Chapter 11

Bambi woke a couple hours later to the soft whimpers of Teddy, pulling her head away from Ichabod's shoulder to see the baby nuzzling insistently at Ichabod's chest, wincing in remembered pain Bambi sat up fully and grabbed Teddy before gently removing Ichabod's arm from her waist Bambi quietly slipped from his side.

Grabbing her thick wool robe on the way down to ward off the chill that had settled in the house Bambi quickly wrapped it around them both as she made her way downstairs an into the kitchen, where she grabbed one of his bottles, eyeballing the amount of bottles sitting in the Refrigerator door while she heated up Teddy's bottle Bambi made a mental note to make more later on in the day.

Walking into the family room Bambi sat down on the couch quickly bringing up her legs that she covered with a blanket before she cuddled Teddy close, checked the milks temperature before giving it to Teddy who immediately latched on and suckled from the bottle with a satisfied grunt, still feeling chilled Bambi looked up at the fireplace and shrugged before quickly having a fire roaring in the fireplace, sighing softly as the heat reached her Bambi settled more comfortably into the couch.

Looking down at the little boy who was currently sporting dark brown locks and bright green eyes Bambi couldn't help but smile at him as the overwhelming feeling of love flowed through her.

"Hey my sweet boy," Bambi whispered, pulling her as close to her chest as she could get him, "this last week has been pretty hectic huh? but I would like to think in a good way, though just between you and me I could do without headless running around, be a lot better on your poor old mum," Bambi muttered softly as she gently took the bottle, set in on the nightstand behind her and started burping Teddy.

Once he had burped she lowered him back down into her arms and gave him his bottle back as she sat there staring at tiny little creature that was hers as she sat there a song she had sung him once when he had been just a week old floated through her mind.

"when all the world is spinning round like a red balloon way up in the clouds, and my will not stay on the ground you anchor me back down," Bambi started softly, rocking from side to side as she set the now empty bottle down on the nightstand and proceeded to burp him once more.

"I am nearly world renowned, as the restless soul who always skips town, but I look for you to come around and anchor me back down," hearing his soft burp she once more brought him back into her arms as she continued to rock him.

"There are those who think that I'm strange they would box me up and tell me to change, but you hold me close and softly say that you wouldn't have me any other way,"

"When people pin me as a clown you behave as though I'm wearing a crown, when I am lost I feel so very found when you anchor me back down,"

"There are those who think that I'm strange they would box me up and tell me to change but you hold me close and softly say that you wouldn't have me any other way,"

"when all the world is spinning round like a red balloon way up in the clouds and my feet will not stay on the ground you anchor me back down," Bambi finished the song softly as she leaned down to kiss Teddy's forehead trying not to move to much less she wake him.

"You have a beautiful voice darling," Bambi jumped slightly at hearing the sleep roughened voice behind her, turning she looked at the sleep rumbled Ichabod as embarrassment and shock battled for a place in her system.

"How long have you been down here?" Bambi asked feeling her cheeks heat up as she blushed, embarrassment it was.

"Since just before you started singing, though I was awake the moment the two of you left the bed," Ichabod stated sitting down on the couch as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "I would have gotten up and fed him darling, you need sleep," Ichabod whispered softly as he gently stroked her cheek.

"I appreciate that but you need your sleep as well love, besides I wanted to get with him," Bambi said softly as she snuggled more firmly into Ichabod's side as a sense of sweet peace settled over her.

It was quiet between the two of them reveling in the contentment that flowed through her before Ichabod reached over and raised her head up with his index finger under her chin, "if I ever over step with Teddy, I want you to say something, I never want to come between you and Teddy, all I want to do is help you," Ichabod said seriously.

Bambi smiled and turned to fully face him, resting Teddy against the both of them, "I know and I do appreciate everything you do, do over this last week," Bambi said, "but I didn't realize how hard it would be for me to let go, it's just been me and this milk monster since I got custody of him," Bambi said softly as they both looked down at the sleeping baby, before she looked back up at Ichabod with a gentle smile as she cupped his scruffy cheek "just bare with me, we will find our balance," Bambi stated, Ichabod nodded and smiled before he pulled her legs and the blanket onto his lap and held both her and Teddy close.

They sat like that for about an hour before Bambi pulled out of the hug and stood, after adjusting Teddy, she pulled Ichabod on his feet, feeling him rest his forehead on her shoulder, she patted his cheek, "come one love, let's go back to bed," she whispered, Ichabod groaned softly and wrapped his arms around her waist as he buried his face in her neck.

