Chapter 1: Being Queen and Mother and Wife

Since Angelia was crowned Queen just before Logan was born it automatically made him Prince. He just celebrated his 5th birthday, Angelia and Reaver showered him in gifts. Obviously being Reaver's son it was nothing but the best.

Angelia had done a lot in the 5 years as Queen, she helped establish a town known as Brightwall opening a library that housed all documents about heroes and education. She also helped her husband get setup as leader of the industrial age, with her as queen she did pull him back on certain business decisions such as forcing people to work for very low wages and enforce child labour, this was not desperate times. She also helped Walter showing him some of her moves she learnt as a hero exposing him to the hero world showing off her power of Skill, Will and Strength.

Just because Angelia was queen didn't mean she had to pull back on her adventuring, she'd still go out incognito helping villagers in need with Walter and Treacle by her side. Overseeing industry Reaver had changed slightly, by not sailing off to tropical islands all the time meant his skin got paler and his attire changed. Though he was still the pirate king at heart, here in Bowerstone he had to look more business-like, so he switched his red and gold attire for a white and black suit. Changing his gold necktie to a black one with a red ruby on the upper fold, he now wore a tall top hat paired with brass goggles which is hardly wore it was more a fashion statement and he switched his cutlass to a slim-lined sword which he concealed inside a brass staff. He still carried his dragonstomper, but he did obtain other equally as powerful weapons keeping them under lock and key in Millfield's.

Another new or revamped area was Millfield's, basically it was Bowerlake but redesigned with grand houses and manor's, it was a residential area for the wealthy. Deciding what to do with the old tomb entrance into the heroes guild Reaver proposed to turn it into a beautiful white marbled bandstand with a white stone bridge leading to it, Angelia agreed it would compliment the area nicely and they would keep another entrance into the guild.

Part of that was Reaver's plans to build his mansion which incorporated part of hero's hill into it. No-one would ever be able to reach the hill as the mansion was built into the very rock formation but underneath the mansion was a secret passage into the guild, only accessible to heroes.

Reaver kept all his business plans and meetings at the mansion as most people didn't realise he was married to the queen, makes both of them less of a target that way. Plus, Reaver wore black gloves all the time which hid his wedding ring, Angelia wore white gloves as part of her queen attire. Although he had the mansion he'd only stay there if absolutely necessary as his actual home was the castle.

Unfortunate by-product of being a hero and a queen as no time for much of a social life outside the castle walls. Sadly, Rupert's father, Giles, passed away last year his old age finally claimed him but Angelia still took the time to visit the farm giving her condolences and even attended the funeral, she left Logan and Reaver at home.

Angelia had just finished a meeting with a distant land just under Albion's rule, Aurora, they wanted help feeding their people. The queen agreed to send aid as her people to be charitable and help their neighbour distant people, as the queen was such a benevolent leader people gave freely and happily. She left the war room happy with the result from the charities to Aurora she asked Jasper where Reaver or Logan were.

"I believe your husband is in the play room with your son, your majesty"

"Thank you Jasper"

Walking down the long corridors Angelia hearing a bark she turned around spotting Treacle running up to her. She knelt on the floor ready to receive lots of doggie kisses, Treacle jumped showering her mistress in kisses then ran around in circles before woofing happily wagging her tail. Angelia whistled tapping her leg as she stood indicating to follow which Treacle did. Turning a corner, the pair reached the play room door, Angelia slowly turned the handle poking her head through the door. She spotted Logan sat on the floor in front of Reaver who was sat on a nearby chair talking to his son.

"Daddy…?"

"Yes, son"

"Why do.. do ugh.. you carry that!" *pointing at Reaver's brass cane*

"My cane?"

"Yes, pwease tell me"

"I carry it to conceal my weapon, see…"

Reaver pressed a secret groove on the end of the cane twisting the top 180 degrees the sword slipped out. He only pulled it out half way to show his son but then sheathed the sword again clicking it back into place.

"Ooh, can I tries! Pwease, oh pretty pwease"

"Haha I don't think your mother would approve…"

"No, I wouldn't"

Angelia heard Reaver say she wouldn't approve, so she made her presence known opening the door fully letting herself and Treacle in. The dog bounded over to Logan, who was sat on the floor, licking his face a few times making the child laugh pushing the dog away, so he could stand up. Angelia approached her husband leaning down to give him a soft lingering kiss earning a yuck from Logan.

"What's the matter son? Daddy can't show Mummy any love?"

"No, it's gross… too much kissings!"

"Oh, really?"

