We quietly ate breakfast in the kitchen table as a sad atmosphere was set between all of us.

I looked over at Frankie and noticed he had the same concern in his eyes as I did. Danny sat close beside him and even he wasn't his joyful self.

It was like he knew something was wrong.

I glanced up at Royce and frowned when I saw the dark bags under his red rimmed eyes. He looked exhausted and his dull eyes showed nothing but pain in them.

He was completely lost in his own mind and has been this way for a couple of days.

"Royce, please eat your pancakes." I spoke up in worry when he barely took a bite of his food.

Royce didn't reply and instead got up to leave the kitchen. I exchanged looks with Frankie and knew we had to do something.

I got up from my seat and followed Royce up the stairs. I went to our room and found him curled up by the bed. He had his face hidden and lightly rocked himself.

It was the most heartbreaking thing to see.

Royce looked so vulnerable..

I quietly entered the room and closed the door behind me. I sat next to Royce and tried to hug him the best I could.

He flinched at my sudden touch but relaxed when he realized it was me. I covered the side of his face with loving kisses to try to ease his misery.

"It was only a nightmare, Royce. Our little sister is fine." I tried to comfort him.

Not long ago Royce woke up screaming from a horrible nightmare he had. He explained how real it felt when he got a message from his dad saying my mom had a miscarriage.

I have never seen Royce so pale and frighten in my life. It really upset him which is why he's been so sick lately.

Royce wrapped his arms around me so I held him as he deeply inhaled and relaxed his tense body.

"We need to go home.." he said in a low voice.

"I think so too." I replied and caressed his cheek.

We got up and did exactly that.

Once we had some of our things packed, we said goodbye to Frankie and Danny.

Danny cried and wouldn't let go of Royce so it was hard to see that. I knew it also hurt Royce to leave him behind but we needed to leave.

We thanked Frankie and promised to be back to help him take care of Danny so he didn't have to miss work.

We left together and paused when we were standing in front of the familiar door to our house. I twisted the door knob and stepped inside the empty house.

Royce closed the door behind him and went straight to our parent's room. I followed him and was surprised to see him so eager to go inside.

I entered the room soon after and almost cried when I saw him hugging my mom in a tight embrace. He had a protective hand on her now large belly as his eyes were closed shut.

My mom covered her mouth with a hand as tears fell down her cheeks. She was reading a baby book and didn't seem as surprised as me to see Royce's actions.

She gently rubbed his back in a soothing way and whispered something in his ear. It was like watching a mother comforting her child after a bad day.

My eyes started to sting with tears but I quickly blinked them away.

Royce rubbed her belly and even leaned down to place a sweet kiss on it.

Royce needs to take his medicine soon before his nightmares get worse, but to get that we need to go back to his uncle's house..

Which he doesn't want to do.

"Chris, come here honey." my mom's gentle voice called for me.

I went up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She smiled as she wiped her eyes.

"Now that my boys are home, why don't you guys get some rest while I cook something delicious." my mom said in a cheery tone and squeezed Royce in a tight hug.

He helped her get up and we watched as she hurried downstairs to cook. She was so excited it made me smile.

"How are you feeling?" I asked Royce when he sat on the corner of the bed. He ran his hands down his face and rubbed his eyes.

"Very tired, but I'm happy now that my little pumpkin is okay." he replied.

"Little pumpkin?" I asked with a light chuckle.

It was the probably the cutest name ever. Somehow Royce loved children and children seemed to love him.

I'm pretty sure some people would be shocked to see Royce so calm and gentle with kids.

"That's what I'm calling her until Angela and my dad decide on a name." Royce answered with a small smile.

My heart literally melted at his sweet words. I leaned down to kiss his cheek. He held me close to him and grabbed my hand when he got up.

We walked out of our parent's room then headed to mine. It was the same as I left it so I was happy to be home.

"I would take a nap with you but it's daylight and Angela would see us." Royce said as I walked over to my bed, ready to take the longest nap ever.

