I smiled as both Elizabeth and I sat in a carriage as we held Hanna's and waved at all the people. It has now been several months since Nick St Claire had passed, since Charles had passed. Elizabeth and I within those months were able to unite the people we both ruled over to create one whole town.

We looked at one another both wearing crowns. Holding hands as we saw many people of the village surround us and cheer and clap.

She smiled at me as she rubbed her large stomach. I smiled at her and she smiled back at me as we kissed.

When we arrived back at our home she was looking out of the balcony.

"Veronica had sent a message. Her and Archie just had their first child."

I smiled at her and she smiled back at me and thought to herself "it's beautiful no?"

I nodded softly and held her face and kissed her. She smiled holding my arms as I pulled away and told her "you are the most precious thing I have in my life."

She smiled and rubbed her stomach "I'm afraid..."

I asked her "of what?"

She frowned and told me "our child...what if it happens again? What if...what if we are meant to not have any children?"

I frowned and held her face as I told her "I will love you regardless of any of that. We will love together, we will mourn together, now matter how great the pain, suffering or happiness there is."

She sniffled and hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her and held her and she held me "you will still love me..."

I told her "of course I will, I always have and always will."

She smiled and I smiled back as we kissed and she gasped and I asked her "what's wrong?"

She held her stomach and looked up at me "the baby...it's...the baby is coming."

I smiled and she smiled back and I told her "this time will be different. I'm positive."

She smiled and I ran to get our physician.

I laid in my bed as I pushed and held Jugheads hand tightly.

I cried and screamed as the physician said "we have the head your majesty you are so close!"

I nodded and looked at Jughead and he smiled at me "it's okay, it's possible."

I nodded and winced as I pushed again and again and justice that we heard cries. Loud cries, I panted and dripped in sweat as Jughead walked over quickly and the man smiled "a healthy....baby girl."

I smiled and Jughead smiled and he took her in his arms and smiled "a daughter?"

He nodded "I am sorry your majesty if you had wanted a different outcome?"

I looked at Jughead as he scoffed out "I am not my father. She will make an excellent, powerful Queen. All on her own. Just like her mother."

He looked at me and I looked at him and smiled as I panted and the physician helped me clean up.

That night I sat in bed holding my daughter in my arms.

I smiled as she cooed in my arms and I heard "your majesty. We have informed your family, the King is on his way up and here is your dinner."

I smiled and nodded as she left and I looked at my daughter as I said "I am your mother....and you will become the most powerful Queen anyone will ever know, more powerful than either your father or myself."

I kissed her head as Jughead came in and smiled "my favorite two angel."

I laughed and he walked over and looked at her "she is sleeping..."

He smiled and looked at our child and said "have you thought of a name?"

I gulped and I shook my head. "Not yet...she's... she's to precious anything I come up with isn't great enough."

I smiled and looked at our child as he smirked and suggested "well, it will come when it does."

I looked at him and nodded as I smiled and said "I had one...but I am still unsure."

He asked me "well what is it?"

I replied "Lillian..."

I looked at him and he smiled "a beautiful name. That is what she shall be called."

I smiled and he kissed me and I held his chin as he pulled away and whispered "let me take her and you eat."

He took her in his arms slowly and he smiled holding her "my sweet little girl, my little girl."

He chuckled in a quiet voice and I grabbed my food and began eating as I watched Jughead, he seemed so happy and I was happy. Happier I had ever felt in my life up until that moment.
