Now on with the story.
Edward POV
Over a year later:
I still couldn't believe that it had been over a year since everything happened.
We laid our grandmother to rest on the 10th of February 2009. It was an incredibly sad day, honestly it was. The streets of London were absolutely packed with people who wanted to pay their respects to my grandmother, just like when we came home from Australia. It was a very strange day that day too, there were thousands of people crowding the streets, but it was so quiet. It was hard to believe really.
After the ceremony at West Minster Abby, we had all come back to Buckingham Palace and had a drink to celebrate our Grandmother and mothers life, as she did have an incredible one. The only sad thing really was the look on my grandfather's face, you could tell by just looking at him that he was completely and utterly devastated. He loved my grandmother like you wouldn't believe; they were the definition of soul mates. They married when she was twenty-one and he was twenty-six and went on to have four children and eight grandchildren.
It was still strange that she wasn't here anymore. People would come to me and ask me things and I'd be like 'why are you asking me' then I'd realise why and it would get me a little down.
Alice and Jasper got married on August 26th of the same year, they thought about postponing it till the year after but it was a good job they didn't as Alice found out she was pregnant a week before their wedding. Which is a huge no, no in our life style so the wedding had to go on in the end.
Some people thought it was disrespectful towards our grandmother, but I knew she'd have wanted us to carry on with our lives and my grandfather confirmed that when he said it was a great idea and that it's what our grandmother would have wanted.
So it went ahead and it was amazing. I was Jasper's best man and they got married at St. Paul's cathedral. The place was packed to the rafters and so were the streets of London. It was the first major royal wedding since my uncle Alister married his wife Sara. Although they got divorced less than ten years later, but had my cousins Irina and Sasha.
Alice looked amazing in her custom made Emmanuel gown, it was the same designer who designed my mothers dress and according to the papers my mothers wedding dress was the dress back in the 80's, but now almost a year later people still talk about Alice's wedding dress.
My coronation was held in June of that same year although I wanted to wait a year before the coronation, to have respect for MT grandmother people said it would be easier to do it this year.
So that year alone, we had my grandmother's funeral, my coronation, Alice and Jaspers wedding and their baby announcement. It was a busy year for my family that's for sure.
After the wedding, I'd gone on a six month tour of the commonwealth realms. It was truly such an experience. I got to meet such amazing people on that trip. When I got back to London, I went on a tour of the country so that I could reinstate myself as the King Great Britain.
And I did.
*RL*
"Hey Edward it's Jasper, just to let you know, Alice is in labour and her midwife says the baby will be here in the next 2-4 hours. I've already told mum and dad, but seen as you're responsible for what their unknown title is, I thought you should know. Okay see you when you get here, whenever that is, bye."
I put my mobile away quickly and looked around for my personal guard Alister. When he saw me looking around franticly, he rushed over to me.
"Everything okay sir?" He asked looking around suspiciously.
"I've just got a voicemail off Jasper. It's time and I'm not missing the birth if my niece or nephew, so we need to leave." I said looking for Lady Carmen Denali whose charity event I was currently at in Manchester. Seeing her across the room talking to some children I made my way over.
"King Edward!" A little girl said with bright blue eyes and a big toothless smile. I smiled at her and knelt down.
"Hi and what is your name sweetie?" I asked her as she stepped closer to me, as did the other three children.
"Bethany," She whispered now shy after her sudden outburst, "Bethany Wright, my mummy is over there," she said looking over to her mother and pointing. I looked over and waved politely. She smiled and waved back.
"It was lovely to meet you Bethany," I said and stood up, I went to talk to Carmen about the Jasper situation when I felt a tug on my hand. I looked down and Bethany was looking up at me.
"Yes sweetie?" I asked bending down again.
"Can…can we get a picture with you?" She asked shyly. I smiled and nodded.
"Frank," I called out. He looked at me, I waved him over and he quickly came over. Frank Summers is the official Royal Photographer and when you see really good pictures of my family, it's usually Frank who's responsible for them.
"Yes your Majesty?" He asked with a smile.
"Will you take a picture of the children with me, they would like one," I smiled at them and they all smiled widely back.
"Certainly Sir."
We moved around and in the end I stood with Bethany and Blake on my left and Annabelle and Marco on my right. I was kneeled down and had my arms around them smiling. This was one of the things I loved most about my new life. Meeting the most amazing children in the country. Ones who have had to go through so much in their short, but much loved lives.