As quickly as a flash Reaver scooped up the child coming to a stand himself tipping Logan upside down then throwing him gently in the air catching him again. When he propped Logan on his hip Angelia tickled her son then gave him kisses on the other cheek Treacle didn't lick making Logan giggle.

"Right Mister… you need to go with Jasper"

Jasper entered the room as Angelia voiced out his name earning an aw from her son.

"But why mum?"

"Because your father and I have business to discuss"

Reaver pulled an uh-oh face at his son making the child laugh before putting him down watching him walk off with Jasper who took the boy to the gardens to play.

"What's the matter my dear? I haven't killed any of my workers… yet. If that's what you are worried about"

"No, it's nothing to do with that Reav. I've been feeling a bit weird, queasy and such… like you know… like last time I was…"

"Oh! Oh, really? Ok have you tested yourself?"

"No, I wanted to do it with you, I have the potion with me"

"Really?"

"Yes… unless you don't want to- "

"Don't be daft of course, come on let's go"

The heroes made their way to their private ensuite bathroom that adjoined their grand bedroom, the same room Logan was born in. Already having a cup handy Angelia poured some liquid in the cup then asked for some privacy as she added her 'sample'. Reaver did not give her privacy he just folded his arms laughing at how ridiculous Angelia looked trying to get the sample.

"My dearest Angelia I saw you give birth, I think privacy is out the window"

"Oh, Ssh I need to leave the mixture to sit for a few minutes"

Angelia put the cup filled with the mixture on the bathroom side next to the sink taking note of the time. She then washed her hands whilst keeping an eye on her husband, he finally unfolded his arms walking up behind her to embrace her nuzzling his nose against the soft skin of her neck inhaling her sweet aroma.

"You know what else we could do for a few minutes…Mm"

"Is that all you need? *wink*"

"Ah ha touché my sweet…"

With that Reaver scooped Angelia up she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her into their bedroom. He didn't take her to the bed however instead he carefully put her down on the desk in their room. Smirking at his love he then caressed her legs with his hands starting from the ankle going up all the way to her hip under her skirt she was wearing. Hooking his fingers into the waistband of her underwear she lifted her hip up helping Reaver take off her underwear. Reaver then proceeded to unbutton his trousers slipping out his hard erection, closing the gap between himself and his wife Angelia moaned hard as Reaver slid into her wet sex.

"Ooh Reaver…"

"Oh, Angelia so ready for me already… *growls*"

Reaver didn't need any encouragement as he drove harder into his wife listening to her sweet moans of desire as she begged him to move faster and harder. The desk creaked beneath them as Reaver relentless thrusted into his wife against the desk. Any paperwork that was on the desk swept onto the floor due to the vigorous movements. Angelia's inner walls clamped down hard as she orgasmed over and over again, Reaver didn't stop he just kept going the feeling of her tightening around his throbbing erection felt amazing.

It wasn't long before Reaver felt close to his own release and Angelia could see it, his thrusts were more erratic.

"Ooh Reaver darling… Oh yes! Ooh avo yes!"

"Ooh Angelia"

He moved forward capturing her lips in a deep kiss as he orgasmed hard, filling her up with his hot release making her shudder in delight. Reaver broke the kiss giving his wife a wink then slipped out of her tidying himself up then he bent down handing Angelia her underwear. With a blush she smirked at her husband accepting the underwear hopping off the desk to put them back on.

"Well that was unexpected"

"Does the queen not approve?"

"Haha Mm the queen approves very much"

Before they started round two with all their play flirting Angelia suddenly remember the solution in the bathroom she grabbed Reaver's hand guiding him into the bathroom. She stopped just before the sink unsure about taking another step forward, at this angle she couldn't see the colour of the liquid. Reaver stepped up to the sink instead pulling Angelia with him. He picked up the cup part filled with liquid yanking Angelia closer to him, so she wrapped her arms around him she peered down at the colour of the liquid as did Reaver inspecting the colour.

"What does pink mean?"

"Oh! Reaver… I'm pregnant again"

"Ah that's what pink means"

"Is that all you have to say?"

"No… come here"

Reaver put the cup down embracing his wife properly then showered her in kisses starting with her lips then going down her neck, over her shoulders then back up finishing off on her lips. He caressed her face with the back on his hand admiring his beautiful wife smiling lovingly at her. Ruining many tender moments there was a knock on their bedroom door, Jasper entered calling out highness, rolling his eyes Reaver backed away from Angelia but not before giving her arse a playful squeeze making her yelp then giggle. Jasper heard the high-pitched squeak and giggle coming from the bathroom, he didn't want to disturb he was about to leave but then Angelia entered the bedroom with Reaver following.

