Rating: Mature

Warning: Mature Themes

Word count: 790

Eight Years later…….

Riley watched as Liam stared down into the face of the newborn child cradled in his arms, the enraptured expression on his face no different than the one he’d worn when he’d held both Eleanor and Alexander for the first time. The fact of this child’s paternity clearly had no effect on the king’s love for the precious bundle wrapped in his arms. A fact that only made the queen love him more.

Liam cooed down at the fresh face of new life with a smile before turning and transferring him into Drake’s waiting arms, “You got him?”

“Yeah…I think so…”

“Here, let me help you.” Liam chuckled softly as he helped Drake position the baby correctly in his arms.

It wasn’t that he’d never held a baby. He’d been nothing short of an amazing with Ellie and Xander but holding this child hit differently. He was nervous as he took the infant in his arms and gazed down into the face of his newborn son for the first time.

He’d thought that his life was complete before. There was nothing more he had wanted. He loved Riley more than he’d ever thought possible, as far as he was concerned, she was everything, the center of his entire universe.

He loved Liam every bit as much as he loved Savannah, maybe more. Liam was the brother of his heart regardless of DNA and he’d be forever grateful they’d been able to repair their relationship. More than repair, actually. They were arguably stronger for all they’d been through and all they’d shared.

He loved Crown Princess Eleanor and Prince Alexander, the embodiments of the two people he loved most in the world. Of course, he loved them.

He had thought what he felt for Ellie and Xander was what every parent felt, but holding his son in his arms for the first time, he couldn’t deny that there was a different connection there, something very primal.

“Ahhh, marshmallow, are you crying?” Riley asked.

“What? No!” He sniffed, “Maybe.”

“It’s ok, brother.” Liam clapped him on the back, “It’s an emotional moment. You’re allowed to be human you know.”

Drake just nodded, unable to tear his gaze away. How was it possible that he could see Riley, Savannah, Bianca and Jackson all in that tiny scrunched up face? “What’s his name?”

“Well, I was waiting for you to make that decision, but I was thinking about naming him Jackson.”

Drake’s head shot up at that, “Are you serious?”

“Yes. If that’s something you want.”

“To honor my father? Yes, I’d love that!” He was no longer hiding the tears that tumbled down his cheeks.

Later that night……

“Ellie and Xander are all tucked in and sound asleep.” Liam said as he dropped into the plush, overstuffed armchair next to Drake, “How are Riley and Jax doing?”

“Both sleeping.” Drake responded, handing Liam a tumbler of bourbon. “What a day.”

“A good one though, right?” Liam studied his best friend’s face.

“Yeah. It was great, actually, fucking amazing! Probably the most amazing day of my life honestly.”

“I know.” Liam responded, “Becoming a father for the first time is a once in a lifetime experience. I’m glad you got to experience it.”

“Yeah?” Drake asked a little doubtfully.

“Yeah.” Liam replied firmly.

“You’re not the least little bit resentful that it happened with Riley?”

“You mean am I mad you got my wife pregnant?” Liam smirked. “There was a time when I would have been livid. But Drake, we’ve worked through all that. I haven’t just been pretending to be ok with things all these years.”

“I know. Sometimes I still just feel like….”

“Like what?”

“Like maybe I don’t deserve any of this. Her, you, the baby….” He sighed then he threw the rest of his drink back.

Liam shook his head with a soft smile, “That’s always been your problem. You don’t give yourself enough credit.”

“Maybe.”

“Maybe nothing.” Liam snorted, “Drake, listen to me. I love Riley with all my heart. I can’t imagine feeling this way about another woman, I know I never will. And I know she loves me back. But she loves you too and….so do I. Not in a sexual way, don’t make it weird, but you know what I mean.”

Liam looked away, bringing his glass to his mouth.

“Goddamn Li!” Drake wiped at a stray tear, “Are you trying to make me cry again?”

Liam laughed and held his bourbon out in response.

Drake knocked his glass against Liam’s as he replied softly, “I love you too, brother. Thank you for not giving up on me all those years ago.”

“Never. It’s the three of us against the world, always.”

“Always.”

Unbreakable: The Riley Campbell Chronicles

The Riley Campbell Chronicles consists of one mini-series, the Unbreakable Universe and the Unbreakable AU's.

