Eva and Paulo sat on the couch in the sitting room with a large laptop screen pulled up in front of them. Eva had scheduled a virtual meeting with all of her family back in Norway that couldn't be here in person and Paulo's mother and sisters and Astrid came in and sat down on the couches across from them.

She smiled at them and said, "We're just waiting for everyone to join the live meeting."

A minute later she saw a square pop up in the meeting and her father and mother were sitting there behind his desk and another square popped up and it was Astrid's Mom.

She waved and said, "Hi guys! Thanks for joining! We're just waiting for Kristoff."

"Oh ummmm. Kristoff texted me a minute ago and said he's running a little late," Astrid told her.

Eva thought it was strange that her twin brother would text Astrid about him being late instead of her.

A couple minutes later Kristoff came in through the door saying, "I'm so sorry I'm late. I got stuck in traffic. What did I miss?" he asked, taking off his suit jacket and sitting down next to Astrid and looking over at her with a smile. He leaned in and they were whispering for a second until Kristoff noticed Eva watching them and then they stopped.

"Nothing. We were waiting on you. Mom and Dad are in the live meeting so we can get started now," Eva said, clearing her throat.

"Paulo's mom and sisters are here and so are Astrid and Kristoff. Wave!" she told her family as she turned the camera towards them and they all waved and said hi.

"Astrid! You cut off your long hair!" Astrid's Mom gasped, looking at the modern bob on Astrid's red hair. "I love it. You look gorgeous!"

"Yes she does," Kristoff whispered low enough that he probably thought nobody could hear it, smiling over at Astrid and seeing the way Astrid smiled back at him shyly gave Eva the distinct feeling something was going on between the two of them. She made a mental note to ask her about it later.

"So what's this big important meeting about?" Eva's Mom asked, as she turned the camera back to her and Paulo.

She looked over and said, "Paulo, why don't you tell them?"

He smiled proudly and said, "Ok. Well Eva has been really sick, run down and tired. We were getting really worried that something was seriously wrong with her so she went to the doctor and had a bunch of tests run and some blood tests."

"Okay," her Mom said, looking over at her Dad with worry.

"We got the results back and it turns out that," he said, looking around the room at everyone before saying with a huge smile. "Eva's pregnant."

Eva stood up and lifted the baggy shirt she had on and showed them her round baby bump that was already forming with a huge smile on her face.

There were gasps and screams heard around the room and Paulo's Mom flew up out of her chair and rushed over, giving Paulo and Eva both a tight hug as she started sobbing. His sisters, her brother and Astrid got up and gave both of them a hug too and Eva looked at the screen and saw her Mom and Dad both crying, hugging each other and Astrid's Mom was in tears too.

"Wait. We haven't told you the best part yet. Tell them Paulo," she urged, with a smile.

"We're having twins," he said, and the room and the meeting erupted with shouts and cheers again.

Eva spoke up and said, "They have a blood test that can tell the gender and we got the results back. It turns out we're going to have two heirs to the throne at once. It came back that they're both boys!"

"What?!" her Mother and his mother both shouted at the same time in shock. They were all crying and there were more hugs and congratulations.

After everyone had finally started to calm down Paulo looked over at Eva and said, "I actually have a surprise for you too Eva."

"You do?" she asked, scrunching her eyebrows.

"Yeah," he smiled. He reached into his pocket and got out a little black box and stepped back and got down on one knee.

"What are you doing?" she asked with a laugh. "We're already married."

He held her hand and looked up into her eyes and said, "I know how important having your dream wedding was to you and how disappointed you were that you had to marry someone you weren't in love with. I want us to have a do-over. I want to renew our vows and you can plan the entire thing so you'll get exactly the wedding you've always wanted. And this time, you're going to have a groom that loves you more than anything in the world and when I say those vows this time I'm going to mean every word."

Hearing him say that made her eye burn and she blinked away the tears.

"What do you say Eva? Will you marry me again?"

She gave him a soft smile and said, "Yes, Paulo. I would love to marry you again."

He stood up and hugged his arms around her and gave her a soft kiss, before pulling her into a hug as their family and friends cheered and clapped. Paulo stepped back and slid the most beautiful ring onto her finger that she had ever seen and she smiled up at him and said, "It's beautiful."

There was a knock at the door and Paulo grinned and said, "Why don't you go answer that?"

