Camilla's P. O. V.

"So, what are you going to name him?"

I smile up at Beatrice as I hold my baby, "John. "

Beatrice grins, "He's beautiful. "

"Here, hold him. "

Beatrice takes John from my arms, "You should get some rest. I can look after him for an hour or two. "

I nod, "Okay, sounds good. Thank you."

Beatrice walks out of my room, taking John with her. I roll over on my side and shut my eyes, falling asleep quickly.

"Darling, Camilla, wake up"

I wake up and hear crying. Julian looks at me, "Sorry to wake you. But John's hungry."

I sit up, "It's fine. Bring him here. "

I take John in my arms and start breastfeeding him. After a little while, he falls asleep. I set him in the crib next to my bed and stand up, walking to the throne room where everyone is gathered.

Louis smiles when he sees me, "There she is. You did so great"

Catherine, Julian's mother, says, "Louis, why don't you go spend some time with your son? I haven't even seen you touch him yet. "

Louis looks at me then back at his mom, "Mother, John is not my baby. "

Everyone gasps, including Beatrice. I sigh, "I'm sorry everyone. But I'm having an affair with Julian, and I honestly don't know how you couldn't tell. We weren't very good at hiding it. I love Louis and I love Julian. John is my and Julian's child. Please, still love John the same. It's not his fault. "

Beatrice speaks up, "It's okay, Cami. We understand how hard it must have been to change lifestyles and cultures completely. You're used to relationships where the spouses are together a lot. Not in the royal family. We don't condemn you for what you did. Because what happened, brought a beautiful little baby into this world, and that is a good thing. "

I smile and hug her, "Thank you. "

She pulls away, "No problem. I love you. You're my sister. "

Angela walks over to me, with tears running down her face, "Can I talk to you in private?"

I nod and we go into my room, careful not to wake the baby, "What's up?"

Angela starts crying, "I am so sorry. I'm so sorry I said those harsh and hurtful things to you. I'm so sorry I stabbed you in the back. I now understand that you and Julian really do love each other. And it pains me to think that I almost messed that up between you too. You have a child. And that child is a symbol of your and Julian's love. "

I smile and hug her, "It's alright. Let's just move on. "

I pull away and smile at her, "I have to ask you a question, would you be John's godmother?"

Angela gasps and nods, "Absolutely!"

I hug her, "Thank you. "

I hear John start to coo so I walk over to the crib and pick him up. I start bouncing him around and laugh as he starts to smile.

Angela sighs, "Wow. You're going to be a great mom. I wish I could have a family. "

I look at her, "Angela, you will eventually! Look, there may be someone I could introduce you to. "

Angela raises her brows, "Oh yeah?"

I nod, "Yeah! His name is Alex. He's very thoughtful and incredibly good looking. He's Louis' best friend. "

"I thought Julian was his best friend?"

I shake my head, "Julian is his cousin"

Angela looks at me in shock, "Oh. Wow. Okay."

I laugh, "I know. I know. It's weird. It's weird for Americans, but not people in Europe. Especially in royal families. So, no one would look at it as weird, if we were to be married. Which the only way that would happen is if.."

I stop, not wanting to finish my sentence. Angela finishes it for me, "Louis is killed"

I shake my head, "I don't want to think about that. Let's forget I even said anything "
