Summary: AU. Arranged marriages aren't really about whether the couple actually love each other, and in this case, they don't...to begin with. They're twenty-five years apart, but as time goes on, they actually begin to fall in love with each other. Please R&R!

Better With Time

-Chapter Fourteen: Forgiveness-

It was about four-fifteen in the morning when Crowley saw the bedroom door open, hearing a sniffle come from the person standing there who slowly entered the room. He pulled back the covers, smiling gently as Allie trudged into the room with guilt in those sparkling blue eyes.

"C'mere..." He said softly, Allie climbing into bed beside him and breaking into more tears as he pulled her into his arms, "Shhh. Don't get yourself upset..."

"I'm so sorry." She whispered, Crowley kissing her head gently.

"It's alright, don't apologise, darling." He said quietly, "I upset you too, and I'm sorry..."

The two lay silently as Allie curled up close to him, both of them sharing a gentle kiss as they looked at each other.

"I love you." She whispered, "And, no matter what my friends say, Crowley, I'm always gonna be with you. If my friends can't accept this then they aren't really friends are they?"

Crowley just kissed her in response.

"I love you so much." He told her, "I just don't want you to get hurt, sweetheart."

Allie nodded and sighed shakily, pressing her lips to her lover's again, sliding her hands up his body to cup his face as they rolled over, their lower bodies rocking together as they kissed deeply and passionately.

"As much as I'd love to, you've got to get up for school in three hours and I've got to get up for work." Crowley whispered, Allie nodding in response, "I'll tell you what...When I get home tomorrow, I'll meet you in here..."

He kissed her tenderly.

"And we'll finish what we've started..."

"Okay." Allie whispered, Crowley brushing a tear away that fell down her cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too." He whispered back, pressing a tender kiss to her cheek and then her lips before settling down with her in his arms, noticing even in the dark how tired she looked, "You've not slept have you?"

Allie shook her head and rested close to him, sighing as he kissed her tenderly and kept her held close.

"Do you forgive me?" She asked, her eyes showing how desperate she was for his forgiveness.

"Of course I do." He replied, "Do you forgive me?"

"Of course I do." Allie whispered, Crowley smiling and kissing her deeply.

They held each other close, falling asleep with Crowley above Allie, his head rested against hers while her body was warmed by his, their fingers laced together and resting on Allie's chest.

Allie smiled as she heard Crowley enter the house, knowing that soon he'd be inside her and they'd be making up in the closest way possible. She went to the mirror, checking her hair and clothes before sitting on the bed, pretending to go through her school bag as he came upstairs. But Crowley waited as he stood outside the door, taking off his tie and unbuttoning his shirt down to the third button. He entered the room, finding Allie just placing her bag on the floor and looking up with her big beautiful eyes, a stunning smile gracing her face.

"Hey, you."

Crowley smiled and closed the door, just going over to his wife and kissing her lips lovingly which earned him a soft sigh in response. The room was lit with candles as it had been the first time they'd made love and Crowley knew that the beautifully romantic side of Allie was drifting to the surface.

He knew how close they'd have to be for their make up and how much it would mean to her. He knew how much she'd need him and need to be near him, because it was always the same when she felt upset or vulnerable. He knew her so well it was like they'd been together for a lifetime and he knew he could never give her up. Not for anything or anyone.

"Love you." He told her, earning the most beautiful smile from her that he'd seen in a long time.

"I love you too."

They kissed gently, Crowley lifting her from the bed and sitting on it himself with her in his lap, Allie giggling into their next kiss as he ran his hands over her body. They'd break apart to look at one another before kissing again, and then came the time when they started to remove their clothes. Allie looked deep into his eyes, Crowley getting lost in hers as she unbuttoned her baby pink shirt slowly, letting her arms fall limp as the shirt just dropped to the floor without either of them looking anywhere else but into each other's eyes.

She tipped her head back as he began to kiss her neck and chest, her arms around him as she moved herself back to meet his lips in a sensual kiss. Their hips were moving against each other's slowly the entire time, and Allie pressed her forehead to Crowley's, keeping her eyes focussed on his as she unfastened his shirt and pushed it from his shoulders.

The rest of their clothes were gone before they knew it and Crowley soon found that he was deep inside his wife's body, her frame fitting against his like they were pieces of a jigsaw. Their lips barely left one another's as they made slow, deep, passionate love in the evening sunset, their fingers laced together and their bodies entwined in perfect fiery heat.

"God, how I love you."

Allie smiled as Crowley spoke those gentle words to her, his arms cradling her close to him. His fingers carded through her hair, her gorgeous fingers trailing down to his arm when she slid her arm under his and held his shoulder, sliding her hand up to rub the back of his neck.

"I love you too." She whispered, "Promise."

She leaned up and kissed him gently, their lips moving slowly and lovingly through their kiss. No matter what their differences were at times, they both knew that there was no breaking them. They were far too strong for that, and God help anyone who dared to tell them otherwise. When Crowley looked at Allie he didn't see that frightened girl he'd seen on their wedding night. He saw a strong, brave young woman. He saw everything that he wanted to be right there before him.

He wished he had half the bravery of her and half the strength. She wasn't afraid to speak her mind, yet there were times when he just dare not. She wasn't afraid to be truthful, yet he was. She was the most beautiful thing ever to be a part of his life and there was no way on God's green earth that he was going to lose her. No way. A gentle smile crossed Allie's lips as they looked each other, the sparkle in her eyes making something inside Crowley flutter to see.

"Crowley?" She began, Crowley humming in reply, "You remember what you asked me a few months ago about having children?"

"Yeah." Crowley replied, "Like I asked you it this morning."

"When I've left school and there's prom and graduation out of the way..." She continued, "I was wondering if on our honeymoon you wanted to try for our first."

"Our first baby?" Crowley asked, Allie nodding in response.

"I wasn't into the motherhood thing, but..."

"But what?"

Allie blushed, biting her lip gently.

"When I went shopping yesterday after school...I saw a new store in town that sells clothes for babies and small children," She said softly, "And I saw this tiny pair of knitted booties in the window."

Crowley watched as tears slowly filled her eyes, just listening to whatever she had to tell him.

"This tiny pair of pink booties." She whispered, "And I just thought of the beautiful little baby that would get to wear those. I thought of the tiny little person that would fill some of the beautiful outfits in the window and...and I didn't know it, but I was standing there with my hand on my stomach...I was rubbing my stomach as though I had my own baby growing in there."

A tear slid down her cheek, yet she smiled. She smiled beautifully and stroked her lover's face, kissing him tenderly.

"I thought of carrying my own baby, our baby, and I thought of all those times we'd spend feeling the bump and waiting for the first kick..." She continued, "The scans, decorating a nursery, actually being in the hospital when our baby would be born. I thought about a beautiful little baby that would be ours to cherish. Just our own little angel to raise and love for as long as we had breath in our bodies. And I thought about how I much I want to have children with you..."

Crowley was shocked to say the least. He didn't know how strongly she felt about having children. All it had taken was the sight of a tiny pair of knitted shoes and she'd fallen in love with the idea. Crowley wasn't getting any younger and he'd always wanted his own kids. He'd always wanted his own children to raise and to watch grow up and now, Allie was confessing how in love with the idea she was herself.

"What do you think?" She asked, "You wanna try?"

Crowley only had one word for her.

"Okay."
