A few hours later

Francis POV
We fell asleep, I had my arms around Lola protecting her just like she wanted. As I slowly wake up I hear the baby start to stir, meaning he wants something. Their he wants to be held or fed. I dont want to wake Lola so I get up. Stand at the edge of the makeshift bed for a moment. Just to confirm my suspicions. I was correct because within seconds he started to cry. I knew with my instincts that he wanted me. I was going to be holding him  soon and that moment came. I walked over to the basket he was sleeping in before he woke. I reached down with my arms in the cradling position which I learned from mother when she taught my sister to hold her baby dolls. I knew that I had to support his head and his bum when holding him. That was one thing I remembered. "Ssh , son your father is here. I have you, no one is going to take you away from me. Maybe your mother when she wakes up butm besides her the people in your life are going to be people who love you. Aunt Mary, Aunt Kenna and grier, Uncle Bash, Grandmother Catherine. Those people and a few others are your family. They are the people who are going to protect you with their lives. They believe you are special little one. " I tell him as I sway him back and forth to comfort him. As he finishes his fussy session I hear Lola stir, and she wakes up. " Im up, is he ok? " Lola asks me as she sits up in the makeshift bed. " He just wanted me to hold him. He is fine Lola. " I tell her as I sway him back and forth. Lola then comes up behind me and looks over my shoulder. I can't believe my life his come down to this moment here with my family. Everything that has happened in my life , every small moment is going to be special. " He should head out, before we loose light. Getting us back to the castle is the safest place for everyone involved. "I tell Lola as she picks up what she brought with her. " Of course , it is the safest place for us and him." Lola says as he walks over and kisses his forehead. " Alright, I will alert Conde that we are leaving and we can leave for the castle." I tell Lola as I pass our newborn son to her. I walk outside and look for Conde, I ask one of his men and he directs me to a fire that was started merely a few moments ago. " Conde, thank you for everything but we have decided to leave because of ur duties to the King and Queen. " I tell Conde as Lola is lacking the small amount of things that she had left from the few weeks that she was away. " I have the ability to protect the ones that I care about. You are my cousin, you have a wife who just had your son. The two of you alone in the woods is not safe. Me and my men can escourt you back to your home. It would be a great honour, plus it gives you time to care for your wife. She can ride on the back of this buggy. She will be safe, as well as the newborn. You can ride your horse or ride with her, its your choosing. " Conde tells me and I thank him. I decide to ride, so that my horse isn't lead astray. We head onward to the castle, to see my family again, to see Mary. They must be worried sick about us, wondering the worst.

Mary POV

Its been days since I last heard from Lola, or even Francis. I hope that nothing has happened to them. They are my family, my friends. I care about them so much that I don't know what I would do if I lost them. Lola is like my sister, and I love her so much. But for now, I have to focus on my people. The people of France need me and Bash to guide them to safety in the time of potential for the plague or something worse famine. " Your Majesty, yu are needed int he throne room . His royal highness is asking for you." A servant told me as I sat at my dressing table. I then placed my crown on my head and headed out to the throne room. Each passing hour they are not back in the castle scares me. But I can't think about that now. I have to address my people in a time of need. " Hello everyone, we are gathered here today for myself and the king to explain the worry. The threat of sickness is sweeping the land. We have already sealed the gates and everyone is protected. " I say to the crowd, knowing that I am going to be locked away with Bash and catherine as well as her other children. The royal family needs to be protected at all costs. As soon as I finish and exit the throne room the trumpets sound. I then remembered and I race outside. Lola and francis are back. On my way out of the castle i grab a cape as well as a blanket for lola francis or the baby. " Presenting his majesty  Prince Francis, her majesty Princess Lola and their son. " the announcer yells. " Lola, you're back!" I screamed as i ran into her arms. " Mary! This is our son, Jean. " Lola tells me as she is passed her new baby. " Francis, so nice to see you back." I say to him as he passed Lola her son." He is beautiful, really. We must get you inside, before you get any colder." I say as I walk inside and wait for them. It feels right to have Lola, and Francis back in the castle. Now they have the baby, and I wonder where mine is. Then I remember, I don't have one yet. I need to spend more time with Bash in the bedroom.

Francis POV

Its so strange being back in the castle but relieving. Those few days away from the only times I had been away from the castle and nobody knowing . The most has been 3 days. I come back to the castle a changed man. I am now a father to a boy. My duties are to the people whom i love. There is nothing that I won't do for them." There is the nursery for your son you graces. The king and queen hope you enjoy. Send for me if you need assistance." A handmaiden tells me and lola as she exits." Its so strange being back here, this was a room i used to play in as a child. Mother and father sent us here to stay away from the other children. Now he gets to have this room, and enjoy the castle." I say as I look out the window that faces the court yard. I turn around to see Lola placing our son in the crib. He is supposed to be tired but is still awake. I walk over to the crib and take Lolas hand and place my hand in Jean's. " This moment, here with you. Nothing else matters." I say and I see Lola's face lights up. She then leans in and kisses me. I take my hand off Jean and wrap my arms around her. This is what dreams are made of. We are family now ,forever  and nothing will change it.
