The Icing

France
Two years later
Mary's point of view
I was baking Christmas cookies with James and Madelyn in the kitchen. "Mommy Madelyn is eating all the icing." James giggled, I looked over at Madelyn and she had her whole hand in the bowl. "Madelyn!" I smiled "Mommy it's yummy." She giggled "Let me have some." I smiled, she put her finger in the bowl and then put it in my mouth, I made a biting noise. She pulled her finger away and giggled "You can share the icing with your brother, I will make a new batch." I smiled "Mommy when can we decorate? I want to make a sword cookie." He smiled, he is obsessed with war lately. "Maybe you could make a snowman or a Santa clause." I smiled "Can we go outside and make a snowman?" He smiled "After we're done with cookies." I smiled "Where is Daddy?" She asked "He has important business to attend to." I said "Like What?" He asked "Important things." I smiled, running the country behind his fathers back. I got the cookies out of the oven. I made another batch of icing. I spilt sprinklings, different colored icing, and decorating tools in three separate piles. "Ready?" I smiled "Ready!" They smiled, I started decorating my cookies and I looked over at Madelyn who was dipping her cookie in the icing. "Mads" I said "Sorry Mommy." She giggled, I looked over at James and he was also dipping his hand in the icing. "What am I going to do with you two?" I giggled "Get is lots of presents for Christmas." She smiled, her teeth were full of icing. "Mommy please tell us what we're getting for Christmas." James said "Well what are you guys getting me for Christmas?" I smiled "Daddy says we're not allowed to tell you." She giggled "Madelyn sweetheart, what is it?" I smiled bending down to her eye level. "It's a-" James cut her off and put his hand over her mouth. "James!" I smiled "I'm sorry mommy." He smiled "So are we done with cookies?" I smiled "Yes, let's go show daddy!" They smiled "Okay let me put them on a tray." I said, I put them all on the tray. "Okay we can show your father then we need to go to bed." I said "Okay Mommy." She smiled, we walked to my chambers and Francis was doing work at his desk. "Daddy!" Madelyn ran to him. "Oh hello my love." He smiled picking her up. "We made cookies!" James smiled "Really?" He smiled at me. I held up the tray of messed up cookies. "They worked very hard on them Francis." I said "Yeah Francis." She giggled "Francis." James giggled, Francis threw them both over his shoulder then ran over to the bed and threw them on it. "you two should call me dad until your as big as your mom and I." He smiled "Francis Francis Francis." They giggled "No cookies if you call me Francis." He smiled "I'm sorry daddy I'll call you daddy for the rest of my life." Madelyn hugged him. "Oh my little princess." He kissed the top of her head "I will call you dad too." James hugged him "Okay let's get cookies before it's time for bed." He smiled, they went over to the couch and sat down. "Mommy can we sleep in here tonight?" Madelyn asked "Sure." I said "I'll go get their night clothes." Francis said "Thank you." I smiled, he walked out. He came back a few minutes later, Francis changed Madelyn and I changed James. They got in our bed then I went to the bathroom. I started washing off my make up. "Hello." Francis smiled closing the door. "Hello." I smiled "Those cookies were very good." He smiled "Why thank you, you have our daughter's spit in your icing." I giggled "Yummy." He smiled then kissed me. "Untie my corset?" I smiled "Of course." He smiled, he flipped me around and pulled me into him. He kissed my neck as he untied my corset. "Okay I'm good now." I smiled then put my night gown on. "All tricks and no treats?" He smiled "Yep." I giggled "Well will you untie my corset?" He smiled "No." laughed, I walked out and got in bed. Francis came out a few minutes later and got on the other side of the bed. James and Madelyn were in the middle of us. "I want to have another baby." I said "Really?" He asked "Yes." I smiled "Me too." He smiled, I held his hand. "I love you." I smiled "I love you too." He smiled
