Zara: Good morning!
Felicia: Good morning! You're here early, you’re not suppose to be here until 9!
Zara: I know, but I wanted to see you. I enjoy your company very much.
Felicia: Aw, you're too sweet.
Zara: Not at all, Your Majesty.
Zara: How are you today?
Felicia: Let's just say that I am feeling very pregnant.
Zara: In a good way?
Felicia: In the... “I am ready to be done with this”-way.
Zara: I know that feeling! I was over pregnancy very fast while expecting Shiloh.
Felicia: I can only imagine, doing it by yourself must have been hard!
Zara: Ah... Yes...
Felicia: You’re brave, choosing to keep Shiloh despite not having his father in your life. I could never manage that.
Zara: ...
Felicia: Having Alex by my side is the only thing keeping me sane during this predicament.
Felicia: He is the best husband anyone could ever ask for...
Zara: ...
Yulia: Good morning, Your Majesty; Your Royal Highness!
Polina: Good morning.
Felicia: Good morning, girls!
Zara: Hello.
Felicia: Shall we get started with today?
Yulia: After you, Your Majesty.
Felicia: Yes, just one moment please... And I oop..!
Zara: Here, Felicia, let me help you!
Felicia: Not at all, I can manage..!
Felicia: I am not helpless, you know!
Zara: Haha, sorry..!
Felicia: No need! I know you only wanted to help!
Felicia: You’re so sweet, Zara.
Zara: Thank you, Your Majesty.
Zara: ... Thank you very much.

Polina: This is beautiful! Where did you get it, Your Majesty?
Felicia: Oh, that! I got it from my husband!
Polina: It's stunning!
Felicia: Hehe, I’ll tell him you said so!
---
Yulia: Oooh this dress is gorgeous!
Felicia: Thank you! It was a gift from Alexander too! I was suppose to wear it for the parade on Saturday, but it won’t fit now, haha!
Felicia: Oh, did I show you the engagement set he gave me? It’s my favorite!
Yulia: Oh my gosh, please!! I’d love to see it!
Zara: ...
---
Felicia: Wow, I am craving a break.
Yulia: Me too, Your Majesty.
Felicia: Maybe we should rest our feet in my drawing room for a bit.
Yulia: Wonderful idea.
Felicia: For some reason, I’m craving scones...
Yulia: Same. With strawberry jam.
Felicia: Yum! Let’s ask the kitchen to make us some.
Zara: !
Polina: Would you like me to tell a servant to inform the kitchen, Your Majesty?
Felicia: That would be very nice of you, Polina.
Polina: I’ll get right to it-
Zara: I'll do it!
Felicia: Hm?
Felicia: Zara, you’ve been on your feet the entire day, I am sure Polina can manage.
Zara: Absolutely! But I would love to grab some fresh air, so I can handle it on the way outside.
Felicia: Oh, okay! Thank you, Zara.
Zara: No need, Your Majesty!
Felicia: See you soon!
Zara: Goodbye!
Zara: ...
---
Alexander: That sounds great, thank you.
Alexander: Yes, that is just what I want. White gold. Great, I’ll see you tomorrow, goodbye.
Zara: Xander!
Alexander: Yes?

It would have been a nice bonus if Felix answered himself, but I can't hold back my grin when I see Felicia's face on the screen.
I carefully hold Will up to the camera. "Hey, Auntie Felicia, look who's here!"
Her face lights up. "Oh Kenzie, he's precious! Congratulations." We chat for a few minutes, and she promises to pass the news - and the pictures - to Felix as soon as possible.

I see just a split-second of surprise in Felicia's eyes before she gives us a wide, brilliant smile.
"Kenzie dear, that's wonderful news!" she says, and then turns on that easy Aldrich charm; it draws Malia in as quickly as it did me, and soon they're chatting away like old friends.
After a long chat, and assuring herself that Pomegranate and I are doing fine, Felicia promises to check back in a few weeks. Then she signs off and I tuck the phone back away.
Malia makes a thoughtful sound. "Okay, if the brother is like her, I guess I understand why you asked him to be daddy."
There's still a little hesitation in her tone, but only time - and me loving her - will resolve that, I think.
