"Where do I begin? Should I tell you How bad I need you now You're underneath my skin But I'm confused My head is spinning all around I waited so long I need to know, darling What is on your mind
Normally I try to run And I might even want to hide 'Cause I never knew what I wanted 'Til I looked into your eyes So am I in this alone? What I'm looking for is a sign That you feel how I feel for you Baby please don't let me go"
"Show me, your heaven's right here baby Touch me, so I know I'm not crazy Never have I ever met somebody like you Used to be afraid of love and what it might do But God damn, you got me in love again"
Atticus & Romeo - Secrets
@aprincestale
Feeling the fingers in his hair makes him lean into the touch ,he had missed him even though they had talked and texted and emailed. “Is it bad that I wanted you that badly? Have you seen yourself in that uniform? My god you are so fucking sexy.” The lips against his own leaves him trembling and when he feels the brief kiss it leaves him wanting more. When Romeo moves away from him he sees he looks just as he had when they had when they walked into the room. His uniform back in perfect placement above his perfectly muscular body. Damned perfect Prince Charming he chuckles to himself. Watching the other man remove the whip and open the door he nods and follows him outside of the room and out into the hallway. As they walk and the older man talks he look to him and his met with his chocolate brown hues, his face pales when he asks if he wants to meet his mother. What if his mother did not like him? What if his mother thought he was too young like Romeo kept thinking when he first talked to him that night in the kitchen? The way he talked about his mother thought she seemed like a lovely woman. It takes him a moment but he finally does speak, “Yes, I want to meet her. I know how much she means to you. I will not lie and say I am not nervous. I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
The Prince smiles from the others words he knew what Atticus’s was saying too him, he tilts his head to one side. “I don’t feel like that at all. I’m king now. I have a choice in what I do and how I do it. I want you to feel as if you have a choice too. Do you feel as if you do?. With marriage, the baby?” He wanted to ensure Atticus wasn’t feeling under pressure to marry him or become a father too early. “I want to make you King too. So you would rule beside me as my equal. That way you could help me with decisions. Help me rule. Assuming you love my country as much as me”. When the other shifts closer Romeo doesn’t move his hand holding firmly onto Atticus’s his eyes closing over as he feels those lips so close to his neck. “I missed you too so much. I wished you were with me. I always wish you were with me”. A smile touches his lips as he feels those lips moving up his neck making a shivers run down his spine and a moan leave his lips. He sucks in a breathe as his own lips seek out Atticus’s in a tender kiss. “And I love you, more then I can put into words. Now we have a child on the way I love you even more if that makes any sense”. His lips meet Atticus’s again in at first a tender loving kiss and yet he can’t help but part his lips wanting, needing and craving more.
Feeling the other part his lips, Atticus takes this as a sign to deepen the kiss a bit more and he slides his tongue past his lips and brushes it softly against Romeo’s. He can taste him the unique essence that was just him that he craved when he was not around and it makes him hum deep within his throat. His free hand comes up to cup the back of the older man’s neck to hold him closer to him as he moves his mouth in a dance with the other’s. The interlaced hands still rested atop the small bump and Atticus still refused to move it for now. Pulling back from the kiss he smiles against Romeo’s lips not wanting to move back just yet. “I used to fantasize about one day being with you so why would marrying you ever be something I would ever have to be forced to do? I have just always wanted to be yours.” he says with a soft nip to the other’s bottom lip. “As for the baby. I always did want children but I was scared that was never an option with us. That you would never want it. So no, I do not feel pressure with the baby either. I want it more then anything and that scares me.” Pressing his lips against Romeo’s again for a few moments, feeling as if he is making up for the missed days apart he does break apart again so he can finish answering the other. Kissing a path again down the older man’s neck he whispers his lips against his pulse point. “If that is what you want then I will do it. I just want to make you happy anyways and you know I will do anything for you.” he says with a chuckle. The thought did scare him though. He was born with no title and just some random guy before his father was elected Pulling back he looks to the clock and smiles, “If we are to stop and get you something to eat then we should leave now. I think the sooner we get to see the doctor the sooner we will both we at ease and have more answers and know where to go from then.”

