I woke up Christmas morning with stomach pains when ever the baby kicked. "Come on Grace, time to go." Harry said coming out the shower. "Harry, my stomach hurts." I said. "Are you alright, do you want me to send for a doctor?" He asked. I nodded. I laid back on the bed. Harry put pillows behind me so I could sit up. "Is Di, Behaving?" Harry asked. Kate came in. "Grace can I borrow your Diamond studs? Hey are you alright?" Kate asked. "I just sent for a doctor." Harry said. Kate was five months now. "What's wrong?" Kate asked. "It just hurts when the she moves, and when I move." I said with a hand on my stomach. A doctor came in, "Merry Christmas, your highnesses." He said bowing, "feel better Grace." Kate said taking my earrings and leaving. "How do you feel, Your Highness?" He asked coming over and feeling my belly. I winced every time he'd push down. "How much water have you been drinking?" He asked. "A liter a day, like I always do," I said. "That's your problem. Your dehydrated. I'll have an IV brought to you, then I'll be back this afternoon and check how your doing, and from now on, try for a gallon, or so." He said leaving. "I'll let the family know you can't come." Harry said. "Harry I'm alright, I can go to church." I said getting up, but it hurt. Harry helped me sit back down. "No your not, stay in bed, watch Doctor Who reruns and relax." He said. He finished getting ready.

A knock came at the door. "Come in," I called. Beatrice and Eugenie came in. I sat more. "Grace are you alright?" Beatrice asked. "More less." I said rubbing my belly. "What happened?" They asked climbing onto the foot of the bed. "I'm dehydrated," I said. "Why?" Eugenie asked. "Haven't been drinking enough water." I said. "Well, that's too bad anyways." Beatrice said. "Don't bother Grace," Harry said. Coming out of the bathroom. "What took you so long, were you putting on makeup?" I asked. "No, my hair wouldn't lay the way I wanted it to." Harry said, he came over and kissed me. "Do you know what your expecting.  The media thinks it's a boy, is it?" Eugenie asked. "It's actually a girl." I said. "what's her name?" Beatrice asked. "Diana Faith Elizabeth-Spencer." Harry said. "favoritism for Aunt Di much?" She asked. "Well Diana is for her grandmother, but Spencer was my father's name and Elizabeth is my mother's middle name along with Her Majesties's first name." I said. "You miss your parents don't you?" Eugenie said. I nodded. "My parents died durning the Christmas time, so I usually don't enjoy this time. Then Harry made it better." I said. He kissed the side of my head. "You make Christmas better for me too." He said. "Alright, Harry we have to go. You know how Granny is about time." Beatrice said. "I'm coming," he said as his cousins left. "Call me if anything happens, I'll call you when we're headed back." Harry said kissing me, then my belly. "Behave Di," he said before leaving.

I put my jacket and went down to the carport. Kate came over to me, "is Grace alright?" she asked. "She's just dehydrated." I said. Father looked over at us. He came over to us. "Is Grace Joining us?" He asked, "no, she's dehydrated." I said again. "Well, I hope she gets better, so she can join us for dinner." He said. "I hope she just gets better." I said.

We arrived at the church and got out. We walked to the entrance where little girls were giving Granny flowers. The girls gave flowers to the other women in my family. "Prince Harry," I turned at the sound of my name when I was about to enter. The little girl was holding a few flowers out to me. "For Princess Grace." She said. I got down on my knee and I took the flowers. I took one of the flowers and gave it back to her. "Here keep one," I said. She smiled and blushed. I went in with my family.

After church, Granny came over to me. "I know I don't allow many to skip Christmas lunch, but I know you want you to go check on Grace. So you may, but if she's able. I'd love to have the two of you to be their for Christmas dinner." Granny said. "Thank you," I kissed her cheek.

The doctor who had seen me earlier, was reevaluating me. He was pressing on my stomach, "no pain?" He asked. "No," I said. "Well that's good, I think you should be able to go to Christmas dinner." He said. "Thank you." I said.  The nurse took the IV out of my arm and put a bandage over it. Then the nurse and Doctor left.
