Tumblr Crushes:
((well, this is awkward. lol. IT’S CAUSE I LIKE ALL YOUR POSTS FROLLO. WE NEED TO FIX THIS SO NAVEEN IS NUMBER ONE LOL))
Tiana heaved once again into the bowl of the toilet. The excitement of being pregnant and having a baby quickly left whenever she got her morning sickness, which was usually in the afternoons. Why they call it morning sickness is beyond me, she thought, her stomach gurgling, still unsettled.
Being around all that food at her restaurant was causing her to become more nauseous than she realized. Lately her senses had really kicked in, especially smell, and all those spices… she groaned as another wave of nausea hit her. Luckily Tiana had decided to take a break and head home for the afternoon, to clear her mind, and her stomach, in peace.
Tiana was busy putting the finishing touches on the dinning room. Everything had to be perfect for tonight; her Daddy was coming over and he was finally going to meet Naveen. She had some jambalaya simmering on the stove and was just finishing up lighting the candles she had set on the table. “Naveen, are you almost ready?” she called to him, turning the corner, looking for her husband. “Daddy’s gonna be here any second, and oop! Haha, sorry.” Tiana laughed as they lightly collided into each other around the corner.
She straightened his tie and stood on her tiptoes to give him a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t be nervous now. You’ll do fine. Just be yourself, and Daddy will love you.”
((also not sure …. do we need to tell him about the pregnancy? :/ lol))
Tiana’s Palace was filled with people, music and laughter. Tonight, Tiana had decided to throw a party to celebrate Naveen, and her Daddy’s homecoming, and what better place to hold such a celebration than her restaurant? Tiana had made sure to cook up all the traditional New Orleans food for the feast, even those reserved for certain times of the year. Tiana smiled to herself a little. She had done that, partially, so she would have an excuse to make King Cake. And King Cake, she had decided long ago, was the perfect way to… well… it just seemed perfect.
The cake is prepared between Twelfth Night (January 6th) and Ash Wednesday. A tiny china baby doll is baked into it and the person who gets the slice containing the doll is king or queen for a week and must also provide a new King cake to be served at the weeks end. And so every week brings a new cake and a new king or queen.
Tiana smiled to herself surveying all the people dancing to the music, and eating her food in the restaurant. Only she knew about her… condition? That certainly wasn’t the right word to express how happy she was that she was with child. Naveen’s child. A new life was growing inside her, and soon she would be able to carry that life in her arms.
She spotted Naveen coming off the stage after the band finished their set, it looked like they were going to take a break. Now was the perfect time. Tiana cut up a slice of the King Cake, and shepherded Naveen off into a quiet corner, far from prying eyes.
“Hi honey,” she smiled up at him, so handsome in his tuxedo. “You having a good time?” Tiana handed him the plate with the cake on it. “I thought you might like to have some… some cake,” she stuttered a little, starting to feel nervous about his reaction to the news.
“Naveen! Naveen! Guess what!” Tiana was jumping with excitement. “But you’ll never guess, so I’ll just tell you. My Daddy’s back! He’s alive!”
Dear Naveen,
You’ve only just left, but I miss you so much already. Everyone here sends their love. I’m doing fine, and I don’t want you to worry about me.
Thomas told me that Rapunzel is expecting! Twins! Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday they were married, and now here they are starting a family. I’ve offered to babysit for them once they get here, and to help with the birth if I can. Did you know that I used to help the midwives in our neighborhood? I know quite a lot about birthing babies, so they are in good hands.
Not much else is going on. Tiana’s Palace seems empty without our resident ukulele player, and home is quieter than I ever remember it being.
I miss you, I love you, and I’m so proud of you.
Yours,
Tiana
Tiana lay awake in bed as Naveen softly snored next to her, his arm lazily draped over her side. She had woken a few hours ago, unable to fall back asleep, her mind whirling at the thought of what the next few hours would bring. He was leaving today. And he might never come home. Tiana shook those thoughts away. It wouldn’t do to think like that. It did no one any good.
The sun was beginning to rise outside. Usually welcome after the dark night, but today the sun seemed anything but cheerful and warm. Tiana sighed, and carefully got out of bed. This might be the last good night sleep Naveen had in a long time, she didn’t want to disturb him.
Grabbing her robe and putting her slippers on, Tiana headed downstairs to make breakfast. She would make beignets, his favorite.
