Their Royal Highnesses- British Royal Family Fanfiction

Second Christmas without mum

 December 25th, 1998

   Christmas was Alastair and Harry's favorite time of the year but since their mother died last year, Christmas has never been the same. Last year Alastair refused to partake in any Christmas activities or gift giving while Harry cried through out the day but did partake in the activities and gift giving. William enjoyed Christmas as if his mother didn't die and that angered the boy's brother's. But this year, Alastair knew that he had to enjoy Christmas and not just because his family wanted him to but because he felt that his mother would be upset or sad for him if he didn't partake in his favorite holiday. 

  Alastair had become very popular since his mother passed away, the public was obsessed with him. The public followed him, screamed his name when they saw him, and tried to have conversations with him. Alastair hated the public but didn't publicly show his disdain for them. William and Alastair had grown up handsomely so far, William had finally gotten his brown hair but it still had blonde streaks here and there along with his still slightly dark blue eyes and he was still slightly tall for someone his age, Alastair still had his odd dark brown hair with his blue eyes had become lighter but not much and his height grew slightly but normal for his age range. Harry's eyes had stayed the same but his hair had surprisingly brightened and it was now so bright that his brothers often said he had orange hair instead of red hair. 

  William, Alastair, and Harry were covered in their winter jackets as they walked in the cold weather, being greeted by the crowds on this snowy Christmas morning. Sandringham was the place where they spent Christmas and would plan to go to the church the next morning. They always opened their present's on Christmas eve instead of Christmas day. His cousin's Beatrice and Eugenie walked up to them and joined in on their conversations and walking to the Sandringham church. 

  The group had decided to sit in the back so they could talk quietly without causing a disruption. " Out of us, who do you think will get married first?" Beatrice asked everyone quietly. " Harry" Alastair and Eugenie replied in sync. " Me/William" Harry and William replied together. "Eugenie will, of course" Beatrice replied, seeming quite sure of herself. " You all will be great husbands but I think Harry will be overprotective of his wife while Alastair will shower his girl with gifts and lots of love" Eugenie stated, smiling at the boys. " You'll both be great wives, but Beatrice will make the best mum with Eugenie being a awesome aunt to her baby" William commented after a few seconds of silence. 

  " Harry and Alastair will be the best father's" William grinned at his brothers. " Who will have the most children?" Harry wondered as the original topic switched. " Beatrice will have 2 or 3 kids, Eugenie will have 1, William will have 5, Harry will be happy with 2 but might have another one, while Alastair will have 4" his aunt Princess Anne says butting into the children's conversation. " Na, I'll have 2 along with Harry, but William will have 4, Eugenie and Beatrice will both have two children" Alastair claimed. " That doesn't matter, you all will be lovely parents to any children you will have" his great grandmother replied, making the children become quite to pay attention. 

   After church, the group returned to their earlier conversation. " What do you think you'll have first and name them?" Harry asked the group. " I'll have a boy first and his name will be Marcus but if they happen to be a girl maybe Eliza" Beatrice commented, wondering about her future baby. " Mine will be a boy named Fredrick after Alastair but if I also have a girl I'll name her Diana after Mum" Harry stated, slightly sad. " I'll name my twins with the firstborn being a girl named Isabella with the second baby being a boy named Spencer" Alastair says causing the group to either laugh or smile. " I'll name my son Philip or something different like Micah" Eugenie laughed. " I don't have any names in mind but I like to think my firstborn will be a daughter" William mentioned. 

  " You'd really name your baby if it was a boy after me?" Alastair smiled at his little brother. " Of course his name would be Fredrick William Philip after my brother and grandfather. His nickname would be Freddy or Fred" Harry announced. The group was happy by their conversations of their future lives. 

  Alastair thought this Christmas was different but not dark like last year's Christmas. He spent it with family and friends, he felt like his mother was proud and happy for him. He knew that his heart would heal as time went on but would never be full and complete again or at least for an extremely long time.
