Canon) Omake

This was mostly written before the Wedding Chapter, so probably didn't actually happen.

But you can't deny the power of Smol Weaponized Adorable.

A quiet knock at the door interrupted the conversation as one of Katrina's nursemaids came in with a sleepy toddler in tow.

"Forgive me, My Lady. Her sister woke her and she wanted her father to tell her a story."

"That's all right, Rose, I'll take her." Katrina gathered up her daughter. "Melissa, your father and your Uncle Mark are still out and probably hustling Prince Ian, his brother Hanse and his friends out of every pound they have right now."

Melissa nodded and curtsied as much as she could while sitting in her mother's lap, "Guten Abend."

She then turned to Natasha. "Are you going to get married too, Tante Tasha?" she said with perfect seriousness, as only a two year old Princess could.

"What?"

"You're going to marry Uncle Mark, right? That means you're my Tante Tasha."

"I..." Natasha just sat there stunned, her face going through a host of emotions no Trueborn would have ever shown, She thought about Johnny, who'd become truly happy with his new life with the Marksman, before laying her hands on her stomach. 

She got up and kneeled in front of Melissa. "If you had asked me that yesterday, I would have said no. But that was before I saw the doctor this morning." Tears started welling in her eyes. "Before I found out I was pregnant with your cousin. So yes, Melissa, I want to be your Tante Tasha..."

"YAY!" Melissa jumped out and hugged her with all the passion and innocence that only a child could give.

Happy Mother's Day folks.
