The Prince and the Maid

Chapter 39

Grace POV
The next afternoon Harry and I went to my appointment. They took us back as soon as we signed in. We went back into a room. "Hello, you two. I wasn't expecting you two till the new year." She said. "So is there a problem?" She asked. As she started her usual exam. "Well Harry told me yesterday he was worried about me and my stress level. But I work with twelve how do I say? Neglected girls at a Girl's home. And yesterday they were being dropped off by their parents. Some were obvious the source of the girls' problems. And then Christmas wasn't that good either." I said playing with my wedding bands. "What do you mean that Christmas wasn't good either?" Dr. Hill asked. I looked at Harry, he nodded. "I woke up dehydrated and I was put on an IV, then I got better and I went to dinner. Where I was assaulted verbally." I said. "I'm assuming you don't want to go into detail, but after what happened?" She asked. "I ran out, found a quiet place to cry, some of my former coworkers tried to comfort me. Harry came in, comforted me. We left, and went home, I locked myself in the bathroom. I nearly did something I haven't done since my parents died but I didn't." I said. "So I'm assuming your stress levels are up?" She said. I nodded. "Let's do a quick ultrasound see how baby is. Anything else big coming up that I should know about?" She asked as she put the cold gel on my stomach. "Well, the day after the next scheduled appointment we are leaving for the US." Harry said. "And do you intend to go?" Dr. Hill asked. "Well yes, but I don't want to." I said. "Worry about the baby, and I can understand. Being eight months and traveling." She said. "So since your stress levels are high, I'm going to put you on bed-rest. And at your next appointment. I'll decide if you should travel or not." She said. "Alright," Harry said. I looked at the monitor. Diana came into view. Harry took my hand and kissed it. "She looks alright." Dr. Hill said. I smiled. I felt a strong kick. I repositioned myself. "She's strong, a fighter." I said. Harry chuckled. "Alright," Dr. Hill said printing the photo. She wiped the gel off and I pull my top down. "So don't be on your feet much, going to the bathroom and for short walks are alright, but try your best to be off your feet all together." Dr. Hill said. Harry helped me up. "Alright thank you." I said.

Harry and I left, I called Angie in the car. "Hey how was the appointment?" She asked. "Good, I'm going to be on bed rest for the next two weeks." I said. "Alright, I'll call the city and have them send a replacement." She said. "Don't tell the girls, if they start worrying about me, I'll start worrying about them." I said. "alright. I'll tell them your taking some personal time off." Angie said. "alright, thank you." I said. "I hope you get better," Angie said. "I will, bye Angie." I said. "Bye." She hung up. "So two weeks in bed what will you do?" Harry asked. "I don't know, I'll find something to do." I said. "Wait theirs a game before we leave, do you think you'll be able to make it?" Harry asked. "I don't know, I doubt it." I said. "Well, the game doesn't matter, focus on getting better." Harry said kissing my hand.

He pulled into Kensington and helped me out. We went up to our room. "Alright, Missy you are to get in that bed and not get up unless you absolutely need to." Harry said. I turned and pouted. "But Harry," I nagged. Harry rapped his arms around my waist, he pulled me close to him. He glared at me with that serious expression. I laughed and he kissed my nose. He smiled and started walking, making me walk backwards. He picked me up and laid me on the bed. He of course couldn't lay on top of me. But he was laying on top of my chest. "I love you," I said as he smacked his lips against mine. "I love you too." He said as we kissed. I needed Harry. I undid the buttons on his shirt. "Are you sure?" Harry asked pulling away. I nodded as I pulled him back to me. Harry started kissing my neck, I let out a moan that came out from deep within my chest. I felt a kick. I let out a moan of pain. Harry instantly got off me. "Are you alright?" Harry asked. "she's just kicking." I said sitting up, with a hand on my stomach. "Are you sure your alright? Did I hurt you?" He asked. "She kicked my bladder." I said as I slid off the bed. I went to the bathroom.

I came out and Harry had changed. "Where are you going?" I asked. "Granny wants to see me." He said. "What about me?" I asked. "She just asked for me." He said. "Alright," I said. "So relax on the bed, and I'll be back later." He said picking me up and putting me in the bed. "Yes your highness." I said sweetly mocking. He gave me a peck on the cheek before leaving. Harry opened the door and George ran in. "Auntie Grace." He squealed. "Keep her company for me George." Harry said. "Otay, Uncle Harry." He said. Harry picked George up and put him on the bed. "Bye Grace." Harry said kissing me. George squealed. We laughed then Harry left. "So what do you want to do?" I asked. "Telly!" He squealed. "Alright," I said. I grabbed the remote and turned it on. "What do you want to watch?" I asked. "Doctor!" He squealed. I found reruns of Doctor Who. And George leaned up against me.

Of course His nanny came looking for him after an episode. "I'm sorry your highness if he was bothering you." She said. "Not at all, he's been a sweetheart, like he always is." I said.  George climbed off the bed. "Bye-bye" he waved as he took his nanny's hand. It was so sweet. I started thinking, Soon That'll be Diana. I laughed and shook my head. "Too far in the future." I said to myself. But then again these last two years have gone by with a flash. And thoughts of the future started flooding my mind of Diana. I couldn't stop grinning, every time she kicked, it seemed like she was say sooner and sooner. And honestly I couldn't wait to meet her.
