Chapter 35: All Hail the King

*-Time Skip-*

It had been a few months after the incident in Notch's castle and Red was finally showing from her pregnancy. Red had noticed now that her tummy was larger from the baby, it seemed Herobrine had gotten much more protective around her. So much that he wouldn't even let her do simple mundane things around the fortress. She assumed Herobrine was going to be a great father as he was already going into a parental mode that she had not seen in him before. It was all slightly annoying in ways but she knew deep down that Herobrine was doing it because he loved her and their child. Now, if only she could find out if her child was a male or female. She was already planning names for if the baby would be a girl or boy. She even ran some names across Herobrine but he seemed just as indecisive as herself.

Red was currently sitting down in the kitchen and nibbling on some watermelon. She didn't even think she liked watermelon until she began craving over it obsessively out of the blue. Taking another bite into the juicy sweet melon, she wasn't aware of the presence that had appeared from behind her until she felt arms wrap around her from behind while she was sitting on her chair. "Hero." Red said in surprise as Herobrine rested his chin on top of her head as he was staring at the melon she was eating.

"You just can't get enough of those can you?" Herobrine teased which made Red blush in embarrassment.

"I never thought I would be sitting here obsessing over watermelons. I don't even think I like watermelons… Or well now I do but before… - Being pregnant makes me do really weird things." Red shook her head and stuffed the last piece of her melon inside her mouth before wiping away her mouth with the back side of her hand. Herobrine chuckled and then gently kissed the top of her head and let go of her as he walked around the table and sat next to her. Red looked over at him curiously as he stared into her chestnut colored eyes and was looking like he was wanting to say something.

"Have something on your mind?" Scarlett asked with a small smile working on her lips. Herobrine's brunette hair hung in his face slightly as he was pondering on something before nodding slowly.

"Actually… Yes, there is something I want to show you. I wanted to show you before but I was… interrupted." Herobrine said and slightly frowned from the memory. Red now being more curious to what he had in mind, she tilted her head with interest.

"Really? Show me!" She chirped with excitement and quickly stood up from her spot. Herobrine watched her stand up and smiled softly.

"Eager are you?"

"I love surprises." Red replied and watched as Herobrine chuckled again before standing up from his seat again. Herobrine walked over towards her and brought her into a hug so he could teleport her to the location he had in mind. Red embraced him back and relished in being so close to his warm firm body that pressed against hers. Having his arms wrapped around her body, he concentrated and magically teleported the two together and they vanished within seconds. Reappearing just as quickly, Red found herself on top of Herobrine's favorite location, which was the highest tower of the Nether fortress that overlooked the Nether and the rest of the castle. "You really do love it up here. I can see why though. Its so beautiful up here." Red commented as she was let go from Herobrine's hold on her.

Herobrine smiled and nodded, "Its both beautiful and peaceful up here… but we're not up here to sight-see. I have something I've been meaning to give you. Its very important to me."

Red turned her eyes away from the view of the Nether's outreaches and looked to see Herobrine looking much more serious towards her. She was genuinely curious to what he had to give her. "What is it?" She questioned.

Herobrine felt that rush of unfamiliar feelings come back. It was twisting and turning his insides with anxiety. He was so restless and nervous, he knew he had not much of a reason to be that way, but he couldn't help it. Herobrine briefly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Red stared at him as he began fumbling his hand inside his pocket like the last time he was up here. "Scarlett Chandler…" He said, using her full name which confused her at first. It wasn't until he suddenly got down on one knee when her hands went over her mouth and her eyes widen in size. "I know we met each other on unusual terms. We've gone through many ups and downs through our time together and each day I find myself falling more in love with you. You turned my world around when I least excepted it. Never would I thought I would be in love, let alone in love with a woman from another world than my own. It seemed like our relationship was doomed from the start like star-crossed lovers, but somehow we've pulled through that. Scarlett… You mean the world to me and I say that with all the sincerity in my heart. I love you more than you would ever know. So Scarlett, what I want to present to you is this…" Herobrine trailed off and finally found it in himself to take out the small black box that was hidden inside his pocket. Red was in tears before he even opened it. His words had touched her heart and left her in blissful chills. Opening the latch on the black box, the most beautiful diamond ring that had some ruby red stones encrusted with it was placed inside the box. "Will you marry me?"

Red's tears were streaming down her face as her hands were still placed on her mouth. She began to nod vigorously as she smiled widely from under her hands. "Y-yes! I mean double yes! Of course, I'll marry you! I wouldn't want to marry anyone else! Oh, I love you so much, Herobrine!" With a large genuine smile, Herobrine took her right hand and took out the ring to place it on her ring finger. Scarlett kept crying with tears of joy as he began fitting the diamond and ruby ring onto her finger for her. Within seconds, she clung onto him the second he stood back up. Herobrine smiled and embraced her back just as tightly.

