I am so so sorry for taking forever to post this, but I just finished it just now! This is the last chapter before the epilogue so I hope you guys like it. Enjoy!!

A week after the twins were born, Harry didn't expect to see his sister Gemma walk through the door. She was holding her husband's hand and a woman who Harry assumed was the nanny was following behind holding a baby boy in her arms. While Harry was sure Gemma was fine with letting someone else take care of her son while she attended to her duties, he knew it wasn't going to be like that for Louis.

His lovely husband refused to let anybody else that wasn't himself or Harry take care of their babies. He spent all day with them and it was like a dream for Harry. He never thought he would have his own family.

"Alexandre, Gemma." Harry greeted them. "It's good to see you."

"Harry, it's good to see you too. How are you? How's your husband and your children?" The man asked with a thick French accent. He was a tall brown-eyed man with blond hair down to his shoulders. Harry considered him to be handsome, but would never be comparable to his husband's beauty.

"They're doing wonderful." Harry smiled. Everytime he talked about them, his heart soared with love.

"I cannot wait to meet them." Gemma smiled as she wrapped her arms around her younger brother.

"And I cannot wait for you to meet them. They're my everything, Gemma."

"I can tell. Your eyes sparkle when you talk of them. Father and mother?" She kissed his cheek then held his hands in hers.

"They're in their bedroom. They did not tell me you were coming. It was a great surprise."

"They do not know either. I wanted to surprise you." Gemma said, then looked at the woman holding the small child in her arms, opening her own gently taking her firstborn. "And this is Noé."

"May I?" Harry asked.

Gemma nodded and let the future king hold her child. Alexandre wrapped his arm around Gemma's waist, watching his firstborn look at his uncle as he settled down comfortably in the man's arms. It now came so naturally for Harry to hold a child, especially when he would hold his own children all the time. He and Louis would take afternoon walks with their babies and every passing day, Harry's feelings for the blue eyed beauty only grew stronger. It was safe to say Harry couldn't live without Louis. He slept peacefully at night when he was sure Louis felt the same way. He felt it every time Louis kissed him, every time Louis let him hold him and the way he would hold him too. As if Harry was his lifeline. Harry was so in love with him.

"I'm sure they will be delighted to see you three. They are finally going to meet their grandson." Harry said.

"My Gemmaline!"

They looked up and saw their mother walking down the stairs with Louis, Lucy and the babies. Anne quickly gave her grandson Adam to Lucy then rushed to hug his daughter. Louis carried Elizabeth in his arms, being careful and making sure Lucy was being careful too as they walked down the stairs. Louis started feeling nervous out of nowhere when he was about to meet his husband's sister for the very first time. He knew Harry had told her about him in the letters he had sent her, but it still scared him that she might not like him.

Now that all three of them were together, Louis could see the similarities between the three of them. They both looked like their mother. Louis smiled at the way Anne was holding her daughter then when she finally got to meet and hold her grandson who was only a few months older than his children.

"Gemma, Alexandre, this is Louis, my queen." Harry wrapped his arm around Louis' waist, bringing him closer to him and his sister. "Lou, this is my sister Gemma and her husband Alexandre." He introduced them, seeing Louis nodding once and shyly smiling at them.

"You are even more beautiful in person. Brother did not do you any justice when he described you in one of his letters." Gemma grabbed his hand. "May I?" She opened her arms, asking for a hug, and smiled when Louis hugged her.

"Gemma is right." Louis heard Alexandre say, seeing him squeezing Harry's shoulder.

Gemma let go then looked down at the baby Louis was holding, asking for permission to hold her. Louis nodded and gently placed his daughter in Gemma's arms then his son, knowing Gemma wasn't going to drop them. Louis could see how happy Anne was now that all her family was there, and smiled even brighter when Desmond joined them.

"Alexandre." Desmond greeted him then looked at his precious daughter and hugged her. "Darling, what a beautiful surprise." He hugged Gemma then kissed her cheeks.