"Mmm you smell good," Ichabod mumbled sleepily, Bambi chuckled and patted his hands as she awkwardly walked up the stairs, walking into her room she quickly untangle herself from Ichabod and gently pushed him on the bed before laying Teddy down in his bassinet, turning to face her bed she smiled at Ichabod who was facing her with a sleepy smile and turned down sheets all ready for her to crawl in, which she did after stripping out of her robe. Turning around to face the window and Teddy, Bambi couldn't help but squeak when Ichabod pulled her to him and buried his face in her neck once more, Bambi giggled softly as Ichabod's beard gently scratched at her.

"I really need to shave your beard love," Bambi said still giggling softly as she pressed herself fully into Ichabod's body, sighing as his heat enveloped her.

Ichabod grumbled unhappily and Bambi sighed though she was still smiling, "how about I make you a deal, I won't shave it all off, instead I'll trim in that way it's not so scruffy and stringy, and the next time we go out either to the market or someplace else we will look into getting you some products to help tend to it, does that sound better?" Bambi questioned and Ichabod hummed contentedly. Burying his face further against her neck Ichabod slowly started to run his hand up and down over her stomach which surprised her, but not as much as it surprised her when it started to lull her back into sleep, sighing softly Bambi burrowed down into the covers, whispered a soft 'goodnight' to Ichabod before falling asleep.

The rest of the feedings, were traded off between the two of them that is until Ichabod woke her just after the 8 a.m feeding, "Bambi, wake up darling," Ichabod called softly as he gently shook her.

Bambi slowly woke and smiled at Ichabod who was now gently stroking her cheek, "everything ok love?" Bambi asked looking up at him with sleepy curiosity.

"Everything is fine, I'm sorry for waking you, but I want to check your wound on your side I want to make sure an infection hasn't set in," Ichabod said calmly and Bambi would have believed him if it had been for his eyes, his eyes were wild with fear and it was then that Bambi remembered that people died from the type of wound she had been inflicted with the night before, taking a deep breath and squashing down any annoyance at being treated like she couldn't take care of herself, Bambi pushed down the covers and raised up her nightgown to right above the bandage before grabbing his hand in hers and pressed a kiss to the back of it, "have at it love, but I don't think it's infected, I had a good doctor," Bambi stated trying to get him to laugh.

It worked as the fear died in his eyes slightly as he chuckled, "Have a lot infected wounds have you darling?" Ichabod jokingly questioned, though his hand squeezed hers back in thanks.

Bambi wince slightly, "uh, actually yes I have," Bambi stated stiltedly, causing Ichabod to look at her as he gently took off the old bandage, one that Bambi was shocked to see was covered in dried blood, well then that would explain the exhaustion she felt, looks like she would be taking a blood replenisher before breakfast.

"I assume that statement has something to do with the relatives that you have no desire to speak of," Ichabod stated as he dipped a cloth into the ever present bowl of Murlap essence and gently started to clean around the wound.

"You would be correct," Bambi whispered wincing as he the dried blood pulled at her skin, Ichabod seeing her wince, grimaced himself and pressed a kiss to her panty covered him in an apology.

Bambi smiled and patted his shoulder, "what would you like for breakfast this morning?" Bambi asked as she raised her arm to let him have better access to her wound.

Ichabod chuckled and continued to wipe down the wound before he set the dirty cloth on the old bandage, picked up a new one soaked it in the Murlap essence before pulling open the wound and squeezed the liquid into the wound to help continue to fight any infection they couldn't see, "I am not picky anything you are willing to cook I am willing to eat," Ichabod stated as he set aside the cloth down with the other before picking up a new bandage that he taped down.

"I know that, but I want to cook something for you, so tell me what you would like to eat for breakfast?" Bambi questioned as she sat up letting her nightgown fall back down as she pulled him between her legs and rested her chin on her stomach.

Ichabod chuckled as he pulled her hair out of the messy bun that she had put it in at some point and started running his fingers through it, pulling a contented purr from Bambi, "if I am being honest I am feeling a little homesick would it be too much to ask to make full English breakfast?" Ichabod asked as he gently pulled on Bambi's curls.