"Ah, your highness. You have another meeting with some villagers from Brightwall"

"Thank you Jasper I'll be right there… oh and Jasper?"

"Yes, your majesty"

"You'll need to contact the medical team again"

"Ma'am? Are you well?"

"Yes, yes I'm fine… better than fine. I'm pregnant"

"Oh! That's wonderful news your highness. I'm sure prince Logan will be thrilled to hear he's getting a sibling to play with"

"Yes, well lucky you didn't disturb our peace sooner"

"Master Reaver? To what are you referring to?"

"Myself and the queen were having our own… private meeting"

Reaver leant closer to his wife smirking giving her a sultry look that would melt any woman's heart. Jasper just went bright red choking on his words he muttered something about the meeting then quickly left the room. Once he left Angelia burst out laughing which made Reaver laugh along with her.

"My avo! You are terrible"

"Moi?"

For the next 9 months Angelia continued her duties as Queen whilst Reaver's industries expanded tenfold, the businesses were doing very well. To help her children discover their potential hero abilities Angelia decided to build a section inside the heroes' guild that is self-contained and only accessible via a special guild seal, whoever carries it can transport to this guild. All four heroes helped build this guild and its adjoining guild rooms; Reaver helped fund it alongside Angelia using her personal wealth, Garth helped with any magical properties and Hammer helped build it. No-one knew of this guild just the heroes, not even Jasper or Walter knew where it is but had heard Angelia speak of it. Obviously, the decorating of the rooms was Reaver's doing, his justification was his children should always have the best and surround themselves in luxury.

Underneath the castle was a huge cavern that lead outside of Bowerstone, it was originally hollowed out like that to help the old royal families escape fatal attacks on the castle, but Angelia decided to repurpose it for her family. Angelia and Garth added flit switches as well as Cullis gates and Cullis activation pads. The idea was if they were under attack they could escape this way and whoever was attacking couldn't follow because they won't be heroes. To access this vast cavern Angelia decided to build a large bandstand in the gardens with steps leading down to a tomb, inside the tomb is a large statue holding their hands together with chains around the wrists like an Angel of Darkness. Angelia took the seal placing it in the hands of the statue then Garth used his Will to move the chains, so the hands of the statue were close to its chest concealing to rare artefact.

The hero queen had two seals made, one her herself to use in emergencies and one she left in the tomb for her children when the time is right. She gave instructions to Walter if anything should happen to herself or Reaver to go to the tomb and give their child the seal then escape through the caverns.

Chapter 2: A Princess is born

Angelia was just leaving the tomb climbing up the stony steps with Garth talking about the guild rooms. It was a great find by all the heroes as they each contributed a weapon to the guild armoury; obviously Reaver donated a gun, Hammer gave a well a hammer, Garth provided the gauntlets and Angelia donated the blades. Garth was just mentioning the potential new dual powered spells these gauntlets can wield but then Angelia felt a sharp pain.

"What is it with you going into labour with me around? Your children that desperate to see me?"

"Ow shut it Garth! Just help me to my room I can manage that"

"Did the queen of Albion just tell me to shut it?"

"*laughs* Oh Ow don't make me laugh it hurts. Don't be a pain or I'll tell your girlfriend"

"No need to fight dirty, ok let's get you to your room"

Garth helped Angelia by putting one of her arms around his shoulder using him to lean on, they made their way into the castle from the gardens bumping into Jasper. Angelia filled him in on her labour and as the three of them walked down the halls to her bedroom her water broke.

"Oh dammit!"

"No need to worry about that your highness, let's get you to your room"

"Where's Reaver… Ow!"

"Don't worry Angelia, me and Hammer will find him"

They made it to Angelia's bedroom, the two men helped Angelia get onto the bed but didn't do much else. Jasper quickly ran out to alert the medical staff, so they could care for their queen and help her get dressed for it. Garth held Angelia's hand telling her it's going to be alright, promising to find Reaver and with that he ran out of the room running down the halls looking for Hammer. She was in the war room looking at the map of Albion with Treacle by the side begging for attention. Hammer was about to pull out an old book about the temple of light, but the double doors swung open with a very exhausted looking Garth stumbling in.

"What in the blazes it up with you?"

"It's Angelia… She's just gone into labour!"

"What is it with you?"

"Jokes later… We need to find Reaver. Do you know where he is?"

