The Prince and the Maid

Chapter 28

Harry pov
I was shaken awake by a Body Guard, I stretched and sat up, a surgeon who looked strangle familiar was waiting to talk to me. I rolled my bloody cuffs up. "How is she, is she alive?" I asked. "Lady Grace is stable." He said. He motioned me to follow.

He took me to a private place so we could talk. "Grace was hit in two places. The bullet that went through her sternum, punctured her heart. The second broke a rib but didn't get farther than that." He said. "Is Grace alright?" "She is sleeping, you and you brother did the right thing, and took action first. You two were trained well. Where one would have freaked out, you two were calm." He said. "Thank you sir." I said. "Lady Grace is resting in room, 284." He said. "Thank you." I said. He looked like he was going to say something, but he didn't.

I left and went to the room Grace was in. I stretched again and looked my watch. I'd slept through the night, and it was already the next day. It was supposed to be our wedding day, I shook my head at the thought.

I knocked then Went in. Grace was asleep, I closed the door and went over to her. She had multiple wires and tubes in her. I went over and took her hand. My phone started ringing. I stepped away from her. "Hello?" I answered, but keeping my eyes on Grace. "How is she?" Will asked. "Alive, thank God she's alive." I said. "And how are you?" Will asked. "Relieved. How's Kate?" I asked. Yesterday an hour after Grace was shot, her water broke. "Alright, any moment now." He said. "We'll pass on the good news to her, and send me a photo of my nephew." I said. "I will, after he's born." He said. I laughed. "Harry?" A soft voice came, I turned back to Grace, "gotta go, Grace is awake." I said then hung up. I put my phone down and took Grace's hand. She tried to sit up more. "What happened?" She asked. "You were shot, you took two bullets meant for Will." I said. "Where's Kate and Will?" She asked. "In the Woman's pavilion." I said, since we were also at St. Mary's. "Is she alright?" She muttered as she closed her eyes again leaning back. "She will be, but you need to worry about your self." I said taking her hand and kissing it. She went back to sleep.

A knock came at the door. "Come in," I said. "Harry?" I looked at the door, father was standing their. "I assume you were originally here for Kate and Will?" I said standing up. "I was, but the press is anticipating news on Grace also, it seems they've grown to love her too." He said. "Apparently someone managed to get a video of you and Will taking action after she was shot." He said. "Will was the one who took action first, I was frozen in fright." I said feeling ashamed. I sat back down and held Grace's hand. "You really love her, don't you?" Father asked. "To the moon and back." I said. "I've been able to tell, from just the way you look at her." He said. "I'll leave you, two be." He said turning to leave. "Before I forget, Will told me he had a change of cloths for you." He said then Left. I turned the Telly on and the news stations were practically only talking about the shooting and Kate going into labor. I looked over at Grace, I had a craving for a cigaret. I didn't have any though.

I got up and found my way to the woman's pavilion. Kate's family members and a few of my own we're waiting outside a room. "Harry, how's Grace?" Pippa asked. "Sleeping, when I left." I said. "So what brings you to the women's pavilion?" James, Kate's younger brother asked. "Oh you know, just about to be an uncle." I said sitting down next to grandmother. "No way, me too." James said using sarcasm. I laughed. Pippa and her dad were by  the door with their ear to the door. "I'm sorry about the wedding," grandmother said putting her hand on top of mine. "It's no anything we could have avoided, but has the shooter been found?" I asked. "Scotland yard and MI5 are already working on it." She said. "I just want him behind bars." I said. "Well the shooter will be." Grandmother said. "Shhh, I think I heard a baby crying." Pippa said. My phone started ringing.

I got up and walked away. To answer it. "Harry?" It was Grace, I took off running back to where she was in the recovery wing. "I'm on my way, baby. Don't worry." I said, I looked back as I was about to leave to floor. A nurse had Just came out of the room Kate was in. "Hold on, " I said. "How's Kate?" Grace asked weakly. "She's just had the baby." I said as I walked back to my family. The nurse took him into a nursery. She had her back to us. "What's his name? Do you know?" She asked. "Not yet, but the public will, as soon as word is sent to Buckingham palace." I said. I looked back down the Hall. Will came out of the room. I looked back into the room the nurse was in. She had put my nephew into a clear crib rapped into a blue blanket. "He's amazing, I wish you were here." I told her. "It'll be us next," she muttered. Will came over and I clapped my hand on his shoulder. "Congratulations," I said, putting my arm around his neck. I noticed he was crying. "You alright?" I asked. "You'll understand when you have children." He said. "Father said you had cloths for me?" I asked. "Oh ya, there in a black bag, in the room Kate's in." He said. "Thank you, but you owe me a photo of your son." I said. "George, you mean." He said. "Congratulations again." I said patting him on the back.

I went to the room Kate was in, her parents were in their with her. Though she was red in the face and covered in sweat, she lit up when I came in. "Harry how's Grace?" She asked. I looked back down at my phone, I lifted it back to my ear. "Grace you still their?" I asked. "No," she moaned. "Do you want to talk to Kate?" "Yes," she said. "Find out for yourself." I said handing Kate my phone. I found the bag Will had told me the cloths were in.

I changed in the bathroom, I came out and Kate was laughing. "Alright, Harry's about to leave right now to go see you. when I can, I will come see you." She said. "You're not going anywhere." Kate's mom said. "Bye Grace." Kate said then handed me my phone. "She sounds really Weak," Kate huffed. "Ya, but she was shot in the chest twice." I said before I left. I caught a look of George while I walked by. Will was in the room holding him. I took a photo of Will and George before going back to where Grace was.
