Secret in the Spotlight

So first off, hi! How are ya? :D

Now, this isn't the story I was planning on posting next. That one will be put on hold for a minute, cuz I really wanted to post this. If you've read A New Baby or A New Baby Redux (ew lol) this is basically a third rewrite of it, but with a brand new title cuz I didn't like the last one that much. The plot is basically the same, but with some changes. Praying that this will be the final time I rewrite this fic LOL

Also, friendly reminder, but Tiana Koopa is not me! She was my self insert as a kid, now she's her own character :)

Well, I hope you all like it!

"Today was so much fun!" Yasmine, Lemmy's girlfriend, said to him and Ludwig.

Lemmy giggled. "Us too!"

Ludwig's girlfriend, Jasmine, smiled as she playfully ruffled his hair. "Well, we'll talk to you guys later."

Fixing his hair, Ludwig chuckled. "Alright."

Jasmine and Yasmine turned around and made their way to their homes. Once the girls were out of sight, Ludwig and Lemmy went to Ludwig's Clown Car and hopped inside. Once they were seated, they took off and flew away from the Mushroom Kingdom. Lemmy gazed down at Toad Town and grinned. Even though he really loved Darkland, the Mushroom Kingdom was a really beautiful place.

Lemmy sighed happily as he felt the cool breeze on his skin. Today was a really great day! He had fun hanging out with Yasmine and Jasmine, even though he and Ludwig had to deal with a few Toads giving them dirty looks. Well, it makes sense—they do frequently invade the kingdom. But they weren't doing anything wrong today! They were only having fun!

"Hey, Lemmy?"

Lemmy was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard his older brother's voice. He turned to him and replied, "Yeah Lud?"

"Have you... have you noticed that Iggy's been acting weird lately?"

"...Weird how?"

"Well," Ludwig scratched his head. "He seems to be more... flirtatious with Tiana than normal."

Lemmy nodded. "Yeah, I have." Lemmy chuckled. "He's kinda acting like Uncle Langston when he's with Aunt Clawdeen."

Ludwig laughed along with him. "Yeah. I wonder when that happened."

Ludwig's thoughts returned to his fifteen-year-old brother and his girlfriend as they flew over Desert World. Iggy and Tiana dated for a couple months when they were thirteen and they were very happy and wholesome. They broke up and dated other people, but they weren't good relationships. Iggy's ex-girlfriend, Ginger Koopers, cheated on him and on the same day that they broke up, the Koopalings found out that Tiana's now ex-boyfriend, Drake Koopa, had been abusing her. Earlier this year, Iggy and Tiana wanted to give love another chance and got back together, which everyone supported and was happy about.

However, Iggy's behavior has been a little concerning. Lemmy noticed the look on Ludwig's face and smiled.

"I wonder what made him act like this too, but we shouldn't make a big deal out of it." Lemmy giggled. "Iggy and Tia just seem more in love than before."

Ludwig exhaled deeply. "Maybe you're right, Lems."

Lemmy grinned. "Of course I am!"

After that, the two brothers flew towards the Koopa Kingdom in silence. Ludwig let out another sigh.

"Maybe I'm just paranoid. Lemmy's probably right. Still... it is kinda odd to see Iggy acting like this."

I wish this first chapter was a little longer. Well, I hope you all have a great day today!

Hi! Here's chapter 2! This would've been up earlier, but I was busy

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Eventually, Ludwig and Lemmy returned to the Koopa Kingdom and flew past Koopa Valley, a town near the castle. They landed in front of the castle and exited the Clown Car. Two guards standing outside greeted them as the walked inside. As they turned and walked down a hall, the two saw Morton and Larry walking down the opposite side, grinning broadly. Ludwig and Lemmy stared at their younger brothers in confusion.

"What's going on, guys?" Lemmy asked.

Larry answered, "Guess what! Mom and Dad said we can throw that party!"

Lemmy gasped. "Really? Sweet!"

"We're heading to the game room right now. I'm pretty sure everyone else is there already." Morton said.

The four brothers then headed toward the game room. Sure enough, the rest of their siblings (with the exception of Junior, who was in his room coloring) were inside when they got there. Larry was the first to enter and made his way to the middle of the room.

"They said yes!" He cheered.

The others cheered along with him. Ludwig and Lemmy sat down across from Wendy once the cheering died down while Morton sat down next to his older twin, Roy.

"Ok, we need to start planning, right now!" Wendy stated. "First off, who are we inviting?"

"Well, obviously our girlfriends." Roy replied.

"And our cousins!" Lemmy added.

"Oh! Pom Pom and Boom Boom can come! Rogan and Karrisa too!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Now, what food do we serve?" Morton wondered.

Roy laughed. "Of course you'd be thinking about food, Morton."

Morton smiled sheepishly. "Hey. We gotta eat."

"Definitely chicken wings!" said Larry.

"And pizza!" Lemmy replied.

"Chips! Oh, and sodas!" Larry added.

Wendy chuckled. "Maybe salad too." Her brothers stared blankly at her, making Wendy frown. "What? Some people might wanna eat healthy that night."

"True." Ludwig looked up at the ceiling and thought to himself. "What about music and games?"

Larry smirked. "Well, I'll obviously be the DJ."

"We could play Truth or Dare." Wendy suggested.

Ludwig groaned. "I'm not playing that again."

"Oh yes you will!" Wendy laughed. "No one's gonna dare you to kiss Jasmine or someone else this time."

"Yeah right." Ludwig sighed. "If I play, I'm only choosing Truth the whole time."

Wendy pouted. "You're no fun, Ludwig."

The game room was filled with discussion of the party, and the Koopalings were thrilled about how much fun everyone will have. Wendy looked around at her brothers and frowned when her eyes landed on Iggy. He was absorbed in his phone.

"Iggy!" Iggy looked up after Wendy called his name. "What are you doing?"

Roy took a quick look at his brother's phone. "He's texting Tiana."

Iggy quickly closed his messages and put his phone inside of his shell. He chuckled nervously as the others raised an eyebrow at him.

"Sorry. But I was listening to you guys. I'm really excited about the party too!"

Roy snorted. "You seem more excited about flirting with your girlfriend instead."

Iggy's cheeks turned red as a few of his siblings laughed.

Lemmy then spoke up. "What were you and Tia talking about, Iggy?"

Iggy quickly responded, "Nothing important! Mainly school stuff."

Larry rolled his eyes. "Ugh. Iggy, you're such a nerd!"

Iggy ignored Larry's comment and adjusted his glasses. "Anyway, I think this party is going to be even better than the last one we had!"

Lemmy stared at his younger, but taller brother as everyone else talked about the party.

"He answered way too fast. What was that about?"

Deciding to drop it for now, Lemmy put on a smile and talked about more games that they could possibly play.

Hopefully chapter 3 will be longer

Hi! I hope you like this chapter!

Larry groaned as he went down the corridor with his siblings. "Ugh. I can't believe we have to do this..."

"Let's just get it over with." Morton sighed.

Bowser once again wanted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, so he called his children to meet everyone in the Great Hall. Bowser, Clawdia, and Kamek were waiting for them once they arrived. The meeting started after everyone took their seats.

"Alright! Now that you kids are here, let's go over our next attack." Bowser said.

"It's probably going to be the same as last time." Larry murmured.

Wendy snorted. "Yeah." She then realized something. "Wait... mom? You're helping out this time?"

"You don't usually help out when it involves... her." said Lemmy, referring to Princess Peach.

"Yep. I'll be helping this time." She then grumbled. "I still don't know how you convinced me to help, Bowser."

Bowser grinned. "Don't worry, Clawdia. Everything's gonna be fine!" He then faced the others. "Now, I was thinking we could do an underground siege!"

"Underground?" Ludwig repeated.

Bowser nodded. "Kamek can use some dark magic to open up Warp Pipes underneath Peach's castle. Then, our army will invade from below and I'll sneak in and capture the princess!"

"Huh. Maybe that could work." Larry said.

Lemmy smiled slightly. "Yeah. That's different."

"Great! Now, while I take her back here, you all will head to the other worlds to wait for the Marios to come!"

"So, we're going back to Desert World, Cloud World, and the others?" Ludwig asked.

Bowser nodded. "That's right." He crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "Boom Boom and Pom Pom can help out this time too. Maybe at the towers..."

As Bowser and the others conversed, Iggy began to zone out. Then, he felt his phone vibrating. Pulling it out of his shell, he smiled as he saw a text from his girlfriend.

"Hi sweetie! What are you up to?"

Iggy responded, "Dad's discussing his next plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom."

A minute later, Tiana texted back.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I can talk to you later."

Iggy smiled again. "Nah, we can talk. None of us wanna be here anyways."

Tiana laughed at his text, making Iggy smirk.

"What about you?" He asked her.

In response, Tiana said, "Just doodling." She sent him another text. "I was actually thinking about drawing you."

"Oh really? What am I gonna do in your drawing?"

"Make a new invention." She answered.

Iggy sent back, "Aww, I thought I was gonna do something else. :("

Two seconds later, Tiana replied back to him. "Haha! Ok, I'll draw you doing a trick on your bike or something. :)"

Iggy smirked. "Yeah, I like that!"

Bowser grinned as he talked about this latest plan. This was going to work! He knew it was! He looked around the room at everyone and scowled when his eyes landed on Iggy. Instead of paying attention, his son was smirking at his phone.

"Iggy!" Bowser yelled loudly.

Hearing his name made the bespectacled Koopaling jump, nearly dropping his phone. After putting his phone away, Iggy smiled sheepishly at his father.

"Hehe, sorry, Dad."

"What's up with you, son?" Bowser asked him. "You haven't been paying attention to our meetings lately."

"None of us wanna attend these meetings." Larry whispered.

Iggy elbowed his younger brother and looked back at Bowser. "Nothing's up."

"You've been talking to Tiana way more." Roy stated.

Bowser let out a sigh. "Look, Iggy, you can talk to your girlfriend later. Right now, I need everyone's attention. This is really important!"

Iggy nodded.

"Good. Now, as I was saying..."

Clawdia briefly glanced at Iggy before turning back to her husband as he continued to talk about their invasion plan.

Finally, the meeting ended an hour later. The kids quickly made their way out of the Great Hall, with some going to their rooms and others unwinding in the game room. As Iggy made his way to his room, he stopped in his tracks when he heard his mother call his name.

"Iggy? Can I talk to you for a minute?"

He turned to face her. "Oh sure."

The two arrived at his room and walked inside. After closing the door, Clawdia took a seat on the bed beside Iggy.

"What did you wanna talk about?" He asked.

"Iggy, are you sure everything's ok?"

He nodded. "Yeah."

Clawdia replied, "You have been pretty distracted lately when it comes to Tiana."

Iggy adjusted his glasses. "We've just been having more fun since we got back together a few months ago."

"Sweetheart, I'm very happy to see you and Tiana back together again."

Iggy's smile faltered. "But...?"

"But I want you both to stay focused on more important things, like school."

"Hahaha! You don't have to worry about our grades slipping!" Iggy laughed. "Tia and I keep up with our school and homework."

Clawdia smiled. "Alright. I trust you."

Clawdia gave him a kiss on the forehead and left Iggy's room. After his door closed, Iggy pulled out his phone and lay down. He found Tiana's name and called her.

If I have time tomorrow, I'll work on the next chapter. If not, then I'll post it one day next week :)

I hope you like this one :)

Nighttime finally came in the Koopa Kingdom. Besides the nightshift guards, everyone in the castle was fast asleep. Well, everyone except for Lemmy. He was asleep, but woke up an hour ago and was having a bit of trouble falling asleep again. He glanced over at his clock and gasped at the time, seeing that it was five minutes after midnight.

"Whoa. It feels later than that."

Lemmy stared at the ceiling as he tried to fall back asleep. Sadly, he was still awake after ten minutes went by. Frowning, Lemmy rolled over on his side and grumbled.

"C'mon! I gotta go to sleep!"

Lemmy closed his eyes, trying his best to go back to sleep. After a minute passed, he opened his eyes and grinned.

"I know! I bet a midnight snack will help me sleep!"

Getting out of bed, Lemmy slowly opened his door and peeked out. He looked both ways and smiled again, seeing no guards around the hall. After opening the door wider, he tiptoed out of his room and down the hallway. As he did this, he paused when he got near Iggy's room. He heard Iggy talking and noticed that his door was slightly open.

"Huh? Is Iggy working on a new project or something?"

Then, Lemmy heard someone laughing on a phone. He suppressed a chuckle when he recognized the voice.

"Oh! He's talking to Tia! I wonder how long they've been on the phone." Lemmy still refrained from laughing. "They're gonna be so exhausted if they don't go to sleep."

Before Lemmy took another step, his eyes widened when he heard Iggy say something to Tiana.

"We crossed the line already. What's one more step?"

Lemmy started to shake a little. "Crossed the line? What... what do you mean by that, Iggy!?"

Still trembling, Lemmy backed away from Iggy's room. He quickly made his way back to his room, completely forgetting about his late night snack.

Ludwig yawned as he walked out of his room the following morning. He headed down the corridor to join the others for breakfast. As he walked, Ludwig felt a hand grab his arm and pull him into a room, making his gasp. He turned to see Lemmy, who was looking at him worriedly.

"Lemmy? What's going on?" He asked.

"Uh..." Before Lemmy said anything, he peeked out of the room.

A few guards and servants were walking through the hall. Ludwig arched an eyebrow when he heard his younger brother growl in annoyance.

"...Lemmy?"

Lemmy sighed and faced Ludwig. Wanting to make sure no one outside the room could hear their conversation, Lemmy switched to sign language.

"We have a problem." He signed.

Ludwig furrowed his brow and signed back, "What's wrong?"

Lemmy then explained what he had overheard the night before. As he finished, Ludwig's eyes grew wide.

"Maybe you heard it wrong. Maybe it's a misunderstanding?" Ludwig signed.

"I'm not sure," Lemmy replied, "but I'm REALLY concerned about Iggy now."

"We should keep an eye on him just in case." Ludwig signed.

Lemmy nodded and let out a breath. The two brothers then left the room and joined their family for breakfast.

I'll work on the next chapter soon!

Started working on this last night and I finally finished this chapter! Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Ludwig and Lemmy were the final two to enter the dining hall. As they took their seats, Roy spoke up.

"What took ya so long?" He asked as he ate a piece of bacon.

"Oh, um, I was just showing Ludwig a new circus trick that I've been working on, and I wanted his opinion on it." Lemmy replied.

Ludwig nodded. "Yeah. It's pretty good!"

Bowser raised an eyebrow and asked, "It couldn't have waited until after breakfast?"

"I didn't think about it." Lemmy laughed uneasily. "I was just really excited to show someone."

Bowser Jr. turned to their parents with a huge grin on his face. "Can we do something fun after breakfast?"

Clawdia placed her coffee mug down and smiled. "Sure, Junior. You wanna play a board game?"

Junior quickly nodded. "Yeah!" He looked at the others. "Who else wants to play?"

Morton replied, "Sure, I will."

"Eh, I got nothing else to do." Larry said after drinking some orange juice.

Wendy smiled and said, "I guess I can play for a little bit."

As their baby brother and the rest of their family talked, Lemmy and Ludwig took a bite of their pancakes and glanced over at Iggy. Once again, the tallest Koopaling was on his phone texting. Ludwig and Lemmy exchanged glances but stayed quiet. They went back to eating, occasionally looking at Iggy.

Lemmy glanced back at Iggy as he took another bite of his food. His tail wagged as he continued to look at his phone. Clawdia also noticed it and frowned slightly.

"Iggy?" Iggy looked up when he heard his mother's voice.

"Yes, mom?" He replied.

"Can you please put your phone away for the moment?" She smirked. "You can talk to Tiana later."

Iggy's face grew warm as a few of his brothers laughed. "Alright."

After putting his phone into his shell, Iggy started eating his food again. Lemmy stared at him for a moment and then looked back at his plate.

After breakfast, everyone left the dining hall to either play a board game with Bowser Jr. or go to their rooms. Ludwig and Lemmy watched as Iggy made his way to the lab. Once he was out of sight, and making sure no one was around, Ludwig and Lemmy looked at each other.

"What do we do?" asked Lemmy.

Ludwig raked his fingers through his hair and sighed. "I don't know."

"Maybe... maybe one of us should go talk to Iggy." Lemmy suggested.

"Hmm." Ludwig thought for a second. "That could work. I did overhear mom talking to him last night, but maybe you can get Iggy to talk more about how he's feeling."

Lemmy blinked. "Me?"

"Yeah." Ludwig nodded. "I mean, you two have been pretty close since you were younger, so maybe he'll talk to you more about it."

"...You know what? You're right! I'll do that!" Lemmy grinned.

Then, the two heard footsteps coming in their direction. They turned to see Wendy walking towards them.

"Hey guys!" She greeted.

"Are you heading somewhere, Wendy?" Ludwig asked.

Wendy nodded. "I'm going to the movies with Tiana and Pom Pom."

"Oh great! Have fun!" Lemmy said. Before Wendy could get far, Ludwig and Lemmy had the same thought and stopped her. "Wendy, wait!"

Wendy turned around to look at them. "Yes?"

Ludwig stepped forward. "Wendy, can you... can you talk to Tiana for us?"

"Huh? About what?" She asked.

Ludwig and Lemmy explained what they've been noticing about Iggy and what Lemmy overheard last night. Once they were finished, Wendy looked at them.

"Alright, I'll talk to her. But I'm sure it's all just a misunderstanding."

Wendy hopped inside of her Clown Car and flew away from the castle. After a few minutes, she arrived in Koopa Valley. She eventually made it to Tiana's house and landed her Clown Car. She exited and walked over to the front door. She knocked on it and a few seconds later, Tiana opened the door.

She still wore her purple glasses, her red wristbands, and red shoes. As usual, she wore her hair in a ponytail, but this time it was braided.

"Wow, Tia! Your hair looks amazing!" Wendy stated.

Tiana blushed a little. "Thanks. My mom did it yesterday."

"Pom Pom's already at the movie theater waiting for us." Wendy explained as they walked away from the house.

The two girls got inside of the Clown Car and flew away from Tiana's house.

"So, which movie theater are we going to again?" Tiana asked.

"The one in Koopa Town." Wendy answered.

Tiana smiled. "Oh, I like that one!"

The two then flew in silence. As Wendy looked at the buildings below, she thought about what her brothers told her earlier.

"I guess I could ask her now."

"Hey, Tiana?" Tiana turned to look at her. "Is everything ok with you and Iggy?"

Tiana smiled again. "Yeah! Everything's great! Iggy's amazing!"

Wendy returned the smile. "That's good. Y'know, Iggy's been pretty flirty lately."

Tiana's face reddened. "Yeah, he has."

Wendy asked her, "Do you know why?"

Tiana shrugged. "I'm not sure. Maybe he's just more comfortable in the relationship." Tiana chuckled. "Whatever it is, I like this side of Iggy!"

Wendy chuckled also, but inside, she was growing concerned.

"You're overreacting, Wendy. Everything's fine."

Back at the castle, Iggy was in the lab fixing one of his inventions that broke recently. He sighed as he tightened a screw on the side of the machine.

"Almost done..." He whispered.

"Hey, Iggy?" Iggy looked up after the door to the lab opened, seeing Lemmy at the entrance.

Iggy smiled at him. "Hey, Lems!"

"Iggy, can we talk for a minute?" Lemmy asked him.

"Sure!" Iggy said, still fixing the machine.

Lemmy entered the lab and took a seat on one of the stools. Iggy set down the screwdriver and took a seat beside his older brother.

"So, what's on your mind?" He asked.

Lemmy took a deep breath and asked him, "Is everything alright?"

Iggy smiled. "Yeah. Why?"

"Well," Lemmy rubbed his arm. "Ludwig and I noticed that you've been more flirty with Tiana."

Iggy blushed and chuckled. "Oh. I'm just joking around with her."

Lemmy replied, "Well... I overheard what you said last night."

"Huh?" Iggy blinked. "What did I say?"

Lemmy frowned and said, "I heard you tell Tia... that you've already crossed the line and what's one more step."

Iggy gasped softly and asked, "You heard that?" After Lemmy nodded, Iggy said, "I was just messing with Tiana."

Lemmy stared at Iggy for a few seconds. Was he telling the truth? Are he and Tiana just goofing off? Are they just innocent teens in love?

Deciding to buy it for now, Lemmy said, "Ok. We're just concerned about you and we don't want things to go too far."

Iggy gave him a smile. "Everything's fine. You guys don't have to worry."

Lemmy slowly smiled. "Alright."

After Lemmy left the lab, Iggy went back to fixing his invention.

That's it for now!

Finally I'm back with a new chapter! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Iggy smiled as he made his way down the hallway from his history class. The final bell rung, signaling the end of school day. Iggy's smile widened when he turned to his left and saw Tiana standing in front of her locker. Doing his best to stay quiet, he slowly walked over to her. After she closed her locker, Iggy hugged her from behind, making his girlfriend gasp softly. Once he let her go, Tiana turned around and smiled at Iggy.

Before she could say anything, Iggy leaned in and kissed Tiana. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Ahem!"

Iggy and Tiana pulled away as they heard someone clear their throat and felt them lightly tap them on their legs. They looked down to see an elderly Koopa Troopa with white hair and thick glasses looking up at them.

"It's time for you two to head home now." The Koopa Troopa said.

Iggy and Tiana chuckled nervously and said, "We are, Mr. Shellman."

Mr. Shellman walked down the hall and yelled out to another couple. "That goes for you too, Rogan and Karrisa."

Tiana and Iggy looked in the direction where Mr. Shellman was going and saw their two friends. Rogan and Karrisa had the same golden skin as most Dragon Koopas did. Rogan liked his black hair styled in a spiky mohawk and had a red shell with yellow rings around the spikes. He also wore black sunglasses, a black jacket, and light gray spiked cuffs around his wrists. Karrisa had a pink head, blue eyes, long brown hair, a pink shell with magenta rings around the spikes, and wore magenta wrist bands and pink shoes.

Iggy and Tiana made their way down the hall and caught up with their friends before they could get far. Karrisa paused and turned around after catching a glimpse of them.

"Oh, hey guys!" She said to them.

"Hi! Can Iggy and I walk with you?" Tiana asked.

Rogan chuckled and playfully poked her. "Obviously!"

The four friends then walked out of the school. Rogan then turned to Iggy.

"Wendy didn't wanna walk with you guys?" He asked.

Iggy shook his head. "No. She told me that she was going to hang out with some friends after school."

"What about the others?" Tiana wondered.

"Well," Iggy adjusted his glasses, "Lemmy's at the castle already practicing some more circus tricks. I think today Roy and Morton were going to Diamond City with Kacey and Stacey." He chuckled. "Hopefully no one gets scared seeing Koopas."

"Hehe, yeah." Tiana laughed.

"And Ludwig's probably at his castle in Meringue Clouds." Iggy replied.