Bambi smiled and squeezed his waist, "not at all, once you let me go I'll quickly take a shower, get dressed and head down to the kitchen to start on breakfast, do you have a preference on either pancakes, waffles, or French toast?" Bambi asked as she ran her hands up and down his back.

Ichabod hummed thoughtfully, "your stuffed French toast, strawberry please?" Ichabod said and Bambi nodded as she nuzzled against his chest, "that means you have to let me go love," Bambi muttered, Ichabod sighed but untangled his hands from her curls.

"Do you mind if I take Teddy into the shower with me?" Ichabod asked as Bambi stood in order to grab Teddy herself, Bambi looked over her shoulder and smiled before nodding her head and traded places with Ichabod. While he snagged the purple haired infant who cooed Bambi picked up the dirty bandage and what not, pressing a kiss to both Teddy and Ichabod's heads Bambi headed into the bathroom to start her day.

After throwing everything away and hoping into the shower Bambi decided to enjoy her baby-less shower and took her time to shampoo and condition her hair and shaved everything that needed shaving before rinsing her body and hair off before stepping out of the shower, patting herself dry before she grabbed her after shower oil and rubbed it over her body, once that was done Bambi quickly divided her hair into two parts and braided each section, Ichabod may like her down but when she was cooking she really needed it to be pulled back, walking into her room with the intent to get dress Bambi blinked when she saw an outfit laid out on the bed already for her. Walking over to her bed she smiled when she saw that it was a lovely but simple long sleeved black dress that had a sweetheart neckline and the full flared skirt hit just above her knees to be honest it was one of her favorites, the dress had been paired with a pair of white tights and black ballet flats, picking up the dress Bambi chuckled when she saw a matching bra and panty set in lavender.

"The nerve of that man," Bambi thought to herself as she shook her head and quickly got dressed in the outfit Ichabod had picked out. Walking out of her room Bambi was able to hear the water running from Ichabod's room and quickly darted inside, walking over to his closet she looked through his clothes before grabbing a white cotton shirt, white boxers and black suspenders, walking back into his room she laid the outfit out on the bed, before quietly running out of the room and into the nursery where she grabbed a similar outfit for Teddy along with a new diaper before she ducted back into Ichabod's room and laid out Teddy's outfit next to his, with that done she went downstairs to start on breakfast for her little family.

By the time Ichabod and Teddy came downstairs she had had knocked back a blood replenisher and was feeling much better and had already set out a pot of earl grey tea, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, along with hashbrowns and was currently working on fried mushrooms, fried green tomatoes, and had all the fixings for the stuffed French toast, hearing Ichabod talking to Teddy as he came down the stairs Bambi turned and cooed at them, "aww you two look adorable," Bambi gushed as she plated the mushrooms and tomatoes that she then sent to the table before starting on the French toast.

"You look beautiful as always," Ichabod said, laying Teddy in his crib before darting forwards and wrapping his arms around her waist while pressing a kiss to her cheek.

He stayed behind her hugging her tightly as he watched her cook the French toast, smiling Bambi sent out her magic to the old gramophone in the corner of the living room, it quickly sprung to life and let out a soft classical piece. Ichabod hummed it softly in her ear as he swayed them, ash the French toast cooked Bambi leaned back into Ichabod with a happy sigh, she knew she should put a stop to all of this, he was learning who he was without the cloudy, haze that was a love potion and while he was in a whole new century, but as he buried his face in her neck as he continued to hum to the music Bambi felt her magic roll over her skin happily before settling into a very calm state that she had never felt before, no matter how hard she tried there would be no distancing herself from this man, even if she did want to.

"So I was thinking that after breakfast and your trim, you, Teddy, and myself could take a little trip into the city to visit the natural history museum, maybe start on filling in some of your gaps to your knowledge from that nap you were forced into" Bambi questioned as she plated the three French toast that had been frying sent the plate to Ichabod's place at the table before adding two more to the pan.

"A long nap? is that we are calling it now?" Ichabod asked, chuckling deeply as Bambi fought hard against the shiver that wanted to race up her back, who knew her neck would be so sensitive.

"I like that idea very much, thank you," Ichabod said softly holding her tighter as he continued to sway them to the next song.

"Of course," Bambi said, pressing a quick kiss to his cheek before flipping her two French toast pieces onto her plate and sent it to the table, patting his hand gently to get him to let go of her, which he did with an unhappy grunt before he grabbed her hand and led the way to the table, once seated Bambi quickly waved her hand at the mess and smiled as the dished cleaned themselves.

