Everyone was going to start sending congratulations, though the custom was that the baby wouldn't be shown to the public for at least a month. If they were feeling protective, many Royals would keep the child in their home and away from public events until they were officially announced at age five.

They would be lucky to make it one full year before the little one could speak and move well enough to demand to see more things. People called it the terrible twos, but Dominic was certain that it actually started the moment that they learned to walk.
