Phil's POV

Amelia slammed her hand on the table,"That is the worst fucking thing anyone has said to me Prince.", she said.

"I haven't slept with anyone since you. So you're the father that's for sure. And don't even try to come near me or our baby anymore, cause I don't want anyone that toxic near it, even it's own father!", She screamed and left the table, rushing out of the cafe with tears running down her face.

I get up to go after her but I find myself sitting back down. I fucked up. Big.Time.

Eric rushes back to our table. "What just happened? Don't tell me you messed this up", he gives me an exasperated look. " Wait. Don't answer me. Her rushing out was self-explanatory".

" What the fuck did you do?", Amelia's friend ran over to us . " I can't seem to find her. Just tell me what happened".

"Well, uh-uh umm", I can't seem to find any words to express myself.

"Phillipe!" , she yells . Does this girl not know who I am ? How dare she yell at me?

"Amelia told me that she was pregnant and I think that I didn't react in the way I should have", I say fidgeting with my sleeve.

" Please tell me,you didnt tell her that you didn't you want anything to do with her ", Madison speaks hurriedly and I can't really understand her.

" Madison, only dogs can hear you right now", Eric says trying to de-escalate the situation.

On receiving a glare from Madison, he says," I was just trying to say that I didn't understand you and so did Philip. Can you repeat it?".

" What's not to understand? Your friend - the prince is an asshole. It was so difficult for Amelia to tell him and he just blew her off. You know what? I just can't. I just can't stand here talking to this miserable guy. I gotta find Mia and make sure she's okay", she tells Eric and leaves.

'Ugh.I deserved that', I think aloud and cover my face in my hands.

"You'll deserve a punch to the face, if you don't find Amelia and sort this
shit out", Eric says visibly agitated.

I go to Amelia's dorm hoping she would be there. I knock on the door and a tearstained Amelia's opens the door. She sees me and immediately starts closing the door. I quickly wedge my foot , making it unable for her to do so.

Amelia opens the door again and before I can move my foot,bangs it close again , hurting my foot. This bitch!

"Ouch!", I yell,"That so frigging hurt!".

"Yeah? It hurt? Well Philip, that's what you did to me. You hurt me. I can't even stand looking at you. Just go".

"Amelia, I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I was saying. Can you just forget it and forgive me? ", I begged, rolling my eyes.

"How can you ask me to forget it? I can't at the moment. I need time and space. A lot of it", she said.

Okay. She's a girl who's pregnant, in pain and I put her through that. I've got to be diplomatic and understanding. What if she goes to the press? My reputation will be tarnished.

In a rushed voice I said, "Okay Mia, you don't need to forgive me right now. Take your time. But right now, let's talk this thing through. We need to think about our baby's future."

She thinks for a minute and then let's me enter her dorm.

" Let's get this straight, I don't want anything to do with you and with your money",she glares at me.

" I never said so-Oh, I did. Sorry. It was in the spur of the moment.It was impulsive", I say.

"Not to be snarky ,your majesty, but all everything you seem to do or say seems impulsive. If you can't think calmly in a tense situation, are you sure that you're fit to rule this country ?", Amelia asks , evidently still pissed.

"Moving on, what do you want to do? Are you keeping it?", I ask.

" Can you stop referring to our kid as it ? I'm keeping it ", she says. " I'm not the kind of person who could take a life. I'm becoming a doctor, for God's sake".

I don't say anything and sit on her bed. "Listen Mia, you're a strong and remarkable woman. You're pretty and smart. And witty too. But you've got to understand that I can't support you and our baby physically. I can help financially though. My father recently passed away and I'll have to take his place as King soon. Honestly, I don't think that I be there for you and our baby. Please understand", I say running my hand through my hair stressfully while talking.

" I understand. I don't even need your money. I can raise my baby alone", she says in contempt.

I get it actually. She's got a right to be pretty fucking mad at me. But I can't let her raise the baby all by herself. If word does get out, everyone will think, how is the baby of the Prince of Luxembourg being raised by the mother only?

So I say, "That's not gonna happen. So, how do we go on? What about us? ", I ask.

"Yeah Philip, what about us? I mean there's nothing between us right except the fact that we had amazing, mindblowing sex together and now we're having a child?".

I smiled at that. She was the fiesty, sarcastic type. My favorite type.

She rolled her eyes at my smile. "I'll have to talk to my mom first. She'll suggest the best.", I said, taking her hands in mine.

"What if she says no? As in you can't see or meet me or the baby?", she questioned.

She got me there. If mother says no, then it's a no. I could never see her or my baby again.

I groaned frustratedly. "I'll convince her. There's no way anyone can say no to me.", I say, winking.

She said nothing at that, just shrugged.

I smiled again. Amelia wasn't the type of girls who just would listen and agree to everything I said, just so I could be pleased.

If my mother agreed, it's going to be a difficult task handling her.

But I do love challenges.
