Kingly Thoughts

The King of Mewni sat in his favorite chair and rested his head on his right hand, watching his wife holding his daughter. The royal family were privately resting in their daughter's nursery after a long day. The extravagant room was filled with brightly colored walls and toys for the young princess. Moon held their precious three-year-old in her arms while she sat in a luxurious rocking chair. Her hair was released from their restraints, pooling around her shoulders like a veil. Moon was in the process of rocking Star to sleep while humming Mewman lullabies quietly, focused on the little bundle. The day was slowly beginning to end as the sun began to set outside and birds quickly passed the large windows. Within a few moments, the first few dying golden rays filled the nursery and gently graced Moon and Star with its divine touch.

What a glorious sight to behold, thought River. A radiantly beautiful woman holding her lovely child. Moon looks like a serene goddess caressing a baby angel. He sighed loudly, a content smile on his face.

The rays gave a soft glow to Moon's hair and formed a slight halo around Star's head. Moon looked at Star with so much love and affection, River frowned in disdain because he couldn't capture the moment. The sleepy queen looked over at her husband, wondering what was making him sigh so loudly.

"River, darling", said Moon softly, "you've been awfully quiet. Is something the matter?" Moon's face was filled with worry as she waited for a response. Even when she showed concern, River couldn't help but find his wife as lovely as the day they first met. His smile grew as he straightened up, popping his back in the process.

"No, my dear, I couldn't ask for a more loving wife or perfect daughter. I simply wish this moment could continue for an eternity." Carefully, River made his way to hug Moon and Star. She leaned into his embrace and shifted her arm behind her daughter's head.

"Oh, sweetie, I know just what you mean but there will be other moments that fill the void." River leaned his head against his wife's, staring down at his sleeping daughter.

"I love you, my little Starlight." He turned his face to look at Moon. "And I love you, my wonderful queen." As the last of the rays began to fade into the night sky, he lovingly kissed his wife.

Author's Note: The following chapters are much longer. This was the very first fanfic I had ever written, and that's why it's so short. Later, there's one that's almost 2,700 words, so I've improved significantly. Hope you enjoyed!
