...Continued.

After a moment Clarisse started pressing the call button, to let them know they were stuck. Then moved, brushing her hands down the back of her skirt and sat down on the floor, stretching her legs out in front of her and crossed her ankles, sitting back against the wall with her arms folded.

"How can you be so calm at a time like this?" Elizabeth exclaimed while pressing the call button.

"Because this has happened a number of times to me, I am kind of used to it." she said watching her "There is no point pressing that, they will have the call already and there isn't anything they can do until the fire crew arrive." she said looking down at her shoes.

After a few minutes Elizabeth sat down the other side of the lift as Clarisse watched her, then looked down sitting silence.

After an hour Joseph came out, wondering where Clarisse had got to. He headed down the corridor and stood at the nurses station looking around.

"Mr Romano?" the nurse smiled as he turned around "Can I help you?"

"Maybe," he said looking around the room then back at her "Have you seen the Queen?" he whispered.

"No." she smiled while shaking her head "Sorry,"

"Hmm." he said looking around the waiting room again then back at her "She's been gone an hour, I thought she would of been back by now." he sighed "She only went out to make a call." suddenly he started to panic.

"Oh," the nurse exclaimed while looking at him "We had a call from the lift about an hour ago," she started while looking past him at the blocked of lift then back at him "Maybe she's stuck on the lift?"

"Again?" He sighed while looking at her "She's always getting stuck on those things," he sighed again "Is there anyway we could find out?" he asked.

"I can find out for you?" she asked as he nodded "Ok, give me two minute's." she nodded and headed back into the office.

He waited at the desk when she returned a couple minutes later.

"She's on the lift, the porter said she's ok and to just focus on your Son," she smiled "Elizabeth said the same?" she jumped as he shot around to look at her.

"Elizabeth?" he asked in surprise.

"Yeah, she's stuck in the lift with Elizabeth," she nodded.

"Anyone else?" he asked as she shook her head "Oh dear," he whispered.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"Maybe, I'm not sure." he shrugged and started pacing the waiting room.

After another hour, Joseph was stood at the doors as they opened to see both Clarisse and Elizabeth smiling at him, he looked confused as Clarisse stepped forward and kissed his cheek, before turning to Elizabeth.

"Thanks for the chat," she smiled "What room is Andrew in?" she asked looking at Joseph.

"314." he said and watched her walk of then looked back at Clarisse "Am I missing something?"

"No," she smiled and started walking down the corridor and sat in the chairs opposite the door to Andrew's room, seconds later Joseph was sat next to her.

"But, you hated each other? you were stuck in a lift with her for over 2 hours I expected one of you to be dead by now?" he exclaimed as she smiled at him "Ok, I am missing something."

She chuckled "Oh, your not." she patted his thigh "While we were in the lift together, not what I really wanted but well it couldn't be helped," she said looking at him "Locked together it gave us time to actually talk." she nodded while sitting back in her chair, resting her arms on the arm rests and looked at him "And at the end of the day Joseph I forgave you and Married you again, so it was only fair I forgave her also."

He watched her a second as a nurse walked past, then shrugged "I suppose your right." he said sitting back.

"Of course I'm right, I'm always right." she smirked at him as he looked at her "Relax, honestly we talked and everything's ok, well not fully ok but it's ok between us," she smiled.

"Ok," he nodded and sat back as she lent forward "I got really worried about you," he started while resting his arm over and gently rubbed her back, she smiled back at him then sat back in her chair again.

A while later Elizabeth came out to go and get some coffee with Clarisse while Joseph went in to see Andrew.

"Hey Dad," he smiled as Joseph walked over.

"Hey Son," he smiled standing next to him "How you doing?"

"Well I'm stuck here, not that great." he laughed a little and looked at him "I was wondering if after you come back from your holiday, could I come stay at the Palace a while?"

"Oh I don't know Andrew?" Joseph said looking at him "Wouldn't it be better to stay at your Moms?" he asked.

"I just thought, she hasn't got much room at her place and.." he stopped "Never mind, it doesn't matter." he said looking down.

"Andrew listen to me, yes granted we have a lot of room at the Palace, but you would have to stay downstairs for a while, we don't have a lift you know?" he said looking at him "And we don't have any rooms downstairs that we could turn into a spare bedroom, not with the amount of people that come and go everyday there," he added "Where as your Mom has that room downstairs that could easily be turned into a make do bedroom?" he said patting Andrew's arm "It's not that we wouldn't want you to stay, far from it, it's just with Clarisse being the Queen and that.." he said watching him nod.

"It's cool, I understand really I do." Andrew nodded.

"Maybe once you can do stairs you can come stay?" Joseph suggested "I know Clarisse would love you too, as well as me and the girls of course." he added.

