Jaeyun
I am walking to the throne room as I was told, a little someone is in trouble and Sunghoon wanted me there so even if I am busy preparing the palace for my twin brother's visit, I then left it in the care of the palace staffs.
When I entered the throne room, I saw Sunghoon seated not on his throne but on one of the chairs and beside him is a guilty looking prince with his head down.
"What happened?"
Upon the sound of my voice, both of their heads turn towards me and my son immediately stepping down the chair and ran to me before immediately raising his arms.
"Sungjae, you know your Papa can't carry you now right?"
My son pouted before just hugging my leg.
"Hoon, what happened?"
"Prince Sungjae thought it would be a good idea to scream at the staff for not letting him out of the palace while it is raining"
Oh no . . .
I look down at my son before ruffling his hair.
"Sungjae, what did you do?"
"I wanna play . . ow-side . . the shower . . with papa. . but they say no"
"Why did you scream at them? They are still older than you right? You should not scream at them"
"But I wanna go ow-side!"
I was taken aback when he raised his voice at me. What on earth?
"Sungjae. "
My son's angry eyes immediately turned into a scared one when he heard Sunghoon speak and even I know that the voice I just heard means business.
"Da-daddy?"
He slowly turned to his father and I got nervous on how Sunghoon gazes at him.
"You will not get everything you want Sungjae. . . "
"Why daddy?"
"Because there are things you want that are not good for you. . We know what is good for you so we did not let you have what you want"
He then turned to me.
"Papa? Why daddy mad at me? Am I bad?"
Sunghoon immediately stepped in and carried him in his arms.
"Yes I am also mad that you screamed at your papa."
"Sungjae, listen. We love you so much that is why we do not allow things we know will be bad for you . . . because of what you did, no more desert for you for one week and you will be using your own room tonight"
"Papa no. . . . I don wanna sleep alone . . "
"You need to learn your lesson . . next time don't do it again yes?"
"I promise papa. . please don't leave me alone in my room . . I can have no desert in one month . . ."
I smiled but I also feel guilty for even thinking of punishing him by making him sleep alone in his room.
the thing is, he has his own room and staff for him but for some reason, he wanted Sunghoon and I more so even if we have errands like meetings, he will be there seated on Sunghoon's lap
We don't mind tho as he is not disturbing. But somehow, he has developed a bad habit of screaming when he doesn't get to play. We managed to control it and he listens but well, as kids, they will always have their tantrums.
"Baby, we don't want you to sleep alone in your room but what you did back there was really a bad boy deed. You need to respect others ok? And because you scream at me, your Daddy won't let you get away with this. . do you understand? Don't worry, just one night sweetie"
He gave me a pout knowing that he won't win against me as he clings on Sunghoon burying his face on the side of his neck. Sunghoon then gave me a smile before placing a kiss on my forehead.
"I really wanna play Papa. . . with you, why can't you?"
"Well, because your baby brother or sister is heavy and I can't move like how I used to. . "
He turn from his father's shoulders to face me before his eyes landed on my round belly which is by the way close to giving birth again.
"A baby?"
"Yes . . a baby . . "
"Okay . . . I will behave. . sorry Papa, sorry Daddy . . I want to say sorry to the others too"
Sunghoon is beaming with pride as we walk our son towards the living room where the staffs are gathered, nervous of what would have happened to the prince.
Sunghoon then placed the little prince on the floor as our son slowly walks over to them and lowered his head in a bow.
"I'm sorry . . I was not a good boy. ."
The staff just smiled at him saying he's forgiven with a pat on his head making my son smile widely.
"Daddy! Papa! I say sorry . .now up Daddy!"
Sunghoon, without a word just carried our baby boy before tossing him in the air then catching him making his laughter fill the walls of the living room.
"Aww I love what I am seeing . ."
I then turn towards the door and there they are, my brother, Heeseung and their baby boy who is still asleep in his father's arms.
"Oh . . hello your majesties"
For formality, Sunghoon and I gave them a bow before Sungjae stepped down his father's hold and did the same.
Because of well us talking, the other prince stirred in his sleep and ended up waking.
"Oh. . hello and welcome to Zeviera Prince Ethan . ."
"Hello your majesty . ."
Aww he's still sleepy.
