I frown. Her attitude these last few weeks was unbelievable.
“At least I'm here now” I defend. “What if I didn't realize my mistakes and want to be part of my kid's life? Then?”.
“Then I would be the happiest mother on earth, Noah. I won't lie”.
I chuckle angrily.
“We're having a family dinner, Alexis. That's what we're doing tomorrow night”.
She smiles. Like she knew something I didn't.
“That's not going to be possible because the royal family is throwing my son a birthday party”.
I frown.
“What? Why?”.
“They just admire the fine young man my son is turning out to be as he is being raised by his mother who's also his father”.
I arch a brow.
“All in one?”.
“All he needs” she retorts.
She wasn't going to let this slide.
“Well I don't think so, Alexis. They can't just decide for our son”.
She folds her arms and gives me a look.
“And you didn't decide for him by putting the whole 'the three of us' crap in his head?” she asks.
“He asked for my thoughts and I gave a suggestion”.
“Not your worst but hey, we can't all be winners”.
I chuckle, shake my head and look at her.
“You really hate me, don't you?”.
“For putting me in the situation to watch my son suffer? Yes, Noah. I hate you. And for Malia springing this up on me in front of the entire royal family and causing me to air out our dirty laundry, yes Noah, I despise you”.
I sigh.
“Alexis, I've apologized a thou...”.
She closes her eyes and lifts a hand.
“I need to work, Noah. I want to finish this up and get out of here with my son so please... don't let the door hit you on your way out” she says.
I flex my jaw and nod.
“I'm going to have a talk with King Colton”.

☆ Alexis' POV
“I know what I want to do for my birthday,” Milton says and stops jumping on my bed as I walk out of the bathroom.
“What is it, sweetie?” I ask, checking my teeth in the vanity mirror.
I forgot to floss.
I sigh.
“I want a party,” he says.
“That's already been established, Mill. The royal family is throwing you the best party tomorrow so you've got nothing to worry about. And I can stand the idea of not getting stressed with planning a birthday party just for this year”.
I walk back into the bathroom and Milton follows me.
“Two parties,” he says.
I chuckle between my flossing.
“You're turning seven, sweetie. Not sixty”.
He sighs.
“Mom, it's really important that I have two parties”.
