This is a fanfiction that I've been dying to work on and I'm so glad to finally have the first chapter up. This is a sequel to Go! Princess PreCure, but also an AU where Shut lives in Hope Kingdom and developed a romantic relationship with Towa. This fanfiction is about their daughter Alanna, and the adventure she goes through. I was thinking that the events that happen in this chapter, I could further expand in oneshots. I hope you all enjoy and stay tuned to more chapters.

Chapter 1

A Princess Is Born

Everyone waited anxiously outside of the princess's bedchambers. The midwives insisted that no one was allowed in the room until the baby was born, much to the dismay of the soon to be father of Princess Towa's child.

I should be in there, Shut thought. He really wanted to be right next to his wife as she was giving birth to their child. He wanted to hold her hand and be as supportive as possible while she went through the agony of labor. He owed so much to Towa.

On the day when Dyspear, the witch of despair, was defeated by the Princess PreCure, Shut thought that maybe he could start a new life in Hope Kingdom and possibly find a dream of his own. Before his powers disappeared, Shut went back to the kingdom once it was freed from despair. He also brought Lock along with him, hoping this could be a fresh start for him as well. At first it was awkward for Shut to live in the kingdom. He felt so uncomfortable living with the denizens who were filled with dreams, when he was created by the witch for the purpose of trapping those dreams in a cage of despair. He thought it would be impossible to belong in Hope Kingdom. Lock who was now a scarf, just had an apathetic view on living there. He would have wanted to live somewhere else, but he had no say in the situation, so he shrugged it off.

One day, Shut was wondering around the marketplace still unsure where he would fit in. He also brought Lock with him that he wore around his neck. Shut then stopped when he saw that Towa was just a few feet away from him. The princess was not aware of his presence, because she was fixated on the window display of the music shop.

"She's still so beautiful." Shut quietly said to himself. He remembered how he fell for her charm and beauty when she was the black princess, Twilight, and how upset he was when she turned into Towa.

"You still like her, don't you?" Lock replied.

"Oh, just shut up!" he replied to the scarf in agitation and slight embarrassment. As soon as she heard him speak up, Towa recognized the voice to be none other than Shut. Her eyes left the window and she saw him. Shut soon realized that the princess noticed his presence, and that made him nervously tremble a little, as she started to walk towards him with a sweet smile on her face.

"Shut, I never thought I would see you here." Towa said with genuine cheer. She remembered how he helped her and her friends in their final battle with Dyspear. She also remembered the incident before his change of heart, where he transformed into a snarling cat beast because he was consumed by so much pain and despair. Towa and the PreCure felt so sorry for him that they decided to save him from his despair. She realized that he's been through a lot, and she wanted to help him in any way she could.

"Good morning princess." Shut tried to say properly but was stuttering as he blushed with nervousness. He never would have guessed that Towa would be so happy to see him again, and he had no idea what to say to her. The princess recognized that he was nervous and trying his best to be polite. She found that a bit charming.

"You don't have to call me that, please just call me Towa." Shut was surprised by that suggestion. He was starting to become a little comfortable with the situation.

"If you would prefer that, Towa-sama". That was the first time he ever called her by her real name, rather than Twilight, which made her happy.

"How do you like the kingdom?"

"It's okay, I guess. I would have chosen somewhere else, but I got no choice." Lock responded before Shut could. Towa was surprised to find that the scarf he wore was Lock.

"Lock, Is that you?"

"Yeah it's me." Lock responded nonchalantly as his eyes looked up at Shut. "This guy thought it would be a good idea for us to have a fresh start here, but he's been having a rough time trying to fit in."

"Lock!" Shut barked in agitation.

"Is this true Shut?" The princess asked with a little concern.

Shut sighed and replied, "It's true, I was hoping that I could find a dream of my own if I lived here, but I don't feel right living here after what I did to the people and their dreams."

He looked so guilty and Towa felt sad for him because she could relate to his situation. She remembered when she changed back from Twilight, she felt so guilty for what she did to her kingdom, her brother Kanata, and the people in the human world. She knew how difficult the process was when reforming one's self. She wanted to help Shut feel like he could belong in her kingdom and she developed an idea.