She scrunched her eyebrows up and looked at him and wondered who it could be. She got up and walked across the room and nervously opened the door and there on the other side was Emma Standish, her favorite romance novel author. She was in her 30's with long redish blonde hair and she was short and voluptuous with a pair of black dark rimmed glasses.

Eva's mouth hung open in shock and she gasped, covering her mouth with wide eyes as she just stared at her. She couldn't believe this was real.

Emma smiled and gave her a wave and said, "Hi. I'm Emma."

"Oh I know who you are," Eva laughed. "I love your books. You're amazing."

Paulo walked over to Eva's side and slid a hand around her waist. "I invited Emma here because I wanted her to write a book about our love story."

"Really?" Eva gasped. She looked up at Paulo and her heart melted. "Awww. I love you so much. This is the best surprise ever," she said, giving him a hug and whispering, "Thank you" before giving him a soft kiss on the lips.

Emma came in and sat down and the family stayed in the room visiting and chatting for a while. Eva looked over and noticed Kristoff whispering in Astrid's ear and she was giggling. She couldn't hold it back anymore.

"What's going on with you two?" she asked, and it took a minute for Astrid and Kristoff to realize she was talking to them. Kristoff looked at her and hesitated before looking at Astrid and she nodded and whispered something to him.

He stood up and said, "Well, ummm. With everyone here I guess this would be a good time to tell everybody," he said, looking down at Astrid with a smile. "Astrid and I are together now. I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes," he said, reaching down and sliding his hand into hers and she smiled up at him with love in her eyes.

Eva gasped and she heard her Mom gasp on the laptop behind them.

"What?!" Eva said. She turned back and looked at her parents shocked faces on the screen.

"Kristoff. You should've spoken to us about this first," their Mom said. "You know marrying Astrid is not an option, so all you're going to do is break her heart. Why put the poor girl through that?"

Kristoff looked at them and then back to Astrid and said, "Because I love her. I don't care if she's not a princess. She's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"No," their Dad said in his deep gruff voice. "You've known ever since you were born that you were going to have an arranged marriage so you shouldn't have even started something with Astrid. Your mother has already started arranging your marriage to the princess from Belgium. You need to say your goodbyes and get on a plane back home tonight."

"No," Kristoff said, shaking his head.

"I'm sorry. For some reason you thought that was a question. Get home tonight," his Dad said forcefully in his loud booming voice and then the screen went dark.

Eva sat there looking at her brother and then over at Astrid, still in shock and Astrid's eyes were filling with tears as she hugged her arms around him and cried against his chest.

The ironic part was that Kristoff had given Eva such a hard time when she wanted to get out of having an arranged marriage and now here he was doing the same thing. She couldn't help but feel bad for him though, and for Astrid. She looked so broken hearted.

"Mom's right you know," Eva said, letting out an exhale. "You shouldn't have started something with Astrid when you knew you couldn't be with her Kristoff. Now you've broken her heart."

She stepped forward and pulled both of them into a hug and Kristoff raised his head with tears in his eyes, cleared his throat and said, "I guess I better get back to Norway then." He gave Eva a hug and kiss on the cheek saying, "Congratulations on the babies. I'm really happy for you." Then he stood there, looking at Astrid for a few seconds with pain in his eyes and a hint of a smile before finally turning around and walking away, out through the door.

Astrid grabbed Eva and sobbed against her shoulder and Eva whispered, "I'm so sorry Astrid."

She lifted her watery eyes and looked up at Eva. "I'm so glad I'm living here in Spain with you. Being far away from Norway sounds really good right now."

Eva gave her a sympathetic smile and said, "Well I'll be glad to have you here." She looked down at her stomach and said, "And the babies will be too. They can call you Auntie Astrid." She felt so happy that she was going to be having twins and that her best friend would be around for it, but she was broken hearted for her and her brother though.

Astrid smiled and said, "Yeah, I'd like that. I'm so happy for you guys," she sniffled, stepping forward and hugging her best friend before turning around and walking away.

Eva looked over at Paulo and he was giving her a warm smile with love in his eyes as he stepped forward and laid his hands on her belly. He looked really happy and he smiled at her and said, "Do you have any idea how beautiful you look with a bump on your belly because you're carrying my babies?"

"Our babies," she laughed, smacking his chest and giving him a smile. "But thank you. I don't feel very beautiful right now."

"Well you are," he whispered, pulling her into a hug and kissing the side of her head. "You're more beautiful now than you've ever been."