Karrisa sighed happily. "Meringue Clouds looks so beautiful. I should visit someday."

Rogan kissed her cheek. "Me too." Then, Rogan looked at Iggy again. "Oh yeah! Karrisa and I can't wait for the party!"

"Yeah!" Karrisa grinned. "It's going to be so much fun!" She then held Rogan's hand. "Well, Rogan and I are going to my house to do our homework."

"Alright. We'll see ya later!" said Iggy.

Then, the two couples went their separate ways.

When they arrived at the castle, Iggy and Tiana decided to go to Iggy's room to do their homework. They started with language arts and just finished their chemistry and history homework, and they were now on their math homework.

Tiana groaned. "Ugh, math..."

Iggy giggled. "Don't worry, Tia. I'm gonna help you."

"I know." Tiana sulked. "But I wish we had done math first."

Iggy gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Yeah, that's too bad." He picked up Tiana's homework. "Wow. You don't understand this?"

Tiana playfully smacked him. "Not everyone's as smart as you and Ludwig, Iggy!"

"Hahaha! Ok, fine! I'll try to explain it as best as I can."

"By the way," Tiana adjusted her glasses. "What do you wanna do after we finish our homework?"

"Hmm." Iggy looked down at the math questions. "Maybe we can watch tv."

Tiana smiled. "Great!"

The hours went by and Iggy and Tiana finally finished their homework. Tiana was the most excited, especially about the math homework. Clawdia told Tiana that she could stay for dinner, which made her and Iggy happy that Tiana could stay longer. After dinner, the two went to the game room to watch tv. They sat down on a large blue beanbag chair with a white blanket over them. Iggy flipped through the channels until he found a cheesy sitcom.

"You wanna watch this?" He asked.

"Sure! I like this show!" Tiana replied.

Iggy placed the remote next to him and watched the show with Tiana. Ten minutes later, they watched a scene where a couple was trying to calm down their crying baby.

"Sweetie, where's the pacifier?!" The wife asked.

The husband responded, "I thought YOU had it!"

The laugh track played and Iggy chuckled under his breath. With a gentle sigh, Tiana rested her head on his shoulder. Then, as they watched the show, Tiana thought of something.

"Hey, Iggy?"

"Yeah, Tia?"

"Have you... have you ever thought about having kids one day?"

Iggy stiffened, not pulling away, just... processing. He blushed and glanced down at Tiana.

"Sometimes. It would have have to be with the right person." Iggy smiled. "It'd be great if it was with you."

Iggy and Tiana then realized how close they were sitting. Before they could do anything, Ludwig came into the game room.

"Iggy, I fixed the inventi—"

Ludwig stopped and took in the scene: blanket, closeness, expressions. His eyes narrowed slightly. Everyone was silent for a moment.

Iggy was the first to speak. "It's not what it looks like, Ludwig!"

Ludwig folded his arms. "Sure. TV. Under a blanket. In a dark room." Ludwig then sighed and stepped closer, like he was about to launch into a royal decree. Ludwig then said, "Listen. You're teenagers. Hormonal. Easily influenced. So let me be clear: cuteness does not equal preparedness."

Iggy and Tiana didn't say anything, so Ludwig continued. "Do you two know how expensive formula or diapers are? Or how much sleep you'll lose when your baby is screaming at 3AM?"

Iggy adjusted his glasses. "Technically, we can afford diapers and formula since I'm royalty."

Ludwig glared at his brother. "It doesn't matter! It's very serious!"

Iggy sighed and replied, "We know."

Tiana nodded. Ludwig then sighed and looked at them both.

"It's ok for you guys to love and care about each other, but you have to be careful." Then Ludwig turned to look at Iggy. "You're smart, but even geniuses make mistakes. Remember, you're royalty. If you were to become a teen dad, it would be a huge scandal. Mom and Dad went through that when they were younger, and so did Aunt Clawdeen and Uncle Langston." Ludwig smirked slightly. "And I'm also not ready to be called 'Uncle Ludwig'."

Tiana giggled. "You don't have to worry about that, Ludwig. The last thing on our minds is having a baby right now."

Iggy chuckled. "It's not on our minds at all!"

Ludwig smiled. "Alright."

After that, Ludwig left the game room. Tiana and Iggy went back to watching their show, the conversation with Ludwig in the back of their minds.

I'll try to post the next chapter on Wednesday!

Started working on this chapter late last night and I finally finished it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Today's the big day. Bowser and his family were going to try his latest plan to invade the Mushroom Kingdom. Iggy and his siblings had to wake up a little earlier than usual, which they weren't happy about. They got ready for the day and went to the dining hall once they were finished. Bowser and Clawdia had arrived a few minutes before the kids and were already sitting down at the table. When Junior and the Koopalings took their seats, Bowser was beaming broadly.

"So, you kids ready for this invasion?" Bowser asked them.

Larry groaned. "I wanna sleep longer." He yawned. "Did we really have to wake up so early?"

"Yes! I want everyone up and ready for this!" Bowser answered.

"Bowser, we don't have to leave for another two hours." Clawdia sighed. "The children can rest until then."

The kids agreed, which made Bowser scowl.

"Ugh, fine! They can rest, but Kamek will sneak over to the Mushroom Kingdom and open the Warp Pipes." Bowser replied. A servant set his coffee in front of him, and he took a sip. "Boom Boom and Pom Pom are already at the towers in the Mushroom Kingdom and Desert World."

Clawdia sighed after thanking the chefs for bringing their breakfast. "I really hope this plan works..."

Junior swallowed a spoonful of his cereal and smiled at his older siblings. "I have an idea! We should go to the playroom together until it's time to go!"

Roy burped loudly, making Clawdia give him a disapproving look. "Sure, short stack. But I gotta get more sleep."

Larry nodded. "Yeah, me too. Once I get some sleep, I'll be ready to play some video games or something in the game room."

Bowser Jr. giggled and everyone went back to eating their breakfast.

After eating breakfast, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. went to their rooms to get some more sleep before the invasion. An hour later, they were fully awake and made their way to the game room to rest more before they had to leave. Some of the kids were playing video games while others were either reading or drawing.

Larry smiled as he, Lemmy, Roy, and Morton were fighting a boss in a video game. "Y'know, I feel like this plan is going to work."

Lemmy nodded in agreement. "Me too!"

"I dunno." Wendy said as she played with one of her bracelets. "I feel like Mario and Luigi are going to beat us like they always do."

"Don't speak it into existence, Wen! You gotta stay positive!" Lemmy said, a huge smile on his face.

Before Wendy could respond, she heard Iggy giggling to himself. She turned toward him and saw Iggy looking at his phone.

With a sly smile, Wendy asked, "Let me guess, you're talking to Tia?"

"Yes!" Iggy replied and smiled at his phone again.

Larry paused the game and turned around to look at Iggy. "What are you guys talking about now?"

Iggy replied, "Tiana finished her drawing of me. She's also going to come see us before we leave."

Larry turned to face the tv again and went back to playing the game with his other brothers. "You guys are probably gonna make out when she gets here."

Iggy blushed. "No we won't!"

Larry chuckled softly. "Sure, you won't."

Ignoring his younger brother's comments, Iggy looked at his phone screen again.

The invasion was finally about to start. The Koopa Troop were already outside, waiting for the Koopa family to come out. Once they made it outside, the Koopa Troop made their way to the airships. Bowser and Clawdia walked toward his airship while their kids walked toward their own. Before the kids could get far, they heard someone running over to them. When they turned around, they saw Tiana.

"Hello, everybody!" Tiana greeted. "I wanted to see you all before you left and wish you all luck."

Bowser Jr. grinned. "Thanks, Tia! We're gonna win this time!"

Tiana patted Junior on the head, making him giggle. She then walked over to Iggy and hugged him tightly.

"Good luck, Iggy." She whispered.

"Thanks, Tia." Iggy whispered back. He then gave her a quick kiss. "I'll talk to you when I make it to my castle in Jungle World."

Tiana nodded and smiled. "Alright."

Iggy and Tiana leaned in closer and shared another kiss. Iggy's siblings either rolled their eyes or pretended to throw up as the kiss grew more intense. Bowser approached the young couple and smacked Iggy on the back of the head. Once the two pulled away, Bowser looked at Tiana with a grin.

"I'm sorry, Tiana, but we gotta get going so I can finally take over the Mushroom Kingdom."

Tiana giggled. "Ok, Lord Bowser."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Tiana headed back home. As Iggy walked closer to his siblings, Larry began to laugh.

"I knew you guys were gonna make out!" Larry laughed some more. "Uncle Langston really did rub off on you."

Iggy's face was now red. "Shut up!"

After that, everyone boarded their airships.

Later on in Jungle World, Iggy sat in the top room of the castle, on a video call with Tiana. Iggy immediately began to text her when he first arrived and Tiana asked if they could video chat. Iggy was thrilled to do it and they've been on the phone for much longer.

"I miss you." Tiana said.

"I miss you too." Iggy sighed. "I hate being this far away from you."

The room's door opened as they were talking. Mario and Luigi walked inside, using a Fire Flower and wearing a Penguin Suit respectively.

Iggy scowled and said, "They're here. I gotta go."

Tiana's smile dimmed. "Oh. Be careful, ok?"

"I will. I promise." Iggy replied. He gave her a smile. "I love you, Tiana."

Tiana returned the smile. "I love you too, Iggy."

After they hung up, Iggy put his phone back inside of his shell.

Luigi then chuckled. "You two are adorable!"

Iggy's cheeks turned red. "Sh-Shut up!"

He took out his wand and waved it, summoning a large Chain Chomp.

Back in Bowser's castle, the servants were walking around the halls doing their duties such as cleaning or guarding certain rooms. As she walked down another corridor, a Koopa Troopa maid waved to one of the guards. She smiled when she saw a few more Koopa Troopas, Goombas, and Paratroopas down the hall dusting off some portraits and tables. As she hummed one of Ludwig's songs, she heard someone sigh. She paused and turned to her right to see a red-shelled Koopa Troopa who stopped cleaning.

"Are you alright?" She asked him.

The Koopa Troopa ran his fingers through his black hair and looked at her. "I am, it's just... everything's so boring these days!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked.

The Koopa replied, "Nothing interesting happens here! The only interesting thing that does is when Lord Bowser kidnaps someone who isn't Princess Peach."

The maid chuckled. "Well, what would you like to happen?"

The Koopa Troopa sighed. "I dunno. Maybe... a scandal or something?"

Everyone in the hallway gasped when they heard him. The maid walked closer to him, her eyes wide.

"You mean with King Bowser or his family?" She whispered. After her colleague nodded, she whispered again. "Why in the world would you want the royal family to be in a scandal? I mean, the others are just kids! Especially Prince Junior!"

The Koopa Troopa shrugged. "I just want something more interesting to happen."

Sighing, the maid then said, "Well, hopefully something better than a scandal will happen."

For a moment, Kamek glanced at the servants as he passed the hallway. Realizing that they weren't working, he flew back to the hall and over to them.

"Why are you just standing there? Get back to work!" He exclaimed.

"Yes sir!" Everyone said in unison.

Once Kamek flew away again, the servants went back to cleaning.

I'll try to work on the next chapter tomorrow

I finally made a slightly longer chapter! I'm so proud of myself lol. I hope you like it!

Also, if you wanna see what the rest of Bowser's family looks like or learn more about them, I have drawings of them and their bios on deviantart and I describe what they look like more in my other story "The Crystal Kingdom Redux."

Now, let's get on with the chapter!

Finally, the day of the party has arrived. The Koopalings were very excited about it. They couldn't wait to see their guests and have a great time! In the dining hall, everyone was seated at the table, finishing up their breakfast. Wendy set down her now-empty cup of apple juice and giggled.

"I can't wait! This party is going to be so much fun!"

"I already know what music I'm gonna play!" Larry said.

Clawdia smiled. "I know you all are going to have a great time tonight."

"What time are the others coming over?" Lemmy asked.

"Sharon told me that they'll be here after lunchtime." Iggy replied, taking a bite of his toast.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Larry looked over at Iggy. "You're not on the phone with Tiana for once?" He let out a fake gasp. "I am shocked!"

Iggy rolled his eyes. "She's busy right now."

Larry laughed. "Still, it's pretty shocking to not see you texting her."

"Yeah." Morton added. "Seems like the only time you're not talking to her is when you're in the lab or sleeping.

Roy snorted. "Or in the shower."

"Actually, I think he was still talking to her while he was in the shower one time." Lemmy chuckled.

"What?! Tia saw you naked?!" Bowser Jr. cried out, making Iggy blush.

"No! My phone was near the sink! She could still hear me!" Iggy replied.

"Oh. That makes sense." Junior laughed. "It'd be so gross if she did see you naked."

Iggy groaned as his face grew hotter. "Can we please go back to talking about the party?"

A few of the Koopalings laughed, making Iggy more embarrassed. Pretty soon, everyone finished their breakfast and left the dining hall.

Later that day, everyone finished eating lunch and were patiently waiting for Bowser's sister and her family to arrive. The kids were in the game room, watching a cartoon. As they laughed at a joke, Iggy's phone vibrated. He took it out of his shell and smiled at the screen.

Larry asked him, "Is it Tiana again, Iggy?"

Iggy shook his head. "No. It's Sharon. They're walking inside the castle."

Lemmy turned off the tv and one by one, the kids rushed out of the game room. They dashed through the halls until they arrived in the throne room. Along with Bowser and Clawdia, more Koopas were inside.

The woman, along with two of the children, had the same fiery red hair color as Bowser. One had long red hair that was slightly lighter than theirs, and she kept it in a ponytail. Two of the boys had green hair like the man next to the woman, but one had black on the tips of his spiky hair. The others had brown and black hair, with one having purple at the ends of her locs. The man with the long, green locs pulled back in a ponytail, smiled at them.

"There you are! I was wondering where you guys were." He said.

"Auntie Clawdeen! Uncle Langston!" Bowser Jr. rushed over to them and hugged their legs. "You finally made it!"

Clawdeen smiled at their youngest nephew and patted his head. "Of course, sweetheart. How have you been?"

The little girl with short red hair in twin tails hugged Bowser's leg. "Hi, Uncle Bowser! I missed you!"

Bowser laughed and picked her up. "I missed you too, Talisa."

Bowser gave Talisa a kiss on the cheek, making her laugh.

"Eww! Uncle Bowser, that's so gross!"

Talisa laughed more as Clawdia also gave her a kiss. Once Bowser sat her down, Talisa looked at the older kids.

"Can Junior and I stay for the party?" She asked them.

"No way," Austin, the oldest of Clawdeen's and Langston's children, said. "It's for teens only!"

Seeing his youngest daughter pout, Langston knelt down next to her.

"Hey, we're gonna have some fun too, remember?" He said.

Talisa gradually calmed down. "Yeah, you're right, Daddy."

"Yeah! I can't wait to go to the amusement park and play some games." Bowser Jr. cheered.

Talisa giggled. "Me neither!"

As Junior and Talisa talked to the adults, the Koopalings walked over to the rest of their cousins. Sharon, the girl with the long black and purple locs, was the first to speak up.

"Hey guys! So, should we start setting up everything early?" She asked them.

Larry replied, "Sure. That way we can just chill before the party starts."

The teens left the throne room and made their way to the ballroom. When they arrived, they saw a few Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas already decorating the room.

Alex, the girl with short brown hair tied back in a ponytail, chuckled. "Oh sweet! They already started."

Theodore, the boy with short brown hair and Alex's twin brother, spoke up. "Well, let's help them. That way, it'll be finished faster."

The kids each grabbed sone decorations and helped out.

After two hours, everything was finished. The ballroom was decorated with balloons, banners, streamers, and other types of decorations. The kids were currently resting in the game room, where Bowser Jr. and Talisa were playing a video game. Iggy sighed as he sat on the couch. Then, his phone vibrated and he took it out. He smiled, seeing a text from Tiana.

"I can't wait to hang out with you later at the party!" She said.

Iggy replied back, "Me neither!"

Sharon smirked and leaned over when she saw Iggy using his phone. "Oh, are you talking to your girlfriend?"

Iggy blushed and quickly closed his messages. "Y-Yes, I was."

Sandra, Iggy's older cousin, smiled and said, "You two are adorable together!"

Iggy blushed even more after hearing her say that.

"I hope you and Tiana won't make out all night." Larry said.

Iggy's face turned more red. "Shut up, Larry! We're not gonna make out all night!"

Alex laughed. "Haha! I bet y'all will for the first half of the night!"

Iggy groaned, his embarrassment growing more.

That evening, Bowser, Clawdia, Clawdeen, and Langston were preparing to leave the castle with Junior and Talisa. With great excitement, the two children hurried to the castle's front doors.

"Guys, slow down! The amusement park isn't going anywhere!" Bowser said to them.

"We know, but we can't wait!" Junior replied.

Talisa jumped up and down, still very excited. "Yeah! I wanna go on the rides and play so many games!"

Clawdeen laughed as she took Talisa's hand. "Don't worry. We'll get there soon."

"Can we please go now?" Bowser Jr. asked.

"Alright, alright. Let's go." Bowser replied.

Talisa let go of Clawdeen's hand and helped Bowser Jr. push open the front doors. Talisa and Junior then excitedly ran out of the castle.

"Hey, slow down!" Bowser called out to them.

Trying to catch up with the two children, the four adults hurried out of the castle. Back with the teenagers, they left the game room and made their way back to the ballroom. When they arrived, they walked inside and smiled as they looked around, admiring their hard work. Everything was perfect! A few Paratroopas were also placing the last trays of food on the tables, the scent making Morton's and Theodore's stomachs growl.

"This is going to be the best party ever!" Wendy said.

A few minutes later, Tiana walked inside of the ballroom, smiling at everyone.

"Hey guys!" She greeted them.

Iggy approached his girlfriend with a grin. The two kissed, which made the others playfully ooh at them. Iggy rolled his eyes at them once he and Tiana pulled away. A few seconds later, Jasmine, Kacey, her older brother Kayden, Yasmine, and Stacey entered the ballroom.

"Hey everyone!" Wendy greeted as she walked over to them. She then looked at Kacey. "Wow! I'm surprised you convinced your brother to come!"

Kayden shrugged. "I thought going to a party would be fun. And I wanted to keep an eye on your brother and my sister tonight."

Roy scoffed at his comment.

"Kayden, Roy and I are just going to talk and dance. Nothing more." Kacey said, giving her brother a smile.

Stacey glanced around the room as Lemmy gave Yasmine a hug and Jasmine walked over to Ludwig to talk to him.

"Everything looks amazing!" She exclaimed.

Larry made his way over to the DJ booth and turned on the music. Over time, more teens entered the castle and arrived in the ballroom, and the party officially began.

The party was still going on and everyone was having a great time. Some were dancing, others were eating, and a few were talking to their friends. Ludwig, Lemmy, Yasmine, and Jasmine decided to sit together and eat. Roy, Kacey, and Kayden were talking with Alex and Sharon. Morton, Theodore, Sandra, and Austin poured some more lemonade into their cups. Wendy was dancing with Pom Pom while Boom Boom was talking to Larry, letting him know what song to play next.

Iggy and Tiana were sitting by a wall, talking to each other. Tiana gave Iggy a kiss on the cheek, making his heart flutter.

"I'm having a great time, Iggy!" She said.

Iggy chuckled. "I'm glad you are. I am too."

The couple continued to talk about the party, school, and their future date plans. Then, Iggy smiled, remembering something.

"Oh yeah! You wanna see a new invention that I'm working on?" He asked her.

Tiana smiled brightly. "Sure!"

Iggy and Tiana stood up from their seats and walked out of the ballroom without anyone noticing. The two walked through another hallway until they eventually arrived at the lab. When they walked inside, Iggy walked over to a large, silver machine, with Tiana next to him.

Tiana stared at it in awe. "Wow! What is it?"

Iggy giggled. "This is a time machine! Well, an early version of one."

Tiana gasped and looked at her boyfriend. "Are you serious?"

Iggy nodded and replied, "Yep! Ludwig actually made one when he was younger, but it broke. I was inspired by it and one that E. Gadd made before. So, I wanted to try making my own." Iggy walked closer to the time machine and gently touched the colorful buttons, frowning slightly. "Unfortunately, it's pretty hard getting it right. I don't know why, but I'm having so much trouble getting it to work!"

Tiana walked closer to him. "I know you can do it, Iggy. It might take some time, but I know you can!"

Iggy faced her and smiled. "Thanks, Tia."

The two then wrapped their arms around each other and kissed. The kiss deepened and a few minutes later, they pulled away but held onto each other.

"Hey, can I ask you something, Tia?" He asked.

Tiana nodded. "Of course."

Iggy leaned forward and whispered to her. Once he pulled away and smirked at her, Tiana's cheeks turned red.

"Yes!" She replied.

Still smirking, Iggy held Tiana's hand and the two left the lab, making their way to another part of the castle.

Later on at the party, Ludwig and Lemmy were still with Jasmine and Yasmine, laughing and having a fun time. After calming down from laughing so hard, Lemmy looked around at everyone at the party. Along with their friends and cousins, he saw his younger siblings having fun dancing. He saw everyone, except for one brother and his girlfriend, which made him raise an eyebrow.

"Wait a minute... where's Iggy and Tiana?" He wondered.

Jasmine looked around. "I could've sworn I saw them sitting by the wall before."

Then, after slipping back into the party, Iggy walked over to them, with Tiana by his side. Ludwig's and Lemmy's brows furrowed, noticing how messy Iggy's hair is now and how pink Tiana's cheeks were.

"Hey!" Iggy looked at Jasmine and Yasmine. "Are you girls having a good time?"

Jasmine nodded and Yasmine said, "Yes, we are!"

"Where were you guys?" Lemmy asked.

Iggy replied, "Oh, I wanted to show Tiana one of my new inventions that I'm working on."

Ludwig narrowed his eyes. "Iggy, why is your hair a mess? And why is Tiana blushing?"

"Oh, his invention blew up in his face and right before we walked back in here, Iggy kissed my cheek." Tiana replied, a little too quickly.

Iggy took Tiana's hand and led her to the dance floor. Ludwig and Lemmy glanced at each other briefly before looking at their girlfriends.

"Uh, Lemmy and I will be right back. You two wait here." Ludwig told them.

"Alright!" Jasmine and Yasmine said in unison. The two girls talked to each other as their boyfriends walked to a corner of the room.

Lemmy looked at Ludwig. "You don't think...?"

"I hope not." Ludwig replied.

"Me too..." Lemmy said, nervously rubbing his arm.

The two glanced over at Iggy and Tiana, who were dancing and laughing together. After watching the young couple for a few more seconds, Ludwig and Lemmy walked back over to their girlfriends, trying their best not to worry too much.

I've been working on this chapter since last night. I'm so tired ^^; If I don't work on and post the next chapter tomorrow, it'll be up another day.

