A/N: So here is the first chapter to the sequel. This sequel has everything from family to social rankings, sexism, drama, romance and yes, heartbreak. Naveen being...Naveen. Tiana being well...Tiana. Oh, and reviews are welcome, as always. I know a lot about every decade in the 20th century except the 1930s. For some reason my school never really got into that decade. Crazy that I am writing a fic that now takes place in it. Had no idea that so much happened during that decade besides the depression and all. I'll try to update twice a week, but for now bare with me. Life is 'faldi faldonza' for me right now. Don't know how long this fic will be, but based on what I'm writing so far it looks like it's going to be another long one, just like the last. Well, I do not own Disney nor PATF. Enjoy and review!

Queen of Maldonia II

Our Palace Is Our Home

Only four years have passed since the royal family's lives were turned upside down with so much drama. After their trip to New Orleans to celebrate their daughter A'lia's first birthday, life got easier for everyone after that. Nagina moved out of the palace to live with Jasmine in Giodonia. She was still bitter about Naveen embracing his late sister Tela. He even had a portrait of her in the royal hall with the other family members. A'lia was now five and such a tomyboy while her brother James was six and a half and such a daddy's boy. Naveen just turned twenty-seven and Tiana twenty-six. The peace in the palace was obviously there, and the couple wanted to keep it that way.

Both Naveen and James were in their family stadium playing soccer against two younger male helpers. The father and son duo were winning so far.

"Just one more goal and it's our game, son!" Naveen encouraged his boy. He was his pride and joy.

James kicked the ball into the net, passing the goalie.

"Achidonza! And we win again!" Cheered Naveen, picking his son up.

"Achidonza!" James repeated.

"Congratulations your majesties." Said one of the helpers.

"Thank you." Naveen said. "You two can clean the statium before getting cleaned yourself. You have the rest of the day off."

The servants widen their eyes, thrilled at what they just heard. "Oh thank you your majesty!" They both said, bowing as the father and son left the room.

"Papa, why did you give them the rest of the day off?" James asked.

"I felt that they deserved it." Naveen said, putting his son back down on the floor.

"Papa!" A'lia, Naveen's youngest and only daughter shouted happily as she ran over to him.

Naveen picked her up. "Oh my beautiful princessa! Where is your mother?"

"She is in the princess hall." She then wrinkled her nose. "Ew! You are stinka pilso!"

"Well what do you expect? We just finished an intense game of football!" James said with sarcasm.

Naveen laughed. "Yes, we do smell." He put her back down. "And I do not want you to smell like us."

James opened the door to his room. "Are we still going to go to the game tomorrow afternoon, papa?"

"Of course, now go clean up." Naveen ordered.

The daughter took her father's hand. "Papa may I join you and James?"

"Oh no pumpkin. This is only for boys."

"It's not fair! I love football, too!" The curly-haired girl pouted. "Why must you and James always have to do things together?"

"There you are!" Tiana said to the girl, walking down the hall. "Why did you just up and leave like that?"

"Because tea parties are boring!" A'lia whined.

"But you have company in there." Tiana said, and gave Naveen a kiss. "Had fun?"

"Yep. We won again." He responded, giving her behind a light pat.

"Not surprised." Tiana took their daughter's hand.

"I don't want to go back in there! It's bad enough that I have to wear this poofy dress!"

"Girl you are workin' on my last nerve. This is a charity tea party and you will be joining the other girls." Tiana demanded.

A'lia poked out her bottom lip.

"Oh no you don't. You put that bottom lip back in!" Tiana looked over at her husband and shook her head.

"But I hate tea parties!" A'lia said, now walking back down the hall with her mother.

Naveen laughed as they returned to the princess hall. He thought it was adoarble how his daughter suddenly took an interest in football. 'She will get over it soon enough' He thought to himself as he walked in his room, taking off his shirt, exposing his perfect six-pack. He went straight to the mirror to look at himself and smiled. "Yes, you are the most handsome man on earth."

He flexed his biceps and knew he looked good. "Yes King Naveen, you are-

A knock was heard at the door.

He didn't bother going to see who it was. C"ome in!"

Gabriella, a female helper walked in the room and saw the handsome king. She quickly trued her head. "Um, your highness, is Tiana available? The new oven has arrived. She has been looking forward to-"

"She's in the princess hall." Naveen said, still looking at himself. "Why don't you tell her in there?"

Gabriella curtsied before leaving the room.

Naveen never understood why Tiana was so casual with the help. He thought with all they been through she would be more cautious around people. Her 'southern hospitality' was more galling than anything else because he felt that the help were taking advantage of her,

The king looked at himself once more before undressing and going to take a shower. The thought of bringing up where the help stood with Tiana would be a waste to even ponder about.

The little princess sat bored out of her mind as her mother took pictures with girls in dresses as poofy as hers. There were even pink unicorns wearing tiaras there. She hated having to go to tea and princess parties. She even hated dolls, minus the two her father gave her for her birthday...but she hated mainly anything that was "appropriate" for girls.

"A'lia why are you so upset?" Asked a red haired girl. "Your mother will take photos with you."