I have so many visuals for this series! This was the story I came here to write. And I did. Then I started writing other stories and well, the rest is history lol.

Unbreakable is a series of connected stories that lead chronologically into each other. They are fairly canon compliant.

My Best Friends Girl (MBFG) is based on book one of the Royal Romance and is in first person from Drake’s point of view. It is canon compliant for the most part. The major difference is that Drake has an important function at the palace, he is not just a free-loading professional best friend. Some things take place “off page” (were not in the original story) but do not change the things that are “on page” (aka canon).

Three Weeks in Ramsford (TWIR) Is based on the time period between book 1 and book 2 that Riley spent at the Beaumont estate. It is canon divergent in that Drake finds a way to make and stay in contact with her during this time period. Some of the events are changed slightly.

Complicated is the sequel to Three Weeks in Ramsford. This series explores the complicated emotions as Riley finds herself entangled in a love triangle, torn between Liam and Drake. It’s canon divergent in that it adds scenes that weren’t in the original (as well as some original characters) and develops the relationships more. The main events/timeline are the same.

Hinge is the fourth installment in the ongoing saga of Riley, Liam and Drake. This series explores the emotions and logistics as they enter into a “Cordonian Arrangement” and learn to navigate a polyamorous relationship.

The Proposal is a short miniseries and my very first foray into TRR fan fiction. Unbreakable was the (very) expanded version of this idea.

Next came the AU's for this universe. She's still Riley Beth Campbell, canon still mostly happened up until the end of book one, and their personalities are much the same.

My Best Friend's Girl Remix starts with an alternate ending to My Best Friend's Girl, namely that Drake went after her the night of the coronation, and continues their story.

Forbidden Passion finds her married to Liam, but unable to stay away from Drake.

Heir Apparent has her married to Drake, but pregnant as a result of the Vega's fling with Liam.

Yoga Pants takes place during Three Weeks in Ramsford. It happens during the hot yoga session and was written for the Drake's Tight Pants Anthology hosted by @drake-walker-appreciation

Complicated Couples was a little project that follows the other couples from Complicated, including all my OC's that I kept having to create and my cross-over couple from RoD.

Heir Apparent Chapter 16: Breaking News

Series: Heir Apparent.

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairings: Drake x Riley, Liam x Riley (past)

Rating: R

Warnings: Mature themes

Word Count: 2,183

A/N: This is my submission for the @choicesprompts, it wasn't planned but once I started writing, I was like oh shit, here is the next chapter of Heir Apparent!

Find the prompt here

Everything else: Master List.

“Holy crap, we’re gonna be late!” Riley yelped when her eyes glanced up at the decorative wall clock. “Turn that off!” she ordered in a cross tone to her companion, who was still watching the streaming show.

“Late? For what?” The question was asked in a tone that was both confused and distracted.

“The THING!”

Her companion finally pulled his eyes away from the 60-inch screen, brows furrowed. “I know of no THING,” he protested.

She heaved a huge sigh of exasperation. “It’s on your calendar! Now, stop talking and start moving!” She gently slapped his forearm in light admonishment. “I’m done with the conversation now!”

She turned away to plump her pillows.

Her eyes widened in surprise when she felt arms wrap around her waist and pads of thumbs press into her hips. Her body was a feather as it was pulled back onto the bed.

“Sit back down!” her companion ordered.

The woman frowned at him before her eyes found the television screen again.

What the...? Is that …? WHAT is he doing?

“I’m sat!” Riley informed him as she plunked down onto the mattress next to him.

Drake had stopped the episode of Top Chef he’d been watching, and the news had come up on the regular cable channel it was now tuned to. Liam’s face was plastered all over the screen. But it wasn’t Liam giving a news conference like she had first thought. It was old footage of him accompanying a breaking story.

The scrawl across the bottom of the screen made her heart sink, “Oh, no.” She breathed out in a quiet panic, their dinner with the Valtorian council forgotten.

“I’m so sorry, babe.” Drake told her, his eyes full of concern as they traced her face.

“Turn it up please.”

“Are you sure?”

She simply nodded. He pointed the remote at the sixty inch flat screen and pushed the volume button.

“A confidential source tells us that Cordonia will soon have its heir despite the king’s relationship status as a confirmed bachelor.” The female reporter with short cropped brunette hair spoke to the camera.

