“It’s a date,” she proclaimed to no one in particular.

“With the father of your child,” Genova said.

“Yes.” Belle turned one way and then the other in the mirror. “But it’s still just a date. One that’s just on the grounds of the palace as well. I can’t dress up.”

“Why can’t you? Dressing up should be more for you than who you’re with.”

“Okay. I’m not dressing up in a glittering gown that barely covers my bum when I’m having a date at the palace and my baby bump is bigger than my butt. I would feel ridiculous.”

“While I don’t think you should feel ridiculous for that, yours is a much more thorough reasoning, so I will accept your premise. You should try on some of the maternity clothes that Maeve sent up. I’m sure she had something that would work.”

“I haven’t looked through them at all.”

Genova walked into the closet and to the plastic bins in the corner. “It’s not a crime to be pregnant, you know. You could have been treating yourself to new clothes.” She held up a rose-patterned pinafore and wrinkled her nose. “New to you, anyway.” She tossed the garment back into the bin.

Belle leaned against the closet door. “I didn’t want people to question how big I was.”

Genova scowled over her shoulder at Belle as she carried the bin to the dresser in the middle of the room. Belle watched as she lifted out a sparkly cocktail dress and immediately tossed it aside, then held up what looked like a purple maxi dress—or a jumpsuit, Belle couldn't be certain— and scrutinized it a moment before dropping it to the floor and saying, “There! I don't need to look at any more. You can wear this one.”

Belle walked over and fingered the dark blue wrap dress with the little white flowers. “Soft.”

“Of course it is.” Genova held it out. “Try it on.”

“Fine.” She turned and stripped out of the other dress and wrapped it around her new waistline, the bottom of her boobs, before turning back to Genova. “Do you approve of this one?”

Genova gestured to the mirror. “What do you think?”

Belle looked in the mirror and sighed. She did look better than an overstuffed sausage. “I should have dug into Maeve’s clothes ages ago. Are you happy now?” In addition to her new waistline, the dress also exposed a generous amount of new cleavage. And it skimmed nicely over her hips. It ended almost at her knees, so it was long enough that it wouldn't ride up if they sat on a blanket or the grass.

Genova tapped a finger to her lips. “I’ll be happy when you are actually happy. Maybe, just maybe, Elijah can help you get there. Now for your hair. Sit on the stool.” Belle did as she was told. Genova twisted some of her hair up, leaving a few strategic strands to hang loose around her shoulders. Then she stepped back. “Perfect.”

A knock came at the hall door. “Put a little eyeliner on while I open the door,” she looked at the clock.
