A Son For A King II: A Family Dynasty
Wake Up Call
A little over eight years have passed for the Maldonian royal couple and through those years grew more success, power and children. Tiana gave birth to a third child, a son name Domenic who is now seven. A couple of years later she gave birth to twin boys name Dhimani and Dojin who are both five. Jasmyna, the only daughter in the family is now eight and the oldest child James is now fourteen.
Tiana's Palace was another success and has now expanded into other countries outside of Maldonia/Giodonia in sia, Europe, North and South America. Besides being queen Tiana is a also a business woman traveling around the world to those locations.
Naveen being king still dealt with the usual politics but recently settled on peaceful terms with his alliances, adding additional countries on his side while keeping his country on the surplus end of the financial bubble. It was a challenge but he had to maintain a realistic budget for his people's well-being while making profit.
He was just returning from another royal business trip from Giodonia where he stayed at for a month just to be certain that everything was running smoothly and that his team were doing their jobs. It was important for him to always be hands on and to keep a stern watch, no matter how much he trusted his team of advisers. And now that everything is up to his satisfaction, he could now return home to his family, to his wife.
Naveen eased into the royal suite as quietly as he could during the early hours of the morning. The sun barely risen have yet reached the windows which meant that his beautiful wife was still asleep on the bed they shared for over eight years. A smile cracked on his lips at the peaceful sight of Tiana on their king size canopy bed. At age thirty-three her youthful glow remained or perhaps mothering five children enriched that aspect of her beauty.
He took off his shoes before joining his slumbering wife; placing a gentle kiss on her forehead and inhaling her vanilla scent.
"Mi benita," he whispered before moving a strand of her curl that rested inches from the spot he laid his kiss at.
Tiana stirred from the touch, opening her hazel/brown eyes to Naveen's honey coloured orbs.
She noticed the smirk on his lips and returned it with a small smile. He's always made it easy to return his smiles all due to him being irresistible. At age thirty-four his youthful glow seemed to have never faded, partially because he's a kid at heart. Always cracking jokes, dancing, finding anyway to entertain their children whenever he wasn't too busy. And the fact that he made sure their time was never taken for granted was an added bonus.
"What time did you get in?" She sat up to hug him.
Naveen returned the hug, giving her a squeeze. "Several minutes before you woke up." He kissed her shoulder before loosening the embrace. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
"No, I slept long enough." Tiana pressed her lips onto his. "You're the one who needs the sleep."
"I've slept on the way here. Giodonia is only three hours away." He reminded her.
"But it took a month for you to return back to us." Tiana said, taking his hand.
"You know that politics strain time." Naveen caressed her face.
Tiana closed her eyes at his touch. "Well at least you came back." She exhaled as his lips connected to hers again.
"I couldn't stay away for too long." Naveen pulled her body onto his and fell back until she was on top of him. "I've missed every last inch of this beautiful body."
"What do you think you're doing?" Tiana asked, already knowing what he had in mind.
"Oh come on, Tiana. You've been married to me long enough to know what I want to do to you right now." He ran his hand over her derrière.
"Actually I don't know what you want from me." She pretended to play innocent.
"Oh yeah?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Mm-hmm." She smirked, leaning forward, her crème coloured night gown rising up from the hem.
Naveen licked his lips, running his hands up his wife's brown thighs. "Then I guess I'm going to have to-
"Papa!" Three young tan boys busted into the suite.
Tiana quickly rolled off her husband to make room for the princes.
One by one the boys all jumped on their father, who was just as happy to see them.
"Papa I've missed you so much!" said Domenic, hugging him.
"We've miss you more!" Both twins Dhimani and Dojin tried to compete with their older brother by squeezing in between him and their father.
"Well I've miss you all…more!" Naveen hugged all his boys who all took after him in the eyes, hair, complexion and smile. Domenic was the only son to inherit after his mother's hair colour.
"Alright boys give ya daddy some space to breathe." Tiana joked, getting off the bed to put on her house coat.
The boys listened to their mother, all sitting on the bed.
Domenic was the first to ask, "Will you be joining us for breakfast, papa?"
"Oh course! I will." Naveen sat up. "What time is it? I'm starving!"
"Ten minutes after seven, papa!" Answered Dhimani. "And guess what? James arrived home just before dinner lastnight. His team made it to the finals!"
"Dhimani! James himself wanted to share that news with papa." Domenic told his younger brother.
"Oops!" He covered his mouth.
"Boys leave ya daddy alone for a second and go get your nanny to escort you all down to the breakfast room." Tiana instructed.
"Aw!" The twins pouted.
"Domenic make sure that the twins get to their nanny. You remember what happened the last time." She said.
"Yes, mama. I will make sure of it." Answered the young prince.
Naveen looked over at his wife who was heading to the bathroom. "Are you about to shower?"
"Mmhm." She answered before closing the door.
