Leona's Pride

new beginnings Chap.17

soon after that what remains of Royal were taken and buried in a designated part of the gardens his burial spot was surrounded by many flowers and your friends came to pay respects and though Leona and others tried to cheer you up It didn't really work you were very attached to Royal during that five months but now you miscarried and he was gone.

you were sitting in the tub while hugging your knees and a few tears streamed down your cheeks before falling into the water but you didn't care to wipe them away as you blankly stared at the water but then the bathroom door opened before closing and you slowly looked up to see Leona and he walked over to your side before sitting and he reached over to caress your cheek

"Love are you alright..."

you stayed silent but then he let out a sigh "I never got to be here with you...but he was our son and I would've loved him"

he then wiped a tear from your cheek before he leaned forward and kissed it which made you turn to face him and he cupped your cheeks before touching foreheads with you as you began to cry once more and he wrapped his arms around you rubbing your back and you put your head on his shoulder as you sobbed but then he took your towel and wrapped it around you before picking you up bridal style taking you to your room and then when you started to calm down he let you go as you went to go get dressed into a simple gown before sitting on the bed and he came sitting at your side but then he locked hands with you 

"Love I know...It'll be hard I'll miss him too even though I wasn't here but....I'll always be here I promise I won't ever leave again that I promise as your husband and king"

you looked at Leona giving him a small smile before you both kissed and you held his hand back before laying down on his lap and he stroked through your hair 

he smiled warmly "I like the hair cut it makes you all the more beautiful"

you smiled "I just wanted a small change and Dear...please don't blame yourself for being gone it couldn't be helped you had to leave"

Leona nodded "you're right but I can't help but feel guilty"

just then Cheka came in running over to the bed and you sat up before helping him onto the bed and he hugged you tightly 

he sniffled "Mommy you've been really sad...and I..I miss baby brother"

you smiled gently "I miss him too but don't worry I'll be fine now"

Cheka looked up and smiled before he nuzzled your cheek which made you giggle before kissing his forehead then he hopped off your lap "Mommy! it's almost Kokoa's birthday"

you smiled "yes he'll be one years old I suppose I should let Rook know we'll be needing a party"

Leona smirked "heh...yeah"

Cheka gasped before jumping up and down "yay! party!...party!"

you then got off the bed and left the room going to get Kokoa in which he had just started to cry so you soothed him helping him calm down and when you came back to the bedroom you saw Cheka sitting on Leona's shoulders which made you giggle before you sat down on the bed and Cheka got off his shoulders coming over to look at Kokoa and you let him hold him

Cheka stroked his hair "little brother...It's going to be your birthday..."

Kokoa smiled and wiggled his ears "Bah!...Bah!"

you smiled at Leona and he returned your smile before you put your head on his shoulder.
