Xander POV:
"I don't want you to leave," I tell Charlie that night in my room.
"And I don't want to leave," she says as I play with her hair. I lean in to kiss her, she closes the distance.
We kiss until my mother comes in, "Charlie you have-oh my goodness!"
"Mother!" I exclaim jumping off the bed.
She eyes me, "we'll talk about this Xander. Charlie dear you have a phone call," Charlie nods and leaves the room quickly. "How long?"
"How long what?" I chose to play the oblivious card.
"Xander," she warns.
I sigh, "a little over a month."
"I figured you liked one of the Princesses. But I guess it is Charlie," she says. I smile when she says this, "will you make it public?"
"I don't know, that is what we were going to talk about before we got... sidetracked."
My mother laughs, "clearly."
Charlie POV: (same time as conversation)
I take the phone from the maid, "hello?"
"Charlie?"
"Chase?" I say.
"Hey! So I just wanted to let you know that it will be only me and dad picking you up tomorrow."
I grip the phone tight, "why? Is mom okay?"
Chase hesitates before saying, "yes, yes she is fine! She fell down the stairs and with the baby they are keeping her for a couple of days."
"Is he okay?"
"Dad or Cory?" She asks.
I think about how my father must be reacting to this, "both."
"Honestly, I think Cory is doing better then dad. He was pacing the floor after she fell."
"I bet," I say.
"So how's lover boy?"
"Chase," I warn, "we are both fine."
She laughs, "I bet. Are you going to make it public?"
"Are you?" I challenge.
"You know why I can't," she says sternly.
"I don't know if we are or not, we are going to talk about it." I tell her.
"Okay. I'll let you get back to Xander. Love you Sissy."
"Love you too Sissy," I hang up the phone.
Xander POV:
I sit on my bed waiting for Charlie to come back. She enters my room with a big smile on her face. "I have something to ask you." I tell her.
"Okaaaay" she says eyeing me.
I smile at her, "come sit," she walks over wearily. "Charlie," I say pushing a pice of hair behind her ear, "are we going to make our relationship public?"
"I was going to ask you the very same thing."
"I don't see any reason I hide it, do you?"
She smiles, "no, not really. So how are we going to tell them?"
I smile slyly at her, "you'll see." We talk and laugh and kiss. "Can I stay here tonight?"
I smile and kiss her temple, "of course."
America POV:
"Maxon, stop pacing!" I exclaim. "I'm fine, the baby is fine. So you need to calm down."
He stops and looks at me, "I'm sorry my dear."
"Maxon," I warn he smiles at me.
There is a knock in the bedroom door, "come in."
The door opens and Chase and a doctor come in, "mom I called Charlie do tell her that me and dad would be there to collect her when the plane lands."
"Alright." I say.
"Your Majesty, I came to check on you." The doctor says.
"I'm doing just fine. But Maxon is having something like an anxiety attack." I tell the doctor.
"I'm fine doctor. But is the baby okay?" Maxon asks.
"Yes, when we checked at the hospital he is doing just fine. But if anything else happens we are going to put you on bed rest, America."
"See Maxon, I told you that I am fine and the baby is fine." Maxon smiles and kisses the top of my head. The doctor leaves.
"Mom, is it weird to have a baby inside you?" My daughter asks sitting in between us on the bed.
"No, it was when I had you and your sister but that was because it was my first. But when I felt the two of you kick for the first time, it was amazing and a little scary. Your father couldn't stop placing his hands on my stomach to feel you too kick."
She giggles, "when will he start to kick?"
"About a month," Maxon says.
"Well you better wake Charlie and I up if it happens in the middle of the night," she tells us.
"We will." Maxon promises her.
We talk all night when I notice that she has fallen asleep, "Maxon get your camera." He smiles and gets one of his many cameras and takes the picture, we have one like this when Chase was little and she had a bad dream she came here and fell asleep just like this.
Charlie POV:
I wake up with Xander's arms around me, "Xander," I whisper to wake him up.
"Good morning my dear," he smiles. I crinkle my nose in disgust he laughs and kisses my nose.
"I have to go finish packing, would you care to join me?"
"I would love to," he says getting up and pulling me with him.
****time laps to when she has to leave****
For some reason there are cameras by the plane, I hug each of royal family members, saving Xander for last. He hugs me then presses his lips to mine, I hear the cameras click, he pulls back, "give me a warning next time." I scold.
He laughs, "I'll walk you to the plane." We walk up the stairs.
I wrap my arms around his neck, "I love you." And I kiss him.
"I love you too," he says when he pulls back, he kisses my cheek and walks down the stairs when he gets down, I run down the stairs and jump into his arms and wrap my arms around his neck again. "Charlie, you have to go."
"I know. I love you," I say.
"I love you too. Now go, I'll call you." He says. I run up the stairs and sit in the plane, and that is when the tears fall slowly down my face.
