Chapter 2
Ben remembered back to when he had to beg the servants at the castle and his sister, Bree, not to tell his parents about the child and it worked. But with his parents now knowing about Rayner, Ben went to Fairy Godmother to ask about legally adopting him and he didn't have to keep it a secret. On the other hand though, Ben didn't want it to go all around the school that he was taking in Rayner permanently.
"Fairy Godmother, I want to know if I can legally adopt Rayner? I know that I'm only 15, almost 16, and I'm going to become king soon, but I've cared for Rayner the past month and I can't let him go now, I told my parents and Bree and the staff already knew, so please say yes, because I want to give that little boy a chance at a good life." Ben pleaded when Fairy Godmother asked what he wanted.
Fairy Godmother laughed. "You really want this, I believe you Ben. I'll draw up the papers and they will be ready at the most, by the end of the week."
"Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if you said no." Ben thanked, shaking Fairy Godmother's hand. Unknown to them, Lonnie and Jane were standing outside the door and heard everything, but by the time Ben opened the door to leave, they were gone.
Later that day Ben met up with his sister. "She said yes." Ben let out. "So, sometime by the end of the week I'll be a father."
"Congratulations, Ben, I'm so proud of you." Bree gave her brother a hug.
"Thanks, that means a lot," Ben said.
Bree could hear the worry in Bens voice. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I mean, it's just that in four months I'm going to be a father and be king." Ben explained. "It's more like I'm a middle aged man instead of a teenager."
"Ben, you'll still be a teenager, and I know that no one would be a better father to Rayner than you." Bree encouraged.
"Thanks again, do you want to officially meet Rayner?" Ben question.
"Sure thing," Bree answered. The twins walked down the hallway together and then was stopped by Lonnie and Jane.
"Hey Ben, Bree. Jane and I were just on our way, but while we're here, can you answer a question for us?" Lonnie asked. Ben nodded. "Who's Rayner?"
Ben and Bree exchanged worried looks. "Did you tell them?" Ben whispered to Bree.
"No. Did you?" Bree inquired.
"Of course I didn't!" Ben replied, still whispering. Ben looked back at Lonnie and Jane, who were awaiting an answer. "Can we talk about this in a different place?"
The next thing the twins knew were that they were in Lonnie's dorm room. "So, who's Rayner?" Lonnie questioned.
"Okay, but you two have to promise not to tell anyone else." Ben started.
"We promise," Lonnie promised. Jane nodded in agreement.
"Then, ah, Rayner is going to be, um, your new prince." Ben told them. Lonnie's and Jane's reactions were those of confusion. "I'm going to be adopting a little baby boy that I had found a month ago." There was a minute of silence, but then Jane spoke up.
"That's wonderful Ben! But why do you want to keep it a secret?" Jane asked.
"Rayner doesn't need that publicity yet. He's not even part of the royal family." Ben answered.
"I want to help!" Lonnie blurted out.
Ben smiled. "Thanks, I probably need all the help I can get."
"I want to help too!" Jane shouted. "I've always loved babies and children, I think it would be lots of fun to help."
"Awesome, do you two want to come with Bree and I to the castle to meet Rayner?" Ben offered.
"Uh, thanks for the offer but I have a sword-play lesson in 20 minutes so, I can't, sorry."
"No problem, Rayner isn't going anywhere." Ben said.
"I can't either, sorry, I have a meeting with Flora, Fauna and Merrywhether." Jane apologized.
"It's okay, don't stress over it." Ben understood.
"Maybe tomorrow?" Lonnie suggested.
"Yeah, sure." Ben said. Lonnie and Jane left and went their separate ways. "Want to have some quality time with your new nephew?"
"Let's go," Bree told her brother. At the castle, Mrs. Potts informed Ben that Rayner was very good all day. And that it was about 15 minutes to his next bottle. Ben and Bree went to Rayner's room. Bree picked Rayner up from his crib and sat in the chair by the wall. "Hi there," she greeted. "I'm going to be your Aunt Bree. We're going to have so much fun together. I'm going to teach you how to really love books and more. I know we're going to become great friends."
Soon the 15 minutes came and Ben stood in front of Bree and Rayner with a bottle. "Do you want to feed him?" Ben asked. Bree nodded as Ben handed over the bottle. Ben had learned over the past month that Rayner was a very good eater and it wasn't long before the bottle was gone. Ben burped Rayner and decided to put him down for a nap. "Buddy, always remember that I love you, got it?" Ben said. A small smile formed on the baby's face, cause in Ben to smile ear to ear. This will be one big adventure, but Ben knew he would do well because he was happy with Rayner and he wouldn't change a thing.
