Chapter 4- Birthdays and Bliss

C Pov

The night has been peaceful. No screams cutting through the dead
of night from nightmares now lost. Just was what he wanted for his birthday but he knew Molls would have know of wanted him to have the most amazing day because you don't get a year older everyday.

Charles woke up to an empty bed but he could hear the low muffle of the radio from downstairs. Molly was for once awake before him. He groaned getting out, the alarm red 8:40am. Molly definitely got up early just for today. Then the next few weeks would definitely be him trying to kiss her awake which he was not complaining wandered down the stair careful not to trip over the clothes and heels that lay discarded on the step of the stairs from last night well late night session slightly fueled with a night of alcohol and dinner at the Pump House.

The kitchen was light and airy when Charles had made it very quietly down the stairs. He tip toed slowly over to Molly who had her back to his but apparently not quietly enough because Molly started to turn around just as Charles was planning to put his arms round her.

"Please don't Molls" She nicely obliged but not without a pout forming on her face.

"So how is the birthday boy today" she giggled slightly in his arms.

"Oh the birthday boy is very well today" He turned her around in his arms "But he would be happier if his lady love would come back to bed"

"Well I am sorry to say..." He started round kisses down her neck, his grip tightens on her. She sighed slightly "I do believe you had your lady love up for much of last night"

"Early birthday present " he murmured into her neck. He slips her dressing gown up leaving her in her pyjamas before lifting her up and carrying upstairs and back to bed.

He lay her down on the bed kissing further and further down. She giggles lightly " Just remember we have to pick up Sam from Rebecca by 9:20" She stopped him kissing her.

"I think I can remember that Molls and it's even 9 yet. I think we have some time for my extra birthday present till then" He smirked evilly and she gave in just because of the smirk she told herself.

Once they had finally untangled themselves from each other. They managed to pick up Sam just about on time. Molly made sure that nothing happened en route to make sure they got there on time and luckily the sat nav took them in the right direction.

Once they had picked Sam up with clear instructions to have him back at 6 at the latest because he had school the next day, they were on their way. The fairground had been Molly's idea and neither Sam or Charles disagreed with her as she put in the address in the sat nav although Charles was sure she had planned this in advance much to his delight.

As soon as they arrived at Sunnyville Park, Sam rushed off in the direction of the biggest rollercoaster- Mountaintop apparently all of his friends had been talked all week about it at school. Charles volunteered to go on the ride with Sam. Molly backed out saying she didn't feel too good and might just give the giant probably super sick inducting ride a pass. After the ride Sam immediately wanted another go but Charles diplomatically said that they could go on it a bit later but not soon after lunch, Molly had been right at her impression of the ride- it was very sick inducting!

Next on Sam's tick list was the Spinning teacups, this one Molly did agree to go with Sam. (It was her favourite ride after all) Charles watched from the edge as his fiancée lit up with joy as she held on to Sam in an almost motherly fashion making sure he didn't fall out or hurt himself because if he got even a slight injury Rebecca would be furious. After a while into the ride Molly started to look a bit pale luckily the ride finished quickly. Molly rushed off and towards the toilets after making sure Sam got back safely to his looked puzzled at her sudden exit.

Molly returned only a few minutes later looking less pale than before "Motion sickness" She said when he looked uncertain at her. She signaled that she would elaborate on that excuse later. Soon the morning turned into the afternoon and soon afternoon turned into 5 o'clock and Molly and Charles had to rush back to get Sam on time after his last Mountaintop Ride with Charles. They made it just.

They had the rest of the night to themselves "Molls that was the best birthday so far" He smiled as they entered the apartment. "With you and Sam and today" He kissed the top of her head "But would you like to elaborate on motion sickness from earlier because both you and I know full well know that you my darling Molly do not suffer from motion sickness even if you can't swim"

She sighed heavily leaning against the kitchen work surface " Well how can I say this, it doesn't look like there is alcohol on my cards for about 9 months" She smiled quickly before Charles could register what she meant.

"Your pregnant ?" He looked at her dumbstruck. She nodded her head. He rushed up pulling her in his arms and kissing her senseless. Then he felt happiness.

"Best birthday present yet" He murmured into her neck as she giggled lightly.

AN- There you go they are gonna have a baby see the sneaky fiancee hint in there. Proabably gonna write that drabble in a while. As you can guess this is set in the quite far away future of this "Ditto timeline"