Hi everyone! Here's the next chapter! I've been working on it all day. Hope this one is alright!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Two weeks have gone by since the Koopalings threw their party. Their friends were still talking about it, saying how much fun they had and how they can't wait for their next party. Iggy chuckled to himself as he sat in the lab, thinking back to the party. Today, Iggy wanted to work on his time machine prototype, but he needed Ludwig's help with it. He sat at one of the lab tables as he patiently waited for Ludwig to arrive.

After three minutes went by, Ludwig entered the lab and walked over to his brother.

"Sorry it took me so long, Iggy. I was helping Junior with his homework." Ludwig said.

Iggy smiled. "It's fine." He stood up and walked over to the time machine. "Well, let's get this time machine working!"

Ludwig nodded and followed Iggy. After Iggy sat the toolbox next to him on a table, the two got to work. Iggy took out a screwdriver and handed it to Ludwig. He then looked through the toolbox for another tool.

"Hopefully this'll work..." Iggy mumbled. "I really don't want it to blow up in our faces or not work at all."

"Don't worry. We'll figure it out." Ludwig said to him.

After using the screwdriver, he handed it back to Iggy so he could use it on the other side of the machine. While using the screwdriver, Iggy began to zone out. As he did, his mind went to his girlfriend.

For two weeks now, Iggy noticed that Tiana has been acting very strangely. He saw that Tiana has been feeling sick and has cried over the smallest things. Iggy frowned, not knowing why Tiana wasn't acting like her normal self. He really wanted Tiana to feel better. He missed seeing her smile more. He hated seeing her so upset. He—

"Iggy!"

Iggy blinked as he snapped out of his thoughts. He looked over at Ludwig, who was frowning at him.

"Huh? What's wrong, Ludwig?" Iggy asked.

Ludwig let out a sigh. "Iggy, I've been asking you to pass me that wrench for two minutes now."

Iggy's face turned red and he smiled sheepishly. "Oh, sorry, Ludwig." Iggy picked up the wrench and handed it to his brother. After tightening a bolt, Ludwig set the wrench down next to him and faced Iggy.

"Are you alright, Iggy?" Ludwig asked. "You seem like something's on your mind."

Iggy sighed and stared at the floor.

"Well, it's just... I'm really worried about Tiana. She's been acting really weird lately, and I just wanna make sure nothing's wrong." He explained.

Ludwig then asked him, "Have you talked to her about it?"

Iggy nodded and sighed once again. "She says she's alright, but I can tell something's wrong."

After giving it some thought, Ludwig spoke again.

He gave Iggy a smile and said, "Well, maybe she'll tell you when she's ready."

"I hope you're right..." Iggy picked up another tool and continued to help Ludwig fix the time machine.

Iggy invited Tiana over to the castle the following day to hang out with him and his siblings. They were planning on watching a movie together in the game room, and Iggy was pretty excited to watch it with everyone. Iggy stood outside of the castle as he waited for Tiana to arrive. A few minutes later, she showed up and stood in front of Iggy with a smile on her face.

"Hi sweetie!" Tiana greeted and kissed Iggy, making them both blush.

"H-Hey, Tia! Come on in."

Smiling, Iggy took Tiana's hand and they walked inside of the castle.

"So, how are you feeling, Tiana?"

Tiana smiled. "Oh, I'm great!"

Iggy returned her smile. Pretty soon, they arrived at the game room and walked inside. The rest of Iggy's siblings (with the exception of Morton, who wasn't in the room) greeted Tiana when they saw her and Iggy. Tiana and Iggy sat down on the couch, with Tiana in between him and Wendy. Just then, Morton entered the game room, carrying a bowl of popcorn, candy, and sodas.

Morton grinned. "Alright! Let's get this movie started!"

Morton placed the bowl of popcorn on the table and passed out the candy and sodas to everyone. The scent of the popcorn reached Tiana, making her feel nauseous. Iggy turned to talk to her, but frowned, noticing how sick she looked.

"Tia? A-Are you ok?" He asked her.

"I... I gotta go for a second!" Tiana covered her mouth and sprinted across the hall to the bathroom.

Wendy looked at Iggy and stood up.

"I'll go check on her." She said.

Once Wendy left the room, Iggy looked over at Ludwig.

"See? What's going on with her?" Iggy wondered.

Lemmy then replied, "Maybe Tia's got some weird illness that we don't know about."

"I don't know about that, Lemmy." Ludwig responded.

"And what about her crying?" Roy asked. "I mean, she usually cries when someone hurts her, but she cried the other day when Kacey asked her if she liked her cupcake!" Roy exclaimed, recalling his girlfriend trying to calm Tiana down.

"Maybe she's stressed out about school?" Morton suggested.

"That could be why she's crying... but that still doesn't explain her getting sick all the time." Iggy said.

Everyone looked up when Tiana and Wendy returned and sat down.

"I'm sorry, guys. I'm feeling better now." Tiana smiled at them.

"Are you sure?" Iggy asked.

"Yeah. We can start the movie now." She replied.

Even though he still wasn't sure, Iggy chose to drop the subject for now and tried to enjoy the movie.

I'm gonna try to work on the next chapter tomorrow, but it'll be up in a couple of days :)

Hope you all like this one!

"Ugh..."

The sun shined brightly in Tiana's bedroom the next morning, a little too bright in her opinion. She rolled over on her side so the sunlight wouldn't be in her face. Normally, she wouldn't lie in bed for much longer. But, for some reason, Tiana was feeling really exhausted. She was planning on going to the mall today with Wendy, Rogan, and Karrisa. But right now, all Tiana wanted to do was lie down.

"Tia! Breakfast is ready!" She heard Jenny, her younger sister, yell from downstairs.

Sighing, Tiana put on her glasses, got out of bed, and made her way to the bathroom. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she brushed her black hair and tied it into a ponytail like usual. Once she was ready, Tiana left the bathroom and went downstairs. She walked into the kitchen to find her family sitting at the table eating pancakes and sausage.

Tiana yawned. "Good morning, everyone."

She took a seat beside her sister, who was watching a video on her phone.

Tyra, their mother, smiled at Tiana. "Good morning. How are you feeling, Tia?"

"Fine." Tiana replied and took a bite of her pancakes.

Tony, their father, gave Tiana a smile. "Well, I'm glad you're not feeling sick."

"Are you still going to the mall today?" Jenny asked her.

Tiana nodded. "Yep! I can't wait!"

"Oh! Don't forget Tia, Mark and Joey are coming to visit you and Jenny later today." Tyra said.

Tiana smiled when she heard her younger brothers' names. "I know! It's been awhile since we've seen them!" Tiana took a sip of her apple juice. "I can't wait to hang out with them and play some games together."

"Alright! I'm heading to Neo Bowser City!" Tiana said to her parents.

"Ok, honey! Have fun!" Tony replied.

Tyra waved at her. "Bye, sweetie!"

Tiana waved back before leaving her house and heading down the street. She eventually got to a green Warp Pipe and jumped inside. When she made it out on the other side, she finally arrived in Neo Bowser City. She smiled as she looked around. It was amazing!

Neo Bowser City was her favorite place to visit in the Koopa Kingdom. The city had so many beautiful neon lights and signs, most of them featuring Bowser, which makes sense. Even when it rained, it looked so pretty. Some of her family members moved here when the city was built a few years ago, like her little brothers and their mothers. She especially loved visiting the city with Iggy. They always had so much fun going to the different shops and restaurants.

She continued walking until she came to a large building. Smiling, she walked inside of the mall and passed a clothing store. When she did, Tiana saw Wendy and Rogan standing by the food court. With a broad smile, she ran over to them. Wendy and Rogan noticed her and returned her smile.

"Hey, Tia!" Wendy greeted.

"Hey guys!" Tiana looked at them both and saw that one person was missing. "Wait. Karrisa didn't come with you, Rogan?"

"Nah." Rogan shook his head. "She wasn't feeling good, so she's gonna stay at home and rest."

"Aw, that's too bad." Tiana replied.

Rogan smiled. "Well, what do you guys wanna do first?"

Then, Rogan's stomach growled, making the two girls laugh.

"...I guess I'll get something to eat first." Rogan chuckled. "You two can go ahead."

"Haha ok!" Wendy said and grabbed Tiana's hand.

As Rogan went in line to get some food, Wendy dragged Tiana to the nearest makeup store.

Wendy and Tiana walked out of the makeup store a few minutes later. Wendy bought a few things while Tiana only bought some purple nail polish. Rogan caught up with them outside of the store, with a hot dog in his hand.

"I should've known you'd go to the makeup store first." Rogan laughed.

Wendy giggled. "Of course! It's my favorite in the mall!"

The scent of the hot dog made its way over to Tiana. When it did, Tiana began to feel queasy.

"Oh no..." She whispered.

"Tiana? Are you alright?" Rogan asked.

"Yeah." Wendy added. "You don't look so good."

"I-I'm o—"

Before she could say anything more, Tiana sprinted to the closest bathroom. Wendy and Rogan watched her run, feeling very concerned. Wendy sighed as she handed her bag to Rogan.

"You wait here. I'll make sure she's alright."

After that, Wendy made her way to the bathroom.

"Seriously. What in the world is going on with me lately?" Tiana thought to herself as she wiped her mouth with some tissues.

After tossing it in the toilet, she sighed and flushed it down. She walked out of the stall and gasped, seeing Wendy standing near a sink.

"Wendy!" Tiana exclaimed. "W-What are you doing here?"

Wendy replied, "I came to make sure you were alright." As Tiana sighed and washed her hands, Wendy spoke again. "Tia, we need to talk. We're all worried about you! You've been acting differently for a while now."

Tiana sighed again as she dried off her hands. "Wendy... I don't know what's wrong with me. I mean, this has been going on for two weeks!" Tiana frowned. "I just want this feeling to go away!"

"I know, Tia. Man, the nausea and how emotional you've been, it's almost like—"

Tiana raised an eyebrow as Wendy gasped and stared at her wide eyed.

"Wendy? What's the matter?"

"Tia..."

Two Koopa Troopas entered the bathroom and walked inside of the stalls. Wendy nervously took out her phone and texted Tiana.

"Tia, the party we threw was two weeks ago, right?"

Still confused, Tiana texted back, "Yeah. Why?"

Tiana stared at Wendy, noticing her friend growing more concerned.

Wendy sent another text. "What did you and my brother do at the party?"

"Iggy and I talked and danced mostly." Tiana sent another message. "At one point he took me to the lab to show me the new invention he's working on. And then we went to Iggy's room."

Tiana gasped and trembled, realizing why Wendy looked so concerned. Tiana put her phone away and walked closer to Wendy.

"You don't think...?" Tiana whispered.

"We should check. Just to make sure." Wendy replied.

The two girls walked out of the bathroom. They saw Rogan standing by the makeup store and went over to him.

"Thanks for waiting for us, Rogan. Let's head to one of the clothing stores!" Wendy said.

"Eh, you guys can go. I'll check out the video game store across from it."

Wendy nodded and Rogan led the way. As they walked, Wendy leaned over to Tiana and whispered. "We need to buy hoodies before we go to buy what we need."

"Huh? Why?" Tiana asked.

"If someone sees the fourteen-year-old Princess of Darkland and her friend buying it, it'd probably end up on the news." Wendy replied.

Tiana softly gasped. "You're right! I didn't even think of that!"

The girls entered the clothing store while Rogan made his way inside the gaming store. Wendy and Tiana looked through the shelves and clothing racks until they found black hoodies in their sizes. After buying the hoodies, they went to the video game store to find Rogan.

An hour later, Rogan and the girls walked out of the mall.

"Well, I gotta get going. I'll see you guys later!" Rogan said.

"Alright! Bye Rogan!" Wendy waved to him.

"See ya!" Tiana smiled at him.

Once Rogan was out of sight, Wendy and Tiana hid behind a building and put on their hoodies. Covering their heads with their hoods, they walked through the city. Tiana glanced around nervously as she walked next to Wendy. After a minute went by, the girls arrived at a drugstore.

"Alright. Let's hurry." Wendy whispered as they walked inside.

Tiana nodded and looked through the aisles with Wendy. After a couple minutes of searching, they found what they needed.

"Here we go!" Wendy whispered again.

Tiana nervously grabbed the item and followed Wendy to the counter. She handed it to the cashier, making her raise an eyebrow. Wendy shot the cashier an angry look when she noticed Tiana looking away in shame. After paying for the item, Wendy grabbed the bag and handed it to Tiana. And then, the two left the store.

"I could've paid for it, Wendy." Tiana said.

Wendy smiled. "It's fine. I didn't mind."

Tiana trembled as they continued walking. Noticing this, Wendy gently squeezed her shoulder and smiled.

"Don't worry, Tia. Everything's going to be fine."

Tiana trembled more. "But what if I'm—"

"We don't know that yet. But if you are, you'll get through this." Wendy smiled. "It's scary, but you and Iggy will be fine." Wendy reassured her.

Pretty soon they reached the castle. The girls pulled off their hoods and walked inside. After walking down the hall, they made it to the nearest bathroom.

"I'll wait out here for you." Wendy said to her.

Tiana nodded again. "Thanks."

As Tiana went into the bathroom, Wendy leaned against the wall.

"I wonder what the results are going to be."

Tiana left the bathroom a few minutes later. When Wendy looked at her, she began to feel uneasy when she noticed the tears in Tiana's eyes.

"Tiana..." Wendy hesitated. "What—"

Before Wendy could ask her question, Tiana rushed over to her and hugged her tightly as she sobbed.

"T-Tiana...?"

"Wendy..." Tiana sobbed more. "I-I'm pregnant!"

Wendy hugged Tiana and rubbed her shell, trying to calm her down.

"Tia, it's going to be alright. I promise." Wendy whispered.

"Tia? What's wrong?" The two heard a familiar voice say.

Wendy and Tiana turned their heads to see Iggy standing in the hallway.

This chapter was supposed to be up yesterday, but I got tired lol. I'm gonna work on the next chapter soon!

I hope you all like this chapter :)

Wendy and Tiana stared at Iggy as he walked closer to them. He looked more concerned when he noticed the tears streaming down Tiana's cheeks. Tiana stared at her boyfriend wide eyed as he stood in front of her and Wendy.

Iggy frowned. "Is everything alright? Why are you crying?"

"Iggy, Tia has something very important to tell you." Wendy said.

Wendy turned and started to walk away, but Tiana quickly grabbed her hand. When Wendy faced her, she saw Tiana shaking.

"Please stay..." Tiana whispered.

With every second that went by, Iggy's concern grew more.

"Tia? What's wrong?" Iggy asked her calmly, hoping that would help her relax.

Thankfully, it did. After taking a few deep breaths, Tiana stopped shaking. Sadly, she still looked scared.

Tiana then said, "Iggy... I know why I've been acting differently lately."

"Really? What is it?" He inquired.

"R-Remember when we hung out at the party?" She asked.

Iggy nodded. Tiana glanced around the hallway, making sure that no one else was around to hear what she's going to say. Tiana inhaled deeply once more before looking into Iggy's eyes.

"Iggy... I... I'm pregnant!" Tiana finally said. She avoided looking at him, instead focusing on the floor.

For several minutes, the three of them were silent. Iggy stared at his girlfriend wide eyed. Pregnant? Did... did he hear that right? No. That can't be right! He misheard Tiana... right?

"Y-You're... what? You... you are?" Iggy stuttered.

Wendy gave a nod. "Yes. She just took a test."

Iggy's heart pounded in his chest. He slowly sat on the floor, still in disbelief. After a minute of silence, he spoke again.

"How far along are you?" He wondered.

"Two weeks." Tiana replied.

Iggy sighed and looked up at Tiana. He smiled at her and said, "Everything's going to be ok."

Lemmy giggled as he and Ludwig made their way to the castle's front doors. He went to Koopa Town to hang out with a few friends earlier today while Ludwig returned from Meringue Clouds. Ludwig looked over at his younger brother and chuckled.

"I take it you had a great time?" Ludwig asked.

Lemmy grinned. "Yep! We went bowling and I got second place!"

"That's great, Lemmy." Ludwig smiled and pushed open the doors. "I'm glad you had fun."

The two brothers proceeded inside the castle and down the hall. When they turned to their right, they saw Wendy, Iggy, and Tiana in that hallway. Iggy was sitting on the floor while the girls were standing near him.

"Huh? What are they up to?" Lemmy asked.

Ludwig shrugged. The two approached their friend and siblings out of curiousity. The three turned to face them when they heard Ludwig's footsteps and Lemmy's ball getting closer.

"What's going on?" Ludwig asked.

Lemmy saw tears rolling down Tiana's cheeks and frowned. "Tia? Why are you crying? Did Roy say something mean to you again?"

Tiana shook her head.

Lemmy smiled a little. "Well, I'm glad Roy didn't do anything to upset you. But, what's wrong?"

Iggy looked up at his older brothers. "Tiana... Tiana just found out that she's... pregnant."

Lemmy's eyes grew wide and Ludwig gasped after hearing the big news.

"A-Are you serious?" Lemmy asked.

"Yes." Wendy, Iggy, and Tiana responded in unison.

Ludwig trembled in anger as he glared at them. "Did you two even listen to the conversation that I had with you before!?" Ludwig stepped closer. "Lemmy and I have been very concerned about your behavior towards Tiana for some time now, Iggy!" Ludwig growled. "I should've kept a closer eye on you both at the party!"

Lemmy sat on his yellow ball, rubbing his head. "I can't believe this is actually happening..." He let out a sigh. "I really hoped it wouldn't have gotten this far."

Wendy rubbed Tiana's shoulder, comforting her. Tiana slowly calmed down again, but a few more tears fell.

Ludwig sighed and looked at the young couple. "You guys have to tell your parents."

Iggy jumped from his sitting position after hearing that.

"NO!" Iggy and Tiana said in unison.

Ludwig looked at the two in confusion. "No?"

"We can't tell them yet! I'm not ready!" Tiana answered.

"And they're gonna be extremely mad." Iggy shuttered. "I'm afraid of how Mom and Dad will react..."

"You two have to tell them eventually." said Ludwig. Lemmy and Wendy nodded in agreement.

Iggy sighed. "You're right." He held Tiana's hand and gently squeezed it. "Maybe we'll tell them in a couple days."

Ludwig replied, "I guess. As long as you tell them."

After calming down, the group left the hallway and made their way to the game room to relax with the rest of the Koopalings.

If I have time tomorrow, the next chapter will be up then!

Started working on this chapter last night! I hope you all like this!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Three months have passed since Iggy, Tiana, Wendy, Ludwig, and Lemmy found out that Tiana was pregnant. Her stomach was beginning to show, so Tiana decided to wear baggy clothes to hide it. She still wasn't ready to tell their parents. Today, she wore a gray hoodie and matching sweat pants. A month after learning that Tiana was pregnant, Iggy and Tiana found out that Rogan and Karrisa were also expecting a baby. Tiana and Iggy decided to not tell them about their baby, fearing that someone would overhear.

At the moment, Iggy and Tiana were in the game room watching a movie. Iggy sighed as he turned to face her.

"Tia... we really gotta tell them soon." He said.

Tiana also sighed. "I know, Iggy. I'm just... our parents are gonna be really mad at us."

"They're gonna be mad when they find out you're pregnant AND that we waited to tell them." Iggy said.

Tiana sighed again. "You're right." She smiled softly at him. "Alright. We can tell them tomorrow."

Iggy returned her smile. "Alright."

Iggy and Tiana leaned in and kissed, their faces beet red.

The next day after school, Iggy and Tiana decided to visit Soda Jungle. Tiana always loved this place! Even though the poison and Ghost House made her nervous, she loved the plants and especially the inside of Iggy's castle. After finishing their homework, the couple played a board game for a bit. Iggy glanced at the time on his phone and frowned.

"I think we should tell them now." He said.

Tiana sighed. "Yeah."

Iggy helped her up and held her hand as they walked towards the front doors of the castle. Once they were outside, Iggy helped Tiana into his Clown Car and hopped inside after her. They then flew away from Soda Jungle.

"So, whose parents do you want to tell first?" Iggy asked her.

Tiana replied, "Mine. I don't want you to go to the castle, then to my house, and back to the castle." Tiana giggled. "We flew past both already going to Soda Jungle."

Iggy chuckled nervously. "Yeah, that's true."

Iggy and Tiana eventually reached Darkland after flying over the many worlds. They flew past Neo Bowser City and Koopa Town. As Tiana looked down at the homes and buildings, she whimpered.

"I'm really scared..." said Tiana.

Iggy responded, "I'm a little scared, too. But everything will be alright."

They soon reached Koopa Valley and eventually landed in front of her house. Iggy got out of the Clown Car and helped Tiana out of it.

"Are you ready?" Iggy asked.

Tiana took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, I am."

The two walked towards the front door and Tiana unlocked it. She turned the knob and opened the door, walking inside with Iggy right behind her. They made their way to the living room where Tiana's family were sitting and watching tv. Along with her parents and younger sister, Iggy saw Tiana's two younger brothers, Mark and Joey. The two boys had the same golden skin as Tiana, Jenny, and most Koopas. However, unlike his father and siblings, Mark's hair was brown rather than black.

Joey looked toward the entrance and smiled. "Hi, sis!"

Tiana smiled nervously. "H-Hey, Joey."

Mark raised an eyebrow. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Tiana said.

Iggy looked at Tiana's parents. "Um, Tia and I have something to tell you guys."

Tyra gave them a worried glance. "What is it?"

Tiana's gaze shifted to her siblings. "Jenny, you, Mark, and Joey should go to your room. I, um, we need to talk to Mom and Dad alone."

"Aww seriously?" Jenny asked.

When their older sister nodded, Jenny, Joey, and Mark stood up and sighed. The three kids then left the living room.

"Hey, Jenny? We're gonna eavesdrop, right? I wanna know what's so important!" Joey whispered.

Jenny whispered back, "Of course we are!"

The kids walked upstairs and Jenny opened her bedroom door. Once her brothers went inside, Jenny walked in her room and left her door slightly open so they were able to hear.

Back downstairs, Tiana took a deep breath and looked at her parents.

"Ok... like Iggy said, we have something to tell you." Tiana nervously twisted the bottom of her hoodie. "It's really important. Please don't be mad."

"What's going on, Tia?" Tony asked.

"Well... have you guys noticed that I've been acting differently lately?" After her parents nodded, Tiana continued. "A-And... have you noticed that my stomach's been getting a little bigger?"

Tyra's eyes widened as she realized what's going on. "Oh my gosh..."

"Tia... don't tell me what I think you're going to tell me!" Tony exclaimed.

Iggy blurted out, "T-Tia's pregnant!"

Iggy grew terrified as Tony stood up from the couch.

"THIS HAD BETTER BE A JOKE!" Tony screamed, making Iggy and Tiana more terrified.

Tyra approached her husband. "Tony, please calm down!"

Tony screamed again. "TIANA! TELL ME RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS A PRANK!"

"D-Daddy, we're being serious! We're having a baby! Please calm down!" Tiana exclaimed.