“So how does that work?” The middle aged male anchor asked her.

“Well, there is some precedence in our history. The father of Queen Kenna’s children is unknown as she chose another woman as her life partner, but it never mattered because Kenna was the one who carried the Rys blood. It’s a little tricker when the male parent to the out of wedlock child is the one in the line of succession, but there is still plenty of precedence for it. There have been illegitimate children named as heir before when the monarch had no true born children. King Fabian, for example, his biological children were conceived with his mistress, not his wife. He simply had to claim and legitimize them. Unlike a hundred years ago, we now have DNA testing, so confirming paternity is really a simple matter and my source tells me that this testing has already been done. The child in question has allegedly been confirmed as the biological child of King Liam Rys.”

“Do we know who the alleged mother is?” The anchor asked.

Riley’s hand landed on Drake’s arm, her fingers pressing into him. He scooted closer to her and wrapped an arm around her. This was exactly what they were hoping to avoid. They had wanted to make the announcement themselves, in order to better control the narrative. The last thing he wanted was to have his pregnant wife blindsided by a hoard of rabid reporters on a random Tuesday when she was trying to shop or attend a council meeting.

He had increased the number of guards on her detail. With Liam’s consent and full support, he had quickly thrown together a new guard until that basically amounted to a queen’s guard. They just didn’t call it that, because she wasn’t the queen. She was the duchess of Valtoria, and she was his wife, not Liam’s.

But she was still carrying the heir to the throne.

“No, Tomas, we don’t have confirmation on the mother yet, but rumors are circulating about several different women the king has been connected to in the past.”

“In the past?” The anchorman asked, “Is the king not connected to anyone right now?”

“If he is, he’s keeping it a secret.” The reporter answered, “King Liam has not been publicly linked to or seen with a woman since he broke his engagement to Madeleine Amaranth. We have reached out to the Countess of Fydelia for comment and she has issued an official statement that she is not pregnant with the king’s baby, or anyone else’s. The countess denies having ever had a physical relationship with the king.”

The camera cut back to the anchorman, “I remember at the time their engagement ended, there were rumors that the break was caused by the king’s feelings for another woman.”

“Yes, Tomas, those rumors were never substantiated, but the woman in question was Riley Brooks, Cordonia’s Every Woman and the current Duchess of Valtoria who married the king’s best friend, Drake Walker in a private, intimate ceremony earlier this year.”

Tomas raised his eyebrows as he insinuated things. “And is there any precedence for the king conceiving an heir with a woman who is married to another man?”

“Yes and no. King Tiberius, the great great grandfather of King Liam had three children with the married Duchess of Krona, Brinn Albright. But those children were never considered for succession because he had children with his wife as well. He never publicly acknowledged those children, and the Duke of Krona apparently turned a blind eye and raised them as his own. Subsequent DNA testing of descendants have since proven what was known as an open secret at court at the time.”

“Wow. Well, this is going to be history in the making if the mother is married to another man and king claims this alleged heir and inserts them into the line of succession.”

“Yes, Tomas, but it would also serve to strengthen his position by securing the Rys line and calm the pressure from factions that are clamoring for him to marry and produce an heir. If this information is true, then Cordonia has an heir, and the king will not be under pressure to marry any time soon.”

“Well thank you, Merina. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.” Tomas turned away from the screen with Merina on it and faced the camera, “and now all of Cordonia is wondering, who is the mystery woman carrying our future and why hasn’t the king made an official announcement? We’ll be back with Robert Somerson, political analyst, tenured professor of political science at Cordonia University and author of ‘Kings and Queens of Cordonia: A History’ for discussion and some possible answers, right after this break. Please stay with us.”

“Turn it off!” Riley said, barely contained emotion tainting her words.

Drake clicked the television off and took her fully into his arms. His hands ran down her back, stroked through her hair and glided over her shoulders as his mouth trailed through her hair, “It’s ok, baby, it’s ok. I’m here, I’m right here.”

They had known this day would come; they had just hoped for more time. At least the press hadn’t figured out that Riley was the pregnant woman in question, but they would. It was only a matter of time.

“I’m ok.” She wiped at her eyes before staring up into his, “I love you; you understand that right?”

