24 Weeks

Ana woke feeling rested and very glad their bed was so big. She had definitely felt cocooned last night in the center of the bed. Scott and Nicholas were going over some last-minute security concerns with Lucas this morning while Mel helped Ana with her shower. Ana was getting the impression that there was a large press detail following her every movement. She was the driving force behind the charges against Coulter and she was Leana Coulter the lost heir to the Althinian throne.

Ana had chosen a black off the shoulder dress with an empire waist and lightweight sleeves that gathered at her wrists. She remembered to put on a pair of black yoga shorts finished with a pair of black slingback flats. Ana pulled her hair up into a quick loose ponytail and called herself ready.

"Has Nicholas always been so intense?" Mel asked as Ana was finishing getting ready.

Ana laughed aloud with a snort. "You should see him when he's not restricted by doctors' orders."
