After making love throughout the night and morning; me and Ben just talked aimlessly in bed. It was the perfect way to end a perfect night and unfortunately all good things had to come to an end. So after we had a lie in we both got ready to go and have a very late breakfast with my new parents-in-law.


"Here they are" Adam said as we walked into the dining room downstairs.

"The happy couple" Belle quickly added as we both took to our seats.

"Hey!" we said together happily.

"We thought you wouldn't want to be woken up; that's why we left you to it" Belle said.

"Thank you" Ben said and I nodded at this as Mrs Potts placed our cups of teas in front of me and Ben.

"So what are you two doing today?" Adam asked as Chip then brought in mine and Ben's full English breakfasts.

"Well-" I started as I looked at Ben as Chip placed our breakfasts in front of us. "We are having a date day and night" I added. "We can't really disappear off for a few days; as people might start putting two and two together" I finished as I sighed.

"Probably" Adam agreed.

"But if I am being honest Adam I'm used to the press now-" I began again. "Making rumours up about me; about mine and Ben's relationship. I don't really care what they say" I dismissed.

"That's my girl" Ben said proudly.

"Thank you, husband" I answered happily which made him chuckle.

"Looking forward to next week Mal?" Belle asked eagerly causing me to look away from Ben and over to her.

"Yes I am Belle" I confirmed. "I just can't wait to see where Ben is taking me; he won't give anything away" I stated.

"Nope" Ben said as I looked at him once more. "So don't keep asking" he teased.

"Fine" I shrugged.

"You going to give up that easy?" he asked in confusion.

"Probably not no" I winked at him and we all laughed at this. We then all went on to enjoy our first family breakfast together - which felt as perfect as I thought it would be. It felt like I had my permanent place in the world and it was even better than I thought that it would be.
