"We have an unconscious patient, experienced a gunshot wound days ago. Has an allergy to penicillin"

Jonathan watched his brother get wheeled into the emergency room. Sarah and Xavier then arrived minutes later.

"What happened?" Sarah asked.

"I don't know....we were just talking and he experienced a slight pain then he fainted"

Xavier frowned. Could it be that the reason was because of what they did last night?

"Another thing....he....he was bleeding"

The two frowned.

"Bleeding?" Xavier says. Sarah snapped her fingers.

"Could it be that....he had his you know....period"

The two men frowned, then why is it happening after all these years?

"Let's hope is nothing more serious"

═───────◇───────═

"Will he be okay?"

"They'll keep me posted"

Prince nodded and held Skye's hands.

"Don't worry too much. He'll be fine"

Skye sighed. He had just been told that his brother was back at the hospital. He wanted to go there but his mother told him not to.

"You're right, i shouldn't worry too much. Have you had your food yet?" He asks

"Not yet, i heard the chef was waiting for you though"

"Shoot, i gotta go"

Prince watched him walk out of the room. He smiled.

"I have to take that dress off him later on"

Skye made his way inside the kitchen. The kitchen staff bowed to him.

"I'm so sorry you guys, uhm where are the samples let me have a taste"

The chefs smiled at him and placed the small plates on the table. He took a bite of the first one, it was a piece of steak with grilled asparagus.

"The steak is a little well done. Prince....i mean the king likes his steak medium rare, the asparagus is great."

"Yes your majesty"

It took ten minutes for him to go through the samples and to him everything was tasty. He stood up.

"Lunch can be served now, make sure to have some yourselves too"

They gasped making him frown.

"Do you only cook and not eat?" He asked.

"Yes....we're not worthy to eat the kind of food the royals eat"

He sighed. Well then things will have to change around here.

"From now on, when you cook make sure to count yourselves in the meal plan, i will not have my staff be under fed"

The staff shared an awkward look. Could it be done? Just like that? But nonetheless they nodded.

"Yes your majesty"

═───────◇───────═

"The patient has started ovulating. I've been Benedict's doctor since he was born and I'm happy to see this. It's time for him to start the pill unless he's planning on having kids"

Xavier couldn't believe this. Benedict could really get pregnant?

"Wait i have a question" he says. Everyone in the room turned to him.

"Let's say he gets pregnant, how will he give birth"

"Csection of course" the doctor replied like it was something he's been doing all his life.

"What if he wants a natural birth?"

The doctor pondered the question for a moment.

"We can always make an artificial birth canal by making an incision on his rectum all the way to his womb"

"Jesus....this is just complicated, will he even survive through the labour process"

Sarah held Xavier's shoulder. Clearly the man was panicking.

"Benedict is strong, also he's not yet with child so i think you two still need to have a chat about this"

He sighed. She was right.

"Okay, may we see him now?"

"Sure, he's awake and ready to go home"

═───────◇───────═

"Can someone tell me why the kitchen staff is not eating the same food as us?"

Everyone looked up from their plate. The question was just out of the blue.

"Why do you ask this dear?" Star asked.

"Because I was telling them they can serve themselves after we've had our share and they were shaking in fear saying something like they're not worthy. So tell me why is it like that. Aren't they also humans who deserve to eat good food? Especially when they're the ones who cooked the said food?"

Prince didn't even know that was happening. Was their staff treated like this all these time?

"I don't even know what to say" Luke says. He knew what the reason was. It was because of Star.

"Skye....honey, these people don't even know how to use a fork and knife, how will they enjoy these foods without the proper training?" She said.

Skye's jaw dropped. So Star, the nice queen was just a snob pretending to be nice for the sake of being nice?

"You told me you wore the crown for the people and i should make the people proud. You as the queen could've taught them, instead of spending time at the mall buying clothes you wear once a day, how about catering for your kitchen staff? You're lucky they didn't poison you in spite"

"Why am i being attacked? Its not like i told them not to eat the food? It's been like this since i arrived so i just carried on the tradition"

"Fine, I'll break the tradition and teach them myself"

"Skye.....please be calm" Prince whispered. Skye sighed.

"I'm sorry it's just....it's upsetting that i get to be here having a plate worth $300 while the people who make it eat bread and water, not fair at all"

"I understand you baby, I'm sure they've heard you and by dinner, they'll have what we're having"

He nodded and smiled.

"Sorry for being dramatic"

The king chuckled.

"It's okay....how about after lunch we head back home and let me....give you a massage"

"I'd like that"

═───────◇───────═

"You even said something about Duck fishing?"

They laughed.

"I can't believe i said that, maybe i was too confused"

"Okay okay, no more teasing. Jonny and I will head back to the supermarket and pick up the groceries i left, you two stay here and talk things out" says Sarah before she walks out.

"What's on your mind?" Benedict asked. He could see the distress in Xavier's face.

Xavier sighed.

"You.....are you alright?"

Benedict smiled.

"I'm fine, just a little period, i can handle that"

He chuckled. He admires Benedict's way of thinking.

"Benedict......I don't want kids"

Benedict's smile washed away to be replaced by a blank stare. Xavier didn't want kids?

"But....but why?"

"The doctor told us about these procedures and I can't help but feel that you'll not make it"

He frowned.

"So you don't have faith in my strength that I'll make it? Do I look like some weak person to you Xavier?"

"No that's not what I mean....it's just, you said it yourself that your brain is slowly growing so what would happen if you add a baby into that mix"

Benedict scoffed. He couldn't believe this.

"You know what, i regret saying no to the operation of removing the extra parts i had because I thought I'd give you something special like a your own child and you say this?"

He held Benedict's hands only for it to be pulled away.

"Just because I don't want kids doesn't mean i don't want you"

"Oh yeah? Then i don't want you"

The words struck him like lightning. He felt a slight pain on his chest.

"You...don't want me?"

"Yes, I'll never be with someone who doesn't want kids, especially when i can give the person kids myself"

He let out a cold chuckle. So it was like that?

"I see.....well i wish you happiness in life" he whispered and went to the door.

Benedict bit his trembling bottom lip. Why did he say those hurtful words? He wanted to call back to him, tell him he was wrong but...it was already done.

"Xavier....I'm so sorry"
