CHAPTER 4 A NEW PATH

The next day, Prince Henry and Alex arrived at Doctor Zach and Sean's house for a barbecue invitation. The sun was shining brightly, and the smell of grilled food filled the air. They were greeted warmly by their hosts.

Rachel and little Henry were playing together on the floor, their laughter filling the room. Prince Henry watched them with a soft smile. "It's amazing to see them so happy. And it's quite a coincidence that your son shares my name."

"Yes, we thought it was a strong name," Zach said with a chuckle. "And now, seeing them play together, it's like a little piece of history repeating itself."

Alex nodded, feeling a sense of warmth and connection. "It's moments like these that remind us of the beauty of family, no matter how it's formed."

Prince Henry couldn't help but be curious about their unique family story. Prince Henry. "What was it like being the first real man to get pregnant and give birth to twins?"

Sean chuckled, glancing at the photo. "It was quite an experience, to say the least. There were a lot of challenges, but also a lot of joy. I felt a deep connection to them who growing inside me. It was a groundbreaking moment for medical science and for us as a family."

Alex leaned forward, intrigued. "How did you manage everything? It must have been."

"It was," Sean admitted. "But with Zach by my side and the support of our family, we made it through, and now we have these two wonderful kids."

The conversation flowed easily, with stories and laughter shared among them. As the Moonlight streamed through the windows, it was clear that this visit was more than just a meeting of minds it was a celebration of love, resilience, and the bonds that tie us all together.

Prince Henry and Alex exchanged a warm glance, feeling the love and unity that radiated from this family. The barbecue continued with laughter and stories, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

Later that evening, Alex and Prince Henry were getting ready for bed. They stood side by side in the bathroom, brushing their teeth. The soft hum of the electric toothbrushes filled the room as they looked at their reflections in the mirror.

Prince Henry paused, his eyes meeting Alex's in the mirror. "Alex, what if we had kids the way Doctor Zach and Sean did?"

Alex frowned slightly, confused. "You mean... one of us getting pregnant? Like Sean?"

Henry nodded, rinsing his mouth. "Yes. After hearing them talk about Sean experience, I started wondering what it would be like for us. To do it their way."

Alex set his toothbrush down, still looking puzzled. "Are you serious about this?"

Henry turned to face Alex, his expression earnest. "I am. I know it sounds unconventional, but seeing how happy they are, and hearing about the bond Sean felt with the twins... it made me think. What if we could experience that too?"

Alex took a deep breath, trying to wrap his head around the idea. "I still don't quite understand, Henry. It's a huge decision."

Henry embraced Alex, holding him close. "I know it is. But just imagine, Alex. Imagine a little Henry or Alex growing Inside one of us. Our own child, created in a way that connects us even more deeply."

Alex looked into Henry's eyes, feeling the sincerity and hope in his words. He glanced back at the mirror, trying to picture their future. "It would be incredible, Henry. But...."

Henry sighed, nodding. "I know. It's not going to be easy. But We have to try, Alex." Alex not saying anything but he kiss Henry's Forehead.

They finished and getting ready for bed, their minds filled with dreams of the future. As they lay down, they held each other close, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in their journey to start a family.

A couple of days later, Prince Henry and Alex returned to London, their hearts set on discussing their intentions with King James III. The grandeur of Buckingham Palace loomed before them as they prepared for what could be one of the most important conversations of their lives after they married of course.

In the royal study, King James III sat behind his ornate desk, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern as he listened to his grandson and Alex explain their plans.

"Your Majesty, grandpa" Henry began, his voice steady but filled with emotion, "Alex and I have been thinking deeply about starting a family. And We want to explore the possibility of having children with the way Doctor Zach and His Husband Mr. Voight, Sean Voight the American Scientist."

The king raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled. "Who? I'm not familiar with their situation. What exactly do you mean?"

Alex stepped in, his voice calm and explanatory. "Your Majesty, Doctor Zach and Mr. Voight are a couple we know. Mr. Voight was the first man to become pregnant and give birth to twins. It was a groundbreaking medical achievement, and it brought them immense joy."

King James III's eyes widened in surprise. "A man... pregnant? This is indeed unprecedented. And you wish to pursue this path?"