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
Romeo didn’t want to think about the damage he could have done without even knowing it too their child. If he had known he would never have drank as much as he had. He glances at the other giving a small nod when he says it’s ok for him to be nervous. He presses his lips back against Atticus’s a hint of a smile forming, he was glad to be back with the other and hoped soon Atticus would be living with him in London. “Then you will make a good husband” he says playfully as his hand rubs against his small baby bump. Shaking his head quickly “I’m not rushing to come out or marry you. I want this. Us. I also desperately want this baby, I don’t care that it wasn’t planned”. He smiles the hand on his bump moving to take Atticus’s and lace their fingers together holding them against their baby. “I know you don’t but I’m offering it too you. To make you my equal in everything. So you can stand beside me and not behind me”. Romeo considers the others question he knew he should take it seriously but instead he takes another approach. “I’ll probably need some fries with hot sauce on the way but before that a make out session with my husband would be good” he can’t help but smile at the younger man.
Smiling back at Romeo, Atticus was so happy to see him after their time apart. He hated the distance and never liked when they separated but now he definitely would not be leaving his side, nor their child’s . He knew there was a lot of uncertainty right now till they got answers from the doctors but they would soon find out everything they wanted to know and maybe that scared Atticus more than anything. The fear of losing something that he may want before he even got the chance of having it.”I know I just worry about all of the stress on you with everything all at once coming at you and what it may do to you and how you may handle it. I just did not want you to feel like you had no choice in anything.” Looking down he watches the other interlock their fingers and his heart swells at the action, like they were holding there child before it was even born. Atticus takes a deep breathe. “What would you personally prefer I do? You must have something in mind before you offered.” He chuckles not sure if Romeo was joking or being serious which sometimes was hard to tell with him but he decided he would play into the game and moves closer to him on the bed. Leaning his head in, Atticus hovers his lips over the pulse point in Romeo’s neck and whispers against the skin, barely touching it. “Do you know how much I have missed you? How I laid awake at night after our calls missing your voice even after we hung up?” Pressing his lips into the flesh he makes a path along the neck and jawline up to the mouth of the older man. “Do you know how much I loce you and thank god each day for you? I wonder what I have ever done to have been allowed to have you in my life. To be allowed such a handsome, loving, loyal and caring man to love me back” Pressing his lips against Romeo's he does not deepen the kiss, only allowing it to be loving and tender so that if the other wanted more then he could take it on his terms but he had to want it.

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
The Prince can’t help but laugh when Atticus says he will make sure he has some fries brought for him he’s grateful, he knew how Atticus felt about everything. “I’ll try and hold my own nerves but I’m so nervous to know how the baby is doing. I’m worried I did a stupid thing on my birthday”. Romeo gives a small nod of his head, he’s glad Atticus has had all this arranged for him, he knows it will give them both piece of mind of how the baby is doing. He knew they both needed to know. “Thank you, for doing this all for me. For us. I’m so scared. About the baby, about sorting everything out. I don’t know we’re to begin”. He shakes his head, he didn’t want to think about it, he was scared he had somehow hurt their baby, scared he could lose it. He knew they hadn’t planned it, he knew he hadn’t done it on purpose but he still felt guilty. He should have known, he should have figured it out with how his body is reacting and yet he hadn’t. “What if it’s not?. This is something we need to talk about. What do we do?” His eyes flicker to the small bump his fingers brushing against it. “I want our baby so badly”. He gives a small nod as the other talks about the title of Prince or higher. “I don’t mind sharing my crown with you Atticus, it would be entirely your choice. If you wish to be a Prince that’s what you will be crowned. Our child will also be a Prince or Princess. I have already decided to change the laws. No matter the gender of our child. They will be first in line for the throne. I will make it so” he brushes his fingers back and fourth against his stomach. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be so emotional”
Atticus continues to smooth over the swell of Romeo’s stomach as he listens to him talk about his concerns. He did not want to admit he was nervous as well since he had seen how much he had drank that night but neither had known so he did not hold him accountable for anything they found out. “I do not expect you not to be nervous and you can even be nervous and no one suspect anything with you supposedly going with me to have testing done. They will just think you are nervous for me.” Atticus smiles and leans in presses a tender kiss to the other’s lips. “ No reason to thank me. This is just what you do for people you love and I love you so I want to make sure that you and our child are safe and taken care of properly and everything along the way is taken care of as well. Think of it as my husband to be training.” he says with a soft chuckle. All color drain from his face and he sits back and takes a moment to think. He knew it was a possibility he just did not want to think about it. “If the doctor says that it is not then we will do what they say. Then you would not have to rush to come out or to marry. And if you decided you wanted children we could have them when you were ready. “He watches Romeo. “I know and it sounds crazy now but I do as well. As unplanned as it was I want it so much.” When the subject changes he shakes his head, “Romeo, I do not want that. I never got with you for your title or anything else. I do not need anything of the sorts like to share your crown. The only title I am worried about having is husband and father.” The information that his, yes, his child would be a prince or princess but not only that king or queen makes his head spin a bit. How did he get here from being a small boy living in New York to his child becoming royalty? He looks to the clock again. “Do you need to do anything or want anything before we leave? “ He scared to asks but asks anyways. “How long are you staying in for?”

