Serenity was freaking out. What if his moms find out what they did on their trip? Their son is no longer a virgin. Pure. Untouched. She paced as she bit her nails, a habit her dad, Seth, tried so hard to break. She did eventually stop.

Now she was back at.

Someone knocked on her door and she jumped. Her dad, Liam, had opened it. He gave her a look.

"I wasn't biting my nails", she quickly said.

He chuckled.

"Just don't let your dad see your hands", he replied.

She nodded.

"Are you okay?", he asked.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?", she replied.

"Well for one, we can hear the pacing from our room. Two, your jumpy, and three biting your nails again", he said.

She bit her lip.

"Come on kiddo, talk to me. I know I'm not like a woman or anything, but I did grow up with a few.", he added.

She sat beside him on her bed.

"How bad would it be for a future King to no longer be a virgin?", she asked.

Liam raised a brow.

"Did something happen between Rao and Paisley?", he asked, lowering his voice in case Dean was walking around the halls.

Serenity blushed. Then it hit him. He stood.

"Oh, you and…", he stopped.

"See, this is why I can't tell you anything.", she said.

"No, its just…", he stopped when he saw her tears.

He and Seth knew Serenity and Anthony liked each other. They also knew his moms wanted him to marry a future royal and make him a King.

He sat beside his daughter again and wiped her tears.

"Its not fair. I hate this.", she said.

He nodded.

"I know, and I wish there was something I could do, babe, I really do.", he replied.

"They want me to be his guard once I graduate. I can't do it. I can't watch them together every hour of every day. It would be torture.", she added.

He nodded.

"I can barely resist him now, can you imagine when he's married", she continued.

Her dad chuckled.

"Can I ask you something?", he asked.

She nodded.

"What does he want?", he asked.

She sighed.

"Dad…", he stopped her.

"What does he want, Ren?", he asked again.

"Me. He said he would give up all of that for me.", she said.

"Well then see", he said happily.

"Its not that easy dad. He's giving up his royal status. Everything his moms worked so hard for. I can't ask him to do that", she said.

"So you would rather him be unhappy in a marriage? Probably be unfaithful because he's not in love with her?", he asked.

She met her dad's eyes.

"I tried to do that with your dad. Trust me babe, it doesn't work.", he said.

"I'm just scared", she whispered.

"Of what Hun?", he asked.

"What if he realizes I wasn't worth leaving everything behind? That I can't make him happy. I love him daddy.", she said.

He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.


Anthony couldn't stop thinking about the trip. He got to be with the woman of his dreams. He knew she was probably going to go back to pushing him away, and he didn't care.

He would continue to chase after her.

"Welcome home baby", Genesis said as she came around the corner.

He flinched. She didn't care who was watching as she sat on his lap.

"Genesis, I'm not done eating", he said, trying to move her to a chair.

She let him as she clicked away on her phone.

"I am so glad you're back. No more sleeping on the ground. Bathrooms and fully stocked kitchens.", she went on and on.

"I actually like doing all that stuff. It's fun to me", he replied, cutting her off.

She waved her hand and continued on.

"So, our parents were talking and we came up with a wedding after we graduate.", she suddenly said.

He choked on his cereal.

"What? A wedding? Whose?", he asked, while still coughing.

"Our wedding. This way we can take the seats right away. You will be a great King", she said.

"Genesis, I…", she stopped him.

"Sorry baby, I have to run. We can finish this talk later while we plan. Love you", she said, quickly making her way out.

He groaned, losing his appetite. He had to talk to his moms and now. Too bad they were on a trip. He could call them, he stood to do just that, when Serenity walked in.

"Hey babe", he said, going in for a kiss, to which she moved her head.

He pulled back.

"What's wrong? I thought we were past all that?", he asked.

"Is there anything I can get you, your highness?", she asked.

"Ren, you don't…", she cut him off.

"You should go get ready for practice. Training will start soon, your highness", she said, not meeting his eyes.

He sighed and made his way to his room. Serenity and Asuka following behind. Once at his door, he looked at Asuka. She nodded as he grabbed Serenity by the arm and pulled her into his room.

Serenity gasped. She tried to get past him, but he blocked it.

"Don't treat me like that. Like if nothing happened between us.", he said.

She met his eyes.

"Anth…", he cut her off with a kiss.

He pulled away slowly.

"You look absolutely beautiful today. I missed you yesterday. I wanted to text you but I knew you were probably tired from the trip. I know I was, but I also wished we were still there", he said with a smile.

She returned it and nodded.

"Me too", she replied.

He started walking them back towards his bed.

"Anthony, we can't. Your moms could walk in and…", he stopped her with a shake of his head.

"They are out of town on a business trip. No one is walking in on us. You're mine", he replied.

She smiled.

"Can I ask you something?", she asked.

He nodded.

"Anything you want baby", he replied.

"Would you still give up all this for me?", she asked.

He met her eyes and smiled bigger.

"That was always the plan. I told you, whether you wanted me to or not, I was going to do it.", he said.

She smiled.

"Did you change your mind about us?", he asked, excited.

She sat down on his bed and he followed.

"What is it?", he asked, after a few minutes of silence.

"I'm scared", she replied.

"What of? Did someone say something to you? Threaten you?", he asked worried.

She shook her head no.

"Then what, my love?", he asked.

"What if you don't like the life we have? What if you miss all this? I don't want you to regret choosing me", she said.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"I could never do that. I have loved you since the moment we met. I have fought so hard for you to accept me.", he said.

She sighed.

"I wish I could tell you our life is going to be filled with sunshine and rainbows, but its not. We are going to have our ups and downs. Arguments, disagreements, all couples do.", he said.

She nodded.

"But I will never regret any second with you.", he added.

She leaned in and kissed him.

"I love you", she whispered.

He smiled.

"I love you more. Once my moms get home from their trip, I am telling them about us.", he said.

"Okay", she nodded.

"Everything is going to work out. Promise", he said.

"Can we tell Genesis together?", she asked.

He laughed.

"You just want to rub it in her face", he said.

"Duh.", Serenity replied.


A few weeks later, Serenity held that positive pregnancy test in her hand. Would he still want to be with her? Anthony wanted to tell his moms about them right away, but there was never a good time.

Mostly on Serenity's part. She talked him into telling them together. If they were going to insult her, at least they could do it to her face.

Now they were going to really let her have it.

"I'm pregnant", she said out loud.

"Ren", she turned to see Anthony standing at her door.

His face pale as his eyes were staring at the pregnancy test in her hand.
