Hello lovely readers! So this first chapter is on the short side, but I think it's a really good start to what I hope is going to be a funny and cute story. :)

Thank you to all of my readers who have been waiting patiently (some not so patiently lol) for this story. And for anyone who has worried that I will not be writing more for these wonderful characters, have no fear of that, there is still plenty more to come. Sometimes though, real life has to come first and it may take a little while in-between stories, but there will be more. :)

I would like to dedicate this first chapter to IceonFire for inadvertently causing a panic all across twitter when she thought David Lyons shaved his wonderful beard...this is for you :D

Title from the Blake Shelton song of the same name...

Disclaimer: don't own Revolution or any of it's characters, but NBC didn't want them anymore, so I'm going to play with them :)

Charlie walked into the bedroom with her bag. The last bag of her stuff. She was officially moved in. She smiled as she sat the bag down and sat on the edge of the bed, her bed…their bed.

Charlie heard a muffled curse from the closed bathroom door and she frowned as she stood and walked over to the door. "Bass?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a minute." His voice came through the door, and Charlie frowned harder, he sounded funny.

She put her hand on the knob. "Are you ok?" she asked, worried he had gotten sick or something. She turned the knob and was surprised when she felt him push against the door from the other side.

"Just, wait a sec." he said and she heard him sigh. "OK, something happened, and you're not going to like it." He said.

Charlie was starting to get very worried now and she let go of the knob and stepped back so he could open the door. "Sebastian you're starting to freak me out, what's going on?" she asked as the door opened.

"Just remember, it'll grow back." He said as stepped into the bedroom.

Charlie's mouth dropped open in surprise as she lifted her hand to his face. His now smooth, clean shaven face. "What did you do?" she asked. She loved his beard, and it was gone.

"I was going to just trim it up after I showered, but there was a little accident with a puddle and some tripping was involved and there was no saving it." Bass said, regret in his voice.

Charlie chuckled. "It's ok, it'll grow back, soon hopefully." She said and he laughed. "But until then, Miles and my mom will be here in a little while, so I need to shower now." She said and he nodded and moved out of the bathroom doorway.

…..

A little while later, Charlie was drying her hair when Miles and Rachel showed up for dinner. Rachel's eyes widened when Bass opened the front door and Miles raised his brows, both knowing how much Charlie liked his beard.

"It'll grow back, don't even ask, and yes Charlie knows about it." Bass said as he stepped aside and let them in.

"Charlie knows about what?" She asked walking down the hallway to join them.

Bass pointed to his face and she nodded. "Oh yes, Charlie knows and it'll grow back, no worries." She said smiling at her mother and uncle.

…..

They all sat around the table and Miles glanced at the food before turning to Bass and Charlie. "I just have one question before we get started here." He said and they both raised their brows. "Who made this?" he asked, motion to the food on the table.

Charlie laughed and rolled her eyes while Bass raised a hand. "I did, she made cereal yesterday and I think she might have burned it." He said with a smirk at Charlie. "What was it, fruit loops?"

Charlie smacked his arm and stuck her tongue out at him. "Haha, very funny, I can't cook, that just means you'll have to do all the cooking…forever." She said. It was her turn to smirk when he frowned slightly. "Hadn't thought that one through had you?" she asked with a chuckle.

…

Bass walked into the bedroom later that night after Miles and Rachel had left, to find Charlie unpacking her bag. She was putting more clothes into the draws he had given her before and he leaned against the doorframe and watched her for a moment.

She had more to unpack, a few boxes of odds and ends and a lot of books, but having never lived on her own really, she didn't have much more than a bedrooms worth of things and her furniture had stayed behind.

"You know you can change anything you want to change right? This is your house now too." He said as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her back against him.

Charlie smiled over her shoulder at him. "You might regret that offer." She said and he raised a brow.

"Just remember, it's my house too, so at least try to keep some of my things please." He said and Charlie laughed.

"We'll see." She said with a smirk.

She turned in his arms and kissed him before pulling away and chuckling. "Look at you and your baby face." She said as she placed a hand on his face, running her thumb over the hairless skin she found there.

Bass chuckled. "Baby am I?" he asked and she shrugged. "I'll show you just how much of a man I can really be." He said and Charlie laughed.

Her laughter turned to a quiet squeal as he picked her up and carried her to the bed before tossing her down.

In all seriousness, he climbed into the bed with her and placed a hand on the mattress on either side of her head, and leaned down and softly kissed her. "Welcome home." Bass said and Charlie smiled.

She liked the sound of that.

This story isn't going to be like my usual, where they normally cover a few days, this is going to be more like a series of one shots over the course of the few months between Charlie moving in and their wedding.

I hope you liked the first chapter, I'm going to start working on the next one later today(Saturday) and hope to have something for you tomorrow or Monday.

Remember, reviews make you AWESOME!
