Hey guys, this idea came to me and I couldn't resist. I don't know what has gone into me I was trying to get the number of stories down that I was working on and it was working - until D2. Yes I know this adds a lot of work onto me and I already have a lot to do but I think you will enjoy the stories that are coming your way - including this one. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.


"RRROOOAAAAARRRRR!" I heard from Edward's room which made me smile. This is what had become our routine for the two weeks. Roaring and growling to scare the monsters away; I shook my head after I climbed into bed as I waited for Ben to put Edward to bed. I could kill Chad's little cousin; Edward slept perfectly and soundly until two weeks ago when he told him about the monsters that live under children's beds. So ever since then we would struggle to get Edward to sleep and when we did manage it wouldn't be very long before we were also woken or disrupted by Edward either shouting or climbing into our bed.

"Daddy I don't want you to go" I heard Edward say sadly.

"We are only next door Edward" I heard Ben reply.

"You are a big boy now son, you need to sleep in your own bed" Ben advised.

"What if he comes back?" Edward whimpered.

"Then you roar at him" I heard Ben advise which made me chuckle.

"And if it doesn't work?" Edward asked.

"Then you can come and find me and Mammy" Ben answered.

"Ok" I heard Edward reply.

"What story do you want tonight Eddie?" Ben asked obviously trying to take Edward's mind off his monster problem.

"Erm" Edward said.

"That one" he added.

"Again?" Ben asked incredulously which made me chuckle again. Belle bought Edward a copy of 'Snuggle Puppy' as a stocking filler for the Christmas just gone and ever since then Edward was hooked. It was now at the point that me and Ben didn't have to even look at the pages to know the words. Of course Edward had other story books that he enjoyed; but Snuggle Puppy was his favourite.

"Aha" Edward answered.

"Ok" Ben said.

"Once upon a time-" I heard Ben start as I started to draw a sketch of me, Ben and Edward and I started to get lost into it. In fact I got that lost into it I didn't even realise that Ben had entered the room until he climbed onto our bed.

"I've finally managed to get him to sleep" he said happily as he pulled the covers back and climbed into bed next to me.

"Well I told you the roaring would rile him up" I chuckled as I looked up from my drawing pad and smiled at him.

"Maybe a little" he laughed.

"Maybe a lot" I joked.

"Could you have done any better?" he teased.

"Hmm; I don't know. I might have got him to sleep a little bit quicker" I teased back.

"But it was your turn" I added as I smirked at him as he slid himself closer to me.

"Yes" he agreed.

"Tomorrow it is your turn" he grinned.

"Don't make this a competition Ben; because we both know I will win" I stated.

"No you won't" he dismissed.

"Yes I will Ben" I disagreed as I threw him a look which made him laugh at me.

"Yes we both have our own ways to get him settled-" I started.

"But mine just seems to be more affective" I added smugly.

"True" he agreed.

"Anyway-" Ben started.

"Anyway?" I asked.

"It's now our time" Ben purred as a smile started to spread across his face.

"Yes that is correct" I purred back as I reached over and placed my drawing pad and pencil down on my bedside cabinet.

"What would you like to do?" I asked as I turned and looked at him.

"Erm" he said.

"I don't know" he added.

"Movie?" he suggested.

"We had a movie last night" I reminded him.

"True" he agreed.

"But I like just cuddling into you" he flirted.

"Just cuddling?" I chuckled.

"Well if it leads into anything-" he started mock innocently.

"How can I really be blamed?" he asked rhetorically.

"My wife is a very attractive woman" he flirted as he picked my left hand up and he kissed the back of my hand.

"Hmm" I purred as I started to feel a knot start to build in my stomach.

"Oh you charmer you" I flirted and I reached over and pressed a long and loving kiss against his lips.

"And you my sweetheart-" I started as I pulled away and I started to play with the hair on the back of his head.

"Are a very attractive Beast" I flirted.

"Hmmm" Ben growled and I watched as his eyes darkened.

"How about-" I started.

"I go and pick a movie-" I continued.

"And we watch it, with maybe a little bit of making out and cuddling involved?" I suggested.

"Deal!" Ben exclaimed which made me chuckle. I quickly pressed a brief kiss against his lips before I turned and jumped up from our bed and I made my way over to the large plasma TV fixed onto the wall. I picked any DVD up and placed it into the DVD player and clicked play. As I turned around I noticed that Ben was pulling a funny face at me.

"A chick flick, really?" he asked incredulously as I walked back towards him.

"We are not really watching it" I stated bluntly as I climbed back onto our bed and I lay down next to him.

"Remember?" I teased.

"True" Ben chuckled as we wrapped our arms around each other. We stared happily at each other for a few seconds before our lips captured each other's just as the starting credits started to play.


"Well we both knew that was going to happen didn't we?" Ben laughed after we regulated our breathing after we broke apart after our love making.

"Yes" I breathed.

"We should probably put our clothes back on though" I advised as I looked at Ben. I knew that Edward was probably going to wake up very shortly and if he came looking for me and Ben I didn't want to us to be naked in bed.

"Probably" he agreed.

"I'm expecting him to start shouting anytime now" I advised as I slowly sat up.

"I could kill Chad's cousin!" I snapped.

"I did have a word with Chad dear" Ben reminded me as he also slowly sat up.

"I know" I sighed.

"I just hate the fact that he gets so frightened; I don't want that for him. I want Edward to be a happy little boy with no cares or worries at all" I said sadly.

