Update 46

Harmony decided to put her worries about an heir behind her, and stop stuffing her face with sweets. She felt she needed a makeover. If she never had an heir, she wanted to at least look great as queen.

"You look awesome Harmony." Urban said as he kissed her. They soon found their way to the closet.

A few days later, Harmony took a pregnancy test. But she was not pregnant.

"Come here honey. It'll be okay, we'll try again." Urban snuggles Harmony.

"I know. I was just hoping it would be sooner rather than later."

"Me too, but we can't rush things."

Later that week, little Iris aged up into a child. While she wasn't the heir Urban desired, he loved her just as much as he loved Xena. Iris and Xena got along just fine now that they were both children, and both daddy's girls.

Meanwhile, Urban kept busy with the Council. However, tensions were growing between kingdoms. The amazons were hoping to expand their claim and Etta Shallot was hoping to make Windenburg the dominate reigning country.

"You better hope you have an heir eventually Urban, or else Windenburg will be their to take over." Etta smirked.

"I don't know how that would happen. The people wouldn't take any merger of our kingdoms without a marriage. You have no sons." Urban replied.

"Yes, but at least my daughters are my heirs."

"Urban." Harmony sat him down on evening, "I know things with the council have been pretty tiring for you, but I've got some great news. We're pregnant!"

"That's great news, just what I needed to hear today. Boy, I don't know how my father handled that Council."

"Maybe take some time off and ask him. I visited him and Blake today to tell them the big news. They're getting pretty old, but that just means they've got great advice." Harmony smiled.

Urban hoped the next child would be his heir. Meanwhile, Harmony decided to focus on her daughters. She made sure they were educated in both the Tudor kingdom and her tribe.

"Field trip girls! Today we're visiting my home. The Forrest Tribe."

"Fine daughters you've had Harmony." Creator Victoria said, "You are all welcomed anytime."

"Mom, can I be creator when I grow up?" Xena asked. The room chuckled at this, although Xena didn't get what was so funny. Harmony explained that being Creator was a tribe thing, but maybe she could be queen.

Finally it was Xena's birthday. Urban through a big party. Harley baked a nice cake. Xena aged up into a teen. Urban gave her a necklace.

"For you Xena. I had it specially made."

"Thanks dad."

"I want one too!" Iris begged.

"Okay, on your net birthday." Urban promised.

Everything was going well. The food was great, the cake was sliced and Harmony went into labor!

(Xena)

Would this be the birth of an heir?

Update 45

Using his influence, Urban convinced the Council to let Harley's sister, Mae, join. She would be a financial advisor.

"As your advisor, I must say, it would be in the interest of any of the Council members to stay closely connected to the Whitfield family. They are very wealthy, which would be good for any kingdom. Plus, Clint has a son." Mae told Urban.

"Yes, I have been meeting with Clint. His son, Hans, is a little older than my Xena."

"I hear Etta Shallot is looking at a possible engagement between his son and her eldest daughter."

"Oh. Well, that happens when you have a daughter as heir; arranged marriages are common. I'm not worried, my son will be my heir."

One evening when Urban returned home, he and Harmony decided to watch some TV.

"Urban. Guess what."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant!"

"Great! Maybe we will soon have an heir."

Harmony smiled and shrugged.

"So Xena, excited for your new little brother or sister?" Harley asked.

"I guess. So long as daddy still plays llama with me. And watches tv with me, and take selfies. I hope it is a boy. Then I'll be daddy's only princess."

The whole kingdom was anxiously waiting. Harmony spent her time eating her favorite sweets that Harley baked. Amos visited to encourage Urban. Almond also visited to encourage her sister.

"I know Urban's hoping for a boy, but if the Creator's got anything to do with it, I'd bet you'll have many daughters." Almond smiled.

"We can only wait and see. While I'll love all my kids, I don't think Urban could handle all daughters." Harmony joked.

Finally the day came. Sticking with both their traditions, Urban and Harmony decided on another home birth. After a short while, Princess Iris was born.

"Urban, you haven't said anything." Harmony said after a while. Urban didn't respond, and Harmony didn't push it.

Xena was a little disappointed she didn't have a brother. She started to act out at school. One day, her and another boy decided to skip school and hangout. She secretly hoped this would get her parents attention. After Iris was born, she felt they both were to preoccupied.

Both Harmony and Urban were preoccupied thinking about the future.

"It's only your second child Urban. You have time to have an heir." Mae said.

"I know, but still."

Urban was still worried, so he even visited his mother at the moestary.

"Urban, give it time, you will have a son." Tricia tried to reassure her son.

Harmony was worried as well. She comforted herself with yummy treats and visiting with Blake and Almond.

"To bad you aren't back home Harmony. You'd be praise for your daughters." Almond smiled.

"But what if I never have daughters. Urban said he wouldn't leave me because of them, but if we never have an heir, he will be forced to."

"If you two never have a son, then maybe Urban will just have to let the kingdom go to your daughters, hmm?" Blake suggested, "Of course, it's not tradition."

Still wondering and worrying, Urban and Harmony decided to try again for an heir.

Would a son finally be born?