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
“She’s like my second mum” he gives a small laugh, it was true though Emily has been around him since he could remember. Just like his current house keeper who had once been his nanny. His cheeks flush when asked about his cravings it was slightly embarrassing. “Oddly enough McDonald’s french fries with pepper hot sauce, which both things I never really had before”. Romeo’s eyes flicker to the hand against his stomach he reaches down and rests his hand on top of Atticus’s turning his body a inch so he’s angled towards Atticus his knees resting against the younger man’s. “I know. First I want to know baby is healthy. I feel guilty for drinking on my birthday. It keeps playing on my mind.” He reaches his free hand up to rub at his face as his eyes prick with unshed tears. “I just didn’t know and I could have caused harm to our baby” he shakes his head as he glances down at their hands. “We need to discuss if you want a title. And if so what title. I had wondered if maybe you would want my fathers title. Duke of Edinburgh, which would make you a Prince consort. But if you wanted something higher, and you wanted the title king. I could try and make it so”.
Atticus grins at Romeo when he hears his craving, “Well, I will try to make sure that while you are here that you get as much as you want. You know that no one can deny you anything you want let alone me.” Nodding his head he looks to a clock on the wall to see what time it was, they had about two hours till they had to be at the doctors. “We will find out everything soon. My plan is to have Emily come along with us but under the excuse that you are coming along with me to an doctors appointment to have some tests ran. I will play I am nervous which will not be too hard.” he says with a chuckle. “But we will have her stay behind in the waiting room while we have you checked out. The office already knows that this is to be confidential and the office is to be cleared of other patients.” Looking up he sees the unshed tears. “It is ok. I am sure everything is fine or something would have happened by now.” he did not want to say the word in fear that it could still happen. Atticus swallows at the mention of him getting a title, he did not want people thinking that was the only reason he was with Romeo. “So I would get to be a Prince? Maybe then you would start to fawn over me like you do the ones in your books.” he jokes but he knows that it is a serious topic. “I do not need anything higher. I think that title will cause enough stir among people.”

The Prince gives a nod, it had been so long since he had been in the US it was nice to be here. To be back at the place that had started his and Atticus’s relationship he didn’t think they would be here but he’s so glad they are. He walks inside his eyes flickering around seeing everything boxed up felt odd but also exciting all at the same time. To know it was real and soon Atticus would be living with him, would be crowned. They would be a family. “I wouldn’t have thought about that, I’m just glad to be here. To see you again. I missed you so much. I have been so emotional recently and craving certain foods. Emily has noticed but hasn’t said anything and I haven’t either”. He smiles when he feels the others arms around him he closes his eyes and takes a breathe. “I’m fine I promise. I’m so glad to be here. To be back with you I hate when we are parted.” He feels the hand running over his stomach and he can’t help but smile, he moves with Atticus and sits on the bed. “You can touch my stomach if you want too. This is your baby too Atticus” his voice is soft as he reaches out to take the others hand but doesn’t force him to touch his stomach. “Where do we started?. What did you want to talk about first?”
“Of course she would know. She knows you better then most people,” Atticus says about Emily and he meant it. She looked after Romeo when he could not and even if they started out having their differences he looked up to her for what she did for him. “What have you been craving?” he asks with a chuckle and full of curiousness. He wanted to know everything about Romeo’s pregnancy and be part of it, the good and the bad. “I missed you too. I was going insane being here without you.” When Romeo takes his hand he moves it back to his stomach and gently rests it atop it. Part of him wondered when he would really start showing and the other part started worrying if they would have time to do what all they needed to do before then. His attention is drawn back to the older man when he hears his questions. “Well the first thing is have you decided when or how you want to let everyone know about us? The longer it is the harder it will be to convince people that this baby was conceiver during a marriage.” His thumb strokes a lazy pattern against the other man’s stomach.

