BellatrixBlackLovett – Coral/ John

"James!" cried Coral as she sat on the floor with her daughter "James, come and look at this!" smiling she hugged her daughter to her before she looked down and brushed her hand over her ever so growing stomach. It had been five months. Five months since she'd told Nellie and James she was pregnant, five months since they'd moved and left Nellie, left her Nellie behind.

James came in from his office putting his glasses on his head grinning. "What is it dear?"

"Watch!" she smiled happily as she put Bella back on the floor. Gurgling, her daughter lay on her belly for a few moments before she slowly pulled herself up, crawling a few spaces before she slumped back down onto her belly again. Squealing in delight Coral scooped her giggling daughter up and kissed her all over "Oh, you clever girl."

James grinned wider going over and kissing them both fixing Bella's dress a bit. "Brilliant as her mother. She needs a new outfit. This one is getting a little bit small."

Laughing Coral gently lifted herself from the floor, her belly weighing her down a little. Oddly she was bigger than she was with Bella but naturally her skin would've stretched "Well," she smiled down at her daughter "she's not the only one." she pointed to her belly and tightly fitted dress.

"Very true. Still gorgeous though." He murmured kissing her lightly before bending over scooping up Bella. "I have some papers to take care of but you go ahead."

"Oh. I'd rather go when you're not busy, so we can go together." She smiled as she rubbed her bump "Is it me or am I bigger then what women usually are?" she muttered looking down at her stomach.

"A bit. But you go on ahead. I'll see if I can catch up with you two lovelies for lunch or something alright?" James said kissing her lightly.

Frowning at her bump she looked up and took Bella back "Well, come and find us, we'll be in the dress shop." She sighed at the fact she couldn't get into her own business, not whilst she was pregnant "Just don't overwork yourself, ok." She muttered and kissed him back.

"Yes dear." James smirked kissing her lightly patting her bum lightly and winking. "I'll be looking for the most gorgeous woman in town then."

Smirking Coral leant forward and bit gently at his bottom lip before she pulled away "Hmm, and the fattest woman in town too." She smiled before putting Bella in her pram and headed down to town, a small happy smile on her face as she walked along, the odd person coming up to ask about her growing bump. James was right, this place was just amazing.

James smiled laughing some and headed back to his office.

Nellie was already at work having found work in a dress shop and was just going out to have her break and grab a bite to eat.

Turning a group of men bundled into the dress shop, laughter breaking out between them as they happily shared a joke "Now," said one of them "I've got buy the missus a new dress to make up for last night. Oi! John come here, you know all about pretty dress and such!" laughing again John shook his head and hit his friend lightly "Oh shut up, just because you cannot work out what a lovely lady needs." He smirked before his eyes wondered over the shop and landed on Nellie, a small smile creeping on his face.

Nellie looked up after locking up the money box as she'd been told to do whenever she left the shop. "Umm. I'm sorry bu' we're closin' fer a bi'. Lunch break bu' we'll be back open aroun' noon. If ya'd like t'come back aroun' then."

John and the other man broke out laughing and pointed to the man who'd spoken first "Ah, unlucky Alex," sniggered John putting his coat down on a nearby chair "Helen will kill you, no way are you getting out of that one." Smiling he turned to Nellie and nodded "Thank you, we'll drag him back then." Leading his friends out he left his coat on the chair, smiled a little to Nellie before they headed out of the shop and down the road.

Nellie blushed some watching the man leave before noticing he'd left his coat and grabbed it hurrying out the door and fumbling with the key to lock it. "Sir? Ya lef' yer coa'!" She called hurrying after him grabbing his shoulder. "Yer coa'."

Turning John smiled down at her, her warm hand on his shoulder "Oh, I'm sorry," he said taking the coat from her "thank you very much dear." He pulled the coat on as he looked over his shoulder at his mates who wolf whistled to him and Nellie "Ah, you're just jealous because this pretty woman has taken an interest in me!" he teased to them.

Nellie laughed softly shaking her head. "Well tha's a bi' too kind o'ya bu' would ya care t'join me fer lunch?"

"Ahh! Get in there my son!" laughed some of John's mates before they quickly turned and walked off leaving him alone with Nellie. Raising his eyebrows John looked down to Nellie "Well, it's a little sudden but who am I to refuse a lovely lady?"

