He will not disappoint so don't give up on him yet! LOL! I'm like one of those girlfriends who make up excuses for their 'bad' boyfriends. Let's see if he'll change his ways in this chapter.

Queen of Maldonia II

A Sour Start

Naveen woke up in the bed he and Tiana shared for a brief time after getting married almost eight years ago. The fight they had just last night was the worse they ever had. And he regretted a lot of the words he chose to use, especially on with his wife. He never thought of her as trash, better yet a commoner...except for the time they were frogs, but that changed dramatically. To see the hurt in her eyes when he called her such words guilt him and not to mention the slaps she gave him still stung his right cheek. She might've been a tiny woman, but her heavy hands made it otherwise. The love for his wife never changed and he wish he would've handled her spanking James differently. He remembered the night he left after the fight and furious he was...

Last night...

Naveen ran down the stairs, not knowing James and A'lia were following him down.

"Papa! Wait!" The princess shouted.

Naveen made it to the front door before hearing his daughter's voice. He turned to look at her and noticed the redness on her left cheek. "A'lia..."

The princess ran to hug her father. "Please don't leave. Its all my fault, not mama's!"

James was still angry about getting spanked. "Let's go papa! We're not wanted here!"

The king got down to embrace his daughter and son. "Stay here with your mother."

"Are you going to be gone forever?" A'lia asked.

"No." He answered.

James hugged his father. "Please let me go with you!"

Naveen kissed his son and daughter on the head before standing back up. "I'll be back. Your mother and I just need to spend some time apart for a little while. I'll be back in the morning."

Tears ran down A'lia's cheeks. "Don't leave papa..."

Naveen couldn't look at his daughter, so he opened the door and left the two heartbroken children in the livingroom. As he was walking down the porch stairs he saw Leni and the other guards outside.

"Your highness! Where would you like to ride?" One of the guards asked.

Naveen shook his head and waved. Leni knew what that meant.

"He'll be fine. Just needs to be left alone." Leni said to the guards as he watched the king walk down the side walk.

It took only twenty minutes for Naveen to make it to the home he and his wife shared.

"At least I have somewhere to go tonight." He said to himself as he pulled out a key from a small secret brick door next to the front door. As he entered the living room he saw the wedding photo of he and Tiana sitting on the coffee table. He picked it up and sighed. That day was his happiest and proudest. Tiana stole his heart and gave him actual hopes and dreams. He was looking forward to working alongside his wife on her...their restaurant and starting their new life together, even making a few of their own. Then that all changed when he received the dreadful phone call that night about his ailing father.

"If only I seen the clues before he left." Naveen thought as he headed up the stairs.

He layed in the bed thinking about the fight again, and the more he thought about it, the more distraught he felt. To speak to his wife the way he did. To see his children, especially his daughter in tears. To be alone...he hated being alone without his family, and for the first time he realized that was he slowly becoming much like his father. The one man who he despised.

Naveen closed his eyes, holding back his own tears. He knew he had to change his ways before he lose the most important person in his life. The reason for his happiness. The reason for his strength. But his pride kept him from getting back up and going back to her which added even more frustration. He rolled to his side and was faced with another picture of he and Tiana, but this time from their honeymoon in Paris. A small smile cracked on his lips as he looked at his wife.

"So beautiful..." He said, rubbing his finger over her face. Sitting back up he cursed at himself in Maldonian. Instead of spending Christmas night with his wife and children he was spending in an empty house. All because of him opening his big mouth after Tiana gave their son a spanking. He will admit that his son could be a royal pain, but he was still his son and didn't agree with him getting spanked. But his disagreement was the reason he was here alone and not with his wife in the first place.

Lying back on the bed he could only hope that tomorrow would be a better day one for him and Tiana. At least he hoped so.

...

He was thankful Eudora kept up with the home for he and Tiana, but not so thankful that he overindulge the night before. His woke up with stomach pains and they were killing him.

Louis walked in the bedroom. "Hey Naveen I just let myself in—oh my." He stopped when he saw Naveen shirtless curled up on the bed. "You alright?"

Naveen groaned.

"A sudden case of overeating." The alligator said. "Why are you over here anyway? Tiana doesn't want to talk to anyone and the kids are as quiet as mice. What happened?"

Naveen sighed outloud. "Tiana and I had a fight lastnight."

"About?"

