2022- Winter 

London- cold snowy day

April Taylor's pov:

It was me and my whole family in the throne room with Hunter by my side, everyone was sitting and wondering what was the meaning of this. Hunter wanted to get everyone's attention so he had a glass and tapped it with a spoon then put it down "The reason we have called for you  to be in here is that." He looked over t me with a smirk and a longing smile "is that We are expecting our own little one." My mother's face beamed with pride "Oh how delightful, who knew my little April would be the first? I thought It would have been Pheoebe."  She stood hugging Hunter I stayed sitting down, "Yeah Im surprised myself, mother." I say grinning to myself. Every member of my family went to Hunter congratulating him like it was an achievement on his part. 

After a while when no one could tell that I want a present, I left to be with my own thoughts. I wanted or needed peacetime to think.  I knew it was cold out but It didn't affect me as much I had on a large jacket so I would be fine,  I found a stop in the gardens on a styled seat. It was me who had this in my body not them, yes It would be nice to have this and be a family, but then it was about the title would my child survive my family? and the constant range of doing what they want? it should come with the perks of being a spare but apparently, they changed the law and any of us children could become a Queen if we desired. I thought Phoebe would fit that rule. But I don't think they would allow Cole. 

I looked at the snow it glistered I was standing in the cold and ice it looked beautiful it was falling with beautiful snow-like images of snowmen and angels everywhere. I saw a  servant walking up to me. "Your royal highness it's freezing outside it is not good for you or." "My child? Oh please, it's just a little bit of air." But I followed him inside and once we were in I saw Hunter walking his way to me "April I heard something happened are you well?" I rolled my eyes "Can everyone relax Im fine the baby is fine!" 

"Darling maybe you should rest we need to go to my family house, it's handy because we're Knights. We don't need to go that far it's just down the road." 

*** - Knights household

We got into their home, it was large with a pool outside the children were out in the pool, having fun. I saw His parents the mother was quiet and posh her wardrobe was nice. We went into the living room with his father on a chair around their desk, his father stood to our arrival I walked in looking around the room. "Dear April welcome." He opened his arms for me to embrace him I walked over to him and joined the embrace"You have a lovely home." "Yes yes. "Please sit your highness." I sit with Hunter next to me. While his hand was holding onto me making me feel safe. His father looks at Hunter "You did well boy." He grins "Thanks." "We heard through the great vine that you're going to be parents." Hunter looks at me with a grin I blink  "Yes we are." I try and say that with emotion. His mothers come back into the room and join us she looked at me and directed the conversation to me "Your highness." I just said, "to you, I'm just  April." She smiled "Well April knowing your family will want you both to get married."  "Maybe so But I'm only twenty I still have my life to live. If we get married that's fine but I'm in no rush. Being a Taylor is a blessing and a curse, I can't do things normal people could do but if I wasn't a Taylor I wouldn't be able to have what I have." 

The maids were walking in and out through the different rooms, One looked at me and bowed "Miss will you like something?" I turned to look at him but he looked over to the maid and said  "Bring us all some food and tea for the Princess."  It made me feel weird when he called me that. Even though that was what I was. I muttered, "I'm not hungry."  He sighs "Love you need to eat if not for you for  the baby." I rolled my eyes at his seeing. 

Princess Wendy Taylor's pov:

I was still out in the snow it was so beautiful, I heard my sister's news and how pleased I was for her. She got everything she wanted, and the mother will have a field day with the news, wouldn't surprise me if they would make them married but she's still so young. I felt hands behind my back pushing me I almost screamed but then I saw Rory Miles, my gentleman. I huffed "Rory please do not do that. you scared me." "It's a joke love." "I'm sure it is.  "You look lovely today."  "Yes, I wanted to wear blue. Is Frankie around?"  "My sister is somewhere I recall." "There's something I must do please sit." I look over at him thinking his acting strange but I do indeed sit down on our uncle's bench, "What is the matter with you? why are you?" "Hush Wendy all will be revealed soon enough."  I sit back and wait for something I have no clue about. I turned my head not noticing him in front of me once I look back at him kneeling on the icy floor. I gasped and stood up covering my mouth with my hand "Oh my Rory!" He grins "That's not what I had in mind for you to say." I just stared at him in shock "Im just blown away by this gesture Rory." "Well do you have an answer, Wendy?" I didn't have time to think I was just so excited for the next chapter of us "YES." We embraced.
