King of New-Cal York

Chapter 15

Jacks POV :
It had been a week since our little shall we say ......Dispute . It was them ding and Katherine walked off to a meeting with Medda. I sat in my office and played around with a pencil . "Um sir ?" I opened the door and there was an out of breath Clara and Davey . "What is it ?" I asked . "It's him !" "Who ?" "Katherine's father !" "What ? What is it ?" "He's fallen ill , really ill and they don't think he's go an make it " "oh no , how's Katherine?" Clara shook her head . "Okay , Davey get the plane ready tell parliament I need to go with her " I said Davey nodded and I ran out.

I sprinted to our bedroom and saw Katherine frantically packing a suitcase. "Katherine?" I said . She had tears all around her face . She looked up at me and ran into my arms and out her face in my chest , and arms around my waist . "Jack " Katherine said in between cries. "Shhh , Davey is getting the plane ready , we're leaving in half an hour " "We ?" She said looking up ah me . "You think I'd send you there by yourself ?" I asked "no I just didn't know " she said "it's gonna be okay " I said and kissed the top of her head . She continued to throw in clothing items and I quickly caught up . Katherine put on a coat and slipped it on . It was July here but the palace always felt freezing .

"Come " I said . She nodded and threw her small carry on , on her shoulder and I grabbed her suitcase from her . She looked at me and I nodded . We quickly got in to the car and then on the plane . Katherine stood up as we were in the sky . "What if he's already dead !" She shouted . "Katherine, they would have told us . There's no need to fear . I'm sure he'll be okay " I said closing my laptop . "How do we know ?" Katherine asked sitting down in the seat next to me , resting her head on my shoulder . "We've gotta have faith . " I said .

Katherine sniffled and held my hand . "Hey , if your father's as stubborn as you he won't go down without a fight " I said . Which thankfully caused her to laugh . "Jack ?" "Hm ?" "I love you " she said looking into my eyes . I softly placed a kiss on her lips . "I love you too " I said and closed my eyes .

Katherine's POV :
Jack had fallen asleep . I stood up and walked to my bag . Inside where multiple letters my father wrote me when I was little while he was out across the country .

My Dearest Katherine,

How are you little princess ? Oh how I miss you and Luis and your mother . How is she ? Baby number three hopefully ? I know you don't want a brother or sister but you never know . Maybe it will be a girl and you'll have a playmate or another brother . You know mummy and I have been trying for a long time to have another baby , Alamogordo five years .

Speaking of five years . I heard a certain princess birthday is coming up soon ! Now I know you don't need anything flashy but your still my little princess so I couldn't help myself . I'm sorry to say I'll bring missing your birthday but I'm happy to give you this ! The second I come home we will eat ice cream sundaes !

My dearest Katherine, oh I love you so much .... Don't tell Luis but I love you more than anything in the world .... Yes I love you more than your mummy , but let us not tell her that , it might hurt mummy's feelings . I'm sorry to say I can't be there but I'll be home soon .

Love ,
Daddy .

I smiled and remembered that necklace with its rose gold touches and flower in the middle . I still have it to . In fact I wore it on Jack and i's wedding day .... Kinda of . I tangled it up and hid it in my slip .
I quickly pulled out another letter .

Dear Katherine,
Your brother is married ! Can you believe it . I know you wish you could see him again but you need to stay with mother will I am in New York , I'm meeting with her majesty Queen Medda , over some things , she has a nephew the next King about your age . I know your only 13 and you wish to see New York but mother needs you . You know she is due any day now and this is the first baby since you to make it past 5 months ! Don't you dare bring up any other missed or failed pregnancies, if I find out you bet your bottom dollar Katherine Sophia Pulitzer I will personally put you threw living hell and back ! Do I make myself clear ?
Happy 13 Birthday.

- Father .

I remember that birthday . Jonas was born two weeks prior and my birthday wasn't a no deal anymore. And didn't become a big deal till .... Never . I did nothing for my 14,15,16,and 17 birthdays and for my 18th birthday I was in New York feeling sorry for myself and I told everyone I had the flu to get out of activities .

I put my hand on the locket in my pocket and looked down at Jack . I hope he never writes a letter like that to any of his children , because I will drag him through hell and back .!
