Benedict tore open the yellow envelope, Xavier who was driving shook his head whislt he laughed.

"Be patient bunny"

"I just need to know" Benedict responds as he pulls out the single piece of paper. He gasps.

"What does it say?"

"I'm 15 weeks pregnant. That cooky doctor was wrong. Talking about two weeks" he says, ending with a scoff.

"Now we know, we should gather some money and start preparing the nursery"

"We have money, I won the bets remember? Also by Monday the insurance company will give me a call, I'm sure they'll compensate me."

"Alright. In the meantime, we go home and rest."

"Rest? We have a house warming party to plan!"

Xavier frowned.

"Really? Didn't we already hold it?"

Benedict rolled his eyes as he sighed.

"Nope, we're having the party tonight. We have six hours to plan. Luckily for us, I had the invites as digital, all I need to do is press send. You have to make the drinks while I make the snacks"

"Alright. Remember to take it easy okay?"

"Of course! From now on, I'm on daddy mode"

A smirk formed on Xavier's face.

"I like the sound of that"

"Your Majesty"

Prince held his arms behind his back and nodded.

"Welcome Sir Nathaniel. The Queen had a previous engagement so he couldn't join us, I'll be here taking his place"

"Of course. It's the kids who matter here not us"

Prince glances at the kids, Sam and Nathaniel's son, Tyler were on the spread out blanket playing with the building blocks.

"So what do I offer you?"

Nathaniel smiled at him.

"What do you recommend?"

"Let's have mid morning tea."

"Alright"

The maids set up a table, Prince took the biggest chair while Nathaniel sat on the regular size one.

"So how are you enjoying Lololand?" Prince asked, watching the maids place the food on the table.

"It's really nice. We got to harvest some Pears after the races"

Prince chuckled.

"Funny story about that place, two men were fighting over the land so I took it and made a pear farm. Now we sell the fruits to some country"

"Wow. You're really business minded"

"I try. So how is Auckland?"

"Auckland is nice. The kids love Lololand more though"

Prince took a sip of his tea.

"Well visit more often"

"I'll try"

Prince glances back at the kids and smiles, Sam was really an extrovert.

"Well it seems they're gettting along"

Nathaniel nods.

"They do. I was a little nervous, this place seems intimidating"

"Don't be. We don't bite. By the way, can I ask you something?"

"She died. Right after giving birth to our son"

Prince felt his heart get heavy. Now he felt bad for wrongfully judging this man.

"I'm sorry."

Nathaniel nodded, sighing sadly.

"It's alright. People tend to be curious, a single man with three kids. They mostly think I got divorced and I'm stuck with the kids. I love my children and my wife risked her life giving birth to them. She gave me everlasting gifts"

Prince glanced at Sam. What if he got into Nathaniel's position one day, how will he handle it?

"Don't think like that" Nathaniel said. Prince looked at him in shock.

"Your Queen will be fine. All you have to do is make happy memories with them. Remember that"

═───────◇───────═

"So that is the Queen?"

"Yes."

"Why is he wearing a dress?"

"Kids these days always go against the norms to make a statement. I'm sure he's going for being a role model to those trans people"

"Oh dear."

The old ladies cackle as they sip on their champagne. Skye sighed, shaking his head.

When they got here, he could immediately sense the judgmental energy from these old people. Why would Star entertain such people.

"Your Highness, we thought you'd like a drink" a waiter says, offering an unopened bottle and two glasses.

"Thank you" he says. The waiter sets the items on the ottoman next to them, Star sighed as she poured herself a glass.

"Relax honey, we missed the jewellery section but we got here just in time for the best part. Vehicles"

Skye almost rolled his eyes. He could be home playing with Sam and kissing his fiancé yet he's here being judged by old women and his mother in law is oblivious to it all.

Suddenly a man walked up the stage, he looked like a1950's character from a black and white movie. He had big teeth and his hair was styled back with too much gel, Skye could even see the light reflect to the crowd. The man smiled and began to speak.

"May I have your attention please. We're beginning the vehicle auction. Today's toy is a masterpiece"

The curtains drop and they reveal a 1966 Ford Mustang convertible. The cherry red paint was so beautiful. The silver tyre rims glared from the lights. Skye sat up straight in shock. He glances at Star who winked at him.

"This is why I brought you here. You need a gift for your wedding so I knew you'd want something like this.

"Holy shit"

═───────◇───────═

Xavier stacked the frigde with the alcoholic beverages, he laughs when he felt Benedict's arms snake around his waist.

"You're slowing me down"

"I know, but I need your touch"

Xavier turns to face him, lips pecking Benedict on the forehead. Benedict smiled and rubs his nose with Xavier's, taking deep breaths.

"Bunny what are you doing?"

"It smells nice, like white roses"

"Really?"

"Mhm"

Xavier shrugged. Must be a pregnancy thing.

"By the way what are we wearing for this party?"

"We can go naked....let everyone see that monster between your thighs"

Xavier gasped, red hue spreading up his neck to his face.

"Bunny!"

Benedict laughed.

"I kid, we can wear suits and our masquerade masks"

"Alright, how many people are we expecting?"

"The neighbours, my family, your mom, corey and nora"

"So about 30 people?"

"Yeah"

Xavier nodded. He gives Benedict a kiss on the lips and grabs his car keys. Benedict frowned.

"Where are you going?"

"To get ice!"

Benedict glanced at the full bags of ice in the cooler. He squints his eyes in suspicion.

"He's planning something"