Towa smiled and grabbed Shut's hands. He looked at her with surprise. "Shut," The princess spoke, "can you please come to the castle tomorrow, I think I can help you." He looked puzzled by her request, but he remembered how she saved him and said they could change together for the better. However, he rejected it at first, and thought maybe this time he should accept her help. After all, she is his princess if he's living in her kingdom.

"Alright, I'll meet you tomorrow Towa-sama". He responded with a little smile.

"That's wonderful, and don't worry I'll help you find your place in this kingdom." Towa said enthusiastically. "I apologize, but I have to go back to the castle now. Have a good day, Shut." Then the princess elegantly walked away. She really is beautiful, he thought.

Over the past two weeks, Shut would go visit Towa at her castle, so she could help him find a place in her kingdom. She was quite impressed with his beauty advice on make-up, outfits and accessories. She also noticed that he seemed happy to help people feel beautiful. Towa soon thought of where he could belong. She insisted that he should live in the castle and become an image consultant for the royal family. Shut really liked the idea but was not so sure about living at the castle, however Towa convinced him to do so with her kind and caring personality.

A couple days later, Shut and Lock started living in the Hope Kingdom castle. All the people at the castle were nice and welcoming towards them. Shut even got to see the royal teacher Miss Shamour once again and she congratulated him on the position that the princess gave him. He remembered how she once gave him a beauty lesson to help lift his spirit, and later she gave him a cute, little, cat pawed scarf, so he would not catch a cold. He still had the scarf even though he wears Lock most of the time. The other royal fairies greeted him with warm smiles and made him feel more welcomed. He was mostly an image consultant for Towa. Her brother and parents barely needed his advice, which Shut did not seem to mind. He was more comfortable being in the presence of Towa but not so much with the rest of the royal family, and when they did need his advice on how they looked, he tried his best to be as professional as possible, but inside he was trembling in nervousness. They were kind to him, but he was worried about failing. He never liked that, it reminded of how his former master Dyspear, said he was a failure and he begged her for one more chance to defeat the PreCure. However, he could not defeat them, and he could not return to Dys Dark.

Towa sensed his stress and told him that it was alright if he did fail once in a while; she knew that he would have more successes than failures. Shut really enjoyed being around the princess. It almost reminded him of the time he served her when she was Twilight, the only difference was she now treated him like a friend, unlike Twilight.

He later heard about the story of what happened to the princess when she was young. Apparently, she was tricked into going to the Forest of Despair by his former master. Towa went missing for years and the citizens of the Kingdom fell into despair at the loss of their princess of hope. This was all part of Dyspear's plan, she fed off their sadness to gain enough power to have a human form and then invade. She thought it would be interesting if she erased Towa's memories and heart and made her believe she was the princess of despair. When Twilight could not defeat the PreCure, Dyspear decided she was worthless. When the witch gave Twilight the key to use with the princess perfume, she planned for the girl to use up all her life energy in defeating the PreCure one last time and did not care if she died.

Shut never knew about this story. It happened just after he arrived at the castle and was fawning over how gorgeous Twilight looked in her mode elegant, he had no idea she was going to die at that time. He soon felt guilty at the way he treated her after she became Towa, wanting her to suffer for no longer being his black princess. After hearing the story, Shut ran to the princess's bedroom, and knocked to see if she was there. As soon as the door opened, Shut embraced Towa with a huge hug.

"Shut?" Towa said in utter surprise.

"Towa-sama, I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I had no idea Dyspear took you away from your home, and she was going to let you die when you were Twilight." He said in genuine sympathy. Towa formed a little smile on her face. She hugged him back and gently said "Thank you, for caring about me." She was so grateful for his concern and kindness for her, and after that day, their friendship grew.

Over the years, Shut served the princess and would almost follow her everywhere. He would advise her on her appearance, even though in his mind, there was never a time where Towa looked unappealing. He knew she was beautiful in her appearance, but her kindness to others is what made her truly exquisite. There were many times where he would sit near her as she played her violin. Towa found Shut extremely sweet and charming. The two almost felt like their friendship was growing into possible love for one another, but they never said anything in fear that the other would not feel the same way.

