10:17pm...

Prince smiled as he watched Skye put on his pajamas, the sky blue two piece making Skye's skin stand out more.

"That colour looks great on you" he complimented.

Skye chuckled as he got in bed, he snuggled closer to the prince.

"Thanks and you look great in your birthday suit"

He does admit that when Prince confessed he slept naked, he was a little turned on by that, but that will be his secret to keep.

"So how was your first day in the palace"

His mind took him to Edward, will the two be at odds because of something that happened in the past? The whole thing was just petty to him.

"It was interesting, i noticed that the maids that worked here during the whole choosing a suitor thing are not here....did they get fired or something?" He asks.

"Who?" Prince asked in confusion, why on earth was Skye remembering some maid?

Skye sighed.

"The maids who used to tutor me, where are they?" He asked.

"Oh them, i fired them"

Skye frowned.

"Why would you do that? Was it because of me?"

"I don't think you should worry about this small issue Skye, I'll get you new maids"

His frown deepened, he sat upand smacked Prince on the chest.

"How can you say that, those women were my friends in this lonely place"

Pricne gasped when Skye started crying.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, I'll look for them first thing in the morning" he says cuddling him.

Skye's cries got louder.

"Skye why are you crying?"

"I'm so happy you idiot" Skye replies glaring at him with teary eyes.

Prince was confused but he still wiped Skye's tears.

"Stupid hormones" Skye huffed.

Knock.knock

"Ehm, Prince?"

Skye sighed, the person behind the door was Edward.

"I'll be back" Prince says before getting out of bed and putting on a pair of boxers and a black silk robe.

Prince opened the door and found his brother still in his day clothes.

"Edward shouldn't you be sleeping? You have an equestrian exam tomorrow"

Edward dismissed his question with a dismissive wave.

"Never mind that, i want to ask something"

He sighed and folded his arms.

"I'm all ears"

Edward sighed.

"Do you believe that the baby Skye is carrying is....yours?"

"Excuse me?" He asks, the change in his voice made Edward feel uneasy.

"The baby Skye-"

He gasped when he was pinned against the wall by his neck, the glare in his brother's eyes made him shake.

"Let this be the first and last time you think of Skye in that manner, he's not some cheap whore you think he is, for God's sake Edward you went on my behalf to send him flowers, do you really think he's that type of person who sleeps around? Especially when he knows he can get pregnant?"

Edward gulped.

"Look it was just a theory, if you believe so highly that the kid is yours do a paternity test"

He was released and he coughed for a few times.

"You should go to sleep, I'll see you in the morning"

Edward watched his big brother go inside his room, he sighed.

"I'm just trying to help"

The next morning....

Prince woke up to the sound of the royal guards playing the kingdom anthem meaning the time was 6:45am.

He sat up on the bed and frowned when he saw no sight of Skye.

"Skye?" He called out.

No response.

He got out of bed and headed inside their private bathroom, it was empty.

"Where did he go?"

He grabbed his robe and went downstairs, the chatter from the maids making him feel uneasy, did something happen?

"What's going on here?" He asks the group, they turned to face him and gasped before bowing.

"Your highness we tried to stop him but he insisted on making breakfast himself"

He looked up ahead and saw Skye busy in the kitchen, the chef's green apron tightly wrapped around his waist. He walked towards Skye who was busy making pancake batter.

"Skye, what are you doing?" He asks.

"Building a house, can't you see I'm making you food"

What the....rude much? He sighed.

"Skye, we have people for that, you can leave it"

"No, i want to make food for you, can you atleast make me do that for you"

"Skye but the maids are available for you, i don't want you to tire yourself out"

He glass bowl was dropped to the floor shattering to pieces, the batter splashed over Skye's feet, Prince stepped forward but he was pushed back making him step on the glass.

"Fine, and here i was thinking of thanking you for taking me in and you do this, what a way to start a morning Prince"

Just then Star and Luke rushed in.

"What happened? Prince?" Star asked looking at the messy kitchen.

Luke could immediately tell what happened. He sighed.

"Skye, walk with me"

Prince watched the two walk off, he walked back to his room without a word, his cut up feet staining the marble floors making Star gasp.

"Put a bandaid on that!"

❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃

"Are you okay?" He asked. Skye sighed, the guilt was eating him up.

"I overreacted didn't i? It was not the hormones it's just....it's so hard to adjust to this new life, i had this idea that today i would wake up early and make everyone breakfast but Prince just started talking about maids and how they'll do it instead of me"

Luke patted Skye's shoulder.

"I know it's hard but you have to find a balance to avoid stress, I'll talk to the maids and make a schedule for you to cook once in awhile"

Skye smiled.

"I'd appreciate that"

"Good, now go get cleaned up, you have batter on your shoes and it's starting to smell funny"

❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃

Prince got out of the bathroom the same time Skye came inside the bedroom, they locked eyes.

"I'm sorry" they said at the same time.

Prince sighed.

"I'm going to be honest with you, i don't like the idea of you being near the stove, think of our baby"

"Prince I'm not going to broil our child so relax and the whole cooking thing i just wanted to surprise you but it seems you don't like it.....I'm sorry for the drama"

He stepped forward and hugged him.

"And I'm sorry for not trusting your decision making"

They pulled away from the hug and Skye smiled.

"I think I'm going to cry"

Prince chuckled

"And I'll be here to wipe those tears away"
