As Erik and Lena come back from their honeymoon, Erik asks Lena a question"How would you feel if I cut my hair short like back in the day?"
"I mean it's up to you babe either way you look.. you still fine as hell"
"Really? I just wanted to change my look you know the Killmonger look just being Erik"
"Right turn over a new leaf kinda thing"
"Something like that"
"So remember you asked me about relocating and leaving Wakanda so what's up?"
"Well me and Challa were talking and he thought it would be a good idea if we moved back to Oakland and both of us be in charge of the center there"
"Really go back to Oakland? I haven't been back there in forever I kinda missed it"
"I do too but I'll give you time to think about it and Shuri will be with us from time to time with the youth"

"You know what Erik lets do it.. I love being here in Wakanda but we can always visit maybe buy a nice big house outside of Oakland maybe LA"
"We can do that.. just find a house and I'll take care of it"
"Okay I'll start looking"

Erik heads in the bathroom and starts cutting his dreads off. Lena heads in "Here baby let me help you out" Erik takes his shirt off as Lena starts cutting.

Lena cuts all his dreads off first with scissors and then takes the clippers to cut it down and shaping it. After she finished cleaning the hair off him, Erik looks in the mirror rubbing his head.
"You did good baby.. I look good"
"You certainly do..damn!"

"Um..excuse me Mr.Udaku, your wife wants you on the bed butt ass naked right now"
"For real Lena I gotta meet up with Challa..you know I'll do it"
"Oh he can wait for a minute.. I want you right now"
"Aight..need a quickie baby?"
"I need more than a quickie.. come here my love"

Thirty minutes later
Erik strolls in the throne room as T'Challa was speaking to the tribal council.
"Well nice to see you back from your honeymoon cousin..we just started the meeting an half hour ago"
"My bad..my wife needed me right quick"

T'Challa smirks at Erik knowing what he meant
"I understand N'Jadaka"
"Naw cuz you don't understand..we just got done fucking"

T'Challa tried to have a serious look on his face trying not to laugh but he was on the inside at Erik in front of the tribal council.

"So since the attack happened a couple weeks ago and the man who was responsible is dead, we have secured all weapons and vibranium only to certain people to have access to it.. myself and Princess Shuri has access to it and Prince N'Jadaka"
"Me for real? you trust me even though I was trying to take it?"
"Yes cousin I trust you can take on the responsibility"

Erik nodded and T'Challa moved on and explained how the access code worked to keep it secure during another attack. The meeting ended an hour later and T'Challa told Erik to stay back for a minute after everyone left.
"First of all cousin nice cut"
"I wanted to change up a little bit"
"Well I do trust you about the access codes because I know you have changed and I think as prince it's time to fulfill your duties"
"Appreciate it cousin.. so Lena wants to go back to Oakland and help out with the center"
"That's good I believe you two will turn the community around"
"Me too especially the kids out on the street"
"I know.. you two together will make a difference you two grew up there"
"Yea I know good and bad memories..I realized that's the past and I have a family to think about now"
"You do..so any more kids for you and Lena?"
"Not right now Challa.. I would love to have another baby but we are not ready for another one"
"Hopefully one day I'll have kids with Nakia since she accepted my proposal last night"
"So when's the wedding?"
"Next month..as king I have to be married as soon as possible"
"Cool you know I'll be your best man"
"Of course who else would it be..don't say M'Baku"
"No M'Baku is cool and all but I was there for your wedding and I know you will be there for mines"
"You know it cuz so when do want me and Lena move back to Oakland?"
"In about two weeks"
"Cool..I'm gonna miss you Challa but gotta go back home"
"I can handle being solo if I need extra help I'll send a panther signal or something like Batman"
"Funny..I'm gonna go find Lena see ya later"

Erik heads back to his room where Lena is playing with Sariah. "Hey Erik how was the meeting?"
"It went good.. I'm in charge of the weapons and the vibranium along with Shuri and Challa"
"Really? I'm surprised Challa trusted you with that responsibility"
"I know I said the same thing I know why..as a family we have to protect Wakanda"
"Wait a minute, did you said family?"
"Yea I did they are my family too"

Lena places Sariah in the crib to finish playing with her toys and goes up to Erik and looks at him holding his face "you have came a long way and I'm loving this new you"
"What you saying? you didn't like the old me?"
"I love the old you.. accepting your cousins and aunt Ramonda is a big step to your healing"
"It is Lena..I cant believe I said it but I meant it though"

Lena gives him a hug as he kisses the top of her head and "walk over to Sariah as she looks up grinning with her two teeth as they spend time as a family.

Lena heads in the throne room as  Ramonda was sitting looking out the window in silence.
"Auntie are you okay?"
"I'm fine just thinking about T'Chaka..somedays are good and sometimes I think about him"
"I understand.. losing him was unexpected"
"Yes it was..but now Nakia will be Queen soon and I will be just mother Ramonda and I will be able to mourn properly as I won't have too many duties soon"

"You do need to mourn Ramonda..it's been hard on you"
"It has.. being with him since we were kids we grown to love each other. It was an arranged marriage since birth and when I say we hated each other whew!

But when we got older, we realized that we were meant to be together and were happily married for thirty years"
"I never thought I would be with Erik just like you and T'Chaka, we've known each other since we were kids. When he found me, I fell in love with him all over again"
"At least you had a choice but seeing my nephew Erik now, he has changed lot since he has been here and he has a beautiful family now"

Ramonda hugs Lena "I'm gonna miss you Lena and Erik too.. especially my baby Sariah that's my sidekick right there"
"She certainly is.. I'm gonna miss you too auntie"
"You have to visit sometimes when you get the center on the ground"
"I promise I will come back"
"I believe you Queen Lena"
"I'm a princess Ramonda"
"But as a woman, you don't have to be queen of Wakanda, but just Lena the queen of your family"
"I've never thought of that"
"You are honey accept it"
You
Lena nods as she walks Ramonda back to her room and goes back to her own room to prepare packing to head back to Oakland.
