The Prince and the Maid

Chapter 47

Grace pov
It was two days before Faith's christening. But today I was going to visit my girls.

The car stopped and I got out and carried Faith's car seat, Faith sitting secure in the seat. I took my bag and walked up to the porch. I unlocked the door and went in. "Hello?" I called. "Grace," some of the girls screamed. They bounded to the front door from the comers of the house. I put Faith down and hugged my girls. "I've missed you all so much," I said as I hugged them. Dina and Nevaeh had taken Faith to the living room. "Careful with her," I Said. I hugged the girls and went into the living room after Faith. Dina and Nevaeh were sitting on the floor in front of the car seat."she's precious," Dina said. "Thank you," I said going over and sitting between them.

I took Faith out and held her. "Exclusive on Princess Diana." Maureen said. "We're actually going to call her Faith," I said. "But why haven't the media been told that?" Ren asked. "We only recently decided to change it." I said. The girls came in and sat in sat circle. I let them each hold Faith.We chatted a while, they wanted to know what I'd been doing.

Then the sound of shattering came from behind me, I leaned forwards to protect Faith. I felt a few shards hit me. I sat up, glass was all around us, Dina was laying on the floor a brick next to her. "Call 999," I said. Angie and my friend/substitute Jessy came down the steps. "What happened?" Angie asked. Ren was staring out the window, I got up and looked to see what she was looking at. Her father was standing on the street, he darted down the street. "Girls go upstairs," I said. They didn't, I held Faith close to me. She was fast asleep. I kissed her forehead. I went over to Dina, she was still out cold. I saw the brick on the floor, I felt something by my eye, I wiped it away, I looked at my hand and saw blood. I wiped it on my pants. Sirens wailed down the street. An ambulance and a police car pulled up outside. I started going around to the other girls and making sure they were alright. Majority were just shaken up. Angie went out and greeted the paramedics. I pulled my phone out and called Harry. "Hello darling," he said. "Hey Harry, somethings happened." I said. "What? Are you alright? Is Faith alright?" He asked. "I've got a few cuts but Faith is fine. Harry I know I'm on leave but I need to come back to work, the girls need me, and I need them to be safe." I said. I went back to the living room, Dina was being loaded on a stretcher, Nevaeh was being treated for her cuts. A paramedic pulled a shard out of her scalp. I went over to them. "Are you alright Nevy?" I asked. "She'll be fine, Miss." The paramedic said. Jessy left with Dina. Angie was talking to an officer. "Grace, come here." She waved me over. "What's your name miss?" The officer asked. "Grace Miller, yes as in the princess." I said. They stared at me for a second. "so what happened?" The other officer asked, he had a bit of a welsh accent. "Well I had came to visit the girls, and to let the see Faith. While I was hugging all the girls two of them, Nevaeh and Dina, had taken Faith into the living room in her car seat. So when I was done hugging, I went in and sat between them. The other girls came in and sat in a circle like they always do after a long time of me not being here. They wanted an update on my life outside the magazines. So I let them each hold Faith, and then we started talking. Next thing I know glass is coming from the window behind me. I asked the girls if they were alright, before I noticed Ren staring out the broken window. I looked out and saw her father who is supposed to not come with in a hundred yards of the house and Ren. He ran when he saw me." I said. "Thank you, your highness." The welsh one said. I nodded. "Grace your bleeding," Angie said. A paramedic called my over and started treating my cuts.

A car stopped outside, and my favorite ginger got out and came to the door. "Please my wife's inside." I heard him say at the door. "Harry!" I called. "Grace," he pushed past the officer and came in, the paramedic working on me put a butterfly bandage over the cut by my eye. He let me getup and hug Harry. "Are you two alright?" He asked. "We're fine," I said. He took Faith from me. The paramedic asked if her could finish working before he had to leave. I sat back down and let him work while telling Harry what happened.

When the remainder paramedics left. I stayed with Angie to give her a hand. Harry and Faith also stayed. Majority of the girls were shaken up.

"Grace go home, I can handle the girls the rest of the night." Angie said. "Alright but call me if anything happens," I said. "You know I will." She said. Harry put Faith in her car seat which I had cleared of glass. Harry took Faith out to his car, I followed him and walked around to the passenger seat. I got in. "They need a new place." I said. "And are you willing to buy them a new home?" Harry asked. "I am, I think I found me something to do while I'm on leave." I smiled. "Alright," Harry said.