"Boys you listen to your mother. Go back to your rooms and have your nannies escort you downstairs." He got off the bed.
"Will you join us right away?" asked Domenic.
"Yes, yes now go to your rooms. I'll be down shortly." Naveen gestured toward the doors.
The boys all followed his orders.
"See you soon, papa!" said the twins, running out the room.
"Stop that running!" Naveen ordered in a fatherly manner.
"I'll try to keep them from hurting themselves, papa." Domenic told his father.
Naveen nodded as his son closed the door after leaving the suite. He made sure to lock both doors before stripping off his clothes and walking into the bathroom.
"Tiana…" He sang, opening the shower door.
"Are the boys out of the room?" She asked, lathering soap in her hands.
"Yes they are." Naveen wrapped his arms around her, taking the soap, making a lather himself before rubbing it over his wife's tummy and up her breasts.
She sighed at her husband's sensual massages. "What do you think you're doing, your royal highness?"
"What did I tell you about calling me that?" He asked in a husky voice.
"You answer my question first." Tiana turned to face him.
Naveen looked down at his wife who he couldn't resist even after giving him five children. She was always beautiful to him but something happened to the shape her body after giving birth to the twins, her breasts were a lot fuller, her hips were curvier making her as enticing to him as before. He was addicted to her and loved it when she was in her sensual playful moods. It made their intimate times together much more desirous. So without any form of warning he lifted her up, making her legs wrap around his waist. "I've missed you," His voice grew deeper.
"I've missed you, too. But that still doesn't answer my question." She laughed.
He raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly was your question?"
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked.
He pretended as if he was waiting for her to finish. "You're missing the your royal highness part, mi benita."
She playfully hit him on the shoulder.
Naveen chuckled darkly before pressing his lips onto hers.
"Answer my question," Tiana said through the kiss.
He groaned. "You're really sticking by this question of yours." He moved his lips onto her neck. "If you want to know…" He breathed. "…I am about to make love to my wife in this shower." He sucked on her neck. "You got that?"
"Mmhm." Tiana moaned in response.

"No, I had it first!" Dojin snatched the fork.
"No I had it first!" Dhimani snatched the fork back.
Jasmyna rolled her eyes before covering her ears. The wild curls she inherited from her mother, the colour she inherited from her father flowed beautiful down past her waist. She was all Tiana with a hint of Nagina's blue eyes, the only child from her mother and father with that eye colour. She was blessed with exotic beauty and commonsense who could always see right through a deceitful person. An inheritance she got from her other grandmother, Eudora.
Every morning was the same thing with her younger twin brothers. Both always fighting on who had what first. Who said what first? Who did what first?
"To be an only child." She sighed in annoyance.
"Oh what a lonely life that would be," James walked in, the spitting image of Naveen. His voice already change into a mature tone. The young man was not only handsome but very smart, already completing his education and still felt that he should continue his studies until leaving for college in several months. He played a huge part in coaching the youthful football team and he was captain in his own team for the older children. As an attractive young prince he was also very popular with the young ladies but unlike his father who chose the path in philandering, he was quite respectful to his female friends—thus his mother playing a huge role in raising him to being a gentleman, but he went to his father for advice only another male could understand.
"You don't know the half of it," added the princess.
"They aren't so bad," James said before looking over at them. "Hey you two! Stop that nonsense!"
The twin boys obliged; having great respect for their older brother.
Jasmyna rolled her eyes again. "Yes, when he tells you to shut it you do it."
The twins playfully stuck out their tongues.
"Ugh!" She groaned in annoyance. "What is keeping mama and papa?"
"Papa said that he'll be down." Informed Domenic. "Perhaps he's changing before joining us for breakfast?"
Jasmyna shrugged her shoulders. Out of all the children, she got to spend less time with her father because of her studies and the fact that she had to perform her princess duties alongside her mother, the queen. She cherished her time with her mother, both being very close and as much as she enjoyed being in her mother's company she wish that she could have just one day alone with her father, who was always so busy with his duties—or 'hogged' by her brothers.
"Gondia-dais!" Naveen and Tiana both walked in hand and hand.
All the children stood from their seats, "Gondia-dais, papa! Gondia-dais, mama!" They all greeted in unison.
Tiana never liked the children always having to stand whenever they entered the room—she never liked much of Maldonia's home ethics.
Naveen made sure to go to his oldest son and embrace him in a hug. "Congratulations on making it to the finals, son."
"Thanks, papa," James returned the hug.
"We'll speak more on it during breakfast," He said before going over his daughter.
Taking Jasmyna's hands he looked down at his little girl. Eight years old and already carries herself as a sophisticated young lady. "Mi benita princessa." He embraced his daughter. "I haven't seen you in so long. I was hoping to catch with you before leaving last month."
Jasmyna returned the embrace, wanting to cry but felt that it would be silly to do it before breakfast. "I've missed you too, papa."
