It started with Chess, Malleus Draconia x Reader

*Bonus Chapter*

A Few Months later....

Malleus, Lilia, Silver and Sebek along with your mother were all waiting outside of the bedroom, within you'd been In labor for a couple of hours still pushing the child out at the moment. Malleus wanted so badly to be by your side as he heard your cries of pain from the outside,  

he paced back and fourth as Sebek did the same, all the while Lilia had sat himself In a criss-cross position while hovering In the air trying to tell them to take a seat

Malleus sighed, "I should be In there"

Lilia shook his head, "No you're not allowed only the doctor and Lady Maleficia"

another ten minutes had passed with the sounds of a baby soon resounding from within, and Malleus's eyes widened as he pushed past Sebek to quickly enter the room

you lied in the bed wearily now taking in breaths as your forehead was wiped of sweat, the Fae Nurse tended to you while the royal doctor took care of cleaning the baby up after cutting the cord. Malleus rushed to your side as he smoothed your hair back from your forehead 

"My Love, I'm here now...you did so well"

you smiled as he then kissed your forehead all the while he held your hand, you gave his a squeeze back just as Mallleus turned to face the doctor "So, what is it?"

"Congratulations your Majesty, the Queen's given birth to a healthy daughter"

The Fae Nurse presented your daughter to you as Malleus helped you sit up, and you gently cradled her in your arms as you both looked down at her with loving smiles 

you rocked her gently as you then lightly kissed her brow, "Look at her...."

Malleus teared up as he then smoothed her little head, "Welcome...our little one"

Lady Maleficia smiled, "She's so darling...a mix of you both"

you fixed her swaddle up, "Darling, what'll we name her? I've looked through so many books"

"Indeed so have I," said Malleus

Lady Maleficia thought, "Malleus did you look at the book including names used In our Clan?"

Malleus started to recall, "I looked through It, no name caught my eye except..."

 "Rhea"

you looked to him, "Rhea?" 

Malleus smiled, "Yes, Rhea shall be her name"

you looked down at Rhea with a smile, "It's beautiful...Princess Rhea Draconia"

just then she opened her eyes to reveal they matched your own (E/c) eyes, but they had the slits just like her father's but her hair seemed to be a mix of your own white hair and his black

"Would you like to hold her dear?"

Malleus nodded and carefully took her from you, as he smiled warmly at Rhea who he thought looked like you the most but she did have some Draconian traits like the scale marks on her forehead just like his own. Rhea cooed as she gave Malleus a little gummy smile

It made his heart melt as he then kissed her upon the brow, "Little one...no harm shall ever come to you so long as I live".

Six Years later....

Rhea was running through the royal gardens, her black and white mixed hair shining In the sunlight as she played with her Uncles Silver and Sebek, over these past few years Rhea had grown to be a bright little girl with a curiousity for everything especially about her father's lineage, always asking when she'd get powers or wings even. But as she was part Dragon fae she'd not have wings but instead her Father's horns, which had fully grown out now 

you and Malleus looked on from afar, just as Rhea then tripped up onto the ground

"Ouchy!"

Sebek panicked, "Call the Royal Doctor at once! the princess has fallen!"

Silver sighed and helped her up, "Calm down Sebek, she's just fine"

he brushed her off as she then saw you and Malleus, waving "Mommy! Daddy!"

you smiled and waved back to her, just as Malleus once again rested his head against the tree with you adjusting to look at him "What's wrong darling?"

"Nothing, it's just time passes so quickly...to me she was just a newborn Yesterday"

you smiled, "Yes,"

just then you heard a baby crying as you saw one of the maids bringing your six month old son Matthias who'd just woken up from his nap to which you got up to go see about him 

"There, There It's alright Mommy's here"

you rubbed his back just as Malleus had stood up as well, picking up his staff as he walked over

"Is he alright?"

you nodded, "mhm, he's just woken up and In need of attention"

you kissed Matthias's cheek, "It's alright dear"

just then Rhea came over, "Little brother's awake!"

you kneeled with a smile so she could see him, just as Matthias's emerald eyes gleamed just like his father's as he reached up to play with one of your curls

"Can I hold him?" Asked Rhea

you smiled, "Of course, here careful now"

Rhea got on her knees to hold him and hugged her brother as he cooed happily, Malleus then got down to your level too as he put his arm around you while smiling warmly 

"My Rose, do you remember all those years ago? In all my years I would've never thought I'd be here like this...In love and with these children of ours"

you smiled warmly, "Indeed I can say the same, and who would've thought...It all started with a game of Chess".