"I know baby, but everyone has fears; and I know you want to protect him from them. Just like I do; but we can only support him through it. Most things we can help him with like this monster business" Ben said as he wrapped his right arm around my waist.

"But there will be a time when his fears are out of everyone's control" he added as I looked up at him.

"Ben don't" I said as I shook my head. I didn't like the sound of that; I didn't like the sound of Edward growing up. I couldn't believe that he was two already; he seemed to be growing up far too quick for my liking.

"What?" Ben asked.

"I don't want to think about Edward being older; I can't believe he's two already" I advised as I slid my left hand into Ben's left hand.

"Me neither" he agreed.

"Our brave little boy" he said happily. I then started to hear Edward stir in his sleep and I sighed; Ben looked at me and I nodded. We both knew what was coming next; Edward would wake up screaming then coming looking for us. It broke my heart to see him that scared and I wished that I could just make it better for him.

"He's stirring" I advised.

"Ok" he replied as we untangled ourselves from each other; we then started to quickly pull our clothes on and as we were both about to sit back down on our bed fully dressed we both jumped as we heard a loud noise.

"RRROOOAAAAARRRRR!" Edward shouted from next door.

"At least he's tried your idea" I chuckled as I turned to look at Ben.

"Yeah" he said smugly as we both sat down on our bed.

"Look at you" I teased.

"You proud Beast" I laughed.

"Of course" Ben said as he grinned at me.

"RROOOAAAAARRRRR!" Edward roared again.

"If he does it again I'll go in" I advised.

"Ok" Ben replied as he lay down in bed.

"Leave me alone!" I heard Edward beg and I let my head drop down.

"Please!" he pleaded.

"I'm goi-" I started but stopped when I heard Edward jump from his bed; I heard Edward's quick little footsteps run from his room. I stood up when I heard his bedroom door open and I started to walk towards our bedroom door just before me and Ben both heard Edward knock frantically on our bedroom door.

"Come in!" Ben called. We then watched as the door slowly opened and we watched as Edward was now stood on his tip toes so he could open the door.

"Daddy the roaring didn't work" Edward said sadly as he rubbed his eyes and planted his feet firmly on the floor. I watched as his eyes started to water and it started to break my heart.

"Come here Eddie" I said lovingly and Edward ran at me and I quickly scooped him up in my arms. I snuggled into his hair and I carried him back to mine and Ben's bed.

"It's ok" I cooed as I sat down and I slid across so we were next to Ben.

"It's ok Eddie" I said reassuringly as I started to run my fingers through his bright purple locks.

"I'm sowwie!" he cried as he slowly looked up at me before he snuggled back into the crux of my neck. I kissed the top of his head and I snuggled back into his hair; I still couldn't believe how much Edward looks like Ben; the only differences were his striking green eyes, bright purple locks and his double dragon birth mark. I gently rocked my little dragon until he started to stop sobbing against my neck. I hated seeing Ben and Edward cry as it broke my heart and I vowed to myself that I would get rid of this monster business one way or another.

"Don't worry about it" I cooed and we all heard a noise and Edward froze in my arms.

"He's still there!" he exclaimed as he tightened his arms around me.

"He's going to come in here!" he cried.

"Edward calm down" I said as I stroked his back slowly. I looked over to Ben and we both shared a concerned look before an idea came to me.

"Ben" I said.

"Yes?" he asked as he pulled one brow up at me.

"Go and get rid of him" I advised as I nodded to the open door.

"What?" Ben said as he looked confused so I threw him a look before I nodded towards Edward.

"Oh" Ben said slowly as his eyes widened.

"I see" he added as he nodded and he sat up and started to slide off the bed.

"Daddy don't go!" Edward begged as he tried to get away from me to prevent Ben from leaving.

"He'll hurt you!" he cried as I pulled him back to me and I pressed a kiss against the top of his head.

"He won't son" Ben dismissed as he climbed off the bed.

"Believe me" he said and he quickly left the room. I snuggled back into Edward's hair and I rocked him slightly as he snuggled back into me; it went really quiet before we both jumped when we heard Ben start roaring.

"RRRRRROOOOOOAAAARRRRRRR!" Ben roared next door.

"What if Daddy gets hurt?" Edward asked sadly as he looked up at me through tear filled eyes.

"He won't" I promised.

"Daddy is a strong Beast" I said with a smile.

"RRRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!" Ben repeated. I watched as Edward heard another noise and we both looked up to see Ben walking back into the room.

"He's gone" he advised happily as he closed and locked the door behind him.

"Really?" Edward asked incredulously.

"Yes son" Ben advised as he climbed back into bed and climbed back under the covers.

"Thank you Daddy" Edward said happily as he slid off my lap and he quickly crawled over to Ben and hugged him. I couldn't help but smile at my two boys; they were both perfect in every way - even though I knew I was extremely biased.

"You're very welcome" Ben said happily as he snuggled in Edward's hair before he planted a kiss on the top of his head.

"I know you've scared him away-" Edward started nervously as he looked at both me and Ben.

"But can I stay here?" he asked hopefully.

"He might come back" he said sadly as he threw another despairing look and me and Ben.

"Of course" Ben said happily.

"Let's get to bed" I advised and me and Edward climbed into bed. Me and Ben tangled our legs together and we wrapped our arms around each other; so Edward was happily rested in between us. Thankfully Edward slept soundly after this but before I slipped into a peaceful slumber myself I was still determined that me and Ben would find a way to help rid Edward of his monster problem.