For Towa's 18th birthday, there was to be a ball in honor of the princess. She was to meet any eligible man there and possibly choose one of which she would marry. This upset Shut because he thought Towa would want to be with someone else. Even if she did so, he would still serve her and be her friend. On the night of the ball, Towa met all the men that attended, while Shut stayed near the edge of the wall trying so hard not to look heart broken. Towa wore a lovely ballgown that was the same color she wore when she was Cure Scarlet.

After dancing with every possible suitor, her mother and father quietly asked if she chose someone. Towa looked in Shut's direction, she saw that something was upsetting him, and wondered if he felt the same way for her as she did for him.

"I think I may have found someone, but I have to ask him if he feels the same way." As she walked away to Shut's direction, her parents instantly knew who she chose.

"Shut, can I ask you to do something?"

"What is it that you need Towa-Sama?" She did not say anything, instead she gently grabbed his collar. As she closed her eyes, pulled him closer to her face, Shut felt a fluttery feeling in his stomach and knew what she was doing.

As soon as their lips met, they both felt a nice spring day-like warm sensation all over their bodies, as well a feeling of euphoria. For Shut this was the happiest he had ever felt in his entire life and wished it could last forever. Towa knew the moment that they kissed she did not want to be with any other man, she wanted to be with Shut.

When that magical moment of burning love and excitement ended, they pulled away from one another and waited for one to speak up.

"Shut" the princess spoke with a dreamy look in her eyes. "I want to be with you."

"Towa-sama..." Shut did not know what else to say.

"Will you..." Towa paused with a light rosy blush on her face "spend the rest of your life with me?"

"Are you saying you want..." Shut's entire face was becoming red with nervousness "To marry me?" before responding the princess gently hugged him "Of course. I love you Shut." Hearing those words, made Shut slowly shed some tears. He hugged his princess back and responded "I love you too. Yes, I will marry you." As the two kissed one more time, fireworks exploded, filling the night sky with many beautiful, shimmering colors.

They were married a week later, and it was biggest event of the year in Hope Kingdom. All the church pews were filled with people, and those who could not enter the building, waited outside in anticipation to see the princess bride and her new husband.

Shut looked so gorgeous wearing a light blue wedding suite with a frock coat, and a black rose pinned to the collar. He also had his hair down, which most of the castle staff members said many times to him that he should do that more often because he has such nice, long, beautiful hair, and it is a shame that he does not flaunt so much.

The groom waited nervously for his bride. While waiting he looked at his soon to be family-in-law sitting in the front right pew. The king, queen and Prince Kanata looked at him with happiness and joy that he will be part of the family. It was still hard for him to believe that he would be part of the royal family, which intimidated him a little. He then looked over to the front left pew which had the royal fairies sitting there, all in their human forms. The maid Puff and her older brother, the prince's personal butler Aroma, expressed childlike excitement for what was to happen. The royal teachers, Miss Shamour and Mr. Kuroro where sitting next to them. Mr. Kuroro volunteered to hold on to Lock during the wedding, since everyone should be there, and it would be awkward for Shut to be wearing him during his wedding. Both the teachers quietly waved to the groom with delight and even Lock's eyes showed some sign of wonder to the situation.

Once the pipe organs began to play, everyone looked towards the entrance to see the princess. She was a sight to witness in her dazzling wedding dress and expressed a face of content when she stepped next to Shut.

When the minister finished speaking the words to bind Towa and Shut together, he said that now it was time to make it official by kissing the bride. Shut did so and this kiss that he and Towa shared for the third time, was filled with more passion than the last two they had.

The new married couple left the church building and the crowds blissfully cheered to them, wishing them the best. Later there was a wedding reception held at the castle, and almost everyone in the kingdom came in their best outfits. There was dancing, laughter and many individuals told the princess how happy they were for her.

As the hours passed till it was close to midnight, the reception was dying down and people were leaving for their homes. The new couple went to Towa's bedchamber which would now be Shut's as well. Before the party ended, Shut asked Mr. Kuroro if Lock could still stay with him until the next day. Lock instantly knew why they did not want him in their room for that night. Shut and Towa were nervous at first, but they felt ready to take their love to the next level. That night was filled with passion and they knew that they were meant to be together.

