Sorry I haven't updated in a VERY long time… I've been busy, but I'm going to at least attempt to finish this story, ASAP, before I lose every reader I could have ever had! Love you guys – Katie

Belle waved to her departing father as she held the hand, very tightly of course of her beloved husband. She was very sad to see him leave, but she knew that he could only stay a few weeks. He would be back, that's for sure whenever his little grandbaby was born. Belle strained to see her father as he got further and further away from her castle, her home. Whenever he little eyes could no longer see him, she turned around, and Christophe, the every loving husband followed her back.

"Honey?" Belle asked, "What would you think of a little trip, I mean before we can no longer travel?"

"Where to love?"

"Well you know I've always wanted adventure in the great wide somewhere… what about a trip, about two months long, where we travel though the French countryside and visit many of your subjects as well as enjoying some final time together before we have another to care fore?" Belle was talking so fast that Christophe could hardly keep up!

"Love, I think I could arrange for this," he glanced at Belle's emerging smile, "Yes, I think we could. There are plenty of people whom I would love to entertain!"

"Oh Chris! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can we leave soon?"

Christophe could only laugh at her over eagerness. Oh how her eyes sparked when Belle was on to something! He so enjoyed her… she was well amazing. "Yes my Belle, is a week soon enough for you to prepare?"

"Oh yes!" She laughed, "I could be ready in a day if you wanted me to!"

"No Belle, a simple week will do. I do however need to contact someone, I can't have you sleeping outside!"

"Okay, okay, you win as always… I love that effect you DO have on me, however, about now, I'm not sure I want to have your child… you ARE making me wait an awful long time."

"Oh my Belle, a week will not hurt you. You'll be waiting even longer for our child… I mean our son."

"Now my dear, this is your problem. You know as I do it will be a little girl."

"No, I don't think so."

"Yeah… MY little Catherine Elisabeth Clare.

"No, honey, MY Christophe Jonathan Clare."

"Ha, Christophe Jonathan? That doesn't even go together! How can our child be named that? Plus I don't want another Christophe running around, I want only you."

"Well you better get over that, and fast, you only have six and a half months, because then we'll have to officially name our son, and heir of the kingdom."

"That's right, our daughter Cat will have to rule the entire kingdom as Queen, because she is the first born.

"What type of name is Cat?"

"Well who in the world is even named Christophe?"

"Me."

"Yeah and that's why I married you. Okay we'll compromise, we can name our second born, the son that we'll have years from now Jonathan Christophe Clare. Is that fitting to you dear?"

"Can't it be after me?"

"Nah, I don't like you that much," And with that, Belle let go of his hand and dashed inside the castle.

"Hey, where do you think you're going with my son?" Christophe leapt after his wife, and catching her gracefully, he dipped her low to kiss her.

"Let me go! I don't like you that much!" She laughed as she kissed him again.

Over the next week they prepared for their trip, and as they finally departed from the castle they called home, Belle thought of how great it was going to be to raise their child there, no matter who it was, Jonathan or Catherine. Yes, her thirdmonth had been exciting indeed.