"I love you too, Scarlett. I will forever and ever. I promise. Herobrine whispered to her as she happily sobbed on him. Pulling back just ever so slightly, she leaned upwards to his height and pressed her lips against his passionately. Gaining entrance into his mouth instantly, the two lovers began to hungrily kiss each other. Their tongues intertwined together and both lovingly explored each other's mouth. They kept kissing until they needed to pull back for air.

"We should do something to celebrate our engagement!" Red inquired with a bright excited grin.

Herobrine smirked down at her, "I could think of a few things…" Herobrine said suggestively to her which made her blush furiously in return. Rolling her eyes, she playfully shoved him.

"Of course, YOU would think of that." Red said and shook her head as he ran his large hands down the sides of her arms. She shivered at the tingly sensation of the touch as he stared at her with playfulness.

"It was just a suggestion."

"A perverted one." Red replied sassily back with a smirk. He too smirked and leaned in and brushed his lips up against her own soft red ones. Grabbing back at her sides, he pulled her close to him and began kissing her fully on the lips. Red moaned into the kiss as he ran his hands up and down her thighs, soon progressing up to her head and running his hands through her short hair. "This isn't what I meant by celebrating." Red muttered into their kisses as he now was kissing up and down her neck. Herobrine left love bites everywhere he sucked onto her neck, claiming her as his own with his marks. "H-Hero…" Red stuttered breathlessly as he found her sweet spot and began possessively sucking on that one spot, forcing her to moan from the incredible sensations that he was so graciously giving her. Pulling her head back, she closed her eyes and let herself revel in his amazing ability to make her so willingly submissive to him. The feeling was amazing as she felt him lick her neck.

"Mine.." He murmured as he continued to nibble at her sweet spot on her neck. Red sighed heavily and couldn't take it anymore. The feelings he was stirring inside her was too much to handle all at one time. Grinding herself against him, she willed herself to begin roughly kissing him back. Herobrine growled lowly in an animalistic way as she kissed him back so hungrily and full of raw passion. The two lovers continued this until Herobrine teleported them back to his room in the middle of their fierce make-out session.

Pushing her onto the bed, Little Red would spend the rest of the couple hours kissing and 'celebrating' together in harmony with one another. It wasn't exactly what Red had in mind, but it certainly wasn't so disfavored once their intimacy had actually begun. She loved it and so did he.

The next day, Red was lying exposed next to Herobrine under the covers. Resting her head against his firm bare chest, she smiled to herself as she remembered last's nights events perfectly in her memory. She was now engaged to her King and was loved by him in many more ways than one. She loved Herobrine so much and it was times like this she knew how fortunate she was to be his and his alone. Running her fingertips across his well-toned chest, she glanced up at his face who smiled back at her. "How was last night, my beloved?" He purred to her and kissed her on top of her head. Red squinted her eyes in a bright smile as she snuggled into him.

"It couldn't have been any better." She replied with a sexy smirk rising on her lips that were slightly swollen from all the kissing that they have done. Herobrine smirked and leaned over and kissed her lips gently. Red giggled and blushed as he showered her with some more feathery kisses that tickled her. "I love you so much." Red murmured into his chest as she embraced him from the side. Herobrine ran his large hand through her red locks of hair.

"I love you too, Red. I don't think I could be any happier than I am now. I am so glad I have you with me." Herobrine set a trail of kisses down the side of her neck that Red relished in. She loved all his kisses, every single one of them. He was so gentle with her and even when he was rough it was still sheer perfection. She couldn't help admit she liked it when he played rough too. Herobrine was an expert at playing rough. Red giggled at her perverted thoughts and then looked up over at Herobrine warmly.

It wasn't until a knock was heard at the door when Herobrine groaned in annoyance. Red glanced over at the door and blushed while making sure to cover herself up completely to make sure no part of her was ill exposed. Herobrine stood up from the bed and quickly changed into his normal attire before heading on over towards the door that was knocked on again. Taking the knob, he opened the door just enough so he could see who it was. It was one of his skeletons standing there and waiting for him. "What do you want?" Herobrine asked a bit impatiently to his skeletal minion.

"Notch has requested your presence at his kingdom. He has decided." The skeleton told him through the language that Red still didn't know and had a feeling she would never bother to learn. Herobrine's eyes widen at this news and he nods, "Very well. I will deal with it in a moment." Herobrine spoke back before closing the door and looking back at Red.

