Jim and Phoebe were relaxing in his room enjoying each others company outside their busy schedules due to his majesty insisting they spend time together.

Phoebe was cuddled up to his chest while Jim sat running circles softly on her back making her sigh in content.

Now Jim thought this quiet and peaceful moment would be perfect for him to pop the question to Phoebe.

They've been together for over a year, because she loved him for who he is. Also his granna approved was a bonus.

Jim thought it was time to bring Phoebe to see the woman who raised him and loved him unconditionally.

Holding Phoebe's hand in his, they walked to his granna's house which he brought for several years ago. They walked into the house from the gate and went to the living room where Jim left Phoebe while he went to get his granna out.

The sound of his loud footsteps approaching alerted her to someone entering the room, She smelt his faint cologne sensing who was in the room.
"Granna?" Jim called out to her.

Grandma Alexandria looked up from her book staring directly into his eyes. Her light blue eyes clouded but shining in happiness for him.

The ageing woman spread her chubby arms to her favourite grandson who happily walked into her embrace.

Grandma Alexandria ran her hands through his thick Raven hair noticing it was past his shoulders and she breathed in missing her baby's scent.

"You let your hair grow again hm I have told you to cut it" she scolded him playfully.

Jim scoffed in her embrace and she tugged his hair painfully to which he pathetically wimped.

Pulling out of her embrace Granny Alexandria placed her hands on his face feeling the smooth and cool touch of his jaw.

"You still smell and feel the same why the visit all of a sudden?" She asked him sweetly.

"I have a someone I want you to meet she is my intended but she doesn't know it ..before I propose I want your blessing"
"Of course my sugarplum let us go!" She replied joyful, she prayed for so many years that her stoic and emotionless grandchild would find love.

Pulling her hands away from his face Jim helped her up and they went back to the living talking along the way.

Til they walked back into the room where Phoebe waited. Her head snapped up when she noticed a average height woman bearing similar features to Jim stare into her eyes.

"Um hello ma'am" Phoebe started off nervously.

Grandma slipped her hand out of Jim's and sat next to her from where she presumed her voice was coming from.

"Hello there do not be shy I don't bite" she replied calmly.

Phoebe couldn't look into her glazed eyes but grandma Alexandria wasn't fazed she was used to the reactions normally received.

"I hope my blindness does not affect you young lady..what is your name?" She asked gently to ease her nerves.

Phoebe lifted her eyes to meet hers boldy before answering shyly "my name is Phoebe Martin"

Grandma Alexandria managed to ease her nerves and soon enough the two of rhem were chatting about him and other topics which embarrassed the usually emotionless Jim.

"Sugarplum? Wait till Michael hears about it" Phoebe teased him.

"Don't you dare" he replied glaring seriously but she knew he was joking behind the look.

Grandma Alexandria spoke up asking if she could touch Phoebe's face and she pushed her face forward to meet her hands.

Grandma Alexandria lightly touching Phoebe's face tracing her face and features till she was mapped in her mind.
Removing her calloused hands from Phoebe's face, They talked a little longer with some snacks and a cool drink on the side.

Before they left the lingering words from grandma Alexandria stuck in his mind which made him stick to his decision up till now.

"That girl loves you for who you are don't let a girl like her be pushed away..treasure her more than anything else in this world" (f)
.

.
The slight jab on his nose jolted Jim out of his memory to see the worried expression appear on Phoebe's face.
"Are you alright Jim? You were daydreaming" she asked concerned.

Jim shook his head before answer her calmly "I'm fine I have many things on my mind"

Phoebe ran her hand through his thick tresses of hair enjoying the soft purr of enjoyment from Jim.

"Like what is on your mind..you can tell me" she prompted sweetly knowing He kept his problems to himself but she didn't want him to willow in silence.

"His majesty's baby on the way, you, security and the list goes on" he explained.

"What about me?" She pressed curious.

"Well I..love you Phoebe and you know it's hard for me to express my feelings at times but I'm saying I want you to be mine...for rest of my life" he said to her feeling heartfelt.

Phoebe couldn't believe him at first she had to blink repeatedly to allow the words to sink in. When the words sinked in she was overwhelmed that he would propose! Her dreams finally came true before her eyes.

"Is that a yes...?" When he didn't hear the immediate response.

Phoebe raised her chin and gave her answer to him which lead him to growl against her lips at the deep kiss they shared.

Two hours later ..

The engaged couple left his room to inform their friends about their engagement which shocked Faith and Michael who thought they'd never marry.

His majesty pouted sadly not knowing the news firsthand.

"Why didn't you tell me? Aren't we brothers Jim?" He whined to a unimpressed Jim.

"Because your highness if I know you well enough this engagement would have ended being something extremely overboard" he replied coolly.

Faith laughed at his response and carefully hugged them both.she was truly happy to see her two friends were going to be married after she got over the shock.

"Since you didn't tell me you planned this wedding Jim at least let me help pay for the wedding cost" His majesty suggested to him.

Jim shook his head and declined politely but at least allowed his highness to pay for the wedding cake.

"Oh I almost forget to call my family! They will be so thrilled and scared" Phoebe groaned at the thought of her family.

"What's wrong with your commoner family Phoebe, his majesty asked confused.
"Michael!" Faith scolded.

"What? It's true my queen" his majesty complained.

Ignoring the 'commoner' comment Phoebe explained that she came from a poor family who were weary of the rich and were the type of people to save every dime.

