Sorry this isn't the long chapter I write about in the last one. This I'd basically a filler chapter before they go to the Highlands. Sorry!
PS It may be the shortest one yet.
Matthew's POV
"So we've started developing the estate while you're developing our little prince," I mutter in Mary's ear.
"Honestly," she scolds me, "I'm only 3 weeks. Only you, me, Dr Clarkson and Anna know and I made Clarkson and Anna swear not to tell anyone else. I've told you anyway, we're going to tell everyone at Duneagle half way through the first dinner after we get there. Besides I don't want to tell anyone apart from maybe Mama and Papa until I'm at least 3 months. We'll be staying for 5 months in Scotland so when I get back, I will be quite pregnant enough, almost 8 months." I nod and start making my way to Tom's room but I meet him halfway. He's in the nursery with baby Sybbie. As I walked towards her, she lets out a great big belly laugh. One that am old man might do.
"What is so funny about Uncle Matthew?" Tom asked his daughter, "she did that with Robert today so don't think you're special!"
Robert POV
"Carson?" I call when I see the butler, "I was just wondering who is coming to Duneagle with us. Servant wise."
"Well, I am, Mrs Hughes, Mr Bates, Anna, Ms O'Brien, Mrs Patmore, Daisy, Mr Barrow, Alfred and Mr Molesly. I shall update you on any more, M'Lord," he replied. I nod and he goes to check on the Dining Room, I imagine. I turn heal and go into the Library to answer some letters.
