Chapter 2:

I opened my eyelids to see myself snuggled with Maxon on my bed. Both his arms held me and my head was on his bare chest. He was breathing slowly and deeply. I admired his strong muscles that kept me warm. The pillows were scattered along the floor and the blanket was tangled with us. The sunshine leaked through the curtains a tiny bit.

I moved and suddenly Maxon moved as well. He slowly opened his sleepy eyes.

Once he recognized me he said, "Good morning Mrs. Shreave."

I gave a small laugh and said, "Morning Maxon."

He suddenly started tickling me and I started kicking everywhere.

"Maxon, stop!"

We were both laughing hard and smiling at each other. He leaned down and gave me a kiss.

"Do we need to get ready?" I ask.

"I specifically told everyone not to disturb us until we call them so no, but if you want to we can. I want to spend the entire day with you. There are no meeting and anything; we can do anything you want."

Maxon seriously was too perfect. Even though I'm his wife now, I still believe I don't deserve him. Somebody who does everything they can to ensure happiness for me is somebody I shouldn't have.

"I guess we can lie down for another 30 minutes and then get dressed. What do you think?"

"Perfect," he said kissing my forehead.

I put on my ring and songbird necklace on once my maids scurried out of the room. It was funny seeing them winking throughout the entire getting-ready process. I glanced out the window and saw the beautiful gardens. Maxon and I had agreed to eat lunch and then take a walk.

I heard three knocks on the door that connected my blue Princess's suite to Maxon's. Maxon had it specifically decorated for me. I had a canopy bed with brown wooden poles and white curtains. The walls were all blue, but the furniture was white and brown. I really didn't deserve such a beautiful room.

Maxon walked in without me answering and stared. His face had a smile on it probably because of how I looked. My dress was a white and came up above the knees. It looked strapless but there was lace on top that wrapped around my neck creating a halter. The skirt was just a skater skirt, but it also looked stunning. I wore the bracelet that matched my ring, as well as diamond earrings, and my other two personal favorites. I was wearing heels that weren't too high as well.

"You like my dress?"

He walked over and said, "Absolutely stunning."

We walked out the room with me holding his elbow as he held it out. I hung close to him scared that if I let go everything would fall apart.

When we walked into the dining room, everybody was already seated.

"Maxon, America, I'm glad you could join us for lunch," the Queen said enthusiastically.

We both sat down at the two seats next to each other. The maids quickly scurried to us serving the food.

"Maxon there is a budgeting problem in 2 provinces. Read and find a solution for the meeting tomorrow. "

He said, "Excuse me sir, but I just got married yesterday and you've already stopped us from going on a honeymoon so I expect to at least spend the day after my wedding with my wife."

The King stood up and replied angrily, "I don't care about your wedding. It's nothing, but a distraction for the people. I expect those budgeting sheets done!"

Maxon was gritting his teeth and I could tell he was mad now. I looked over at my worried family who looked a tiny bit scared. Poor May… poor Gerad.

Maxon never usually talked back to his father so when he did it the first time I was surprised.

Maxon stood up as well holding my hand while he did and said, "'A stupid distraction? I'm your only son and I found the most amazing girl to get married to and you're calling our wedding a distraction?! Are you that heartless?"

The King was now furious. "Leave and get out of my sight. I happen to be the King, and I don't want to deal with this stupidity.

"Fine then," Maxon replied. He pulled gently at my hand, but I knew what I had to do. I gently put my other hand on top of his and tugged it downward.

"It's okay Maxon, just finish your food."

He gave me an irritated look, but calmed down and sat.

Queen Amberley said, "Clarkson, this isn't appropriate around guests, please sit down."

King Clarkson sat down angrily, but I knew he knew that he shouldn't behave like this in front of my parents. Before I started eating I give an apology look at my family who thankfully had shrugged the fight off.

The moment I put my napkin on the table Maxon asked me if I'd like to leave. I could sense he was hinting, "I want to slap him on the face so let's go away."

"Sure," I reply standing up.

Maxon and I had walked out the room and to the gardens.

We walked hand-in- hand silently until he said, "I'm sorry about him. I love you and I'm finally married to you and he's acting as if we have to go rule the country this second."

"It's okay Maxon, it's okay. He's him; just ignore it. Let's try and enjoy the day."

"Thanks Mere."

I love it when he calls me by my nickname. It makes me feel younger and with less problems. It lets me remember a tiny bit of the past, but more of the future.

"Kenna," I called out as Maxon and I walked down the halls. She was holding baby Astra in her hands while cradling her gently.

"Hello America," she said with a smile.

"Where are you off to?"

"James has planned a surprise for me this afternoon since it's our last day here."

"Oh, that's so sweet, but how about Astra."

"I don't know we will just have her with us."

"I can take care of her," I reply enthusiastically.

"Nonsense, it's the day after the wedding, go enjoy yourselves."

"I'd actually love to spend some time with her. You and James also deserve a break; it must be hard to manage such a tiny person." Maxon said with a nervous look.

Kenna laughed, "It's certainly does keep you up at night! I guess if you two lovebirds want to you could take Astra. It'll give you two some practice!"

Practice? Wait what?

I turned to Maxon who had a dazed expression on his face. Kenna placed the little girl in my arms and I cradled her.

"I expect some gorgeous nieces and nephews," she said before waving goodbye.

Maxon turned to me with a smirk and said, "We would make the most beautiful children in the world."

I gave a small laugh, but it faded. We started walking to Kenna's room to play with Astra.

Once we were settled in some chairs I said, "Maxon, I know we have to have children, but when? We definitely can't in the next 6 months."

He sighed and said, " I know my darling. I don't really know when though. I guess we wait and see what happens."

I nodded silently. Astra was asleep so I placed her in her cradle. I sat in Maxon's lap and simply let my head lay on his shoulder.

"You'd be an amazing mother. We could have a billion children yet you would care to each and every one of them with such love."

"Thank you honey, but you'd be the better parent. You'd make time for them even with a life as King. They'd love you," I replied.

"We'd both be amazing and dedicated."

I smiled and let myself relax in his arms.

Hope you guys liked this chapter!
