The Prince and the Maid

Chapter 52

Grace pov
It was Christmas time and I was still working with Her Majesty. It was Christmas Eve. "Grace when are you going to go back to Harry?" She asked out of the blue. "Your Majesty, you must be confused. I'm not Princess Grace." I said. "Grace, you don't need to hide. If you don't want to see Harry it's alright. but he's not doing well." she said. "I should have forgiven him." I said. "Why don't you?" She asked. "I need to. Do you know where he'll be tonight?" I asked. "Kensington most likely. But you can see him tomorrow." She said. I smiled. "I'll see you outside the church tomorrow morning. Good night, Grace." She said. I nodded. She got up and left, I followed her out. She hugged me. "I better see you outside the church tomorrow morning." She said. "Yes ma'am." I curtsied. And we went our own ways.

The next morning I got dressed in a Loose fitting knee length dress. I had a scrap of one of Harry's tee shirts ties around my wrist. I put my running shoes on also, with a pair of flats in my purse. I put a warm jacket on. And took a cab to the church. I bought a bouquet of flowers to see if I could get his attention. I got into the crowd and tried pushing forward. I made it to where I had a clear view of the path. The cars came and stopped and the royals started getting out. One by one they came by. Kate was in front of me, talking to the couple infront of me. "Kate get Harry." I said. "Grace," Kate said. I nodded. She took my flowers. "I'll get him." She said. She went over to Harry and whispered to him. He didn't show emotion, he just walked into the church.

They came out of the church. "Harry!" I yelled. He stopped. "Harry, I'm sorry." I yelled. He was scanning the crowd. I pushed in front. "Harry, I'm here." I yelled, tears rolling down my cheeks. We made eye contact for a few seconds, then he walked away towards the cars. Prince Charles started scolding him.

They got into the cars. I slipped under the rope that had the people separated from the royals. "Harry." I yelled. The cars started and started down the road. I ran after them. I didn't care if I was making a spectacle of myself, I needed my Harry back.

The cars went to Buckingham palace. They closed the gates on me. "Harry!" I yelled when he got out. "I'm sorry." I yelled. He turned away. Her Majesty was scolding him. I ran around to the serving entrance. Megan was there. "what are you doing here?" She asked. "He wouldn't speak to me at church, so I'll see if he will speak to me now." I said. I touched up my makeup, put my flats on and I fixed my hair.

I knew what room Christmas lunch was going to be in. I went in. "Grace what are you doing here?" Harry yelled. "I've been trying to apologize to you all morning." I said. "I know." He said. "Harry go speak with her." Her Majesty said.

Harry followed me to a parlor. "Harry I should have never left. I was stupid to leave." I said. "Now you realize that?" He asked. "I realized that when I started working here again. I've been trying to call you, but you don't answer." I said. "I blocked your number," he said. "How's Faith?" I asked. "She's crawling," he said. I got up and sat next to him. "I missed you." I said. He put his arm around me. "I missed you too." He said. I looked into those beautiful eyes I love. He leaned over and kiss me. I rapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me onto him, and laid down on top of me. "I've missed you so much." He said. "I was wrong to leave you." I said. "I was wrong to have sex with another woman." He said. "I love you." I said. A knock came at the door. Harry got up off me. We sat up and composed ourselves. "Come in." Harry said. "Are you made up?" Will asked poking his head in. "Yes," we said. We got up, and followed him out. I fixed my hair and we went back to the dinning room.

