THE MODEL & I

Skye looked through Sam's work of the day, they had coloured flags and world maps, along with the alphabets.

Prince came down the stairs, carrying Sam. He sets his son down on the highchair and hands him a plate of spaghetti.

"How did he do?" He asked.

"He did well. The tutor said he could be a protégé" Skye responds. Prince sat down and looked through the papers.

"I guess those 5000 piece puzzles helped huh?" He teases and Skye laughed, recalling the time he was pregnant. He was obsessed with jigsaw puzzles.

"Sam has smart parents, he is bound to be smart and even if he wasn't, he'll still have his father's wisdom"

Prince smiled and squeezed Skye's thigh.

"Don't flatter me too much"

Skye blushed and looked around before his hand grabbed the King's crotch.

"Don't tease me too much"

Prince smirked.

"Touché"

Xavier hands Benedict a plate of macaroni and cheese. Benedict had requested it as it had been a long time since he had the dish.

"This looks delicious" Benedict says making Xavier blush.

"I tried my best. So tell me, when is the next appointment?"

"In two months. That's when my first trimester ends. But we can have sonograms taken every three weeks"

Xavier nods and rubs Benedict's tummy.

"I cannot wait. We should really look for a bigger house"

"Yeah. Maybe in that neighbourhood where Skye and Prince lived in? It was safe and the neighbours have kids plus the school is not very far"

"Good idea. I'll talk to my realtor about it"

Benedict nodded and took a few bites of his mac n cheese.

"Have you heard from Cj?"

"Nope and I don't want to. He is dead to me" Xavier says. Benedict nodded. It was probably for the best.

"Do you want to come to our tea party? Skye invited us. We're to wear formal clothes and get to try on the royal jewels"

"Well....Prince invited me to a golfing game so I'll be there with him"

"Golfing? Since when?" Benedict asked in shock.

"I don't play it, that's the thing. But Prince invited me so we could hang out"

Benedict nodded. Seems like the two were getting along.

"I wonder where Johnny is? He's been distant lately"

Jonathan opened the door and Cameron followed behind. He turns on the lights and Cameron looked around. Jonathan seemed to like black and white as that was the whole theme of his condo. On the table there were stacks of neatly organized papers. The place had a unique scent to it, Cameron couldn't place it.

"This is my place. Let me show you around" says Jonathan as he walked ahead of his guest.

"This is the spare room. I regularly clean it so you don't have to worry about dust mites"