Scarlett looked at him in puzzlement as he looked back at her, "What's going on?" She asked curiously. Herobrine watched her figure as she got out of bed. He couldn't help admire her entire curvy nude body that he has seen a couple times, but each time she was just as beautiful as the first, if not more.

"Notch has decided whether I am to be King or not. He has requested an audience with us and is awaiting our arrival." Herobrine replied to her while continuing to watch her as she went over to grab a new long mermaid-style dress that was a gorgeous dark emerald green. Red didn't feel embarrassed bare in front of him because of both seeing each other a few times already. She felt the most comfortable in front of Herobrine. He was her love after all.

Slipping into her dress and putting back on her diamond tiara into her hair, she stepped over to Herobrine and hugged him with a smile. "This might mean Notch will crown you King of Minecraftia! You must be really anxious." Red said, in which, Hero nodded at her calmly.

"Indeed, I am only concerned of the response. If Notch says no then things could get ugly." Herobrine frowned at the prospect while Red shook her head.

"I'm sure Notch will hopefully make the right choice. Steve doesn't even want to be King of Minecraftia. You do. Notch would be a fool to not let you have your rightful spot as King. It was your right to begin with. The only reason you've done these 'oh so terrible' things that everyone blames you for is because you want what should have been yours already." Red stated assuredly before going over and grabbing onto Herobrine's red cape that was draped over a chair to the vanity in the room. Taking the cape in hand, she went over behind Herobrine to clasp the cape around him. Herobrine looked down thoughtfully as Scarlett put his cape on for him. Adjusting it so it was just right, Red then hugged him from behind for a moment before letting go. "Everything will be fine. I know it."

Herobrine turned to look at her and smiled, "I thank you for your encouragement. It means a lot."

"Of course." Red smiled back, "Are you ready to go?"

Herobrine nodded to her and went to hold her into arms, "If he says no, Scarlett. I'm sending you home. I will have to deal with it and I don't want you or our child to be harmed." Herobrine placed a hand on her stomach and looked at her seriously. Red glanced down at her own pregnant tummy and nodded.

"I can't promise I will but lets just hope he says yes."

Herobrine frowns slightly at this and then sighs, "You're so stubborn, love." Herobrine shakes his head and hears Red chuckle as he teleports to two away and to Notch's kingdom.

Appearing at the front entrance, the armored guards at the gate still shutter at the sight of Herobrine. They know they are not to attack him but his presence alone still scared them right down to the bone. Nervously, they open up the large doors and let Herobrine and Red walk through together. There at the throne as usual was Notch and he was busy talking to Steve about something. Blue was also seen there sitting off to the side and reading a book about magic.

Herobrine's very intense presence made everyone divert their attention from what they were doing to look over at the King and Queen of the Nether. "Scarlett!" Blue brought up first in excitement with a bright smile. Saving her page and closing her book, she set it to the side and stood up and rushed over to Red. "Oh my gosh, look at you! You're so pregnant!" She said and went to set her hands onto Red's tummy. Red smiled at her older sister and laughed as she felt the baby kick from inside. "Oh! I felt the baby kick!" Sapphire smiled brightly and then hugged her sister. Red and Blue embraced each other while Herobrine, Notch, and Steve all watched. "Do you know if its a boy or a girl?!" Blue asked excitedly as she pulled back with her smile never faltering away.

Red shrugged and laughed, "I have no idea to be honest!"

"I hope its a girl! Then you can name her after me!" Sapphire beamed and laughed joyfully alongside her sister. Herobrine strolled ahead of them as they chattered back and forth about the baby. It was nice to see that the two Chandler sisters were now getting along again.

"Brother…" Steve brought up as he eyed his oldest brother as he stood in front of the two of them. Herobrine nodded to him in acknowledgement and then looked over at Notch.

"You requested my presence." Herobrine said to Notch.

Notch nodded and placed his bearded chin onto his hand as he glanced back over at Red and Blue before looking back at Herobrine. "Indeed, I have. I have finally decided after much thought of what I have decided for you and the future of Minecraftia." Notch said and sighed as he glanced over at Steve who nodded at him in knowing. Herobrine glanced at his brother before looking back at Notch.

"Then what is your verdict?"

Red and Blue stopped chatting to look back over at Notch and Hero as Notch was just about to announce whether Herobrine would be proclaimed King of Minecraftia or not. The room felt heavy as Notch seemed to stay silent for what felt like forever. Herobrine was beyond anxious to what his Father's decision was going to be, even though his demeanor did not show it in the least.