After the meal, we went to the parlor were we always watch Her Majesties's broadcast. The nannies brought the children in. "Diana," I said taking her. I kissed her head and rocked back and forth with her in my arms. "Don't crush her." Harry said. "Well I haven't seen or held her in four months. That's hard for a mother." I said. Harry laughed. Harry pulled me into his lap. He kissed me. Faith squirmed in my arms. I loosened my grip on her. "so why change your hair color?" Harry asked. "so I wouldn't be recognized." I said. "I like it." Harry said. I smiled. "I'm glad you like it, because I'm stuck with it, I just re-dyed it." "Grace you didn't bring Christmas poppers." Peter said. "Oh but you don't know, check behind the couch your sitting on." I said. He questionably did. "How?" He asked holding the basket. "I've been working here for four months, I snuck in here last night an placed them." I smiled. "Wait that was you when George called you out?" Kate asked. "It was, you almost blew my cover, George." I said to him. He smiled. He came over and crawled onto the couch between Kate and I. He hugged me, "I missed you." I said. "Me too." He said. Kate smiled. Peter was opening one of the poppers. He got it open and he gave the prize to his daughter. He read the corny joke then put the paper crown on. He threw me one. I had Harry help me open it, I took the little plastic car out and gave it to George. I took the crown and joke out. Yet it wasn't a joke, I'd gotten a poem one. I smiled as I read it. "Are you going to read it?" Harry asked. "Sure, I got a poem.

We are here my love together again
Back where we should have always been
Back where we were meant to be
Together as one just you and me

While we were apart it seemed so
wrong
I longed for you my whole life long
I ached to be with you so very much
To hear your voice to feel your touch

And now at last we've met once again
In love again as we were before
More in love than we could have ever supposed
Together again life's circle closed.
-G.R. Ford-"

"Well that was perfect." Harry said kissing my cheek. "What are the chances." Kate said. My phone rang, "I'm sorry," I said getting up and leaving. "Hello?" I answered. "Jane where are you?" The head of staff asked. "With my husband and his family." I said. "Well I don't care if you married the Prince of Wales, you need to get here now." He said. "But I am at Buckingham palace." I said. "Then get the butt to the staff quarters." He hissed. "Fine," I said. I put my phone away and headed to the server quarters.

"What the hell are to doing?" he asked when I got there. "I was with my family." I said. "Why do you have a Child?" He asked. "This is my daughter Diana Faith." I said, as she giggled. "What are you doing?" He asked. "I'm watching Her Majesty's broadcast."  I said. "Well you need to get your uniform on and get to the throne room." He said. "I don't think Her Majesty would appreciate that, she told me to stay with her family." I said. "She's right," Megan piped up. "Alright then, go." He said. "Thank you," I said.

I rolled my eyes when I left. "He's a Mean man, isn't he." I said to Faith. She giggled. I went back to the parlor, "where did you go?" Harry asked. "Head of staff wanted to see me." I said as I sat down with him. "Did he not know who you are?" He asked. "I don't think so, considering he said, ' I don't care if your married to the Prince of Wales,' then went on yelling." I said. Harry laughed. "He has no clue." He said.

At dinner my phone kept ring. Harry took my phone. "Will you please stop calling Grace?" He said. "This is Prince Harry, her husband." I smiled. "yes, Jane is Grace." He said. "Merry Christmas." Harry handed me my phone back. "Did I lose my job?" I ask. "If you want it?" Her Majesty said. "I'll think about it." I said.

Later during the meal, Harry got a bit cheeky. He started rubbing him hand up my thigh. I kept jumping the farther he moved his hand up my thigh. Eventually we got to go home. Harry carried me into Kensington, with Faith in my arms. He put me down, and I kissed Faith before putting Faith in her crib. Will and Kate came in and put their children in there cribs. Harry picked me up and carried me to our room. I couldn't resist any longer, I started kissing him and running my nimble fingered through his ginger hair. He opened the door to my room. "Slip into something more comfortable." He whispered with a rough sounding voice. He put me down, he'd found the lingerie I'd been saving for a special occasion. I found it and slipped it on. Before joining Harry, he'd put Light as a Breeze by Billy Joel. It made it perfect. Harry picked me up and we started kissing. I moaned as he kissed my neck. He took me to the bed. "You are never to leave me again, that is a royal decree." He said. "Yes Your Highness." I said as I pulled him back on me to kiss him.

No one woke us up in the morning, no alarm clocks. We just slept as late as we wanted. Harry didn't let get up, after three tries I gave up and let Harry hold me.
