"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Her screams alert Prince Daniel, her mom and dad.

"Everything alright Belle?" She points to the closet and they see the body. The mother faints and Daniel goes to hug Belle.

"Where's the baby?"

"Drew is watching him." She nods and then faints.

A week later

After Nettie's body was discovered in Belle's closet, she has been staying in one of the rooms across from hers. Prince Daniel and the king are baffled by an innocent girls death that they are investigating it. Lady Elizabeth and Sir Mason are now more cautious than ever for Belle and their grandson. Prince Daniel has assigned two guards for Belle and their son.

"Belle are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes mother, one party isn't going to hurt and besides the guards will be there."

"Here wear this." She hands her some pearls.

"Mom, they're lovely."

"I wore them the night I met your father."

"Now I want you to have them."

"I'll cherish them always."

"Come on Belle or we'll be late."

"Sera, slow down we have plenty of time. I'll be right there and besides wasn't you who said we should make a grand entrance."

"That's true, you know me so well."

"That's what best friends are for."

"Thanks, Sera."

At the ball

"You ok Belle?"

"I'm fine, besides I need the Queen to see that she messed with the wrong one."

The doors open and out they step from the carriage and everyone from the whole kingdom is out tonight, dressed in fine clothing. This is truly a grand affair, the queen has pulled out all the stops for this.

"Announcing the arrival of Lord and Lady Wilistlton."

Just then Belle steps forward to be announced, she is followed by two of her own guards.

"Announcing Lady Belle Granville." She descends the staircase and at that moment all eyes have found her and she takes off her coat to reveal her dress. The queen and princess are shocked and stunned to see her here, she is a vision of perfection. They know not to make a scene due to everyone in attendance. 

"Lady Belle, it is so good to see you again. You're looking exceptionally beautiful tonight."

"Thank You, Princess Amber. Congratulations on your marriage to the prince, I wish you two nothing but happiness." A little girl comes over.

"Belle, you're here, I knew you would be!!!" Another voice chimes in.

"Down with the princess and long live Belle, she should be our next queen." And another.

"Yeah, who needs her, all her many dresses won't put food on the table for us."

"Yeah. We should vote for the next queen."

"Besides the prince loves Belle."

"Well, princess what do you have to say to the people, they are all asking. My queen how do you respond to this." Belle says stepping forward.

"Announcing King Luke and Prince Daniel."  They walk in and the prince and the king spot Belle, the queen, and the princess. the prince takes Belle by the hand and leads her to the dance floor. 

"How are you?"

"Good evening prince, I am well thank you."

"How are Nettie's parents?"

"They are still grieving, but with time they will be happy again. She was so young, 17 years old."

"How's our son?"

"He is wonderful and growing like a weed. He looks more and more like you every day."

"But he has your eyes though." She blushes as he takes her hand and lifts her chin and kisses her cheek." The queen and princess look green with envy and hatred burn in their minds. 

"He is my husband, not that tramps!!"

"Calm down Amber, remember the people are watching." The king grabs the queen and takes her to sit on the throne next to him and try to calm her down.

"Why must this be, my son should not want whats best for him......I mean whats best for him is always the answer, but Amber is whats best for him."

"Honey, I think Amber is whats best for you. Belle is a lovely girl she would be a great queen for the kingdom." The king is happy and chuckles to himself while the queen and Amber have a hissy fit.

***********************************************************************************************The next day

"Goodmorning prince."

"Goodmorning my princess. Let me feed him today, I need to bond with my son. He takes a bottle from the maid in the kitchen to feed him while Belle gets dressed.