"Ah Heeseung, you can bring your son to your rooms first so he can sleep and for you to rest as well. I know it is a long travel and you must be tired"
Heeseung immediately agreed before following Sunghoon to their rooms as I sat down on the couch as the weight of my belly is pulling me down.
"Papa? Is Ethan alright?. . . he did not notice me"
I let out a small chuckle at how my son sulks over the fact that his cousin didn't acknowledge him a while ago.
"He's alright. Maybe he's just tired from the travel. Don't worry, he will wake up soon"
"Why is this baby sulky?"
I immediately turn to that voice and came face to face with Riki and my son then ran to them squealing in delight when Riki scooped him up into his arms.
This kid really did grew up and I can't help but feel emotional when I look at him and remember how we were before with Heeseung.
"I missed you uncle Riki . . oh? You're not with uncle Sunoo?"
I noticed that too.
Did he come alone?
"Ah, he's outside. We happen to meet Jay and Jungwon when we landed so, they're taking their sweet time coming up. . "
So the thing is, Jake and I's birthday is tomorrow so we planned to celebrate it together as we haven't had the luxury to do it together because of work and then the babies. It is hard to travel. Rulers of three kingdoms are actually in one place and even Jay and Jungwon attended as they both too just finished their degrees in Seoul.
Just then, we heard excited chatters just in time for Heeseung, Jake and Sunghoon to arrive at the scene. And if you think they left Ethan in their room, you're wrong. I think that kid already was awake when they reached the room.
"Uncle Riki!"
Ethan also ran towards Riki who also carried him along with Sungjae as the two kids ended up talking while on Riki's hold.
As the two princes are talking, Jake gave me a hug which I reciprocate.
"I'm so excited for you . . "
"me too. . thank you for agreeing to come here. I also want to go with you and visit mother but . . Sunghoon said to wait till the baby's out so .. "
"Mom knows don't worry . . "
"Jakey hyung!"
We broke our hug when Sunoo entered and sat beside us.
"No plans on greeting your brother I see"
Sunoo laughed at his brother's seemingly sulking voice so he stood up and embraced him.
"I missed you too hyung . . ".
Aww what a lovely reunion.

We're currently watching Ethan and Sungjae play around in the living room as we just finished dinner.
"By the way, I haven't seen Ej and Nicholas. . . "
Heeseung noticed making Sunghoon chuckle.
"Ah those two are on a leave till tomorrow. . ."
"And speaking of leave, Hoon do you think K hyung will come tomorrow?"
We still have contact with them in Hetheria and for the past four years, that kingdom is slowly facing the sun with Jo as the crowned king. Oh, and who would've thought that he will banish his own mother and sister from the palace? Well, they're snakes that's why. K hyung is doing a great job guiding the young king.
"Yes . . he agreed. By the way, Riki? What's the latest in Segovia?"
Sunghoon is still hands on in monitoring Segovia and Hetheria as the two nations are building their lands back. He still is doing a great job for Zeviera so he's great at multitasking.
"Well, we're about to have an heir to the throne"
What an announcement Riki.
Sunghoon and Heeseung were left stunned, literally frozen on their spot while Jake and I just rushed to Sunoo's side congratulating the couple. Jungwon just sat there with a smirk on his face telling me how he knew it already.
"Snap out of it you two, it's bound to happen"
Heeseung and Sunghoon let out a breath before congratulating the upcoming parents. They really had a mini meltdown when it is already expected for them to be pregnant and also have an heir. I'm so happy that it turned out this way. It is just so beautiful.
Heeseung and Sunghoon might still see these two as like babies that's why.
"Oh! Look at the clock, it's already 12! Happy Birthday Love"
Sunghoon placed a kiss on my forehead before everyone began to greet Jake and I a happy birthday.
The two little prince seem to notice it too so they ran to us and mimick the adults and also wished us a happy birthday.
"Happy Birthday Papa! Oh, happy birthday too Your Majesty"
Sungjae and Ethan both said at the same time making us all shocked at how in sync they are. Good thing they don't look alike then, or else we might mistook them as twins.
___
Sunghoon and I head back to our room as it is already late and I am so sleepy. We can continue the celebration tomorrow with everyone in the kingdom.
