Kingdom Come

Chapter 1

Demi's POV

Today is the day that the royal family is supposed travel into town for the annual fall festival that happens in our small kingdom every year. Our kingdom of Rosglow was founded in the year 1023 and we are celebrating our anniversary.

I married a woman and as of right now we don't have any children, but both sets of parents are still alive as well as our siblings and children. Lauren and myself were both concerned with coming out to our parents let alone our kingdom, but everyone took the news extremely well. That also didn't deter our mothers from asking about grandchildren.

Luckily for us, our parents were also accepting of the fact that we were caregivers in search for a little. Our kingdom has been rather progressive in the idea of caregivers and littles, and both Lauren and I's siblings either have a little or have been tossing around the idea if their children were getting older. My sister is older than me and was the rightful heir to the crown, but she really didn't want it. She had children who were coming into their teenage years and really wanted to use that time to spend with her husband and children. Lauren's brother and wife on the other hand didn't have children but do have two littles themselves.

Lauren and I have been struggling to find a little though. After taking the role my parents led for many years it became even harder for us to find a little. There were so many fake littles that only wanted our money and the benefits from being royalty. We have yet to find a true little that only wants us for our love.

I'm staring out the window as we arrive into the town when Lauren grabs my attention by resting her hand on my thigh. Looking over to her I stop to admire her long raven hair and her green hypnotizing eyes. She is absolutely stunning and quite the opposite of my long brown hair and brown eyes. Luckily not many have questioned our ability to rule our kingdom as our height alone is intimidating.

Those who did question our abilities mostly questioned how young we were at the time to take over, but now that we are older, many have forgotten that was an issue. However, at our age now, with our kingdom in order all we can think about is finding a little to cherish. We don't have a preference to what he or she looks like, if the little is a he or she, or what headspace they may fall into. All we want is a little of our own to  take care of.

"Demi!" Lauren shouted causing me to shake my head getting rid of my thoughts.

I gave her a sorry smile, "I'm sorry sweetheart, what were you saying?"

She just chuckled and kissed my cheek, "Well I asked if you were excited for the festival, but clearly I should ask what has you so distracted?"

I kissed her cheek back like she had done to me, "Just thinking about our past and our future." I told her vaguely.

"Demi...." Lauren started in on me before I interrupted.

"Laur...." I replied back causing her to glare at me and grab my hand.

"Talk to me Demi. What is in that beautiful brain of yours?" Lauren asked genuinely curious.

I sighed before kissing the back of her hand that was grasping onto mine. "Just thinking of how far we've come since we took over the kingdom seven years ago.....and the fact that we still don't have a little."

Lauren gave me a gentle smile, "You know the perfect little will cone to us one day. We just have to be patient."

I groan knowing she was right. "I know it's just hard seeing your brother and his wife with their littles."

Lauren nodded, "I know, but we have to be patient. Everything will work itself out."
