Third chance at love

Change

Tiana had be pacing her Office the whole morning. He was back and She wanted to know how!! It had been four days since hearing the news of the Shadow-man's return from Ella. Tiana hadn't slept hearing the news which left her now up in the early hours of the morning with nothing but her angry thoughts. 

Still dressed in her night grown not bothering to change right that minute,Tiana was pissed her plan had failed. The Shadow-man was supposed to suffer for what he put Naveen through but yet again Facilier has escaped his fate. Tiana just wanted justice but the more Tiana thought about how to go about it the more corrupt she became. She wanted the dark thoughts to leave her mind but she just couldn't let go of getting her Justice. Life in her kingdom had been difficult, so Queen duties had been overbearing for her to handle. However the last thing she need was her personal life to be just as chaotic. Naveen had return to his kingdom nearby as he was still being hunted by the horrors of Facilier's dark magic. They gotten pretty close over the years after Drizella defeat but what had kept them apart was Naveen nightmares and visions. Naveen was never the same, his personality had changed dramatic. He was more reserved, less outspoken and avoided as many  social events as he could. This wasn't the man she had first meet and this left Tiana worried for Naveen's Mental state. 

She hated that the Shadow-man could be happy while She worried herself sick to no end for the man she had grown to love. Life as Queen was hard enough but now she had watch Regina carry and give birth to children who's father was nothing but a monster. She had watch the voodoo man join her social circle, befriend her friends and be okay with it. Stopping in her tracks Tiana took a seat in her chair by her desk. She felt defeated. She hated it to her core. 

Looking out of the window Tiana watched the sunrise over her kingdom with nothing but a deep frown on her face. She couldn't let this stand she just couldn't. King Richard's death had reached her kingdom and everyone was curious on how a ruthless, volatile, most feared ruler of the northern Kingdom had died out of the blue. Leaving behind his Queen Anais and young son his only Heir. Tiana had no idea what happen down in Horicvale but Tiana didn't care for the matter. She was more concern with how the King Richard had failed her. However Tiana was no longer left with her thoughts when a knock came from her office door. Sighing to herself quietly Tiana mentally prepared her mind. " Come in." 

Ella had enter the office room with her baby son Ben in her arms half asleep. Ella had been wondering the castle corridors trying to put her infant son to sleep when she came across a low lit light coming from Tiana's Office. " Tiana your up early? I hope your not over doing yourself on these Queen duties." Ella said as she closed the door gently behind her. Tiana let out a loud sigh. " No I'm just thinking that all."

" A lot on your mind then?" Ella said as she noticed the stressed out Queen. Ella could see Tiana was clearly trouble by something but just as he was about to ask Tiana began to talk again. She layout her troubles to Ella and just like any friend Ella listen intently. As they spoke about the issues of the Shadow-man Ella too was bothered by his return. She just like Tiana believed it would be best if he was out of the picture however Ella was  concern for Regina. Her relationship with Regina had be come rocky. She didn't like the idea of her family being around such a man but Ella couldn't just push Regina to the side. After all she was Henry's mother and Henry was beginning to change sides, Ella know it. Regina was in her late stages of Pregnancy and Ella was worried Henry would let Facilier be accepted into their family. Ella just didn't trust him or his magic, so what ever Tiana had plan for Facilier Ella wanted every part in it. She had to protect her family.

Back in little farmhouse Regina and Raphael had spent the day together. Regina hadn't let him out of her sight and neither did he. They had taken a calm walk through the cold woods. The weather was colder now as they were fast approaching winter but despite the biting cold the couple continued their stroll. Wrapped up in their warmest clothes, holding hands Regina couldn't take her eyes off her lover. She didn't believe he was here with her finally and every now then she would have to pinch herself to see if she was dreaming. She missed everything about him from his kind chocolate eyes that pierced into her soul to his seductive voice that left her body craving for more of him. The top thing she missed was his company. She loved how caring and charming he was with her alone. She missed how he made her laugh, smile or even cry but now he was here. She could finally stop worrying. 

They had spoken about everything they had missed together. Regina informed him on her changes in her pregnancy. Raphael only smiled as her due date was just around the corner. He had dreamed of the two beautiful little beings coming to the world, dreaming of the perfect moment of holding his children in his arms close to his heart were he knew they would remind to the end of time. They had spent the four days together cuddling, kissing, talking and deciding baby names. It had surprised them both that they hadn't picked a names but what made Regina laugh was Raphael's ideas of them have boys. 

" Raphael you do realise that it's a 50 percent chance of us having a boy or a girl  for both babies?" They continued to walk through the woods when they went over the names again. Raphael nodded understanding the chances but he just knew they were having boys. " And I  told you more boys run in my family." Raphael said as smiled at his love. " How about Dion and Hadrien...or Gabriel?" Regina though over the boys names but she just wasn't feeling them. 

" I still like the name Elijah we could call him Eli for short if we have a boy." Raphael watched Regina light up name once again. She had mention the name Eli for a boy before and the name still hadn't left her mind. " Fine Eli and Dion for the boys." Raphael said with a funny smile which left Regina to roll her eyes at his certainty. " What about Melora...for a girl?" 

Raphael listen to the name Regina had just said. 'Melora?' Raphael had never heard of that name before...but he liked it. " What does it mean my Queen?" Regina smiled at his curiosity. " It means Golden apple I came across the name when I was young girl and I guess it stuck with me ever since. It's a pretty name isn't."  " Yes it is, I like that name for a girl." 

" I was also thinking we could add Diane and Halle maybe to the list I really like them too." " Of course my Queen." 

After their beautiful Stroll in the cold gentle winds of the woods The couple returned back to Zelena's house for some dinner. Approaching the house still holding hands Regina and Raphael entered with happy loving smiles on their faces. However they didn't notice a guest was sitting in the living room until the guest spoke up catching their attention. 

" Hi Mum." Henry said as he looked upon the happy couple. " Henry?! What a pleasant surprise." Regina said slightly shocked but she had spoken too soon when she heard a smaller voice coming from the kitchen. " Hi Abuela!" Lucy said as she walked out of kitchen with Zelena with delicious food in her arms.

" Lucy?"