"Now don' go ge'in' ahead o'yerself. I's jus' lunch." She laughed blushing some heading down to a little cafe. "Besides then ya can ge' tha dress fer yer frien'."

Smirking playfully John pouted "Ahh, well I wasn't really thinking that you'd be taking me on some wild romantic date now, was I?" he laughed as he held the cafe door open "And thank you, he'll need that dress."

Nellie smiled laughing some stepping inside. "I's no' a problem. My job really. We're jus' a bi' shor' la'ely. Two o'the other girls are sick an' the owner is on bed res'. Havin' a baby soon."

"Sorry to hear that." Sighed John before he took her to a table and sat her down, pushing the chair in for her "A baby, that's lovely, though I do pity her, my sister just had one nearly killed her.." he tutted lightly before he looked up "I'm sure you're doing a great job filling in for them."

"Thank ya. An' tha's kind o'ya. Haven' been in this type o'work before bu' I can make do. No' terribly hard or nuthin'. M'Nellie by the way. Fergo' myself there. Should introduced m'self."

"John." He smiled in return "It's nice to meet you Nellie, very nice indeed. And I'm sure you're still a hard little worker who takes everything in her stride."

Nellie laughed softly shaking her head ordering a salad and soup to go with her tea. "Wha' d'you want then John?"

"Oh I'll just have a tea and bit of cake." He smiled as he ordered his food and quickly paid the waiter "My treat." He said quickly as she went to protest.

A few dresses later Coral had brought all she needed and was picking out a dress before Bella before she heard the shop bell tingle. Turning she smiled as James came up behind her "What one?" she asked him holding up and two little dresses, one off white and the other a light yellow.

"Well tha's mos' defini'ely kin' o'ya. Where do ya work roun' here then?" She asked sipping her tea smiling.

"Both." James said pecking her cheek and going to pay for them. "Lead the way to lunch now my dear. Rather hungry."

"I work in the jewellers, around ten minutes away from here. Live with my sister; have to help out, she's a little weak at the moment." said John as she stirred his tea.

"You spoil her too much, what happens when this little one comes along?" Coral teased as she lead him down the road and pointed to the same cafe Nellie and her new friend where in "How about in there?" she smiled as she rubbed her stomach.

"Oh tha's so swee' o'ya. Lucky lady she is havin' a carin' brother. I like jus' down by the sea. Go' two kids o'my own. Viole's bou' seventeen now though. Bloody girl. An' Billy. He's growin' up fas'."

"Well she needs her little brother from time to time." He laughed before he grinned "I beat their smashing children, never really thought of having my own. Seventeen? A little lady in the making then!"

Giggling Coral and James burst through the front door of the cafe, a few people turning to look at them before they went back to their tea "Shh!" she sniggered to James, Bella snuggled in her arms "We have to be quiet."

"Well she's very lucky indeed. An' yeah. She's had a lo' o'growin' up t'do really. Worries me though." Nellie said sighing some looking to the door as their food was brought gasping softly seeing Coral feeling her heart drop. "Bloody hell." She muttered looking away quickly.

James chuckled holding her waist leading them to a booth ordering water for Coral on the way. "Yes dear now come on and sit here."

"I'm sure she'll be just fine, she's got her mother looking after her, she's sure to grow up into a fine woman." He reassured before he too looked up seeing a pregnant woman, a man who had to be her husband and a small baby. Tutting he looked to Nellie as the couple laughed "Some people.."

Sitting down Coral gasped and grabbed James' hand before she placed it onto her stomach "Do you feel that?" she smiled watching his face lightly up as the baby moved around inside of her making her squeal out and kiss him full of the lips before a waiter passed her a glass of water "Thank you." She smiled before turning back to James "Ohh, what do you want it to be, and no lying, truthfully, what do you want?"

"Yeah... some people alrigh'." Nellie muttered before shaking her hed smiling over at him and starting on her soup.

James grinned holding Coral close and ordering himself a big sandwhich and a piece of steak to go with it and tea.

"Food any good?" he asked her, leaning forward a little as he began to cut his cake up with a small smile on his face.

