Kapitel 263: Chapter 263
"Erik, oh my goodness! This place is incredible!" Pearl said, walking around their private suite. There was also a private beach, along the Indian Ocean, just for them.
They were staying on north island, very secluded. Their suite had it's own pool and hot tub. They had no need to leave their own private villa.
The room was beautiful with an oversized king four post bed with netting, and open walls that looked out onto the beach.
"This reminds me of the island honeymoon in the movie Twilight." Pearl said, laughing.
"This is nicer." Erik said, winking.
"Come here." He whispered, taking her hand and pulling her to him.
"We haven't even toured the villa and island yet?" Pearl said.
"We may make time for that later, but I want you in this bed and am going to keep you in this bed, until I have had my fill of you." He said, looking into her eyes.
"Won't that be a waste of a good island and beach?" Pearl asked.
"No, not even a little." He said, putting his arms around her and kissing her.
******************
Their week long island retreat had been incredible. In between the love making, they had managed to go snorkeling and spend some time resting in the sun. It was perfect. They were away from responsibilities, press, everyone. Pearl didn't want it to end. A part of her wanted to keep him all to herself. Everything about them felt normal and perfect there. Just them, no one else. It almost made her resent the fact that he was a prince.
"All packed?" Erik asked.
"Yes." Pearl said, sadly.
"We will come back here someday. We will always make sure we have time for this, for us." He said, putting his arm around her.
She smiled and nodded. She knew that promise might be half true, but it was said with love and she could feel it.
*****************
"Erik! You are back. How was the honeymoon?" His father asked as they made their way into Buckingham Palace.
"It was so unbelievably perfect, I almost forgot who I was." Erik said, a bit sarcastically.
His father half smiled and nodded. They had been back in England for a few days getting settled and catching up on the jet lag, but now it was time for them to get back to work. The couple they had given the wedding to was flying in for an interview with several news outlets since it had been leaked. One of the major outlets wanted Erik and Pearl to be there as well. Erik's father thought this would be wonderful to talk about.
In three weeks, the band's American tour is set to begin and Erik had decided he was going to be present for as much of it as possible. They had decided to shorten it slightly. Two months and 26 cities. It was going to be brutal but it would be over before Pearl began to obviously show her pregnancy.
They were going to make the announcement in two weeks, and were fairly certain that if the public put it together that she had been pregnant before the wedding, they wouldn't mind so much. Societal norms had changed and they were just excited to have their baby be born healthy and happy.
***************
"I hear you are planning on renovating the large apartment at Kensington and moving there before the baby is born." Frances said, smiling.
"We will be moving there after the baby is born. We want to spend the first month or so at Highgrove House, in the country, getting to know her." Erik said.
"I see." Frances said, she seemed a little disappointed that they wouldn't be close that first month to her.
"You can stay with us if you'd like." Pearl said.
"Really?" Frances asked. "I wouldn't want to be an imposition." She said.
"Nonsense. You will be a help. And it's your first grandchild, why shouldn't you be there?" Pearl said, smiling. Erik looked at Pearl and nodded with love. He hadn't been close to his mother since he was a small boy, after his ability to be close to anyone took her from him. He saw Pearl's hope for that to be healed and maybe this was a chance to do that.