"I make it my business to NOT know where that idiot is… but I did overhear him muttering something about being in one of his factories in Bowerstone Industry"

"Right let's go"

Rolling her eyes Hammer followed her boyfriend out of the castle heading for Bowerstone industrial. It was a dismal place full of smog and dirt, but it was where all the factories were housed so rent was super cheap for a reason. Reaver was in one of his more recently built factories patrolling through keeping an eye on the workers, a few murmured complaints as he passed, picking up on the whispers Reaver looked at the factory supervisor raising his eyebrow giving a disapproved face casting his gaze at the gossiping workers. The supervisor immediately sprang into action going over to the worker to shout at them to go back to work. Smirking at the whole ordeal Reaver walked away smugly spinning his cane a few times then headed up to the balcony area. Looking out over his industry Reaver couldn't help but smile at his possession over Bowerstone industry.

"Where's Reaver!?"

He recognised that voice turning around he headed back into the factory looking over the railing seeing Hammer question the supervisor. Before it got out of hand Reaver tapped his cane on the metal railing, so it rang out catching their attention.

"My, my the hero of Strength… oh and Will. To what do I owe such a pleasure? Thinking of becoming my business partners?"

"Shut it Reaver it's your… private business"

Hammer was going to shout 'the queen' or 'his wife' but she also knew from Angelia they want to keep their marriage out of the lime light to avoid unnecessary anguish. Reaver just frowned at Hammer growing tired of her distractions.

"If you want to discuss some private business by all means my office is right here"

"You are such an idiot"

"Last person who said that to me wound up dead"

Whilst Hammer and Reaver were having a shouting match between 2 stories, Garth slipped behind the supervisor running up the walkways to get to Reaver. Hammer was trying her best not to blurt out his wife is in labour but Reaver was making it bloody difficult as per usual. When Hammer threatened Reaver and vice versa Garth made it to the same level as Reaver he approached the hero of skill grabbing him by the arm.

"How dare you touch me without- "

"*whispering* Reaver, it's Angelia. She's just gone into labour"

The crowd below were shocked when Garth grabbed Reaver by the arm, they were sure he was going to be dead in the next few minutes but when Reaver leaned in listening to what Garth was saying they were shocked. The supervisor yelled at the workers to go back to work threatening to fire them with no pay if they keep getting distracted. Meanwhile Hammer waited by the factory doors for Garth and Reaver. As Garth let go of Reaver's arm standing back he waited for Reaver to react but he just put on his prized poker face.

"Ah, why didn't you say so? Let's go then"

Garth started running back down the walkways, but he turned to see if Reaver was following, he wasn't, instead Reaver vaulted over the railing off the balcony landing gracefully on a few boxes then did a backflip landing safely on the ground. He waited for Garth to run downstairs dusting off his top hat then secured it back in place.

"Took you long enough"

"I didn't expect you to throw yourself off the balcony!?"

"Never predict anything I do Garth"

"Shut up both of you. C'mon we need to head back!"

The three heroes made it back to the castle, Hammer and Garth took their usual place outside of the bedroom just like last time. Reaver ran into the room, Angelia was already on the bed wearing her grey loose dress again one of the midwives just wiped some sweat of the queen's brow placing a cold flannel on her forehead. As soon as Angelia spotted Reaver she did a massive sigh of relief smiling at her husband.

"Reaver"

"I came as fast as I could… How are you doing?"

"It hurts just as much as last time…Ow!"

"You're having another contraction your highness, you are progressing much faster than before well done only a few more then you can push"

Reaver grabbed a chair pulling it up alongside the bed sitting next to Angelia, he shrugged off his coat hanging it up along with his top hat then he rolled up the sleeves in his shirt removing his black gloves putting them on the bedside table. He grabbed Angelia's hand kissing the back of it brushing a loose sweaty lock of hair out of her face.

"I'm right here my love. I know you can do this again"

"It hurts so much Reav… Ow!"

"I believe you are ready your majesty, come on now push!"

The doctor gave the all clear to start pushing, Angelia bared down giving it all she's got as she pushed her baby out. Her squeeze tightened on Reaver's hand but he grinded his teeth fighting through the pain he didn't want to seem weak in front of these people. However, the next push was so painful Angelia pulled Reaver's hand closer then bit down hard sinking her teeth into his skin.

"Argh… Angelia come on, not much further… Aah I know you can do it"

Another push and Angelia stopped biting Reaver's hand, he had teeth indents on the back of his hand all red and angry. Angelia looked at her husband with apologetic eyes he smiled sweetly at her stroking her hair. Both her hands grabbed onto Reaver's hands as she did the final push, the doctor received the baby doing his bit to clear the infant's airways to let it cry. The doctor gave Reaver the honours of cutting the cord again, when he snipped the cord a midwife took the baby to the side to clear and wrap it in a warm blanket. Whilst the midwife sorted out their child the doctor helped Angelia then the doctor spotted Reaver's hand.

