Xerxes didn't have the time to wait for Leon as he started to do his own observations. The first thing he thought to do was check her blood pressure which was a little high but not enough to cause her to faint. Meaning it could only be her blood sugar which he checked then called Leon after seeing her sugar levels had dropped.

"She's fine. Like you said, it was her sugar levels and exhaustion X which cause her to faint–– Have Riley been sleeping?" Leon asked, making Xerxes stare at him as he thought.

"Yeah, but she does be up and down to the bathroom a lot. Why, what's up?"

"Nothing I know sometimes pregnant women have a hard time sleeping during their third trimester some can sleep all the time others have a hard time getting comfortable. I'm thinking her exhaustion is making it hard on her. Anyhow when she wakes, have her to drink some orange juice. It should get her blood sugar back up some more. If she wants to eat ice cream, let her just not too much for it to go back all the way up." Leon said, and Xerxes nodded what. He didn't know Riley was still eating ice cream with or without their permission.

"Yeah, thanks, Leon––– Hey, another question before you go. Pregnant women are your field, not mine," Xerxes said as Leon hung his doctor's coat back up.

"Wassup?"

"I know Riley's about have the baby soon, but I made a promise to my dad that our first-born child will be born on German Soil. Could we still make it, or she can't go?"

"She's six and a half months. The deadline is eight. I mean, for a normal pregnant woman without Riley's condition, I would say she could travel anytime between now until she's eight months. For her, I say if I were you take her immediately, meaning tomorrow or even later today, if you want to stick to your promise. We'll have to make sure she drinks a lot of water on the flight tho." Leon said, making him nod. Xerxes smirked to himself because it seemed like he was going to have to kidnap Riley yet again.

"Should we pack now or later?" Leon asked as he was about to walk out the door, making Xerxes look up to him. It was going to be now because he didn't want to wait until it was too late.

"Pack now and be ready within two hours. I'll call our pilot and do me a favor let everyone else know." Xerxes said, making Leon nod as he left the room. Once the door shut, X sighed, leaning over, kissing Riley's forehead then her lips.

"You'll gonna be just fine, Meine Königin," He said to her as he kissed her again before leaving the clinic. Xerxes was about to step onto the elevator to go pack when Mariah came walking up to him. Right now, she was the last person he wanted to see.

"Is she okay?" She asked. Xerxes wanted so bad to curse her ass out again but didn't have the energy to do so. He was going to leave that up to his brother when she told him what she had done.

"She's fine, Riah. She was exhausted, and her blood sugar dropped, causing her to faint. Riley's getting fluids right now, and she still sleep–– go pack your things we leaving within two hours."

"Where are we going?"

"Germany. Problem?" He said as she shook her head, no stepping in the elevator with him. It was the first time X noticed the bruises around her neck. She had to sense Xerxes staring because her hand automatically when up to her neck.

"I got burnt."

"I wasn't born yesterday, Mariah. Remember you trapped your fucking self," He said, stepping off the elevator going straight for the steps.
