a royal crime (Haylen, anyone)

Thomas and Shannon nodded, "Agreed" Thomas replied, "Well, she is meeting a princess" Shannon added

"Yeah, one that's not allowed to carry that title yet." I said. "But she's got a story to tell when we get back and she's got a true knight at home now."

Thomas and Shannon both nodded in reply, "Yes she will" Thomas replied

I smiled a little and then watched them.

Erin was asking Catherine many questions

I shook my head a little and smiled, almost feeling sorry for Catherine, but she seemed fine with answering to Erin. "I think Catherine likes her."

Thomas nodded, "It looks like she does" he replied, Shannon nodded in agreement

I smiled.

after a while, Erin walked back over, a big smile on her face

"Hello, princess." I said when she came back.

Erin giggled, "Catherine is such a cool lady." she said

"I see." I said smiling at her.

Erin smiled and giggled in reply, Thomas was happy for her

So was I. "You're one lucky girl." I said.

"I know" Erin replied, the smile still on her face

I smiled and the gently ruffed her hair.

Erin giggled in reply, she was growing up quick

I giggled a little with her and then looked up at Thomas and Shannon.

Thomas and Shannon smiled back, "You all ready?" Thomas asked

I nodded in reply.

Shannon and the girls did the same, Thomas smiled at them, then led them out of the building

This time I had the twins walking next to me, each girl on one side.

Thomas held Shannon's hand as they walked out, Erin was still beaming from her conversation with Catherine

I smiled a little and then looked at Colleen and Sara.

Colleen and Sara looked at Haylen, "I will say that Catherine is a pretty lady." Colleen said outloud
