"We're a team. We're a family."

"Have you guys started planning the wedding?" Kate asked.
                          
"We're done planning it. We're keeping it very traditional but also very modern. There will be two ceremonies. The civil will be here in London and Traditional in Norway that way both families are included. The only thing left is my dresses." I answered.
                          
"Oh wow, that's great, Rose. Truly, a smart move to make sure no one feels left out." Kate said.
                          
"I know." I said, rubbing my belly.
                          
Kate drove George, Charoltte, Louis and I-, as two security cars followed us nearby.
                          
"Do you think the Queen will give Thorbjørn a Dukedom?" Kate asked.
                          
"We talked about it but we're not sure. I mean it will mostly be used here but in Norway, we'll just be called prince and princess but I'm certain Thorbjørn will accept it out of respect and not to seem snobbish to the public." I answered.
                          
"What dukedom do you think he'll get?" She asked.
                          
"Definitely, Clarence." I replied.
                          
"And what about you? Will you add Norway to your official title?" She asked.
                          
"I do not know. I would have to speak with granny about that and do some research but I know that our children official title will be Princess or Prince of United Kingdom and Norway." I responded.
                          
"Oh did you guys figure out where you're having the baby?" She asked.
                          
"St Mary's in London. I have my doctor and whole birthing team here so Thorbjørn wants me comfortable and he believes it's best I have the baby here instead of Norway." I answered.
                          
"Speaking of Norway, when do you plan on going back?" Kate asked.
                          
"Saturday. I have several public engagements to attend to and redecorating to do." I replied.

A very maternal Rose! Princess of Wales shows off her motherly instincts as she joins Crown Princess Mette-Marit at a parenting event in Oslo  
                          
Princess Rose of Wales has showcased her maternal instincts during a visit to a parenting event on Monday.
                          
The Princess of Wales joined future sister in law Crown Princess Mette-Marit at the Fathers Pursuit Organisation in Oslo on Monday.
                          
The mother-of-three proved herself to be hit with the children at the event as she sat alongside a little girl and served her fizzy pop as the pair chatted.
                          
The royal duo were treated to a buffet of soft drinks, classic Scandinavian gingerbread and sweets.
                          
Mette-Marit, 45, looked typically chic in a navy blue top and tweed trousers for her engagement today.
                          
She kept her accessories to a minimum wearing a simple gold chain and silver bracelet this afternoon.
                          
The former waitress wore her icy blonde locks loose and opted for a neutral colour pallette when it came to her makeup. 
                          
Rose, 31, was a vision in a floral dress that featured big, colourful prints. The pregnant royal, who accessorised with a silver bracelet and silver whoop earrings, cradled her growing bump for today's event.

Prince Thorbjørn and Princess Rose attend the Children’s Peace Prize Party
                          
On Wednesday, the Children’s Peace Prize Party was organised as a part of the award ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. His Royal Highness Prince Thorbjørn of Norway and Her Royal Highness Princess Rose of Wales attended the party at the Nobel Peace Prize Centre in downtown Oslo.
                          
This year Children’s Peace Prize Festival was held for the 22nd time and the children who made this year’s peace prize party were from Sagene and Grünerløkka School in Oslo. The party has been a part of the official Nobel Peace Prize Programme since 1997. The party consist of an hour’s show where children interview the Peace Prize winners, and famous artists perform.
                          
After the Peace Prize Party with the children, it was time for the more serious Peace Prize Award Ceremony in Oslo City Hall. There are 22 events together over eight days in Norway’s capital under the name of Oslo Peace Days with seminars, panel debates, film shows and concerts. The children’s party was just one of them.
                          
One of the more professional events during the Nobel days is the Nobel Peace Prize Forum in the university building on Karl Johans Street on Tuesday. The main speaker is Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2007.
                          
This year’s Peace Prize Exhibition at the Nobel Peace Centre opens to the public on Wednesday. The exhibition has been titled “The body as a battlefield” and visualises stories from women, men and children who have been exposed to sexual violence in war and conflict areas. The Peace Centre encourages the public to recognise sexual violence as weapons in war and armed conflict. Visitors can sign an invitation to prosecute sexual violence in war.

👑Thorbjørn👑
                          
Thorbjørn laid down as best as he could and carefully wrapped her into his arms.
                          
“How are you feeling?” He asked softly, kissing her temple.
                          
“I’m feeling rubbish and exhausted.” She answered, looking up at him.
                          
"Don't worry, the baby will be here soon." He said.
                          
Nodding, Rose sealed their lips once last time before letting slumber take over her exhausted body and she fell asleep.
                          
Thorbjørn's phone started to ring. Thorbjørn quickly picked up the phone and Haakon's name was on the screen.
                          
Thorbjørn got up from the bed and headed out of the room and answered the phone.
                          
"Hello, Haakon." Thorbjørn said, answering the phone.
                          
"Hello, Thorbjørn, how's Rose and the baby?" Haakon asked.
                          
"Wow they're fine, did you call me just to ask about them?" Thorbjørn replied.
                          
"No, I called you to tell that the Stikkelman Estate is ready for you two to move in." Haakon said.
                          
"Oh great." Thorbjørn said.
                          
"The nursery is also done." Haakon said.
                          
"Thank you, Haakon for helping me with all of this and thank Mette for me." Thorbjørn said.
                          
"No problem, Thorbjørn. I'm happy that you're finally getting your happy ending. That's all we ever wanted for you." Haakon said.
                          
"Awe, thank you, Haakony." Thorbjørn said.
                          
"You know Rose also calls me that." Haakon said.
                          
"She does?" Thorbjørn asked.
                          
"I guess, you two are more alike then you thought." Haakon answered.
