The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!

Indira had always known that her and Nicholas were perfect for each other but this moment was one of those special moments that further confirmed that. How blessed she was that her husband was this overjoyed for the family they were creating together. She cried too, pretty tears staining her cheeks as they held to each other. Her fingers held his face as he pulled back, eyes full of love and joy.
"My Nicholas, I love you too, so much. I just know you're going to be such a wonderful father," she said, placing one hand on her still flat belly. "Our life couldn't be better and I'm so blessed to get to share it with you, my one and only, my love," she told him, her heart bursting with emotion and love and gratitude.
She leaned in to press a tender kiss to each of his wet cheeks, his forehead, and then his lips. She crawled into his lap then, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face into the crook of his shoulder. She just couldn't get enough of him.

Normally he wasn't a big fan of PDA, because he worried what people would think about two adults acting like lovestruck teenagers, but when Indira sat on his lap, he didn't even think of that. This was different. They were going to be parents. His face was glowing where she had kissed him, as if she had truly blessed him with those kisses. Nick gently stroked her hair and the back of her head while her face was buried in the crook his shoulder. He would sit like that for a while, cherishing the moment and the feeling. Eventually he would speak again. "Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?" he asked. Secretly, he was hoping for a girl, but he would never voice that if Indira was to say she wanted a boy. He didn't really have a preference, but a girl with a powerful mother-witch would be wonderful.

Indira's family favored girls and their witch magic so it was natural that she should want a girl. Though she had to admit that it would also be so adorable to see a little mini Nicholas waddling around. She smiled thoughtfully at the question as she continued to sit comfortably in his lap. "I'm torn," she admitted. "A girl seems fitting, she'd certainly be adored by all, but a boy that looked like you?" she grinned. "That would be pretty amazing too." She sighed before pursing her lips slightly and whispered. "I just hope it's healthy and strong." She wasn't sure how well she'd handle a sickly child.
"Do you have a preference?" she asked, her smile returning as she looked him in those loving eyes.

Nicholas softly caressed Indira's arm while listening to her talk. "A boy that looks like me? I sure hope he won't come out with hair as gray as mine." He chuckled and shook his head, moving his hand up to her face to stroke her cheek. "We'll make sure the baby is healthy. We'll get you all the best care and doctors." He would kiss her again, then listen to her question.
"Hmm", he mused. "I would be over the moon whatever the gender is. And if it's a girl, we can try for a boy again after, and vise versa. If you want another baby, of course, but I'm getting ahead of myself here."
