A/N: To Mylinda, it is very safe to have sex during the entire pregnancy, unless the pregnancy is in danger or "high-risk". Then the doctor would advise to not have sex. (In Tiana's case, Naveen can come and get it whenever she wants him to) I've been to almost every prenatal appointment with my sister and a friend and the doctors basically said the same thing since their pregnancies were 'low-risk'. And the fact that I have an uncle who has delivered thousands of babies in his career as a obgyn. I ask him so many questions when writing this story and of 'Queen Of Maldonia' because it involves pregnancy. He does not recommend sex after the baby is born because the cervix is still open and viruses, infections could easily get in. Then there's ripping in the birth area in could get infected by the penis or fingers, hands. Air getting inside during sex could cause air embolism which could be deadly. It's always smart to wait six to eight weeks, and to have your gyno exam you on the six/eight week check-up to see if your vagina and cervix are fully healed...wow, I sound like a teacher right now. heh. Um...let's just get back to the story. lol.
A Son For A King
Confusion Part Two
Tiana and Naveen opened James' bedroom and saw the young boy petting his dog's head.
"James baby." Tiana said. "Come here."
James picked up his pup and walked over to his parents. "Yes mama?"
"I heard that you're upset. Do you want to talk about it?" Tiana sat on the bed. James sat beside her and Naveen took a seat by his son.
James shrugged his shoulders, and pet his pup. "I'm okay."
"James you were pretty angry earlier." Naveen said. "You can tell us anything."
"I'm okay!" James said a little louder.
"Watch your tone. He is your daddy." Tiana reminded her son.
James crossed his arms.
Tiana sighed. "James if you are still worried about the new baby then-
"I'm not worried mama. The baby will need a lot of attention from you and daddy." He looked up at his father.
"The baby will need your help too, son." Naveen said.
"No it won't because you and mama are going to get the nannies to assist you, and you will forget about me." James looked down, holding back his tears. "You already forgot about me already daddy. You don't even play football or baseball with me anymore."
Naveen frowned. "Is that why you are angry with me? Because I do not spend enough time with you?"
James nodded his head, as the pup jumped off of him.
"James, I apologize for not being able to spend time with you. It's just that responsibility I have as being king is very hectic. I have to take care of not just my country but two other countries which can be difficult to find time to do anything." Naveen tried to explain to his son. "But I promise you that I will make time for us. Okay?"
James nodded his head.
"We could play some football after this?" Naveen asked. "How about it? Just the two of us."
James smiled and gave his father a hug. "Okay. I'm sorry for saying that I hate you. I don't."
Naveen smiled at his son. "I knew you didn't."
Tiana smiled. She loved seeing her two favorite men on better terms.
James then hugged his mother. "I'm sorry for saying that I hate you, too."
"Aw baby." Tiana hugged her son. "Now you and your daddy try to play fair and be safe in that sport room."
"We will." James said.
Tiana got up from the bed. "Well if you two excuse me, I have to visit the children's hospital today."
"Oh, that's today?" Naveen asked. "I forgot about that."
"Yep. Which is why I had to wear this beautiful dress." She gave Naveen and James kisses.
"I thought you wore it for me?" Naveen raised an eyebrow. And gave her another kiss.
James covered his eyes. "Please, stop it!"
Tiana laughed. "You two have fun." She left the room.
"Well James…" Naveen stood up. "Let's go play some foot ball."
"Can Lightning come?" James asked.
Naveen nodded his head. "Sure. But he has to play referee since we are playing one on one."
"Deal!" James agreed.

Tiana, escorted by two guards shook the hands of the sick children at the hospital. By policy, she had to wear a mask and even though she didn't agree with it she knew that she had to if she wanted to meet the children. All the stories she heard from the children were uplifting and she had a new appreciation of life because of them.
"I would like to be an artist when I grow up." One boy said to the young queen. "Here, I painted this picture of you, the king and the prince."
Tiana was touched. "You keep painting these beautiful pictures and you will be one of the greatest artists this world has ever seen."
The boy smiled. "Thank you." And hugged the queen.
Tiana returned the hug and felt a tap on her shoulder by one of the guards. She knew it was time to go. "You take care and keep painting."
"I will. Abinaza mi queena!" The boy waved.
"Abinaza Harpen." Tiana said, walking away.
A nurse approached Tiana and curtsied in front of her. "Your majesty, there is one more child who will like to see you."
The guard stepped up. "Her majesty has met all the children she was required to meet."
"No, I haven't." Tiana said, stepping in front of the big man.. "Where is she? I would like to see her."
"But you have a dinner with his highness." The guard reminded her.
"It is only for a few moments." Tiana walked on with the woman.
Tiana walked in the room and saw a young girl with tubes on her. The young Maldonian girl's gloomy face brightened up when she saw the queen enter her room. "You came!"
Tiana smiled and the nurse whispered in her ear. "She's very sick. She's been through a lot."The queen nodded her head, understanding and approached the young girl. "Hi there. What's ya name?"
"Maria." The little girl responded with a very strong Maldonian accent.
Tiana sat on a chair that sat beside the bed. "How old are you?"
"I'm five and a half." She smiled. "Sorry if you do not understand me. I only know a little English."
"No baby I can understand you." Tiana said and took her hand. "How are you feelin'?"
"I'm really sick." The little girl looked down at Tiana's hand. "Your ring is really pretty."
"Thank you sweetie." Tiana noticed a scar on the girl's face. "Um, who would you like to be when you grow up?"
"I will like to be an angel in heaven with my mami and papa." The girl answered. "They died after my uncle hurt them."
Tiana frowned. She didn't expect to hear that. "Who takes care of you now?"
"My uncle did before he scratched my face. See?" She pointed at the scar Tiana saw earlier before.
"Oh silly girl. You shouldn't say this much to the queen." The nurse was embarrassed. "She's very sick-
"No, you said that your uncle takes care of you?" Tiana cut off the nurse. She grew very concern for the young girl.
"Yes. He's at home now."
Tiana hated hearing that the same man who murdered this little girl's parents is now caring for her. "You know what Maria, I have to get going, but I will come back to see you next week."
The girl smiled. "Really?"
"Yes." Tiana smiled and took off a ring that was on her right finger. "You keep this. It's a friendship ring. Don't tell any other other children."
The girl was surprised. "Really?"
"Yeah." Tiana said, handing her the ring. "I will wear mine when I come back. I have another ring exactly like that one."
"I can't believe that I am friends with the queen."
"Yes, we are friends now." Tiana gave the girl a hug. "Now don't forget."
"I won't! And I promise to keep this between us!" The excited girl beamed.
"Abinaza, for now." Tiana said, as she left the room.
Tiana felt really bad for the young girl. She felt bad for all the children, but this young girl tugged at her heart and she knew that she had to do something to get her proper care.

