Naveen gazed lovingly at his wife as she stood in the kitchen calmly chopping up vegetables for the dinner party they were having later on that night. She always cooked with a soft smile on her face and her thick black hair pulled away from her cocoa colored face. She hummed while she cooked…and danced sometimes. That was, in Naveen's opinion, when she was her most beautiful. Aside from when they first got married of course.
Naveen allowed her to have the kitchen to herself for now. Even though he enjoyed sharing in something his wife loved, he knew this was her moment when all of life's problems fell away. She could have that.
"Tia?" He spoke up.
"Hm?" She replied.
"I've been thinking about something my love."
"And what's that Naveen?"
"I was just thinking," He snuck up behind her and grabbed her around her waist making her giggle and swat at him, "Let's have a baby."
Suddenly Tiana's chef's knife dropped with a loud clang into the stainless steal sink.
"W-what? Naveen you can't be serious…are you?"
Naveen spun to look into his wife's big brown eyes. "I've never been more serious about anything in my life other than loving you."
Tianna's expression grew panicked. It certainly wasn't the way Naveen was expecting her to react to this news. He thought she'd be as excited as him, but instead she turned her back and continued to chop vegetables, all be it a tad more vigorously than necessary.
Finally she spoke; "Naveen, a baby is…a big step. A big important step in a couple's life and I just don't know if we're ready."
Naveen put his lips up to her ear; "Well how will we know if we don't try and imagine how much fun we could have trying."
Tianna jumped "OW!" She exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Naveen asked jumping slightly himself.
Tianna grabbed a clean kitchen towel and wrapped it around her finger.
"Ohhh oh oh!" She stepped away from Naveen.
"Tia?" He reached after her, but Tianna pulled away from her husband and ventured into the half bathroom to 'nurse' her perfectly healthy finger.
Tianna twiddled her fingers feeling very much like a child that had just been caught stealing cookies before dinner. "Momma, Charlotte, I think I'm pregnant." She confessed.
"WOO HOO!" Eudora and Charlotte both exclaimed. The older woman threw up her fedora in excitement she and Charlotte hugged one another, bouncing up and down like giddy school girls.
"Oh! I'm gonna be an auntie." Charlotte squealed in her southern drawl.
"And I'm gonna be a grandmamma!" Eudora replied. The two omen squealed again oblivious to the third woman in the room's worry.
"Tia!" Charlotte turned on her suddenly, "I have the perfect name for my baby girl: Princess!" Her over enthusiastic drawl made it come out like Puh-Reen-Sess.
"Or what about naming him after your daddy? A third." Eudora suggested.
She and Charlotte continued to be at odds with one another about the sex of the unborn child. Still ignoring Tianna.
"You two STOP! Ya'll don't get it!" Tianna exclaimed frantically.
Charlotte and her mother turned to face her finally taking in the worry on her pretty face.
"Well why not honey?" Eudora asked and then she and Charlotte both gasped as they each had the same inconceivable thought.
"Is it his?" They whispered in unison.
"What?" Tianna screeched, "of course it is! This child is a product of me and Naveen's undying love for each other."
"Then what's the problem?" Her mother asked.
"I don't know if I want it." Tianna answered. (A/N Dialogue from the Nanny! Slightly modified of course.)
"What should I do?"
Charlotte sat down next to Tianna on the long couch and wrapped her arm around her friend.
"Tia, honey, why would you not want to have your prince's baby?"
"Because! Naveen and I just got married and I'm not sure if I'm ready to share him yet." Tianna pouted, "Oh what am I to do?"
Well originally I intended for this story to be a one shot, but because I'm a bit long winded and have a hard time condensing my thoughts into one long chap, I decided to make this atleast a three shot or longer. My hats off to people who can create magnificent one shots cause that mess is hard!