"Ugh." Naveen groaned. "For spanking James. Tiana spanked James."

"Man, it's about time!" Louis said, but saw the king giving him an angry look. "I mean—what a horrible mother!" Then he stopped again when Naveen's look never changed. "I mean-how am I suppose to feel?"

"Nothing…" Naveen answered, holding his stomach. "I need some soda mint tablets…" He moaned. "…or however you call it here. In Maldonia we call it tuchana kazilia"

Louis didn't know what to do. "Uh…I can get Tiana over here-

"I thought she wasn't speaking to anyone." Naveen cut off the gator.

"She will when I tell her how sick you are!"

Naveen didn't have anytime to be stubborn. "Just tell her to come here...now! Mi stomacha iz y gosi rahamaza sofo!" (My stomach is in knots and this heartburn is killing me)

Louis raised an eyebrow, now confused. "Uh…English, please?"

"My stomach hurts!"

"And if she doesn't want to come?"

"She has to. I need her." He whined. "Tell her that I am sorry for everything and that I love her!"

"Alright buddy. I'll get her!" Louis said, before leaving.

"Why do I feel as if I will end up suffering whether she gets here or not?" Naveen asked himself.

Tiana sat on the sofa watching Eudora braiding A'lia's hair. The morning has been quiet for her since she wasn't really speaking to anyone. The fight she had with Naveen the night before was the worse they ever had. But she felt she was right when she spanked James. What was hurting her were Naveen's judgmental words. 'Trash commoner'

Eudora looked up at her daughter and heard about the fight through the children. It really upset her to see both children so upset over their parents, and knew that they weren't at all used to seeing that from the two.

"Ouch!" A'lia said.

"Oh, I'm sorry baby." Eudora apologized. "Grandma is almost done." She tied the ribbon at the end of the braid. "You have all this beautiful long hair and ya mama never braided it?"

"Her hair can't hold braids, mama." Tiana said.

"I guess Naveen's genes are that strong, but I can make these hold." Eudora said tying the other ribbon. "All done."

The little girl got up and stood in front of her mother. "How does it look?"

"Your two braids are very pretty just like the girl who's wearing them" Tiana smiled.

The princess returned the smile before going back to her grandmother, giving her a hug. "Thank you so much grandmama."

"No problem baby."

"A'lia go wash your face and brush your teeth." Tiana instructed.

The princess put her hand on her mother's tummy bump. "Okay. Bye baby brother." She said before going up the stairs.

Tiana looked at her mother and saw the look she was giving her. "What?"

"When are you gonna talk to me about the fight you and Naveen had after the Christmas dinner?" Eudora asked.

"It's no big deal." Tiana lied.

Eudora shook her head. "Well it's a big deal to me since you two were fighting in my house and worrying those children sick."

"I spanked James and Naveen got angry about it." Tiana shrugged.

"You spanked James?" Eudora asked. "What did he do?"

"He slapped A'lia on the face."

"Lord have mercy…I knew she was looking a little red on her left cheek! He had no business hitting that little girl." Eudora said. "You did right for spanking that behind."

"I know, but in Naveen's privileged world spanking is a trash commoner's way of discipline."

The middle age woman raised an eyebrow. "Run that by me again?"

"Naveen said that I was a trash commoner for spanking James."

"He called you, his wife and mother of his children a trash commoner?"

Tiana was embarrassed, but she couldn't lie. "Yes."

Eudora closed her eyes and sighed. "He have some nerve! After all you sacrificed for him? All the hard work you've done and stress I know you have to go through from living over there in the first place? He called my baby a trash commoner?"

"Mama, I'll deal with this-

"No, I want to talk to him! Where is he?"

"I don't know, and I don't care." Tiana crossed her arms.

"Oh, you care. He is your husband afterall, but he still had got a lot to learn if he thinks he can walk all over you and tell you what to do with your children. You gave birth to them and spend more time with them than he does!" Eudora was now furious.

Louis walked into the house and livingroom out of breath. "Tiana!"

"Louis what's wrong with you?" Asked Tiana.

"It's Naveen. He needs you right now."

She frowned standing up. "What's wrong with him?"

"He's sick. I went to check up on him at your house and he's in your room whining like a baby." Louis said.

Eudora laughed and covered her mouth. "Serves him right...trash commoner."

"Mama..." Tiana picked up her purse. "He could be really sick."

