I came to this site almost 2 months ago not sure what fanfiction was. I was captivated by the stories, and the freedom to express our ideas and fantasies about our favorite shows/characters. (Jaspenor, duh!) Getting back into writing has been amazing and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I never thought this story would get such a reaction, and I wanted to thank everyone for their support throughout this journey. I will be focusing on my other fanfic from here and I look forward to reading everyone else's stories on our favorite couple! Happy reading.

-Note: I don't know how the monarchy fully works. I'm American and it all fascinates me, yet confuses the hell out of me.. anyway, some of the content may not be accurate. ;)

5 Years Later

The alarm clock went off. It was 5 A.M. Jasper rolled over and slammed it off letting out a grunt. He hadn't been up this early in a long time.

"The day's finally come, baby." He kissed his wife on the cheek. She rubbed her eyes before letting out a drawn out yawn.

"Wake up Kami," Eleanor whispered kissing her daughter on the forehead. "It's time to get ready for school." It was their daughter's first day of Kindergarten. Jasper walked from behind and swooped his little girl up from her bed.

"But I'm scared daddy." Her large turquoise eyes left her father powerless. She had the ability to command all of his attention with just one look. Just like her mother did.

"It's okay sweet heart. You're going to do great," he softly spoke setting her down on her feet. Eleanor walked across her bedroom shifting through her dresser. She chose a miniature pink dress and tiny black shoes. She had grown more fond of colors since becoming a mother.

After helping her get dressed Eleanor took her to the bathroom. She brushed her pin straight brunette hair and swept her bangs out of her eyes. She then placed a pink bow into her hair at Kami's request. Jasper was making all of them breakfast. He made Kami her favorite breakfast; sunny side up eggs with toast.

They sat down in their kitchen at the circular dining table. Kami swung her legs under her seat waiting for her dad to bring the food over.

"Remember, you have to finish all of your breakfast," Eleanor nodded her head as Jasper set three plates down.

"Why?"

"To grow big and strong like your daddy," Jasper interjected. Eleanor rolled her eyes.

He had grown a 'dad beard' over the years which she was conflicted whether she liked or not. He looked sexy regardless, but she still hadn't gotten used to him with a goatee.

Eleanor's appearance had changed dramatically herself since they left the palace. She cut her hair so it reached her shoulders and now had side bangs. Her makeup routine would usually consist of a few coats of mascara and maybe a bit of eyeliner if she was in the mood. Eye shadow and lipstick were only used for important events.

Her attire had changed as well. She still held her commitment to black garments, but wore much simpler outfits. Most days she would wear a tank top or shirt, with a pair of jeans. Nothing too over the top. She saved wearing dresses, and glittery ones at that, only if they were attending something back at the palace for her family.

A lot had changed within the last five years. Once Liam and Willow got married, they planned to have a child themselves. Willow gave birth to a beautiful baby boy three years ago. They named him Robert. Prince Robert Simon Henstridge.

Whenever Jasper and Eleanor would visit the palace, they would show Kami her the old nursery and remind her of certain memories. Robert absolutely loved Kami and they got along famously. It reminded Eleanor of herself and her twin.

Eleanor made the decision shortly after giving birth to Kami that she eventually wanted to move out of the palace and give their child a different life than she had. A normal life. A life without constant scrutiny and scandal. They moved as close as possible to the palace when she turned 2. Helena wouldn't let them move any further.

She was a phenomenal grandmother to both of her grandchildren. It gave her the second chance to be the best motherly figure to her abilities that she always had deep down. She and Allister married about four years ago, and Eleanor was extremely fond of her step father. He was the perfect man for her mother. He looked after, protected her, and deeply loved her for who she was and not her titles. He reminded her of Jasper to a tee.

Knowing that her brother and sister-in-law were having a son, Eleanor wasn't in line to the throne anyway. This helped her slight level of guilt of leaving her life at the palace behind.

She now had her own family. An amazing, loving, protective husband with whom she had the most active sex life parents could possibly have. And then she had her perfect little girl. They were all she needed.

Nina was now 13 years old and James had made enough money at the palace to buy a small house for the two of them after retiring. He had also met a lovely woman who he had been seeing now for two years. Eleanor approved of her as Nina's potential step mother one day. James and his girlfriend would bring his daughter over once a week to play with Kami. Nina took on the big sister role and would watch her every move. Eleanor was forever grateful for not only James, but for her daughter. She didn't know where she would be at this point in time if she had never met the two of them.