Despite the fact that he's taller than Tiana, Iggy attempted to hide behind her. Tony took a few deep breaths, slowly calming down. Once he was calm, Tony sat back down and stared at the young couple.

"When did you find out?" He asked them.

Tiana replied, "Two weeks after that party."

Iggy added, still trembling in fear, "Now Tiana's three months pregnant."

Tony sighed and looked at the floor. "I can't believe this..."

"I've always wanted grandchildren, but I didn't think it'd happen so soon!" Tyra said.

For a few minutes, everyone was quiet. Then, Tyra spoke again.

"Are you two ready to become parents?"

Tiana replied, "W-We're still nervous, but we're ready to try."

Tyra smiled. "Well, we're going to help you."

"Really?" Tiana asked.

Tony sighed. "Yeah. I still can't believe this is happening, but we're going to help you."

"Thank you." The two said in unison.

"Hang on. Does King Bowser and Queen Clawdia know about this?"

Iggy shook his head. "No. We came here first."

Tony stood up again. "Well, we all need to go to the castle and tell them."

Back upstairs, Tiana's siblings stared at each other in shock.

"Man, Dad was really angry." Mark said.

Joey replied, "Yeah. I mean, he's been mad a few times, but not like this!"

"I know! I-I can't believe Tia's pregnant!" Jenny exclaimed.

Mark gasped. "Wait. That means," he stared at his siblings in shock again, "we're gonna be uncles! And you're gonna be an aunt, Jenny!"

Jenny sighed as she sat on her bed. "Yeah... I still can't believe it."

"Kids!" They heard their father yell from downstairs.

"Hm? Dad needs us?" Mark wondered.

Jenny got to her feet and went to her door. She opened it all the way and the three left her room. They got to the middle of the stairs to see Tony standing nearby.

"Daddy? Did you need us?" Jenny asked him.

"We're all going to the castle. Come on down." Tony replied.

"Wait, all of us? Can't us three stay here?" Jenny asked.

"No! We're not leaving two twelve-year-olds and a six-year-old home alone." Tony replied.

Jenny pouted. "Ok."

One by one, everyone walked out of the house. Iggy and Tiana got back in the Clown Car while the others got inside Tyra's car. Once they were inside, they made their way to the castle.

Iggy shuddered. "Your dad can be really scary sometimes..."

"Yeah." Tiana replied. "Now I'm really worried about how your parents will react."

Iggy sighed. "Me too..."

They made it to the castle not too long after. Everyone got out of the vehicles and headed to the front doors. Iggy pushed them open and everyone followed them inside.

Joey chuckled. "This place always looks so cool!"

Iggy inhaled deeply. "They might be... oh!"

Iggy peeked inside of the throne room and saw Bowser and Clawdia inside. After taking a deep breath, he and the others entered.

Clawdia glanced up from her papers and smiled, but her grin vanished as soon as she saw their expressions.

"What happened? Is everything alright?" She inquired.

Tony stepped forward and bowed. "Your Highnesses, our children have something to tell you."

Bowser set down his own papers and crossed his arms. "What is it?"

Outside in the hallway, the Koopa Troopa servant sighed as he dusted off a vase. Once he was finished with that, he walked down the hall to wipe down a small table near the wall.

"Man, this stinks..." He muttered. "Nothing interesting happens anymore!"

As he walked down the hallway and cleaned, he heard a few voices coming from the throne room.

"Hm? I thought Lord Bowser and Queen Clawdia were the only ones in the throne room today."

Growing curious, the Koopa quietly walked closer to the throne room. He peeked inside to see Iggy, Tiana, and Tiana's family standing in front of the King and Queen.

"What's going on...?" He wondered.

Then, he gasped when he heard Iggy speak.

"Tiana is... three months pregnant."

Clawdia gasped. "Are you serious?"

"Yes." Iggy replied.

The Koopa Troopa covered his mouth as he hid behind the wall. Iggy and Tiana stared at the floor as Bowser and Clawdia walked over to them.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesties." Tiana said. "You two probably hate me."

Then, Iggy and Tiana softly gasped as Clawdia pulled them both into a hug.

"Honey, I'm not mad, and we don't hate you. I'm just shocked."

"I am too." Bowser sighed. "This isn't gonna be easy, but we're gonna help ya."

With a broad smile on his face, the Koopa Troopa turned around and quietly walked away.

He whispered to himself, "I have to tell someone!"

Bowser glanced around the throne room at everyone. "We need to keep the pregnancy a secret."

"Why, Your Highness?" Tyra asked.

Bowser responded, "Iggy and Tiana aren't ready for the harsh spotlight. I know how brutal the media and public can be." He patted Iggy's shoulder. "Also, I wanna give these two time to process everything privately before telling everyone. A scandal will definitely happen if the whole Mushroom World finds out."

"Lord Bowser," Jenny spoke up. "Can we at least tell our family? Like our grandparents or aunts and uncles?"

Bowser pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"You can, but they have to promise to not speak about it publicly or leak anything." Bowser looked at Iggy and Tiana again. "Does anyone else know?"

Iggy adjusted his glasses. "Only Wendy, Lemmy, and Ludwig."

Bowser sighed. "I'll have to tell the rest of the kids, Clawdeen, and her family later."

Later on after Tiana and her family went home and Iggy went to his room, Bowser sat in his room looking through an old photo album. He was currently looking at a photo of himself as a teenager, holding Ludwig as a baby. Clawdia walked inside and sat down next to him.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"I can't believe we're going to be grandparents soon." He looked at another photo of Baby Ludwig. "Remember when me, you, Clawdeen, and Langston had to deal with the paparazzi? Remember how scared we were?"

"Oh yeah. We all got so much hate." Clawdia replied.

Bowser closed the photo album and put it in a drawer.

"Everything will be fine. Iggy and Tiana will get through this."

After that, Bowser and Clawdia decided to rest for a bit.

That's it for now!

Hello! I hope you all like this one!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Tiana didn't say anything on the way home. As she gazed out of the car window, she reflected on the events of the previous few minutes. She and Iggy finally told their parents about the baby. She was still shaking from the moment, mainly from her father yelling and screaming at them. At least Bowser and Clawdia were more calm about the situation. Tiana closed her eyes and sighed.

"Tiana? Are you ok?" Joey asked.

Tiana turned to look at him and smiled. "I'm alright. I guess I'm a little tired."

"You should go to your room and rest." Tony said.

"Alright."

Everyone sat in silence as Tyra continued driving. Eventually, they made it back home and got out of the car. Once Tony unlocked the front door, everyone walked inside and the kids went upstairs. Tiana frowned a little as she heard her parents talking about the whole thing. Her siblings looked on as she walked inside of her room and shut her door.

"Should we do something?" Mark pondered.

Jenny replied, "Maybe we should leave Tiana alone for a bit."

Tiana sighed once more as she sat on her bed. She glanced around her room and smiled a little when her gaze fell on her desk. Mainly on the Rose Quartz that Iggy gave her two years ago. It was still very pretty and she adored it. Tiana decided to take a nap and lay down on her bed, closing her eyes.

Then, her phone rang. Tiana opened her eyes and took out her phone, seeing that it was a video call. A video call from Sharon.

"Hm?" Tiana answered the call, a little curious.

Not only did she see Sharon, but she also saw Sharon's siblings and the Koopalings in the video call.

"Iggy, is it true?" Sharon asked.

"Yeah, it's true." Iggy replied.

"Oh my gosh..." Sandra said. "I can't believe it!"

"Me neither." Austin replied. "How did Iggy have sex before I did?"

Austin's question caused some of the kids to laugh, while others, like Iggy, Sandra, and Tiana, rolled their eyes.

Ludwig glared at his younger cousin. "Austin! This is a serious matter!"

Austin giggled. "Yeah, you're right."

After calming down, John asked Iggy, "Why didn't you use protection?"

"Yeah." Ken added. "You would've avoided this whole thing."

Iggy's face reddened. "I, uh... didn't think about it."

Alex snorted. "And you're supposed to be one of the smarter ones out of us."

"Alex! Leave him alone!" Sandra said to her sister. She then smiled. "Well, I believe you and Tiana will be great parents."

Tiana's face turned red. "Thank you, Sandy. I think we will too."

In Bowser's castle, the guards and servants were going about their daily duties. Near the entrance of the castle, a few Koopa Troopas, a Lakitu, and a Dry Bones were cleaning. The Lakitu dusted off the portraits that the Koopa Troopas and Dry Bones weren't able to reach. As they cleaned, they heard someone running. They turned to see a Koopa Troopa. He paused when he saw the maid from before. After catching his breath, he walked over to her.

"Are you ok?" The maid asked.

"You're not going to believe this!" The Koopa Troopa exclaimed. "Prince Iggy and his girlfriend are having a baby!"

The hall erupted in gasps.

The maid's eyes widened after she gasped. "Is it true?"

He nodded. "Yes. I overheard them telling King Bowser and Queen Clawdia about it!"

The Lakitu floated down towards them. "Whoa! How far along is she?"

"Three months." The Koopa Troopa replied.

"Three months!?" The maid repated loudly.

The Koopa shushed her and looked around. After seeing that none of the royal family or Kamek were around, he relaxed.

Another Koopa Troopa laughed. "Well, you did say that you wanted something interesting to happen."

The Koopa laughed along with him. "Right!"

Astonished by the news, the maid stared at them.

An hour later, the news began to spread across the castle, from the guards, to more servants, and now the mid-level staff.

"Did you hear?" A Spiny said. "Prince Iggy is going to be a dad!"

A Magikoopa gasped. "Really?!"

"Yeah!" A Sledge Bro. replied. "One of the Goombas told me!"

"I always thought that Prince Roy would've been the one to become a teen dad. Not Prince Iggy." A Fire Bro. said.

A Boom Boom chuckled. "I thought the same thing."

An elderly Koopa Paratroopa rubbed her head. "I remember when Lord Bowser and Queen Clawdeen became parents a year apart from each other." She sighed. "Poor things. They don't know how serious this is."

It was time for the dayshift guards to leave that evening and for the nightshift guards to take over. A Hammer Bro. stretched his arms as he made his way to his house in Koopa Valley. He chuckled to himself as he thought about the big news a Goomba told him. He arrived at his house really quickly and entered. He saw his wife, a Koopa Troopa, watching tv in the living room. Smiling, he sat down next to her and gave her a kiss.

"Welcome home! How was your day?" His wife asked.

"Pretty good. Interesting too! You won't believe what I heard."

"Oh?" His wife raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

The Hammer Bro. leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Hopefully the next chapter will be a little longer!

Hiya! I finally finished this chapter!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Three days have gone by since Iggy and Tiana told their parents their big secret. They were still pretty shaken up after it, particularly by Tony's response. But, they were also glad to finally let the secret out to their families. After all, Iggy and Tiana couldn't keep the pregnancy a secret forever. This morning, the Koopa family had finished eating breakfast together and had time to relax.

"What are you guys gonna do, Mom?" Lemmy asked Clawdia.

"Hmm," Clawdia thought for a moment. "I guess we could watch tv or something. What do you think, Bowser?"

Bowser shrugged. "Sure. I could also come up with my next plan."

Clawdia frowned. "For taking over the Mushroom Kingdom?"

"Yeah! I know we can do it!" He replied, a huge grin on his face.

Clawdia mumbled as she followed her husband to the living room. "Why do you even bother with that stupid princess...?"

The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. headed for the game room. Larry opened the door and went straight to the tv and Nintendo Switch. He sat on the floor and looked through the video games.

"Hey! I haven't played a fighting game in awhile!" Larry put the game in and grabbed a controller. "Who else wants to play?"

"Ooh! Me!" Junior excitedly said, waving his hand.

Larry handed Junior another controller and started the game. Ludwig sat down on the couch and picked up a book, opening it to the first chapter. Sitting next to him, Wendy took out her compact mirror and checked her makeup. Roy and Morton sat down at the table in front of the couch and decided to arm wrestle. Next to them on the floor, Lemmy pulled out an old board game.

"You wanna play, Iggy?" He asked.

Iggy smiled. "Sure!"

Lemmy giggled as he pulled out the board and pieces. As he set everything up, a thought came to him.

"How's Tiana doing?"

Iggy rolled the dice and moved his piece. "Oh, I talked to her last night. She was feeling ok."

Lemmy smiled. "That's good!" He rolled the dice and moved his piece up one space. "Y'know, I'm kinda excited about being an uncle!"

Morton chuckled. "Me too!"

Roy grinned as he pinned down Morton's hand, winning the match. Morton frowned a little as Roy celebrated.

After putting away her mirror, Wendy looked down at Iggy. "By the way, what names are you guys thinking of?"

"Oh. We haven't really thought of any." Iggy said. He chuckled nervously. "We were too busy keeping the pregnancy a secret."

"I wonder how long Dad wants to keep it a secret before telling everyone." Larry said, his eyes glued to the screen.

Iggy nodded. "Me too."

Two minutes went by and the kids were still having a good time. Then, Kamek teleported into the game room. A few of the kids looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, noticing the anxious expression on his face.

"Are you ok, Kamek?" Lemmy asked him.

"L-Lord Bowser needs you all in the living room." Kamek replied.

Bowser Jr. whined. "Seriously? I'm trying to beat Larry at this game!"

Larry laughed. "You won't!"

"It's extremely important!" Kamek exclaimed. "You all need to go there now!"

Larry paused the game. "Alright, Kamek."

Kamek then teleported out of the room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and made their way out of the game room.

"I wonder what the issue is." Wendy said as they walked down the hallway.

Roy shrugged. "Dad probably thought of a new kidnapping plan or something."

"I don't know." Iggy rubbed the back of his head. "Kamek looked really freaked out. Maybe it's something serious."

Everyone finally arrived in the living room to see Bowser and Clawdia sitting on the couch.

"Mom, Dad, what's going—"

Ludwig freezed as he looked at the tv. On screen was a female Koopa Troopa reporter with Iggy's and Tiana's photos in the corner.

"In a shocking development that's got the entire Mushroom World buzzing, sources have confirmed that Prince Iggy Koopa—yes, that Prince Iggy Koopa, middle child of King Bowser and Queen Clawdia—is expecting a child with his girlfriend, Tiana Koopa, at fifteen years old."

The room was dead silent as everyone stared at the tv in shock.

"Sources close to the royal family report that Tiana Koopa is three months pregnant."

Bowser growled as smoke billowed from his nose. Wendy placed a hand over her mouth.

"Oh my gosh! D-Did a servant overhear us talking in the throne room the other day?" Clawdia wondered.

Bowser chuckled dryly. "I wouldn't be surprised."

Iggy trembled as he stared at the tv screen. The secret is out. The whole kingdom knows. The whole Mushroom World knows! This can't be happening!

Bowser flipped through the channels, going through a few more news stations. From the Kingdom News Network to the Diamond City Broadcasting Network, each news channel talked about Tiana and Iggy.

Iggy snarled. "I can't believe this!" He clenched his fists, trembling more. "This is just fucking great!"

Clawdia stood and walked over to him. "Iggy, language." She pulled him into a hug.

Iggy returned his mother's hug. "I'm sorry." He whispered.

Iggy held onto his mother as she gently rubbed his shell. He wanted to cry so much, but didn't.

"What are we going to do?" Wendy wondered. "The media's going to harass all of us, maybe even Aunt Clawdeen and the others!"

Iggy pulled away from Clawdia and gasped. "Oh my God! Tiana! They'll probably harass her and her family too!"

As if on cue, Iggy's phone rang. He pulled it out of his shell and saw that Tiana was calling. He answered it and put the phone to his ear.

"Tiana? Are you alright?" He asked.

"Iggy, have you seen the news?" Tiana said.

Iggy frowned, hearing the panic and fear in her voice. "Yes. We're all watching it right now."

Hearing Tiana cry made Iggy's heart break. Clawdia heard Tiana through the phone and frowned.

"People are talking about us online." Tiana said.

Iggy nervously asked, "W-What are they saying?"

"T-They're calling you reckless and shameful and that you're following in your family's footsteps." Tiana cried harder. "They're calling me a gold-digger and saying that I'm just using you!" She wiped her tears away, but more fell. "They're also wondering if the baby is even yours!"

Iggy's jaw clenched and he trembled again. How dare they say those things about Tiana?!

"Iggy, honey? Let me talk to her." Clawdia said.

Iggy sighed. "Tia, my mom wants to talk to you."

Tiana sniffled. "A-Alright."

Iggy handed his phone to her.

"Tiana, everything is going to be alright. Try to take some deep breaths." Clawdia said.

After a few minutes, Tiana finally calmed down.

Clawdia then said, "Tiana, when your parents come home, I want you all to come to the castle."

"W-What about the paparazzi?" Tiana asked her.

Clawdia replied, "Just ignore them."

Tiana sighed. "Alright, Your Majesty."

Smiling, Clawdia said, "Everything will be ok."

Clawdia then returned the phone to Iggy. After letting out a breath, Iggy put the phone back to his ear.

"Try to rest, Tia. And ignore the idiots online."

Tiana said, "Alright."

After saying goodbye, Iggy and Tiana hung up.

I really hope this chapter was ok. I'll work on the next one next week hopefully!

Hello! I don't usually write on Mondays, but I got some time right now! I hope you all like this chapter!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"Tiana, how do you feel about becoming a teenage mom?" A Paratroopa asked her.

Tiana did her best to ignore the comments and questions as she followed her sister and parents out of the house and to the car. Once they got inside, her father pulled off and headed to the castle. Jenny looked out the window and watched as the crowd of photographers and reporters got smaller and smaller. She looked over at her older sister, who was also looking out of her window. Jenny took a deep breath. All of the attention... will the reporters follow them forever?

"This is crazy..." the girls heard their father murmur.

Tiana whimpered, catching her mother's attention.

"Don't worry, Tiana. It'll be fine."

Tiana sighed. Will it be fine? The entire world knows their secret and it caused a huge scandal, just like Ludwig warned her and Iggy. Now, all eyes are on them and their families. They were the center of attention. Everyone had an opinion on them and the situation.

Eventually, they made it to the castle. Sadly, more reporters and photographers were outside there as well. Tiana relaxed a little when she saw Iggy, Clawdia, and Bowser stepping outside. Her family exited the car and met up with them.

"I'm glad you all made it. Please, come inside." Clawdia said.

"Prince Iggy! Any comments on your upcoming baby?" A Goomba yelled out.

A Shy Guy asked, "Prince, are you going to marry her?"

Iggy's face flushed. "We're fifteen!"

Clawdia rubbed his back as everyone made their way inside the castle.

"Alright, here's what we're gonna do." Bowser said once they made it to the throne room. "Until the news dies down, our kids are going to be homeschooled."

"Yes!" Jenny cheered. The others either arched an eyebrow at her or frowned. Jenny cleared her throat. "Um, please continue, Your Highness."

Bowser smirked at Jenny and then looked back at Tony and Tyra. "We also want you guys to move a little closer to the castle. So that Iggy can help take care of the baby."

Clawdia added, "We'll also be placing a few guards outside of your house to keep you all safe."

Tiana let out a breath. "Thank you so much, Your Majesties."

"Yes, thank you for your support and help." Tyra added.

Bowser approached Tiana and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You're carrying part of my family now. No one's gonna touch you." He then looked at everyone. "I almost forgot! Clawdia and I are gonna make a public statement soon about all this."

Iggy nervously cleaned his glasses. Hopefully their public statement will help the situation die down quickly.

Later on, Iggy and Tiana went to the lab so that Iggy could fix one of his ray guns. Two Koopa Troopa guards stood outside of the lab, much to their annoyance. Iggy picked up a screwdriver and twisted one of the screws.

"I still think it'd be a lot easier if you guys just moved into the castle." Iggy said as he placed the screwdriver on the table.

"Me too." Tiana adjusted her glasses. "But it's four of us. Six when Joey and Mark visit. Plus, my dad doesn't want us alone in the same room again." Tiana sighed and gestured toward the lab door. "At least not without supervision."

As Iggy and Tiana glanced at the entrance, they noticed the two guards briefly peeking inside the lab. Iggy paused to think as he picked up a wrench.

"How about Amy?"

Tiana replied, "Nah. What about Aria or Adagio?"

Iggy shook his head. "No." He chuckled and looked at her. "Plus, those sound like names Ludwig would give his kids."

Tiana giggled. "Haha! You're right!"

Iggy continued to fix the ray gun, with Tiana passing him the tools that he needed.

"What?!" Wendy exclaimed. "You two seriously haven't picked out any names yet!?"

After dodging the paparazzi, Iggy and Wendy went over to Tiana's house the next day to visit her and help her pack up her things to move.

Tiana replied, "Well, we wanna find the perfect names!"

"You two better not name my niece or nephew anything stupid..." Jenny said as she walked past Tiana's room with a box of her games.

Tiana rolled her eyes at her sister and looked back at her boyfriend and friend.

"Well," Iggy looked at them. "why don't we have everyone write down names, and then we can look through them to find the names that we like?" He suggested.

Tiana squealed. "That's a great idea, Iggy!"

Iggy and Tiana sat together in the game room a few days later. Their families made their own lists of names that they liked and gave them to the teens. After setting down Morton's list, Tiana picked up another.

"Let's see..." Tiana looked through a few names on the page, but rolled her eyes at the sixth name. "Seriously, Roy? We're not naming our child Roy Jr.!"

Iggy shook his head and sighed as they heard his older brother laughing down the hallway. He should've known one of his siblings would've suggested their own names.

As Tiana went through another list, one name stuck out to her.

"Isadore?"

"Hm?" Iggy leaned over to look at the list in Tiana's hand.

"Isadore..." Tiana smiled. "I like this name."

"Oh yeah. It's nice!" Iggy replied.

Tiana smiled again. "Yeah! And maybe we can call him Izzy."

Iggy returned her smile. "Well, we decided on a boy name. All we need now is one for a girl."

Iggy picked up a list of names that Lemmy created. Among the nice names that he read were Candy, Poppy, and Sadie. Then, he noticed a name that looked familiar to him.

"Hey, Tia? Didn't your sister write this name down on her list too?"

Leaning over, Tiana examined the name on the paper. She went through the pile until she found Jenny's list. As she read through the names, she gasped.

"She did!" Tiana chuckled. "I guess Lemmy and Jenny think alike sometimes!"

Iggy stared at the name. "Y'know, I really like this name."

"Yeah. It's very pretty!" Tiana replied.

"So, we finally found the perfect names?" Iggy asked her.

Tiana gave Iggy a kiss and said, "Yep, we did!"

"So, Iggy and I chose the name Isadore if the baby's a boy!" Tiana said to everyone.

Later on, Iggy and Tiana gathered everyone to let them know that they found the perfect names.

Wendy grinned. "That's a name I wrote down!"

"And we love it, Wendy!" Tiana said.

"So, what did you guys pick for a girl?" Larry asked.

Iggy giggled. "It's a secret!"

Tiana smirked as the others looked disappointed by their decision.

