"Chelsea?" I looked up into the brown eyes that were Benjamin Barker's and turned a bright red in realizing that neither of us were dressed and lying in my bed. I rubbed my eyes and he chuckled as he twirled a piece of my hair over his finger.

"Yes Mr. B?" I asked him as I entwined my fingers with his.

"We should really get married you know. Instead of lying and telling everybody that we are." I shivered as his hand found my cheek.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Ask me then maybe I'll say yes…" I grinned into his hard chest.

"Will you Miss Chelsea Scarlett Cleaver-Lovett marry me and stay with me forever as Mrs. Chelsea Scarlett Cleaver- Barker?"

"No." I told him simply.

"No? Why not? Have you had your fun with me for one night and now you're done?" He asked angrily snatching his hand from mine.

"No." I chuckled and held his face in my hands.

"I will only take you if I can be Mrs. Chelsea Scarlett Barker. I don't want my maiden name any more." I giggled into his face and his frown grew to a big smile as he breathed into my neck.

"I love you Mrs. Barker."

"I love you too Mr. Barker."

(3 Hours Later)

"Excuse me madam, is Mr. Barker here?"

"Oh yes he's up there. Can I take the boy in to get a meat pie?"

"Si Si. Whatever you like." Adolf Pirelli said pushing past me and up the stairs to my fiancés shop. I grinned at the thought of it and brought the boy into the shop. He smiled at me and Johanna waved the young man over to her.

"Hello Tobias!" He smiled at her and scooted into the booth with her as she laid down a book she had been engrossed with mere seconds before I had saw Pirelli making his way down the street in his ridiculous fur coat.

"Now I think I know a hungry boy when I see one. Would you like a meat pie Tobias wasn't it?"

"Yes mam! Thanks very much mam." Johanna and him started to talk and she pulled his hair.

"Johanna----! Oh." I chuckled.

"Sorry miss. But it gets so hot in it!" I nodded and served him up a pie, he had yanked a blonde wig off of his head to reveal short black hair. I handed him a glass of ale and tried to ignore the thumping noises I heard in Benjamin's shop.

"Can I try some mum?" She said glancing at the ale.

"No dear! Wait till you're older." I instructed her.

"But mum-----!"

"Don't wine Johanna it's very unattractive." I glanced at her and she stopped muttering under her breath.

"I'm going to go check on your father." I told her as I took the stairs two by two.

"What's going on in here?" Benjamin and Pirelli were sitting in the 'tea' chairs talking and laughing. Pirelli was stomping his feet from laughing so hard.

"Sorry love. We're just catching up on old times. Remember I told you about my old apprentice? Well this is him! Adolf Pirelli!" he chuckled as he poured the Italian another drink. I pursed my lips.

"Is that so love? Well congratulations for finding him. I'm going to go check up on the kids." I bustled out of the shop trying to keep from sounding too suspicious and walked into my shop and saw Johanna sipping out of Tobias's glass. I screamed at her angrily and bustled about the shop to help Tobias to another glass.

"Bloody children. Running around disrespectfully…"

"Good day Mr. Barker! Toby come on!" Toby stood up after he shoved the rest of his pie into his mouth before he took off helping his master into his coat. Pirelli had stormed from the stairs in an angry huff as Benjamin took the stairs three by three. I felt a low blush creep up my collar bone to my cheeks at the simple sight of him. He smirked at me and held the door open for the young boy.

"Can you believe it?"

"Believe what father?" Johanna asked curiously dropping her book again.

"He tried to black mail me! Half of my earnings! Says he was the one who turned me in and could turn my partner in crime in too!"

"So you did commit the crime sir?" Johanna asked with the same anxious curiosity as her eyebrows rose.

"I did not! He would probably turn your mother in and say she's my accompanist!" He said throwing one of his hands drastically in the air whilst he rubbed his temple with his other.

"Then why was Pirelli the one racing outta here?" I said putting my apron over my head. He turned fast to face me and I jumped slightly.

"I threatened him back! Told him I knew what he did with his female patients when he would trim their hair!" Johanna turned pink and I turned a drastic red at the look his face sported.

"So he ran outta here? Wouldn't you think that the two of you would get violent?"

"It wasn't worth getting violent…yet." He smirked and gestured to me I leaned in close to his ear as he whispered to me.

"He will be back. I owe him five pounds, from a bet I had lost to him many years ago. He seemed to forget about it when we sat down to make our deals."'

"So revenge will come?" I asked him sternly.

"Of course. How can I go without avenging my family?"