"No!" she giggled loudly making some people tut at her, but for once in her life she didn't give a damn "Tell me what you'd like. Boy or girl, choose."

Nellie glanced back over hearing her make all that noise and sighed looking at him. "S'delicious love. Jus' wish the a'mosphere was a bi' be'er."

"Both." James teased holding her close again. "Little boy would be nice though."

"That's good to hear." He smiled before patting her hand gently "Their just a happy couple, she looks more than a little pregnant if you ask me, they're just basking in the sunlight."

"Ohh, I'd like a boy too, levels it out a bit." Coral smiled before she put her finger into some of James sauce and wiped it on his nose, making her laugh before she squealed out as he threw food at her "That's not fair!" she laughed "You're a meany!"

"I know they are." She muttered finishing her soup and quickly starting on her salad smiling some up at him squeezing his hand. "Ya really are swee' ya know."

"It was deserved Coral. Making a mess of my food." James said teasingly scolding her cutting up his steak and taking bite of his sandwhich.

Laughing John thanked her kindly before he leant back in his chair and tilted his head "I do wonder why you are not married, pretty thing like you.."

Giggling Coral quickly leant forward and grabbed some of his chopped steak before she shoved it in her mouth "What?" she said, her voice muffled by the food as he gave her a look "I just thought I'd try it out." She giggled finishing the food quickly before she rubbed her stomach again, she could never seem to get enough of the over large bump.

"I've been before. Twice. S'no' exac'ly been the bes' of experiances fer me." Nellie said shrugging and eating her salad still.

"Well you keep to your own plate missy. This steak has my name on it right now."

"Ah, I see. Well let's hope someone perfect will come along soon enough." He muttered with a little smile.

"I do love you." Sighed Coral as she kissed James and held Bella up in front of her, blowing raspberries loudly on her stomach causing her little daughter to squeal out in laughter before she set her down, passing her to James "Just need the loo love." She laughed before she got up and walked straight past Nellie, her hand lightly brushing over the chair she was sat it, her fingertip grazing her old friends back "Sorry." She muttered not bothering to look behind as she walked into the toilets, her hand rubbing her bump.

Nellie smiled some sighing. "I some how doub' tha' anymore. Jus' hope Viole' ge's a nice bloke. She's a bi' of a..." She jumped shivering looking up watching Coral before shaking her head. "A han'ful."

James nodded kissing her lightly and letting her go rocking Bella gently.

John smiled as he too watched Coral "Well, if she turns out to be anything like you then I think she's all sorted. I mean with you're pretty face and working mind she'll have taken then on board. She'll be fine, I'm sure of it. And you too, I'm sure someone will come along."

Quickly using the toilets Coral washed her hands, looking at her bump for a few moments before she went back outside, her eyes catching a woman who was also looking back at her. She frowned, she looked just like – suddenly she turned and crashed straight into a waiter who was passing with food, swearing and gripping her stomach Coral looked up seeing the mess she made "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I was miles away. I do apologies."

Nellie smiled gently looking up catching Coral's eyes before quickly looking away as she ran into the waiter. "I cer'ainly hope so. How abou' we ge' outta here? Bi'... crowded." She said getting up.

James smiled eating and playing with Bella looking up worriedly before seeing she was alright and chuckled some.

Looking round John sighed and shook his head at Coral before they went back to Nellie "Oh sure, of course, anything that you wish." He smiled as he stood up and grabbed his coat.

Biting back a grin Coral grabbed him before she frowned "I thought I just saw Nellie, properly just my mind playing up." She sighed and tugged him into a hug her eyes wondering around for that woman.

Nellie smiled some back at him already heading for the door looking back at him gasping slipping on a spilled drink hitting her head hard.

James raised an eyebrow hugging her back kissing her cheek gently smiling before looking over hearing the commotion.

"Oh my, Nellie!" gasped John before her ran over and lifted her head up to look at her "You alright?"

Whimpering Coral pulled away from James "See, I knew I was right!" she gasped before she waddled over to Nellie as fast as she could before she leant down next to her "Nellie?" she whispered "Are you ok?"

Nellie groaned holding her head slowly sitting up feeling dizzy shaking her head and looking up at John. "Le's jus' go now." She said ignoring Coral.

