**3 years later**
One of the days that Prince Leonard dreaded the most finally arrived. After trying to put it off and holding the fort for a bit more than 3 years, it seems that he could no longer have his way regarding the matter.
"I don’t want to be king," Prince Leonard muttered darkly.
"I guess there’s nothing that you can do about that," I replied before grinning at him. I had always known that the prince did not want to beco the next king. However, as fate would have it, he was not only the first prince to produce an ultimate alpha son, but he was the only one.
We found out that the doctor was right about my body being able to accommodate the growth and transition of our baby to full-term. That did not an that the pregnancy journey was easy for . In fact, I truly kept everyone excited and on edge right up until the birth of our child. Thankfully, Prince Leonard was adamant in ignoring all past customs that were in support of natural delivery for the sake of both my safety as well that of our child. Based on the doctor’s recomndation, we decided that it would be better for the baby to be born via a C-section rather than through natural birth. The main reason being the size of the baby and also the fact that we could not anticipate what form the baby would be born in. That might not have been an issue had the baby maintained his human form at the ti of his birth; however, there was always the risk that the baby might be in his wolf form or may undergo a transformation during delivery. If that were to happen, there would be a high-risk that I’m going to be able to deliver naturally.
Sotis I felt like I wanted to have a brave mont to say that I made it through all the pain of labor; however, I was numb from the waist down when it happened. Despite my fears going into the process, everything went as smoothly as could be and my baby was born yelling at the top of his lungs. I can still rember the tears that welled up in my eyes the mont that the doctor placed my son into my arms for the very first ti. Prince Leonard kissed the top of my head before he whispered in my ear.
“I love you, Mila. Thank you for making a father," the prince whispered sweetly into my ear before placing a kiss on my cheek.
It was so very hard for to believe that that magical mont happened more than three years ago. Thankfully, our son was born healthy and without any complications. I was too busy taking care of our son and also recovering from my surgery to fully comprehend the implication related to my son’s birth. I was told later on that the entire kingdom was overjoyed by the news when it was finally revealed to the public by the official representatives of the palace. Prince Leonard couldn’t have cared any less about such things because his attention was wholly absorbed by the newly born prince. We spent all the ti that we could together for an entire week at the hospital before moving back to his palace.
"We really need to co up with a na for him. I actually find it strange that he’d been naless for the past three days already," Prince Leonard said before letting out a little chuckle.
We were supposed to have a na for the baby ready before he was born, but we were so indecisive regarding the matter that we never finalized the na for our baby. At first, I thought that I had a few reasonably decent options for his na, but then I thought that none of the nas that we had prepared felt right for the baby whenever I looked at his face.
"I have to say this is much harder than I thought it would be," I admitted before pulling the face teasingly.
"You might not like it, but my father suggested a na," the prince said while sounding slightly hesitant.
My eyes widened slightly in surprise when I heard that the king had suggested a na for our baby. The king ca to visit in the hospital a couple of tis during the first week after our baby’s birth, but he seed to want to give us more private ti and distance after we moved back to Prince Leonard’s palace. Anyhow, I was surprised that the king had a na in mind and I couldn’t wait to hear it.
"What na did he co up with?" I asked excitedly.
"My father thought that the na Logan might be good," the prince replied before pressing his lips into a thin line. For so reason, I could feel that Prince Leonard liked the na and that he was hoping that he would get my approval on it. Even more surprisingly, I felt like the na was perfect for our son.
"I think that the na Logan sounds perfect. I have a feeling like he’s going to like it as well," I said as my gaze shifted to our baby’s sleeping face.
"I really hope that is the case. What do you say?" the prince asked for my permission.
"I like it. Let’s na our son Logan," I replied without any hesitation. Just like that, we finally decided on our baby’s na.
It felt like taking a very big step forward into formalizing our baby’s place in our family. Back then, we both had no idea just how complicated it was going to be for us to raise baby Logan.
"Don’t you have anything else that you want to say?" the prince asked with a hint of impatience in his tone.
His words helped snap back from my thoughts before I quickly offered him a comforting smile. It was unfortunate that Prince Leonard needed to beco the next king, but at that ti I honestly didn’t think that it was the worst possible outco in the world.
