Isla Richards
Today Will and Kate were coming home from their honeymoon and I couldn't be more excited to see my best friends.
I stood with Harry and Prince Phillip as he waiting for Kate and Will to walk through the doors.
"Calm down Isla." Prince Phillip said as he patted my shoulder. The doors then opened and in came Kate and Will who rushed over to us.
"Oh! I'm so happy you guys are back." I said as I hugged Will first.
"Has my brother been annoying you that much?" Will asked earning me to laugh and his brother to shove him. We all broke apart and Will hugged his grandfather while Kate bowed.
"We are happy you two have returned safely. Remember tomorrow is the Colour of the Troops. Be ready." Phillip said and I found myself looking down.
"Is Isla allowed to come?" Will asked and Phillip shook his head.
"No, Elizabeth said only married couples," Phillip said as he sent me a small smile.
"It's alright. Maddy is picking me up later one and I'm going to spend the weekend in her summer home in Oxford." I explained with a smile.
"It's not fair. You were there last year." Will said and Phillip nodded.
"True but you have married now William. That is why she is changing it. My apologies Ducky. Give your sister in law my hellos." Phillip said before he nodded to us and began walking away. Kate turned to me and I smiled.
"I am truly fine. I am just happy to see you both before I have to leave later." I said as I held Kate's hand.
"We both went last year. Just because I got married doesn't make sense to change it." Kate complained and I laughed as I patted her hand.
"You will fine. Just don't trip." I said and Will chuckled.
"I'll hold her hand. Do you need help packing? How long are you staying with them?" He asked as we started making our way to our apartments.
"I'll be back Monday afternoon. Can you three survive without me until I come back?" I asked as Harry unlocked the door and we all walked in.
"I might have to call you when I don't know what I'm wearing," Kate said making me laugh before I walked over to my room and pulled out my small suitcase as Harry grabbed my duffle bag.
"You are going for two and a half days! Do you need this many clothing?" Will asked as he took the suitcase from me.
"Yes. My nephews birthday is Sunday so I need two outfits since we are having a water party and then for later on at the bonfire. I need pajamas, underclothes, and other things." I said as I plopped down next to Kate and rested my head on her shoulder.
"So did you fight Granny on Isla not coming?" Will asked as he sat across from us and his brother sat beside him.
"Yes, I did. And because of that, she suggested that Isla goes away for the weekend." Harry explained and the newlyweds quickly turned my way.
"Really? Granny told you that?" Will asked and I nodded.
"Yes, she had Phillip come and tell me yesterday. I called Maddy right after and she said yes. I was supposed to go anyways for Theo's birthday." I explained and I laughed as Kate whined.
"Not fair! You are always there when we have major events. Does this mean you can't come to Christmas Service?" She asked and I shrugged.
"Most likely no. But if I can't I'll spend the morning with Maddy and Theo. I've missed a year already with them." I said but Harry cleared his throat.
"You'll be there at night right. You and Kate are always there." He said and I smiled.
"Of course I'll be there darling. I love seeing all your family." I confirmed with a laugh before a knock came to the door and a guard peaked his head in.
"Ms. Richards your sister in law is outside waiting for you." The guard said making me nod as I stood up.
"Tell her I'm coming. Thank you." I said as the guard nodded his head and closed the door.
"Do you have to leave?" Kate asked making me smile as I grabbed my purse.
"Yes, I don't want no problems with Her Majesty," I said as Harry grabbed my bags and the four of us began making our ways to the front of the castle. Harry handed my things over to a guard who would bring them to Maddy's Rover.
"I'll miss you," Harry said as he leaned over and kissed me softly.
"You can text me. Or call. It's just for a couple of days. Please behave." I said and he nodded before kissing me again.
"I love you." He whispered and I grinned.
"I love you more," I said before we broke apart and I hugged Kate who patted my back. When I hugged Will he sighed.
"I'll talk to Granny. Try to talk some sense into her. Then I'll talk to Harry." He said making me smile before we pulled apart and I made my way outside where all the paps were waiting.
"Isla! Are you and Harry breaking up?"
"Isla why are you moving out the castle?"
"Isla give us a smile!"
I quickly made my way to Maddy's car where a guard helped me in and I turned to Maddy before raising an eyebrow.
"Are you dressed up?" I asked as she took off.
"I knew the paps were going to be there so I decided to do my hair. I let Theo pick out my outfit. Do I look okay?" She asked as she flung her hat into the back seat.
"You look perfect. Who is watching my nephew?" I asked and she laughed as she jumped on the freeway.
"With our next door neighbor. She is this ninety-year-old woman who can barely stand up. She plants Theo in front of the t.v until I come back." She said making me laugh.
~ARLS~
When we pulled into Maddy's driveway the door next door neighbors door opened and out came Theo running towards me as Maddy grabbed my bags.
"Auntie Isla!" Theo cried out as he jumped into my arms making me laugh.
"Hello my little Theo," I said as I kissed his forehead before placing him on the ground and having him drag me into the house. The first photo I saw was my brother and me.
"We were such children when we took this photo," I whispered as Maddy leaned against the doorframe from the living room.
"Do you miss daddy?" Theo asked making me turn and stare at him.
"Every day. He was my best friend." I said making Maddy nod.
"Do you remember why you two took that photo?" Maddy asked and I laughed before placing the photo down.
"I had to do a project on my family members and I realized I had no pictures with my brother. So I went over to his school and he was in his photography class. His teacher took this." I explained with a smile.
"I miss daddy. Can we go and visit him?" Theo asked and Maddy nodded.
"Yea. Yea. We can go tomorrow morning." Maddy said making Theo grin before he rushed to his room making me turn to Maddy who was crying.
"Oh, Maddy," I whispered as I rushed over to her and pulled her into a hug.
"I miss the love of my life!" She cried out as I hugged her.
"I miss him too. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I whispered before I felt all her weight on me and we fell to the floor. We started laughing before she helped me up and I stared at her.
"Thank you for being here." She whispered and I nodded.
"I'm only a phone call away."