James sighed going over to help Coral up knowing she wouldn't be able to after going down there. "Coral come on."

Nodding John pulled her up, smiling to Coral for a few seconds before he lead Nellie out of the shop "Get some air in your lungs, make you feel better."

Frowning sadly Coral let James pull her up before she sighed "I'm tired, can we go home?" she felt like her heart had been punched through her chest, Nellie wouldn't even talk to her now.

Nellie pulled away from him shaking her head and going into the alley getting sick stumbling back a bit fighting back tears.

"Of course. You go and get Bella in her pram and I'll get this wrapped to take home and pay." James said kissing her lightly.

Frowning in worry John stood behind her and patted her back lightly "You should go home and get some rest, you must've hit your head hard." He sighed seeing her clearly upset but not sure what to do about it.

Coral quickly kissed him back before she placed her daughter into her little pram and waited a few moments for James before he lead them both out and walked down the road till they got home. "God, I feel sick." She moaned holding her stomach as they went into the living room.

Nellie wiped her mouth and shook her head. "I-I'm sorry... I didn' mean.." She shook her head crying more.

"Well that's hardly surprising. You have been for a couple months now my dear." James said laughing sitting on the couch with Bella.

"Don't cry," cooed John as he held Nellie's hand "its fine, don't you worry about it." He placed on of her arms over his shoulder and put his other arm around her waist "Let's get you home, shall we."

"Shut up James, I shouldn't be sick anymore." She rubbed her belly "I'm fucked off with all this now," she snapped her anger rising "bloody huge stomach, throwing up too much, pissing mood swings and I'm so..ughh!" she screamed before kicking at the coffee table and throwing else down onto an armchair

Nellie nodded leaning into him holding tighter almost falling feeling dizzy as she started to move. "M'sorry."

James sighed rocking Bella as she started crying from all the yelling and got up to take her up and lay her down for her nap.

"Don't you dare apologise, that wasn't your fault, it was that bloody woman's who crashed into the waiter." stated John as she slowly led her down the road.

Coral bit her lip as she watched her own husband walk past her, tears slowly rolling down her face before she held her heaving stomach and spoke lightly to it "Sometimes..." she shook her head, she couldn't say that to her unborn child "I have a feeling you're going to be a boy, your huge.."

Nellie smiled some holding onto him tighter so she wouldn't fall shutting her eyes letting him lead her. "Thank ya."

James looked back and smiled some looking at his wife before going upstairs.

"Any time." He smiled back letting her tell him the way to go before he dropped her off at the front door "Well, I'll make sure you get into bed. You need a rest."

Biting her lip Coral stood up quickly and went up after him. Smiling she watched him fuss over Bella before she sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist, her stomach pushing into his back "Sorry, I'm just ... pregnant."

"Ya really didn' have t'do any o'this ya know. Shoulda gone back t'work anyways." She said going up the stairs with his help.

"Very pregnant you mean." James whispered leading her out of the room quietly. "I'm having the doctor sent for. Your rather large for only so far along."

Shaking his head John held gently onto her before they tugged into her bedroom "Don't be silly, Nellie. You just get some rest."

Looking up Coral shook her head "I don't like doctors! I'm not letting one anywhere near me!" she looked down at her bump and frowned "It's fine. Maybe I'm just alot further on then we first thought."

Nellie bit her lip carefully sitting down on her bed looking up at him. "Thank ya though. Fer all this. Shouldn' be pu'in' people I jus' me' in positions like this."

"Coral. You have to be looked at. Have to make sure everything is going alright."

"I'm more than happy to help." He smiled gently patting her shoulder "Now, get into bed and rest. I'm afraid I have to go, find the lads before they run off without me. But please, sleep."

"I'm fine, just a little big that's all, just means a bigger baby." She knew she wouldn't win against him but it was more than worth a try.

Nellie nodded before standing up hesitantly and hugging him, kissing him. "Really. Thank ya."

"We have to do it for the baby. Make sure it's healthy and all that Coral. You know that."

Pulling back a little John blushed and nodded to her "Ermm... anytime. Nice to meet you, Nellie." He smiled and backed out from the room.