"It was a most difficult choice but with much of Steve's help we all have decided. Herobrine…" Notch took a deep breath before declaring, "You are to be chosen to be the new King of Minecraftia. As the King of Minecraftia, I rightly declare that you may have the throne and I will step down. Please… Don't let me regret this accord. The people are already very unhappy of the choice I have made. It will take a long time to gain their favor, if ever."

Herobrine's white glowing eyes widen and a feeling of complete victory and accomplishment passed over him. Never in his life would he ever thought that Notch would willing step down and claim him ruler of Minecraftia. Red squealed in happiness as she ran over to Herobrine and latched onto him with a large embrace. Herobrine held onto her and placed his hand on top of her head as he stood there completely dumbfounded. Steve smiled at his older brother and stepped forward towards him.

"Welcome home, brother."

Herobrine's shocked eyes shifted to look at his little brother. He was absolutely speechless. Red wanted to jump up and down in glee, if she weren't pregnant, she would be bouncing off the walls in joy right now. Herobrine finally reacted properly once he was comprehending what was happening. He grabbed onto Red and lifted her up into the air and spun her around, her dress twirling along with her. Red began laughing giddily as he whirled her around with a real large genuine smile rising on Herobrine's lips. "I'm King, Scarlett! Its about damn time!" He shouted high spirits as he set Red back down onto the ground carefully.

"Yes, you are! This is incredible news!" Red chirped and clung back onto him with a large hug. Notch stood in the background looking unsure of the entire situation. Steve smiled faintly and placed a hand onto his Father's shoulder in reassurance.

"It'll be okay, Father." Steve said with completely confidence. Notch nodded in silence but still wasn't completely convinced. Only time would tell now if Herobrine was truly worthy of the throne. Notch wasn't too sure after seeing all the horrible things Herobrine has done in the past. Still, he trusted Steve that he had made the right choice by letting Herobrine take the throne with Red at his side as Queen of Minecraftia.

Blue walked over and smiled softly as she was next to Steve, "You still sure this will blow over okay?"

"I'm certain. Herobrine is a worthy ruler, he knows what he's doing. That much I do know without a doubt. I just hope more than anything he doesn't revert back to his old ways." Steve replied before going over and hugging Blue to himself. Blue hugged him back tightly and kissed him on the lips. For as long as she has been here in the Minecraft world outside her own world. She found herself becoming drawn into this world and feeling it was her real home, here with Steve. She had accidentally fell in love with the young miner and prince of Minecraftia. She didn't have the desire to leave, not even a little. She was sure with some convincing she could ask Herobrine to let her stay. She didn't have a doubt Steve would be more than okay with it, but Notch she wasn't as sure. Hopefully, now with Herobrine being the King, she could stay here at the castle and remain with Steve. Maybe, she could even learn magic and become the new chief sorcerer of the kingdom! She kinda like the thought of that. The magic here in this world really fascinated her and perhaps maybe she could even teach Steve once she learned herself. She did love teaching others new things.

"I'm so happy for you Herobrine… Or should I say King Herobrine of Minecraftia and the Nether!" Red said in delight as she clasped her hands together in front of her and looked to Hero with a warm meaningful grin on her face. Herobrine nodded with a brazen demeanor. He was absolutely beyond elated that his biggest dream of being King of Minecraftia has finally been realized. Walking gradually over to the throne, everyone watched Herobrine as he looked at it before glancing over at Red. She gave him an affirmative nod and thumbs up. Herobrine felt the powerful anticipation rush through his blood as he turned around and soon sat down on the throne, his throne.

Red clapped loudly while trying not to squeal like a happy little school girl as her love took his rightful spot on the throne. Steve gave a firm nod and bowed his head to his brother in respect. Blue still wasn't quite sure if the whole idea was the best to let Herobrine have the throne, but she trusted Steve's decision. Notch felt bittersweet about his oldest son sitting on the throne. He was proud he raised such a strong fearless son but on the other end he was not quite sure if Herobrine could rule without succumbing back to his old evil habits.

Herobrine laid his arms on the armrests of the throne and smirked. This is exactly how he envisioned it… almost. Lifting up his right hand, he began gesturing to Red in a 'come hither' gesture with his pointer finger. Red giggled with a blush and strolled up in front of him and with a sexy smirk. She brought her leg over his and sat down on his lap before leaning in and pressing her lips against his. Herobrine smirked into the kiss and swirled his tongue within her mouth, savoring her taste that he surely was addicted too. Notch shook his head and looked away, his mind full of racing thoughts, he needed time to think things over. "I'll be back. I need some time alone." Notch said and took his leave. Steve and Blue watched Notch leave before turning their gaze on the King and Queen who were now passionately making out on the throne.