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
Romeo feels the others hands against his hips and then against his stomach he doesn’t move or say anything, he knew the action was so small that nobody would notice. Though he figured Atticus was eager to feel their unborn child. His eyebrows knit together when the younger man mentions separate rooms. But he doesn’t say anything, was this his fathers request?. The Prince gives a nod of his head when the others father leaves, thankful for the privacy he knew himself and Atticus had allot to discuss. “Your room?” He knew Atticus was right about the gardens, he knew the press would be loving this, the new King of England already in for a US visit. As they walk and head up stairs Romeo tilts his head towards Atticus. “Are we not to share a bedroom?. I understand if you or your father doesn’t want that” he pauses putting his hand against his stomach. “We have allot to discuss” he glances down at his swollen belly.
When Romeo answers him Atticus turns towards Emily and nods his head in understanding that he was taking him and he would be safe with him. Leading the way up towards his room he knew that the older man would question him about the rooms. “We are but a room was set up to look like you are staying in it. Just in case any press made it into The White House or anyone who did not know about us came around. It was something my father thought of which was smart. I was too wrapped up in getting you here to think of the smaller details.” Opening the door to his room he leads Romeo inside. It looked more bare now as he had packed most things away in preparation for his move. Closing the door behind them he lets the other man walk further into the room before he walks up behind him and wraps his arms around him, still in awe that he was there. “Do you feel alright? I can tell you have not slept.” he says as he kisses the crook of his neck before he runs a shaky hand over the front of his shirt and down his chest to his stomach. A small smile breaks across his face and he kisses his neck again before he pulls away from Romeo, “Come sit down and we will talk. We have a lot to discuss before your appointment.” he says as he leads the other to sit on his bed.

The princes hands grip at the others jacket pulling him closer, holding Atticus tightly against his body. He breathes in deeply breathing in that scent, that cedar scent how good he smelt. He nuzzles his nose into Atticus’s neck as he couldn’t get enough of the scent, his eyes closing over, till he remembers Atticus’s father is there. Causing him to pull back slightly his cheeks flushing a deep crimson. “A cup of tea would be great” his hands are still gripping Atticus’s jacket as if he somehow might disappear. “I’m ok, I don’t need to rest if you had plans I can come along too. But we do need to talk”. He presses his lips back against Atticus before stepping back and straightening up again. “Is there somewhere we can talk privately?” His voice slightly low before he gives Atticus’s dad a smile. “It’s a pleasure to see you again Mr. Thornton”
Feeling Romeo nuzzle into him makes Atticus smile at the action. It was just so like him and it made him so happy to know that he was here and safe. When the other man pulls back he sees the blush on his cheeks and knows that he must have realized the others around him but he did not still have it in him to care. He listens to everything Romeo has to say before he speaks, “We can go to my room or the room we have set up for you. Both are private and secure. I would say we would go for a walk in the gardens but you see that is not possible with the press swarming around. I will have tea sent to where ever you want to go.” He presses his own lips back against Romeo’s with a hum as his hands move from behind the other man’s back to his hips so he can without notice rub his thumb against his swollen stomach before he pulls back. Doing the same he clears his throat and looks to his father who is trying to act like he had not seen a thing that had been exchanged between the two of them. His father offers Romeo a smile, “Let’s be honest, your majesty, we both know you did not come here to see me or anything diplomatic. Enjoy your stay and if you need anything do not hesitate to let my staff know.” With that he gives Romeo another once over again before leaving. Atticus was not sure what to make of his father but he had no time to focus on it. “Where to then?”

