shrugged.
    “Are you going to be okay?” he asked, not sure how to articulate his worries.
    “With being a princess? With facing people like Giannetta, because there’s always someone out there who wants what I have?”
    “Yes, that.”
    “Tell me something, Mich.”
    “No one but you calls me Mich.” He loved her nickname for him.
    “I know.”
    “So?”
    “So, when the doctor said I was measuring small for the due date, did you doubt for even one minute that you are the father of my baby?”
    “Not for even one millisecond,” he promised with all the truth in him. “I love you, Kiki. It happened crazy fast, but you’re it for me, and I’m it for you.”
    She laughed. “No lack of confidence on your part.”
    “Not about this, no.”
    “Then stop worrying about how I’ll handle being Princess of Isole dei Re, or even queen one day. It’s part of the package.”
    “It doesn’t have to be.” He’d meant it when he told her family that he would choose his amazing wife over the crown.
    “I’m not letting you walk away from a job you love. You weren’t just born to be king, you want it.”
    “I do.” He’d never told anyone just how much, but he loved his family and his country with all that he was.
    The only person he loved more was Kiki.
    “I want to be your wife, your other half, whatever that entails.”
    “Besides, it gets you out of running your dad’s company,” he teased.
    Her lips were her only answer. They kissed for a very long time, whispering words of love between them.
    Micheli knew they’d still be saying the words when they hit the twilight of life.
    Love at first sight was supposed to be a myth, but their story wasn’t going to end the way most myths did.
    They were going to live and love happily for the rest of their lives.

    Eight months later when their daughter was born, the spitting image of Micheli’s grandmother, the world rejoiced, but no one more loudly than the royal family of Isole dei Re.