"Yeah," Andrew nodded "I'd like that, thanks." he smiled.

"That's a deal then," he smiled and sat down "I will even go over and turn the room into a bedroom for you before I leave next week if you like?" he started.

"NO" Andrew exclaimed as Joseph looked at him "It's not that I don't want your help, it's just with..." he shrugged "You know, with what happened with you and Mom, remember it broke your marriage up." he said looking at him "I don't want to risk anything else to happen, Clarisse is an amazing lady, the best thing to happen to you, DON'T throw it away again, Dad, Please?" he said looking at him.

"Nothing will happen Andrew," he said as Andrew stared at him "Alright I won't do it, I will get a couple of the guards over to help." he said turning in his seat a little.

"So you just brush it off like that?" he said looking at him "Which means you could be tempted."

"I beg your pardon?" Joseph exclaimed.

"You brushed it off, saying you will get a couple guards to go over instead of saying that you promise nothing would happen, you love Clarisse to much to let it happen again." he snapped.

"I do love Clarisse to let it happen again, what world are you on Andrew?" Joseph exclaimed.

"Don't let her down Dad, I swear I will kill you myself if you ever done it again!" Andrew snapped.

"Calm down Andrew please," Joseph said patting his arm "I promise I would never do that again to her, I swear on yours, Sofia and Olivia's life, I would never ever hurt again!" he said watching him "I promise,"

"Ok," Andrew nodded "I'm sorry I snapped, it must be the meds, I'm feeling pretty out of it right now." he laughed a little.

Joseph smiled "It's ok, but hey listen." he said putting his hand up on his shoulder "I love Clarisse, I wouldn't be that stupid again, I promise you that." he smiled "Ok,"

"Ok," Andrew smiled and watched him sit back down.

Meanwhile Clarisse and Elizabeth were sat outside his room watching the nurses rush here and there, when suddenly Clarisse looked at Elizabeth.

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked.

"I know I forgave you today, please don't make me regret it?" Clarisse asked and lent closer to her and whispered "If you so much as touch my husband again, I will kill you." she sat back "Do I make myself clear?" she asked.

"Very," Elizabeth nodded "You have know worries, I'm married now." she smiled as Clarisse gasped.

"Wow, when did that happen?" she asked checking the ring.

"A month ago," Elizabeth smiled and sipped her coffee.

"Congrats," she smiled sitting closer and hugged her then sat back "What's his name?" she asked and took a sip of her coffee.

"Rene," she started as Clarisse choked on her coffee "What's wrong?" she asked while watching her wipe her chin.

"Rene?" she asked almost scared to find out "What's his last name?" she asked while taking a deep breath.

"Baker," Elizabeth answered while watching her let out the deep breath "Is everything ok?" she asked.

"It is now." Clarisse nodded.

After a while Joseph headed downstairs to call back home while Clarisse and Elizabeth went in to talk to Andrew and to keep him company. After a while Joseph came back.

With a smile he put his hand on Clarisse's back "May I steel my wife for a bit?" he asked looking at Andrew as he nodded.

"What's going on?" Clarisse asked as he pulled her out the room.

"I want to take you somewhere," he smiled taking her hand as they started heading down the corridor and up the stairs a couple floors.

"Joseph, where are we going?" she asked as they came onto the children's ward, her heart skipping a beat "Ok, you've been calm but please tell me one of our babies isn't here?" she asked pulling him back to stop and looked into his eyes.

"Relax, ok?" he smiled cupping her cheek "Trust me," he smiled as she nodded "Come on," he let go of her hand and placed it on her back, guiding her through the doors.

Moments later she noticed two people stood near a door, straight away she recognized them and headed towards them with a smile.

"Hello Helen" she smiled pulling her into a hug and stood back "How is Sasha?" she asked.

"She broke her arm, that's why we are here." Helen said and pointed to her in the room.

"Ahh I will go and speak to her in a second," she smiled at them "If that's ok?"

"Of course," Helen nodded.

"I will be right back," Joseph said while rubbing Clarisse's back as she looked at him then hurried away.

A few moments later Clarisse slowly walked over to Sasha's bed and smiled at her while putting her hands together in front of her.

"Hello Sasha." Clarisse grinned as she turned her head to look at her with a gasp.

"Clarisse," she exclaimed as Clarisse lent over with a giggle and hugged her "How did you know I was here?" she asked as Clarisse stood up straight and turned sitting on the edge of her bed.

"I didn't, my husband did." she smiled at her "He saw your Dad downstairs, so he just told me and he came to get me." Clarisse smiled "We are downstairs with my Step Son, he broke his leg." she said watching her look at her arm "Your Mom tells me you broke your arm?" she said gently rubbing her hand.

