THE HEIR TO THE THRONE ( PART 2)

LOSS DAY

THE NEXT MORNING 

AT ADELAIDE COTTAGE 

I: we're back

George: mommy it's nice to see you again

I: for me too honey , did you miss me?

Charlotte: yeah of course, where's daddy?

I: he's talking to grandpa, you go and play in the garden, daddy and i will join you soon

George: is everything okay mommy?

I: yes why are you asking me this question?

Charlotte: because these days grandpa, camilla, aunt autumn and uncle peter are very agitated

I: don't worry honey , i'm sure it won't be anything important, now i'd better go to  grandpa  and your father

George: come lottie let's go play in the garden

Charles: how did the return trip go? how are you with your pregnancy?

I: there were some ups and downs but everything was fine

William: what happened here instead? why all this secrecy?

Charles: your grandmother asked me to be as confidential as possible on the phone but now that you are here again i can tell you everything

Camilla: charles stop beating around the bush and tell them 

Charles: it's not an easy thing to say

William: okay both of you stop and tell us what's going on

Charles: there were some problems with sophie and zara's pregnancies

I: what kind of problems?

Camilla: unfortunately both sophie and zara had two miscarriages

William: how are they now?

I: how do you think they are? for a woman, especially a mother, it is not easy to lose the baby before it is even born or have a complicated pregnancy

Charles: why do you say this? did something happen while you were travelling?

William: while we were in sweden leonor still didn't feel well so we called a doctor and the doctor advised us against having another baby after this one is born

Camilla: why's that? 

I: because he said that this pregnancy could become dangerous for both me and the baby due to hyperemesis gravida

William: can't we go visit them and see how they're doing?

I: yes, it's a good idea

Charles: it's better if just the two of you go

William: are you sure dad? we can bring the children if you and camilla want to rest after looking after them these days

Camilla: don't worry, the children can stay here with us, we felt younger with them here

I: thank you 

William: then we will go to zara first and then to sophie

AT GATCOMBE PARK 

Peter: will, leo have you heard?

William: yes my father told us as soon as we arrived this morning

I: but what happened?

Autumn: Zara unfortunately lost her baby a few days ago, the strange thing is that she was a few weeks pregnant

William: how is she and mike?

Peter: this moment certainly isn't easy for them

I: did mia know?

Autumn: yes she was one of the first people to know after my mother in law and the queen of course

William: poor mia, she always wanted a little brother or sister

Peter: now she stays at our house with savannah and isla

Zara: what are you guys doing here?

William: we were worried about you, we came to see how you were and to find out what had happened

Zara: finally after almost three years after mia's birth, i was pregnant again for a few weeks but unfortunately a few days ago right before christmas eve, i lost the baby in a miscarriage

Mike: in fact tomorrow we will not participate in the christmas mass

Peter: we understand it perfectly

I: zara i'm so sorry, i can't imagine what you're going through right now but know that for anything you can count on us