The flight was an easy one. Romeo hadn’t told anyone but Atticus about the pregnancy and yet he got the feeling Emily had somehow figured it out. She hadn’t said as much but she was keeping a closer eye on him, he thought it was after he was crowned but she had gotten even more protective when his stomach become slightly bloated. Romeo knew it was easier to see with the shirts and his slenderish figure but there wasn’t anything he could do. Now sat in the back of a car he fiddles with his jacket, smoothing it down, he was nervous, nervous about seeing Atticus since their conversation and what he will make of his slightly swelling stomach already. Nervous if Atticus’s father will notice. Nervous about both their reactions to him being king. Nervous about knowing the baby was well. He hadn’t slept well and so had applied a small amount of make up under his eyes and around his face to make himself appear well rested. He knew only Atticus and Emily could see right though it but it didn’t matter. Once the car stops Romeo waits for the door to open, stepping out he already sees and hears the cameras of the press and so he flashes his best smile as he heads towards Atticus and his father, he watches both men bow calling him your majesty. He gives them both a small and shakes both their hands allowing them press to get some pictures, once they get a few snaps, they head inside. As soon as the doors close Romeo can’t help himself completely forgetting Atticus’s father is right there, he moves towards Atticus wrapping his arms around the young man’s neck, his swollen belly presses against the other as he seeks out Atticus’s lips. “I missed you” his voice faint “I missed you so much” his hands gripping the others suit. “I love you”
When Atticus watches the door open and Romeo climbs out and he holds his breath. It is not till his father pulls at his sleeve that he bows his head like he does and addresses Romeo properly, thankful that the press was more focused on the king’s arrival and not him. It all felt too formal but he knew it was for the camera’s but it did not stop him from hating it any less. As the other man got closer to him he could see the makeup and knew he must have not slept much either and he wondered how bad he must look to him as well. The momentary shaking of their hands is barely enough for him and soon they part as he moves past to his father who happily greets him as well. Finally they move along out of the sight of the press and into the building and he runs a hand through his hair. He is taken by surprise when Romeo wraps his arms around him but smiles at him, not caring that his father was feet away. He pulls the older man near him and he is surprised when he feels the swollenness against him. The kiss was well needed and not rushed, it was welcoming and comforting.“ I missed you too, babe. Do you want anything or would you rather go and rest and talk? “ Leaning in for another kiss he grins against the other man’s lips, “I love you too.”

@aprincestale
Feeling the fingers in his hair makes him lean into the touch ,he had missed him even though they had talked and texted and emailed. “Is it bad that I wanted you that badly? Have you seen yourself in that uniform? My god you are so fucking sexy.” The lips against his own leaves him trembling and when he feels the brief kiss it leaves him wanting more. When Romeo moves away from him he sees he looks just as he had when they had when they walked into the room. His uniform back in perfect placement above his perfectly muscular body. Damned perfect Prince Charming he chuckles to himself. Watching the other man remove the whip and open the door he nods and follows him outside of the room and out into the hallway. As they walk and the older man talks he look to him and his met with his chocolate brown hues, his face pales when he asks if he wants to meet his mother. What if his mother did not like him? What if his mother thought he was too young like Romeo kept thinking when he first talked to him that night in the kitchen? The way he talked about his mother thought she seemed like a lovely woman. It takes him a moment but he finally does speak, “Yes, I want to meet her. I know how much she means to you. I will not lie and say I am not nervous. I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
Adjusting his tie for what felt like the millionth time that day he looks in the mirror and Atticus sees the dark circles under his eyes. He had not been sleeping and what had made it worse was he was not able to go to Romeo so he had asked if he could come see him since it had been awhile since he had been to the states. During his time awake he had found a list of doctors that the other could see and told him about them so he could make a choice once they had narrowed it down. He hears the door to his room open and in walks his father. He had still not told him anything and would not till after the appointment. He offers him a smile, “You ready to go meet the king.” he says with a crooked smile. Rolling his eyes Atticus looks in the mirror and wished Romeo was there to cover up his eyes. “Oh yeah the joys of.....oh fuck.” he stops himself when he remembers that Romeo had been hastily coronated already. This twists something in his stomach with worry about how would this change things with them that he just could not shut up. “Yes, I am ready.” Following his father from his room and down the hall they head for the back entrance of the White House to where they will greet Romeo. God, how he had missed him but he knew he would have to possibly hold himself back now because of his new title, Watching he sees the vehicle pull up and he holds his breath as he waits for the people inside to come out. He starts to even worry about how well Romeo did on the trip and if the baby did well which he knew was crazy since the pregnancy was so early.