"B-but.." she looked up to him before his hands fell onto her stomach that made her heart race "I'll never forgive you for this." She muttered looking down once more "Fine. I'll do it. For the baby and you."

Nellie laid down in bed and curled up on her side crying.

"You'll never forgive me for what? Taking care of my family?"

Sighing John heard her through the door as he closed it. He meant to go back in but he couldn't just run back to her side, he barely knew her and she really needed some rest. Biting his lip he turned, letting himself out of her house before he tugged back into town in an attempt to find his friends.

"No, for making me see a Doctor, I hate them with all my heart. I get faint and scared." Coral muttered rubbing her bump gently.

She eventually cried herself to sleep holding her pillow tight now very wet in tears.

"It's to keep you safe Coral. You have to. I'm not losing you now." James said firmly ordering the butler to fetch the doctor.

"But you're not going to lose me!" she said stamping her foot a little "I'm fine, just because I'm a little bigger then I was with Bella doesn't mean I'm ill."

"You don't know that for sure dearest. Something could be wrong. That's why we need the doctor."

"Fine." She scoffed before she moved into the living room and slumped onto the sofa, her arms crossed over her chest before what seemed only minutes later the door was knocked on and a doctor was shown inside.

"Hello Ma'am. I was wondering if you could lie back for me? Just wish to make sure everything is running smoothly. How far along are you again?"

"No!" she snapped to the Doctor before she caught James' eyes and quickly lay down on the sofa "Around four.. five months.."

"That's all?" The doctor asked sceptically raising an eyebrow.

Rising her head she looked from James to the before she frowned, worry crossing over her face "Y-yes. Why, is something wrong?"

"You just don't look it." He said pushing her skirts up and checking her out. "Ah. Why didn't you tell me?"

Frowning Coral whimpered and bit her lip "What are you on about? Is something wrong? Have I done something?"

"Oh no my dear. You are all doing just fine. Though I want to come back next month. You may need to go on bed rest."

Sitting up Coral rolled her eyes "Why? What's the matter? Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"

"No it's just that with most women carrying twins they come early."

Gasping Coral's eyes widened and she looked to James "Twins?" she croaked sitting up a little "I.. but..I thought it was one."

"No ma'am. Definitely two in there."

"T-twins... Two.. two of them in her. Twins?" He said in shock before passing out.

"Oh bloody hell." She muttered looking at James as the doctor went over to him and woke him after a few moments. Sliding off the sofa she looked at her husband "James, we're having twins." She smiled lightly before she turned to the doctor "When you mean we come early... how early?"

"A month or so generally. So you'll be around eight months."

"Well, just like Bella then." She sighed before she leant down and kissed his lips "Twins. Twins. Why do I suddenly feel sick?" she laughed and hugged her husband.

James hugged her back in a daze still in shock about it all. "T-twins..."

"Let's get you on the sofa shall we?" she smiled and tugged him up with the help of the Doctors before he was placed on the couch "I heard," she whispered looking to the doctor "that woman... twins... the mothers they ... can.. die."

"It's happened before Ma'am. I won't deny it. But I'll take excellent care of you. Haven't had any mother's of twins go on me yet."

Nodding slowly she breathed a little heavily before she stroked James' head "What about the birth? I mean I struggled with Bella... two of them.."

"Don't worry ma'am. I get the latest supplies and things. You are in good hands. I can assure you of that."

Nodding once more Coral rubbed her head and sat herself next to James as he lay near to her "So, how long would you say I have? I cannot cope with the bump forever," she sighed and looked down "it's so big already."

"Like I said, It'll be sooner then you think, around eight months." He smiled patting Corals back before a bulter lead him to the door.

Waving the doctors goodbye Coral sighed and looked down at James and smiled "Two beautiful babies."

Gasping Coral leant over holding onto her stomach before she heard a splash of water "Oh god no. Not while James is out.." she whimpered, her waters had broke, she was in labour and oddly it felt stronger then compared to Bella. Crawling onto her bed she screamed out as pain hit her "Oh stop!" she cried before she lay on her back for hours before it was all too much. Rolling her skirts up and pushing her undergarments down she gripped the headboard and pushed and pushed, screams erupting from her mouth, sweat pouring from her forehead and blood and fluids seeping into her bed sheets "James where are you?" she sobbed before pushing once more, a gasp leaving her mouth as she felt something slide from her body. Raising her head a little she found a little baby, a little girl between her legs. "A girl." She whispered before her hips bucked a pain pushed through her stomach again. "James!" she screamed as she pushed once more, her cries blocking put the sound of the door opening and the scared voice calling out to her.

