One Night Only by cshinard

*You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person and your life is changed forever.* College senior Scarlett Newton thought she had life figured out until it took her on a while night of debauchery. An unexpected break up leads to a one night stand with at least eighteen years' worth of consequences. It wouldn't be so bad if she at least knew the last name of the child's father. One graduation and four princess themed birthday parties later, things may have finally found their way back to normalcy. A terribly uneventful day on the job, where she knew she was destined to do more, may finally be willing to give her something in return for her hard work. The full name and title of her fling: Prince Dalton George Hathaway Duke of Ravensburg England. If you thought it would be hard to tell a random hook up that he's a father now then you're in for a wild ride. Breaking the news to a confused Prince, disapproving Queen and a testosterone filled King definitely were not on the agenda for today. Highest ranking: Royal #1, King #1, Teen #1, Moving on #2 This is my first draft and yes mistakes were made. I'll be editing in the future. Hope you enjoy for now.
