The golden hues of dawn bathed the city of London, casting a serene glow over its bustling streets and majestic buildings. In the heart of the city, within the grand palace, Kenta and Aria sat in their private garden, discussing their next steps. The recent union of their kingdoms had brought prosperity and stability, and now they felt it was time to take their next personal step.

"Kenta," Aria began, her voice soft but filled with determination, "we've accomplished so much together for our kingdoms. But I think it's time we plan for our future on a more personal level."

Kenta looked at his wife, seeing the resolve in her eyes. He knew what she was implying, and the thought brought a warm smile to his face. "You mean starting a family?"

Aria nodded. "Yes. I believe it's time we think about having children. Our legacy isn't just about the cities and innovations we create; it's also about our family and the future generation."

Kenta reached out, taking her hand in his. "I've been thinking about that too, Aria. I want to raise our children in a world that we've built together, to teach them the values and skills that have brought us this far."

They spent the morning discussing their hopes and dreams for their future children, imagining the kind of upbringing they wanted to provide. Both agreed that their children would need to understand the responsibility that came with their heritage and the abilities they would inherit from Kenta.

As the weeks turned into months, Kenta and Aria focused on creating a nurturing environment within the palace. They renovated a wing of the palace into a spacious and inviting nursery, filled with toys, books, and educational materials. The palace staff, excited by the prospect of royal heirs, helped prepare for the arrival of the new members of the royal family.

One crisp autumn morning, Aria felt a new sensation within her. It was a feeling she had never experienced before, a fluttering that seemed to come from deep within. She hurried to find Kenta, who was overseeing a new construction project in the city.

"Kenta," she called, her voice filled with excitement and a hint of nervousness.

He turned to her, concern flashing across his face. "Aria, what's wrong?"

She took his hand, placing it gently on her belly. "I think... I think I'm pregnant."

Kenta's eyes widened in surprise and joy. He embraced her, lifting her off the ground as he spun her around. "That's wonderful news, Aria! We're going to be parents!"

The news spread quickly through the palace and the city. The citizens of London celebrated with festivals and feasts, rejoicing in the knowledge that their beloved leaders were expecting a child. Kenta and Aria felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and anticipation as they prepared for the arrival of their baby.

As Aria's pregnancy progressed, she and Kenta continued to work closely together, ensuring that the kingdom remained prosperous and peaceful. They attended to their duties with renewed vigor, knowing that they were building a future not just for their people, but for their family as well.

One peaceful night, as Aria rested, she felt a strong, rhythmic movement in her belly. She placed her hand on her abdomen, feeling the life growing within her. Kenta, sensing her movement, woke and gently placed his hand over hers.

"Can you feel that?" Aria whispered, her eyes shining with wonder.

Kenta nodded, a look of awe on his face. "Yes, our child is strong. I can feel it."

Months passed, and the time for the baby's arrival drew near. One evening, as a full moon hung low in the sky, Aria felt the first pangs of labor. The palace was a flurry of activity as midwives and attendants rushed to assist her.