"We wanted you and mother to meet our Noé. It is finally safe to travel long distances now that he is older." Gemma smiled when Desmond took his oldest grandson in his arms.

"We would have traveled sooner, darling, but we had quite a lot of things going on here." Des explained with a smile on his face. He looked at his newborn grandchildren with a proud smile, letting Harry and Louis know not to take it the wrong way.

"You must be tired!" Anne exclaimed. "Why don't you go rest for a few hours then we can have dinner together. It will give the cook's time to make a special dinner for tonight."

"Sounds lovely." Alexandre returned her smile then looked at Harry and Louis. "It was lovely to meet you, Louis. Harry." He smiled then grabbed his son from his grandfather's arms.

Gemma gave the newborns back to their parents then grabbed her mother's hand and let her walk with her to the bedroom Lucy had requested someone else to start getting ready. Harry looked down at his daughter then at Louis who was giving all his attention to their little Adam. Harry wanted to tell him how beautiful he looked with the rays of the sun caressing his hair, the strands changing to a lighter brown. He was just about to open his mouth, but his daughter's cries interrupted him.

"She probably needs to be changed." Louis said as he watched his husband trying to see if she smelled.

"I do not smell anything." Harry wrinkled his nose, holding the baby up to get another whiff.

"We have to go see." Louis chuckled at Harry's antics.

"After you, my love." Harry grinned, dimple and all.

Louis walked back to their bedroom, watching the way Harry was cooing at their daughter to get her to calm down. Harry was the best with their babies, having gotten used to fatherhood quite fast. Louis felt butterflies in his stomach every time he looked at Harry, and he felt so happy when Harry would give their babies all of his attention. It turns out Elizabeth was just fussy when the absorbing cloth covering her bottom was still dry. Louis felt bad for whoever had to wash them.

"We should probably pay more money to whoever washes their clothes." Louis suggested as Harry made his way to the bed to lay down with Elizabeth. The prince happily took his son and heir when Louis laid the baby down on top of his chest.

"I'll make sure she gets paid more, love." Harry kissed Elizabeth's little fist then the top of Adam's head. "Come lay with me. I haven't had the chance to hold you."

"You did this morning." Louis said, quickly making his way to his side of the bed. He picked up their daughter then laid down next to Harry, placing his head on the man's chest and making sure his daughter was comfortable on top of his chest.

"But I want to hold you longer." Harry said as he rubbed his son's back.

Louis looked up at him and kissed his jaw. "And I want you to hold me too. As long as you want."

"I will. Everyday for the rest of my life." Harry looked down at Louis, reaching to kiss his forehead.

Louis bit his bottom lip trying to suppress a smile, but he couldn't when Harry was looking at him that way he always did. It made Louis feel butterflies in his stomach and he didn't know what to do with himself, always ending up losing his train of thought. If Louis had to do everything all over again to end up here where he was, with the man he was in love and their children, he would do it all over again. He wouldn't hesitate.

"We should nap before dinner so we are well rested." Harry suggested, just as the babies started whimpering.

"Sounds good, but after I feed them." Louis sat up and started unbuttoning his shirt, knowing Harry was staring at him.

When he was ready, Harry helped him by placing the babies in his arms. They liked to eat at the same time and Louis was not going to deny them that. Louis looked down at them, smiling when Elizabeth opened her eyes only to close them seconds later. When they were done, they took a much needed nap, waking up just in time for dinner.

The next day the news had already spread all over London and nearby towns. The king would be hosting a banquet to celebrate the birth of his three grandchildren the next day. Then it would be followed by a celebration later that day where everybody in town was invited. During both events, the king would be introducing his children's spouses and then their children.

Soon the castle and the whole town had been decorated to celebrate the arrival of the new heirs. The market and many other businesses had closed for the day to give chance for the commoners to get ready for the celebration. They were wearing their best clothes and mothers tried to keep their children from dirtying them when the celebration hadn't even started yet.

