A/N Sorry for the delay, it didn't seem as if people were really interested in the story, so that is why I haven't updated. Yet, I have a policy of never leaving story half done. I hate when authors do that. Thanks to all of you who take the time and review, it means a lot to me.

healer- Although that is a brilliant idea, I need King Jack Ass a little while longer.

dramageek818- thanks for reviewing and reading my story since the get go. The guards are very pro Carter/Rosie hahah

makurutenoh- Keep reading to get the answer to your question :D

LEATHERnGOLD- Yeah, it doesn't show up because of the rating, yet I can't change it because there are a few sexual scenes. I kinda feel bad for Taylor too, she will always be a third wheel or a fourth wheel in this case.

SeverusDmitri18- There are twelve chapters and depending on how many reviews I get for the next few chapters, I have a bonus chapter. The story works with our without it, so its up to you.

tatimac- All I can say is keep reading to answer your question.

Two Weeks Later

Grand Prairie, Texas

Carter drove towards her ranch, Royal Acres, with a pounding headache. She turned to look at the beautiful queen sitting next to her and couldn't help smiling. Yet, she knew that as soon as they got home there would be problems. Rosie didn't know about Carter's fiancé, Taylor and Taylor didn't know that Rosie was alive. Carter only told Taylor that she was coming home and to put a crib in the room next to theirs for Princess Bella. Carter wanted to decorate it herself when she came home. When Carter declared that both Rosie and Bella were going to live with her, Rosie assumed that she meant as her girlfriend since she didn't know of Taylor's existence.

Carter was enraged when she found out that Rosie was expected to stay with King Alfonso, since he had done nothing against the law. Even if Rosie and she were no longer together, Carter could not stand the idea of leaving her best friend and former lover with that monster. No one objected to Rosie leaving with Carter, since they did not want her near King Alfonso. King Alfonso was thrilled that he could now rule Las Costas by himself.

Flashback:

"Pal, you can't take Rosie to Texas without telling her about Taylor. She thinks that you two are back together. Don't you see how she clings to you? If I may remind you, Rosie is still in love with you. You cannot have your ex-girlfriend, who you still have feelings for, and your fiancé under the same roof. It's a recipe for disaster," said Major Mason when Carter told him of her plans.

Dad, I am not leaving my best friend and my daughter with that animal. If the Laws of Las Costas won't protect Rosie, I will. I will explain to her that I love Taylor and that she and I can't be anything more than friends. I want to help raise Bella. She's my daughter too," explained Carter.

Carter parked her green Trailblazer in front of her house and looked over at Rosie with a smile. "Welcome to Royal Acres. Wait here. Let me take Bella inside and then I will come help you," said Carter since Rosie was still badly bruised and using a wheelchair to move around.

Rosie smiled at Carter and nodded while she leaned back to rest.

Carter walked in the house with Bella in her arms and was immediately greeted by Taylor.

"O my God Car! She is so precious!" exclaimed Taylor as she took Bella from Carter and pecked Carter's lips.

"Want mommy to show you your new room angel?" asked Taylor as she walked upstairs with the baby.

"Imma go outside and grab the luggage," Carter called out. She was mentally beating herself up for not telling Taylor that Rosie was alive. Taylor still thought that she and Carter would be raising Bella. Rosie would not like that at all. Carter took a deep breath and took Rosie in her arms to help her into the downstairs guest bedroom. She carefully laid her on the bed and kissed her forehead.

Rosie leaned on the pillows and looked around the room with confusion as she noticed that it did not show any signs of anyone living there. "Carter, is this not your bedroom?" she questioned.

Carter rubbed the back of her neck. "Um, no Rosie. My room is upstairs, but it would be easier for you to get around in your wheelchair from down here. Why don't you get some rest while I get the luggage," suggested Carter.

Rosie nodded still assuming that Carter would be moving downstairs with her temporarily. "I am tired. Take care of our daughter," said Rosie with a smile as she closed her eyes.

Carter closed the door and shut her eyes taking a deep breath before heading out for the rest of the luggage. She took them all and placed them outside of Rosie's room, not wanting to wake her.

"That is a lot of luggage for one baby, but why are you putting them there and not in the nursery?" question Taylor as she came down the stairs.

Carter rubbed the back of her neck as she looked at Taylor. "Goldie, we need to talk. Let's go to our room," said Carter grabbing Taylor's hand and leading her back upstairs.

"What's wrong Car?" asked Taylor as she sat on the bed.

Carter took a deep breath and looked at her fiancé. "Rosie didn't die. I brought both her and Bella home with me," said Carter.

Taylor stood up from the bed and headed to the closet. "I'll pack my bags," she whispered.

Carter rushed forward and turned Taylor around. "What? Why?" she asked her eyebrows burrowed in confusion.

"You and Rosie are obviously back together and want to form a family with your daughter. I won't stand in the way. I know you love her," said Taylor as tears rolled down her face.

Carter reached up with a smile and wiped Taylor's tears. "Goldie, Rosie is my best friend, nothing more. I love you. I want to marry you," said Carter leaning in to capture Taylor lips in a kiss before leading her over to the bed and holding her close.

"Goldie, in Las Costas, domestic violence is not a crime. Rosie was expected to continue living with that bastard. I could not leave my best friend and my daughter there. I will help Rosie raise Bella, but she and I won't be anything more than best friends," explained Carter.

"And Rosie agreed to this?" questioned Taylor.

"Um, Rosie doesn't know about you yet," confessed Carter. "But I'll fix that right now. Come on Goldie," said Carter pulling Taylor back downstairs. "Wait here," she said pecking Taylor's lips before opening the door to Rosie's room.