The next few weeks were blissful for the new couple. Shut hardly ever left his wife's side, except when she had done her royal duties. Everything was normal for them until a month after their wedding, Towa started to act strange. There were times where she was extremely happy to be with Shut but would quickly be filled with sorrow wishing she could see her friends from the human world because she missed them so much. She also became more tired and dizzy. It really concerned Shut when she became nauseous and fainted. He took her to their bedchamber and frantically asked for a doctor. The doctor insisted that no one should be in the room while he tried to find a diagnosis for the princess. Shut was nervous because he did not know what he would do if Towa had something severe. Trying to avoid the horrid thought, He went to the marketplace to buy her the most beautiful bouquet of the reddest roses to cheer his wife up.

When Shut returned to the castle, he was surprised to find the bedchamber door open. The doctor was no longer in the room, and Towa was sitting in their bed, with a look of worry on her face.

"Towa, are you alright?" Shut handed her the roses which put a small smile on her face.

"Oh, thank you."

"What did the doctor say? It's nothing severe is it?" Shut said with a bit of anxiety.

"It's nothing like that." The princess then placed her hand on her stomach, "However, I am a bit worried if I'm ready to be a mother." Shut was confused by what she said. Towa then told him life changing news for both of them.

"Shut, I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby." Hearing those words, Shut was struck with extreme happiness, but also fear. It's not that they did not want the child, but they had no experience with taking care of another life and feared making a wrong decision that would ruin their child's life. They feared that they would not be good enough parents.

Both looked at one another and realized that they will do their best to raise the child, in the meantime they would do all that they could to prepare for its arrival. For the next eight months, the princess and her husband read every possible book on parenting and asked many for advice on the subject. Shut aided Towa on everything so she could take it easy and things can be pleasant as possible during her pregnancy.

It was early in the morning; the couple were still in their bed when Towa nudged her husband to wake him up. She told him she thinks it is time for her to have the baby. Shut instantly jumped to his feet and quickly ran all over the castle telling everyone the baby's coming, he found the midwives and asked them to aid the princess's labor. They went into the chambers, but the midwives said no one else was allowed in the room.

Hours passed, but Shut, Lock, Kanata, the king and queen, and the royal fairies, still waited outside the bed chambers. Finally, one of the midwives opened the door, she had a smile on her face and told the waiting crowd eagerly "It's a girl. And the mother is doing fine."

Shut was relieved to hear that Towa was alright and he was ecstatic to hear that he had a daughter. The midwife went to him and said that he can now enter the room to see his family.

Shut gently opened the door trying to be as calm as possible, but his mind was racing with excitement. He saw his wife in the bed holding a bundle of wool blankets covering their child. Towa looked exhausted; Shut could only imagine the pain she went through. He gently hugged his wife and said, "I love you" to her.

"I love you too." The princess gently held the bundle of blankets and with a little smile revealed the face of their brand-new baby girl.

"Here, I want you to hold her now. She already got to know me before she went to sleep, now I want her to meet her father once she wakes up." At first Shut didn't think it was a good idea, but his wife gave him a smile that told him it will be alright. As he held his baby, she started to squirm which made her father nervous that she was going to cry. However, when she opened her eyes, she did not let out any cries, instead she looked at her father with her big, wide eyes, and smiled.

Shut took a good look at his baby. She had short hair in the color of light orange, and her eyes were green, but unlike her father's eyes, they were a deeper shade of the color. Shut thought that his baby inherited his wife's beauty and felt so happy at the thought of raising their child to be as wonderful of a princess as Towa was.

"She's so beautiful."

"That's why I want to give her a name that has that meaning." Towa said with a tired yet happy tone. "I was thinking that maybe Alanna would be a good name."

Shut's eyes gleamed with joy when hearing that and looking at their child.

"That's a perfect name." Shut shouted with cheer, looking at their little Alanna, "It's also fitting for a princess."

"Yes," Towa scooched a little closure to her husband, "I want her to be a princess that is not only beautiful, but also strong and kind. I hope she'll become a grand princess."

"I want to do my best to make her as wonderful of a person as you are Towa." Then the two parents kissed one another, with Alanna happily excited at what was occurring.

As the new parents engaged with their baby and thinking what kind of a person she would grow up to be, they were oblivious to the fact that they were being watched. A small, black crow was perched on the windowsill. It glared with disgust at sight of the new family and wanted to get rid of that happiness they had. As it flew away, it started to develop a plan on what it would do in the future.