I groaned in understanding and received a kiss on the lips in return, "You'll live." he chuckled.

He left my room soon after causing me to miss him already.

I ended up taking a three hour nap and felt refreshed when I woke up. My soft blankets and comfty pillow was all I ever needed.

My mom peeked into my room to check if I was awake. "Dinner is ready if you're hungry." she said with a smile.

I got up and fixed my messy hair before following her downstairs. I was about to get some water until I saw Royce setting the table.

"Royce was kind enough to help me cook. It was mostly him doing all the cooking since he wouldn't let me touch anything heavy or sharp." my mom commented as she made her way to the table.

I looked at Royce and wasn't surprised at the way he was acting so protective of my mom.

He didn't want anything to happen to our baby sister and I didn't blame him for being paranoid.

It was actually cute seeing Royce so protective and caring. My mom seemed to enjoy it too since Mark worked all day and Pablo wasn't home.

"I forgot to get some napkins from the store. I'll quickly go get some so don't eat without your mother!" my mom teased and rushed out the kitchen to grab her car keys and purse.

I helped Royce set the table as we patiently waited for my her to come back.

"How was your nap?" Royce asked when I leaned against the kitchen counter.

"Amazing." I replied with a smile.

Royce smiled back and set the last fork down. "I'm happy to hear that." he replied and walked towards me.

He stood in front of me and placed his hands beside my hips. I looked up at him and soon our lips were attached.

His hands quickly were soon pressed under my shirt and in less than a second I was lifted off the ground and set on the kitchen counter.

Royce stood between my legs as my arms wrapped around his neck. I roughly sucked on his tongue then felt his teeth biting down on my bottom lip.

I moaned into his mouth when I felt his hand roam up and down my back like he was eager to just take it off. He pressed himself against me more and made our crotches rub against eachother.

This made me hornier and I was starting to think how much time we had until my mom got back.

Maybe we could rush upstairs and have time for a quickie. Not doing anything sexual with Royce for a couple of weeks has been stressful.

Especially since we were both sexually deprived.

And our heated makeout sessions proved it. My fingers ran through the back of his hair as I tugged on the end of the strands.

I wanted him so bad.

Royce started to leave wet open mouth kisses on my neck, causing me to bite down on my lip to stop my groaning. He sucked and bit with no mercy and I knew fresh hickeys would be left.

"I promise I'll take care of you tonight." his warm breath whispered in my ear.

His soft hands held my chin firmly as he placed loving kisses on my mouth.

"I don't mean to interrupt anything but my chicken is still in the oven.." my mom's voice suddenly spoke out.

We turned to look at her and I almost fell off the counter once realizing she saw us.

"Mom...I-uh.." I tried to explain but my mom held up her hand to stop me.

"No need to explain, Chris. I knew what you two have been doing for awhile. Now help me get that chicken out before it burns!" my mom exclaimed more worried about dinner.

I got off the counter and stood frozen for awhile.

She knew?..

Since when?..

Does Mark know?..

Did this mean she was okay with us being together?..

She wasn't disgusted?..

"Let me get it out for you, Angela. It might be too heavy for you to carry." Royce said and seemed to be less shocked than me.

I stepped aside and watched as Royce helped my mom like what just happened five seconds ago was totally normal.

"Chris, can you give me the napkins from the grocery bag please. I also bought some yummy cheesecake for dessert." my mom said with a kind smile.

I nodded and handed her what she asked for without saying a word.

Somehow I never expected my mom to find out about Royce and I, but deep down inside I was happy she did since her sweet smile never changed...

^*^*^*^*^**^*^**^*^*

I tightly grabbed on to the headboard as my forehead rested on it for support. Royce's hands gripped hard on my hips as he thrusted in and out of me.

The bed rocked along with his movements which made me happy that nobody was home.

I let out a loud moan when Royce suddenly wrapped his arm around my stomach and quickened his pace. I arched my back to get more of him and felt him fill me up so good with his cock, it sent waves of pleasure throughout my sweaty body.