That same day, Louis found himself dressed in his best clothes and sitting next to Harry at the long table filled with the finest people in England. Their meal consisted of roast lamb with roasted butternut squash and herby new potatoes. It was Louis' favorite meal so far. He could see many of the guests staring at him as he ate, but he could care less when he could do whatever he wanted. He was the soon to be queen. He could see many of the jealous faces glaring daggers at him whenever Harry would feed him and encourage him to eat whatever he wanted.

When Dinner was over, Des slowly sat up at the head of the table and started giving a speech. He then introduced Gemma and her husband Alexandre and finally their son Noé who Des was now holding. He was the proud grandfather of the future king of France.

When it was finally time to introduce Louis and their children, Harry stood up and helped Louis up as well. Louis held Elizabeth while Harry had Adam in his hold. Both parents looked proud of their little blessings and the guests had never seen multiples born in the royal family, which meant those children were destined for greatness.

"I would like to introduce the future king and queen of England, my son and heir Harry and his consort Louis." Des announced to his subjects with a smile on his face. "And their children. Our heir to the throne prince Adam Edward, and princess Anne Elizabeth Charlotte." Des proudly introduced them just like he had introduced Gemma's son.

The guests smiled and clapped, welcoming the new members of the family. After that was done, the celebration continued in the gardens of the castle where the town was celebrating. Harry and Louis stayed near the entrance, sitting in front of a table with their little ones in their arms. There was music playing and many people dancing in the middle of the garden. There were tables full of food and drinks for the guests as well as sweets especially made for the children. Louis still could not believe Des and Anne had done all of that to introduce his children.

"They love you and our children." Harry told him, moving his chair closer to Louis'. He could see the small smile forming on his lips when he knew no one had ever told him that except for him.

"I know they do, Harry." Louis told him, a warm smile on his face.

However, there was a part of him that was a bit sad. Harry always talked about how much the kingdom loved him and even his family, but Harry had never said the three words to him. Deep down it hurt Louis, though these feelings seemed silly in his head. Harry had shown him so much love over these past months that Louis shouldn't have a doubt in his mind. But there he was doubting him despite everything Harry had done for him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Harry noticed that his lovely husband was frowning and it worried him. "Louis, my darling. What is wrong? I thought that would make you happy knowing that everyone loves you and wants you as their queen."

"Of course it does." Louis was quick to take his hands and reassure him.

"Then why do you frown?" He asked, concern echoing in his deep voice.

"Because, I don't want to know if they love me or not, not when that is not important to me." Louis confessed, his voice soft and gentle but honest. Then he took a deep breath and looked directly into Harry's eyes, searching for the truth. "I want to know if you love me."

Harry was speechless. Even though he had not said the words, he had thought that he had made it overwhelmingly clear. He wrapped his arms around Louis and brought him even closer. Then he raised his right hand and stroked his queen's soft cheek. "Remember that day we posed for our first portrait together? When you were still pregnant with my heirs?" Harry asked him. "You looked so beautiful sitting there with sun shining perfectly on your face. Your eyes looked so blue that day and your hair looked like it was spun out of golden threads."

"I remember," Louis blushed. "You looked handsome too, my king."

"That was the day I realized that I was falling in love with you."

Louis' breath hitched and his heart soared.

"By the time you agreed to marry me, I knew that I had found the person that I wanted to rule over all of England with."

Harry tilted Louis head back, his lips brushing against his husbands. "I love you."

Louis felt like his face was on fire when he heard Harry said those words, words that had been longing to hear. He leaned forward and kissed Harry, locking their lips together, showing him how much he loved him.

Louis pulled away, wanting to voice how much he loved Harry too. "I love you too. Always and forever."

Harry smiled and hugged him tighter. 'Even after death. No matter how many lives we live after we go, it will always be you." He promised him, kissing him again when Louis' eyes shined with tears.

