It felt weird to admit it. Announce that he's the father. Saying it out loud made it more real. He's a father.

Holy shit! He's a father.

And he doesn't even know what that means. What's he supposed to do now? What should he do? Does Prom want him to do anything? For almost a whole week he's seen Astrum, weather he's being carried by Ignis or Gladio, he had no idea what to think about him so he didn't but now, he wants them all to be a family but still has no clue what that entails.

He doesn't get his existential crises as Iris turns Astrum around, lifting him up to see him face to face. "Wow, I'm holding the future king's son." she smiles. Like everyone else she was surprised by the truth but for a second. She didn't know this could happen to royalty too. But it's cool, she knows they like each other. She should have seen this coming.

"You got over that quick." Gladio points out. Iris shrugs her shoulders and carries Astrum close.

"It's not really that shocking, like you and Ignis being together."

"You both are together?" Noctis looks at both of them. Ignis has a slight blush while Gladio rub his neck shyly as he look away.

"You didn't know?" Prompto talks in, standing next to Iris as she look at Noct. "Also the food's ready." she adds.

"No. I just thought them being secretive was them helping you."

"Now. But Gladio and I have been together for a long while now." Ignis tells the prince who look like his mind exploded.

"It's been a couple years now, you didn't notice?" Iris ask.

"It was very obvious." Prompto nods looking at Iris who look back nodding. "Well how many fajitas do you all want?" Prompto asks the table as Noct slowly comes to terms with the fast that he was right but wrong at the same time.

"Two." they all (Gladio, Ignis and Iris) say. The only blonde in the apartment nods. They watch as she turns to the kitchen, she grabs the bag of tortillas and brings them to the microwave. She warms them up in the microwave, then separates two for each person. She then puts the chicken and veggie mix onto the warm tortillas, adding a sprinkle of cheese, the guacamole and sour cream on top. On the side of each plate she set a lime wedge so they can squirt in on themselves.

"Here you go enjoy." She says setting one plate of two fajitas in front of each person. When she gets in front of Noct she warns him, "you better eat it all. If you don't Mrs. Cruz will hunt you down and smack you with her sandal." Prom grabs Astrum so Iris can eat then leaves the table dumbfounded. They spare a glance at Noct who stare at his plate. Prom moved around the kitchen making her own fajitas with Astrum on her hip.

"Looks like you're going to have to eat it unless you want to hurt sunshine's feelings." Gladio teases the prince with a grin. Noct looks at him with a frown.

"You don't want to see Prompto cry?" Ignis joins in, he's not giving up this chance, he's got to see if Noct will eat the vegetables. He knows it's cruel on his part but he's desperate. He doesn't know how Noct has been as healthy as he has been without eating vegetables. It's a mystery he will never figure out for sure. Noct looks at his plate then at Prom who smile as she wait for her own two tortillas to heat up.

"Oh, this is good." Iris says smiling at them. Curious Ignis and Gladio dig in, eyes light up.

"Wow!" Gladio says.

"Mrs. Cruz taught you how to cook this?" Ignis wondered.

"Yup," Prom answers sitting at the table. They watch as she squirts the lime on both of them. "I ate this almost every week when I was pregnant." she smiles at them.

As she watch her dearest friends talk and eat at the table, she felt a little emotional. It feels really nice to not to eat a meal in silence and alone. Astrum still to young to count as not being alone. Watching them all talk to each other, including her in conversations, fills the small hole in her heart. She felt this, always alone, before she got pregnant and it use to never bother her, but when she lived with Mrs. Cruz for those months she forgot what coming to an empty house felt like. She felt like she found home but she wasn't. They were just helping her. Helped her finish school. Find a job, an apartment. Enroll her into online community college classes. Gave her the furniture in her apartment. The computer and camera was given to her by them. She will always be thankful to them. She was reminded of her loneliness when she started living alone again. Things changed but others stay the same. She enjoys being with those she cares for. Even if Noct is just staring at his plate.

With every one done with their meal and no leftovers they all sat in the living room. Noct taking up the couch, laying face first in the cushions. Half way dead from eating those vegetables. Gladio sat on the side arm chair while Iris sat down opposite her brother. Both full and satisfied. Ignis smiling devilishly as he stare down at the prince. Not fully able to believe that he ate everything on his plate but the proof is there. Now he just has to think of a way to get him to eat the greens the next day and the next. Maybe get Prompto to help. Or he could use Prompto in name only. He'll have to see and he'll have to take it slowly. He goes to Prompto who stood in front of the sink with Astrum on her hip.

"I can do the dishes, you did cook for us." Ignis tells her.

"It's fine, count this as my thanks for taking care of me and Astrum. You've done so much for me already."

"And I will keep doing so, but I'm doing it because I care not so you can repay me. Don't you have to feed Astrum too?" he asks. Prompto nods. She does have to feed him.

"But-"

"Prompto." He says sternly, giving her a look that says to just take it. "You should just accept help, and when someone wants to do something nice for you." he adds. She sighs in defeat. Half because he's right and half because she wants to sit and relax after being on her feet all day.

"Okay." she answers, she grabs a cold water bottle and goes into the living room. She pushes Nocts feet so she can sit. She sets the water bottle on the table on a coaster knowing Ignis will have a fit. She sits down getting comfortable, grabbing a throw pillow to rest on her lap. Noctis sits up remembering Luna. What he was not expecting is to turn and see her lifting her shirt, showing off her bra then pulling one down exposing her breast, then she moves Astrums head toward her breast. She watches him for a while before relaxing. The baby happily sucking on her nipple.

"You're feeding him." Iris says amazed by what she's doing. Prom smiles at her. "Does it feel wired?" she asks curious.

"It does at first, and the first couple times but you get use to it." the blonde answers.

"How long do you have to breastfeed him?" Iris asks.

"Not long, can you hand me my water?" she asks the young woman. "He's almost around that age to be growing his teeth and eating baby food." Prom answers. She takes the water bottle from Iris with a smile.

"When does he get to walk?"

"When he's around one." Gladio answers, taking a look away from his book.

"Hey, Prom, Luna is here and would love to thank you and talk to you." Noct tells her. He sees the way her body froze.

"She's here?" She asks, kind of scared, her face pale when Noct nods. "I would like to but I have to work, my interview is tomorrow. I also have classes. And taking care of Astrum." she gives Noct a strain smile.

"It's alright I'm sure she will understand." Noct tells her, not wanting to worry her.
