Hi! So, I've been super busy with school, but do not worry! I plan to keep writing. You should see my notes from class. There's all these little notes about ideas for FanFics...yep. :)

Connie Rose: Thank you! I am so far, mostly, but I honestly hope it gets better. :)

The-Final-Hope: There might be, but I have an idea for another story in mind. It involves a sleepover. ;) OMG thank you for all the cookies! I'm getting to fat! :)

TheMusicalDevil: I know! Jem, C'mon! Claim your woman! Don't let Will just make out with her on the ground! ;) So glad you liked the duck bit! :) And yes, I still have time to write to you. Sadly, not as much. :( But it's the weekend now! :)

mezzogal: Jem is just giving them their...privacy? Idk. He's a little bored of the sexuality tension. ;) And probably sometime in Clockwork Prince?

Ink2parchment: Haha you are so right! There will be a scream...some cursing at the duck...things like that! :)

SaneLilies: Haha thanks for the suggestion! I used them, and I created a story with them! It'll probably be the next one I post. Can't wait for it! :)

ASilverShadowhunter: Hi again! *waves* What's up? Anyways, thank you so much! You are too kind. :) I mean it. Haha I can imagine the duck thing! It's like, he'll freak out, probably injure Tessa in the meanwhile...ducks. Hey, have you ever seen the movie Frozen? If you have, you know the scene with Anna holding the baby ducks, talking about finding "her one"? Well, I found a post somewhere, I forget where, maybe it was pinterest, but it had a caption, that said, "Well, with all those ducks Anna, you can be sure it won't be a Herondale." I laughed so hard. :)

IluvMagnus101: So glad you loved it! :)

SilverJem5: Thank you! You don't know how much your kind words mean to me! :) I'm super happy that you like my stories! :) Oh yeah, the first is one of my favorites, too. :) Hopefully this one doesn't disappoint. Oh, hey, I'm planning another Church story in the future. :)

DISCLAIMER: The characters aren't mine. They never will be, but I'm still waiting for my real life Jem or Will. :)

My New Inventions: Henry has been very customers with his inventions. When Charlotte, feeling ignored, decides a to pay him a visit, will she end up happy or disappointed? And how will Henry react to her emotions?

My New Inventions

"Charlotte, dear!" Henry called from the basement, "Come here! I have something to show you!"

Charlotte rushed downstairs, eager to see what Henry was up to, and also to make sure he wasn't hurt. He had a habit of setting things, especially his clothing articles, on fire, and not noticing.

"Henry?" she called, looking around the room, but not seeing him.

"Over here, Lottie!" she heard him reply, and he stepped out from behind a rather tall cabinet.

He was intact, and she couldn't see any visible injuries. He was holding a gadget, something that looked much like a futuristic toaster.

"What is that?" she asked.

"It's my new toaster! You butter the bread before you put toast it in here!" he exclaimed, "Here. Let me show you."

Henry took a piece of bread and lathered butter on it. He slipped it into the toaster, and pressed the knob down. Within seconds, a burning smell filled the room, and Charlotte gasped.

"Henry! The toast is on fire!" she yelled, pointing at the burning piece of bread. Henry looked down slowly, then jumped back in surprise.

"Good heavens! It's not supposed to do that!" he exclaimed, and looked around, panic in his eyes, "Quick! We must put the fire out!"

Charlotte rushed to the table in the corner, where they kept an emergency pitcher of water, if anything like this was to happen. She dumped it onto the flaming toaster, and the fire sizzled to a stop.

Henry looked abashed, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to set it on fire."

Charlotte groaned, "Yes, you never mean to, but you always seem to."

Henry watched her with big puppy dog eyes as she spun on her heel and walked back upstairs.

Henry didn't come upstairs for dinner, and Charlotte began to feel guilty. Henry was sensitive, but he was also very smart. He should have known that she wasn't that mad at him. Just minorly annoyed that he had managed to set else on fire

She prepared a plate of sandwiches, and walked downstairs to bring them to him. "Henry, dear?" she called as she entered the basement.

She heard a rustling, and Henry emerged from the shadows.

"Yes, Charlotte?" he replied, a terrible sadness in his voice.

She felt her heart break a little. "Well, you didn't come for dinner, so I brought you a little something to eat."

She thought she saw him smile, but then he just said, in the same voice as before, "Thank you. You can leave them on that table."

Charlotte placed the plate down, and went to stand near her husband. Placing a hand on his shoulder, she asked, "I'm sorry for scolding you earlier."

He looked away, "No, I deserved it. I do tend to make a mess of things sometimes. All right, a lot of the times."

Charlotte smiled softly, "Don't think like that. You created the portal. That's amazing."

Henry gazed at her with the same admiration he had when he had asked her to marry him, "You really think so?"

"Yes. I have always thought so. I'm sorry I don't give you enough credit. You are brilliant, darling." Charlotte said gently.

Henry smiled, and gave her a quick hug, "Thanks, but I better get back to what I was doing before. Thanks for the sandwiches."

Charlotte frowned as he turned his back to her, already deeply immersed in his inventions. Why, he loved them more than her!

That night, Henry was late to bed again. It was usual, but Charlotte was kind of hoping he would be on time for once. For her.

She was half asleep when she heard the door creaking open, and feet scuffing the floor. She heard Henry whisper-yelling at himself for being loud. He turned on a dim light, and she saw him place a package or box or something on the dresser, before he changed into his night clothes. She felt him press a quick kiss to her forehead, before settling into his spot in their bed.

She fell asleep fast after that.

The next morning, she awoke, and Henry wasn't in bed. He was probably in the basement already. She saw the package still sitting on the dresser, and she went to examine it.

To her surprise, it was a gift wrapped box, addressed to none other than her. She read the small note attached to the side.

Lottie,

I'm sorry for being so busy with my inventions these last few days. Please forgive me, and accept this gift.

Love, Henry

She carefully removed the wrapping, and stared at the object in her hands. It was a rectangular device, with a metal frame. It was about the size of a small piece of paper. She pressed a small button on the front, and the screen flashed on.

Words covered the screen, and she read a few, recognizing them as the love letters Henry had written her while he had courted her. There was another button, they allowed her to flip through many different letters.

Clutching the gift to her chest, she rushed downstairs, nearly smashing into Will and Jem, who were heading into the breakfast room.

"Morning, Charlotte," they both greeted her, but she just pushed past them.

"Wonder what came over her," Will said, and Jem shrugged.

Charlotte ran into the room, and saw Henry standing up by the table. Before she knew what she was doing, she threw herself into his arms.

He caught her, and held her against him.

"Thank you," Charlotte whispered, "Thank you so much. I love it. It's wonderful."

"You're welcome," Henry replied, and leaned down to kiss her.

So what did you guys think of my first Charlotte and Henry FanFic? Hey, what is the ship name for them? Does anyone know? Just asking. :)

Anyway, thanks for reading! I'm going to try to post another by the time the week is over. :)

~Hearts With Love~