Steve cleared his throat to try and get their undivided attention but it didn't seem to work as they kept hungrily devouring each other's lips. Blue rolled her eyes and looked at Steve before shrugging and grabbing onto the collar of his shirt and pulling him in for a kiss of their own. If they were going to sit there and make out in front of them, why not give them their own little show? Blue startled Steve and made him furiously blush as the two also began kissing each other rather messily. Steve was left with a dreamy far-out look when Blue pulled away and wiped her mouth with her hand and laughed at his expression.

Red and Herobrine stared into each other's eyes lovingly. Red brought up her hand and caressed the side of his face softly, "I love you, my King."

"Not as much as I love my Queen. My dearest Queen of Minecraftia." Herobrine grinned, showing his sharp pearly white teeth. Red giggled airily and kissed his cheek. Hearing a loud whistle, Red and Herobrine finally looked over to see Steve and Blue standing there and staring.

"Okay, we get it. You're in love but seriously get a room." Blue teased with a faint smile. Red snorted and burst into laughter.

"You should talk Blue. I saw you two lip-locking over there. Ours was better by the way." Red stuck out her tongue childishly as she continued to sit on Herobrine's lap on the throne. Steve was blushing and crossed his arms.

"Brother, I want to make sure something is settled before I start calling you the King of Minecraftia."

Herobrine rose his brown eyebrow at Steve as Steve suddenly grinned, "If your baby is a boy. You better promise to name him after me!"

Herobrine's serious face dulled as he rolled his glowing white eyes before smirking, "I make no such promises, but I can promise you now that you may see the child. I have to thank you, Steve. For all that you've done. I honestly can say this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't stepped in to stand up to our Father. So… thank you, Steve." Herobrine said with the utmost seriousness. Steve continued to grin goofily and nodded his head.

"Just don't make me regret it, big brother. You still have a lot to prove to people. No offense, but people are still sorta terrified of you."

"They'll grow to find he's just a giant cuddly teddy bear!" Red inquired and start bursting out in laughter at Herobrine's annoyed expression. "Don't give me that look. Sorry, I mean KING teddy bear, King Herobear or Teddybrine. I kinda like Teddybrine. What do you think?"

"Just… stop right there. I'm not a teddy bear…" Herobrine grumbled under his breath and looked away with a faint blush dusted across his cheeks. Red began laughing again, even Sapphire and Steve were laughing at Herobrine's unnatural embarrassed demeanor.

"So, I wanted to bring something up." Blue brought up as she walked over closer to Herobrine and Red. Herobrine rose an eyebrow and looked at her curiously.

"Yes?"

"I know we've had our … disagreements in the past. Some in which, I'm still sorta angry over, since ya know' you tried to kill me… I will forgive you on two conditions. One, you better damn well take the best care of my little sister and the child or I will hunt you down and make you hate living. And two, I want you to give me permission to stay here in Minecraftia with Steve… forever."

Steve's mouth fell open as he heard Blue's words. "Blue…" He murmured and felt a pang of what he swore was love all over again. She was the sweetest girl to him in the entire world! How was he so lucky to have such a woman love him back and want to remain with him forever and away from her own world. Herobrine stared at Blue in thought before glancing at Red's face. She was giving him a 'you better let her stay or I'll never have sex with you again' look. Herobrine sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"I suppose, you may stay. I'm sure Red will want you to be here and I don't even have to ask my brother. We all know his answer."

Steve excitedly jumped up in the air and fist pumped before grabbed onto Blue and squeezed her into a deathly tight hug. "YES!" He shouted and made Blue blush as red as Scarlett's hair. "I love you so much, Blue! You're seriously the best girl ever and I'm so glad your mine!" Steve shouted dramatically and was getting all emotional over Blue, almost to the point he was in happy tears.

Red snickered at them while Herobrine rolled his eyes at the two who were staring googly-eyed at each other, the way only love sick puppies would. Red kept snickering before she suddenly felt strange. Standing up from Herobrine, she began walking a little away from him and holding tightly onto her stomach. Herobrine furrowed his brows and watched Red walk away from him with a troubled expression on her face.

"Scarlett, what is wrong?"

Blue and Steve stopped staring at each other and looked back over at Red in confusion. "Red?" Blue murmured in concern.

"What's wrong?" Steve also asked worriedly as he stared at the Queen.

Red's bangs fell over her brown eyes as she looked down at her stomach and groaned in pain. "Guys…I-I… I think my water just broke."
