Chapter 3
They arrived in Cordonia without issue getting into a limo to head towards the palace. When they arrived at the palace Mara greeted them saying, "No new news to report king Liam. Last I heard nothing had changed. Feel free to go straight to the royal wing." Liam looked at her oddly but made his way to where Riley would be. Once he reached the top of the stairs he found a wall and a set of double doors with a sign that said royal family wing. He shook his head he didn't know how she always managed to surprise him. The guards at the door opened the door saying, "You're expected, King Liam." Liam walks past the doors watching them close behind him. Liam took in a deep breath as he took in the sight of the hallway that had been changed into a family sitting area. He smiled at Regina sitting on a sofa next to a bookcase. She smiled at him saying, "Do you like it, Liam? Riley thought it would be safer for the baby this way." He took a good look around seeing an office and play area. He walked passed the other bedrooms making his way to the one he shared with Riley. He smiled as he saw her sitting there eating pineapple. she smiled back saying, "Liam you made it."
Liam walked over to her kissing her forehead. Riley grabbed his jacket and pulled him in for a kiss. She then whispered in his ear saying, "Did you know sex is supposed to bring on labor. Perhaps you can help me with that later." Liam chuckled squeezing her hand. He had no issues with that request if it was needed. His eyebrows arched as he caught her hand under her nightgown. Riley flushed slightly before saying, "I'm supposed to stimulate my breast and nipples. Getting milk production going should help labor." He nodded saying, "I'll help any way I can. I like what you did with the palace." She smiled at him saying, "I told the designer I wanted Fort Knox. I think this wing is very secure. I don't want you worrying while having to deal with meetings and dignitaries." Liam smiled at his wife's thoughtful nature. He got into the bed behind her and massaged her back knowing that it often bothered her now. "Can I marry you again?" she whispered to him causing him to chuckle before replying, "I'd marry you a thousand times my love." Drake snorted at the response fighting the urge to roll his eyes. They spent the evening playing games and talking until it got late. Once everyone went to bed Liam turned a heated look to Riley she smiled and motioned for Liam to join her in the bed.
Liam stripped slowly for her enjoying how her eyes kept roaming his body. It always turned him on the way she looked at him. He joined her in the bed naked as usual a pair of sleep pants sat on the nightstand next to the bed. He leaned over and kissed her fervently only breaking the kiss so that he could remove her nightgown. Once she was bare his hand cupped one breast as his mouth suckled at her other breast. He hand went into his hair as his mouth moved from one to the other. Eventually, he kissed up from her chest to her lips. He pushed her back on the bed pausing to kiss her stomach and move her to her side. Her side was one of two positions they could both enjoy. He couldn't wait any longer he had missed her desperately and he told her so. Once she was in the position he spooned her from behind and slowly joined them as one. They both moaned at his entrance and his slow movements. He enjoyed making love to his wife as much as he enjoyed the fast and hot passionate sex they had. Soon they both reach there release and shortly after Riley fell asleep Liam following shortly after her. His arm was draped around her body holding her close to him.
It wasn't until the bed was suddenly wet that Liam woke. He got up and quickly put on his pajama bottoms. He made his way to the door opening it. He noticed a guard he said, "Get the doctor and the midwife Riley's water just broke." He went back to the bed to check on Riley finding her already awake. He grabbed her had and squeezed it as the midwife came in. Soon the doctor arrived and he had to force her labor. Liam heard the doctor say that the Pitocin would make the contractions worse. He was concerned about the pain she'd be in but Riley was strong so he wasn't worried. Within a few hours, the medication was working and Riley was ready to push. She pushed with every contraction for an hour before the head exited her body. A few moments after the head was out the shoulders followed. Once the shoulders were out the rest of the body soon quickly followed. Within moments the baby was crying the doctor motioned Liam over offering to let him cut the cord. The baby was then taken to be cleaned up and soon was given to Riley. She looked over the baby in her arms smiling checking for ten toes and fingers before looking at the child's sex. She smiled saying, "Hello Princess Margaret welcome to Cordonia." She passed the baby to Liam who gently took Margaret and smiled down at her. When Margaret started to cry, Riley put Margaret to her breast and let her nurse. Liam was awed but knew he'd have to leave them both to announce Margaret's arrival. He kissed each girl's head before letting the others in to see Margaret. He called a press conference and in a few moments, he was outside the palace announcing the arrival of Princess Margaret. As soon as the announcement was finished Liam returned to the two women who held his heart. Riley smiled at Liam's return with humor in her eyes she said, "I believe Santa will need to get one more gift on his sled this year." Liam chuckled replying, "I am sure he will manage even with the extremely short notice.
He sat next to Riley in the bed totally in awe by his daughter. He was already in love with the little girl who was only minutes old. He smiled softly saying, "I hope you won't mind sharing my heart with another woman my love?" Riley giggled before replying, "As long as you don't mind sharing mine with another man when we eventually have a son." Liam waited for his daughter to finish eating before offering, "I'll take her so you can get some rest." He removed his jacket and shirt before taking his daughter from Riley's arms. He kissed Riley on the forehead and quietly left the room. With his daughter against his bare chest, he joined everyone in the converted hallway. Leo clapped his brother on his back before saying, "Fatherhood seems to agree with you." Drake snorted before adding, "That little girl will have daddy wrapped around her little fingers. Just like her Mother does." As Liam held his daughter he knew Drake was right as he held the blanket against her small body.
When Riley woke she joined everyone urging them all to see the nursery. Their daughter wouldn't stay in the nursery until she slept through the night but Riley wanted it ready anyway. Liam's breath hitched as he saw the nursery. The walls and ceiling of the room was a mural. The ceiling had the sky half day and half night. The walls had a lion and lioness with four cubs under the shade of a big tree in the grass. There was a watering hole that was low on the wall there was an actual mirror for the water. There was even a cave that represented the lion's home on the night side of the mural with the lion family sleeping inside. He noticed the male protecting his cubs and mate causing him to smile. He loved it this would work for all their children until they were old enough to move further away from their parents.
