T'Challa has a son with Nakia and during the conflict against Thanos, leads the Wakandan armies alongside the Avengers, but falls victim to the Blip. After being restored to life by the Avengers, he joins them in a final and victorious battle against Thanos before rejoining his family.
But by having Wakanda Forever deal with the aftermath of T'Challa passing, by passing on the mantle to Shuri and then revealing that T'Challa and Nakia had had a son, born during the Blip I assume, it sets the way for the future.
She reunited with T'Challa in Jabari Land and assisted him in reclaiming the throne from Killmonger. When T'Challa decided to open Wakanda to the rest of the world, Nakia would oversee the humanitarian policy of Wakanda. In secret, Nakia and T'Challa had a child, Toussaint, who Nakia raised in Haiti after the Snap.
Boseman's T'Challa disappeared for five years during "The Blip," the time after Thanos' snap, so we can presume this child was conceived before that. But it's explained that T'Challa wanted to keep him hidden so he could grow up without the pressures of the throne, and he prepared Nakia and his son for his death.

What is Nakia's secret?
Nakia revealed that sometime after the events of Black Panther and before Avengers: Infinity War, she and T'Challa had a son. They may even have been secretly married. As it stands, this doesn't make much narrative sense since T'Challa was openly asking Nakia to be his queen in the first film.
She couldn't accept that her role was merely ceremonial and that T'Challa had no romantic intentions toward her. Nakia's jealousy changed her, leading to her attempting to kill the King's former lover, a deceptive betrayal that caused T'Challa to banish Nakia back to her home village in disgrace.
In Ms. Marvel, Nakia's character is half-white while in the comics, she is entirely Turkish. But by and large, seeing Nakia (and Tyesha) wear their hijabs with pride in the show was a win for many people online. We're eager to see more of the show and see even more moments of representation.
She consequently became jealous of T'Challa's American ex-girlfriend Monica Lynne and plotted to kill her, but T'Challa rescued her and banished Nakia bringing great shame on her tribe and Wakanda. Nakia was captured by Achebe and tortured by him until Erik Killmonger came and freed her.
Instead of a mutual attraction, Nakia has unrequited feelings for T'Challa in Black Panther comics. This has even manifested in some pretty unhealthy ways. Nakia once tried to kill one of T'Challa's other love interests.
She also likely never wanted to be the leader of a nation and instead put her focus on her scientific research. She doesn't seem to mind letting M'Baku take that position instead. In fact, the leader of the Jabari was probably given Shuri's blessing to succeed Queen Romanda after her death.
Who is pregnant in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever?
But, it's revealed in the mid-credits scene that T'Challa had sent Nakia away as she was pregnant with their child, and he wanted his heir to be raised away from Wakanda. The scene shows Shuri sat on a beach, mourning the loss of her brother six years on.
Princess Shuri is the sister of T'Challa, and when he and her mother died she became the ruler of Wakanda. When Namor and his people threatened to wage war against Wakanda, she took the necessary steps to become the Black Panther to defend them.
It is revealed that before he died, he fathered a child with Nakia, Toussaint, who is raised in Haiti by Nakia, as both agreed it would be best for him to grow up away from the pressure of living in Wakanda.
In the comics, T'Chaka was successfully killed by Ulysses Klaue after he refused to let him extract their vibranium reserves, back when T'Challa was a child. T'Chaka was a fan of the Back to the Future franchise.
During a conversation with his aunt, the boy calls himself Toussaint before revealing he has a secret. Toussaint is his Haitian name, but his true name -- his Wakandan name -- is T'Challa. Of course, this name is in honor of his late father and the great leader of his native country.
While T'Challa was absent, his partner Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) would have given birth to their son, Toussaint. "In the script, T'Challa was a dad who'd had this forced five-year absence from his son's life," Coogler told the Times. "The first scene was an animated sequence. You hear Nakia talking to Toussaint.
Nakia comes up to her and says that there's something she hasn't been told. Something that nobody besides Ramonda knows – that she gave birth to a child conceived with T'Challa. While Shuri has assumed the title of Black Panther, the kid is the true heir to the throne.
She has to wear green, because she is a part of the River Tribe. She needs to look elegant, and therefore needs to wear an elegant dress. She also needs to be able to fight, so she needs to have a dress that will allow her to move and to fight.” “Nakia is a war dog.
She was pulled out of an assignment to attend the Incoronation of T`Challa and took part in a mission in order to arrest the criminal Ulysses Klaue. Following their failure to apprehend him, Nakia exiled herself when Erik Killmonger took the throne of Wakanda.
As Nakia reveals in Wakanda Forever, she left her post behind because she couldn't stand living in the country while their King was gone. That's because T'Challa was not only her ruler and her brother at arms but her lover. The entire country mourned the passing of their King twice.
For recklessly putting the Princess in danger, Okoye was stripped from her rank as the Dora Milaje General by Ramonda. Seeking a way to redeem herself, Okoye continued to fight during the Talokanil-Wakandan War, which claimed Ramonda's life.
