Dead ladies can’t have babies

By the time they arrived in front of Lexi's room , Jackson was confident in his theory. He knew Alex was smart .he could also understand why Alex and Lexi would hide their relationship.

With two high profile people like those two ,they would never be able to just go out in public with out cameras flashing in their face.

Jackson turned his attention back to Lexi , "Princess Alexis it won't take me long to change. After I change I will come back to escort you to the tennis court ."

"Prince Jackson please call me Lexi that's what all my friends and family call me. And you're going to be my family now ."Lexi replied, finding it strange to be addressed as Princess by someone kin to Alex.

"Yes ,I think we should get used to calling each other by our names. And you Lexi ,may Call me Jackson."giving her a friendly smile he excused himself and left.

Lexi walked into her bedroom instantly going to the closet and taking out her tennis dress and a pair of tennis shoes. She quickly stepped into the bathroom and pulled her hair into a ponytail .

She needed to text Alex, so that she could tell him what she had said to Jackson .She wanted Alex to know before anyone could ask questions about their relationship. Grabbing her phone she sent the text.

[ my sweet Pet] Jackson ask me how long I have known you. I told him 2 years.

[ Alex] That sounds about right, I think it's been about that long ,from the first time I heard your sweet voice.

[ my sweet Pet] ok ,I just wanted you to know. I'm going to play tennis with Jackson.

[ Alex] Have fun sweetheart.

Before she could change Jackson was already back. She opened the door and waved him inside "come on in and have a seat, it will only take me a few minutes." She said,Hurrying into the bathroom to change her clothes.

"Ok, no rush." He shouted back, taking a seat on the bed, he leaned back against the head board, resting one leg on the floor and folding the other underneath him.

His eyes wonder around the newly decorated bedroom, admiring how nice Alex had made it look for Lexi.

On the night stand he noticed Alex's watch. He picked up the vintage gold Rolex in hand twirling around his fingers his lips curled up into a mischievous grin. Thinking to himself, that Alex was sure working hard for a heir. First he was caught coming out of the hotel room with the princess and now his watch is on her night stand. He mumbled to himself, "damm Alex don't wear it out."

Little did Jackson know ,Alex had pulled his watch off last night after Lexi had her nightmare .She fell asleep on his arm ,and it was getting tangled in her long hair.

As Jackson was caught up in the thought of becoming an Uncle, as fun as that would be. He realized why Alex was so protective of the princess . It's not Alex and the Princess who hold all the power it's their hair.

The crown prince or princess the little half blood will rule the whole country one day. Over all the vampires and the humans. Hopefully Alex can protect the Princess.

As Lexi walked back into the bedroom , Jackson was dazed looking off into space . He mumbled under his breath .

"Because....Dead ladies can't have babies "

She saw Jackson looking kinda spaced out and he was mumbling something she couldn't quite understand . She called to him ."Jackson are you ok?

Jackson snapped into the direction of her voice , gathering his composure,he murmured "Yeah yeh! Are you ready? "

Lexi nodded, as they walked down the long hallway she turned her head up slightly so that she could see his face, she ask " why did Alex say prepare to meet your mother.

Is your mother mean or something?"

"No, she won't do anything to you or physically harm you, she's just a little dramatic sometimes." He grinned

"What do you mean by dramatic?" She ask, wondering if his mother is going to throw herself in the floor kicking and screaming or perhaps cry and plead dramatically.

"Well, I really can't explain it. Did you take all those etiquette classes when you were a kid? "He ask, glancing over to gauge her expression.

She looked up at Jackson a bit confused at what he was talking about,"You know I'm the Crown Princess of Markham , so you know I had to take all those classes. Alex had to ask me to stop calling him Your Majesty." She replied

"Yes, so I know you have been well trained for the future roll as the Queen of Markham. Let's just say when you meet my mother don't forget all those rules . She's really old and old fashioned." His explanation made her relax slightly now she was more at ease about meeting his mother. If proper etiquette is what the Queen Mother expects that's what she will get. The training Lexi received as a child was to prepare her for the role as a Queen and a future World Leader.

They arrived at the tennis court, now that Jackson is aware of the extreme danger that she could possibly be in. He quickly survived the area,assuring himself that the area was safe and nobody was lurking around in the surroundings.

Lexi is a great tennis player and Jackson didn't use any of his vampire strength .

She got a great work out and he had a wonderful time.

It was getting close to lunch time and instead of staring another match they walked back to the castle to meet Alex for lunch. Lexi took the opportunity to get better acquainted with her future brother-in-law asking him some questions about him and his mother.

"Jackson why do you not live here in the castle?" She ask, she found it strange for Alex to live in this huge castle all by himself.

"I still have a room here at the Castle and I do stay here with Alex occasionally. Mostly

because I have Royal duties here as an advisor to Alex. But sometimes I'll stay here to just to hangout with Alex for a couple of days. But I live in the city to be closer to work ,I'm a real estate developer and I also have a investment firm in the city. It's just more convenient for me to live there."

"Why does your mom live in the city?"

Jackson chuckled ," Because mother is a gossip old hen who likes hanging out with her socialite friends and going shopping."

She giggled ,the smile suddenly fell from her face, fretting she stammered slightly. "J..Jackson since you said your mom is gossipy, do you think she has seen that awful photo of me and Alex.?"