"Let him suffer...no wait. Let me go with you. I have some words for him." She said, following her daughter out the door.

Louis was about to walk out, but Eudora stopped him. "Um, Louis?"

The alligator looked down at the woman. "Yes, Miss Eudora?"

"You're looking after he children for us."

"But Tiana-

"We got this." She cut him off while walking down the porch stairs.

Louis closed the door. "Why do I have to babysit?"

()()()()

Tiana walked in the home and the first thing she saw was a wedding photo of her and Naveen on the coffee table. She picked it up.

Eudora watched her daughter and felt bad for her.

The queen sat the picture back on table before heading up the stairs.

"Babycakes, if it's alright I would still like to speak with your husband."

"After I give him some of this stuff." Tiana said, opening the door to the bedroom. She saw saw a shirtless Naveen curled up on the bed.

"Tiana?" He whined, hearing the door open.

"Yes, it me." She looked back at her mother who shook her head

"Take care of him first."

She walked in the room before closing the door. "How bad does your stomach hurt?"

"Very bad." He rolled on his back to look up at his wife.

"When did the pain start?" She asked.

"When I woke up this morning." Naveen answered. "Did you bring the tuchana kazilia?"

"No soda mints here." Tiana answered, taking a small bottle and spoon from her purse. "But I did bring this medicine Mama Odie gave me for my nausea."

Naveen looked at the dark blue bottle. "Why are you giving me medicine for nausea?"

"It's just a remedy for stomach problems."

Naveen then slapped himself off the arm. "Damn mafibas. I forgot how horrible they are here."

Tiana rolled her eyes. "If you didn't have the window so wide open then you wouldn't have to worry about mosquitoes." She closed the window before sitting on the bed. "Alright…" She opened the bottle and poured a small amount in a spoon.

"But it's December…shouldn't they be dead?" He asked.

"Open your mouth." She instructed.

He did as told and gagged at the taste of the medicine. "Ugh. How could you take this on a daily basis?"

"Shut up. Your stomach pains will be gone in a couple of minutes. Now lay back down" She said as he laid back down with his hands on his abs. She could help but to laugh. "Your eyes got too big for your stomach. That's what you get."

"I cannot help it if your food is so damn good." Naveen responded. "Ey sonza fa hestigon-

"Enoughi feniza el Maldonian!" Tiana cut him off (Enough with the Maldonian)

Naveen started noticing the pain going away. He sighed in relief and was thankful his wife was there to help him. "I'm sorry Tiana, but you know I speak Maldonian when I am uncomfortable."

"Mm-hmm." Tiana rolled her eyes. "I take it you're just fine now?"

Naveen smiled. "Yes."

"Good." She said, standing up.

Naveen quickly sat up and took her hand. "Wait—Tiana?"

She looked down at him.

"I, uh…I would like to apologize for my choice of words." He said. "What I said was uncalled for and furthest from the truth."

"I know." Tiana said and pulled her hand from her husband's hold.

"Wait! Tiana!" Naveen said. "Don't go! I need you."

She closed her eyes and turned back to look at her shirtless husband. "I'll see you later." And left the room.

Naveen sighed in defeat. The look in his wife's eyes said it all. She was still hurt by his words and she had every right to be.

Suddenly, Eudora walked in with her hands on her hips.

Naveen sat back up. "Ti...Eudora? What are you doing here?"

"Why do you think I'm here?" She asked.

Naveen shrugged. "Is it about the fight me and Tiana had last night?"

"Bingo." She sat at the foot of the bed. "Naveen you know I like you right?"

"Yes."

"And you also know that you are like a son to me...a son I never had."

Naveen nodded. "Yes, I know this-

"Can you shut up and let me talk?" She interrupted him. "Do you love my daughter?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I love Tiana!"

"Then why belittle her? Your wife? The mother of your children?"

"I know what I said was wrong." Naveen admitted. "It was all out of anger for what she did to my son."

"Your son?" Eudora questioned him.

"I meant our son...my son with Tiana...ugh. You know what I meant."

"James has been acting up." Said Eudora.

"Yes, I know that but I believe, my family always believed that words are most powerful."

"But words don't always work Naveen. James is a bright young boy but doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, and it is your job as a father to tell him when he is wrong. He hit your daughter. Your baby girl!"

Naveen remained quiet.

"My grandson needed that spanking. He isn't respectful to his mother or sister, and if you don't put a stop at this then he will test you, and I know you won't let another man, even if he is your son try to rule your home."

