The King and Queen of Illea

Chapter eight

Next day

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

America's POV

Today my family is visiting as well as Marlee, and some of the other selected. Tally is with Mary right now, Mary is her appointed nanny. She will join me when the others arrive, but for now I must focus on my work. I am planning for a visit from the Belgian royal family. The queen just gave birth to a prince. Maxon thinks that it is possible that Tally and prince Lars will be married one day.

2 hours later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mother, sisters and niece showed up first. Closely followed by Marlee. I went back to the nursery once I got word that they were here. I picked up Tally, thanked Mary and headed down to the women's room.

May and Marlee rushed toward me the second I was fully through the door. Tally got scared and started to whimper. I rocked her back and forth and hummed a lullaby to soothe her.

"Oh! She is soooo cute Ames! " Whispers May excitedly. Marlee nods in agreement.

"Thank you May. Would you like to hold her?" She nods enthusiastically. I hand Tally to her, she holds her gently and I go sit down by my mother and Kenna. Astra is playing quietly in the corner of the room.

" Hello mom, Kenna. How are you both?" I ask before realizing that I don't have tp be as formal with them.

" I am fine Queen America. How is king Maxon?" Mom, answers teasingly.

"He is fine as well, Kenna you are being very quite is everything ok?"

" Oh yes, yes of course America, I was just lost in thought." Kenna answers quickly. A maid walks in with three ladies trailing her. Natalie, Kriss and Elise have arrived. May gives me back my daughter, and we walk over to them. They gather around me and Tally oohing and awing over her.

We talk and laugh for about an hour before Tally gets hungry and I excuse myself to feed her and get back to work. There is about an hour left before lunch. After feeding Tally. I decide I want to see my husband. I take our sleeping baby in my arms and head to his study. When we arrive I knock on the door. A butler opens it, sees us and smiles ushering us in.

"Hello my royal husbandness, I though you might like a visit from your wife and daughter." I say smiling at Maxon. He smiles back. He walks over to us, he kisses my right temple. Standing behind me, his head rests on my right shoulder and he wraps his arms around us holding us close.

" Well you would be right about that. Can I hold her?" he asks tentatively a small smile forming on his lips.

" Of course Maxon, why would you not be able to hold her? You are already the best father." I say while giving Tally to her father.

" Thank you America. I love you you know."

"I know Maxon. I love you too." Leaning in for a kiss, he obliges and then walks over to his desk and sits down. He looks at Tally and smiles.

" Oh America, I am afraid the visit from the Belgians has been moved to two days earlier than we expected. I hope that won't mess up your plans to much."

"Oh no that will be fine Maxon. Don't worry so much."

" I am sorry my dear, i just want you to be happy and I want to be able to help our daughter grow up," he looks back down to Tally and sighs " I don't want to miss a thing America."
