Chapter 6-Lost And Insecure

In Which Anastasia worries about the after effects of her pregnancy including her weight. Will shows her how well loved she is.

Baby Matthew is only eight weeks old when he first sleeps through the night and Anastasia is still sore and just so grateful for the sleep that she doesn't see it, doesn't even register it until the next day when Will convinces her to go outside again.

She slips into one of her looser pairs of jeans and she pauses. Granted she knew carrying about a baby for nine months was nothing short of figure destroying and the baby had seemed to want nothing more than a barrage of unhealthy foods at all times of the day resulting a lot of weight being gained throughout her pregnancy.

She eventually dresses in a pair of leggings and one of her loosest jumpers and she winces as she steps out into the cold crisp air. It makes her feel slightly sick how everyone must be looking at her and how they must be judging her and how fat she must look.

She's almost glad when she gets to Granny's because both Will and Matt are there the former holding the latter and whispering and cooing. She can see Hook peering over with an expression of interest and of course there's Regina and the Charming's and the rest of the Merry Men.

She wraps her arm around Will smiling in spite of her anguish "Did he behave?" she asked cooing at Matt's dark eyes (an identical to Will in every way)

"Oh yes" Will said smiling that same smile that is only reserved for her and now Matt. "But I think he's glad that he's back in Daddy's arms" he grinned upwards "Well daddy is glad that he's back in his arms anyway" he glowered darkly in the direction of Hook "I think the pirate was getting ideas"

Ana laughed before catching sight of herself in the mirror opposite where they were sat. All she could see was fat. She looked hideous not like the queen and the wife she had once been.

Oh God was Will gonna leave her once he had the opportunity to see what she was like underneath the whole of her baggy clothes? Was she that disgusting that she would make Will unable to be with her? Would he want someone else regardless of what he had promised her?

"Ana?" Will muttered looking at her his face worried still cradling Matthew in his arms who was beginning to fuss looking sleepy. "Can we go home Will?" she asked looking around flattening herself to Will's side and Will nodded looking at her in concern "Is something wrong?" he asked but Ana shook her head unable to voice her deepest darkest fears.

"I wanna go home" she said her eyes shining with something hating her petulant wine and her voice.

"Okay" Will said letting Ana slide out the seat before gently detaching Matthew into the buggy before wrapping him up tenderly in a dark navy blue thick blanket and passing him the little white bunny he liked to play with when he was awake.

"Ana" he said as they got outside and Ana took another deep breathe unable to stop the tears coursing down her face. "Will please" she cried and Will nodded pushing the buggy wrapping one arm around her and keeping her steady.

The second they got home Anastasia picked baby Matt up placing him down in the dark wood crib that the nice man Gepetto had been kind enough to give them for free and tucked him in.

"You wanna tell me what's going on?" Will asked from the doorway of the nursery and Ana turned to spin the mobile with its glow in the dark lights.

"I'm ugly" she said as she gently shut the door and Will blinked "What?" he asked and Ana laughed bitterly, her hands shaking as she pulled off her jumper till she was just in her bra and leggings. "Look at me Will" she cried her eyes wide and her hands shaking as her cries increased the hormones and the emotions that she had bottled up exploding.

"You deserve better than me, Will" she cried unable to stop herself "I'm evil and I'm ugly and you deserve so much more…" but she never really finished the sentence because at that moment Will had crossed the room in two strands and hugged her so tightly it was like she couldn't breathe.

"You listen to me Anastasia" he said his voice low and serious "I love you, I love you so much that I had my heart ripped out to try and avoid you, I love you so much when you died I wanted…no I begged Jafar to kill me to. You and that boy in there are the only reason that sometimes I get up in the morning and you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Darling" he paused tucking her hair behind her ear "You are the one that deserves better than me"

"I love you" he whispered again before sitting down half carrying them to the bed. He stripped her of her boots and jeans slid on of his other jumpers before tucking her into bed sliding an arm around her spooning her from the back.

"I love you" he said again letting her lean on his arm. "I will always love you"

And that night every member of the Scarlett family fell asleep peacefully for the first time in a long time.

Next Chapter-Will suffers nightmare's in the aftermath of Anastasia's return and Ana tries to help.
