Making herself comfortable, she indicated with her pointing finger for him to come closer, and after taking off his head covering and his Thobe, he did just that by kneeling before her. "At your service, Princess." He smiles warmly. "You are legally mine, right?" "I am." He reply. "Hmm, I like the sound of that." "By the way, have you named them?" He asks, placing his palm against her stomach. "Not yet. I was thinking of naming them after you, but I can't seem to find the perfect names to match yours."
"I have been thinking, and I came up with Matthias from your Holy book. That name sounds very similar to mine, but it's spelled differently, so I was thinking of Prince Matthias Karim Josiah Khan for our son and Princess Aaliyah Amina Elizabeth Khan for our daughter. What do you think of those names?" He ask. "Wow, you came up with those all on your own?" "I did."
"They are perfect, I love them." "Thank you, so we will go with those then?" "We will, but you know if anyone told me two days ago that I would be sitting here with you like this today, I probably would have laughed at them." "I can relate." He chuckles. "When will you be seeing your doctor again?" He asks. "In two days." "Okay." "Um, Moses?" "Hmm." "This isn't a dream, is it?" "No, it isn't."
"This is actually happening?" "Yes, it is." "Good grief, my life is never going to be the same, is it?" "No, it won't." He laugh. "Okay, so reality check, but um.... based on what I read about your previous fiancée, am I even safe as your wife?" She asked, her tone filled with worry. "You will be. My father and I have ensured something of that nature will never happen again." He assured her.
"Okay, but I'm a black woman; will your people even accept me?" She ask. "Fact is, Razor and his gang do not accept the Prime Minister of your island, but that does not change the fact that he is the Prime Minister of your Island and what he says stands. So for whatever reason they choose not to accept you, that will not change the fact that you are their future queen." He says firmly.
"Fair enough, and now that you are legally mine I can have my way with you whenever I choose." She says, pulling him up so she could kiss him. "You may, but we need to be careful with them." He says, gently moving his palm over her stomach. "And we will, but get this fact, my incredibly handsome Arabian Prince, there's no way you will get out of me indulging in all of this tonight." She whispers against his lips while massaging the front of his pants.
"Do we have an understanding?" She asks. After clearing his throat, he answers. "We do." "Good, by the way, where are we heading now?" "To the reception area." "Wait, I want us to go somewhere first." "Okay." "Tell the driver to head to Devon House and then to Emancipation Park. I went to both when I moved to Kingston, and I like both places. I spend most of the time there daydreaming of walking hand in hand with you across the lush green lawn, and now I get the chance to live my dream." She says with a bright smile.
"As you wish Princess," He nods while dialling Keshan's number, instructing him to do as his Princess wishes, then sitting next to her he pulls her into his arms and captures her lips with his, releasing her only so she could breathe before capturing them again.

She was right, he thought as they were leaving Emancipation Park. Those were two beautiful places. Because of her exquisite, glamorous wedding gown, the fact that she was in an advanced state of pregnancy, and his stylish attire, they stood out quite a bit from the other newly wedded couples that were there taking photos, but he enjoyed being there with her and looked forward to visiting them again after the birth of his babies.
He smiled to himself as he remembered her saying that one couldn't visit Devon House and not try their ice cream, but looking at the dessert, he knew that it wasn't something he would be able to consume, so he told her to only buy one, and they would share it, and just as he had thought, it was too sweet for his taste buds, but he enjoyed watching her eat it. Her family was also there, so he treated them to the dessert as well; the council members and everyone else who were at the church had gone to the reception area.
After driving for a while, the limo came to a stop at a massive white iron gate. The gate was buzzed open, and they drove in along a winding driveway that opened up to a white three-story mansion. Seconds later, the limo door was opened by Keshan. "Welcome to your reception, Prince Mathayus, Princess Liah." He bows to them as Mathayus helps her out of the limo. Mathayus nods, and Liah's eyes widen in awe at the view before her
"Holy mother of mansion," she breathed out, her hand at her throat. "Moses, where are we? And how in god's name did your father find this place, much less get it to rent for today? This place is amazing." She gasped in amazement, her eyes taking in the exquisite decorations on the lush green lawn leading towards the reception area and the entrance of the mansion.
"This way, Your Highness," Keshan says, leading them towards the entrance of the mansion. "Your father would like to have a word with both of you, after which you both may change into more comfortable evening wear," Keshan adds as two guards open the door for them.
Fifteen minutes later, Liah let out a long, slow breath that she wasn't even aware she was holding. "I just spoke to the king of Saudi Arabia." She breathed out as her steps halted. "How is this happening right now?" She asked Mathayus in wide-eyed shock. "Relax, in addition to being the king, he's now your father-in-law." He smiles warmly.
"My father-in-law? Moses, that man is even scarier than you are." "Like father, like son, but to know us is to love us, wouldn't you agree?" He asks. "Yes, yes, I totally agree, but all this seems so unreal, and this house, Moses, this place is amazing." "I'm pleased that it's to your approval because this will be our home from today onward."
"Wait, what? You mean we will be living here?" "Yes." "How? Moses, I know that you are rich, but come on, how are we supposed to afford this place? We have our twins' future to think about, and what about the apartment that I'm currently living in?" She asked out of breath.
"Look at me, take deep breaths and calm down, yes this is a lot to take in all at once. You will have to take it in strides because this is happening now. Our children will lack nothing in this world, trust me on that, and you don't need to worry about affording this place because my father has already bought it as a wedding gift for both of us." He explain.
"What?" "Yes, he did, and as for your current apartment, I understand that it's a rental, so we will return it to its owner." "Moses?" She called, her feet still rooted to the spot. "Are you sure this isn't a dream?" She asked, her voice trembling. Pulling her gently into his arms, he again captured her lips with his; after releasing her, he asked. "Do you still think that you are dreaming?" "Good god, I hope not," she said as her feet began moving again.