~*~

Gemma and her family ended up spending three weeks with them, something that made Harry happy when his whole family was together. As the days passed, he had started doing more duties after his father had let him know it was time to learn how to handle everything. Harry was next in line to the throne, and he needed to be well prepared to be worthy of the crown.

After they were over by noon, he would sit down with Louis and their children out in the garden to have their newest portrait done. Both he and Louis had let out a relieved sigh when the artist had finally announced that he was finished. A few days later, their portrait was hanging on the wall in the main hall, next to the many others of Harry's ancestors. They had on the biggest smiles, and they were brighter than the sun.

During August the days were hot and humid. Louis would spend them with their children outside, where he could be under the shade of the many trees they had. Sometimes a nice breeze would blow by to help cool them down, but it wasn't enough. It was hell for Harry when he had to dress properly to attend to his duties. He found himself walking down the long corridor in the stable looking for his horse. He was so hot that he hoped the horses were outside and not in the hell they called stable. He turned the corner and stopped in his tracks at the same time Zayn and Liam pulled away from each other as if they had been burned.

"Harry!" Zayn exclaimed as he fixed his clothes.

"Your majesty." Liam greeted him. His face was as red as a tomato and their hair was a mess.

"Call me Harry, Liam. No need for formalities." Harry smiled.

"Did you need something?" Zayn asked him.

"I do." Harry nodded. "Where is Niall? We have places to be and I need you three to accompany me."

"I'll look for him. He was with Lucy last time I saw him." Liam excused himself then walked out of there as fast as he could.

When he was gone, Harry stared at Zayn. He smirked when Zayn blushed when he had never seen the man do that in all the years he had known him.

"Are you happy?" Harry asked.

"What?" Zayn gave him a confused look.

"Does he make you happy?" Harry asked again.

"We have only been ... together for a few months." Zayn answered, then smiled when he started thinking about him. "But I am happy. He makes me happy."

"That's what matters." Harry squeezed his shoulder. "Lets go before it gets dark. Louis does not like it when I am out so late."

"How is he doing? The babies?" Zayn asked him.

"Doing wonderful like always. You should visit more often."

"I would, but I do not wish to intrude or interrupt." Zayn shrugged.

"Zayn." Harry stopped walking and looked at the man. "We grew up together, you and Niall are like my brothers. You are always welcome."

"I'll keep that in mind." Zayn nodded with a smile on his face.

Soon enough they were on their way to visit a town nearby, where there were many people in need of help and a lot more hoping their Prince would help them come to an agreement on issues they had. Their stop was Doncaster, a town that brought many memories to Harry. He was going to meet the Earl, the man who had stripped Louis off of everything that was his. He would never say he had also taken everything from their children when that was not true. His heirs had everything they needed and more, one day his little Adam would be crowned king. He would rule over all of England.

He was welcomed by a multitude of people showing him their respects and was given gifts. But even though they had made an effort to conceal their poor, those who needed help, Harry could still see through everything. When he finally met the new Earl and saw the smile on his face, he knew he would soon wipe it off completely.

"Your majesty." The Earl bowed down to him. "It's an honor to have you here."

"Thank you." Harry nodded once. "It's been quite a while since I was last here." He looked around, then started walking around and greeting people who would come to him.

"Shall we go inside?" The Earl interrupted him. "I understand the journey was long and you must be exhausted and hungry."

"We would like to rest before we eat." Harry told him.

The Earl nodded then ordered a few servants to carry Harry's things to a guest room. Harry made sure Liam, Zayn and Niall were close by. When he finally walked into the room that had been given to him he paused and looked around, then grinned when he realized it was Louis' bedroom. He looked around the room where he had impregnated Louis. It looked different now, but Harry did not mind.

He got a few hours of sleep before he absolutely had to attend dinner. It was nothing new nor exciting and he wanted to get it over with and go home the next day. He did not like traveling during the night and expose himself the way he used to before. When he got tired of being in bed, he got up and walked around the room then made his way to the window that faced the street.