"Do you want me to look at that?"

"Oh? It's fine"

Ignoring Reaver's dismissal the doctor walked over to Reaver taking his hand inspecting the bite marks, he quickly sprayed disinfectant on the area then wrapped a bandage around Reaver's hand.

"Thank you doctor"

"My pleasure, now I'll leave you two to get acquainted with your daughter"

They both looked at each other smiling when the doctor said 'daughter' then the midwife approached the couple handing the baby to Angelia. The medical staff tidied up around the parents, they also helped Angelia get into bed properly this time Reaver laid next to Angelia sat up in bed but on top of the covers rather than under the covers like Angelia was. The doctor pulled out a birth certificate jotting some ink he asked for the baby's name.

"Hannah-Rose"

"What a beautiful name your highness"

Little did they know Reaver picked the name all those years ago just part of idly chit chat at the street party in Bloodstone. Reaver looked at his wife smirking when she said the name, he knew deep down she'd probably pick that name, but it made him feel immensely proud that he thought of the name originally all that time ago. The doctor scribbled down the name letting the ink dry he put the certificate on the desk in the room then wished good health to the family leaving the room with his staff.

Outside the room Hammer and Garth smiled at each other when they heard the faint cry of a baby, after some shuffling and chatting the door opened as the medical staff left. The doctor told them it's ok to go in and see the parents. As Garth and Hammer entered the room Jasper, Walter and little Logan shortly followed. Garth and Hammer stood one side of the bed whilst Jasper and Walter were on the other side, Walter helped Logan climb onto the chair Reaver was originally sat on, so he could see his new sibling.

"Hello Logan sweetie, meet your baby sister Hannah-Rose"

"Sister? But I wanted a brother!"

Reaver and Angelia laughed under their breath as Logan pouted expecting a brother rather than a sister. Angelia handed the baby to Reaver, who was sat closest to Logan, holding the baby delicately he lowered the baby, so Logan could see her properly.

"Hmph she's so small. She won't want to play!"

"Not yet Logan she's just a baby, like you were once but she will when she's older"

Logan reached out with his parents eyeing him cautiously he stroked a finger over his sister's hand, the tiny hand opened grabbing a hold of Logan's fingers.

"She's ok I guess"

"Haha that's my boy"

Reaver leaned forward giving Logan a kiss on the forehead earning a yuck from his son, he then passed his daughter back to Angelia.

Logan climbed off the chair asking Walter to play, the solider looked at Angelia shrugging like he had no choice. Angelia laughed nodding in agreement watching as Logan and Walter left the room, Walter did call out congratulations just before the door shut leaving the parents with Jasper, Garth and Hammer.

"Yes, that reminds me, congratulations your majesty… and to you too Master Reaver"

"Thanks Jasper"

"Oh, Angelia I can't believe you picked that name!"

"Ah, I was wondering if you'd pick up on that Hammer?"

"Of course, I'm not deaf… I see you opening your mouth to say some snarky remark Reaver, don't"

"Hey, Hammer remember if it wasn't for Reaver I might've not thought of Hannah-Rose"

"Dammit I knew you were going to say something like that Angelia. Can't you just accept me and Reaver are never going to get along?"

"Hmm… nope *wink* Oh come off it you two. I know if any of us are in danger we can rely on each other, right?"

Each hero said 'right' except Reaver he just cooed over his daughter before doing a dramatic sigh flicking his hand out to the side looking the other way in disgust.

"*sigh* Alright, fine. I suppose I can pencil you in if you need me… not you of course my dear Angelia you're always pencilled into my diary"

"*giggles* Easy Reav we have company"

"Ruining all my fun as per usual you two!"

"Not our fault Reaver you can't keep it in your pants for more than 5 seconds"

"That long Hammer?"

"Haha Garth don't you start with the sarcasm"

Jasper left the room telling the queen and Reaver he'll go and announce the news of the kingdoms new princess. As for Garth and Hammer they said their goodbyes too letting Angelia rest, when they left the room Angelia was about to get out of bed to put Hannah-Rose in her crib but Reaver took the child out of her arms.

"Now, now my love. Rest. I'll take her"

"*smiling sweetly* Ok Reav… love you"

"Love you more"

Reaver put the baby down in her crib for a second whilst he got dressed in his gloves, coat and top hat then he picked the baby up cradling her close to him. Reaver then left the bedroom strolling through the castle with his daughter in his arms, he then started relaying tales of his adventures ignoring a few odd looks from the staff. They knew the princess was born but were a little caught off guard when they saw Reaver carrying the baby.
