Beck is newly king and Coraline is his wife who came from a poor family. Their story is called "Cavansite".

Beck holds his lover's hand gently as they walk through the royal gardens. He smiles, knowing that she was happy being back where they had met, even though she wasn't smiling. He then frowns and looks at her.
"Coraline... are you happy?" He asks. He stops walking and holds onto both her lacy gloved hands, which he didn't like much but he wouldn't complain.
Coraline tilts her head a little in confusion as she looks at him. "Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"
"You just seem… different... unhappy… troubled-"
"I am not troubled nor unhappy. Just… just, let's keep walking. I'm enjoying being outside the castle."
No smile. Not even a small one. She had changed since they had married and that bothered him so.
He nods lightly with a small sigh. "Alright, let's carry on then…"
They continue to walk on the garden's path. He couldn't stop thinking about how much more lively she was before they married, he feels like he had taken away her right to be her.
"Love?" He says quietly as they walk.
"Yes?"
"Are… are you happy in the castle? With me…?"
"Of course I am."
"It doesn't seem like you are. I haven't seen you smile in months. Nor have I seen you eat nothing."
Her face becomes flushed. "I apologize... I know I haven't been myself recently…" She looks down sadly.
He looks at her. "You don't have to apologize, Love. I understand. I had changed went I was publicly crowned Prince. Father didn't think I was going to be fit to rule one day but, again I had changed back to myself. I-" He looks back at the path when she cuts him off.
"Beck. I have a question for you…"
"Oh, um… what's the question?"
"…have you wanted to… become a father?"
He stops walking and so does she. He stares at her in disbelief and confusion. "Caroline-"
"No. Don't ask. I was just… wondering?"
"I am going to ask. Is that why you have been eating more lately? Are you…?"
She looks at the dirt path below them. Her hands gripping onto her blue-violet dress. "The doctor heard a heartbeat." Her voice was quiet. "I didn't know how to tell you, Love, I am truely sorry for not hinting at it before…"
He thinks about it for a moment but then smiles. He lifts her head up for her to look at him and he puts his hand on her cheek, a single tear moving itself down her face and into his hand. "No need to apologize. I understand why you didn't know how to tell me. I am glad it is you who is carrying my child and not Sophia."
She gives him a small smile and puts her hand on top his, nuzzling her cheek against his palm gently. "My King." She says lovingly.
"My Queen." He responds happily. "May I have a kiss?"
"I wouldn't say no."
And with that, they kiss in the gardens.
