“Maria, darling are you alright?”

“Oh yes mother I am fine, just thinking.”  I had said as I picked at a piece of bread on my plate.

“About?”

“The baby.  I’ve been feeling quite sick lately and I’m afraid the baby might be hurt.”

“Maybe we should go for a walk this afternoon, maybe go and watch the sun set down by the shore, wouldn’t that be nice?”  Mother sipped at a glass of wine after she said this, she always looks so eloquent when she is drinking her wine.

“Yes mother, we should go, but I think I would like to take a nap now.”

“Okay darling, I will tell the maids to leave you alone for a few hours, just call for me when you wake up and we will go for that walk.”

I walked out of the main dinning hall into a vast hallway filled with paintings of the shores; one of my favorites, given to the palace by a painter by the name of meldocalith was hanging a little lop-sided today.  I would have to remind Meredith to readjust it when I wake up, but for now I must get some rest.  The baby has been acting up lately, and I really do need to get some sleep.  I turned left into my room, the early morning light drifting in through my thick velvet curtains.  I made my way to the huge bay window on the other side of the room.

When I was born, mother had told me that I was born in this very room, and that’s why they gave it to me.  She had told me that when my father died, this was also the room in which he perished.  I guess that is a scary thought but if you ask me I have a sense of safeness when I am in this room.   I and mother haven’t always gotten along.  Even more so when she found out I was having a baby before marriage.  She had disowned me for a while actually, she wouldn’t talk to me for weeks but she had accepted my choice after meeting Mathieu.  She fancies him a magnificent amount.  And sometimes I feel jealous when they are together.  She seems to become quite a flirt with him near, but I know that he loves me more then anything in this world.  I trust him so much and I hope he will propose to me soon.  Well I must be getting off to bed now; I will make sure to write more.

Fondly Maria