"Was it one of the names I suggested?" Clawdia wondered.

"Sorry, Mom, but no." Iggy replied.

"Was it another one I wrote down?" Wendy asked, making Tiana shake her head.

Tiana said to her, "Nope. We'll tell everyone when the baby's here."

"Seriously!? That's not fair, you guys!" Jenny whined, making Tiana giggle.

Lemmy looked at them. "Can we at least get a hint?"

"Haha nope! You gotta wait!" Iggy laughed, making Lemmy and the others groan.

Gonna try to work on the next chapter tomorrow!

Hi! I hope you enjoy this!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Iggy woke up the next morning to the sound of his phone vibrating. He opened his eyes and slowly sat up. After stretching his arms, Iggy glanced over at his phone on his nightstand. He put on his glasses and picked up his phone. Iggy noticed that one of his social media apps had a lot of notifications when he looked at it.

"Huh? What's going on?" He wondered.

Iggy unlocked his phone and opened the app. The first thing he saw was an image of a newspaper. The headline read, "KOOPA SCANDAL ROCKS THE CASTLE!" Iggy rolled his eyes.

"Stupid tabloids..."

When he closed the app, Iggy noticed that he had a text message. He opened it to see that his cousin Ken was the one who sent it. Iggy clicked on the message and raised an eyebrow.

"There's another problem." Ken's message said.

Iggy texted back, "What is it?"

A few minutes later, Ken sent Iggy a link to a news article. When he read the headline, he gasped.

"Iggy Koopa: Teen Dad or Two-Timer? Shocking Photos Leak as Royal Scandal Grows!"

Underneath the headline showed a few edited photos of Iggy and his ex-girlfriend Ginger Koopers together. Iggy gazed incredulously at the picture. He went back to his text messages and found Ken's name.

"Thanks for showing me. I'll take care of it." He told Ken.

Before Iggy could do anything, Tiana texted him. He opened it to see the same news article that Ken sent him.

Iggy replied to her and said, "The images are fake."

"I know. I trust you." Tiana sent back.

Iggy went back to his social media app and made a post that said, "The images are fake."

Sighing, Iggy scrolled through his messages on the app until he found Ginger's username. Once he opened it, he sent her a message.

"Did you edit those pictures?"

Ginger replied back, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know what I'm talking about! It's all over the news!"

After sending a laughing emoji, Ginger replied, "It's not a big deal."

Growling, Iggy sent back, "It IS a big deal!" Iggy then sent her another message. "Leave Tiana and I alone."

Before Ginger could reply back, Iggy blocked her.

"Oh my goodness! I can't believe this!" Clawdia exclaimed.

The rest of the Koopa family woke up and sat in the living room as Iggy told them about the news article and the edited pictures.

"I didn't think Ginger would do something like that!" Lemmy said.

Wendy sighed. "She obviously just wants attention."

"And to make Tiana mad." Iggy added.

Bowser sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "At least your mom and I will be making that public statement today."

Iggy asked, "What time are you guys making it?"

"In two hours." Clawdia replied.

Iggy sighed. "I wish you guys could do it now."

Clawdia gave her son a smile. "Don't worry, dear. It's going to be fine."

The paparazzi and journalists stood outside of Bowser's castle two hours later. Today, their king and queen were going to confirm or deny the rumors about Iggy becoming a teen dad at fifteen years old. Five minutes went by and Bowser and Clawdia stepped out of the castle. Photos were taken and people began to ask a lot of questions. Clawdia was the first to speak.

"Yes. The rumors are true. Our son, Prince Iggy, is going to be a father." More people took photos and whispered amongst themselves. "This wasn't expected, but it is reality. We stand behind him, and behind the young woman involved. We are handling the matter privately and respectfully."

Bowser then said, "Let me make something very clear: what's happening in my family is our business. My son made a mistake, but he's stepping up—and no one, not the press, not the other kingdoms, not the royal courts—has the right to turn this into a circus." Bowser looked at everyone in the crowd and continued. "You want a scandal? Go dig somewhere else. You come after Iggy, or Tiana, or their child—you'll answer to me."

After a moment of silence, Bowser spoke again.

"I was a teen dad. And I'll admit, I was a scared one. I messed up a lot, and I raised my kids the best I could. Now Iggy's in the same place I was... and I'll be damned if I let the world tear him down for it." Clawdia placed a hand on Bowser's arm. As he relaxed, Bowser talked again. "He's got a long road ahead, and it's not going to be easy. But I'm proud of him for not running from it. For standing by her."

Bowser sighed. "My son's not your tabloid headline. If you respect the crown, you'll respect our privacy."

Back inside the castle, Iggy was sitting in his room talking to Tiana on the phone.

"Are you watching the press conference, Tia?" Iggy asked.

"Yep! Bowser is so cool!" Tiana said.

Iggy chuckled. "Yeah, he is!" He then sighed. "Now, let's hope that everyone leaves us alone."

If I got time tomorrow, I'll work on the next chapter :D

Been working on this all day and this chapter is finally finished!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

The photographers and paparazzi gradually left everyone alone as the days passed. Mostly out of fear of Bowser's wrath. To be safe, Bowser and Clawdia still decided to keep a few guards outside of Tiana's house. Iggy helped Tiana get out of his Clown Car and they walked inside of the castle. Today, their Mushroom Kingdom friends were coming over to visit. Though a little anxious, Tiana was thrilled to see Jasmine and the other girls.

They only learned about the pregnancy when the news leaked, as Tiana and the Koopalings never told them about it. The girls did call and text to make sure she was alright, but they haven't seen her in person thanks to the reporters. Tiana sighed when they arrived in the game room. Why was she feeling nervous? They were her friends! They wouldn't judge her for this.

Iggy and Tiana sat down on the couch next to each other. Lemmy was already inside, watching tv. He looked over at them and smiled.

"Hey guys! I just talked to Yasmine. They're almost here!" He said.

Iggy replied, "Great!"

The rest of the Koopalings arrived in the game room a few minutes later. And after them, Jasmine, Kacey, Yasmine, and Stacey made it.

Jasmine looked at her friends and smiled. "Hi everyone!"

The Koopalings either waved or said "hey" to her. The four girls then walked over to Iggy and Tiana.

"Hi, you two. How have you been?" Kacey asked.

Iggy chuckled. "Pretty good. Glad the reporters aren't bothering us."

Jasmine gave Tiana a smile. "How are you feeling, Tia?"

"Well, I'm feeling alright at the moment." Tiana answered.

Jasmine nodded. "That's good!"

The girls took a seat and watched tv with the others. Tiana let out a breath and smiled.

"Why was I even worrying? They're my friends! They weren't going to judge me! I mean, I wouldn't judge them if they were in my position."

When Lemmy's show ended, everyone agreed to watch a movie. Lemmy looked through the different movies, but couldn't figure out what to watch.

"Hmm..." Lemmy looked around at the others. "What do you guys wanna watch?"

"Romance!" Wendy cheered.

"No way! We gotta watch a horror movie!" Larry exclaimed.

Roy shrugged. "Anything but romance."

"How about a horror comedy movie?" Jasmine suggested.

Tiana smiled. "Yeah! I like those!"

Lemmy grinned and said, "Ok!"

After finding a good movie, Lemmy pressed the play button and everyone watched. Despite her best efforts to focus, Tiana's thoughts kept returning to her and Iggy's baby. What were they having? Who would the baby resemble more? Would people judge them even more once the baby arrived?

Larry yawned and stretched his arms. "Man, I loved that movie!"

Jasmine chuckled. "Yeah! It'll always be funny to me!"

Stacey sighed and smiled at Iggy and Tiana. "I still can't believe you two are going to be parents in a few months."

Tiana laughed uneasily. "Yeah. I'm pretty nervous."

Iggy smiled at Tiana. "We'll be alright, Tia."

Jasmine giggled. "I think it'll be interesting and cute to hear your kid call Ludwig 'Uncle Ludwig' when they're older."

Ludwig blushed and looked away as he grumbled.

"Koopas lay eggs, right?" Yasmine asked.

"Yep." Morton replied.

"Wow! That's very interesting!" Kacey exclaimed. "You know, the rest of us should really do more research on Koopa pregnancies."

Jasmine chuckled again. "Why do research when we can ask the Koopalings, Kamek, or even Bowser and Clawdia?"

As if on cue, Clawdia entered the game room.

"Hello! I just came to check on you all." She said.

"We're alright, Mom." Lemmy replied.

Clawdia smiled and looked at Tiana. "Tiana, are you feeling alright? Do you need anything?"

Tiana answered with a smile, "I'm feeling alright, Queen Clawdia. I don't need anything at the moment."

Clawdia nodded and turned around. Before she could take one step out of the door, Kacey stopped her.

"Wait, Clawdia! Can I ask you something?"

Clawdia turned back around. "Of course!" She walked inside the room and took a seat next to Kacey. "What's your question?"

Kacey asked her, "What happens when a female Koopa is ready to give birth?"

Tiana's eyes widened in horror. "What?! Kacey, why is that on your mind?!"

Surprisingly, Tiana and Roy were on the same page.

Roy looked at his human girlfriend with a raised eyebrow. "Why do you wanna know about that?"

Kacey giggled. "What? I'm curious! Plus, Jazzy did say we should ask one of you instead of doing research."

Clawdia laughed and said, "Well, the Koopa's body will feel very warm and heavy. When the feeling gets stronger, it means that it's time to lay the egg." Clawdia moved a strand of pink hair behind her ear. "The warmth is sometimes mistaken for indigestion."

"Whoa! That's interesting!" Stacey exclaimed.

"The Koopa will also feel more irritable." Clawdia laughed. "I've snapped at Bowser during each of my pregnancies."

As everyone laughed, Tiana began to squirm.

"What else happens?" Jasmine wondered.

"Once the egg is laid, it's placed inside of an incubator until the baby is ready to hatch." Clawdia explained. She then added, "A Magikoopa can use their magic to make sure that the baby inside is healthy and find out the gender."

The four human girls were amazed by the information that Clawdia gave them. Then, much to Tiana's horror, Yasmine asked a question that she never wanted to think about.

"Are there any complications with Koopa pregnancies?"

Clawdia frowned. "Yes. Along with miscarriages, some Koopas go through Egg Binding, where the female Koopa can't pass the egg after hours of trying." Clawdia sighed. "It can lead to death for both the egg and the mother."

The girls all frowned at the final information. Clawdia looked over at Tiana and Iggy, who were trembling and sweating.

"D-Don't worry, you two! Everything will be alright and Tiana and the baby will be safe!" Clawdia reassured them.

Iggy and Tiana slowly relaxed after that.

"You're right, Mom." Iggy said.

Clawdia got to her feet and walked to the door. Before she left, she glanced at her son and his girlfriend.

"Oh! By the way, would you two like for Kamek to tell you the gender of the baby once Tiana lays the egg?" She asked.

Iggy and Tiana looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Clawdia.

"We want to be surprised." Iggy said.

Clawdia nodded. "Alright."

After that, Clawdia walked out of the game room.

Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to work on the next chapter :)

Once again, I've been working on this chapter all day and now it's the next day lol. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

A month went by and Tiana was now four months pregnant. Due to the scandal, all of the children were homeschooled; however, they would return to school after everything goes back to normal. Kammy was ordered to be Tiana's teacher for the time being. After finishing her language arts work, Kammy smiled and picked up the next lesson.

"Now let's move on to Geometry." She said.

As Kammy began to explain the lesson, Tiana began to zone out.

"I wonder what our baby will look like. Will they have my eye color? Will they have Iggy's hair color? What if they look similar to our parents? That'd be interesting."

"Tiana? Are you paying attention?" Kammy asked.

Tiana blushed and smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head. "I-I'm sorry, Kammy. I was just thinking about everything." She picked up her pencil. "Can you explain the first question again, please?"

Kammy sighed and smiled. "Well, that's it for today."

"Thank you for your help, Kammy."

"You're welcome, dear." Kammy picked up her broom. "Well, I should get going now."

"Wait!" Kammy turned around when Tiana stopped her. Tiana pushed back a strand of hair and asked, "Um, I was wondering if you knew if the nursery was finished?"

Kammy chuckled softly. "It almost was the last time I checked."

Tiana nodded. "Ok. Thank you for your help again!"

After saying goodbye, Tiana watched Kammy fly out of her house and towards the Magma Kingdom.

Today was a beautiful day in the Mushroom Kingdom. In Toad Town, some of the Toads and humans were out having fun, shopping, working, or just relaxing. Two Yoshis were sitting together under a tree eating fruit. At Princess Peach's castle, Peach was standing outside with two Toad guards near the front doors. She smiled as she saw Mario and Luigi walking down the path toward her castle. To her right, Daisy was running down another path with a huge grin on her face.

"Hey, Peach!" Daisy greeted her after catching her breath.

"Heya, Princess!" Mario said once he and Luigi arrived.

Peach smiled at her friends. "Hello! Come on in!"

The two guards opened the doors for them and everyone entered the castle. Peach led them to the living room and everyone took a seat.

"So, what do you all want to do?" Peach asked them.

"Well, we could watch a movie." Daisy suggested.

"We're going to need popcorn." Luigi said.

Daisy nodded. "And sodas!"

Peach giggled. "Alright. Mario, would you mind helping me get everything."

Mario stood up. "Not at all, Peach!"

Luigi and Daisy looked on as Mario and Peach left the living room.

"Alright! We're back!" Mario said, carrying sodas into the living room.

Peach placed the bowl of popcorn on the table and picked up the remote. She switched on the tv and looked for a good movie to watch. As she went through the channels, she landed on the Kingdom News Network. The two Toads on the screen were currently reporting on the buildings that were being rebuilt thanks to Bowser's last invasion. Peach sighed and shook her head.

"Let's hope he doesn't attack again soon." She said.

Daisy then said, "Speaking of Bowser, I can't believe that he's going to be a grandfather!"

Mario gave a nod. "Me neither."

"I wonder if he'll stop invading kingdoms once the baby is here." Luigi said.

Daisy snorted. "Bowser having his own kids didn't stop him from invading other kingdoms."

"I feel really bad for Iggy and his girlfriend, Tiana, I believe that's her name." Peach set the remote on her lap. "You know, I'd really like to help them out."

"Oh? How are you going to do that, Princess?" Mario wondered.

Peach smiled and replied, "I wanna send them a gift for their baby!"

Daisy grinned. "Peach, that's a great idea! I should do that too!" Daisy chuckled. "I actually saw a really cute baby outfit while in the Chai Kingdom."

"That sounds really sweet! Mario and I can help them out too!" Luigi said.

"Yeah!" Mario replied. "We can do that!"

"Come on, Tia!" Iggy said as he grabbed his girlfriend's hand.

Iggy and Clawdia met Tiana outside of the castle the next day. They went inside and walked together down the hall.

"Iggy? What's going on?" She asked.

Iggy giggled. "You'll see!"

They passed a couple of doors on their way upstairs. The three stopped in front of one and Iggy looked at Tiana, a huge smile on his face.

"...Alright, what is it?" Tiana wondered.

Iggy stood behind her and covered her eyes.

"Iggy! What are you doing?" She said.

Clawdia opened the door and stepped inside.

Iggy giggled some more. "Just walk inside, Tiana."

Tiana sighed. "Alright."

She took a few steps forward and instead of the hard floor, she felt a soft carpet underneath her feet.

"Ok. You can look now." Iggy said.

Iggy removed his hands from her eyes. After adjusting her glasses, Tiana gasped.

At last, the nursery was finished! Along with the soft carpet, the room had a white crib that sat against the wall near the door, a changing area across the room, and a rocking chair next to a book shelf with baby books on the shelves. It also had a dresser and a toy box with a few plushies inside. The walls were also painted a soft green. Tiana looked around in amazement.

Tiana slowly smiled. "Wow! It's adorable!"

Iggy chuckled. "I put the crib together myself!"

Tiana gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, "You did an amazing job, Iggy!"

Iggy's cheeks turned pink. "Thanks, Tia."

A Koopa Troopa then entered the nursery. "Um, excuse me, Your Highness." He walked over to Iggy and Tiana. "A gift was delivered for you two."

The Koopa Troopa handed the gift to Iggy, bowed, and left the nursery.

"Who sent you a gift?" Clawdia asked.

"I dunno." Iggy replied.

Iggy tore off the pink wrapping paper and opened the box. He saw a letter inside, took it out, and read it out loud.

"Dear Iggy and Tiana,

I've heard about your pregnancy last month and I wanted to help you two out. My friends will also be sending you things soon. I hope your baby can use these!

Sincerely,

Princess Peach"

Tiana gasped as she pulled out the items from the box. In her hands were a pink onesie and a pink rattle.

"Awww, it's adorable!" Clawdia cooed. "I wish it wasn't Peach who sent it though."

Iggy chuckled. "I should've known Peach would've sent us something!"

Tiana began to tear up as she looked at the two items. She dried her eyes and looked at Iggy.

"Wait. She said her friends are going to send us stuff. Does she mean the Mario Brothers?"

"Maybe." Clawdia replied.

The next day, Mario's and Luigi's gifts arrived at the castle. The brothers gave them diapers and some clothes for the baby. A few days later, Daisy sent them more diapers and also gave Tiana spa-like items and a heating pad. After hearing about that, more people started sending the young couple gifts. A week later, Pauline, the mayor of New Donk City, sent them a few baby books. Around the same time, Rosalina sent Iggy and Tiana a baby book along with a parenting book.

Iggy smiled as he looked through the parenting book.

"I'm glad that someone gave us one of these!"

Tiana giggled. "Me too!"

Just then, a Koopa Troopa walked inside of the nursery, carrying a few more gifts. Iggy and Tiana opened more gifts from Lord Xavier and Lady Ember, the leaders of the Hybrid Village. They also received gifts from the Floral Kingdom Royal Family, Princess Summer of Serene Isles, and the other Koopa leaders.

Iggy's eyes grew wide. "Wow. That's a lot of presents."

Tiana smiled. "Yeah. But I'm very thankful for them!"

Two weeks later, the rulers of the Cloud Empire, Princess Seraphina of the Solaria Kingdom, Princess Carol of the Frosty Kingdom, and Queen Chanel of Fashion Land, sent baby wipes and diapers for them. Chanel also sent a designer onesie for the baby. The next day, Iggy and Tiana made their way to the castle after visiting Jungle World. The guards let them inside and they made their way to the game room. Tiana smiled as she saw the rest of the Koopalings inside.

"Hey everyone!" She greeted.

Lemmy grinned. "Hey, Tia!"

Tiana and Iggy sat on the couch with Lemmy and Wendy. Lemmy giggled he hugged her. Tiana smiled and returned the hug.

"Where's Junior?" Tiana asked.

Lemmy replied, "Oh, he's in his room coloring."

Tiana chuckled. "I bet his drawing is really cute!"

Tiana watched as Larry, Roy, Morton, and Ludwig played a platformer. They were currently playing a level that had lava and fireballs. She chuckled when Roy lost a life.

"Crap!" He shouted.

"Hahaha! How'd you fall off the platform?" Larry laughed.

Larry cried out in pain after Roy punched him in the arm.

"Ow! Roy, it's just a game!"

Suddenly, Kamek flew into the game room.

"Prince Iggy, Tiana. You two have a visitor." He said.

"Really?" Iggy asked. "Who is it?"

Then, everyone gasped when they saw a beautiful woman enter the game room. She had fair skin, long white hair, blue eyes, and wore a gold crown with pink jewels, round blue earrings, short white gloves, and a magenta colored dress with a white sash around the waist.

"Princess Krystal?!" The Koopalings exclaimed at the same time.

Princess Krystal smiled at them. "Hello everyone!" She looked around and her eyes landed on Iggy and Tiana. "Oh, good you're both here!"

Iggy stared wide eyed as the crystal princess walked over to them. "Princess, what are you doing here?"

Krystal explained, "I heard about your situation, and I wanted to help you out. Prince Sterling's stuck in Stardust Land completing paperwork, so he couldn't come with me. So, he sent his gift for you with me."

Krystal handed the gift bags to Iggy and Tiana. Iggy opened Sterling's gift and pulled out a blue baby blanket and a mobile with Super Stars for the crib. Tiana opened Krystal's gift and gasped. She pulled out baby bottles and a brown stuffed bear. A red bow tie with crystals on it was around the bear's neck.

"Oh, that teddy bear is so adorable!" Wendy said.

Tears welled up in Tiana's eyes. Tiana tried to hold them in, but failed. She sniffled as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Tiana smiled. "Thank you, Princess!"

"Oh! I actually have something else for you, Tiana."

Tiana dried her eyes. "Really? What is it?"

Krystal reached into her pocket and pulled out two crystals.

"This crystal is an Unakite, which promotes a harmonious pregnancy and supports the healthy growth of the baby." Krystal pointed to the other crystal. "And this crystal is an Amethyst, which helps calm mood swings, reduces anxiety, and eases fears related to childbirth."

Tiana shed more tears. "Thank you so much!"

Krystal smiled. "You're both welcome." She sighed. "Well, I gotta head back to the Crystal Kingdom. Good luck to you two!" Krystal looked at everyone. "Goodbye everyone!"

After one more wave, Kamek led Krystal out of the game room.

Iggy helped Tiana wipe away her tears. "I'm surprised other kingdoms want to help us out, especially when Dad plans on invading their kingdoms, or already have."

Tiana giggled. "Yes. But, I'm very grateful that they wanted to help us."

Tiana hugged the teddy bear and smiled brightly.

I'll try to work on the next chapter soon! Also, in some future stories, I'll talk more about the Hybrid Village and the other Koopa leaders!

First off, happy 40th anniversary to my favorite video game series! And I'm so happy that the Koopalings are finally back :D

I started working on this chapter last night and I finally finished it! I hope you all like it :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Months have passed and Tiana is now nine months pregnant. Sitting on her bed, she frowned as she looked at her belly. Compared to a few months ago, it had gotten so much bigger.

"I look humongous..." She thought to herself.

Sighing, Tiana lay down on her bed and picked up her phone. She scrolled through her photo album, smiling at the pictures she took of herself and Iggy. Seeing how much her stomach had grown over the past few months was interesting. On the other hand, Tiana hated it. She was looking at a photo of her siblings when Iggy texted her.

"Hi, Tia! How are you feeling?" Iggy asked her.

Tiana retorted, "A little tired."

A second later, Iggy sent another message.

Iggy asked, "Are you feeling warm?"

"Not yet." Tiana replied.

Tiana set her phone down next to her. Iggy texted her once more after that. She picked her phone back up and opened the message.

"You should rest. I'll check on you later." He said.

Tiana smiled. "Ok. I love you."

"I love you too."

At the castle, Iggy put his phone back inside of his shell after sending Tiana his message. He sat at one of the lab tables and tried to jot down some ideas he had for a brand new invention. But as he did, he began to zone out.

"Oh man. I'm gonna be a father VERY soon!"

The realization of reality hit him hard.

