Three days later....

"A year supply of diapers, thank you Jonny"

The man smiled in pride, he had just given the couple a gift worthy of being praised for.

It's been three days and today everyone was gathered in the palace gardens as they attended Skye's baby shower, the only attendees were Skye's family and in laws.

"Next up is mine" said Star, her big gift standing tall. Skye smiled and started to tear the wrapping paper.

"A big giant.....frog?"

Everyone laughed looking at the large plushie, it's beady eyes crossed with a tongue sticking out of the mouth.

"Wow mom....why a frog?" Prince asks.

"Because if it's a girl she can kiss it and have her Prince and if it's a boy then he has something big to climb on"

Skye chuckled.

"Thanks Star, next up is my mom"

Sarah smiled and gave her gift to Skye, the box wrapped in blue paper. Skye opened the box and gasped.

"Mom....is this-"

"The blanket you wore on the day you were born? Yes. I had it cleaned and I'm happy to give it to you"

Skye smiled with teary eyes, he pulled the blanket out of the box for everyone to see, it was baby blue with the print of the clouds on the body of the blanket, his name embroidered on the corners.

"Thank you mom, i love it"

"Me! I'm next" Benedict says replacing his mother's box with his. Skye chuckled and started to tear the paper.

Everyone knew about Benedict's break up, he wasn't taking it that well. He never went on morning jogs, he started to wear baggy clothes and his curly hair was now shaved off.

"Are these....mittens' paw prints?" He asked. After the whole Benedict getting shot fiasco, Skye was told that his cat was killed in a hit and run, it saddened him but he was able to move on.

"Yep, three pairs of lockets. For you, Prince and the baby"

He smiled.

"Thank you, i love it"

And finally it was Prince's turn. The king stood up with a small box. Skye smiled at him.

"Give it to me" he says making grabby hands. He was handed the small box and opened it.

"A key?"

"Yes, this is the key to our new home"

Skye frowned.

"But I thought-"

"I know but I've found a better one. Where there are no neighbors to look at us weirdly when we run around naked"

Skye blushed. They never did that!

"I love it. Whe are we moving in?"

"Today, let's go"

Jonathan watched his brother walk around looking all mopey and sad. He sighed and walked up to him.

"So that was a fun baby shower huh? First time attending" he says only to receive a nod. He sighed.

"Do you still love him?"

Benedict looked up in shock.

"I don't"

Jonathan scoffed.

"Yeah right. You love the guy Benedict, even i can see that and you know how overprotective i am over you and Skye"

Benedict sighed, it was true. He couldn't stop thinking about Xavier, would he still want him back though?

"I don't think he wants me anymore....he even blocked me on his Instagram"

"But you know where he lives so, let's go see him"

"You'd do that? For me?"

Jonathan patted his brother on the shoulder.

"Yeah bro, I'd do anything for you guys. Now come on, let's go find your man"

═───────◇───────═

They stood in front of their new home. Skye couldn't believe that he'd found his home sweet home. The house was a modern mansion with ten rooms, an outdoor pool, a gazebo, a sauna, gym and five garages. Prince opened the door.

"After you my love"

Skye walked in and smiled. The homey feeling made him feel welcomed, the humid cinnamon scented air made him relax.

"I can't believe you pulled this in just three days"

"What can I say, I'm a guy who works fast"

Skye turned to him.

"I wouldn't say that fast" he says with a wink.

Prince smirked.

"Let's head upstairs, there's something i want to show you"

Skye bit his lip.

"I can't wait"

═───────◇───────═

Jonathan's car stopped at the front parking lot at Xavier's building, the two males went inside and boarded the elevator.

"What if he doesn't want me? Or worse, we catch him with another guy?"

Jonathan face palmed.

"This is Xavier we're talking about, isn't he the same guy who says it's either you or no one else?"

Ding!

Benedict felt his mouth go dry. They went towards the apartment and he knocked. A few shuffles could be heard from the inside and the door opened with a click revealing an unkempt Xavier. His hair in a dirty ponytail held together by a chopstick, his scruffy beard burying his jawline.

"Xavier?"

"Oh hey Benedict, how may I help you?"

Benedict was lost for words. How can one person look like this in just three days?!

"Can we talk?"

"Sure" he replied opening the door wider. They looked around and saw Takeout boxes spilling out of the dustbin, the blanket on the sofa smelled rancid making their noses burn.

"Is this about us getting back together?" Xavier asked. He could read Benedict's face while he sat across the room.

"Yeah.....if you still want me that is"

Xavier noticed Benedict's head, he was bald. Was the reason for him shaving his hair their breakup?

"I'm going to be honest with you Benedict....when I said I don't want kids i didn't mean it, i just wanted you to be safe"

"Xavier you can't make decisions for me....at the end this is my body and if i want kids then I'll have them...with or without you"

He nodded.

"I understand and i accept that. But I want us to give this a try....atleast when we breakup it will be because of a valid reason"

Benedict smiled.

"I'd like that"

Jonathan smiled and got to his feet. He sighed.

"Now I'm sure you two are about to go uhm....duck fishing, I'll leave you to it"

Once the door closed the two remained in an awkward silence. Benedict sighed.

"Do you want me to shave your beard for you"

Xavier snickered. He ran his hand through the scruff.

"I like it though"

"Well you're my boyfriend now and i hate it"

"Okay okay. Only if you promise me on thing though"

"Anything"

He sat up and smiled.

"Don't shave your head....i loved your hair"

Benedict smirked.

"You only say that because you won't have anything to pull during sex"

"There are other things i can hold on to....like your waist, your legs"

Benedict felt heat rush to his face. How did their talk suddenly turn into a sexual conversation?

"I see....."

"Ben....i love you"

"I love you too...let's not breakup again"