As the two ate they talked, laughed and joked, there was even a bit of flirting with one another, by the time they were done eating pretty much all the various dishes were gone, once more Bambi waved her hand and sent the dishes to the sink to be cleaned before the two moved over to the couch to let their food settle a bit.

"That was amazing Bambi as always, I don't think Miss. Lucinda could have done any better," Ichabod said as he kicked his feet up and pulled her into his side, Bambi hummed and laid her head on his shoulder while looking up at him, who was Miss. Lucinda?" Bambi asked curiously.

"She was the house cook my Father employed, though she honestly was more like my nanny and mother as well, she became one of the reasons why I joined General Washington," Ichabod said softly.

"I will take the high praise then," Bambi said pressing a kiss to his shoulder," what about your father? what was he like?" Bambi asked curiously.

Ichabod grimaced and almost as he had been programmed he automatically sat up straight, took his feet off the table and his face became blank," my father was..." Ichabod trailed off obviously struggling with his words.

"Hey, it's ok, we will just put your father into a box with my relatives to talk about when we are ready," Bambi said softly stroking his chest. Ichabod nodded slightly before pulling her directly onto his lap and made her look at him, "I know I just made you promise me that you would let me know if I ever step on your toes when it comes to Teddy, but I also need you to promise me that as long as you allow me in yours and Teddy's lives that if I even remotely start ignoring either of you, that you say something as well, promise me, please," Ichabod begged almost desperately as he cupped her face.

Seeing the fear in his eyes, Bambi gripped his wrists and rubbed her thumbs along the underside of his wrist feeling his heart attempt to beat out of his veins, "I promise," Bambi whispered leaning forward and leaned her forehead against his, "I promise," Bambi whispered once more, Ichabod nodded as he took a deep breath as he closed his eyes, trying to collect himself, Bambi didn't say anything just kept running her thumbs along his wrists as she leaned against him.

It took a few minutes for Ichabod to calm down but once she noticed that his desperate breathing had gone back to a normal rhythm, Bambi pressed a kiss to his nose before she leaned back slightly, "come, let's get this day going," Bambi stated as she stood and pulled Ichabod along with her to the downstairs bathroom.

Conjuring a chair she had Ichabod sit while she grabbed a towel, a pair of scissors, a comb, his straight razor and Teddy before she walked quickly back into the bathroom where she set the towel, comb, his straight razor and scissors down on the sink before she laid a sleeping Teddy on his stomach with a smile, walking around the chair Bambi hopped up onto the sink behind Ichabod got the towel under his chin before she grabbed the comb and scissors, tipped his head back and started on trimming his beard.

It took about an hour to get his beard to where she wanted it and thought it looked the best, as she gently patted his chin and cheeks she couldn't help but eye the patches that where in her beard, she knew that with time and care those patches would grown in eventually and Bambi couldn't wait, she had a feeling that with a thick full beard Ichabod would be even more handsome. After she was done with his beard, Bambi was able to talk him into letting her trim his hair of all his split ends, by the time she was fully done with Ichabod he had relaxed so much that he was half asleep in the chair. Gently sliding out from behind Ichabod Bambi quickly summoned her phone and took a picture of Ichabod and Teddy, as she looked at the picture Bambi couldn't help but see how much they could pass for father and son, shaking that thought from her mind Bambi shoved her phone into her bra before grabbing Teddy and quickly put in his playpen in the living room before going back into the bathroom, bending over and gently ran her hand over Ichabod's cheek, she smiled as she watched his eyelids flutter as he hummed softly, "come on handsome time to wake up, we have things to do," Bambi cooed gently against his ear.

"Mmm, are you done?" Ichabod questioned sleepily, turning his face towards her and nuzzled into her neck.

"Yeah, I am, time for you to get up," Bambi stated as she sat in his lap, feeling him wrap his arms around her waist as he hummed Bambi laughed softly before standing back up, "Teddy and I will me you in the kitchen when you are ready to go love," Bambi said before bending down once more and kissed his cheek then left then left the bathroom. Walking into the kitchen she summoned her diaper bag and quickly made sure she had wipes, an extra change of clothes and diapers before she snagged the last few bottles that were left. Cursing softly she quickly grabbed the clean bottles and started to fill them with formula and water before putting them under Statius charms in the fridge, nodding happily at the semi full row of bottles Bambi quickly snagged Teddy summoned his shoes and jacket that she quickly got on him.

