The Royals

Chapter 2

America's P.O.V.

After supper we cuddled on the floor near the chimney and fire while conversing about random things.

"My dear, I know you want children, and so do I, but how long shall we wait? How long until we are ready for the responsibility of a child?"

"I am not you-" I cut myself off midsentence, thinking back upon the engagement party, when Maxon almost proposed to Kriss. But he was shot and I was locked in a safe room, alone and pleading that he would live. I smiled to myself as I remembered the promise I made, a small sacrifice I could make so the love of my life would live. I would forever be his dear.

"Maxon, I do not believe anyone is every ready to be a parent, but when it happened, we will not be able to control it, or stop it. So we will have to be ready, when the time comes."

"You always know the perfect thing to say."

"Yes, maybe I do" I say while staring into the eyes of my husband.

Maxon started to smile, that evil smile he does when he has an crazy idea. He starts to lean in, slowly, so I must lay flat on my back. We start kissing, knowing what the other wanted, and wanting it ourselves. I rapped my hands around his neck, not breaking the kiss. He moved hand down my leg, wrapping it around his back. Carefully he stood up and started to walk to our temporary bedroom. I started to removed his shirt breaking the kiss briefly to get it over his head. I traced his muscles, and the scares on his back, taking it all in. We stopped kissing to catch our breath.

"Just because I said a child will present it's self when we are ready does not mean we should be careless. Jumping into the royal family as a princess would be hard enough, but I am the queen, and you are the king. It would not be the most convenient to start my reign of Illea pregnant would it?"

"No I guess not, but if I happened, it happened."

I nodded and we continued, the rest of the night was a blur, but it was perfect.

Sorry for the short chapters, but thanks for reading and please continue to read!