Frank took several pictures of us together than individually. I stood up thanked them all, and then went to talk to Carmen about me having to leave early so that I could get back to London. The kids parents information was taken so that they would get copies of the photos and then I got to talk to Carmen.
"Something wrong your Majesty?" she asked, when I pulled her away. It was still weird to hear people call me that.
"I'm really sorry, but I have to leave. I already have my security and PA getting me on the next train to London." I looked around to make sure we weren't overheard.
"Everything okay?" She asked worried.
"Alice is in labour and I have to get to London. Jasper asked me three months ago to be there when it happened and I can't go back on a promise. She is little early, which is why I agreed to this and Carmen you have my full support with this charity, especially after meeting them four kids." I smiled in their direction and looked back to Carmen.
"Of course your Majesty. You don't even have to ask and I'm sure everyone will understand when the news breaks…"
"When what news breaks?" I groaned inwardly at the voice and person I'd been trying to keep away from.
"That's none for your business Tanya. It was great to have you here sir and I hope to see you at another event soon," I smiled and nodded. Then looked towards Lady Tanya.
Don't get me wrong Tanya is a beautiful woman, but for some strange reason she seems to think that I'm going to suddenly profess my undying love to her. She doesn't seem to understand that I don't want anything to do with her outside of the events that we're at together. But she seems to think otherwise.
"Lady Tanya," I said stiffly and taking a step back.
"No need to be so formal Edward, theirs nobody listening." Tanya laughed and stepped closer to me.
"It's your majesty, sir or King Edward. Whether it's in public or private. Now if you'll excuse me Carmen, I really have to go," I smiled at her and shook her hand.
"Go? What do you mean go? You've only just got here!" Tanya snapped at me. I raised my eyebrows at her complete lack of respect.
"Watch who you're speaking to Tanya." Carmen snapped at her. Tanya looked at her mother in shock, while I turned and walked away quickly before Tanya could say anything else.
We was quickly on our way as I had a train to catch, and the birth of my niece/nephew not to miss.
*RL*
Taking the train wasn't exactly the best idea, but it was the easiest to get us to London, plus Kings Cross Station was down the road from The Portland hospital where Alice was having the baby.
We'd arrived three hours after Jasper's message and I was starting to think that I'd missed it. I couldn't get a hold of Jasper while I was on the train due to signal issues. But we got back and I was rushed off of the train and into a waiting car. I asked my driver Billy to go the back way so that it wouldn't cause a seen with the press.
"Edward I've just got word, Alice is currently pushing," I looked up at Alister and nodded. Looks like I may meet my niece or nephew when we got there.
Twenty minutes later we finally arrived at The Portland and I rushed out of the door and was lead through a door into the hospital. We got to the third floor and lead towards Alice's room. I entered the private sitting room that had a door connected to Alice's birthing room. There was no screaming so I think it's safe to say that the baby had been born. I walked to the door and knocked, Jasper answered the door.
"Hey, you made it! Come in they've just finished cleaning Alice up and I want you to meet our son." Jasper said with a cheesy smile on his face. I could help the smile that came to my face.
Jasper pulled me into the room where Alice was holding their new born, who was quietly sucking his mother knuckle. I couldn't help the smile that came to my face.
"I must say Alice, motherhood suits you very much," she looked up at me with a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you. Come meet your nephew Edward," She beckoned me over and I gladly walked over to see the baby.
He was gorgeous. He was tiny, but I guess any baby would be. He had dark hair, but had a tuff of blonde at the front that he got from Jasper as Jasper has blonde hair. Over all I'd say he was evenly proportioned between his mother and father.
"He's gorgeous, honestly. But do you have a name for the little guy?" I asked looking up at them, they looked at each other and nodded.
"So it's Prince…?" I left it open for either one o finish.
"Harry Jackson Edward," Alice said I smiled at their kind gesture.
"…of Wales," I finished, making Alice and Jasper chuckle.
Suddenly the door opened.
I turned around and was met by the most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life.
She was petite, with long brunette hair tide up into a ponytail, big brown gorgeous eyes, with long black lashes, rosy red checks, pouty lips, and even in the light pink scrubs I could tell that she had an amazing body. She had to be the most beautiful women I had honestly ever seen. Then she opened her mouth and it made me want her all the more.
"Hi, Alice. How you feeling?"
To say I'm screwed would be an understatement.
