The next morning - CHARLES POV

Charles: How did you sleep?

Elisabeth: Was all of this just a bad dream and Simon's coronation is happening today?

She looks up to me as I stroke gently over her cheek. I move her hair behind her ear.

Charles: Unfortunately not.

Elisabeth: Charles, if this is true, then...

She stops, not wanting to say it out loud. She throws her head back, falling back onto her pillow.

Charles: Everything is gonna be okay, I know that.

I kiss her gently. We lay next to each other for a while before I put my hand on her tiny baby bump.

Charles: How is our baby?

Elisabeth: Okay, I guess.

She looks at me without any emotions. She's stressed and lost, not knowing how to feel. And I don't know how to help at all. It's a shock for everyone. Let's just hope this is not a true.

Charles: Remember Grace pregnancy, we need to be careful especially since you're only three weeks.

Elisabeth: I know Cha, let's pretend it's a bad dream.

She finally laughs while putting her hand on my cheek, looking deep into my eyes

Elisabeth: I won't let anything happen to our baby.

Charles: I know, princess. I love you.

Elisabeth: I love you more.

I kiss her and she kisses me back. We can do this together, we're stronger than ever. We make out but that didn't last for long as we hear a knock on our door. Our advisors, assistants and domestics are walking inside. I fall back with my eyes rolling. They always have the perfect timing. Elisabeth sees my reaction and laughs while getting up.

Elisabeth: Let's go!

*******

We made ourself ready, eat something to breakfast and go with Grace into the garden. She loves to play here. Carla and Arthur are picking her up any minute. I hold Elisabeth's hand while we slowly walk behind Grace.

Charles: No matter what happens, we're gonna make it.

Lisa: Your highness, the king wants to meet you immediately.

Elisabeth: Alright, I'll be there in a minute.

Lisa: I'm sorry, your highness, please now.

I squeezes her hand, knowing she wants to say goodbye to Grace.

Charles: It's okay, go and see your dad.

She sighs and looks back to Grace who's happily running around chasing some butterflies.

Elisabeth: Okay, give her a kiss when they pick her up.

Charles: Don't worry about us.

I wink to her with a little smile, trying to lighten up her mood. She smiles softly and gives me a kiss before she goes with Lisa and Ryan.

*******

I play with Grace as Elisabeth left to go to her dad. It's great to see Grace happy, she forgot about all the drama already. So innocent.