"I wonder what the baby will look like." Iggy muttered to himself.

Then, he sighed. "Are we even going to be good parents?"

Iggy left the castle the following day and got inside of his Clown Car. He was going to pay Tiana a visit today and see how she was doing. He lifted off of the ground and flew to Koopa Valley. When he finally reached Koopa Valley, he landed on the grass. Iggy exited the Clown Car and walked to the front door. He rang the doorbell and patiently waited for someone to answer.

Jenny opened the door after fifteen seconds had passed.

"Hi, Iggy! Tiana's upstairs in her room!"

Jenny stepped aside to let Iggy in.

Iggy smiled. "Thanks, Jenny."

Iggy walked up the stairs and went past Jenny's room on the left side. Right next door, Tiana's bedroom door was open and across the hall was their parents' open door. Iggy peered inside and saw Tony and Tyra, sitting on their bed watching tv.

"Hello!" Iggy greeted them.

Tyra smiled at him. "Hello, Iggy."

"Hey." Tony frowned a little. "Remember, the door stays open."

Iggy smiled sheepishly. "Oh, uh, r-right, sir!"

He turned around and walked inside of Tiana's room. He saw her sitting at her desk, turning off her computer. She slowly got to her feet and turned around, smiling at her boyfriend.

"Hey, Iggy!"

Iggy walked over to her and kissed her forehead, making Tiana blush. "Hey, Tia!"

The two went to sit next to each other on Tiana's bed. They both smiled as he placed a hand on her stomach.

"Any day now." Iggy said.

Tiana sighed. "Yep. I'm still a little nervous."

Iggy gave her a smile and said, "Don't worry. Everything will go well when it happens."

"Alright. I'm still nervous though."

For a few minutes, the two sat in silence. Then, Iggy looked over at his girlfriend.

"Hey, Tia?"

"Yes, Iggy?"

Iggy's gaze was fixed on his feet. "Do you think I'll be a good dad?"

Tiana smiled softly and hugged him. "Of course you will, Iggy! You're gonna be an amazing dad!"

Iggy lifted his head and smiled at her. "Thanks." Iggy hugged Tiana back. "And I know that you'll be a great mom!"

Iggy returned to the lab a day later, attempting to get his time machine to function. He growled as he pressed the green button for a second time, trying to turn the machine on. Unfortunately, nothing happened. He kicked the machine, but immediately regretted it, as his foot throbbed in pain. Once the pain subsided, Iggy took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Don't worry, Iggy. You'll figure this out sooner or later."

As he picked up a wrench, Iggy's stomach started to growl. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was a quarter after one.

"Oh, it's lunchtime already?" Iggy's stomach growled again. "I guess I could use a break."

Iggy went to the sink to wash his hands after putting his wrench back in his toolbox. After drying his hands off, he left the lab and made his way to the kitchen. As he poured himself some juice, he saw the chefs and asked them if they could make him a sandwich. A few minutes later, Iggy had his sandwich and brought it to the dining hall along with his juice. He took a seat at the table and began eating his lunch.

Iggy took a sip of his juice when he heard his phone ringing.

"Huh?"

He reached into his shell and pulled it out. Iggy smiled, realizing that it was Tiana calling him. He answered the call and put his phone to his ear.

"Hey, Tiana!" Iggy greeted her.

"Iggy!" Tiana cheered. "I've got exciting news!"

Iggy gasped, nearly falling out of his chair. "What is it? Is it time for you to lay our egg?"

Tiana giggled. "No. But, Rogan and Karrisa are at the hospital, and Karrisa laid their egg a few minutes ago! A Magikoopa told her and Rogan that they're having a boy!"

Iggy smiled. "That's great!" He then chuckled. "I just know Rogan's ecstatic to have a son."

Tiana also chuckled. "Oh, he definitely is!"

"So, are you feeling any different?" Iggy asked her.

Sighing, Tiana replied, "Not yet."

"Well, let me know when you do, alright?" Iggy asked.

"Alright." Tiana replied.

Iggy and Tiana said goodbye and hung up. Iggy took another bite of his sandwich and scrolled through his messages until he found Rogan's name. Once he did, he sent him a message.

"Congratulations! Tiana just told me." He said.

Rogan replied back a few minutes later. "Thanks, man! Karrisa's resting right now, but our egg was just placed in an incubator." Rogan sent another text. "She's gonna take the incubator home with her tomorrow."

"That's great!" Iggy replied. "You're excited to have a boy, huh?"

"Oh hell yeah!" Rogan said.

Iggy chuckled. "I knew it!"

"Now it's yours and Tiana's turn." said Rogan.

Iggy replied back. "Yep! Any day now."

Iggy put his phone away and went back to eating his lunch. He swallowed a bite of his sandwich and drank more of his juice.

"Any day now. Any day now, our egg will be here."

It was now three o'clock in the morning and everyone in the Koopa Kingdom was fast asleep. Tiana's parents and sister were fast asleep in their rooms, but Tiana was gradually waking up. As she opened her eyes, Tiana noticed that her body felt warm. She put on her glasses and looked at the time.

"Probably just indigestion..." She muttered.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Once she was finished, she left the bathroom and went back to her room. Tiana got into bed and placed her glasses on her nightstand. She let out a sigh as she closed her eyes.

"I gotta try to go to sleep."

As she lay in her bed, Tiana tried to ignore the warm feeling as she tried to sleep. It was just indigestion. Nothing else. Was it something that she ate for dinner? Maybe that was it.

A few minutes later, Tiana finally fell asleep.

Later on in the day after eating breakfast, Tiana's parents went to work and her sister went over to her friend's house. So, Tiana was alone for a bit. She was going to the castle to hang out with Iggy and the rest of his siblings, so she decided to wait for him in the living room. She sat on the couch and turned on the tv. Luckily, one of her favorite comedy movies was on, so she decided to watch it.

Tiana's body continued to feel warm as she sat there watching the film, but it also started to feel heavy. As she slowly realized this, Tiana's eyes grew wide.

"No way... is... is it actually happening?"

Tiana heard a knock on the front door ten minutes later. After shutting off the tv, she slowly got up and went over to the door. When she opened it, she smiled, seeing Iggy on the other side.

"Hi, sweetie!" They said in unison and laughed.

Iggy then asked her, "Are you feeling ok?"

Tiana smiled and said, "I'm feeling alright, but, I'm also feeling a little warm and my body feels a little heavy."

Iggy's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

When Tiana nodded, Iggy smiled widely.

"Oh my gosh! We gotta get to the castle immediately!"

Iggy took her hand after Tiana walked outside and locked the door. He then led her to this Clown Car. After getting inside, the two flew toward the castle. They made it to the castle pretty quickly and Iggy helped Tiana out once he landed. He took her hand again and they walked inside the castle. They found his family in the living room, some watching tv while others were on their phones.

"Guys!" Iggy said to them, getting their attention. "Tiana said she's feeling warm and her body feels a little heavy!"

His family gasped at the news.

"Alright!" Junior cheered as he jumped up and down. "I'm gonna be an uncle soon!"

Wendy and Clawdia rushed over to Tiana.

"You should lie down and rest, Tia!" Wendy said.

Clawdia asked, "Have you told your family yet?"

"Not yet." Tiana replied. She giggled and said, "We shouldn't freak out yet! I'm not cramping yet and the feeling isn't intense."

"It's getting so close now!" Iggy exclaimed.

Tiana smiled at Iggy and replied, "It took a couple of days for Karrisa to finally lay her egg, so maybe it'll be the same for me."

Later on in the castle, Tiana went to the game room with Junior and the Koopalings. Junior decided to draw a new picture while the others watched Larry and Lemmy play a fighting game. As she watched Larry win another round, Tiana clutched her stomach, feeling a cramp.

"Tiana!" Iggy rushed over to her after noticing it. "Are you ok? Do you need to go to the castle infirmary?"

Tiana gave him an irritated look. "I'm fine, Iggy!"

Roy laughed at Iggy's surprised expression. Tiana then frowned, realizing what she did.

"I'm sorry, Iggy."

Iggy smiled at her. "It's fine."

Junior and Larry pretended to throw up as Tiana kissed Iggy. Larry and Lemmy finished their game and Larry picked up the remote. He went through the channels until he found an old cartoon.

"Eh. I guess I'll watch this." He said.

A couple minutes later as they watched tv, Tiana flinched, feeling another cramp.

Wendy looked at her. "Are you alright?"

Tiana smiled. "Y-Yeah."

An hour went by and Iggy noticed that Tiana was looking very tired. Wendy also noticed it and gave Tiana a smile.

"Tia, you should really lie down and rest." She said.

Iggy added, "Yeah. You can rest in my room."

Tiana sighed. "Alright."

Tiana and Iggy went upstairs after leaving the game room. They walked past a few rooms until they arrived at Iggy's. He opened the door and the two walked inside. Tiana lay on Iggy's bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" He asked her.

Tiana gave him a smile. "You don't have to." She yawned. "I think I'll try to take a nap."

"Alright." Iggy said. He gave her a kiss and added, "I'll be in the lab if you need me."

Tiana nodded. "Ok, Iggy."

Iggy then left the room.

Tiana woke up from her nap thirty minutes later. She felt warmer, weaker, and the cramps intensified. She sat up and flinched at the pain.

"What's going on!?" Tiana wondered. She yelled out in pain.

Roy was walking down the hallway when he heard yelling. Curious, he walked faster until he arrived outside of Iggy's room. He saw Tiana on the bed, in pain and breathing deeply.

"Uh, what's wrong?" He asked.

Tiana looked at him. "R-Roy! Get Iggy! He's in the lab! I-I think it's time!"

Roy's eyes widened, but he nodded and rushed to the lab. Tiana pulled out her phone and went through her contacts until she quickly found her mom's number. She pressed the call button and put the phone to her ear.

"Come on, come on..." She whispered.

Tyra answered the call. "Hi, honey! Is everything ok?"

"Mom, it's time!" Tiana cried out in pain again. "I'm at the castle!"

Tiana heard her mother gasp. Tyra then said, "Ok! I'll call your father and we'll be there soon, ok?"

"Ow! O-Ok..." Tiana replied.

Right after hanging up with her mother and putting her phone away, Iggy rushed inside his room and went over to Tiana.

"I'm here, Tiana! Everything's gonna be alright!" Iggy said.

Iggy went to pick her up, but Tiana stopped him.

"I'm in too much pain! I-I'd rather stay here in your room!" Tiana exclaimed.

Iggy blinked. "But, there's more medical tools and equipment in the infirmary."

Tiana shook her head. "I-I wanna be somewhere safe and... I'm scared."

"Scared?" Iggy repeated.

"Yes! W-What if the egg comes out while you're carrying me?" Tiana flinched at another cramp. "C-Can I just lay the egg here? That way, the incubator can be brought to your room instead of the infirmary and then your room later on."

Iggy gave her a smile. "I'll ask my dad to send a few Medikoopas here."

Tiana smiled weakly. "Thanks, Iggy."

A few minutes later, Tyra, Tony, and Clawdia entered Iggy's room. They walked over to Tiana and Tyra hugged her.

"Everything's going to be fine, honey."

Tiana nodded and took a few deep breaths. Iggy held her hand as they waited for the Medikoopas to arrive. A sharp pain made Tiana let out a cry, squeezing Iggy's hand hard. Iggy cringed, but stayed silent. Three Medikoopas, Koopa Troopa doctors, entered Iggy's room a minute later with their equipment.

"Hello!" One of the female Medikoopas with short red hair greeted them.

A male Medikoopa looked around at everyone. "Even though we're not in the infirmary, we still only want two extra people in the room."

"I'll step out." Tony said. He leaned over and gave Tiana a kiss on her forehead. "I love you, sweetheart."

"I love you too, Daddy." Tiana said.

Tiana recoiled in pain as she watched her father leave Iggy's room.

The male Medikoopa walked over to Iggy. "Prince, do you have a blanket that we can place underneath her?"

Iggy nodded and went to his closet. He looked around until he found an old green blanket. After closing the closet door, Iggy handed it to the Koopa.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The Medikoopa said.

The Medikoopas gently lifted Tiana and laid the blanket beneath her. When they were finished, the second female Medikoopa with short blonde hair gave Tiana a gentle smile.

"Are you ready?" She asked her.

Tiana held Iggy's hand again. "Yes."

Junior and the rest of the Koopalings were back in the game room. Not knowing what else they could do, they decided to watch a movie. Lemmy did his best to focus on the movie, but the thought of Iggy's and Tiana's baby made him excited. Wendy was going to be an aunt and they were going to be uncle. The thought of having a nephew or niece made him grin.

"This is so exciting!" Lemmy cheered. "Pretty soon, we're going to be uncles and an aunt!"

Larry smirked. "That'll happen when the baby hatches."

Lemmy giggled. "I know, but still!"

"I hope Tiana is doing well." Wendy said.

Then, everyone in the room flinched as the sound of Tiana screaming echoed through the castle.

Wendy chuckled nervously. "Oh boy..."

Twenty minutes later, the male Medikoopa returned to Iggy's room with a cup of water. He smiled as he handed it to Tiana.

"Thank you..." said Tiana.

Tiana took a sip of her water and handed the cup to Iggy. As he placed the cup on his nightstand, Clawdia gently moved a strand of hair out of Tiana's face.

"You're doing great, Tiana." She said, smiling at her.

"Right." Tyra added. "We're here for you."

Tiana inhaled deeply once more. "I wish this would be over soon!"

Iggy suggested, "I can play some calming music on my phone to help you relax."

"Th-Thanks, Iggy." Tiana said.

An hour went by and Tiana was still trying to lay their egg. Iggy, seeing Tiana in a lot of pain, held her hand again.

"Just take a deep breath, Tia." He told her.

Tiana nodded and took a deep breath like he said, but squeezed Iggy's hand again thanks to the pain.

Iggy gave her a smile after wincing. "It'll be over soon."

"Iggy Koopa! You said it'd be over soon!" Tiana shouted.

Iggy smiled. "It will be!"

Tiana shouted at him again. "It's been two hours now, Iggy!"

The blonde Medikoopa chuckled and said, "We're almost finished."

"Are you sure?" Tiana asked her.

The Medikoopa nodded.

The red-haired Medikoopa said, "Just one more push!"

Tiana exhaled deeply. "I can't do it. All of my energy is drained..."

"You can do it, Tiana!" Iggy said.

"You've got this, Tia!" Tyra cheered.

Clawdia added, "You're so strong, Tiana!"

Tiana nodded and screamed loudly as she pushed one last time. All of the pain went away and she let go of Iggy's hand.

"I'll go find Kamek. You two clean up." The blonde Medikoopa said to the other two.

A few minutes later, Kamek arrived, along with two Hammer Bros. that were carrying an incubator.

"Place it on my dresser." Iggy told them.

The Hammer Bros. nodded and did what Iggy said. Kamek landed on the floor and took out his wand. Using his magic, he checked on the baby.

"The baby is very healthy." He said to them.

"That's good." Clawdia replied.

Kamek then smiled as he continued looking inside.

"What is it, Kamek?" Iggy wondered.

"I see what you're having." Kamek replied.

Iggy gasped. "Really? What is...? Wait! Don't tell me! I wanna be surprised!"

Chuckling, Kamek gently picked up the egg and set it inside of the incubator.

"You did a good job, Tiana." Tyra told her as she moved a strand of hair out of Tiana's face.

Clawdia smiled at her. "We're all proud of you!"

Iggy hugged his girlfriend. "I knew you could do it!" He then chuckled. "Even if you yelled at me and crushed my hand."

After laughing with Iggy, Tiana looked over at the Medikoopas. "Thank you all so much for your help!"

The Medikoopas smiled at her.

"You're very welcome." The male Medikoopa replied.

After making sure they had everything, the Medikoopas left Iggy's room.

"What do we do now since the egg is in the incubator?" She chortled. "I mean, besides waiting for the egg to hatch."

"Well, you should rest. Bowser and I will announce that you laid the egg." Clawdia replied.

Tyra then asked, "Will the media harass us again?"

Clawdia sighed and replied, "Probably."

"They definitely will when the baby hatches." Iggy said.

When Tiana groaned, Clawdia gave her a smile.

"Don't worry about that for now, Tiana. Just rest."

Tiana leaned back and said, "Alright, Your Majesty."

I'll work on the next chapter soon!

I hope you like this chapter!

The rest of the family reached Iggy's room a few minutes later. Tiana opened her eyes to see her father walking over to her. Before she could even do anything, Tony hugged Tiana.

"Are you alright, Tiana?" He asked her.

Tiana smiled and returned his hug. "I'm fine now, Daddy."

With broad smiles on their faces, Lemmy and Bowser Jr. walked over to the incubator.

"Whoa! How long will it be until the baby hatches?" Junior asked.

Iggy replied, "In a few weeks." He gave Tiana a kiss on the cheek, making her blush a little.

After looking at the egg, Bowser Jr. climbed into Iggy's bed and sat in between him and Tiana.

"Are you still in pain, Tia?" Junior asked.

"A little." Tiana replied.

Then Junior burst out laughing. "We heard you screaming all the way in the play room!"

"Lord Bowser and I heard you from the living room." Tony said.

Tiana chuckled and rubbed the back of her head. "Uh, sorry for how loud I was."

"You don't have to apologize for that." Wendy gave her a smile. "We understand."

"Right." Clawdia added. "I screamed pretty loudly when I laid Iggy's egg."

Tiana looked over at her boyfriend and giggled. Iggy was cringing at his mother's comment.

"Wow! I can't believe the egg is finally here!" Joey exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Mark added. "When Dad told me that you laid the egg yesterday, I couldn't stop smiling!"

Tiana laughed and said, "I bet." She then sighed. "At least only one person bothered me and asked what I thought the baby was going to be."

Jenny trailed behind her siblings as they headed for the castle. Since they weren't there yesterday, Tiana wanted to show them the egg. When she saw the big red doors, Jenny's smile grew bigger.

"Oh my gosh! We're almost there!" She cheered.

The guards opened the doors when they got closer and the four siblings walked inside. Tiana led them up the stairs and down a hallway until they arrived at Iggy's room. She knocked on the door three times and slowly turned the doorknob.

"Iggy?" Tiana said softly as she opened the door.

Tiana and her siblings walked inside to see Iggy standing in front of the incubator. He was whispering, but Tiana couldn't hear what was being said. Tiana placed a hand on his shoulder when they got closer.

"Iggy? What are you doing?"

Chuckling, Iggy looked at her and replied, "I'm just talking to the baby."

"Huh?" Joey walked closer to Iggy. "Why are you talking to the egg? The baby can't hear you!"

Iggy gave the six-year-old boy a smile. "I believe they can."

Mark and Jenny smiled as they looked at the egg more closely.

"Do you guys think it's a boy or a girl?" He asked them.

"Either is fine with me." Tiana smiled. "I'm just happy that the baby is healthy."

Jenny nodded and said, "I think it's a girl!"

"No way!" Joey exclaimed. "Mark and I think it's a boy!"

Tiana glanced at their egg with a gentle grin. "I can't wait until the baby hatches!"

"Me neither." Iggy replied.

Iggy gave Tiana a kiss, making her younger siblings grossed out.

Iggy was back in the lab the following day, once again trying to get his time machine to work. Unfortunately, like the past few times, the machine didn't work properly.

Iggy sighed. "I'm not getting anywhere with this..."

After setting down his wrench, Iggy took off his lab coat and hung it over a chair.

"I should rest." He said to himself.

Iggy left the lab and made his way to his room. He waved to a couple Koopa Troopas who walked by. Upon reaching his bedroom door, Iggy opened it and and walked inside. He walked over to his dresser, where he gazed at the egg with a smile.

"Hey there." Iggy whispered to it. "Tia and I can't wait to meet you, kid." He chuckled. "Our families can't wait neither."

His smile wavered slightly. "I hope I'll be a really good dad. I... I know I'll make mistakes, but I don't want to do anything wrong."

Iggy's smile came back fast and even bigger. "But, Tiana and I will always have help from our families and friends!" Iggy giggled. "You're already so loved, and we haven't met you yet!"

After giving the egg one more look, Iggy lay down on his bed and relaxed.

Sorry this chapter wasn't that long. Hopefully the next chapter will be!

Finally back with a new chapter! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

While waiting for Junior and the Koopalings to come, Bowser, Clawdia, and Kamek sat in the Great Hall. Clawdia looked at her nails as Bowser drummed his fingers on the table. Exhausted, Kamek yawned. After two minutes went by, Bowser growled.

"Where are those kids?" Bowser asked.

"Just be patient, dear. I'm sure the kids are on their way." Clawdia chuckled. "Larry's probably distracted by a video game or something."

Then, from the corridor, the three heard Larry's voice.

"I can't believe this..."

One by one, the kids entered the Great Hall and took their seats.

Bowser raised an eyebrow at them. "What took you all so long?"

Ludwig replied, "I was finishing up my next song."

"I was trying to get Larry off of his Switch." Morton said.

Larry looked at Morton. "Hey! I was winning!"

Iggy shrugged. "I was just waiting on everyone else."

Clawdia sighed and smiled. "Well, you're all here. So, let's get this meeting started."

"Now, let's discuss our next plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom!"

Clawdia folded her arms and grumbled, "I really don't want to see Peach."

Bowser and Kamek then discussed what to do during the invasion. Iggy was listening, but he began to get lost in his thoughts. Then, Iggy gasped when he realized something.

"Wait a minute! What if the egg hatches while we're gone?"

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Bowser said.

Clawdia put her hands on her hips. "How could you forget about your grandchild, Bowser?"

Bowser's cheeks reddened in embarrassment.

Clawdia sighed and smiled once again. She looked at her son and said, "You all can fight the Marios. I'll stay behind and keep an eye on the egg."

Iggy returned her smile. "Thanks, Mom."

Later on, Bowser, Junior, and the others left the castle and made their way to their own castles and the Mushroom Kingdom. After flying for a couple hours, Iggy arrived at his castle in Jungle World. Once his airship landed, he walked out and opened the front doors of the castle. He walked inside and made his way upstairs until he arrived at the top room. Iggy walked inside the room and took a seat.

Iggy let out a sigh and began to think about the egg.

"I wonder if the baby will hatch today."

Iggy started to smile as he imagined Tiana holding their baby in her arms. After that, he giggled, imagining himself feeding the baby with one of the many baby bottles that they were gifted.

"Man. I'm really nervous about being a dad. But at the same time, I'm really excited about it!"

The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. made their way back to Darkland, hurting after getting defeated by the Mario Bros. once agian. Once they landed in front of the castle, the kids walked out of their airships and made their way inside.

"Why does this always happen?" Larry groaned as he followed his siblings.

Wendy sighed. "One day we'll beat those idiots."

Ludwig also sighed. "I doubt it."

"Just try to be optimistic, guys!" Lemmy said as he bounced on his favorite yellow ball. "I'm sure we'll stop them next time!"