omeo instantly feels guilty for what he says about Atticus’s father biting down on his bottom lip he tilts his head to one side. “I’m sorry, that was wrong of me. I just don’t want to piss your father off with this.” He lets out a small laugh “let everyone know my 18 year old boyfriend got my pregnant. I don’t know who they are going to judge more. Me or you. But we can tell your father first if you like?. First I want to know baby is healthy”. Romeo’s hands move against the hoodie balling it up at the neck so he can take in a deep breath of Atticus’s scent, he smelt so good, or at least the hoodie did, even if the scent was fading now. “You smell so good” his voice almost a whisper his eyes closed. “I miss you so much. I wish you were here” he blinks open, his eyes wet with unshed tears. “I know, I just feel if I say it enough I can convince myself everything will be ok. When I know it won’t, I pine for you when your not here Atticus”. He smiles a touch his brown hues taking in Atticus “I’m sorry things turned out this way. I never expected to become king, or pregnant. I didn’t….I wanted to plan with you and now I feel I have unintentionally backed you into a corner. I don’t want you to feel you have to marry me or have to have this baby. It’s your choice too Atticus”
Atticus quickly shakes his head, he needed to get Romeo to stop worrying so much and leave all of that up to him. “He is not going to be pissed at you. He will see me as the sexual deviant who lied about using protection. So all of his anger will be on me, not you. You will be the delicate pregnant flower in his eyes.” He is glad when he hears the other man laugh even if it is just for a second. “Oh I will probably be the one judged more. They may think I have done it on purpose to keep you around. No, I meant who do you want to tell in your family first. Have you told anyone about the engagement or was you able to keep it to yourself? I almost slipped up and told Sophia.” He watches Romeo and something clenches in his heart and twists like a knife. His eyes only move away to look at the clock in the corner of the screen to see he would be leaving in 4 hours and would be there in 7 so he could be with Romeo in less then 12 hours. “I know and I miss you too. Terribly. I do not sleep anymore without you by me. When I do get sleep I wake up every few hours looking for you near me. I will be there I promise in the morning before you wake up if not by the time you have breakfast.” Atticus looks into Romeo’s chocolate hues searching them as he speaks. “ You really think you are forcing me into this? You must be insane. Yes we may not get to plan this part like we wanted but that does not stop us from planning other parts of our futures. I want this. I want to be your husband and I want to be the father of your children. I do not know how I can be anymore clearer about it. If we was not to be married it would happen eventually or to have children. That is unless you did not want children. Then it is you who is being forced into doing something they do not want to do. But I want all of this.”

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
Romeo watches the other packing he hadn’t meant for the other to rush out here. He knew Atticus had things to do, he loved him and of course he wanted the other here but he didn’t want to have to see him go again. “When do you want us to tell people?. Your father is going to be so pissed, he already thinks badly of me” he shakes his head a small touch as he takes in a deep breath. The princes eyebrows knit together “The baby won’t be here for a while as it is. So you could always study there and I come out to see you. I just don’t want you to give up on university because of this”. Romeo falls silent as he tries to keep himself steady and together, he sucks in a deep breathe “it means, that I will be crowned, that it’s a big decision for you, if you still want to be with me then we marry. You can choose a title, king or Prince consort” he pauses giving the other an unsure smile. “The sooner we marry, the sooner we can claim baby was conceived in the early days of our marry. It also means that our baby” he glances down at his stomach his hand gently rubbing “will be king or queen one day”.
Atticus scrunches his nose up at Romeo’s comment of what his father thought of him. A lot had changed since their first meeting. “If you want we could start telling them right after your appointment and we make sure things are going well. Who do you want to tell first? And my father does not think so badly of you as you think. He actually likes that since getting with you I have cut back on the drinking and all of the antics I used to get myself into. He knows that all of that is because of you.” A deep sigh leaves him as he tugs again at his hair, “Romeo we are not getting into this right now but I will not be giving anything up. Maybe put them on hold for a moment but I will not give up anything I want so do not worry but I will tell you now I refuse to be apart from you like this. You yourself know how bad this is and the further along you get you will not be able to travel. You will be limited in a lot of things you will be allowed to do.” Atticus watches Romeo as he speaks and he still cannot believe the things he is hearing. He is waiting for the other to tell him he is pulling a prank on him at any moment. Nodding his head he swallows thickly as he absorbs the information, “Then we need to tell the ones around us soon to get things in motion because you have not yet come out. I guess I will be giving my father two surprises, one being the baby and the second being the engagement. Funny things is I tried to get you to run away to Vegas to marry me awhile ago as a joke but now I am thinking we just maybe should have.” he says playfully but only hald joking.