Jasper came clean to Eleanor about his parents blackmailing him. He couldn't hold it any longer from her. He wasn't sure what they were capable of and he wanted to make sure she was in the know. Luckily for the both of them, his parents didn't turn out to be as cold hearted as he assumed them to be. They too wanted a second chance, and simply wanted to be a part of their son and his family's life. Their empty threats were just an attempt to get a way back in. They still lived in the U.S., but Jasper took his girls to visit them twice.

Liam gave the nation hope again. He was the King that the people had yearned for, ever since Simon passed. He was a spitting image of his father. Humble, caring, and selfless. Willow made a wonderful Queen herself, mirroring her husband's qualities.

The Henstridge/Frost/Lacey families were finally at peace. And truly happy.

"I promised myself I wasn't going to cry," Jasper choked over his words watching his little girl walk away from them with her pink back pack covered in cartoon puppies. She entered the classroom with the help of her new teacher.

"Oh, you are such a pussy sometimes," Eleanor smirked grabbing on to his arm and leaning her head on his shoulder. A few tears streamed down her face too. "I honestly don't know what the bloody hell we are going to do today.. we have the whole day to ourselves."

Jasper agreed with his wife's decision years ago on transitioning their lives outside of the palace. As much as he loved being the head of security detail, it was straining and hectic. Once they moved into their new house he decided to take a few years off before finding work.

Eleanor had more than enough money to support the family for the rest of their lives, but Jasper was intent on starting a new job at some point. Taking a completely different direction, he wanted to do something in the field of psychology. His therapist Dr. Holt had helped him through his darkest hours and he wanted to do the same for others.

They decided to take a stroll in the town celebrating their daughter. She was growing up at such a fast pace. Jasper seemed to have a rougher time coming to terms with this. He was absolutely captivated by Kami the second she was born. Sure, he was scared and unsure of his fathering abilities over a little girl..but he had exceeded above all expectations.

"Are you excited to go back to the palace tonight?" he asked forking a piece of lettuce.

"Yes, but I'm anxious."

"I understand, but I will be there with you. And plus.. Kami is excited more than ever. It's different this time Len."

"I agree." She smiled across the table at her handsome husband.

She never lost sight of how dear he was to her heart. He essentially saved her life the night she overdosed over 6 years ago. She was completely lost when they first met. But he mended her heart. He helped her through her demons. Although he had his fuck ups, his intentions were always pure when it came to Eleanor. He loved her more than he loved himself.. and that was rare to find. She would never take that for granted.

Picking up Kami from school, Eleanor reminded her that they would be going back to the 'castle' tonight. Kami was extremely excited. She told them about her first day of class. She said she made a bunch of new friends, including a few boys who played tag and chased her around at lunch time.

Jasper's knuckles turned white clenching onto the steering wheel. Eleanor lightly slapped his arm.

"She's in Kindergarten babe. It's only going to get worse," she smirked speaking quiet enough so Kami couldn't hear them. He looked over at her with his eyebrows furrowed.

They got back to their house.. better classified as a mansion. Kami instantly chucked her backpack across the room before climbing up the stairs.

"Kami!" Jasper hollered. "I think you should come downstairs and see what mommy and daddy got you as a present for your first day at school!"

"A surprise?!" she instantly turned around sliding down the steps.

Her parents led her into the kitchen. There was a muffled whimper noise coming from a box like shape covered in a towel. Kami waddled over to the towel and ripped it off. A Yorkshire terrier puppy was waiting, wagging its tail and panting with its tongue fully hanging out.

Kami let out a squeal before jumping up and down.

"A puppy?! Oh my gosh!"

Eleanor giggled looking over at Jasper who had a grin spread across his face. Nothing made them happier than seeing their little girl excited.

"I'm going to name him Edward," she squeaked.

"Whatever you want to name him darling.." Eleanor shrugged her shoulders at Jasper.

They were supposed to arrive at the palace in one hour. Eleanor frantically ran around the bathroom trying to find her diamond earrings. She was wearing a navy blue strapless gown and black heels. She put her hair up in a ponytail and did her makeup in a similar fashion as years ago. Heavier eyeliner than normal and a smoky eye.

