16 Good night, Mommy.

"I'd love to, Mommy".

Vivianne's heart was filled with honey and music when she heard him. Since her face was covered no one could see it. She ushered all the children to their room as she said, "Go fresh up and come down. I have brought desserts and I'm going to cook for all of you."

The school permitted Vivianne, as she is a Queen. As the children went out, Vivianne went to the kitchen then she started to check the stock in there. She planned few dishes suited for kids and some dishes for the high school students and the generals who came with her.

General Steve Clarke was her childhood friend, he came to the kitchen with another general. They helped her with slicing the vegetables and other stuff. General Steven asked her, "So the red one was your first son?"

Vivianne nodded with satisfaction, "Yep, he is so cute and smart, right? Just like his father!"

General Steve replied, "I see" The other guard was third in command, his name is Zack Hellen. General Zack asked, "He and our Prince Carlisle looks alike". Vivianne jumped excitedly and asked, "Yeah, Right! That is what I thought too! Oh I really want to kidnap him to Magnolia".

General Steve said concernly, "My lady, remember you are in the kitchen. Don't jump here, you may hurt yourself". Vivianne replied with smile, "Fine! Whatever, I am so happy today".

The kids came as she was washing the vegetables. She told all the servants to go to home. Charles came to kitchen and asked, "Do you need any help, Mommy?" Vivianne was in a bliss, she said while she squatted down, "It's okay, Darling. Go and watch Tv with others. I will bring the dessert in a minute."

Charles nodded with a smile and walked to the living room. Vivianne suddenly called him, "Darling, come here for a minute!" Charles came back on hearing her words and asked, "What is it, Mommy?" She caressed his cheeks and said, "Can you do me a favour?"

Charles nodded his head without hesitation. She said to him with a big smile, "Can you take care of your sister and brother, Carl and Chris for me? They might get homesick. This is the first time they are away from home. Can you be a responsible Big brother for them, sweety?"

Charles was so happy to hear her words, he replied with his cutest smile, "Sure, Mommy!" Vivianne gave him a big hug and said, "Good boy! Mommy will give you anything you want. What do you want, ask me?"

Charles thinked about what he wanted and then he said, "Can you sing a song for me?" Vivianne smiled and said, "Why not? I will sing for you to sleep today." Charles nodded his head, Vivianne gave him a big hug again and a kiss on his forehead through her shawl.

When Vivianne came out with two trays of cake and pies wearing an apron, she saw other dorm members. She introduced herself to them. Suddenly, all the three stood up and went one knee. Harry said with his head looking down, "It is an honour to meet you, your majesty".

Vivianne kept the snacks in the table. General Steve came out with hot chocolate in an another tray. He saw the scene and thought, 'The kids are taught very good, at such young age.'

Vivianne went to them and kneeled down near them, she touched Harry's head and said, "Its alright, Sweetheart. Stand up all you".

Three of them looked amazed, this was not the intimidating woman they have heard of. All the three of them stood up, Vivianne too. Then they moved to the sofa. Vivianne sat next to Klay, as Carl and Chris were leaning on Charles.

She said to them, "You can call me Izzy, If you want. I have told those two to call me Mommy. If you guys also called me Mommy, I will feel too old!" All of them started to laugh, then Vivianne said, "Kids should always be like this, Got it? I am here as my kids mother not as a queen.

You are all my kids too, don't need any formalities okay? Be at ease. And thank you everyone for taking care of my children". All of them nodded.

Gloria said with great admiration, "I have heard your speeches, mam. You are my inspiration. The way you run your country is something else. Stacey here, has seen you once on your coronation, trust me she is a very much silent type. She talked about you for months.

After hearing about you we all fell for you, mam. But we couldn't find your photo on the internet. Later my father told, only those who visit magnolia can see you. Your picture doesn't travel outside Magnolia. I'm very much intrigued to see you in person, mam. But your eyes alone proves your beauty".

Vivianne said with a smile, "Thank you, you flatter me sweety. And it is, Izzy. It is great to know such young people like me. Seriously, Thank you. You all should come to Magnolia once. How about this? for the Summer Vacation all of you come to Magnolia. I will talk with your principal, okay?"

The quiet Stacey spoke this time, "That is really great, Ms. Izzy. I have heard the flora is abundant in Magnolia. I study about medicines." Vivianne smiled and said, "Sure, sweety. Our country has a long winter season so the rainfall is more. We have a good floral biosphere. And once again, it is Izzy".

Chris said excitedly, "Brother, did you here that. We will spend the summer vacation together with everyone here. Yah!!!!" Charles nodded and patted Chris's head. Then Vivianne went into the kitchen, Gloria and Stacey followed for her.

They talked a lot, Vivianne is 23 yrs old now. But she never went to school, she only had private tuition. Talking to Gloria and Stacey made her like going to high school again. On the living room, Gen. Steve and Gen. Zack was having a good time with the kids.

The twins were attached to Steve, since he was there from their birth. Charles liked him too, as he treated Charles like the twins. Harry was having a technical conversation with Zach.

After that Vivianne served all the kids. She filled them upto their neck. She treated everyone equally.

Then everyone played some indoor games in the living room together. Zack cheated and was caught by Charles. Steve gave him a sound beating, they all laughed. Chris yawned and everyone felt sleepy too. Vivianne bid farewell to everyone as she will leave early in the morning.

Everyone loved her, then Vivianne carried Chris in her hands to Chris's room. Then she called all the four children to Chris's room. The generals brought the bed in Carl's room to Chris's room. Together all four of lied down with Vivianne in the centre.

Then Vivianne sang to them, Charles felt everything about her familiar, nostalgic. Her voice was the same as her mother's. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Vivianne, her eyes and song was enough for him recognize his mother.

Vivianne asked gently as she saw Charles open his eyes, "What it is sweetheart?". He shaked his head and said, "Good night, Mommy". Vivianne's face became bright, she leaned over to give him kiss on the forehead. Then she whispered, "Good night, Darling".

Charles brushed his thoughts off as he didn't have much evidence regarding this. He silently wished her to be his mother though. Then he decide to enjoy the moment.

The four kids soon fell asleep. Vivianne stood up from the bed without disturbing the kids, she gave all the four a kiss on the forehead and headed out. Then she boarded her private plane to Magnolia.