James and Naveen laughed after they finished playing football. Naveen was very impressed with his son's skills.
"You are very good at this sport." Naveen complimented. "Who taught you all those moves?"
"Kanad." James answered, knowing he was good. "Azugana also gave me some pointers."
Naveen raised an eyebrow. "Your grandmother?"
"Yes! She use to be tomboy."
Naveen shook his head. "I remember her telling me that she use to play a little rough as a child but I didn't know that she could still…play sports."
"She can, and she also said that you are good at all the sports you play. What other sports did you play besides football and rugby?"
"Equestrian, fencing, wrestling, swimming, hunting, tennis, bowling…the list goes on."
"How do you even have time to do all those sports?" James asked.
"When you have a father like mine, you had to be the best at everything. And there is time for everything" Naveen said.
James sighed. "How can I do all those things?"
"You don't have to. Just stick with football. You are very talented." Naveen encouraged his son.
"Okay, if you're really sure about it." James said.
Naveen laughed.

Tiana walked down the halls with Maria on her mind. She really wanted to help that little girl, and even thought about bringing her here to stay at the palace. She then saw Yesenia knocking at her bedroom doors. "Hey. You're lookin' for me?"
"Yes, I really need to talk to someone."
Tiana opened the door for both of them and walked in her room. "Is something wrong?"
Yesenia sighed. "I couldn't sleep at all lastnight." And crossed her arms. "So much confusion in my head."
"What about?"
Yesenia looked at Tiana and thought about telling her how she felt for her, but at the same time she didn't know if what she was feeling was true. "You know what, it's nothing at all. I think I know why I can't sleep. It's my nerves."
Tiana frowned. "Your nerves? What are you nervous about?"
"You know that I've been selling myself for most of my life. Sometimes I still get nightmares of former clients." She lied. Her former life was behind her, but the feelings for Tiana were a mess. Perhaps if she told her how she felt then it would go away.
Tiana raised an eyebrow. "Yesenia, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Tiana…" She stepped up to the queen. "I love you."
Tiana smiled. "Aw. I love you, too!" And gave her a hug.
Yesenia was surprised that she felt the same way.
"You know...Never in my wildest dreams that I ever thought we would be friends." Tiana said, pulling back from the hug. "Naveen never thought it would happen either."
Yesenia's smile then faded away. "Friends?"
"Yeah…well you are somewhat like a sister to me now." Tiana laughed. "I mean, we spend so much time together in that kitchen and restaurant."
"Yes. We are a lot like sisters." Yesenia gave her a smile. She was a little disappointed that Tiana didn't feel the same way, but she expected it. "Well I should be getting ready for the restaurant."
"Alright. I'll try to stop by there later." Tiana said.
Yesenia smiled and walked out of the room. Her smile then changed to a frown, and water developed in her eyes. "I can see why Naveen loves Tiana so much. She's incredible."
Naveen just walked out of a nearby room and saw the woman standing by his doors. He wondered what was wrong with her.
She wiped her tears away. "If only Tiana knew that I've fallen inlove with her. Then perhaps these feelings I have would go away." Without seeing Naveen she quickly walked away.
Naveen stood dumbfound after learning that his former prostitute who was once inlove with him was now in love with his wife. "What the hell?"
Tiana opened the door. "I knew someone was standing by the door." When he didn't answer she grew a little concern. "What's wrong with you?"
Naveen looked over at his wife and answered. "I think I need a drink."

A/N: Um…wow. So Naveen knows about Yesenia being "inlove" with Tiana. I wonder if he's angry, surprised, flattered or all of the above? Hmm…? Oh, and I'm not bi or a lesbian. Yesenia has feelings for Tiana, and I was just trying to get in that fiction head of hers. It's like me falling for a guy and using my pov on her. Love is crazy, but feels really good especially if it with someone who is mutual with the feeling. Yesenia is half Maldonian and half Spanish for those who wondered about her ethnic background. lol.