The first thing he saw were the dirty streets, then the many people going on about their day. He would no longer flinch whenever he saw the homeless and thought to himself how there shouldn't be that many. Doncaster was not a poor town, and everybody should have a place to live. Harry made sure his father always remembered that. As Harry slowly took over, he always made sure to do everything possible so his people had jobs. So his people didn't suffer. He could see Liam walking down the street with Zayn, and a smile made his way to his lips when he saw him and Zayn helping them out as much as they could.

Later that day, as he cleaned himself up to attend dinner, Harry knew what he was going to do. He walked into the room with authority, even when he was only visiting. He looked around and smirked when he found the Earl sitting at the head of the table. As soon as the man saw him, he stood up and offered him the seat next to him. Harry thanked him and sat down to eat. They ate in silence until they were done, then Harry made sure to ask for a tour of the city.

"A tour, you say?" The Earl asked.

"Why not? I want to see how things are going here. It is my duty after all. To make sure everything is going well and if not, then it will help me look for a solution to the problem." Harry explained, arching an eyebrow when the Earl was about to protest.

They stared each other down until the Earl ws clearing his throat and looking away. "Very well, I'll have someone get the horses ready."

"Wonderful." Harry gave him a smile then drank the wine he had left in his wine glass. He licked his lips as he looked out the window, pretending he couldn't see the Earl glaring at him.

When the horses were ready they set out to look around town where the more poverty Harry saw, the more he was sure about his decision. He spent another two days in Doncaster, and the more he stayed the more he missed Louis and their children. On his last day there before he was due to leave, he delivered his final message. New changes were needed and new people were necessary.

Liam Payne was to be the new Earl of Doncaster per the king's orders. The reactions had been exactly what he thought they would be like. A hopeful one for the many who wanted a better life and outrage from the old Earl. It didn't take long for the man to completely lose it and charge at Harry with a dagger in his hand. The sharp end of it was inches away from Harry's chest, right above his heart when the older man stopped short. Harry laid on the ground panting as he tried to figure out what had just happened. When he finally did, the older man coughed out blood then fell next to Harry.

Harry stared at him as he fell, then looked up again to see Niall looking down at the man with wide eyes, holding a dagger in his hand. His hand started shaking then quickly dropped it on the ground and stumbled back.

"I did not– I..." He struggled to speak, looking at Harry with eyes full of fear.

"You've saved his life." Zayn was quick to grab him before he could take off. "You saved the prince's life." He repeated.

Harry got up and slowly made his way to Niall, and as soon as he was close enough he placed his hand on his shoulder and squeezed for comfort as he nodded. He would forever be grateful and would never forget it.

"Let's go home." Harry said then looked at Liam. "If you accept, you'll have to move back in a few days."

"It would be an honor." Liam bowed down. He then looked at Zayn with worried eyes, only to find the man he had come to deeply care about already looking at him with a smile on his face.

~*~

The door to the warm bedroom was slowly opened, revealing Louis asleep on the bed and his children asleep next to him. A smile made its way onto Harry's face at the sight in front of him. He slowly made his way to the babies and gently picked his son up placing him in his crib with a kiss to the forehead then did the same with his daughter. Once they were settled, he took his clothes off then washed himself, all without waking Louis up who was probably exhausted. When he was done, he climbed in bed with Louis and wrapped his arms around the smaller man, bringing him close to him. Louis continued sleeping, and soon Harry was in a deep sleep after the long way home back from Doncaster.

The following morning he felt drowsy and tried to move away from the harsh rays of the sun, getting comfortable when he could feel Louis next to him. He could feel him running his fingers through his hair then his gentle kisses along his jaw.

"You didn't wake me up." Louis murmured. "And no one told me you were coming back so late. I do not like when you travel at night. Makes me nervous."