"Coral?" James yelled droppin the flowers he'd gotten for her running up the stairs and gasping looking in. "I- you..." His eyes widened before he ran over and wrapping the little girl in a blanket cutting her cord.

"Just get it out!" she screamed to her husband, tears streaming down her cheeks and blood seeping from between her legs as she pushed once more, a cry leaving her mouth as she done so "I-I can't do this.." she sobbed her head falling back "I .. I.. can't."

JAmes held his daughter trembling looking back at Coral shaking his head. "You can. You have to!" He gently laid the fussing little girl down and went back to Coral muttering things. "N-now push! Yeah push!"

"No, I-I can't!" Sobbed Coral as blood pouring down her legs, sweat stuck to her head and her whole body trembled. Her head rolled back, she was fading, fast. "James. Don't leave me!" she whimpered lulling in and out of conciseness.

James' eyes widened looking up at her and gripped her knees tightly leaning up over her. "Coral! You listen to me! You are going to push! You are going to have this baby! You are not going to pass out! Do you understand me?"

"I can't." She whispered, her eyes closing "It hurts. I can't." Her legs trembled under his grip before pain flashed through her making her cry and scream out. "James! Just get it out, I can't push!" she sobbed gripping his hands tightly.

"Coral! Push! Now! You push damnit! You have to!" James yelled desperately not wanting her to see how terrified he was.

Screaming Coral pushed but it didn't seem to be enough, she was sure that she was slowly dying. "James.." she panted shutting her eyes tighter before she pushed again and again. "I-I.. I'm sorry," she sobbed lightly her head falling to one side, her chest heaving "I can't hold.. on..."

James sighed as on the last push the baby came out far enough and he was able to pull it the rest of the way out and did the same for the little boy as he did with the girl. "You stay here alright? I'm going to fetch the doctor. Just please stay Coral."

Sobbing she rolled her head back, the weakness taking over her body. She heard muffled words before she shut her eyes, she felt so weak.

James hesitated looking at her before shaking his head and running out coming back shortly with the doctor. He quickly checked over the babies before letting his nurses clean them up as he went to sort out Coral. "Coral? Can you hear me?"

Groaning Coral whimpered before one of her weak hands gripped James, she barely had enough energy to hold onto her own husband let alone talk to him. She wanted to see her children but her eyes wouldn't open. She stunk, dry blood and sweat stuck to her legs and forehead making her feel sick..weak.

"Coral I need you to answer me. You have to stay with us." He said cleaning her up and taking care of a few things down there.

Whimpering she felt his hands brushing over her legs "Don't," she whispered a little too lightly a little as pain still shot threw her "touch." Her eyes opened a little before they dropped back shut again. God she felt so drained, she didn't want to move ever again.

"I have to ma'am. I have to get you all fixed up and everything. I have to make sure you are healthy again." He said gently sewing where she'd ripped and cleaning her more.

"James?" She groaned out as she placed her arms out trying to pull him closer to her "Oww." She whimpered as a needle pushed threw her lower half.

James leaned her up and moved behind her wrapping his arms around her, holding her close.

She sobbed lightly against his chest, her weak arms holding him close "A-are they ok?" she whispered her eyes lightly opening.

"Of course they are dear. You did magnificently." James said kissing her cheek.

Shaking her head she whimpered "No, I didn't. I could've," she groaned feeling pain once more "hurt them.."

"Hush. You did wonderfully. They are just fine." James said kissing her head and slipping out from under her to assist the doctor as they changed the bed and Coral's clothes.

Letting her head roll back once more she shivered as the men touched her and pulled at her clothing. She could hear little cry from her babies as they moaned for their mother, needing her like she needed them. "James, I want to see.." she shut her eyes weakly again "..them."

"No dear. You need to rest. They will be fine. Just hungry. The doctor gave me some formula to mis up. You just need to rest."