Iggy looked at his older brother. "You're probably right, Lemmy." Iggy blinked. "Wait. How do you still have a lot of energy? You were one of the first ones that they fought."

Lemmy shrugged his shoulders. "I got to rest for a bit."

"Me too, but I'm still in pain!" Larry exclaimed.

"Well, I'm gonna head to my room and sleep." Roy said as he made his way to the stairs.

"Same here." Morton replied as he followed his older twin.

Junior and the rest of the Koopalings followed their brothers upstairs and went to their rooms. Iggy walked inside of his room to find Clawdia sitting on his bed. She turned her head when she heard footsteps entering and smiled.

"Welcome back, sweetie!" She greeted him.

"Hi." Iggy rubbed his aching neck. "Did anything happen?"

"Not yet." Clawdia stood and walked over to him. "You should rest, dear."

Iggy nodded and flopped onto his bed as Clawdia left his room.

"So exhausted..." Iggy mumbled. "I wish Dad would just stop trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom." He sighed. "Or try taking over a different one."

Iggy closed his eyes and tried to sleep. As he got more comfortable, he heard a cracking sound.

"Huh?"

Iggy sat up and gasped. When he looked over at the egg, he saw a crack on it! No longer tired, Iggy jumped out of bed and ran out of his room and down the hall.

"Guys! It's finally happening!" Iggy yelled, getting everyone's attention. "Get Tiana and her family here ASAP!"

After receiving a call from Iggy, Tiana and her family hurried to the castle. The guards opened the doors for them and they walked inside.

Jenny yawned. "What's going on? I was taking a nap."

Tiana shrugged. "I dunno."

Tiana led her family upstairs and walked down the halls. They noticed Iggy standing by his bedroom door and they walked closer to him.

"What's going on, Iggy?" Tiana wondered.

Grinning, Iggy grabbed Tiana's hand and pulled her into his room. He took her over to the incubator and pointed at the egg, bouncing happily.

Tiana gasped and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! It's finally happening!?"

Their parents, Jenny, and a few of Iggy's siblings entered Iggy's room. As they looked at the incubator, they saw an arm break out of the egg.

"Oh my gosh!" Wendy squealed.

Next, a leg popped out. Pretty soon, the baby Dragon Koopa was out of the egg. Iggy and Tiana gasped. It was a girl with light green hair and blue eyes like Iggy's and a purple shell like Tiana's, but the rings surrounding her spikes were light green instead of red. Iggy nervously opened the incubator and he and Tiana cleaned off the baby. Once they were finished, they wrapped her in a blanket.

Tiana smiled as she held their baby girl in her arms.

"She's finally here!" Tiana said, starting to tear up.

Iggy brushed away a few tears and smiled at the infant in Tiana's arms. "She's beautiful."

Tiana looked at their baby and gave her another smile. "Tammy..."

"Tammy?" Bowser repeated.

"Yeah." Iggy replied. "It's short for Tamira." He kissed Tammy's forehead.

"You picked the name I wrote down?" Lemmy and Jenny said in unison. They then looked at each other. "Wait. You wrote that name down too?" The two laughed together.

Tiana nodded. "Yep! We loved the name and thought it was perfect for her!"

"So, what's her middle name?" Tyra asked.

Iggy and Tiana gasped. Iggy then said, "Oh crap! We never thought of one!"

As they stood there, Iggy and Tiana started brainstorming potential middle names for their newborn baby. After a minute, Tiana spoke.

"I don't know why, but the only name that's sticking out to me is Antone."

Jenny raised an eyebrow. "But, isn't that a boy's name?"

Iggy shrugged and replied, "Well, we don't have to follow traditional names." He smiled at their daughter. "It is a nice name."

Tiana giggled. "Then, it's settled! Tammy's middle name is Antone!"

Everyone left Iggy's room and sat in the living room so that each person could have a turn holding the new baby. Wendy was currently holding Tammy and couldn't stop smiling at her.

"She's so cute!" Wendy said. She gently rocked Tammy as she began to cry.

Lemmy squealed. "I can't believe that we have a niece now!"

Wendy's eyes grew wide after hearing that.

"Wendy? Are you alright?" Ludwig asked her.

Wendy quickly handed Tammy to him and jumped to her feet.

"We have a niece now!" Wendy exclaimed. "I have to buy her so many cute bows and dresses!"

Iggy and Tiana couldn't stop laughing as they watched Wendy run out of the living room.

That's it for now! I'll try to work on the next chapter either later or tomorrow!

Hi guys! Had some more time to edit this next chapter, and now it's finished! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: Only own my FCs!

It's been a week since Tammy hatched from her egg, and everyone was overjoyed to see her at last. Iggy and Tiana were the happiest about it. Everyone loved Tammy and thought she was the sweetest thing imaginable. Unfortunately, the media learned about the baby hatching from Bowser and Clawdia, and the harassment started again. Today, Iggy and Tiana were going to visit Rogan and Karrisa and finally meet their son Collin, who hatched a few days before Tammy.

Iggy walked out of the castle and made his way to his Clown Car. He entered and flew in the direction of Koopa Valley. Iggy smiled as he felt the cool breeze on his face. Soon after, he landed in front of Tiana's house and jumped out of the Clown Car. He approached the door and knocked on it. Tyra opened the door a minute later.

"Hello, Iggy! Come on in!" She said, taking a step to the side.

After saying "thank you", Iggy went inside. He smiled when he saw Tiana sitting on the couch, adjusting a little pink bow in Tammy's hair. Iggy sat down next to them and kissed Tammy's cheek, making her smile. Once she finished adjusting the bow, Tiana looked at Tammy with a smile.

Tiana nuzzled Tammy's nose and said, "Alright! We're ready!"

"Ok." Iggy replied.

Iggy stood up and walked over to the door, with Tiana following close behind him.

"We'll be back later, Mom!" Tiana called out to her mother in the kitchen.

Tyra answered, "Ok, honey! Have fun!"

They then left Tiana's house.

Tiana giggled. "I can't wait to see Collin! I've wanted to meet him ever since Rogan sent me a photo of him!"

"I can't believe he hatched a few days before Tammy." Iggy said.

Tiana chuckled. "Me neither."

Iggy took one more step and noticed that Tiana had stopped walking. He turned to look at her, frozen in place.

"What's wrong, Tiana?" He wondered.

Iggy looked in the same direction as Tiana and gasped. They saw a familiar Dragon Koopa with the same golden skin as most Koopas, black hair, a black shell with white rings around the spikes, brown eyes, and wearing a black jacket, walking towards them. It was Drake Koopa, Tiana's abusive ex-boyfriend.

As Drake walked closer, Iggy stood in front of Tiana and Tammy. Drake glared at Iggy.

"I can't believe you two." He grumbled.

Drake glanced at Tammy for a split second and walked past them.

Tiana raised an eyebrow. "What was that about?"

"I don't know." Iggy replied. "But at least Drake didn't do anything."

Tiana relaxed. "Yeah. But I wonder what his deal was."

At last, the three arrived at Karrisa's house. Iggy rang the doorbell and they waited for someone to answer the door. Rogan opened the door a minute later and grinned.

"Hey guys!" Rogan said.

He stepped aside to let Tiana and Iggy in the house. Rogan led them to the living room where they saw Karrisa feeding their son. Collin shared his parents' skin tone and blue eyes, but he had Karrisa's brown hair and Rogan's red shell, but with orange rings surrounding the spikes instead of yellow. Tiana smiled brightly, finally getting to see her friends' baby in person. Karrisa set the baby bottle down on the table, then turned to face them and smiled.

"Hi!" She greeted them.

"Hey there!" Iggy stepped closer. "So, this is Collin, huh?"

"Yes!" Karrisa grinned. "He's so sweet!" She looked at the baby in Tiana's arms. "And this must be Tammy!"

"Yep! Isn't she cute?" Tiana said and kissed Tammy's cheek.

Everyone sat down and watched the two babies.

"I can't believe we have kids now!" Rogan said.

"I know right?" Tiana replied. "And they're the same age!"

Iggy chuckled as Tammy grabbed Collin's hand.

"I bet they'll be best friends!" said Karrisa.

"Yeah!" Tiana agreed. "They already like each other!"

After Tammy and Collin were put down for a nap, the teens chose to play games and talk for a while. Karrisa's parents returned home from work and told them that they'd keep an eye on the babies while they took a break. They sat at the kitchen table and were having fun playing a new card game that Rogan had bought and wanted to try.

Iggy playfully pouted. "How am I losing?"

Despite the fact that he was losing, Iggy was enjoying himself. He glanced over at the babies napping and smiled.

Karrisa smiled and said, "They're so adorable!"

Iggy nodded. "Yeah, they are." As they continued to play, a thought came to him. "Hey. I know Tammy and Collin will be friends, but what if they start dating when they're older?" Iggy chuckled. "I think that'd be kinda interesting!"

Tiana grinned at Iggy. "That would be so sweet!"

Rogan nodded. "I guess we'll have to wait and see."

After nodding also, Karrisa threw her cards on the table."

"I won!" She cheered.

I'm gonna work on the next chapter hopefully Tuesday :)

Hey guys! I'm back with a new chapter. I hope you like it :D

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

After a month, the reporters and paparazzi continued to harass everyone. Bowser grew increasingly irritated every day as he refused interviews interviews for Iggy and Tiana. Right now, Iggy was in his room resting. He grabbed his phone and checked his social media. Iggy smiled, seeing a few nice drawings and funny memes. Then, he frowned.

On the app, several people were talking about him, Tiana, and Tammy.

One person said, "Tammy is so cute!"

Another replied to them, "I still can't believe that our fifteen-year-old prince is a father!"

"His girlfriend probably wanted more money." Another user said.

Iggy growled and blocked the user. He picked up his remote and turned on the tv. As he went through the channels, he landed on one of the news channels. Iggy's frown deepened, seeing a photo of himself and Tiana in Neo Bowser City, with Tiana pushing Tammy in a stroller. Once again, they were being talked about.

Iggy turned off his tv and sighed. "I don't know what to do anymore..."

Iggy closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

A week later, more people called the castle, wanting an interview with Iggy. They even began to call Tiana's house!

"How did they even get her number...?" Iggy wondered.

As he made his way to his room, Iggy's phone began to ring.

"Huh?" Iggy took out his phone and smiled when he saw Tiana calling. He answered and put the phone to his ear. "Hi, Tia!"

"Iggy," Tiana began after letting out a sigh. "We're getting nonstop calls. We're probably gonna have to change our phone number."

Iggy frowned. "Oh..."

Tiana sighed again. "We don't know what to do anymore."

Iggy opened his room door and sat on his bed. "Would you guys want to talk to my parents? Maybe we all can come up with a solution."

"Yeah. Yeah, maybe that'll work." Tiana replied.

Iggy nodded, even though Tiana couldn't see it. "Ok. I'll let them know and maybe you guys can come over later."

"Sounds good."

After saying goodbye, Iggy and Tiana hung up.

Tiana and her family arrived twenty minutes later and sat in the living room of the castle with Iggy and his family. Tony sighed, getting everyone's attention.

"The media is getting ridiculous..."

Clawdia nodded. "I agree." She sighed. "People are calling Clawdeen and her family, asking them questions."

Iggy whimpered and hid his face in his hands. "The media wouldn't be harassing all of us if Tiana and I didn't..." He looked up and glanced at Junior for a moment. "do "it" that night."

Tiana rubbed his shell. "If we didn't, then Tammy wouldn't be here right now."

Tammy cooed, making Iggy look at her and smile.

"What can we do to make the media leave us alone?" Morton wondered.

For two minutes, nobody spoke. And then, Iggy spoke up, making everyone look at him in shock.

"Tiana and I can do an interview with someone."

"Why?" Tiana asked him.

Iggy replied, "The reporters want a story from us. If we give them what they want, then maybe they'll eventually stop."

Bowser closed his eyes and thought about it. "That could work."

Clawdia nodded and said, "If you both want to do that, then we'll reach out to someone."

Iggy looked at Tiana. "Would you be ok with this, Tia?"

"Well," Tiana pushed back a strand of hair. "I'd be a little nervous, but if it'll stop the media, then I'll do it."

Iggy grinned. "Great!" He then looked at his parents. "Uh, what would we even say?"

"Whatever you two want to answer." Clawdia replied.

Bowser then added, "It's your family now. You guys get to choose how the world sees you."

Iggy sat there and thought about that. It's his new family. His and Tiana's new family. It was still so insane and amazing to him, and he was pretty sure that Tiana felt the same way.

Iggy and Tiana sat together in the Great Hall a week later. Today was the day of the interview, and they were currently waiting for the reporter to arrive. Iggy looked over at Tiana, who was doing her best to look calm. Seeing that she was nervous, Iggy held her hand.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Iggy smiled at her. "The interview will probably be over in no time!"

Tiana let out a breath. "Yeah. Hopefully."

Iggy played with her fresh new braids, making Tiana giggle.

Three minutes later, they heard two voices coming from the hall.

"Is it them?" Tiana whispered.

Two people stepped inside the Great Hall. The first one was a Lakitu carrying a camera. The second person was a female Koopa Troopa reporter with long brown hair, a red shell, and wearing purple glasses that were similar to Tiana's.

Iggy whispered back, "Yep, it's them."

The reporter walked over to them with a smile. She bowed to Iggy and said, "Thank you so much for allowing me to interview you both, Your Majesty."

Iggy smiled. "No problem! We're glad to do this!"

"And to finally make you guys leave us alone!" Iggy and Tiana thought.

The Koopa Troopa took a seat across from them. "So, are you two ready?"

"Yes." Iggy replied.

Tiana nodded.

"Ok," The Lakitu said, "we're on in three, two, one... GO!"

The reporter looked into the camera. "Hello and welcome back to the Koopa Kingdom News Network! I'm here in Castle Koopa with our Prince, Iggy, and his lovely girlfriend, Miss Tiana Koopa! Now, seven months ago, the world found out that these young Koopas were going to be parents. And now they have a new addition to their family, our brand new princess, Tammy!"

Tiana felt her heart beating quickly, but she did her best to keep calm.

The Koopa Troopa reporter looked at them. "Thank you both so much for doing this interview. How are you feeling?"

Iggy chuckled and replied, "We're sleep-deprived, but alright."

The reporter adjusted her glasses. "Why did you two choose to speak out now?"

Much to Iggy's and Tiana's surprise, Tiana answered the question.

"We needed space. Not just to figure things out, but to become a family without the world watching every moment."

Iggy chuckled. "And the paparazzi started up again after Tammy was born." He added, "I also don't want the first thing our daughter sees when searching our names online one day, to be a bunch of rumors and garbage."

The reporter nodded. "Some people say you're too young and that the child deserves a more stable home. What do you say to that?"

"We're not pretending to have all the answers." Tiana replied. "But we have love, support, a whole castle full of family, and we're learning every day."

Iggy said, "I've been called reckless, but I'm going to do my best to be a great dad!"

"What's one thing you want the world to know about your child?" The reporter asked.

Tiana smiled and replied, "That Tammy is surrounded by people who love her. No matter what anyone says."

"Our daughter isn't a scandal or a mistake. She's a gift. End of story." Iggy said.

Two minutes later, Clawdia entered the Great Hall, carrying Tammy in her arms. After handing her to Tiana, Clawdia smiled and quietly left.

"Oh, she's beautiful!" The reporter stated.

"Thank you." Iggy said. "That's all we're sharing. The rest... that belongs to us."

Bowser stood outside the hallway, watching the entire thing. With his arms crossed, he slowly smiled.

"I'm proud of them." He thought to himself.

That's it for now!

Hi! Here's another chapter :D This one is actually an updated version of chapter 8 of "A New Baby Redux" and chapter 6 of "I Do Redux".

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

It's been three years since Tammy was born. Iggy and Tiana were now eighteen years old and Tammy was three years old. Tiana and Tammy moved into the castle a few weeks ago so that Tiana and Iggy could raise their daughter together. Tammy recently had to get glasses since her vision was beginning to get blurry. As Tammy ran to her room, Iggy began to chuckle.

"Dang... Tammy looks like us even more now with those glasses."

"Yeah. She really does." Tiana replied and gave Iggy a kiss on the cheek.

"I can't believe that Tammy's three years old old now!" Iggy exclaimed.

Tiana nodded. "Yeah. Time flies!"

Iggy nodded also and said, "It seems like it was only yesterday when the whole world found out about the pregnancy."

Tiana scratched the back of her head. "That scandal was crazy!" She then added, "At least the media left us alone."

A few minutes later, Tammy returned and looked at her parents.

"Mommy? Daddy? Can we play a game together? Pretty please?" She asked them.

Iggy smiled. "Of course, sweetheart!"

Tammy cheered, grabbed their hands, and excitedly ran to the game room.

Iggy was in the lab repairing his family's Clown Cars a week later. Their Clown Cars got damaged a few days ago during a fight with Mario and Luigi. He was currently fixing Bowser's, which was the final Clown Car that needed fixing. After tightening the last screw, Bowser's Clown Car was finally fixed. Iggy wiped some sweat from his forehead and smiled at his hard work.

Iggy put the screwdriver back inside his toolbox and hopped inside the Clown Car to test it out. He smiled as he floated in the air, seeing that the Clown Car was back to normal. Since he was inside the Clown Car, Iggy chose to fly it outside where the rest of the Clown Cars and airships were parked. As he flew out of the lab and down the hall, he stopped abruptly when he nearly ran into Tiana.

"Oh! Sorry, Tia! I didn't see..." Iggy's brow furrowed slightly as he saw the annoyed look on his girlfriend's face. "Tiana? What's the matter?"

Tiana sighed and did her best to relax. "I'm fine. I just... I ran into him while I was out."

Iggy jumped out of the Clown Car and pulled Tiana into a hug. "Did Drake hurt you?"

Tiana hugged Iggy back. "No. He was being nice when he spoke to me, but I could tell he was faking it."

Iggy led Tiana to their room, leaving the Clown Car for a moment. The two were silent when they arrived. As Tiana lay on the bed, Iggy sat next to her.

"I haven't seen Drake since the time we went to see Collin for the first time. Now I end up seeing him again?" Tiana said and sighed.

Iggy replied to her, "Hopefully you won't run into him again."

"I hope you're right..." Tiana said.

Another week went by and Tiana and Tammy left the castle to visit Tiana's parents and siblings. Iggy was deep in thought as he left the lab and made his way to his and Tiana's room. Lately, his mind has been on Tiana and their relationship. He smiled softly as he thought about how they met and became friends. He made it to his room and lay on his bed. He turned on the tv with his remote and flipped through the channels.

Iggy eventually landed on a romance movie and raised an eyebrow.

"I think this is a movie that Tia likes to watch a lot."

He changed the channel again, but he couldn't find anything interesting to watch. Iggy sighed and decided to go back to the romance movie. He began to zone out, not really caring for romance movies. But then, his interest was piqued. The next scene in the movie showed a man proposing to his girlfriend. The woman in the movie cried tears of joy as the man put the ring on her finger.

"Huh..." Iggy watched as the couple in the movie hugged and kissed each other.

As he finished watching the movie, Iggy began to think about Tiana again. Then, he grinned.

"You needed my help with something, Iggy?" Lemmy asked his younger brother as they walked out of the castle later that day.

"Promise to keep it a secret?" He asked. Once Lemmy nodded, Iggy leaned in and whispered, "I'm gonna buy Tiana a ring."

"You're WHA—"

Iggy covered Lemmy's mouth. "Shh! I don't want anyone else to know!"

When Iggy moved his hand away from Lemmy's mouth, Lemmy grinned widely. "Ok, ok, but wow! Are you sure you're ready for that?"

Iggy smiled and replied, "Yeah, I am. I've thought about it a few times, and I know I'm ready. So, can you help me?"

"Of course!" Lemmy exclaimed. "So, what store do you wanna try?"

"Hmm...," Iggy thought for a moment. "We could head to Neo Bowser City and try the mall there."

Lemmy then said, "Great! Let's go!"

Iggy and Lemmy hopped out of a green Warp Pipe and were finally in Neo Bowser City. The two brothers walked around, admiring the beautiful lights and buildings.

Lemmy grinned and said, "Man, I never get tired of seeing the tall buildings and neon lights around here!"

"Me neither." Iggy said. "But, let's focus on getting to the mall."

Lemmy chuckled. "Oh, right."

Soon the brothers reached the large building. As they entered the mall, they looked around until Lemmy spotted the jewelry store. The two rushed over to it and walked inside. Iggy gasped, seeing the many necklaces, watches, bracelets, and rings inside. The two looked around until they saw a glass case filled with different engagement rings.

"Oh! This one looks nice!" Lemmy said, pointing to a ring with a big emerald.

"Yeah, but I don't think it'd be right for Tia." Iggy replied.

Lemmy nodded and the two continued to look around.

Iggy found the rings in this store beautiful, but didn't think they were right for Tiana. Lemmy, standing on his ball, patted Iggy on the shoulder.

"There's another jewelry store on the third floor. We can try that one." He suggested.

Iggy smiled. "Yeah. Let's head there."

Lemmy and Iggy headed to the elevator after leaving the store. They got inside and went to the third floor of the mall. As they got off, they immediately saw the second jewelry store. They walked inside and went to the section with the engagement rings. As they looked, Iggy didn't see one he really liked so far. He was close to giving up and trying a different store, when he gasped softly.

Next to a ring with a ruby, he saw one with a big diamond on it.

"Wow! That one is stunning!" Iggy exclaimed.

Lemmy leaned over to look. "Yeah! I bet Tia will love it!"

Iggy grinned. "Yep! This is the one!"

Iggy grinned as he made his way back to the castle. Lemmy decided to stay at the mall to buy a new toy for Tammy. Iggy couldn't wait to see Tiana's expression! Once he arrived at the castle, he ran inside, looking for her. When he made it near their room, he almost bumped into Tiana, who was also running. The two stopped before they crashed into each other.

"Iggy! I have something exciting to tell you!" Tiana cheered.

"Really? Well, I have something to give you!" Iggy exclaimed.

"You got me a gift? What is it?" Tiana asked.

Grinning, Iggy reached into his shell and pulled out a small black box. Tiana gasped when she saw Iggy get down on one knee and open the box, revealing a diamond ring inside.

"I-Iggy..." Tiana whispered as she stared at Iggy and the ring.

"Tiana, I've been wanting to ask this question for some time now. Will... will you marry me?" Iggy finally asked, making the two blush.

Tiana began to tear up as she answered his big question.

"Yes! Yes, Iggy! I will!"

Iggy's grin widened as he stood up and put the ring on Tiana's finger. The tears finally fell down Tiana's cheeks as she looked at the ring. Iggy chuckled and helped her wipe them away.

Iggy kissed her softly and said, "I love you so much, Tia."

"I love you too, Iggy." Tiana replied and hugged him.

"Oh! What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Iggy asked.

"Right!" Tiana giggled. "I just found out—"

Tiana stopped talking upon hearing a scream. A little girl was screaming.

