Will walked down the hallways of the residential corridor, listening to his music and fully intending on spending the rest of the day hanging out with Ashley and Helen. Things had been awkward after Helen had walked in on him and Ashley last night. Will had never spent a down day with the pair together and he was looking forward to it. He found the girls in the library and smiled when he realized that they were both asleep on the couch in their pajamas, Ashley was using her mother as a pillow and Helen hugging her. He smiled and watched them for a bit before venturing into the room. He was sitting down in the chair across from the couch when Helen cracked an eye open and turned her head to look at him.

"Morning Will." She whispered though she doubted that her talking would wake the girl in her arms. Will nodded, waiting for Helen to fire him for sleeping with her daughter. Helen smiled at his nervousness. "Will, I'm sorry about last night, I was shocked when I saw her with you. I shouldn't be though, it was bound to happen. I just want you to take care of her. If you fail to do so, my manservant will be the least of your worries." Helen fixed him with a pointed look until he nodded that he understood.

"Don't hurt Ashley, or I will suffer the wrath of Magnus, got it." He relaxed when she smiled and nodded in affirmation. "So, are you going to let her sleep all day like that?" He pointed to the form that was currently snoring with her head resting on Helen's chest. Helen looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Only until I have to go to the bathroom or she drools through my bedclothes, we have shared this couch many times like this, ever since she was a baby. If she was confused or upset we would spend the night or the day here, the same happened when I had the same feelings." Helen winced as Ashley shifted and rubbed her face across her chest like an infant waking from a nap. Helen tried to shift but found she was thoroughly pinned by her daughter. Helen looked down at the sleeping form and smiled. "Just like when she was a baby, only now it hurts when she presses her face in." Will nodded and suddenly was trying to picture Ashley as a baby, rubbing the sleep from her eyes against her mother's chest.

"I bet she was a beautiful baby." He prompted. He wanted her to keep talking about her past. He wanted to learn everything about Helen and Ashley he could. Helen smiled and pointed a shelf that had her personal journals and albums on it.

"Grab the first Album on the right, it's the photo album from when I was pregnant with her and when she was a baby, you can skip over the birthing photos, they are the pages outlined in pink, James insisted on documenting the pregnancy and the birth." Helen mused as Will retrieved the album. Helen was quiet as he flipped through them. He smiled at the pictures of Helen when she was showing off her baby bump. He was surprised to see a picture of Helen with a very young child on her hip his little hand resting on her very pregnant belly. Will pointed the picture out to Helen and she smiled.

"That would be Henry about a year after I found him. At that point he called me mum. He was so excited when I went into labor about six hours after that picture was taken. Ironic really, because he had told my belly that morning that it should let the baby out so he could play with it." Helen looked down at Ashley as she rubbed her head into her breasts again. "Ashley, darling if you stay asleep on my chest I'm afraid we might miss the concert, and I really have to use the loo, come on up." The reply to Helen's efforts was a groan and more head pressed into her chest, causing her to wince again. "Ashley, I will dump you on the floor if you don't stop crushing my breasts every time you move, you are not that small anymore. NUBBINS ARE LOOSE!" Helen yelled finally making Ashley jump up. Helen seized the moment and bolted to the bathroom shutting and locking the door, leaving Ashley off balance from being pushed off of her rather comfortable pillow and landing unceremoniously on the floor. The next thing that the two sitting in the room heard was a sigh of relief coming from the bathroom.

"Wow, she really had to go."Ashley said smiling at Will. Will was still staring at the bathroom door when it opened and Helen emerged looking relieved. "Mom, you didn't have to toss me on the floor, I would have moved." The blonde looked at her mother with a pointed look that reminded Will of her mother.

"Ashley, I did warn you after I asked, and then you shifted and pressed hard enough into my chest that I'm sure you left bruises, and by the way, I may be comfortable, but your knee in my bladder is most definitely not, Next time listen to the warning." Helen stated crossing her arms over her chest and wincing slightly. Ashley looked at her mother with an apologetic look. Will suddenly felt like he was intruding on an intimate mommy/ daughter moment when Ashley stood and walked over to her mother and kissed her cheek.

"Objection to being called comfortable noted, sorry about your boobs Mom, but they really are comfortable though." Ashley smiled and Helen rolled her eyes before looking at Will and pointed at Ashley.

"Will, Ashley will repeat herself, she said the same thing the last time she bruised them and before that when she was ten. I swear I should have fed her formula maybe then she wouldn't be so obsessed with my chest." Helen smiled at Wills shocked look. He couldn't believe that she would stand for this kind of discussion, particularly about her chest; William could not deny that he was a guy and had definitely noticed that Helen was well endowed.

"You are letting her talk about your chest in front of me at 8:30 in the morning, and you aren't biting her head off?" Will asked. He looked between mother and daughter and then noticed the look they were sharing. Helen laughed and nodded.

"Will, you are dating my daughter and having sex with her, if you can't handle this bit of the family relationship then you are in for the ride of your life because I will know how to embarrass you with Ashley. I'm usually very private, and I may be 158 but I am far from a prude." Helen bit back a laugh as she watched Will's cheeks redden further. Ashley was now standing behind Helen as both of them doubled over, unable to contain their laughter any more.

'So this is what Mommy/ Daughter time is like…' Will thought as he watched the two women. Helen caught her breath and stood back up. "Well Ashley, we should get dressed if we are going to make it to the Within Temptation concert, I know that Sharon wants to see us before she goes on stage." Helen said, heading out of the door to her rooms.

Okay we all remember that Sanctuary is not mine *pouts in denial* I know this is insane for some, my excuse 103.2 fever…. Should I continue? R&R pls.
