Your POV

Time seemed to fly by these past couple of months. Between Harry and I becoming engaged. Making announcements to our parents and the kingdoms, time seemed to escape me. Of course our parents were more than please that he chose me to be his wife, we've immediately began preparations for our wedding. It was very clear our parents wanted us to wed as soon as possible, though I was ready for this new chapter I also wasn't ready. I felt that there were things that still needed to be handled but I kept these thoughts to myself. Afraid they would back fire on me, leaving everyone thinking I was getting cold feet. Instead I sat there staring blankly at the hors d'oeuvres and entree samples top chefs from all around the world had prepared for us. A lot of questions began to bubble in my brain, and a few questions began to make me wonder if every future queen felt this way as well.

"Sweetheart, are you ok? Do you need a break sweetheart", my mom asked breaking my train on thought.

"Um, that would be nice", I said getting up simultaneously and heading out for fresh air.

I leant against one of the pillars outside as I over looked the beautiful garden. It was one of the most beautiful gardens I had ever seen and one of my favorite parts of the castle. I kept taking deep breaths trying to ease my overworking mind. I had to get used to this though, this was going to be my life to death due Harry and I apart.

"Everything ok love?", my mom came out to join me.

"Yeah but I'm feeling unsure", I finally admitted.

"Unsure? Why?", my mom slung an arm around my waist.

"Is it bad that I don't know if I love Harry yet. I don't regret accepting his proposal and I don't regret this but I'm just unsure if I love him", I say honestly to my mom.

"It is normal sweetie, it took me while to have feelings for your father", she comforted me.

"Really?", I looked up at her.

"Yes, we as women are put in precarious situations and we have to be strong to weather the storm. This feelings will come, the important thing is that you know you care for him deeply. That's the start of love, just focus on planning your wedding and enjoying every moment", she explained.

"Thanks mom. For everything, everything you've done for me, I don't know what I would have done without you", I said testy eyed pulling my mom into a hug.

"You've made me so proud daughter, and how I can't believe you've grown up into such a beautiful young lady. Now you are soon to be queen, there is nothing more I can ask for. I love you daughter", my mom kissed my cheeks and squeezed me.

"Shall we go back in, we shouldn't keep Anne waiting", I giggled.

"Let's go love", my mom chuckled pulling me with her.

The rest of the afternoon was spent planning for our wedding, cakes, and food. Finally I retired for the night, completely exhausted from all the decision making I had to do for our wedding. Dragging myself up to my room, I shut my door behind me and leant against it in pure exhaustion.

"Hello beautiful", a voice startled me.

"Harry!! You scared me!!", I nearly screamed at him.

"Sorry baby girl, I just had to come see you", Harry laughed and walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Don't do it again", I painted placing my hand over my heart.

"I won't. I promise. Now how was planning our wedding?", he asked still holding me.

"Exhausting", I mumbled into his shoulder.

"Wanna sleep?", he asked causing me to nod my head against his shoulder.

"Come one, let's go to sleep", he suggested pulling me towards my bed.

"Together?", I question raising a brow at him.

"Gotta practice love, when we become husband and wife this will happen every single day", he wiggled his brows at me.

"Fine, as long as you promise to behave", I wiggled my finger at him.

"I promise, but after you say I do I won't be able to keep that promise love", he held his hands up in defense.

"And whys that", I asked aggravated placing my hands on my hips exhausted.

"Because there's nothing stopping me from completely ravishing you".