He tightened his grasp around her body. “I do understand that Riley, I’m not running away again, I promise.”

“And I’m not leaving you for Liam, you know that too, right?”

“I know.” He hugged her even tighter. They had already been through hell, their marriage almost torn apart by insecurities, misunderstandings, and lack of communication. He wasn’t making any of those mistakes again.

“You have been nothing short of amazing through all of this and some days I don’t think I deserve you.” She told him.

“Whatever.” He scoffed, “I’m the one that doesn’t deserve you and the whole world knows it.”

“Do you think….should we call Liam?”

Drake sighed as he considered the question. “Not right now. Reporters will be circling him like the vultures they are. Let’s wait. If anyone catches wind that we called him right after that story broke, it could point them in your direction.”

“I think they already are.”

He shook his head, “Nah. You’re just one of several possibilities at this point.”

“It’s going to become obvious soon.” She told him.

His eyes slid down her body. She was right. She was already wearing looser clothes to accommodate her growing belly. It wouldn’t be long before the curve of her once flat stomach was noticeable to the public at large and not just to him. They had hoped to wait until after the baby was born to make an official announcement, but with the press already scenting blood in the water, Liam’s most recent ex walking around Cordonia with a baby bump was going to cause much more than a splash. It was going to set off a feeding frenzy.

And he still hadn’t told his mother or sister.

“We need get out ahead of this and make a statement before they figure it out on their own.” He told her, “But first we need to warn our friends and family because when they can’t get to us, they will fall on people like Hana and Max. Bertrand can handle himself with the press, but my sister needs a heads up and my mom-“

Riley nodded. Hana, Olivia and Max already knew but that was it. She was dreading having to explain the situation to her husband’s family, “Drake, I’m sorry, it’s my fault that-“

“Shhhhh. Don’t start that again. This is part and parcel of the royal lifestyle. The press will always be obsessed with every little thing you do. Your friends and family will always be fair game to them. Max, Bert, Hana, they understand this.”

Riley sniffed as tears threatened to spill down her face, “A lifestyle you never wanted.”

“What?” He drew back to look directly into her eyes, “I know I talk a lot of shit about the nobility, but I’m used to it too, and somehow all the people I love most are part of it. You, Liam, Leo, Savannah now that she’s a Beaumont. Hana. Hell, even Max, and don’t you dare tell him I said that!”

Laughter broke through her tears, “No promises, Walker. The fact that he made that list would send Max over the moon and you know it!”

“Yeah. That’s precisely why he can never know.” Drake chuckled as he wiped at the errant tear that escaped and trickled down her cheek.

“Ok.” Riley drew away from him and stood up, “We’ll get everyone together in the next day or two. Meanwhile, we still have to get to that council dinner I was trying to tell you about. Nothing can look amiss and we’re already late!”

“Ok, you’re right.” He stood and stretched, “But I still maintain that I had no prior knowledge of this thing, as you called it.”

“Yes, Drake, it’s on your calendar, I put it there myself!” She told him indignantly as she reached for his phone.

He let her pull it out of his pocket and watched as she scrolled through it. Her face lit up triumphantly as she opened his calendar app then immediately fell, her brows creasing as she scrolled back and forth through it. “What? Shit. No, no, I know I put it on here!”

“Are you sure you didn’t just think about putting it in there?” He laughed as he reached for his phone.

“Yeah, maybe.” She muttered sheepishly as she handed it back, “Fucking pregnancy brain!”

“It’s ok babe. I got it. I’ll call and let them know we’re running late while you go pee. I know you need to, and probably grab a snack to eat on the way as well.”

“I don’t need a snack on the way to dinner, Drake!” She said indignantly.

He gave her a look.

She flushed, “Fine, ok, I could use a granola bar. Shut up!”

He held his arms up as he laughed, “I didn’t say anything!”

He watched her scurrying around the room getting ready and he felt like his heart might explode. Despite everything that had happened, here they were, together, happy, in love.

He knew all hell was about to break loose, but he also knew that come what may, they could handle it. Because he could handle anything as long as he had her by his side and in his corner. He didn’t even care that she kept forgetting to inform him about council meetings until the last minute. He didn’t care that marrying her had made him a duke. All he cared about was that he was hers and she was his and they were happy.
