Another chapter. Please review. I had to get it out. Enjoy…

30th October, 12 p.m, The Loft.

Tina just called. She wanted me to go to shopping with her, Shameeka, Ling Su and Lilly.I, she said, would need new clothes, for my honeymoon and everything. I agreed immediately. I was starting feel a little edgy as the day progressed. In two day's time, I would be Mrs. Moscovitz.

30th October, 3.30 p.m, On the Way back to Loft

Ah, I enjoyed that. Tina and Shameeka made me try lots of , shorts, skirts, tops, sweaters.

Then we decided to eat lunch. That is how we ended up in Number One Noodle Son. We caught up with every ones lives. You know we were busy with our college and stuff that we hardly talked to each other. With Lilly in Harvard, me in Columbia, Tina in NYU, Shameeka in Sarah Lawrence, and Ling Su in Princeton, we were busy with assignments and exams. I couldn't believe I am going to miss this after two days, because I am getting married, and married woman have to behave with dignity, not laugh too loudly in a restaurant and make those sitting near us shoot us dirty looks, like those we are getting right now.

I am feeling calm right now. Very calm.

30th October, 5 p.m, The Central Park.

Okay, I lied. I was not feeling calm.

Far from it.

Actually, I was freaking out real bad. I had all these questions in my mind, like whether I would be a good wife and all. I needed to talk to someone about it. Certainly not mom. Even though she's my mom and I love her and all, she isn't sensitive. I mean, she laughs all through Dirty Dancing. Lilly's mom would psychoanalyze me. And I won't ask Grandmere.

So that's why I am sitting here at the park right now. It always clears my mind, when I am upset.

A woman just sat beside me. She's blond. Not like mine. Pure silvery blond, like that strange girl who always speaks about Wrackspurts, whatever that is, in Harry Potter.

30th October, 7.30 p.m, Michael's apartment

I am so happy that I went to the park. It cleared my mind. More than anything found someone with whom I was able to finally share my feelings.

Okay this is what happened.

The blond woman who was sitting beside me at The Central Park kept staring at , that isn't new, is it?

She looked about 6 months pregnant.

Then as if she couldn't stop herself, she asked me,

"Forgive me if I am mistaken, but are you Mia Renaldo, Princess of Genovia?"

Oh great. Just great.

"Um, you are..?"

"Oh, I am Bella Parker. So I heard that you re getting married in two days time?"

"Yeah."I didn't know where this conversation was leading us to. But I almost instantly liked this woman, with a kind smile.

" are you excited? You must be."

"Yeah."Something told me to share my feelings with this nice woman. It is not like she's going to spill to the New York Post, which will release and article tomorrow, 'The Horrifying Doubts of Princess Amelia.'

"It is going to be great Mia, I mean Your Highness."

"Oh no, please call me Mia."

She grinned at me, a mischievous grin.

"So will you tell me about your fiancée? I have heard you knew each other since high school."

"Well actually, since kindergarten."

"Wow that is a really long time."

I smiled at her. She must have known something was going through my mind, because she suddenly asked.

"Are you okay? Is something bothering you?"

I took a deep breath and looked at her baby blue eyes.

"Bella, if I told you something, can you promise me to keep it a secret?"

She nodded and crossed her chest with her finger.

"Well, actually, I am scared. I mean, I have seen couples fight before. It is bad. I don't want our relationship to go down after we get married and all that but…"

"Whoa, Mia."Bella said, holding up her hands. "You have got to slow down."

She took a deep breath before saying.

"See that man over there, with the kid?" she said,pointing to handsome man with brown hair,and a cute boy,who looked about 6,with blond hair.I nodded my head."Well, that's my husband, Jack, and our son have been married for 7 years now and we don't have any problems till now, thank god. We have a kid and another on the way."

I smiled at her.

"Tell you what; I had this same kind of doubts when I got married. What if I am not able to handle the responsibility, a family, kids and all that stuff? Then my mother comforted me."

She looked at Jack, who was playing with Max, with a loving look on her face.

"Mia, no one is perfect. Every couple has their own faults. Both of them have to understand each other and talk to each other about their feelings. It was what I did when I doubted myself before wedding. I talked to Jack. And he comforted me, promised me he would be with me, no matter what. I am sure Michael would be just as understanding as jack was. Just talk to him, okay?"
"But what if I did something wrong? What if I don't get enough time to be with family? Believe me, being a princess is not as easy as you think. And after marriage, taking care of a country and a family might be a little difficult."

"Mia."Bella said, patiently."I don't know anything about running a country, but I sure know a thing or two about running a family. I have a job, a 6 year old kid and a husband to take care of, not to mention myself and the new baby. And things may seem difficult and bad at the beginning, but as you get used to it, it will be fun. I remember once when Max was three and he was in the bathroom and the bath tub was filled and all. I was in the room. He fell into the bath tub."

My jaws dropped open. She smiled grimly before continuing.

"Thank god, I heard him cry. So you see Mia, mistakes happen. But just to be assured, talk with Michael. It would do you good."

I hugged her real , as hard as you could hug a 6 month pregnant woman. As I pulled back, I asked her.

"Do you know what kid you are having?"

"Yeah."She said, smiling, a maternal kind of smiling, "It's a girl. We are going to name her

Olivia."

"Oh, that's a wonderful name. Good luck. Hope we meet again soon, Bella."

I waved at her as I walked to the limo. I had to come here. I needed to talk to Michael.

Uh, comes Michael."

31st October, 12.30, Michael's apartment.

Okay, I had the talk with him. He said what Jack said.

When he walked in, I hugged him and said.

"Michael, we need to talk."

He shrugged and sat down beside me on the couch.

I took a deep breath and said.

"Michael, we are going to get married. I keep thinking about it and the more panicked I get."

Michael looked confused. So I continued.

"I mean, when you get married, everything changes. You are starting a new family. And what if I am incapable of handling all that, Michael? What if I am not able to take care of my family? For someone like, who has a country to run; it would be difficult as hell. But having a family is a big if I fail."

Michael must have sensed the urgency in my voice because he wrapped his hands around me and said.

"Look Mia, know what you can do and respect you for that. I want to make you happy. Whatever happens, we are going to deal with this together, okay."

"What if I mess up, you know, when we have kids? I have to take care of them, but what if I am not able to."

"When we have kids Mia."Said Michael, holding my hands. "I know you are going to do a wonderful job with them. You are going to be a great mother. And I assure you, I will be always with you."

HE bent down and kissed me on the lips.

Let me tell you, Michael Moscovitz is the bestest fiancée in the whole world!

Another chapter done. Don't worry. The wedding is round the corner. But you will have to wait for one more chapter for that. Please review.