"They will be fine Phoebe don't let it worry you" Jim mentioned kindly.

"Don't worry Phoebe we will make them feel comfortable when they arrive" Faith said in an encouragement as she patted her shoulder.

"Yes we will make them secure and feel safe" his highness mentioned smiling at the chance of meeting more common folk.

Three days later..

Phoebe was escorting her family of three into the palace feeling a mix of emotions concerning the luxury of the palace. Her parents wondering how much it cost to live here while her teenage sister awed at the interior design.

"This place is big enough to fit a whole village and your telling me honey that the royal family and their servants live here alone? Feels like a waste" Patricia mentioned eyeing the palace critically.

"Mum there is enough space for everyone to live here doesn't matter if a village stays here" she replied back to her unimpressed mother.

"Still a waste of space dear" her father added not impressed either.

"This place is so cool sis" Penelope her sister chipped excitedly.

"I'm glad at least someone likes the place" phoebe sighed in response.

"Is that a real lion skin on the floor?! How could they do that to such a majestic animal!"

"Oh my word" phoebe grumbled under her breath declaring to inwardly her parents hopeless.

So leading her small knitted family to one of the many living rooms where they continued to criticize the life style of his highness. At this point Phoebe was about to snap from their infuriating talk.

Before she had the chance their majesties walked into the room. Michael being the first to step in and Faith trailing behind him.

Michael opening his slim arms widely and beaming cheerfully at the aloof parents.
"Welcome to my humble home Martin family I hope you enjoyed the flight coming here" he greeted to them kindly.

"The business class wasn't necessary we could have preferred economy" Her father replied as he pushed his glasses up some more.

His majesty had completely forgotten about their tendencies was taken back by their words.

"Well that's a shame normally other people would enjoy flying in business class" he mentioned now smiling tightly.

"Well we didn't like it but thank you for your concern your highness but are you the one marrying our daughter?" Phoebe's mother mentioned raising one eyebrow.

"Mum! He's already married to Faith! Remember her?" phoebe said to her irritated at her forgetful memory.

"Hello Dear it's lovely to see you again" Patricia greeted Faith kindly.

"Nice to see you as well Mrs Martin" she replied pleasantly holding in her laughter.

Faith couldn't help but continue to snigger quietly to herself watching the whole interaction unfold before her eyes.
Unfortunately his majesty heard her quiet laughter by his side. He turned around to face her, glaring at the smirk on her pretty features.

"You didn't warn me!" He accused.
"Phoebe did remind you a while back so it's your fault forgetting Michael" she smirked at him.

Michael used one large palm to squeeze her cheeks watching them puff out comically but she smacked his hand away.
"When did you become so..blunt" he mumbled to himself.

"I learnt from you who else?" She replied sweetly.

"You guys are so adorable" Penelope squealed.

The king and queen completely forget about their audience as the both of them blushed embarrassed.

"Well his highness definitely isn't the man for you then" Richard mentioned dryly.

"Yes he's right where is the man of the hour?" Patricia asked.

"That will be me" Jim said coolly walking into the room in a causal outfit.
Jim wasn't bothered by the stares from his future in-laws, walked up to where they sat and a small conversation started between them.

Faith's feet were hurting so she went to sit by Jim and listened to the conversation between them.

Michael dragged Phoebe away from them to talk to her privately.

"How long will your family be around?" Michael demanded.

"Calm down your highness they won't be here for longer than a week" she replied rolling her eyes.

"I hope so..if I didn't treasure you like a sister they would have been immediately been shipped back home today" he replied annoyed.

"No worries I'll keep an eye on them your highness" she replied smiling cheekily.
"And how did they give birth to you...? When they are so critical!" He asked her raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know your highness I guess I was lucky" she replied shrugging her shoulders.

Returning back to the group they found out what was the current converation--Jim's Family and history.

"So who are you? I would like to know" Richard said seizing up the passive young man in front of him.

"Jim is my name sir I was raised by my blind grandma from the age of five..my parents left me in her care when they felt I wasn't up to their standard I was given to my granna, by age 11 I was bought to live with his highness does that answer your question?" He replied calmly.

"Yes it does" Patricia replied looking away from his hard gaze.

Michael chose to give his own opinion as well "to add to the conversation I have known Jim for many years what I stand by is he is loyal to the core and he loves unconditionally from his heart in his own way. I believe he will make Phoebe happy as they spend the rest of their lives together"

Jim patted his brother and majesty on the back silently thanking him for his words of comfort, he was too choked up to say anything but his majesty knew how he felt sending a wide grin in return.

"Well we can't stop the union between the two of you so I wish you both the best of wishes together" Patricia said to the couple the corners of her lips pointing upward in a smile.

The conversation continued on a lighter tone, until dinner time when his highness took Penelope on a small tour around the palace showing her around.

Walking into their shared bedroom Michael begun to take off his clothes and complaining how talkative Penelope was which amused Faith nonetheless.

"She's a fan and she clearly showed it when it was just us" he groaned to Faith as he laid down next to her.

Faith only rolled her eyes and replied teasingly "aren't you glad you didn't marry a fangirl"

"I'm ever grateful my Queen you are a breath of fresh air and more to me" he replied sweetly.

Faith scoffed as she replied "bull your only saying that because I ignored your advances"

"But you eventually fell for me" he replied arrogantly.

"More like a trap" she chirped wickedly.
"I'll show you a trap" he growled in response kissing her deeply leading to a night of lovemaking.