By the time she had gotten Teddy already to go Ichabod came out of the bathroom and grabbed his boots that he quickly laced up, the two of them headed for the door where Ichabod slipped into his coat and grabbed hers before the three of them left the house and headed to the car, once Teddy was in his car seat Ichabod helped her into her coat before opening her car door, smiling softly at him she slipped inside and started the car up. While they waited for the heat to kick on, Bambi quickly sent a text to Corbin to let him know that they were going into the city and would most likely be gone all day, once that was done Bambi quickly pulled out of her drive way and headed towards town and the Freeway.

The whole drive into the city the two talked and laughed, trading stories from their youth, they both wanted to get to know each other even better. Due to the traffic gridlock the two hour trip that was the usual turned into a four hour trip, thankfully due to the gridlock when Teddy needed to be changed or fed either Ichabod or Bambi could get out to tend to him safely, by the time they got into the city it was going on three in the afternoon and they were starving, looking around they were quick to pull into a parking lot for the a diner simply known as Ma's.

Quickly getting out of the car, Ichabod grabbed the diaper bag while Bambi got Teddy out of his car seat before they headed into the diner where they were quickly seated with a pair of menus.

"You know I think this place was a hotel once, with a restaurant on the ground floor," Ichabod said softly looking around the place.

"Oh really?" Bambi asked as she settled Teddy in her lap and still have use of her arms having already decided on the cheeseburger and fries for her lunch.

Not hearing a response Bambi looked up and saw that Ichabod was looking out of their window with a sad and confused look on his face, "Is everything ok?" Bambi asked softly, Ichabod just nodded and Bambi sighed before reaching across the table and wrapped her hand around his large one and squeezed, "I can't imagine how hard all of this is for you Ichabod and if I could send you back to your own time, I would but I can't so now our best bet is for you to feel comfortable here in the this time and the only way for that to happen is for you to talk to me, so please whatever it is just tell me," Bambi pleaded softly.

Ichabod sighed softly before intertwining their fingers together, "the memory only just became clear, I've been getting memory flashbacks for a couple of days now but it's like I was looking at one memory through one eye and looking at the same memory only different through the other eyes, if that makes sense," Ichabod said softly.

Bambi nodded, "It does...what...what is it that you are remembering if I can ask," Bambi questioned, trying so hard not to be intrusive but still be there for him, she can only imagine his emotions right about now.

"It was mine and Katarina's first date I think? the first memory I saw was of us having a good time, laughing, talking the whole thing seemed perfect, now I know that was just the love potion that she must of dosed me with when I came back from the bathroom, the truth? It was awful, I couldn't stand her, her attitude, the way she talked, she was...she was just so spoiled, her father did everything for her and it showed, I had plans to politely turn her down when I came back from the bathroom but I took a sip of my tea before I did and I stayed instead," Ichabod said, shrugging his shoulders with a self deprecating snort.

Bambi shook her head, "you don't get to blame yourself, you were drugged, nothing you did was you, I know it's easier said than done, but you can't blame any of your actions on yourself, if you need someone to blame, blame Katarina," Bambi said softly but with strength.

Ichabod was quiet for a few minutes before giving her a small smile and kissed the back of her hand, before he dropped I down to the table as the waitress came over to collect their order, once the waitress left their conversation took on a nicer turn, one that lasted the rest of their time spent at the diner, the burgers they ordered were surprisingly good and judging by Ichabod's expression she knew they would be back eventually.

After they were done eating and Bambi had paid their bill they loaded back into the car and continued onto the museum. They spent a couple of hours there, walking around the whole of the museum, where Ichabod asked question after question that Bambi did her best to answer, after they were done at the museum they ended up walking down the street to the library. Bambi signed herself up for a library card which allowed Ichabod to check out almost every book he could get his hands on, about every topic from the revolutionary war to the cold war, thankfully the librarian had bags available that they used to load up the books before heading back to the car, where they loaded said bags into the trunk of her car. After the books where loaded in Bambi got Teddy into his car seat and Ichabod sat in the passenger seat himself with a sigh, after asking him to keep an eye on Teddy Bambi quickly ran back to a hair care store that she had remembered seeing on the way to the library, once at the store Bambi quickly grabbed a beard care kit and some shampoo and conditioner that would help get his hair healthy, paying for them she quickly headed back to her car ready to finally head home.