Harry licked his lips and tried to open his eyes, but had to close them again when the light bothered him. Instead of answering he wrapped his arms around Louis' waist and brought him close to him. He didn't say anything when he knew Louis liked to welcome him home as soon as he walked through the door.

"You looked comfortable and I didn't have the heart to wake you up." Harry explained, not saying anything else when Louis stayed quiet. They looked each other in the eyes and Louis got comfortable next to Harry. Words weren't needed at all except for one little thing.

"I love you." Harry kissed the top of Louis' head, his lips lingering more than necessary.

"I love you too." Louis closed his eyes to continue sleeping, but it was impossible when the bedroom was too bright and the babies started crying.

Louis loudly sighed and got up to get them. He grabbed Adam first and set him on the bed, seeing Harry picking him up, then grabbed Elizabeth and made his way back to the bed. He let Harry help him so he could feed them, then sat comfortable on the bed with Harry laying next to him, his arm wrapped around his waist and his face buried on the space between Louis' back and the headboard. Adam kept unlatching and crying no matter how many times Louis would help him latch on again as he started getting worried.

"Is something wrong?" Harry asked and seconds later sat up.

"He is just having a little trouble eating. She was doing the same yesterday but she is fine now." Louis told him.

"I can get the doctor if you want." Harry suggested.

"There is no need for that, Harry." Louis told him as he kept his eyes on his son.

"Fine. I won't have anyone bring him over." Harry said, then started biting on his bottom lip wondering if it was the right time to tell Louis what his father had told him a while back, then decided it was best to do it now when the date was getting closer. "Father wants us to be crowned soon. He said he's getting old and tired and would like to spend the rest of his days with mother."

Louis looked at him with a small smile on his face. "If that's what he wants. And we know your father will live a long life." He said, looking down when Elizabeth stopped eating to sneeze then continued eating without a care in the world.

"I hope so, love." Harry said, reaching out to place his hand on Louis' cheek, feeling the soft skin on his fingertips.

~*~

The big day finally happened a month after that morning. Harry was in his best attire and wearing his coronation robe, looking like a proper king. Louis sat beside him dressed up to the royal's standards, looking like a proper queen to be. He had told himself many times that he was ready to rule over England along Harry, but the truth was that he was not ready at all. He had not been born a royal, and he had not received the training that he knew Harry had received and that soon their children would too. All his life he had been told that as a the bearer of the mark, his only role in life was to please and listen to his husband as well as birth his babies.

He had always been told that he was not worth a thing, that he was only there as if he was one more piece of furniture. Going from being told that every day of his life to being told that he is important and worth it, that he was capable of anything he wanted was overwhelming for him. Harry made him feel loved and important, like everything was good in the world. Harry made him feel human.

He looked at Harry whose hair was being combed back, making him smile when his stubborn curls kept escaping no matter how hard the man tried to tame them. He ended up leaving it alone and down, letting it curl around Harry's shoulders. When he finally left them alone, Louis got up from his seat and slowly made his way to stand next to Harry and stood behind him, placing his hands on Harry's shoulders. Their babies were with Lucy and Edith so they were not worried about them.

"You look very handsome, love." Louis kissed the top of Harry's head, smiling when Harry grabbed his hands in his then kissed them each twice.

"And you look gorgeous. You always do, and today more than ever." Harry turned around to look at him. He started leaning down to kiss him, only getting to peck his lips before they were interrupted by Zayn who had traveled all the way from Doncaster with Liam to watch the coronation.

They followed him to the coronation room still holding hands and never letting go. When they got there, Des and Anne were standing their respective thrones and an assistant of the court showed the future king and queen to their respective places. The Archbishop of Canterbury started the ceremony right away after the congregation had accepted Harry as their new monarch, he then started saying a few prayers for the soon to be former monarchs of England and a few others for the new ones. He wished them a long, healthy and successful life and monarchy.