"Yeah," Sasha nodded while looking at her.

"How did you do that?" Clarisse asked.

"I fell of my bike," she sighed.

"Oh dear," Clarisse said watching her with a small smile "How is school?" she asked.

Sasha looked up at her with a grin "Great, though I won't be able to go for a while now." she sighed "But before it was great." she grinned.

"Good, are you getting good grades?" she asked.

"Yeah." she smiled "How are your Daughters, Sofia and Olivia?"

"Wow you remembered their names?" she smiled as Sasha nodded "That's good, and they are doing great." she smiled "Sofia is married now and has her own little girl, Ella and Olivia is, well Olivia is Olivia." she laughed "She's going to uni in September."

"That's great, please tell them I said hello" Sasha smiled.

"I will, don't you worry." Clarisse smiled as Joseph came in.

"Sorry Sasha can I borrow Clarisse for a few moment's" he asked as they both looked at him as Sasha nodded "Thank you," he led her outside into the hall.

"What have you been buying now?" she asked seeing the balloons and monkey teddy as Sasha's parents laughed.

"I couldn't help it, she's a special little girl who deserves a treat from one of her fave people" he smirked while handing her a card and a pen "Write something in that," he smirked.

"Oh," she looked at the card trying to think of what to write while checking the balloons and monkey teddy when suddenly it clicked, with a smile she looked at her parents and asked them a question then wrote in the card "Ok, let's go back in." she smiled and grabbed the teddy as Joseph carried the balloons.

"Wow," Sasha smiled seeing them come in with the stuff and her parent's.

"Here you go," Clarisse smiled putting the teddy on the bed beside her "A little present from us." she smiled.

"You remembered I love monkeys?" she asked as Clarisse nodded.

"And that's because?" Clarisse asked while looking at her as Joseph attached the balloon string to the metal headboard behind Sasha.

"Because you love them too," Sasha smiled putting her arm around the monkey "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Clarisse smiled sitting on the edge of the bed again as Joseph stood beside her putting his arm around her shoulders as her parents stood the other side "Also we got you a card, but I didn't put it in the envelope as you might of had trouble getting it out," she smiled "Read it out to us?" she asked.

"Ok," Sasha smiled opening the card "To Sasha, I hope you get better real soon so we can go and hang out with the monkeys at the zoo again," she stopped with a bright smile and continued "Love your best friends, Clarisse (The Queen) and her Knight, Sir Joseph." she beamed while looking at her "Really?" she asked.

"Indeed, once your arm is better we will go and hang out at the zoo, and that's my promise to you." Clarisse smiled as she lent forward to hug her as Clarisse wrapped her arms around her "And maybe you can come to see the Palace afterwards." she smiled as Sasha lifted her head.

"Thank you so much." She smiled and sat back.

"I'm sure all your friends will be jealous again?" Clarisse asked.

"Yeah, they were last time." She nodded and hugged her teddy again.

"Your Mommy told me," Clarisse smiled watching her then stood up "We have to go now, but we will check in again with you sometime in the week, ok?" she asked as Sasha nodded "Ok, be good and see you soon." she lent over brushing her fringe back and kissed her forehead then waved while walking out the room.

They stood in the corridor talking for a bit then Clarisse and Joseph left heading back to Andrew, leaving a couple hours later. When they arrived back at the Palace they updated the girls with what was going on then Joseph disappeared. A while later Clarisse headed up to their suite, finding him sat on the couch.

"I'm sorry about earlier," Joseph said looking at her as she stopped and looked at him.

"I'm sorry to," she slowly walked over "It's just I see you with a ring in a red velvet box, only to find it wasn't for me but for someone else, it did scare me a little." she said sitting down beside him.

"I know I understand that," he looked at her "It's just I promised the person whose ring it really is I wouldn't say anything," he said.

"It's alright," Clarisse nodded while putting her hands on his thigh "You don't have to tell me whose it is, just promise me it's not from you." she said studying his face.

"It is for a woman, but not from me," he smirked at her as she looked at him "It's for Sasha," he whispered as she gasped "I shouldn't be telling you this but well I know you were worried and I know you won't say anything, when we are in Bora Bora Shades is gonna ask her to Marry him." he smirked as she gasped and put her hand up to her face.

"Really?" she asked as he nodded "Oh wow, that's awesome." she smiled "And of course I'm not gonna tell anyone," she smirked and kissed him "Thank you for telling me."

"Anytime." he smiled as they rested back, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she snuggled up to him "Fancy an early night?" he smirked down at her as she tipped her head back and looked up at him.

"Yeah," she grinned and kissed him as he put his other hand up cupping her face.