Henry nodded, his gaze unwavering. "Yes, Grandpa, After hearing they experience, we believe it could be a beautiful way to start our family. We understand it's unconventional, but we feel it's right for us. Because make someone doing for is feel not right for me....us"

The king leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled. "This will undoubtedly cause more controversy than your relationship and wedding combined. The public and the media will have a field day with this."

Henry took a deep breath. "We know it won't be easy, But we believe it's worth it. We want to experience the same bond and joy that they have with their children."

The king sighed, clearly torn. "Henry, Alex, you must understand the implications. The scrutiny, the backlash... it will be immense. Are you prepared for that?"

Alex looked at Henry, then back at the king. "We are, Your Majesty. We believe in our love and our ability to face these challenges together. We just need your support."

King James III sighed, rubbing his head. "I understand your perspective, but this is a significant decision. If I were to give my permission, who among you would carry the child?"

Alex's eyes widened in surprise. "we haven't discussed this yet!"

There was a long pause as King James III considered their words. Finally, he spoke, his tone softer. "I see how much this means to you both. While I have my reservations, I also trust your judgment. If this is truly what you want, I will support you. But be prepared for the storm that will follow."

Henry and Alex exchanged a relieved glance, gratitude shining in their eyes. "Thank you, Grandpa," Henry said, his voice filled with emotion. "We won't let you down."

As they left the study, hand in hand, they felt a renewed sense of determination. They knew the road ahead would be challenging, but with the king's support, they were ready to face whatever came their way. Together, they would build the family they dreamed of, no matter the obstacles.

Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz hand in hand outside Doctor Zach's Fertility Clinic in Los Angeles. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the modern building. They exchanged a nervous but excited glance before stepping inside.

The clinic's interior was welcoming, with soft pastel colors and comfortable seating. A receptionist greeted them with a warm smile and directed them to Doctor Zach's office. As they walked down the hallway, Henry squeezed Alex's hand reassuringly.

Doctor Zach, a kind looking man in his early forties, stood up to greet them as they entered his office. "Welcome, Henry, Alex. It's a pleasure to meet you guys again," he said, extending his hand.

"Thank you, Doctor Zach," Henry replied, shaking his hand. "We're really excited to start this journey."

Doctor Zach gestured for them to sit down. "I understand this is a big step for both of you. Let's go over everything so you feel comfortable and informed."

Alex nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "We appreciate that, Doctor. We want to make sure we understand everything."

Doctor Zach smiled and began explaining the process. "The Male Pregnancy program involves several steps. First, we'll conduct a series of tests to ensure both of you are in good health. Then, we'll discuss the options for conception."

Henry listened intently, his hand never leaving Alex's. "And what about the risks?" he asked.

"There are always risks with any medical procedure," Doctor Zach replied honestly. "But we'll do everything we can to minimize them. Our team is highly experienced, and we'll be with you every step of the way."

Alex took a deep breath. "It's a lot to take in, but we're ready. We've wanted this for so long."

Doctor Zach nodded. "I understand. It's natural to feel a mix of emotions. But remember, you're not alone in this. We're here to support you."

Henry smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Doctor Zach. That means a lot to us."

As they left the clinic, Henry and Alex felt a renewed sense of hope and excitement. They knew the journey ahead wouldn't be easy, but they were ready to face it together, with the support of Doctor Zach and his team.

The next day in the evening, Henry and Alex were preparing for the annual Met Gala. The theme for 2031 was "Futuristic Elegance," and they were both excited to showcase their outfits.

As they arrived at the Met Gala, the cameras flashed, capturing their every move. They walked the red carpet, hand in hand, exuding confidence and love. Reporters and fans alike were eager to see them and hear about their latest endeavors.

A Vogue reporter approached them with a microphone. "Prince Henry, Mr. Alex Claremont-Diaz, your story has been incredibly inspiring to so many people. Can you share what's new from The FIRSTPRINCE lives?"

Henry and Alex exchanged a knowing smile. Henry spoke first, "We're just glad to have each other. Whatever comes next, we know we'll face it together."

Alex nodded in agreement. "Exactly. We're excited for the future, and we're grateful for the support we've received. Having each other makes everything possible."

The reporter smiled warmly. "Thank you both. Your love and commitment are truly inspiring. Enjoy your evening"

As they continued down the red carpet, Henry and Alex felt a sense of pride and joy. They knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would always have each other to lean on.