"Babe they're right here," Jasper softly spoke picking them up from on top a dresser. He was wearing a black and white tuxedo.

"Holy shit," his expression dropped looking her up and down.

Eleanor gave him a crooked smile retrieving the earrings from his hand.

He walked up against her and brushed his fingers through her bangs. "How am I going to contain myself with you looking like this around me tonight?"

"Yes, I know.. the ponytail." She rolled her eyes.

"I am truly the luckiest man on the planet," he whispered gazing into her eyes. He placed his hands on her bottom and brought her closer pushing his lips against hers. She let out a squeal as he picked her up from underneath her shoulders and legs.

"You know.. Kami will end up playing with Robert for a while. Or Helena will want to spend time with her at some point."

She nodded her head hypnotized by his eyes.

"I'm going to take you back into your old room and fuck you how I used to.. when I first met you," he softly spoke putting her back down on her feet. "How does that sound?"

Eleanor furiously nodded her head before kissing him again. She could never get enough of this man.

The three of them entered their Bentley. Kami insisted on bringing Edward to show Robert, and they allowed it. She was wearing a purple dress tonight with a matching purple bow.

They arrived at the palace shortly thereafter and were greeted by two new security guards that neither of them recognized. One extended their hand helping Eleanor out of the car. Jasper picked up Edward and held onto Kami's hand. Edward consistently licked his face making his face scrunch up.

"Lenny!" Liam shouted from the entrance. Willow was standing beside him and little Robert stood between their legs.

"Puppy?!" Robert squealed as Jasper neared them.

"This is Edward," Kami informed her cousin as her dad put him down. They bolted past them giggling chasing after him.

"No love for Uncle Liam?" he yelled after them. He was beaming. She had never seen her brother so happy. She gave him a big squeeze while Jasper hugged Willow.

"Eleanor!" Helena greeted her with Allister close behind. She kissed her daughter on the cheek. "You look lovely."

"Doesn't she?" Jasper's eyes twinkled as he looked as his wife.

They all sat down for dinner at the main dining room in the palace. A huge feast was presented before them. If there was one thing Eleanor could say she missed about the palace, it would be this type of treatment. The surplus of food cooked to perfection by the staff. She was still getting used to cooking with Jasper's help.

Kami and Robert had a full conversation going on between the two of them throughout dinner. They kept asking if they could play with the puppy. But their parents told them they had to finish their food first.

Jasper and Eleanor brought their family up to speed with everything in their life. Kami's first day of Kindergarten, his plans to go into psychology, and her idea of volunteering at rehabs when she had down time.

"There was something else that we wanted to tell all of you," Jasper smiled as he put his fork down. He looked over to Eleanor who was beaming herself.

"What is it?" Helena hurriedly asked.

Eleanor stood up rubbing over her belly which they now recognized was slightly protruding. "I'm 2 months along."

Everyone gasped and Helena started tearing up. "Three grandchildren?"she sobbed. "How could I be so lucky?"

Eleanor laughed at her mother's sappiness.

"That's fantastic you guys." Liam and Willow got out of their seat to kiss them on the cheek.

"Fingers crossed it's a boy this time," Jasper chuckled. Eleanor slapped him on the arm.

"Or you could get stuck with three girls, how do you fancy that?"

Everyone broke out in laughter. Eleanor looked around the table. Her family was just where they needed to be. Liam was happily married to a wonderful woman, her mother had finally come to peace with herself and found true love again.. and then there was Jasper. There were not enough words to describe how much she loved him.

Jasper and Eleanor stood out on the balcony. They looked over the glistening lights of the city and the lavish royal garden that spread before it. It was hard to believe that this was their life for so many years. The ups, and the dramatic downs that had taken place in this palace.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and peered into his eyes.

"I was the Princess," she started speaking, her voice hoarse. "I had this beautiful palace to call my home for so many years. Drugs, alcohol, partying, money, extravagant outfits.. and I was never able to find myself. I was never comfortable in my skin. Until I met you Jasper. I don't know where I would be if I had never met your shady ass," she smirked as a single tear dropped from her eye.

"I love you so much Eleanor. I told you I would never give up on you, didn't I?"

She shook her head wiping another tear from her eye.

He put his hand on the back of her head and firmly pushed his lips against hers.

"I keep my promises," he whispered against her lips. "And what did I promise you earlier? Now let's get to your room."