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
The Prince watches Atticus begin to pull out clothes and start to pack, he had been on edge on how Atticus would take this. He had more to tell him, he wasn’t sure how Atticus would take the next news he had to tell him. “If there is anything I can do to help the paper work?. I want you here with me and the baby too. I know you have allot to sort out. I know this was a surprise but promise me if things aren’t sorted out you will still go to university there and we will figure things out”. He thinks for a moment, “being emotional and some bloating if that counts” he lets out a small laugh. His cheeks flush a crimson when the other point out he used the word us. “It’s just, at first I was scared and wouldn’t want this but I do. I want our baby so much”. Romeo bites down on his bottom lip as he considers what the other is asking about sleeping. “It’s just, I have more news. I’m….” He hesitates “sit down Atticus” he waits for the younger man to do is “I’m going to be king”
Looking into the camera he moves the luggage off the bed and watches Romeo. “They are only giving me issues because I am trying to get it so soon but the paperwprk will go through. When I do not know but it may take some time. My father is working on trying to help get it pushed through faster and once he learns this he will definitely not expect me to be staying here then.” Tugging a hand through his hair he thinks about how he is going to tell his father but for right now he had to get to Romeo and make sure they were ok. He would deal with his father later. “I cannot promise you that Romeo because I know I would not be able to stay away. It is hard enough being away from you the way it is but then to leave you and our child behind would be worse. I will make sure it gets sorted out.” He is glad to hear that the other has not had to many symptoms so far. “And I want this as well. It will all work out for us.” Confusion washes over his face at Romeo’s request but he does what he asks. What else could he have to tell him? His mind races to the worst places imaginable. Was he leaving him? Was he going to tell him the baby was not his? He didnt believe any of that but his anxiety always made his mind think of the darkest things. What he does hear come from Romeo he swears cannot be true. “What does that mean for us?” he asks before even thinking but it was a question that needed to be asked since Romeo was still not out and was now pregnant. Atticus sits in a state of shock at how this could change everything about their lives together even after the news he had just found out about the baby.

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
The Princes brown hues watch the other he knew Atticus was right, Romeo didn’t think they would ever be in a relationship. That it would be just sex and yet here they are dating and now expecting a baby. Romeo begins to fidget with his fingers he didn’t mean to do that, he simply was worried he was somehow holding Atticus back, what with a relationship, marriage and now a baby on the way. “I don’t want you tired or stressed Atticus” his eyes meeting hazel “you have university to think about. That matters too. If the paper work still won’t go through, you promise me you will start university in the US and you will come be with us when you can?”. The Prince looks down at his stomach rubbing gently against the fabric of the hoodie. “Sometimes I do feel sick, it’s not just in the morning, it can be anytime in the day”. The Prince takes in a deep breath as Atticus tries to distract him, “the horses are doing great thank you.” He grins when Atticus asks what he’s reading as he watches him begin to pack, he reaches for the book off his bedside table. “The selection series. It’s so good babe, if I was straight I would date America as well as the Prince” he lets out a small laugh “but tell me about you, what’s going on with you?. How’s everything going?. I’m sorry I added to the stress”.
Atticus listens to Romeo as he pulls clothes and puts them away into the luggage.. His eyes flicker up to meet the other’s and he hears him for the second time say us. Was he already talking about the baby as if they were already there? It makes a small smile come to his face. “Romeo, my life is all stress. I thrive on it and live in it like it is my home. I have adapted to a life of being stressed so you are not making it any worse with this. This is not stress to me. And I am only ever tired when we are apart.” He frowns at the mention of the paperwork not going through. “The paperwork will go through. There is no other option but for it to go through that I will accept. I refuse to allow you and our child to be apart from me. That is just ridiculous.” Shaking his head he goes back to packing as he listens, he did not have long and still a lot to do. “Maybe that will go away the further along you get. Do you have any other symptoms?” His eyes watch Romeo stroke his stomach and he smiles. “Do you realize you already are associating yourself with the baby? You said us. It is cute.” he says with a wide smile. Listening to the Prince talk about the horses and his newest book makes him chuckle. “If you dated both you would be bi, babe, not straight. You have a thing for Princes, don’t you?” he says jokingly. Throwing a charger in his luggage he thinks about his day, “Well, my day was uneventful till now. I spent it counting down the hours till I could call you and the day on the phone arguing with a man on the phone who claimed I did not have proper proof I was a American citizen and had to send multiple copies of my birth certificate and passport to him. And again you are not adding stress to me or anything. You add happiness and everything good to it. So no more worrying.” Closing the luggage. he sits the laptop down near it on the bed as he zips it. “ Do you think you will be able to sleep tonight? You will need the rest.”

