Nikolai blushed from the words of her husband. "I'd like to think we look pretty, equally. Right kiddo?"
"Eggzactly." Their daughter agreed. "Dada why is it so dim in here? What is this place?"
"We have a surprise for you. Won't you come with us and see." Prince smiled looking down into her grey eyes.
"I knew you all were up to something." Nailah whispered up to her mother.
