They waited for the timer to go off. It was only set for five minutes but why did it feel like five years?!

"Come on...come on" Benedict says chewing on his bottom lip while Xavier's leg was jitterring in anxiety.

Ding!

Benedict snatched the small white stick and looked at it. He couldn't believe it. After weeks and years of trying and now this?

"What does it say" Xavier asked.

He sighed in sadness and gave Xavier the stick.

"See for yourself"

Xavier looked at small digital screens. He gasped.

"You're pregnant? Baby you're pregnant!" He shouted in joy. Benedict laughed at his reaction, the two shared a soft kiss and Xavier hugged him tightly.

"We're going to be parents....oh my God this is wonderful!"

Benedict smiled and patted his belly.

"We are having a baby whoohoo!"

They share a hug, just the thought of being parents was just a dream for them. Benedict gasps and pulls away from Xavier's grasp.

"We should confirm with the doctor, just to be sure" Benedict suggested. Xavier nods in agreement.

"Okay, let's go"

Skye makes his way down the stairs, he smiles when he passes a few maids whom were setting the table.

Skye has been accustomed to being a royal, although he still needs some classes before making public appearances with Prince, the king, he is still trying his best to be a great partner and a father.

"Hey guys"

Prince looks up and smiles, he was in the kitchen having a drink with Sam, their son. The two year old was having a glass of milk while he had some juice.

"Hey, how was the shower?" Prince asked, hand gently giving Skye a pat on the butt.

Skye opens the frigde and sighs.

"It was relaxing. By the way, has Star come yet? We're supposed to be having our first lesson"

Prince shook his head while he wiped Sam's milk mustache with a napkin.

"I haven't gotten a word yet. But I'm sure she'll be here"

Three maids enter the kitchen and they bow to them, something Skye has also gotten used to. However he told his family that they will only bow to him and Prince when they were in public.

"The dinner is ready your Majesty, you can come and taste test it"

"Alright"

Prince smiles at his fiancé as they exchanged a look.

"Come on Sam, let's go have dinner"

Skye reaches the serving plates, taking a bite of each food item whilst he gave his opinion.

"They're perfect. Let's serve white wine tonight"

"Yes your majesty"

He comes back to the dining table and sits next to Prince.

"Why is Sam so quiet tonight?"

"He must be tired, you know how he is"

Sam, the soon to be crowned Prince is now Two years of age and his energy bursts keep his parents on their toes. But in the evenings, especially during dinner time the toddler is always in what seems like battery saving mode, he doesn't speak, just obeyes his parent's instructions. It was a weird thing to witness.

Dinner is served and Skye's phone suddenly rings. Prince took liberty to answer the call as Skye was busy feeding Sam. Yes Skye was still breastfeeding, however he was in the last few months as they were giving Sam some diary milk as a substitute now and then.

"Hey Benedict. What's up?"

"Where's Skye?"

Prince looks over at Skye and the man was busy on feeding his baby.

"He's a little busy, why?"

"If he is in the same room as you, put the phone on speaker"

Prince does as told and nudges Skye.

"I'm here Benny, what's up?"

"Well.....I'm pregnant"

Skye gasped.

"No way! Really?!" He exclaimed, the sudden noise frightened the toddler making him cry.

Skye leaves the room and Prince speaks up.

"Wow! Congratulations to you and Xav! I'm sure you'll make good parents"

"Awe thanks Prince. By the way don't tell mom yet, I'm telling her tomorrow"

He chuckles.

"Okay okay, we'll see you soon"

"Alright. Bye! Love you guys!"

The call ends and Prince sighs in happiness. Wow, the family was growing and Sam will soon have a cousin. What fun!

═───────◇───────═

The following morning, Benedict made his way to his cafe, the place had been blossoming lately, must because Skye has been seen here with Sam so people might want to meet and take pictures with the Queen and the prince.

He unlocks the glass doors and steps inside. The smell of flour and icing made his stomach churn. He gags and runs to the restrooms where he emptied his stomach. He dry heaves for a few moments and rinses his mouth in the sink.

"What the hell" he asks himself as he looks at his reflection in the mirror. He takes out his phone and calls Jonathan, his big brother.

"Yo"

"Hey, are you busy?"

"I just sent my manuscript, what's up?"

"I need your help, stop by the cafe"

"On my way"

He hangs up and sighs. Heading back to the front, he could still smell the flour and icing which made him gag a bit.

He sets the tables and wipes the tables then organised a few treats in the display. In a few minutes, Jonathan entered the cafe.

"Hey baby bro"

"Johnny!"

They hug for a few seconds and Benedict pouted.

"What's the matter?" Jonathan asked.

"I have something to tell you"

Jonathan follows Benedict's lead and they sit down by the window side table. Benedict sighs.

"So Xavier and I.....are pregnant"

Jonathan's eyes widened in shock.

"So you.....are pregnant?" He asks, pointing at Benedict's stomach.

Benedict slapped the finger away and nods.

"We found out yesterday. We haven't told mom yet so keep it a secret for now"

Jonathan nodded before he laughed in joy.

"I'm going to be a two time uncle. I feel so special. If you need anything, I'm here for you and your family"

Benedict held his brother's hand and smiles.

"Can you help me work today? The smell here is making me nauseous"

"Of course! If it gets too much for you, you can head back home and I'll look after the place"

"Thanks big bro. I owe you 20 chocolate filled croissants. You can have them whenever you want"

Jonathan laughed.

"Deal"

He was happy for Benedict, the story behind Benedict's birth is surrounded by sadness so to see how happy his brother is now, makes him feel like Benedict will be just fine.
