Skye looked through Sam's work of the day, they had coloured flags and world maps, along with the alphabets.

Prince came down the stairs, carrying Sam. He sets his son down on the highchair and hands him a plate of spaghetti.

"How did he do?" He asked.

"He did well. The tutor said he could be a protégé" Skye responds. Prince sat down and looked through the papers.

"I guess those 5000 piece puzzles helped huh?" He teases and Skye laughed, recalling the time he was pregnant. He was obsessed with jigsaw puzzles.

"Sam has smart parents, he is bound to be smart and even if he wasn't, he'll still have his father's wisdom"

Prince smiled and squeezed Skye's thigh.

"Don't flatter me too much"

Skye blushed and looked around before his hand grabbed the King's crotch.

"Don't tease me too much"

Prince smirked.

"Touché"

Xavier hands Benedict a plate of macaroni and cheese. Benedict had requested it as it had been a long time since he had the dish.

"This looks delicious" Benedict says making Xavier blush.

"I tried my best. So tell me, when is the next appointment?"

"In two months. That's when my first trimester ends. But we can have sonograms taken every three weeks"

Xavier nods and rubs Benedict's tummy.

"I cannot wait. We should really look for a bigger house"

"Yeah. Maybe in that neighbourhood where Skye and Prince lived in? It was safe and the neighbours have kids plus the school is not very far"

"Good idea. I'll talk to my realtor about it"

Benedict nodded and took a few bites of his mac n cheese.

"Have you heard from Cj?"

"Nope and I don't want to. He is dead to me" Xavier says. Benedict nodded. It was probably for the best.

"Do you want to come to our tea party? Skye invited us. We're to wear formal clothes and get to try on the royal jewels"

"Well....Prince invited me to a golfing game so I'll be there with him"

"Golfing? Since when?" Benedict asked in shock.

"I don't play it, that's the thing. But Prince invited me so we could hang out"

Benedict nodded. Seems like the two were getting along.

"I wonder where Johnny is? He's been distant lately"

Jonathan opened the door and Cameron followed behind. He turns on the lights and Cameron looked around. Jonathan seemed to like black and white as that was the whole theme of his condo. On the table there were stacks of neatly organized papers. The place had a unique scent to it, Cameron couldn't place it.

"This is my place. Let me show you around" says Jonathan as he walked ahead of his guest.

"This is the spare room. I regularly clean it so you don't have to worry about dust mites"

Cameron smiles as he made his way inside the room. It was comfy looking plus he had a bathroom with a tub so that was a plus.

"My room is at the end of the hallway, the door on the right is my study, on the left is the laundry room, we passed the kitchen and living room back there"

Cameron nodded and looked around the room again.

"This is more than enough...thank you for helping me out"

"Don't worry about it, you can freshen up and I'll start on dinner, allergic to anything?"

"Nope"

Jonathan snapped his fingers.

"I know exactly what to make"

Once Jonathan left the room, Cameron took off his shoes and placed them by the door. He was wondering why Jonathan was helping him out, maybe it was out of pity because of the wheelchair. He sighed.

"Pity is love in undress"

In the kitchen, Jonathan was preparing grilled chicken salad, he grills the chicken breasts and when they were done, he let them rest for a few minutes and tends to the salad contents.

He doesn't know if he was confused or what but all he knows is Cameron had caught his eye more than Corey. Speaking of Corey, Jonathan hopes they could still be friends and if the man didn't want to then it was okay. He wouldn't blame Corey if he suddenly hated him after leading him on.

"Uh....Jonathan?" Cameron's voice called out.

"Yeah?"

"I need your help"

He washes and wipes his hands before he  rushed to the guest room to find Cameron in bed, half naked. The guy had a full set of six packs and his biceps, gosh. Jonathan wanted to rest his head on them.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Well....I wanted to take a bath and thought if I took my clothes off here then I'll be able to get in my chair and get in the bathroom but I accidentally pushed my chair away and now I'm stuck here"

Jonathan smiled, he sets the chair next to the bed and locks the wheels in place. Cameron gave him a thankful smile and proceeds to take off his jeans, Jonathan looked away to give his guest some privacy. Cameron got back on his chair and unlocked the wheels.

"Do you need help getting in the tub?" Jonathan asked and Cameron shook his head.

"Don't worry, I have arm strength" he jokes before gently closing the bathroom door.

Jonathan steps out of the room and rushes to his own room, takes a tracksuit out of his closet and places it on the bed Cameron would be sleeping on tonight.

"I left something you can wear to bed tonight"

"Thanks!"

He heads back to the kitchen and finished up the salad. Hopefully Cameron likes it. He blushes. What was he thinking?!

The elevator doors opened and Benedict stepped out, carrying a full rubbish bag with him as he made his way to the rubbish bins. He tosses the bag inside and paused when he felt like he was being watched.

He looks around, no sight of a person was here. He makes his way back inside and finds the hallway empty. He frowns.

"It's quiet....too quiet" he whispers as he got in the elevator.

When he reached his floor, he power walked his way back to the apartment, he opens the door and bumps into Xavier who was putting their jackets in the closet by the door.

"Whoa what's wrong?" Xavier asked, seeing Benedict's panicked expression.

"I....I felt like someone was watching me, so I rushed here"

Xavier frowned and opened the door and looked both ways of the hallway. He closes the door and locks it.

"I think you should stay with Skye, he has security so you'll be safe there"

"What about you?" Benedict asked.

"Me? I'll end this"

They ate in silence, Cameron was wearing Jonathan's tracksuit and Jonathan was focusing on his food to avoid being caught looking at Cameron.

"So uhm....you are the queen's brother" Cameron said, he had seen the family pictures on the side table near the empty flower vase.

"Yeah" Jonathan responds. Cameron nodded.

"Cool"

"And you are a painter, when was the last piece you did?"

Cameron shrugged.

"It's been too long. After the accident, my hands haven't stopped shaking so I didn't bother to get back to it"

"Oh....I'm sorry, I didn't mean to open old wounds"

Cameron pushed back his hair and sighed. The action almost made Jonathan drop his fork. It was so attractive.

"It's okay"

Jonathan nodded awkwardly. This wasn't going as planned!!
