Riley and Liam changed their clothes before heading to the ball. Neither could wait to get rid of Isabella and Bradshaw. Soon the princesses joined their parents all three wearing matching dresses. A member of the staff opened the ballroom doors allowing the royal family to enter and head directly to the podium at the front of the room. Riley smiled saying, "Thank you all for coming today. We are here to celebrate the visit from the monarchs of Auvernal. They are the ones who brought the warship to our shores. We are lucky they are friendly and weren't planning on destroying our Country. This is why I have been pushing for Warships of our own. It doesn't make us weak it makes us ready to defend ourselves from other Country's who wish to do us harm. Now our guests are like most monarch's and they uncovered a surprise I was planning to announce. Since they already brought it to our attention Liam is going to share our news with you.

Liam kisses Riley's cheek as he takes her place at the microphone saying, "My wife is expecting again this time we will have two new additions instead of one. Cordonia will now have princes in addition to princesses. As you can imagine in we are both excited. Now unfortunately King Bradshaw and Queen Isabella will be leaving tomorrow. We were unable to come to an agreement. We will be escorting them back to their warship to send them home. Perhaps one day we can come to an agreement between our great countries. In the meantime please do enjoy the festivities."

Liam directed Riley and the girls to the head table pulling out a chair for each of them. Bradshaw hissed out, "You will agree to an alliance through marriage or we will have our ship start firing."

Once drinks were served Riley stood up and tapped her glass. She smiled at the crowd and held the glass up before saying, "We are very fortunate King Bradshaw gave us permission to tour their warship our military has learned a lot from the tour. Hopefully, Cordonia will have her own warships soon."

Riley sat back down before adding in a hushed whisper, "Your ship is under my control. Now you will behave until you leave peacefully tomorrow. Take a look around you two are outnumbered and one false move from either of you and I will have you returned home in chains."

Bradshaw looked around the room noticing all the security he nudged Isabella and the eat dinner quietly for the rest of the evening. Riley and Liam went to dance on the dance floor. Kenna, Victoria, and Eleanor went to the dance floor as well dancing with each other. Isabella and Bradshaw reluctantly went to the dance floor. Soon Cordonian nobles were talking to both the King and Queen of Aurvernal. Riley was thankful that the rest of the ball went well. The council had agreed to start a fleet of warships for Cordonia thanks mostly due to Bradshaw's love for the warship.

As Liam was making his rounds he stopped at Maxwell asking, "Can you keep an eye on the girls for a little while? I'd like to have a few moments alone with my queen."

Maxwell nodded and headed over to the princesses as Liam made his way to Riley. Liam arrived at Riley's side he pulled her into his embrace murmuring into her ear, "Maxwell is going to keep an eye on the girls for us. Let's slip away from the ball for a while."

Riley nodded allowing Liam to escort her out of the ballroom and into the orchard. As soon as he found a secluded area he pulled Riley to him kissing her passionately. His lips move from hers to her jawline kissing his way to her ear. He whispers huskily, "I want you, my queen."

Riley looks into his lust-filled eyes her arms going around his neck. She presses herself closer to Liam feeling his desire press against her as she kisses him passionately. She pulls away from his lips to murmur, "I want you too."

That confirmation is all Liam needs. He spins her around pushing her against the wall surrounding the orchard. His hands gripped her hips bunching the material of her dress. His fingers caressing her thigh until he reached her underwear. He pulled at the waistband with both hands. After he removed her underwear he tucked them inside his jacket. He couldn't strip Riley like he wanted to the orchard was too exposed. Liam didn't care if they were watched as long as he was the only one to see her body. Liam unbuttoned his shirt allowing Riley access to his chest. Her hands ran across his chest as his fingers caressed her folds.

Riley's hands drifted down to the waistband of his pants. She unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned his pants before slowly unzipping him. Riley pushed his underwear down as far as she could without dropping his pants too low. She hooked her leg around his waist and ground into him as she kissed his neck. Liam groaned as he lifts her up letting her wrap her other leg around his waist. Liam slowly slid himself inside of his wife he groaned at the feel of her wrapped around him. Her hands ran across his back as he thrust into her. She rocked her hips matching his pace causing them both to moan at the feeling. He crashed his mouth into Riley's nipping at her lip causing her to gasp. He used that moment to slip his tongue into her mouth. He picked up the pace thrusting harder and faster. Riley's breath hitched as she moaned. Liam's hand found its way to her clit. He started stroking the nub in circular movements. Riley gasped as her legs trembled Liam was bringing her closer and closer to the edge. Liam rasped against her ear, "Cum for me Riley. I need you."

That was all Riley needed to throw her over the edge she had been hanging on. Her body clenched around his tightly he heard her call out his name just as he reached his own end. He emptied himself into her groaning out her name. He held onto her until his body gave up its hold on her they looked into the eyes of each other as they caught their breath. Liam reluctantly pulled back from Riley gently setting her feet on the ground. Once he was sure she was steady on her feet he started to redress. Once they were both presentable they returned to the ball.

The next day Riley and Liam took Isabella and Bradshaw to their warship. They were under heavy guard until the warship was back in international waters. Riley and Liam boarded one of many ships that now littered the water. Riley shouted over her shoulder, "Don't bring that ship back or we will have no choice but to see it as a declaration of war."

Riley was thrilled when they left, and news of the ship's return to Auvernal hit the TV stations. The council had decided that Cordonia needed its own ships to protect the waters of Cordonia. The country had a small fleet by the time Riley's pregnancy was showing. Riley and Liam went to the doctor where another ultrasound was done to check on the twin's progress. Liam smiled at the image on the screen of the twins. The doctor looked at Liam saying, "The queen will need to deliver in the hospital. I know she doesn't like going unless necessary. Having twins make it necessary right now one is in the correct position while the other is upside down. This is a common occurrence in twins. Complications are also possible that could make scheduling a date for a c section will be necessary. For now, we will just keep a close eye on them."

Liam took in the doctor's word nodding in agreement. He knew Riley would do what was best for their child no matter how much she disliked it. Time seemed to fly by and before he knew it Riley's due date was fast approaching. His queen now often complained about being as big as a whale. They had agreed to do a scheduled C section so that he could be in the delivery room and Riley could be awake during the delivery. Riley was very nervous the day of the scheduled C section. Liam stood by her side through the whole operation. The doctor cut into Riley once he was sure the queen was numb. Fluid rushed out as the doctor cut the amniotic sac. Soon the doctor reached in and pulled out the first baby. He then tied off the umbilical cord before handing the baby off to a nurse. The doctor reached in and pulled out the second baby. He tied off the umbilical cord and handed the baby off to a nurse. He turned back to the queen and started carefully closing up the wound. Once the stitches had been completed he covered the area with bandages before returning the family to a room to bond.

Liam looked at the twin's as proud as the day Kenna was born. He looked at the boys naming the first Fabian and the second Sebastian.