My legs were starting to shake as my knees were firm on the mattress and my hands on the headboard of the bed.

It was intense love making.

Royce stopped and pressed his chest against my back to suck a bruise on my shoulder. Once he was happy with the mark he made on my skin, he continued to aggressively thrust inside me.

I wrapped my hand around myself and knew I wouldn't be able to hold back my climax any longer.

Weeks without Royce made me weak to his touch.

"R-Royce..harder.." I groaned when he started to hit my prostate without mercy.

I moved my hand faster on my own shaft and licked my lips as the feeling below my abdomen intensified.

I came hard on the headboard once I felt Royce fill me with his own cum without warning. He rode his orgasm still inside me then gently pulled out.

I wiped my sweaty forehead and felt so much better now. Royce gave me a wet kiss on the mouth then guided me to the bathroom where we showered and ended up having sex again...

The next day we went shopping for a birthday gift for Danny. We went to Toys-R-Us and tried looking for a toy that Danny would love.

He was a very destructive kid so most of his toys were either broken or had missing pieces.

Royce suggested an electronic monster truck with a control which I agreed on. We went separate ways to find the toy faster and waste less time.

I walked through the barbie aisle filled with a variety of girly dolls and basically every pink toy available.

I thought about my little sister and couldn't wait to buy her cute baby clothes and dolls.

"Can I help you look for something?" somebody asked beside me.

A petite girl with glasses stood beside me with a warm smile on her thin face.

"Actually you can. Do you guys have those monster trucks that come with a control?" I kindly asked her.

She nodded and guided me to the aisle across the store.

I was very far from where I needed to be.

"This is where we mostly have hot wheels, truck and car toys so you'll be able to find it here. Need anything else?" she questioned and patiently waited for my answer.

"Thank you, that'll be it." I replied causing her to leave and help another lost customer.

I searched for the toy in the aisle and didn't notice Royce not too far away talking to a guy I didn't know.

I almost clapped in joy when I found the toy for Danny. It was dark blue and had red flames painted on it.

I turned to leave but stopped when Royce continued talking to his 'friend'.

The guy had brunette hair and had some really pretty green eyes to match his perfect cheekbones.

I stood awkwardly and didn't know if I should interrupt them. My mom had a doctor appointment soon and she wanted us to join her so I had no other choice but to interrupt.

I walked over to Royce and tugged on his shirt to get his attention. He turned around and his smile quickly faded.

"Uh, I have to go now. I'll call you later, bro." Royce said and did the usual handshake with the guy.

"Alright man, take care." the guy replied and was about to leave but remembered something.

"Oh by the way Cymphony said she can't meet with you tonight because she got in a fight with her m-" he started saying but Royce cut him off.

"Okay thanks." he said with gritted teeth then gave me a quick stare.

I stayed quiet and looked down at the ground. I held the toy truck closer to me and didn't know what to think.

"It's not what you think so don't start overthinking it. I'm not a cheater." Royce seriously told me then kissed the corner of my mouth.

"Then what am I suppose to think?" I questioned back, obviously upset.

"I'll explain it to you later brat. Now come on we have to go." Royce said in an annoyed tone and started to walk away.

"Tell me now or I'm not leaving anywhere with you." I replied.

Royce turned around and narrowed his eyes at me, "Stop being so damn dramatic. We don't have time for tantrums right now." he half yelled.

I put the toy down and crossed my arms to show how serious I was.

Royce rolled his eyes and walked towards me, "Chris, I'm not kidding. Get the fucking toy and lets go!" he shouted.

"Not until you tell me why you were meeting Cymphony tonight! Why didn't you tell me? How long have you been seeing her in secret?" I yelled back in an accusing tone.

"Will you stop assuming things and just listen to me!? You can't forbid me from seeing people and you definitely don't need to know who I hangout with. I can do whatever the hell I please." Royce replied with a pointed finger and got closer to my face.

"You don't fucking own me!" he finished yelling and made my eyes burn with tears.

I picked up the toy then rushed by him before his cruel words could finish breaking my heart...
