Part 44
After returning to the palace Liz headed right to the King's office. After being let in she sat down across from her King and father in law.
"Elizabeth, what can I do for you?" Asked Philip
"Did you know that Lord Kivar's daughter Jada is now working as a nurse at the medical center?"
"No. From my understanding she has no business working in that field. Her test scores from her schooling were not high enough to get placed there."
"She also is a cold mean bitch. She use to pick on Serena and others when we were kids."
"So what is she really doing there?"
"Kara believes that she is a spy. That she is gathering information for her father."
"Kara, has always been able to get a good read on these things."
"So she has a reason to worry."
"Yes. Liz, you had an appointment this morning. Is there anything that she may have learned about your health?"
"I am in perfect health. In fact Kara told me my health has only improved since I saw her before my wedding."
"But she did learn something?"
"Yes."
"You're pregnant aren't you?"
Liz just nodded.
"How far?"
"I'm due in about six months."
"This is good news. But news that will wait until after Isabel and Alexander's wedding."
"That would do."
"Don't worry I will handle Lord Kivar and his family."
"Thank you."
"Liz, I want you know that I wish I had known how your father treated you."
"I got use to hiding it. Your Majesty, I could have said something but didn't."
"It is not easy to admit you need help. Liz, I have not been as involved as I would have liked with my children's lives. But when I could, watch them with their friends I did notice that you didn't like asking for help."
"I will be better at that."
"Actually it is a good quality in a queen."
"Do you really believe that?"
"You have met my wife right? Diane has always been very independent, she also like you has a bit of a temper."
"I think I understand what you are saying. Be myself but also not to be afraid to ask or accept help."
"Yes. You are very wise for your age."
Liz smiled knowing that her King would not be telling her that if he didn't feel that it was true.

Serena returned to the garden after coming back from the medical center.
"Is everything OK?"
Serena turned and smiled at Kyle who came up to her still dressed in his uniform from his shift.
"Yes Carolyn, and both babies are fine. Max got there in time." Said Serena
"That is great. I was worried."
"I know. Kyle, Carolyn had the same heart problem that your mother died from. Max repaired it. Both baby girls also had it. But it has been fixed."
"That is great. Serena, is it possible that my kids could have it?"
Serena smiled at her future husband.
"No. Our children will be perfectly healthy."
"Our children? You know?"
"Yes Kyle, I know that we will marry. My sister told me."
"Are you OK with it?"
Serena just smiled and leaned over and placed a kiss on his cheek before turning and walking away.