"You will tell me what you've been up to, yes?" He asked with a smile.
She nodded her head and felt his lips gently press against her forehead before returning to his seat.
Servants walked in with the breakfast.
"James, are you excited about the final game?" Naveen asked as the servant served him a bowl of oatmeal.
"More than anything," James answered, "Will you be there?"
"You know I always make it to most of your games. Especially the finals," Naveen applied the milk, butter and sugar in the hot cereal. "I make it to all of my children's most important events."
Jasmyna bit into her toast and mentally disagreed. But she didn't want to tell her father that he was wrong.
Tiana happened to notice her daughter looking to have something on her mind and asked, "Is there something you'd like to share, Jasmyna?"
'Just like her to put me on the spot.' Jasmyna thought and shook her head. "Nothing mama. I'm simply enjoying this buttery toast."
Tiana knew better than to believe such a fib. She remembered hearing her daughter ask for her father on their royal trips. It was unfortunate that she never got to spend time with him as much as her brothers did. She decided to let it go and move on to her next oldest child. "Are you excited about teaching the children of Maldonia on preparing a fruit salad, Domenic?"
The young prince wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief before answering, "Yes, if it's anything like last week with the beignets then I look forward to it!"
"Cooking is for sissies!" Teased Dhimani.
"You're only saying that because you've never tried it." Domenic calmly told his brother. Like his father he knew how to keep his cool but like his mother he knew how to quickly put a person in their place.
"He told you!" Doji teased his twin brother.
"No he did not!"
"Yes he did."
"Boys." Naveen said sternly.
They quickly quieted down.
"Sorry papa." They both said.
Naveen moved his eyes to his wife who had a smirk on her lips. "What?"
"You know what." Tiana flirted, looked him up and down before eating her oatmeal.
"Apparently you do, too." Naveen flirted back and winked at her.
She loved that they could still behave like newlyweds without actually displaying it in front of their children. One of her favourite parts of foreplaying with her husband.
"You two have to do much better than that." James laughed. He was well aware of his parents flirty behavior whether in code or openly.
"Eat your breakfast." Tiana told him.
"Papa?" asked Doji.
Naveen focused his attention to his youngest son. "Yes Doji?"
"How long will you be staying for?"
He was a little taken aback by the question, but didn't show in face. "I'll be here for a while. Your mother and I both talked about it on the way down here." He took Tiana's hand. "Right?"
She nodded her head. "Right. We felt that we hardly spend enough time together as a family and decided to cut off some business time for family time."
Jasmyna was excited to hear the news. "Oh, your promise?"
Naveen smiled at his happy daughter. "We promise."

About a half hour later the younger children were escorted by their nannies to their rooms while James went on to his studies. Jasmyna decided to stay behind to speak with her father before going off to her studies.
She saw her parents walking up the stairs, "Papa!" She walked over them.
Naveen stopped at the first step and turned to see his daughter, "Yes Jasmyna?"
Her heart raced as the fear of rejection came to mind, "I was wondering if you have any time could we…um, could we…"
"Out with it." He said.
"Spend some time together? Perhaps a stroll in the garden, or a car ride out?" She asked with her eyebrow raised.
"Of course we can. I enjoy spending time with my only daughter," Naveen smiled. "Now go to your studies before Madam Gia comes looking for you."
Jasmyna beamed and kissed her father on the cheek. "Okay! I'll see you later papa! Bye mama!" She skipped down the hall.
Tiana wrapped her arms around her husband. "Did you see how excited she was?"
"I saw that." He looked down at his wife and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I hate not always having to be here."
"Me too," She agreed. "But you have a job to do."
"Right, but I hate having to always be away. We hardly get to see each other but twice a month? We're lucky to even be spending time together like this."
"And there's me traveling to the restaurant's locations around the world." She added.
"That is very difficult for me to accept," Naveen admitted. He would rather his wife stay at home with the children so that they could have at least one parent around.
"I know that you don't approve of me traveling this much but I want to make sure my employees are keeping Tiana's Palace's reputation with the most respect."
"I understand that, but we have people like René d'Aubigné to do that for you." He pointed out. "I don't know how much I have to keep remidning you about-
Tiana cut him off with a kiss, trying to avoid a fight. "Why don't we enjoy our free time together?"
Naveen gave her a devious grin. "What do you have in mind?"
"Follow me up to the suite and I'll show you what's on my mind." She took his hand and led him up the stairs.

And that was the first chapter! I felt that it was important to re-introduce some old characters and new ones! As you guys can see Naveen and Tiana are still very passionate to one another. They have five children now! I tried to give them all personalities and it might be a bit too early to judge them but based on first impressions alone how are they? And I'm not exactly sure how know how long this story will be but just know that I will try my best to not bore you all with it. As for updates I will try to be quick with them, but I won't make any promises. Life is kind of busy again but they will be here!