"It's not that." A'lia crossed her arms, turning away from her. "Leave me alone!"

The red haired girl did just that, joining the other girls on the other side of the room. A'lia looked over at the girls as they pointed and laughed at her. She had nothing in common with any of them. If she could, she would've punched each and every one of them on the face.

Tiana glanced over at her daughter and shook her head. She knew A'lia wasn't like a lot of girls, and she could relate since she wasn't into all the pink and flashiness girls are usually into. But she had no choice when she had a friend like Charlotte. At least her daughter had more options than she had, and the longer this party was the more she sympathized for the young girl.

"A'lia baby!" She called her daughter.

The princess dragged her way over to her mother. "Yes?"

Tiana bend down and whispered in her ear, "Are you okay?"

"No, I'm ready to leave." She whispered back. "I wish I can play football. Like James."

"Then how about you mention it to your daddy at dinner?" Tiana suggested.

A'lia's face beamed at the diea. "Okay!"

"We're almost done here." Tiana said, rubbing her cheek.

A'lia was happy to hear that. If she saw one more unicorn she was going to scream.

Later that evening during dinner…

Naveen took a sip of wine before asking how everyone's day was.

"Good." "Fun" "Bored." Everyone answered.

Naveen raised an eyebrow at his daughter. "Did you say bored A'lia?"

The princess looked over at her mother.

Tiana nodded her head, encouraging her daughter to speak what was on her mind.

"Well…" The young girl started. "I do not like tea parties!"

"Why not?" Naveen asked, taking a spoonful of his dinner.

"They are boring! And too bright!" A'lia complained.

"They're not boring. You're just weird." Said an annoyed James.

"James." Tiana said.

"No, really! What kind of girl finds teas parties boring and too bright? A weird one."

Naveen laughed a little but stopped when he saw Tiana giving him 'the look'.

"Am I weird, papa?" A sad A'lia asked.

"No you're not weird at all. Some girls like tea parties while others don't. It's a personal preference of yours." He answered, taking another drink.

A'lia frowned. "What's a personal preference?"

Naveen cleared his throat before answering. "It's when you like or dislike something. You find tea parties boring while you like…?"

"Football!" She shouted.

"Football?" James asked.

"Uh, you like football?" Naveen asked. He never thought she was so serious about liking the sport.

"Yes, it's much more interesting than all the poofy dresses and tea parties."

"Football is for boys." James said. "You are definitely weird."

"James, if you say that word one more time than you will go to bed without dessert." Tiana warned.

"But she's saying she likes football! She's a girl!" James pointed out.

"Girls can play football." Naveen said and looked back over at his daughter. "And she will play it."

Tiana smiled.

"Really papa?" A'lia asked, now excited.

"Yes!" Naveen responded. "Now let's finish dinner and-

"Can we play after dinner?" She asked.

Naveen smiled. "We have to eat dessert-

"Then after dessert?" She asked again.

Tiana laughed while James rolled his eyes.

"Tomorrow." Answered the king. "I have to get a few things out of the way first. But tomorrow I am all yours."

A'lia got off her seat and ran over to her father. He picked her up and both hugged.

"Thank you so much papa!"

Later that night, after saying goodnight to the children both Naveen and Tiana went in their suite, ready to go to bed themselves. Tiana was so pleased at how A'lia handled everything with her father despite getting teased from James.

Naveen stretched his arms up while Tiana wrapped her arms around him from behind. "You did good this evening."

Naveen smiled. "I know."

Tiana let him go and started taking off her dress. "A'lia wanted to tell you that for the longest."

Naveen unbuttoned and took off his shirt. "Eh, she needs the attention. Once she realizes how hard the sport is, she'll get over it and move on to her appropriate activities."

Tiana frowned. "You think she's doing this for attention?"

"Yes." He responded. "Why else would she find interest in a sport like football?"

"Have you ever thought that she enjoys it?" She asked.

Naveen shrugged his shoulders. "She's a child. She will like football this week and perhaps uh ballet in the next week." He slipped on some blue pajama pants before getting in the bed.

Tiana rolled her eyes while slipping on her nightgown. "You are just…ugh."

Naveen rested his head on his hands. "I am irresistible, yes I know."

Tiana took her hair down and brushed it. She didn't want to argue, but what Naveen just said to her was not only offensive, but hurtful. A'lia was very good at playing football. Sure she wasn't as good James but with practice she can be. She set the brush down at her make-up table before getting in the bed herself.

Naveen turned off the light on his nightstand before quickly rolling on his side, resting his hand on his wife's tummy. He flashed her his pearly white smile.

Tiana shook her head. "Goodnight Naveen."

"Goodnight indeed…" He leaned over to kiss her but to his disappoint his wife turned her head. "What is it now?"

"I said goodnight."

"And I agreed." Naveen started kissing her neck. "We're going to have a goodnight."

"Sleeping, yes. Because we're doing nothing else." Tiana said, turning away with her back facing him.

Naveen rolled on his back and sighed. Why do you always do this?"

"Because I want to. Now, goodnight."

"Was it something I said?" He asked.

"Good Naveen."

"Fine..." Naveen pulled the covers over him. "Goodnight."
