My baby daddy is the prince

**Chapter four**

"set the dish by the bedside table, Arthur.," Damon instructed. the butler named ' Arthur ' adhered to the instructions with professional ease.

Damon had asked the butler to prepare a light meal for Taylor that he could eat easily without feeling nauseous or losing his appetite. since Taylor was still asleep, Damon decided to catch up on some paper works his father had entrusted to him.

A few minutes later, Taylor woke up after experiencing one of the best sleep in his entire life. his body felt so relaxed and free until he remembered what had occurred earlier. his expression turned gloomy in seconds.

"one minute you are smiling and the next minute, you are sad. pick a struggle.."

Damon teased from across the room. he had been watching him since he woke up, smiling on the bed and his instant mood flip over, probably thinking about his parents.

Taylor's eyes widened in surprise and he looked across the room and saw Damon, sitting like the royal he was, on a cute sofa. had he always been there?

"Damon" he called out, blushing madly. Damon chuckled. he stood up and walked up to the bed his omega occupied and sat down at the edge, facing him.

"How was your sleep?" Damon asked, gently.

Taylor didn't reply and just stared at him, waiting for any sign at all that Damon would explode in anger or Break out of that calm.

why wasn't he asking him about the pregnancy? wasn't he shocked so bad that he fainted?... remembering how his bestie fainted in the throne room made him burst into laughter. if Katie heard that the almighty Damon fainted, she would have a Field day teasing him.

Damon raised an eyebrow and watched the omega in suspicion.

"What is so funny?" he asked, curiously.

"Nothing.. nothing, I swear." Taylor tried to deny, but he had a hard time reigning in his laughter and decided to be honest.

"it's just how you fainted..fainted, you..oh my gosh, it was so funny.." Taylor confessed, laughing.

Damon blushed and then frowned.

"isn't it technically your fault? you announced that you were pregnant so suddenly and in front of all those people, I was shocked."

Damon explained, pouting a bit. Taylor eased up on the laughing and then, stared at Damon seriously.

"so, you aren't mad or anything?" he asked, carefully.

"Truthfully, after we slept together.. the thought of you getting pregnant was my biggest concern. we didn't use any condoms and I knew it might lead to pregnancy and so, I was trying to get my act together and talk to you about this, but you came here and shocked me.."

Damon explained in all seriousness.

"although I kind of expected this, it still comes as a shock, you know?.."

Taylor nodded in understanding. when he felt that he was pregnant, he talked to himself that it was okay but after being diagnosed, he felt like it was all a nightmare.

"I thought that you were getting married and to stop an abomination from happening, I decided to come here and..."

Taylor explained, sheepishly. His face was fully red from blushing so much.

"Am sorry for ruining the alliance ceremony." he finally apologized. Damon chuckled and flicked his forehead.

" ouch!! "

"what have I told you about that head of yours?" Damon asked, like a mother scolding a child.

"not to assume about things and act on it" Taylor recited, sniffing. his eyes were blurred with tears and goddess knows, he was keeping them at bay.

hormones were really at play here.

Damon stared at Taylor and felt bad for flicking his forehead after seeing the tears building in his eyes.

he reached out and wiped the tears that managed to escape those gorgeous violet eyes of his.

"you know.. you are my best friend and you'll be the first person to hear about any news concerning me. not through the media, but from me directly, okay?"

Taylor sniffed and nodded in understanding. next time no matter what he thought, he wouldn't act on it.. he promised himself.

"And besides, you'll be punished before forgiven, okay?"

Taylor's head raised faster than a lightning bolt and he stared widely at Damon.

"punish me?.." he stammered. Damon smirked and nodded, folding his hands under his chest.

"yes, of course. a punishment to earn my forgiveness." Damon pointed out, watching in amusement as different emotions take over Taylor's face.

"But..but I apologized and..."

"you apologized, but I didn't accept." Damon reminded in a Stern tone, making Taylor pout.

who the hell did this crazy Bastard think he was?..of course, he knew. ' Damon Silvester' the kinkiest bastard on the planet and a man able to command the highest authority, with or without his princely title.

"Okay, punish me and torture me, so I can finally earn your forgiveness." Taylor dramatically cried, trying to earn a little bit of pity from his best friend who just watched his antics in amusement.

"oh dear Taylor, no need to fret. you might even enjoy your punishment.."

the sly bastard hinted and that got Taylor's ears perked up and liquid heat filled his tummy.

Enjoy his punishment?.. Taylor wondered what his punishment would be.his mind took him back to the night they shared and his pants tightened. he bit his lips to resist moaning and giving the bastard any ideas.

Damon knew how to work his body and make him ache in the best way possible, he guessed since they were best friends and knew each other in and out... Damon knew how to satisfy his body. stupid logic?..he knew but he was going with that.

"you have to eat now, Taylor. sit properly." Damon commanded, choosing to ignore the lust-filled gaze that Taylor had at the moment.

if he stared a bit longer, control be damned..he would jump Taylor and take him every which way.

Taylor stopped daydreaming and pouted, allowing Damon to baby him as he liked also pestering him about his punishment and what kind was going to be dished to him.

Later in the evening, the king and queen went to visit Taylor and Damon in the Prince's bedroom and the topic of the pregnancy was raised.

"First of all, I would like to say congratulations on your pregnancy." the queen said, smiling genuinely at Taylor.

That instantly set him at ease and he was so glad that they were more accepting than his parents and not judging him.

"congratulations Taylor, a baby is a wonderful blessing from the goddess." the king added, smiling.

"Thank you, Uncle and aunt," Taylor replied and returned their smiles. he glanced at Damon who was staring right back at him and he blushed. he quickly looked away. what the hell was up with him being shy in front of Damon now?

"Secondly, this is very important.."

king Silvester spoke seriously.

"I would like for you and Damon to get married."

Taylor wasn't sure if he had heard the king and opted to ask him to repeat his words, but the next words confirmed what he had heard earlier.

" Damon and you have been best friends from childhood and you have already done the deed and you are currently pregnant it would be wise for the two of you to get married."

king Silvester explained, furthermore.

although Taylor was a bit embarrassed by the king pointing out that he had s*x with his son, he had to clear the air.

"That can't happen, uncle. I and Damon are not in love " he pointed out, emphasizing the word ' love '.

"what's the problem? you kids do what they call dating nowadays and even with people you don't love. okay, let's make a deal. you and Damon will be courting for four months and if you still don't want to get married to him, then so be it and the crimson ceremony will take place. "

Taylor couldn't believe that the king was trying to make a deal with him and the i***t ' Damon ' was quiet and grinning like a fool.

"please Taylor, only for four months.."

The queen pleaded and that weakened his resolve, but he had to put up one final battle.

"Okay then, only if Damon is fine by it.."

and he wished the i***t agreed with him and refused his father's arrangement.

"Am great."

Damon quickly agreed and Taylor gritted his teeth in annoyance. was this the punishment Damon was referring to?

"that's wonderful. four months and if you fall in love with Damon, you get married.."

king Silvester said, optimistic.

"or go our separate ways" Taylor reminded in the same tone the king used.

king Silvester frowned but nodded in understanding and Taylor smirked. four months was a breeze and it would be over before they knew it.

Damon leaned in and whispered in Taylor's ear.

"Welcome to the family, Tay-Tay."

Taylor groaned internally. why does it feel like he walked into a trap? oh, goddess! help him for these four months...