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
Romeo reaches up to run his fingers though his hair, he takes in a breath, he still felt scared and u unsure. He felt as if he had somehow robbed Atticus of going to university but he knew that wasn’t true. He could easily manage the baby while the other studied. “I should have told you that I could get pregnant. But I never thought it would happen. Unless we planned it, I didn’t ever think I would accidentally get pregnant”. His eyes flicker down to the hand upon his stomach rubbing softly he listens to Atticus speak as he peeks up again at the camera. “It’s just, your so young. You should be out enjoying yourself. Not having the pressures of becoming a father…..” he pauses as his mind wonders to Atticus’s father. What would he make of this?. What would Bea and Philip?. But they could tell them later. First he needed to seek a doctor. “Do you want me to wait to see a doctor when you get here?. I know you’d busy. So I can see one alone” he pauses his fingers brushing against the fabric of the hoodie. “I promise I won’t make any decisions without you”. His brown hues meet hazel “I miss you. I wish you were here with us” tears begin to fall again as he speaks. “I’m sorry, I just feel so emotional and I don’t know why”.
Atticus’s eyes still remained on Romeo watching him and listening as he spoke. He knew he was upset and questioning things but they could make it work if they both wanted this. He just first had to get the other man to stop putting so much guilt upon himself. “Romeo, it is ok. I know it is not how we planned it but when has anything we wanted went as we planned it? I mean if you even think about it the way we got together was not the way either of us planned it.” he says with a smile trying to lighten the mood a bit and make the other see that he was not upset at all. He shakes his head breaking his eye contact with the camera for the first time in a long while. “You need to stop that. You need to stop always bringing my age into things. I know that is an issue for you a lot but it never is for me when it comes to things. I do not care what you think I am missing because I know I am not missing anything. I am so happy and feel so complete with you and the life I am living. I do not feel like I am missing a thing nor will I ever.” Again he shakes his head, he was not about to let Romeo go to the doctors alone. “I am flying in on a red eye through the night tonight just so I can go to the doctors with you so yes I would like to go with you. And no I will not be busy because you are the only reason I will be flying in for and everything else can be put on hold for now.”. He sees Romeo getting upset again and he frowns his heart breaking wishing he was not thousands of miles away. “I miss you too. I promise I will be there when you wake up in the morning. It is ok I have heard that pregnancy can make people emotional. Something to do with hormones. Are you feeling sick?” He shifts off the bed and picks up his laptop and carries it around as he starts to pack things into his luggage. “You wanna talk about something else to distract you? Like how are the horses or what are you reading?”

I just....I do not know what I will do if she does not like me.” he looks away and down at his feet.
Romeo’s eyes search the others he knew Atticus had ever right to be angry at him, he has been foolish and irresponsible. He should have told him he could carry a child and yet the Prince had kept it to himself. “I’m sorry” he breathes looking down as he knots his fingers together. “Your so young, you shouldn’t have to be dealing with this. I should have been more responsible. I should have been careful. I thought I was”. His eyes meet the others, he wanted the baby but he knew this was also Atticus’s choice too. If he didn’t want to be a father did Romeo have the right to keep the child?. This he was unsure about, this he didn’t know and he found himself suddenly feeling on edge. “I wanted you to know first. This is something between the two of us for now. So we can both work out what we both want. This is your baby as much as it is mine” he studies the other offering Atticus a smile. His eyes meet Atticus’s his hand resting over his stomach as if he was somehow protecting their child. “Do…do you want this baby Atticus?”.
Again Atticus shakes his head as he looks into the camera. He needed to get Romeo to stop feeling bad for the whole situation. “No apologizing remember. You have no reason to be apologizing. What type of man would I be leaving you to deal with this all alone? And we all make mistakes. I am just as much to blame since I could have used protection and did not. You need to stop blaming yourself and feeling guilty.” Atticus studies Romeo and can tell he is thinking about something but he is unsure of what and is worried it may stress him more to bring it up so he says nothing at the moment. His mouth parts open speechless for a moment when Romeo asks him if he wanted the baby. Had what he not been saying not made it all clear? “Romeo, if you are willing to carry the baby then I want it more then anything else. You have known since we got together that I love children. I never thought it was going to be a thing for us because each time it came up we never discussed it very far so I always dropped it thinking it bothered you. I had thought you knew from the things I was saying that you knew I wanted this as long as you were ok with it.” For the first time in a long time he feels uncertain of his words as he speaks to Romeo as if what he is saying may sound foolish or scare the older man off.