Naveen sighed because he knew Eudora was right.

Eudora watched her son-in-law and had to get something out. "Do you hit my daughter?"

Naveen looked at her dead in the eyes, thinking about his own mother and the hurt his father caused for her.

Eudora took it the wrong way. "So, you hit my daughter?"

"What?" Naveen shook his head. "No, I would never hurt Tiana. She's the love of my life." He ran his fingers through his hair before continuing. "I would never hurt her, but it seems as if I am becoming my father the more I think about my mistakes. Recently, I sound out that my father was abusive to my mother. He married her when she was still a child and he knew he could walk all over her." His guilt returned. "I made a vow to never hurt my wife, but I did that by verbally assualting her."

Eudora heard his tone and knew he was hurt.

"I'm reliving my father's life and I am practically raising James the same way he raised me. My father was gone a lot and left me do whatever I wanted growing up. I got away with a lot until I was old enough for them to finally cut me off." He explained. "I was actually a lot like James the more I think about it. My parents would talk at me or have the servants do their jobs for them and I would just brush them off because they meant nothing to me..." He stopped when he realized what he was saying.

"You need to stop that cycle with James." Eudora said, standing up. "Your family is use to male domination and for Tiana, a strong woman to spank James, a boy didn't sit well with you."

"You're right." Naveen admitted. "It didn't."

Eudora started at the door, but turned to look back at her son-in-law. "Naveen?"

He looked at her.

"I don't ever want you to disrespect my daughter the way you did last night. She did what she thought was best of that boy. You may want to change that tradition of disciplining your children. Because if you continue to have James carry on the way that he is now, there's no telling what he'll do next if you do nothing about it." She gave Naveen an emotionless expression. "And try to talk down on my babycakes again if you're bad."

"Eudora-

"And if I find out that you are doing the same to A'lia...but knowing my daughter, she wold never let you get that far. She would've already left after dealing with your high and mighty ass." And with that, Eudora left the room.

Naveen sighed. "Faldi faldonza..."

Eudora closed the door before walking over to her daughter. "I think he's slowly understanding babycakes."

Tiana gave her mother a small smile. "Thank you."

"Anytime...now if you excuse me I will have Leni drive me home."

The queen started walking with her mother. "I'll ride back with you-

"No, go talk to your husband. He heard what I had to say, but I'm sure he'll listen to you."

Tiana frowned, not understanding what her mother just said. "What?"

"Just go to your husband." Eudora encouraged. "I'll see ya'll later." She said as she walked down the stairs.

Tiana rolled her as she she opened the door to see Naveen sitting with his hands covering his face. She closed the door and slowly walked over him. "Hey..."

Naveen wiped his eyes before looking up at his wife. "I thought you were gone."

She shook her head 'no' and sat beside him. "Just my mama."

"Tiana I regret ever calling you a trash commoner." He caressed her face. "I was wrong about everything."

She listened as her husband continued to apologize.

"Spanking James was wrong for me because of how my parents raised me. As you know, I was never really close with my parents growing up. Sure there would be projects or royal appearances that involved my family, or helping out my father at his request…but whenever I misbehaved it would be dealt with from the servants and they were afraid to really say anything because they're beneath me. I guess it was always that way for my family. Never having time to discipline." He sighed. "When James was born I promised myself that I would try not to make the same mistakes my father made with me. I would step my foot down and discipline, vocally to him and not at him."

Tiana remembered his promise and understood , but didn't agree with his way of discipline. "Naveen I know you mean well with our children, but honestly from my experience growing up there were times spankings would be used as a form of discipline."

Naveen didn't agree. "I don't believe in hitting…spanking a child. It's abuse to me. I heard of some royal families or higher ranking families who spank but my family has never done it and I would like it to remain that way…"

Tiana sighed in annoyance and was about to stand, but Naveen took her hand.

"…but I am willing to compromise." He finished.

She nodded her head and sat back down. "Good."

"And I will definitely work on holding my tongue when I get angry." He kissed her hand. "You are far from trash and a commoner. You're my treasure, my heart, my soul, my body." He kissed her hand again. "My strength, and I can't ever think of losing that."

Tiana slowly wrapped her arms over his shoulders.

Naveen completed the embrace by wrapping his arms around her, holding her tight. "I don't ever want to lose you or our children. You are my life, the reason I wake up everyday."

