Camilla's P. O. V.

"Mom. Dad. It's great to see you. Although I wish it were under better circumstances. "

They come over to the side of the hospital bed and hug me, "Oh sweetie. We're so glad you're alright. How's the baby?"

"They delivered her. She's being looked after. We've named her Charlotte. "

My mom squeezes my hand, "That's beautiful. Now, where is my handsome grandson"

Right at that moment, Julian walks through the door with John. My parents have seen pictures of John, but they've never met them. So John doesn't know who they are.

Julian hands John over to my mother, who immediately starts talking to John.

Julian comes over and sits down next to me, taking my hand in his. I see my dad looking, "Uhm, honey. What's going on?"

I bite my lip as my mom diverts her attention to us, "Mom, dad. Louis is sick and he is dying. This is Louis' cousin, Julian. We're in love. Julian is next in line for the throne and after Louis dies, we're getting married. Also, John is Julian's baby. Louis supports our relationship and has given us his blessing for our upcoming marriage"

My mom look at John, "He does look an awful lot like Julian"

I nod, "Please treat John the same. And don't treat Julian badly. He's been amazing. He's been so understanding of my duty to the crown and to Louis"

my dad stands up and shakes Julian's hand, "Son, welcome to the family. "

Julian grins, "Thank you, sir"

My mom grins, "Cami, every time we see you, you have an even more attractive man with you. "

I blush and look at Julian, who's laughing. My dad smiles, "You two made a beautiful little boy. "

I grin up at Julian, "Thanks dad"

"Now, is Charlotte yours as well?"

Julian shakes his head, "Louis had one last wish. He wanted Camilla to bear his child. So Charlotte is his. But he's asked me to claim her as my own. So my name is on the birth certificate. "

My mom sets her hand against her chest, "Oh my. How much longer does he have to live?"

I sigh, "A week or two. "

My mom gasps, "We'll stay as long as we need to. We'll stay and help you recover and help take care of Charlotte. We'll stay for the funeral. And we'll stay for the wedding. "

I bite my lip, "Mom, Dad, why don't you guys just move here?"

My parents look at each other in a silent exchange, "Okay"

I grin, "Okay?"

They nod. I squeal in happiness, "It'll be so good to have you around. You can stay in the palace, obviously. "

Julian squeezes my hand, "I just want to warn you. My parents rang this morning. They're on their way to be here when Louis passes. "

I nod, "So I'll be meeting them. "

He nods, "It'll be okay. Don't worry. "

I smile and nod as he takes my hand and kisses the back of it.
