'That was such a weird dream.'

That was the first thing that came to mind when Victoria came to. Her brown eyes were greeted by a cream white ceiling. She was currently lying down. Xavier's worried face came into view.

"Mom? Mom! Oh! Thank God! How are you feeling? Hold on, let me get the doctor!" He quickly left her side and Victoria was left alone again.

There was an IV hooked to her wrist. The room was spacious, housing the bed she was on, a nice lounge, TV, a minifridge, bathroom and closet. There was a humidifier placed on her nightstand. She figured that she must be in one of the VIP rooms of a hospital but why? Why was she here?

The door swung open. Following Xavier were a doctor and her team. "Good evening Mrs. Frost, I'm Dr. Alexis Bow. Help her sit up", she gestured at two nurses. "How are you feeling Mrs. Frost?"

"Um, dizzy but besides that, I guess I'm okay."

"We run a few tests and you're in the clear but I still need to check a few things", she said as she approached her. A nurse followed with a chart in hand as Dr. Bow started inspecting Victoria's eyes with a slit-lamp before recording down her results on the chart. "Take deep breaths", she instructed as she now used her stethoscope to examine parts of her torso before having one of the nurses take her blood pressure.

"Everything looks good. You can go home once you finish your treatment", she spoke as she looked at the chart before tapping on the IV bag.

"What happened to me?"

"You collapsed. You must have received a great shock", Dr. Bow answered. Victoria looked to her son who nodded in agreement.

"Edmund called to tell me you had been hospitalized but he didn't, no, he refuses to tell me what happened and Zach said to ask you. What happened mom?"

Victoria's jaw fell from shock. "That wasn't a dream", she whispered before cupping her mouth.

"What happened?" Xavier repeated with a bit more worry. Seeing her hesitation, Dr. Bow left with her team and let them have their privacy. Xavier moved to sit by the edge of the bed before Victoria recounted the day's happenings leaving Xavier's jaw dropped.

"That doesn't sound right", he shook his head in disbelief.

"Right? I wouldn't believe it if someone told me but I witnessed it with my own eyes." Victoria held her head feeling too distressed. Never in a million years would she have ever imagined this to happen.

"That doesn't sound right", Xavier muttered. It did not make sense. He knows Zach to be someone who always gets what he wants once he sets his mind to it. Xavier was aware of the ongoing search of the mystery woman; that goes to show how much his brother is dedicated. So even if its moving on, he would move on to another woman, not a man! That's too drastic of a change. Gay? His brother? No.

Xavier was so immersed in his thoughts he did not notice the change in Victoria's demeanor. It is when he wanted to question his mother to try to find some loopholes in the story did he catch her staring. Her brown orbs sparkled with fresh tears threatening to fall. Her lips quivered as she reached out to hold his hands in hers.

"Xavie", she gently called out to him. Her tone was like a refreshing breeze on a hot day. But Xavier knew his mother; he knew her all too well. She was up to something especially when she used her nickname for him. He had on a weary look as he stared back.

"Mom?"

"My beautiful, beautiful son. Nine months of carrying you in my stomach and look at how well you've grown", she cupped his cheek while staring at him with an affectionate gaze.

"It was actually 8 months, dad told me."

Victoria suppressed a glare and went on. "Think of how hard it was for me during the time I spent with you in the hospital until we could take you home."

"I was very healthy and you went home with me two days after I was born. Dad told me this too."

Xavier was feeling smug until he felt her iron grip squeezing his one hand she was holding. The pain came and slowly disappeared as she loosened her grip before she gently patted his cheek.

"Xavie, you know I'd never ask you for anything?" She went on with her pitiful act. He was about to refute that claim when he caught her glare which shut him up. "If you do this one thing, I will never ask- no, I would be the happiest mother on earth."

"What do you...", He swallowed a hard lump. He could smell trouble. "What do you want me to do?"

"Xavie, please. Promise you'll agree, for Mommy? It's not easy for me to ask you but I think it's best for everyone if you do this, especially for your brother. It will help him a great deal."

"Mom, out with it. What is it?" His heart was already thudding in anxiousness.

"Please, Xavier..." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was probably having a mental struggle with her request. Xavier was almost sold until he heard her next words the moment she opened her eyes. She made sure to maintain eye contact as she spoke.

"Be gay."