Louis' hands were starting to shake as soon as Des and Anne walked away from the thrones and he and Harry were motioned to get closer. It calmed him down when Harry never let go of his hand, even when they were standing in front of the congregation and the coronation chair for Harry.

"Harry Edward Styles." The Archbishop started. "Do you swear to maintain and preserve the doctrine, worship, discipline, and the Government of Great Britain...according to its respectives laws and customs."

"I swear to maintain and preserve the doctrine, worship, discipline, and the Government of Great Britain..." Harry repeated as the Archbishop anointed him with holy oil as the choir sang the coronation anthem Zadok the Priest . "...according to its respectives laws and customs." Harry finished, taking a seat in the coronation chair and Louis stood next to him.

As Harry sat in the coronation chair, the Archbishop presented him with the Regalia: the Orb, the Sceptre that symbolizes power, the rod with the Dove symbolising justice and mercy and finally the Coronation Ring. The moment was ethereal when the Archbishop placed St Edward's crown on Harry's head, hearing the congregation acclaimed him with loud and repeated shouts. Harry watched with a proud smile as the Archbishop anointed Louis with holy oil, gave Louis the Consorts Ring then a crown specifically made for him was placed on his head. Harry had ordered it to be specifically made of gold and blue topaz stones.

Louis looked beautiful and worthy of being a queen, worthy of ruling England with him.

When Louis' coronation was over, Harry grabbed his hand and together left the Coronation Chair and moved to the throne, in full sight of the whole congregation and sat in it, taking possession of the kingdom. Louis sitting next to him in his own chair.

The Archbishop gave his blessing then Harry and Louis withdrew to St Edward's chapel. There he put on a robe of purple velvet and exchanged St Edward's Crown for the Imperial State Crown before finally processing through the Abbey to the annexe at the west end. The four and a half mile return to the castle was a chance for the crowds to get the best possible chance to see their new King and Queen Consort.

When they were back, Harry was given his son to hold and Louis was given their daughter. They once again took a seat in their thrones, greeting people who would get close to give them gifts and their blessings. By the end of the day, after the biggest celebration, they were finally allowed to retire to their bedroom. Their children were being taken care of by trusted people, giving Harry and Louis the chance to be alone. Louis had made sure to feed them first and bathe them with Harry's help. Lucy and Edith had a place to sleep in the babies nursery whenever they were required to take care of the children, and it made Louis feel better knowing they were close by.

As soon as they were finally alone, Harry stared at Louis who was no longer wearing his crown. If he could, he would have Louis wearing it every day, just so his eyes would shine in contrast with the blue topaz decorating the crown. The blue topaz stones were a pretty blue color, but Louis' eyes were bluer and prettier, like sapphire. He wanted to look at them for the rest of his life, and it was exactly what he was going to do.

"What are you thinking?" Louis cut through his thoughts. He was standing right in front of Harry, just watching the man who had been deep in thought.

"You." Harry answered easily and slowly started getting closer to Louis.

A long time ago, Louis would have backed away in fear at the sight of a man approaching him. Even more when it was only them in the privacy of their bedroom. But now it wasn't like that anymore. Now he took a few steps forward and met Harry halfway, letting the man wrap his arms around his waist.

"I remember when I first saw you." Harry smiled against his neck, kissing the sweet skin as he spoke to him, his words genuine and soft. Louis leaned into the touch, always craving more. "Even then I thought you were the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. And every morning, I wake up and feel like I'm still dreaming." The king complimented him, both ignoring the fact that the first time they had met, Louis had threatened him.

Louis blushed. "Stop Harry, your words are too much, too flattering for a boy like me." He whispered shyly.

"A boy like you?" His husband questioned him. "Louis, you are my queen. You are everything to me. If you do not believe me, let me show you." Harry slowly guided him to the large bed, laying his body down on the feather-filled mattress. "All queens deserve the royal treatment," He told him as he gently undressed him, taking off the expensive clothing and kissing the exposed skin. Harry gave special attention to his stomach, making sure to worship even the scarred skin that had protected his twins while they were inside of him.

