THE PRINCE AND I

🌹⁷⁵

Three days later....

"A year supply of diapers, thank you Jonny"

The man smiled in pride, he had just given the couple a gift worthy of being praised for.

It's been three days and today everyone was gathered in the palace gardens as they attended Skye's baby shower, the only attendees were Skye's family and in laws.

"Next up is mine" said Star, her big gift standing tall. Skye smiled and started to tear the wrapping paper.

"A big giant.....frog?"

Everyone laughed looking at the large plushie, it's beady eyes crossed with a tongue sticking out of the mouth.

"Wow mom....why a frog?" Prince asks.

"Because if it's  a girl she can kiss it and have her Prince and if it's a boy then he has something big to climb on"

Skye chuckled.

"Thanks Star, next up is my mom"

Sarah smiled and gave her gift to Skye, the box wrapped in blue paper. Skye opened the box and gasped.

"Mom....is this-"

"The blanket you wore on the day you were born? Yes. I had it cleaned and I'm happy to give it to you"

Skye smiled with teary eyes, he pulled the blanket out of the box for everyone to see, it was baby blue with the print of the clouds on the body of the blanket, his name embroidered on the corners.

"Thank you mom, i love it"

"Me! I'm next" Benedict says replacing his mother's box with his. Skye chuckled and started to tear the paper.

Everyone knew about Benedict's break up, he wasn't taking it that well. He never went on morning jogs, he started to wear baggy clothes and his curly hair was now shaved off.

"Are these....mittens' paw prints?" He asked. After the whole Benedict getting shot fiasco, Skye was told that his cat was killed in a hit and run, it saddened him but he was able to move on.

"Yep, three pairs of lockets. For you, Prince and the  baby"

He smiled.

"Thank you, i love it"

And finally it was Prince's turn. The king stood up with a small box. Skye smiled at him.

"Give it to me" he says making grabby hands. He was handed the small box and opened it.

"A key?"

"Yes, this is the key to our new home"

Skye frowned.

"But I thought-"

"I know but I've found a better one. Where there are no neighbors to look at us weirdly when we run around naked"

Skye blushed. They never did that!

"I love it. Whe are we moving in?"

"Today, let's go"

Jonathan watched his brother walk around looking all mopey and sad. He sighed and walked up to him.

"So that was a fun baby shower huh? First time attending" he says only to receive a nod. He sighed.

"Do you still love him?"

Benedict looked up in shock.

"I don't"

Jonathan scoffed.
