I'm so sorry it has been so long. A combination of writer's block and life just getting in the way. Any way hope you enjoy and hope it was worth the wait. As ever all mistakes are mine. Please let me know if you see any, I know there are a few in the last part I need to correct but I haven't got around to it yet. I always loved writing stories, but grammar and spelling was never one of my strong points, so corrections are welcome. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews on the last part, I know everyone always says it but they mean a lot and each one is always special.

Sybil awoke from a blissful dream, eyes blinking at the sun which shone through the window, streaming across her face. The last week had been heavenly, more amazing than she ever thought possible. She hadn't known it was supposed to be like this, at least not for her. A gentle snore could be heard from her companion, lying next to her, still deeply in his land of nod.

She had discovered in the last few days that she loved to watch him sleep. She could lay there for hours perfectly entertained, by his luckily relatively quiet, snoring. He looked so peaceful and young without a care in the world and in those moments she could believe that he was hers forever. That nothing would ever come between them. She knew deep down that that wasn't true. At some point their lives would catch up, but it was good to pretend, at least for a while.

She slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her sleeping boy, and padded quietly towards the kitchen intent on making him breakfast in bed. She didn't cook granted but she could do toast or something she guessed. She surveyed the kitchen wondering where to start.

"So you're shagging my brother now are you?" came a voice from behind her

Sybil nearly jumped out of her skin.

"Saoirse, you nearly gave me a heart attack" said Sybil hand placed over her heart visibly trying to slow her breathing.

"Sorry" said Saoirse with a smile that revealed she was anything but. "Couldn't resist, no wonder he cheered up so quickly." She smiled shaking her head.

"I didn't know you were over from Ireland, Tom didn't say anything"

"Probably because he doesn't know. I came over last night, didn't have the chance to tell him. Plus it's harder for him to say no when I'm actually here. He is always saying he is going to take my key off me, but he never does"

"Probably because he knows your safer here than roaming around London."

"That's true. So you and my big brother, who would have thunk it? Well me obviously, after having to listen to him go on and on about you." Said Saoirse with a roll of her eyes.

"He spoke about me?" Sybil said surprised.

"Yes it was Sybil this and Sybil that, so I guess you and him, been going on for about a week or so?"

"Yes how did you know?"

"Well he was quiet heartbroken up till then, like a bear with a sore head on the phone. Then all of a sudden, he was back to being normal happy Tom. I guessed you might be the cause." Sybil smiled at this, glad that she seemed to make him as happy as he made her.

"I'm making him breakfast in bed, or attempting to at least." Said Sybil, looking warily around the kitchen.

"He told me you know" said Saoirse, suddenly turning serious; Sybil raised her eyebrows in question. "About Lewis? Is that his name?" Sybil turned beet red and began fiddling with the plates.

"Saoirse I um I" Sybil mumbled.

"Hey Its not any of my business" she said, lifting her hands in surrender. "But he's my big brother and if you hurt him, I will have to hurt you."

"I wouldn't expect anything less" said Sybil with a small smile.

"Just be careful he can act tough, but he's a big puppy dog really and he's fallen hard for you already. Just please be straight with him, that's all I ask."

"He's lucky to have a sister like you"

"Just keep reminding him of that, he seems to forget when I do something to annoy him" said Saoirse with a wink. "Anyhow I'll leave you too lovebirds to it, it was bad enough last night, there are some things a little sister should never ever hear, I may never recover" She sighed dramatically.

Sybil turned red at this, Saoirse just smiled, turned and headed for the front door.

"I think we may have scared your baby sister for life." Said Sybil returning to Tom's room, her woeful attempt at breakfast held out on a tray in front of her.

"Saoirse? She's here?"

"She was till about five minutes ago, and most of last night" Said Sybil wincing

"Oh opps" he said with a smile "well that will teach her, to visit unannounced" biting back a laugh. "Oh you made breakfast ?" He asked nervously tipping his head towards the tray.

"I tried" she said ruefully "You don't have to eat it"

As Sybil put down the tray, she noticed the letter lying on the bedside table.

"Hey" She said sitting on the bed placing the tray beside her. "This was in my bag" she picked up the letter waving it at him. He crawled over to her putting his arms around her from behind and his head on her shoulder.

"Technically it was on top off your bag, I thought we should take it out, we have been neglecting them lately" he whispered into her ear.

"Oh have we?" she exclaimed turning her head so she could meet his eyes. "Well that your fault you've been distracting me" She said raising her eyebrows.

"Oh I have, have I" He pulled her down on top of him, careful not to knock the tray, as she giggled, he kissed her soundly. They were lost again in each other for several minutes, until they heard a crash. Sybil looked up from the bed; the contents of the tray now scatted over his bedroom floor.

"See, distracting" She said with an arched eyebrow, poking him in the chest.

"Oh sorry love, your lovely breakfast" he said ruefully.

She narrowed her eyes at him "You're not sorry at all, you don't trust my cooking"

"I didn't plan it, but would you hate me if I said I'm not exactly sure I'm sorry" he said truthfully. "It's the thought that counts and it was a very nice thought" he added.

She looked down at the floor scrunching up her nose. "It's no great loss, but you are buying me breakfast now" she said leaning down to kiss him.

"Okay, but letter first, or I might distract you again."

She smiled and reluctantly pulled herself off him, scrambling across the bed to pick up the letter. Tom made himself comfortable propped up against the headboard and Sybil then returned to her favourite place, laying down her head on Tom's chest.

"There is nothing from Gran Gran with this, Its a letter from Tom, Maybe you should read it out" she said handing him the letter.

"But you normally read them, I like listening to you" he wined

"Well maybe, just maybe, I think you have a really, really sexy voice and I want to hear you read to me" She said playing with the hairs on his chest, which she had learnt over the last week made him crazy. "Please, you owe me for breakfast" she said pouting and looking up at him with big eyes, which she had also learnt he couldn't resist

"Okay, okay" He said grabbing the letter and rolling his eyes. "If you insist".

Sybil smiled sweetly at him and placed her head back on his chest ready to listen.

Dear Sybil,

I still can't believe I'm writing this. I don't really know why I am. I guess I need to make sense of what just happened. I need to know that it was real and was not one of my many dreams. I have dreamt of you for so long, I am scared that I have finally gone out of my mind.

Did you just except my proposal? Did I finally kiss you? Please tell me its true, because my heart can't take it, if it is not. Deep down I know it is, from the beating of my heart and the singing in my soul. You will be my wife and we will be married, but I have waiting so long for those words, I can scarcely believe it true.

I know running away is drastic but I cannot see another way. If we tell I am sure your Family will never allow us to marry, but if we are already, there is nothing they can do. They will not be able to take you away from me. They will not be able to force us apart. I will do whatever you want Sybil. I told you I will wait forever and I shall. Just please don't make forever too long. I am not sure my heart can take it

Yours forever my love

Tom

Sybil sighed "God Tom was so romantic and sweet"

"Are you saying I'm not?" Tom questioned her with a raised eyebrow.

"Well you did just ruin my lovingly prepared breakfast" pouted Sybil but there was laugher in her eyes.

"I think you will find that was the both of us, it not just me who does the distracting around here Miss Crawley." He said, picking her up by the elbows and kissing her.

"Thought you were going to buy me breakfast?" She asked as he started to kiss down her neck.

"Later" he panted between kisses. "Got some distracting to do first."

Sybil giggled. Yeah she never thought it could be like this and she planned to hold on to it as long as she could. He was still leaving and she was still sort of engaged to another man. But in this moment, in any moment they shared in fact, none of that seemed to matter.

Please review, they keep me writing. Hopefully it won't be as long between parts next time.