"W-What was that?!" She exclaimed.

Iggy's eyes widened. "Oh no..." He grabbed Tiana's hand and ran towards the front doors of the castle.

Tiana and Iggy glanced at each other, their hearts racing. "TAMMY!"

If I'm able to, I'll work on the next chapter tomorrow!

Hi! This chapter was going to be posted yesterday, but I was really tired. So here it is! Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"Tammy is outside with the guards, right?" Tiana asked Iggy as they ran.

"Yeah!" Iggy said. "M-Maybe something freaked her out, like a bug! Maybe that's why she's screaming!"

"I hope you're right." Tiana replied.

When the two eventually stepped outside, they gasped upon finding the guards on the ground, unconscious.

Iggy looked down at the guards. "What the..."

Tiana gasped again, making Iggy look at her.

"Tiana, what's..." Iggy then noticed Tiana glaring at someone.

Iggy looked in the same direction as Tiana and his eyes grew wide. Standing a few feet away from them was Tiana's ex boyfriend, Drake, holding their daughter Tammy.

"Drake! What are you doing here? Put Tammy down now!" Iggy yelled.

Drake smirked. "Nah. I don't think I will."

"Put me down you big jerk!" Tammy screamed.

Drake looked at Tiana and said, "Y'know Tiana, you should just ditch Iggy and date me again." He chuckled, making Iggy's and Tiana's faces turn red from anger.

"So you can hurt me again? Never!" Tiana exclaimed. "Put our daughter down now!"

Drake ran his fingers through Tammy's hair, making her squirm. She tried to escape his grasp, but failed.

"Tammy should've been my daughter." Drake said.

Iggy took out his wand as his face grew even redder. He shot a light green energy blast at Drake, making him shriek and drop Tammy. Tammy got to her feet and hurried to Tiana. Drake rose slowly and turned to face them.

"Just wait. I'm going to reclaim my fantasy!"

Before Iggy could stop him, Drake quickly ran away. Tiana picked Tammy up and hugged her.

"Are you alright, honey?" Tiana asked her.

Tammy nodded. "Yes."

Iggy looked down at the guards and back at Tiana. "Tiana, you and Tammy head inside. And can you get a Medikoopa or two to come help the guards?"

"Alright." Tiana said and walked inside of the castle.

The next day, Iggy and his family were eating breakfast together. Tammy smiled as she drank some of her orange juice. She set her cup down and looked at Tiana.

"Mommy? Can we go to the playground later?" She asked.

"Hm..." Tiana thought for a moment. Then, she smiled. "Sure!" Tiana adjusted her glasses. "We can go there in an hour."

Tammy cheered, making her aunt and uncles chuckle.

Tiana and Tammy arrived at Koopa Kid Park an hour later. Tammy giggled as she ran towards the swings. Tiana rushed over to her daughter as she sat on the swing.

Tiana stood behind her and asked, "Are you ready, Tammy?"

Tammy replied, "Yeah!"

She giggled again as Tiana pushed her on the swing. Tiana smiled sweetly as she heard Tammy laughing.

The two spent time together at the playground for an hour and Tammy played with a few more kids until it was finally time to go back to the castle. Tammy frowned, but Tiana smiled at her.

"Don't worry, sweetie. Your daddy and I will try to bring you back here tomorrow."

Tammy smiled brightly. "Ok!"

She grabbed Tiana's hand and they walked away from the playground. As Tammy hummed, Tiana softly gasped, remembering something.

"Oh! I never got to tell Iggy!" Tiana exclaimed.

Tammy looked up at her mother. "What's that?"

Tiana opened her mouth to respond to Tammy, but she let out a gasp as she felt someone grabbing them from behind. Tiana and Tammy screamed as they were carried away. Tiana held onto Tammy and turned her head. She gasped, realizing that it was Drake carrying them. She tried to break free, but Drake held onto them tighter. Drake went through a few Warp Pipes until he arrived at his large mansion in the Magma Kingdom.

He walked inside and went upstairs. Drake opened the door of a guest room and walked inside. He then closed the door and set the girls down.

Tiana trembled as she held Tammy close to her. "W-Why did you kidnap us?!"

Drake smiled and replied, "I told you yesterday. I want to reclaim my fantasy."

"Reclaim?" Tiana repeated. "What are you talking about? What fantasy are you trying to "reclaim"?"

Drake took a step forward, and Tiana took a step back. "You should've stayed with me. We should've had Tammy, maybe even a few more kids!"

Tiana glared at him. "My children are Iggy's and Iggy's only!"

Drake and Tammy both blinked.

Tammy looked up at Tiana. "Huh? What do you mean, Mommy? I'm your only kid."

Tiana chuckled and said, "That's what I was going to tell you! You're going to be a big sister!"

The news made Tammy gasp. Then she grinned.

"Yay!" Tammy cheered. "I'm gonna be a big sister!"

Drake growled. "I can't believe this!"

Tiana smirked. "Believe it, Drake." She chuckled again. "These kids are mine and Iggy's. And I'm now engaged to Iggy!"

After hearing that, Drake stormed out of the room and locked it from the outside.

That's it for now! I'll work on the next chapter one day next week :D

Finally this chapter is finished! Hope you like it :)

Disclaimer: Only own my FCs!

Iggy smiled as he set down his screwdriver. He glanced at his time machine and pushed a large red button. He gasped, seeing the lights on the time machine lighting up and a few flashing.

Iggy grinned. "I did it..." He whispered. Iggy then giggled. "I actually did it! I finally got my time machine to work!"

As Iggy gazed at the big device, his smile widened. "I can't wait to show Tiana and the others!"

Iggy looked at the clock on the wall. "Tiana and Tammy should be back already." Iggy giggled. "I know Tammy had a fun time!"

Iggy took one more glance at the time machine before leaving the lab and heading upstairs. When he made it to Tammy's door, he opened it with a smile on his face. His smile faded when he saw an empty room.

"Huh." Iggy closed the door and walked away.

Iggy made his way to the game room. He found Roy, Morton, and Lemmy inside when he got there.

"Guys," Iggy said as he walked into the room. "Have you seen Tammy and Tiana?"

"They were heading to the park the last time I saw them." Morton answered.

Iggy shook a little. "Oh... they should've been back by now."

Lemmy approached his younger brother. "Try not to panic, Iggy." Lemmy gave him a smile. "They're probably having a lot of fun together and Tia isn't paying attention to the time."

Iggy let out a breath. "You're probably right, Lems."

A moment later, Iggy's phone rang. He pulled it out and started to relax when he saw Tiana calling him. He answered the call and put his phone to his ear. "Tia! I'm glad you called. I was beginning to get worried! Are you guys still at the park?"

"Iggy? Can you hear me?" Tiana whispered.

"Yeah." Iggy replied. "But, why are you whispering?"

His three older brothers looked at Iggy, with Lemmy's and Morton's brows furrowed and Roy's eyes narrowed. What was going on? Were the girls alright? Did something happen?

Tiana explained, "We were heading back to the castle, but Drake snuck up behind us and kidnapped us!"

"What?!" Iggy exclaimed, making the other three Koopalings grow more anxious.

"He locked us in a room in his mansion!" Tiana replied.

"I don't wanna be here!" Iggy heard Tammy say.

Iggy then said, "Don't worry! I'm on my way!"

Tiana smiled. "Alright. Please hurry, Iggy."

"I will."

Iggy and Tiana then hung up.

Lemmy looked at Iggy and asked, "What's wrong?"

Iggy looked at his brothers. "Drake kidnapped the girls. He's keeping them locked up in a room somewhere in his mansion."

As Lemmy and Morton gasped, Roy sprang to his feet.

"Well, what are you guys waiting for?" Roy asked as he made his way out of the game room.

Iggy, Morton, and Lemmy followed Roy and walked down the hall. They past by the living room where the rest of their family were watching tv. Clawdia noticed them and called out to her sons.

"What are you boys doing?" She wondered.

Iggy stopped and replied, "Drake kidnapped Tiana and Tammy! We're going to get them back!"

Clawdia and the rest of the family gasped.

"Do you need our help?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Larry exclaimed. "We can help kick Drake's tail!"

After thinking for a second, Iggy shook his head. "Thanks, but I think the three of us can handle this."

"Well, alright. Be careful." Clawdia said.

Lemmy grinned. "Don't worry, Mom! We will!"

"Good luck!" Junior said.

The three made their way outside after thanking Junior.

This chapter wasn't as long as I wanted it to be ^^; I'll try to work on the next chapter tomorrow :D

Hello! Here's a new chapter! And Happy Blacktober to all of my Black and mixed Black creators :D Btw, in my AU, along with Morton and the Koopalings' uncle and cousins, Iggy is Black along with Tiana since she originally started out as my self insert!

Now, on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: Only own my FCs!

The four Koopalings walked out of the castle and to their Clown Cars.

Lemmy looked at Iggy and asked, "So, where is Drake's mansion?"

Iggy replied, "It was on a mountain the last time I heard."

After getting into their Clown Cars, the four took off from Darkland. During their flight over Grumble Volcano, Iggy's heart pounded in his chest.

"Please let them be alright." Iggy thought as he led his brothers through the volcanic area. "Please don't let him hurt them! If something were to happen to them..."

"Iggy."

Iggy snapped out of his thoughts and looked to his right. Lemmy was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Everything's gonna be alright, Iggy. Tiana and Tammy are fine."

Iggy let out a breath. "I hope so..."

After flying through Grumble Volcano, the group arrived in their extended family's kingdom, the Magma Kingdom. The Magma Kingdom was pretty similar to the Koopa Kingdom, but with more lava around the kingdom. Even still, Iggy and his siblings thought it was a pretty fun place to visit!

Sadly, they weren't here for a visit today.

With a gasp, Iggy gestured toward a distant mountain with a large house perched on it. "There! There's the mansion!"

He flew above the Magma Kingdom with his brothers in tow. After a couple minutes, they finally reached the mansion. Once they landed, the four jumped out of their Clown Cars and burst into the mansion.

In the dining room of the mansion, Drake was sitting at the table drinking some tea. He smiled as he thought about the two girls upstairs. He finally had them. This was great! Nothing could ruin his day!

A minute later, a Koopa Troopa servant entered the dining room. He rushed over to Drake with wide eyes and his body trembling.

"S-Sir, four of the Koopalings are inside the mansion!"

Drake spat out his tea. "What?!"

He quickly stood and made his way out of the dining room. Drake then gasped, seeing Iggy and his brothers down the hall. When Iggy spotted Drake, he glared at him.

"Drake!" Iggy angrily called out to him.

Drake spun around and fled. He didn't look back, but he could hear the four Koopalings running after him. He finally looked back at Iggy as he continued running.

"I deserve to have the girls and the future baby!" He shouted.

Iggy stopped in his tracks. "Future baby?"

Drake turned around and realized that they were standing outside the room where the girls were trapped.

"You didn't know that Tiana is pregnant again?" Drake asked.

"Tiana's pregnant..." Iggy whispered. He felt his face grow warm as he glared even harder at Drake. "You kidnapped my daughter and pregnant fiancée just so you could fulfill your delusional dreams!?"

Before Drake could respond to him, Iggy quickly ran over to him, pinned Drake onto the floor, and began to punch him over and over.

When two minutes had passed, Morton approached Iggy.

"Iggy, that's enough." He said.

Iggy stopped punching Drake and pulled away. He looked at him on the floor, now noticing that Drake was bleeding and now had a broken arm. He slowly stood up as Drake groaned in pain.

"I oughta have you locked up in the deepest, darkest depths of the dungeon." Iggy grumbled as he looked at Drake again.

"Daddy! We're in here!" He heard Tammy say from the other side of the door.

Iggy walked over to the door and turned the knob, but the door was locked. After a second, he knelt down next to Drake and checked his left jacket pocket. It was empty. He checked the right one and smiled, finding a key inside. Iggy walked over to the door and put the key in the keyhole.

He unlocked the door and opened it. Tammy ran towards Iggy and hugged his leg. Tiana rushed over and kissed him.

"We're glad you're both safe." He said. Iggy hugged them. "I can't believe we're having another baby!"

Tiana chuckled. "I was trying to tell you before!" She looked down at her ex-boyfriend and gasped. "Whoa! You really did a number on him!"

Roy laughed. "Hahaha! I bet Drake won't be bothering ya any time soon!"

Iggy smiled at Tiana. "We should go home now."

Tiana and Tammy nodded. Iggy picked Tammy up and followed everyone out of the mansion.

I'll work on the next chapter tomorrow!

Hi! Hope you like this chapter :3

Six months have passed since Tiana and Tammy were rescued from Drake's mansion. They haven't had to deal with Drake or their other enemies, which Iggy was grateful for. Everyone was getting ready for the new baby to arrive and planning for the wedding. A few news reports talked about both, which kinda annoyed Tiana. Especially when they brought up the scandal from when they were fifteen. Tammy was excited to be the flower girl and loved the light purple dress that she's going to wear.

After checking on Tammy, Iggy made his way to his and Tiana's room. He saw Tiana resting in their bed when he arrived. Iggy lay down next to Tiana and smiled lovingly at her. He then gently rubbed her belly.

Tiana sighed and said, "I hope I won't look fat in my wedding dress."

"I'm sure you'll look beautiful." Iggy replied and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"I can't believe we're having another baby and we're getting married soon." Tiana said.

"Me neither." Iggy giggled. "I can't wait!"

Tiana thought to herself as she rubbed her belly.

"I wonder what we're having this time." She looked at Iggy. "Do you want a boy or another girl?"

Iggy then replied, "I'd love to have a son, but as long as the baby's healthy, I'll be happy."

Tiana smiled. "Me too."

At last, the wedding day had arrived, and everyone was happy and excited. The guests entered the wedding venue and took their seats. Iggy, now wearing a black tuxedo with a light green tie, stood at the end of the aisle with Lemmy, his best man (who wore a similar tux, but with an orange tie), and Kamek, who Iggy and Tiana asked to officiate the wedding ceremony. Iggy took a deep breath. Sensing that he was nervous, Kamek gave Iggy a pat on the back.

"Don't worry, Prince Iggy. Everything will be fine." Kamek said, smiling at him.

"Yeah!" Lemmy added. "You and Tia are going to be married in a few minutes and it's going to be amazing!"

"You guys are right. Everything's going to be alright." Iggy replied.

Iggy inhaled deeply once more and waited for the ceremony to begin.

In another room, Wendy and Jenny were helping Tiana with her makeup. Tammy sat next to Tiana and looked at the flower petals in her basket. Jenny noticed the nervous expression on her older sister's face and smiled.

"Don't worry, sis. Everything will be fine."

"Jenny's right." Wendy said. "The ceremony will be great and you and Iggy will look fabulous!"

"I know, but... all eyes will be on us." Tiana replied, getting more nervous.

Tiana then felt a small hand hold hers. She looked over to see Tammy smiling up at her.

"It's ok, Mommy. Try to look at Daddy the whole time!" Tammy said.

The girls giggled at Tammy's comment.

"You're right, Tammy. I'll try that." Tiana replied.

Wendy and Tammy soon finished Tiana's makeup and checked their own in the mirror. After fixing her eye shadow, Wendy smiled at the others.

"I should go with the others." Wendy opened the door to leave.

Wendy gave them a wave before leaving the room. Tony came in as Wendy walked out. He gazed at the three girls, fighting back tears.

"You three look so beautiful." He said.

Tiana smiled. "Thank you."

Tony approached his daughters and granddaughter, giving them a hug and a kiss on the forehead. He then looked at Tiana and smiled softly at her.

"I can't believe that my firstborn is getting married."

Tiana smiled again and replied, "Me neither."

The four of them then heard the sound of Ludwig playing a song on the piano.

"It's starting!" Jenny said. "Go on, Tammy!"

Tammy grinned as she scooped up her basket. "Ok!"

Tammy giggled as she walked out of the room, dropping her flower petals. Jenny followed after her.

Tony walked over to Tiana and took her hand. "Are you ready, honey?"

Tiana took another deep breath, picked up her bouquet of Fire Flowers, and exclaimed, "Yeah! Let's go!"

Iggy smiled as he watched his daughter drop the flower petals onto the floor. Tammy giggled when she was finished and made it to Iggy. He knelt down and kissed Tammy on her cheek, making her giggle again. Iggy stood up straight as Jenny walked down the aisle and stood next to Tammy. Then, everyone turned to the entrance and saw Tony and Tiana walking down the aisle.

Tiana took a quick glance at everyone and started to get anxious once more. She looked at Iggy and noticed that he was blushing. It made her smile and her face warm up. Tony noticed this and chuckled. Tony let go of Tiana's hand when they made it to the end of the aisle. He gave her another kiss on the forehead and sat down next to Tyra.

Kamek cleared his throat and began the ceremony. Iggy and Tiana blushed the whole time and smiled at each other. They said their vows and exchanged rings. After that, Kamek smiled at them.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"

Their families and friends clapped and cheered as Iggy and Tiana kissed. Once they pulled away, the two held hands and walked towards the door, with Tammy, Jenny, and Lemmy following after them.

"I can't believe that we're finally married!" Tiana whispered to Iggy.

"I know!" Iggy whispered back. "It's great!"

The two exchanged another kiss and made their way to another room for the reception.

There's one more chapter after this! I'll try to work on it later today and post it tomorrow :D

Hello! Here's the final chapter of this story! I hope you all enjoy it :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Three months have gone by since Iggy's and Tiana's wedding and the couple was even happier than before. Tammy would sometimes wear her flower girl dress, since she loved it so much and thought it was very pretty. Iggy and Tiana laughed and found it cute. Lately, everyone was getting more excited because any day now, Tiana was going to lay their egg. Tammy was more excited about it than her parents. She couldn't wait to be a big sister!

Tammy was sitting in her room playing with her toys when her door opened. She looked up and smiled, seeing Iggy walking inside.

"Hi, Daddy!" Tammy ran toward Iggy and hugged his leg.

Iggy chuckled, picked her up, and kissed her cheek. "Hey, sweetie! I wanna take you to our room for a second. Your mom and I have a surprise for you."

"A surprise? What is it?" She wondered as Iggy carried her to his and Tiana's room.

Tammy first noticed her mother resting in their bed when they made it to the room. Then, she gasped when she looked over at the dresser. She saw the incubator sitting on it and inside, was finally the egg!

"Whoa! Is that...?" Tammy asked as she looked up at her father.

Iggy nodded and walked over to the dresser so Tammy could get a closer look. She smiled brightly as she stared at the egg.

"Wow! My baby brother or sister is in there." She whispered.

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" Tiana asked her.

"Hmm." Tammy thought for a second and smiled. "A girl! When will she hatch?"

Iggy replied, "In a few weeks. You'll have to wait a bit."

"Aww! That'll take a long time!" Tammy whined, making Iggy and Tiana laugh.

As the weeks went by, Tammy would go to Iggy's and Tiana's room every day to look at the egg inside of the incubator. And each time, she would be disappointed when there wasn't a single crack in the egg. Today, Tammy woke up from a nap and put on her glasses. She got out of bed and left her room. She walked down the hallway and arrived at her parents' room. When she walked inside, she saw that the room was empty.

"Hm. They're probably in the Great Hall with Grandpa Bowser."

Tammy walked over to the dresser and pushed a stool in front of it. She stood on top of it and smiled as she looked at the egg.

"Hi, baby! It's your big sister again! How are you today?" Tammy asked, but got no response. She smiled again. "I hope you'll hatch soon. Everyone wants to see you. Especially me!"

Then, Tammy gasped. Finally! There was a small crack in the egg! Grinning, Tammy leaped from the stool and hurried to the door. She looked into the hallway and saw a few Koopa Troopas walking by.

"Hey!" Tammy called out to them.

The Koopa Troopas walked over to her. The female Troopa with blonde hair spoke up.

"Is everything alright, Princess?" She asked.

Tammy replied, "The egg has a crack! Get my mommy and daddy here super fast!"

Iggy held Tiana's hand as they ran to their room. Bowser, Clawdia, and a few of the other Koopalings were following close behind them. Tiana called her family, and they were on their way to the castle. Iggy and Tiana finally made it to their room to see Tammy standing near the dresser.

"Look! Look!" Tammy said as she pointed at the egg.

Then, the baby's right arm broke out of the egg.

"Oh wow! It's finally happening!" Tiana exclaimed.

The other arm then popped out. Eventually, the baby was finally out of the egg. It was a boy. He had black hair like Tiana, but in a similar style to Iggy's. His eyes were light purple like Tiana's and he had a green head like Iggy. He also had a green shell with purple rings surrounding the spikes.

After cleaning the infant, Iggy and Tiana wrapped him in a blanket.

"Oh my goodness! He's so precious!" Tiana said, a few tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Yeah, he is." Iggy replied as he wiped their tears away.

"Wait... he?" Tammy said.

Tiana smiled at her. "Yeah. Meet your baby brother!"

"Baby brother? But I want a sister!" Tammy whined.

Iggy and Tiana saw Tammy pouting and couldn't help but find it adorable.

"It's alright, sweetie. Maybe you'll get a little sister next time!" Tiana said.

"Next time!?" Iggy exclaimed, his face now red.

Tiana chuckled and gave their new son a kiss on the forehead.

Bowser asked, "So, what's his name?"

Iggy and Tiana looked at each other and smiled.

"Isadore." They said in unison.

Wendy squealed. "You're finally using one of the names I wrote down years ago!"

"Isadore..." Tammy repeated. Then she smiled. "Hey! We can call him Izzy!"

"Haha! That's exactly what we were thinking!" Iggy said.

Izzy then began to cry. Tiana rocked him gently, calming the baby down.

Everyone sat in the living room and they each had a turn holding and playing with Izzy. Tammy was happy to be the first one to hold her new brother. She smiled at Izzy and kissed his nose. Everyone couldn't stop smiling after seeing that. They thought it was the cutest and sweetest thing they ever saw!

Soon it was getting late and Tiana's family went home and Iggy's parents and siblings went to their rooms. Iggy put Tammy to sleep in her room while Tiana rocked Izzy to sleep and put him in his crib in the nursery. After placing the newborn baby in his crib, Tiana yawned and left the nursery. She met Iggy in the hallway and followed him to their room. They lay down in their bed when they arrived and stared at each other.

"I can't believe it. We're married and now we have two kids." Tiana said.

"Yeah." Iggy replied. "Three years ago, we had Tammy. And now we have her and Izzy." Iggy chuckled. "We're gonna be in the news once again."

Tiana nodded and laughed with him. She then smiled and kissed him.

"I love you, Iggy."

Iggy smiled back at her. "I love you too, Tiana."

After sharing one more kiss, the two yawned and drifted off to sleep.

And that's it! Hopefully this story was a lot better than the last two versions. Now I'm going to continue working on "Jasmine meets the Marios" and after that story's other, I'll either work on the sequel to it or make a brand new Mario fanfic that I'm planning.

I hope you all have a a great Friday! :D
