I smiled happily as I held Mehmed in my arms. We were sat in Mahidevran sultan's room so she could see them.

"Sultanim, a royal carriage is on the way and we don't know who's inside of it" I turned to look at Madam who was the one to speak.

"Be careful around them and double up the guards" I ordered. She bowed and left to do her job.

"You should take the kids to your room where it's safer" Mahidevran sultan suggested placing Ibrahim down.

"You're right sultana" I stood up placing Mehmed down. I took the kids to my room and made sure that instead of two maids, three will be staying with them and all of them trained in combat and four guards were at the door.

I walked to the harem and watched from the balcony knowing how dangerous it was for me to go down when the person comes in especially in my condition.

I watched with surprise as Mihrimah sultan walked in with her daughter. I wanted to jump down and strangle her right now and here.

"Brother" she muttered when she was standing in front of Mustafa who I could see was trying hard not to break in front of her.

"I wanted to apologize for what I did, I didn't know they would try to kill you they told me they would be moving you out of my other brothers' way to the throne," she said as tears spilled from her eyes.

"Moving out of the way is killing Mihrimah. You should've known that Mihrimah, and Othman prince is always a crown prince no matter what" Mustafa said back strongly straightening his back.

I looked beside me when I felt a presence to see Ayse, she has been more sociable lately and accepted the fact that Mustafa was not her, to begin with.

"Did the party already begin?" She asked looking up at me. I nodded as my answer and we both turned back to the scene in front of us.

"Mustafa please forgive me I didn't mean for you to almost die" she begged to take his hand into hers. Mustafa sighed but let her hug him as a way of accepting her apology.

"He can never say no to her, huh?" Ayse smirked at me. I smiled and shook my head.

"She's still his sister" I answered back. I looked down at Nargessah who was holding onto her mother's hand.

Mihrimah sultan stayed a while until after I gave birth to my beautiful Suleiman. As the years went on we moved to Manesa and lived there with our children and Mahidevran sultan. I watched with a smile as my kids grew up in front of me to become strong young men.

I chuckled as thirteen years old Beyazid tried pushing fifteen years old Mehmed off of him as they playful fought in the private garden. Mustafa let out a shout of victory as he pushed the sword out of Ibrahim's hand who poured unconsciously.

"Maybe next time my lion," Mustafa said ruffling his hair as they walked over to where I and Mahidevran sultan sat with the girls and Suleiman.

Yenisah was around eleven and she sat on her own pillow which she loved not having to be held by anyone anymore. Suleiman was around ten now and he was sat beside Mahidevran sultan who spoiled him to no end.

"Come here darling" I opened my arms to the sad Ibrahim. He sat down beside me and let fix his hair before getting up and joining his brothers in rolling around the grass laughing happily.

"I pray for this peace to not be disturbed ever again," Mahidevran sultan said. I smiled and turned around to watch Nargessah run over to Mustafa and hug him and he returned her hug. Ayse walked over calmly and sat down beside me after bowing to Mahidevran Sultan and Mustafa.

"How have you been Ayse?" I asked her taking a sip from my cup, letting the sweet taste of juice fill my mouth.

"I've been good sultana" she answered back nicely.

"Mommy" I turned to look at Beyazid who was the one to yell. I gasped when I saw that he was wet from head to toes.

"What happened?" I asked jumping up and walking over to him.

"Mommy, Ibrahim pushed me into the lake," he said pouting as he pointed at the small lake beside the garden.

"Madam take Beyazid and change his clothes" I ordered madam making her run over and usher him away and back to the castle.

"Ibrahim you shouldn't push your brother in the water even if you think it's funny" I scolded turning the boys who were snickering.

"You're not allowed to train with swords for the whole week," I said making him stop snickering and look at me with a pout. Mehmed laughed at his brother.

"You to Mehmed," I said making him too stop laughing and pout.

"Now back to your rooms before I make that two weeks" they scrambled off sadly.

"Wasn't that too harsh darling?" I turned around to look at Mustafa who was the one to speak.

"No, they have to learn to love each other and not bully each other" I answered walking over to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder when I reached him.

"Come with me" he whispered and pulled me away from his mother and Suleiman.

"Where are we going?" I asked wrapping my arm around his waist.

"I heard a while back that there was someone you missed a lot and thought maybe I should let you two meet," he said raising his hand ordering his guards to stop following us.

"Who?" I asked confused as we walked further into the garden to a section I have never been in before.

"Her," he said turning one last time to the left to show someone I haven't seen in years.

"Mom?" I whispered confused feeling tears fill my eyes at the sight of her in front of me in all of her glory dressed in her emerald green dress that I gifted to her when I was still a Christian and celebrated Christmas.
