and she knew soon she would have to go. Turning over she saw it was only 8 o'clock and Nick was already gone off to work.

Getting out of bed she decided to go see Clarisse surely she would be in bed still.

Upon entering the sitting room Mia found Joseph finishing his cup of coffee and slipping his shoes on.

"Morning I did not expect to see you up this early."

"Morning Grandpa is she awake?"

"No I don't think so she was still asleep when I moved in here."

"Okay well I am still going in there she has woken me up early many a times and this is a little pay back."

Mia entered the darkened room and slipped under the covers looking at Clarisse backside.

She stirred a little big and turned over "Joseph what are you doing getting in and out of bed?" she sounded a bit angry but reaching over to where his stomach would be her hand found it was not his lean shapely stomach she had come in contact with it was very large and round. Her eyes shot open. Retracting her hand quickly too.

"Oh Mia."

"Morning sleepy head."

"Your up early for being up so late?"

"Yes well when you have to go to the bathroom you gotta go and that means getting up so once I am up, I usually don't get back to sleep."

"Are they still kicking?"

"Yes here feel." Mia picked up her hand a placed it on her belly again just as she had another contraction. 'Oh she had to have felt that, if that doesn't give it away I'll have to tell her soon.'

'My she is really tense, probably too much from last night I knew she shouldn't have done that or stayed the whole time.'

"Mia come with me I have something to show you." Clarisse said as she got out of bed, whipping away a few stray tears. She and Mia walked into the Sitting room and then out into the hall and to the doors opposite Clarisse's

"Close your eye's and hold out your hands." She said softly. As she opened the doors taking Mia by the hands and leading her in through the rooms. Finally placing her in the center.

Clarisse went to the curtains and pulled them open and Mia felt the light flood in against her eyelids." Okay open them."

Mia opened her eyes to see a nursery set before her. "Oh grandma its wonderful this is my fathers rooms isn't it?"

"yes Mia I lead your right across the hall I thought it would be easy for us to help if you where closer and also I think you and Nick need a larger suite now. Besides it has been years and now these rooms need to be opened again and I need to let go and truly and finally move on."

Clarisse watched Mia walk about the room rubbing her belly as she looked at all of the things set up. "Grandma what does a contraction feel like?" she asked as she sat down in one of the rocking chairs. And propping up her feet.

"Oh well Mia it can be very painful you muscles tense up. Why?"

"Well I was just wanting to know so when I had one I would know what to expect."

'wait she read all those books she knows full well what one feels like or is supposed to feel like! Oh wait she as tense this morning oh is she hinting to something. No she is isn't she.

"Mia your in labor aren't you?"

"Geese it took you long enough I thought for sure you would have known when you felt my contraction earlier in you room."

"For how long have you been in labor?"

"Since 2:30 this morning."

"Mia that's when you… Oh and why did you not say anything then?"

"because look how you are reacting now and how you have been plus I wanted to spend the evening with my husband and sleep in my very own bed."

"Mia how far apart are your contractions?"

"Ohh well this is another one. And the last one was in your room so about fifteen minute ago. That one kinda hurt worse."

"Come on I am going to call Nick we are leaving now for the hospital."

"Oh come on I like being home for the moment relax we will go in a minute plus they aren't that bad yet."

"what aren't that bad?" Nick asked as he walked in

"Nick your wife is in labor."

"What Mia you are. It's too soon you still have three weeks."

"Oh I hadn't thought about that Mia now we really need to go."

"Okay, Okay Nick help me out of this chair."

Soon they where checking in and Mia rolled off to a privet room to prep for her epidural. Nick and Clarisse filled out some to the paper work needed and then headed off for her room.

Finally Mia was told to push down as she felt her next contraction.

"Okay good one push once more bear down a little bit and we will have your first one here."

"Come on you can do it Mia that's it." Clarisse encouraged her

"Good, Good we have a little girl." Mia collapsed into Nick's arms breathing heavily.

"I don't think I can do that again."

"Oh well we don't have a choice dear your next one is ready. Now push just like before it shouldn't to much harder with the second."

Pulling in another deep breath she pushed "Nick I cant do this! I am to tired to…"

"Mia come on dear you have to push your almost there." The doctor chided her on.

Pulling in once more she pushed letting out the breath she had been holding she could feel the pressure build up again this time it was worse.

"Oh gad what is wrong?" she asked

"Come on Mia push NOW." The doctor said

"I… uh."

"Mia come on dear." Clarisse ordered her.

"Give it another push and you will have your little boy here."

Pulling in once again Mia gave it her all.

"Good ah ha and here is your little boy. Quick Jenny the cord is around his neck." The doctor quickly working with the nurses they rushed him into a warmer working quickly to try and the young prince to breath.

Mean while Mia had collapsed back into nick. Quickly losing consciousness.

"Oh dear god what is happening, Mia… Mia" Clarisse screamed panicking her granddaughter passing out in Nick's arms and watching her great grandson being worked on he wasn't breathing.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

When she finally woke she place a hand on her belly feeling rather empty inside she sat up quickly "Nick" she said panicking.

"Mia we're right here." He said walking over with Clarisse and the tow babies in their arms.

"Oh… Oh gad that scared me I had a horrible dream our little boy wasn't breathing when he was born. Owe that hurt to sit up like that." She said quickly laying back down.

"That was no dream Mia he wasn't breathing and then you passed out. You have been out for several hours."

"Is he okay is he…."

"No Mia he is right her in daddies arms." He said passing the baby boy to Mia.

Clarisse handed Mia he little girl too.

"My precious little ones. You're here." Mia said crying.

"I'll be outside you two need some time alone." Clarisse said smiling as she closed the door behind her.

"So dear what should we name them?"