"We will never leave you Naveen, but you have to realize that I don't like spanking our children either, but we should consider it if they are disobedient. We have good children, even if they aren't perfect." Tiana explained.

"You are definitely right, they aren't perfect either." He kissed her on the cheek. "But I will most definitely change when it comes to our son."

"And A'lia?" She pulled back from the hug.

"Yes, A'lia too. I know that I don't spend as much time with our little princessa as I should. There has to be something we both enjoy doing together besides football which I will not talk about right right now."

Tiana knew her husband wasn't fond of the idea that his daughter like the sport. "She blamed herself for our fight."

Naveen shook his head. "She has no idea how long we had this disagreement. I will talk to her."

"You should. You'd be surprise at how similar you two are." She said with a smile.

Naveen smiled back. "She's a lot like me? How?"

"She loves playing with your ukulele when you aren't using it, and she's pretty good at it."

"I got to hear her play." Naveen said.

"She can dance and you know she didn't get that from me." Tiana said.

"You have improved." Naveen laughed a little before getting serious again. "But that fight we had was…horrible. Everything about it was."

Tiana look at her husband's honey colored eyes and knew he was sincere, like he always was. She also noticed his eyes watering up a little. She smiled. "I hate any fight we have." Putting her hand over his cheek. "You don't have to cry about it."

Naveen laughed a little. "You're the only woman I ever cried over and I have no shame whatsoever."

"I've never seen a man look so beautiful while crying." Tiana said, even in his roughest he still looked good.

Naveen frowned. "I am not beautiful. I'm handsome."

Tiana caressed her husband's shaved face. "Then handsome."

"I don't deserve you." Naveen said, kissing her hand that was on his face. "This hand slapped some sense into my stubborn head."

Tiana leaned forward to kiss his right cheek. "Better?" She asked.

He nodded his head. She had no idea how aroused he got from that innocent kiss.

The two just gazed at one another, thinking of what to say or do next.

The king had something in mind. He looked down at his wife's lips and back at her hazel/brown eyes.

Tiana felt his eyes looking at her and knew what was on his mind. She too was feeling the same way due to his gazes, but she couldn't give him her this soon.

"That dress..." He licked his lips looking down at her breasts and back up at her eyes again. "It looks good."

Tiana crossed her legs, catching Naveen's attention. "Your legs looks really good, too..." He put on hand on her thigh, running it up and down her and soft and smooth skin.

The king's simple sensual touches was driving the queen crazy.

He then cupped her face in his other hand. "You look good...so beautiful." And pressed his lips onto hers.

"Mmm...no…" She pulled back, trying to fight the urge.

Naveen pulled her back in his arms and started unbuttoning the back of her dress. He knew she wanted what he wanted. "Why not? We are in this house all by ourselves…our house to be exact." His lips touched her neck.

"Naveen…" Tiana moaned, tilting her head to the side as the dress fell off her shoulders.

He moved his lips down to her breastbone, unsnapping her bra. Kissing each breasts.

"Mmm." Tiana moaned. "Stop…"

"Come on mi benita." Said the king, pulling her on top of him. "Let us renzi y del panza."

Tiana couldn't resist so she pressed her lips on her husband's neck, down his toned chest. "Renzi y del panza."

Naveen exhaled as his wife spoke Maldonian while kissing on him. He adored her southern accent, and there was something about her speaking his language that aroused him to the fullest.

"Tiana." He moaned as she kissed pass his navel. "Oh, Tiana…"

She looked up at him "How bad do you want me?"

He looked down at her. "Real bad…I want all of you..." His eyes rolled in the back of his head when he felt her hand brush over his erection. She then unbuttoned his trousers. Naveen helped by slipping off his pants and boxers.

Tiana rolled her eyes.

"What?" Naveen asked, breathing hard. "I thought you needed help?"

Instead of making a smart remark she pulled off her panties instead. Positioning herself on top of her husband. She lowered her face to his until their lips touched. Both tongues dancing.

"Mmm." Naveen moaned, his hands rubbing over her hips and derrière. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Tiana said, lips still touching.

Naveen moved his lips on her neck. "And you will always be equal to me. My only queen."

"I better be." Tiana slightly lifted up her hips and lowered herself on Naveen. Feeling every inch of him deep inside of her.

"Achidonza…" Naveen breathed out.
