Two weeks from the birth of the new Grand Duke, christening took place. Everyone was present on that celebration, including Doweger Empress Marie Feodorovna and also the royal family from Spain. They all were thrilled by this wonderful occasion...

[Y/N] came up to the chair on wich the Doweger Empress was sitting. She bowed and kissed her hand respectfully. "Your Grace.. Thank you for coming today. It really means a lot to us..."The elder woman smiled to her and grabbed her hands. " My dear, I'm the one who should show gratitude..." She looked into her eyes. " I think you still do not realize what a great honor and luck you've brought to our family."
" It is the greatest honor and luck for me as well, Your Grace... Being a mother is truly something beyond imagination, if one didn't experience that..." [Y/N] smiled softly. Nicholas' mother nodded, and then asked. " If you'd agree, may I have a closer look on your little one?"
" Of course." The young woman nodded her head to Anastasia, who came up to them , holding the baby boy in her arms. She gave it to her grandmother with a smile.
" Nana, may I introduce, His Highness,  Grand Duke Peter Alexeievich Romanov." Marie chuckled.
" He's not grand! He's little!" Amelie chained in. Her mother was about to intervene, but Igor did it first. " It's not a part of a name. It's a title." He explained as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
" But he probably doesn't even have an idea what that means!"
" Not his fault..." Both Elena and Yelizaweta said in union, making everyone laugh. The Doweger Empress shook her head. " Nevertheless, he looks like he actually knows who he is, what is happening around. I haven't seen such a mature look on baby's face, as long as I'm alive... A prince of two great lands. May he grow strong and healthy in happiness, with his parents..."
" Thank you..." Said both, Alexei and [Y/N] grateful for the blessing of the Empress Mother."
"Can I see him now?" Victoria Eugenia asked. [Y/N] nodded. " Excuse me." She carefully took the baby from the Doweger Empress and walked up with him towards the queen of Spain. Later, she was stopped by princess Ileana of Romania and her family, then, by king George and his family... Alexei came up next to [Y/N]. He didn't want to leave her alone with this all fuss around. As they both were focused on receiving congratulations and wishes of the best from more than hundred people, Doweger Empress Marie Feodorovna came up to her son and daughter-in-law as she lowered her voice." Is the child healthy? Are there any signs of...?
" Mother." Nicholas scolded her lightly, unpleased that she's bringing this topic up in such a joyful, blessed day.
" I'm just asking..." The Doweger Empress said softly. To the tsar's suprise, Alexandra took a stand this time. " Don't worry. Peter is absolutely healthy. The doctor checked on him. There are no signs of hemophilia."
" Praise the Lord..." Marie sighed in relief.

At the evening ~

[Y/N] heard her son's cry and quickly rushed towards the crib, pulling the little one out. " What's wrong, my little prince? Did something wake you?" She cooed, hugging the child to herself. As he felt his mother's warmth, the boy calmed down a little, but still weeped quietly. " Shh..." She kissed his forehead. " Mama's here... It's OK..."
She came up to the armchair and sat in it, cuddling the baby to herself and began to sing a lullaby she remembered her mother singing to her...