The two of them were quieter on the way home, tired after a long day of fun, they did continue to tell each other stories that is until Ichabod fell asleep against the window, with a chuckle Bambi turned on the radio loud enough for her to hear it but soft enough for it not to wake Ichabod or Teddy. Thankfully the drive home was a lot quicker than the drive into the city was, and she pulled into her drive way two hours later just as Corbin pulled in as well, Corbin got out of the car and waved before holding up a large bag of food, waving back she couldn't help but be thankful that he had thought about herself and Ichabod as well when it came to dinner.

Turning to Ichabod she gently shook him to wake him up, once he was awake Bambi got out of the car and quickly got Teddy out of his car seat, hearing footsteps behind her she looked over her shoulder to see Ichabod behind her, smiling softly Bambi stood and handed Teddy to him, "do you mind taking Teddy in? Corbin's already in the house with something for dinner," Bambi asked softly, Ichabod nodded and took Teddy before hugging her tightly and pressed a kiss to the top of her head, "thank you for such an amazing day," Ichabod whispered before walking into the house, Bambi smiled to herself, happy that he had, had such a good day before she grabbed one of the bag of books and the bag of products before heading into the house herself.

Corbin, Ichabod and Bambi all sat around the kitchen island tiredly eating dinner, they did share their days with each other while they decompressed, once they were done eating they quickly cleaned up before Bambi grabbed Teddy and the three of them headed upstairs. After saying good night to Corbin Ichabod went into his room and Bambi headed into Teddy's nursery where she did a quick diaper change before getting him into a clean pair of pj's, once Teddy was taken care of Bambi headed into her room only to stop when she saw Ichabod was already in her bed with one of his books.

Smiling to herself, Bambi entered her room and laid Teddy in his bassinet before grabbing her nightgown and headed into the bathroom where she washed and moisturized her face, tied her two braids together to keep them manageable, slipped into her nightgown and headed back into her.

Walking around the bed she sat on what she was now considering her side and opened the nightstand drawer and pulled out her vanilla sugar body lotion, squeezing some into her hands, she quickly got her legs up onto the bed and started to massage it into her skin, "anything interesting?" Bambi questioned as she squeezed ore lotion into her hand and moved onto her other leg.

"Not really, these history books about my time read more like a novel, than any actual truth as we have learned," Ichabod snorted in disgust.

Bambi chuckled as she rubbed lotion into her arms, "yes well it's not like they could have told the truth on what actually happened," Bambi said as she finally shifted under the covers with a shiver, raising her hand Bambi quickly had a fire going in her fireplace.

"True but still," Ichabod grumbled as he opened his arm for Bambi, smiling happily Bambi scooted over and snuggled into his side, as Ichabod started to undo her braids before running his hands through her curls with happy mumbled, laying on his shoulder Bambi couldn't help but be struck with how domestic this scene was and while she knew she should pull back Bambi didn't instead she snuggled closer and was quickly lulled into sleep by Ichabod playing with her curls.

After that night Ichabod never went back into his room instead of the course of the next month they grew closer, they did everything together though they mainly stayed around the house taking care of the garden, doing simple house chores before they would settle down on the couch with a book each and they wouldn't move unless to tend to Teddy or to get something to eat. When Corbin would get home they would break for a family dinner, once dinner was done the three of them would retire to the living room where they would either talk about their day or tried theories on what headless could possibly be up to or just reading before bed.

They also ended up starting a new tradition, every Monday Bambi would trim and tend to his beard before they would pack up the car and head into the city where they would return a bag a of books to the library before they would head out and play tourist in the city, they would always break at the same park with lunch where Ichabod would share any new memories he had uncovered, Bambi would help talk him through the emotions that those memories brought out, she both loved and hated those talks only because she hated to see what it did to Ichabod.

As the month progressed the small family of four started to relax, they hadn't heard of any sightings or similar killings to indicate Headless had moved onto a different city and while they all knew he was still out there they decided not to stress about where he was too much.

Even thought Bambi did relax into the domesticity that was hers and Ichabod's relationship, Bambi couldn't help but wonder when the other shoe would drop next and when it did, how bad would it be?

Hello everyone! I still exist! I am so sorry for how long it has taken me to get this chapter up and to be honest I have like the next three chapters all written I just have to go through them and edit them before posting so hopefully you will get a few chapters over the next couple of days ^_^