When Harry got to his member he kissed the tip and then trailed kisses down the side, loving how his lover released soft moans and shivered under his affection. Harry kept kissing until he reached Louis' bum. He kissed each cheek and then spread them to peck his fluttering hole. But when he stopped to grab the oil, Louis spoke up.

"No. Harry." Louis suddenly grabbed his wrist and brought it back to rest on his hip.

"What is it? Have I done something?"

"No! I just... I just do not want you to stop. I really love it when you kiss me there." Louis turned bright red at his confession.

"Don't worry my lovely Lou, I just wanted to get some oil. I do not want to hurt you." Harry poured some oil on his fingers and then swirled them around his lover's hole. He pressed his index finger in, gently massaging Louis' walls until he fit that spot inside of him that had the queen crying out. Harry leaned down and added another finger along with his tongue. He sucked on the rim as he curled his fingers making sure to hit Louis' bundle of nerves every time, his screams getting louder and louder. With his other hand, Harry alternated between pumping Louis' cock and fondling his balls.

"Oh, Harry. Feels so good my king. But I–" Louis let out a loud moan as he arched his back, "I want you inside of me. I want to come on your cock."

"I would like that too," Harry smirked and then removed his fingers and tongue from his hole. He undressed and then climbed on top of him, draping himself over his lover's tiny body. He lined his dick up with Louis' loose entrance. Harry felt Louis wrap his arms around him as he entered his tight heat, shivering from the feeling.

"Louis, you feel so good darling." Harry told him as he pounded into him, then he kissed his lips, enjoying their sweet taste.

Louis ran his fingernails down Harry's back, crying out when Harry changed the angle and went faster, continuously hitting that special spot inside of him. "I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you," Louis chanted overwhelmed by the glorious feeling. He never wanted it to stop.

"I love you so much too, darling." Harry told him as he softly stroked his hair. "Now come for me, sweetheart. Come for your king." Not even a moment later, Louis released his seed onto his tummy, painting it white. Harry followed him soon after burying his head in his lover's neck crying out as he did. Louis smiled at his husbands blissful expression when he as finished, only waiting a few seconds before Harry pulled out and then laid beside him.

Louis quickly scooted closer to him and laid his head on his husband's chest at the same time Harry reached for something. He showed the small black velvet box to Louis before telling him to take it. He watched Louis open it and studied his reaction. He knew he had liked it when his blue eyes shined and he hurried to take the gold pendant out of the box.

"I love doves." Louis murmured as he traced his finger over the small gold doves.

They were two small doves joined together by their beaks, as if they were kissing. One of their legs were joined together by their breasts and the other one stretched below them as if they were holding hands. Each Dove had a stone on their breast; blue and purple.

"I wanted mine to be green, but I was going with birthstones and it turns out mine is amethyst." Harry explained. "You are lucky to have gotten blue topaz." He teased.

"It's beautiful. Thank you, Harry." Louis gave him a kiss then gave Harry the pendant. "Can you put it on for me?" He asked.

Of course, love." Harry smiled, and while he put it on, he asked him a question. "Do you know what doves symbolize?"

"I know they symbolize peace and love." Louis answered.

"They do." Harry nodded. "They also symbolize purity and freedom."

"Freedom..." Louis trailed off as he held hands with Harry and looked down at his pendant.

"We will always have that." Harry lifted his hands and kissed them. He looked into Louis' blue eyes with his green ones and spoke the words he had always wanted to say. "We will always have love, peace, purity and freedom. We are equals, and we are free."

Louis thought he wouldn't ever hear those words, much less believe them if he ever did. But looking into Harry's eyes made them real.

He believed them.

Thoughts? :)

I will post the Epilogue as soon as I finish it. *For the coronation part, I googled how it was done then tried to keep it as close as I could. I hope it wasn't disappointing.*