"I want to see my children!" she lightly screamed before she rubbed her head, another groan escaping her mouth "Now."

James sighed and helped her sit up gently and brought the little girl over first. "Here's the girl. She's oldest."

Smiling weakly Coral put a shaky finger on her daughters cheek "She's beautiful." She whispered leaning a little closer to her daughter before a grin broke out on her face.

"Just like her mother." He said smiling before she started crying again and moved away to get her brother instead.

"Sounds like her too." She teased lightly. She felt so sick, so in need of rest but she ached to see her lovely new children. Looking up she watched James come back with another child "A boy?" she muttered looking down at her son "A boy." She smiled and leant against James "Handsome, just like his daddy. You name him.."

James smiled some shaking his head. "I don't know... Christopher? How does that sound? What about the girl?" He asked getting up to lay him bck beside his sister as he started crying too.

"Sound's perfect." She whispered laying back down, the sound of their screams seeming heavenly to her "The girl?" she thought for a moment before biting her lip "Nellie." She shut her eyes at his expression "Nellie Lily Carter."

"No. No we are not naming our little girl after /her/. We can't. I refuse this." HE said trying to hush them both.

"Too bad, that's her name. I carried her for months on end," she muttered weakly, her voice straining "I just gave birth to her, that's what she'll be called." She turned on her side, whimpering at a little of that pain before she gripped a pillow lightly.

James sighed and picked up his son again rocking him gently and shaking his head walking away from his daughter.

Frowning Coral looked at him "What was that face for?" she snapped as he rocked their son "How just gave your own daughter the filthiest look I've ever seen!" She couldn't care how weak or ill she felt there was no way she'd let him do that to her new born children.

"I don't know what your talking about. I'm going to go down and make him a bottle." James said going out.

Coral watched him go before her eyes drifted to her daughter, tears welling in them. Slowly she slid off the bed and placed her feet onto the floor, she yelped a little as pain flooded her body but at that moment she wanted her daughter, her Nellie. Slowly and painfully she walked across the room before she leant over her daughter "Sorry love. You fathers just a shit some times." She muttered before she scooped her daughter up, her heart beating as she held such a tiny brown eyed baby in her hands. Smiling she slowly walked back onto the bed and cuddled up next to her daughter, a finger running over her cheek "My beautiful Nellie. Stunning."

James came back up after a bit feeding Chris and shook his head looking over at Coral. "You shouldn't be getting out of bed." He muttered sitting in the chair not looking at his daughter.

"Do I care?" she muttered angrily "I was checking on my daughter." She curled up closer to Nellie, a small smile crawling onto her face as she breathed in that new born baby smell.

He scoffed shaking his head. "Her name is not Nellie."

"It is." She stated pulling her daughter nearer before she looked to James "Give me him, please." She muttered.

"No. I'm feeding him. He's hungry." James said shaking his head looking back down at his son.

"Give me my baby, now." She hissed feeling her motherly side come out "Or else."

"I am feeding him. Do what you want with her." He said waving to the girl.

"Give me my fucking son now!" she screamed her voice breaking a little. Her eyes glared at him and her lose hair flung about "And she's got a name, so use it. Now I want my son, so give him to me!"

"I'm not giving him to you. Especially if your gonna be yelling about like that. I don't trust you with him while you're like this."

Snarling Coral sat up more, tears of anger in her eyes "Don't you dare. Let me have my son. My son who I've just carried around for months on end and just had to push out of me, don't tell me when I can or cannot have him." She snarled gripping the bed sheets.

James shook his head pulling the bottle out noticing Chris had fallen asleep and got up. "No. I don't like him around you. You're acting ridiculous."

Letting tears roll down her cheek Coral began to move to get up "Let me have him James, give him to me!" she sobbed lightly trying to get off the bed to her son.

"Coral! Lay back down! You are in no condition to be moving! Now take care of her! She's shrieking! Gonna wake him up!" He yelled before going out slamming the door behind him.

"Give him back!" she screamed as the door slammed "Give me my son! Give me my baby now!" she sobbed as she tried to pull herself from her bed "James! I want my son, give him to me!" turning her head she looked down at her daughter, her little baby as she cried before she brushed back her tears and pulled her closer, hushing her lightly.

James ignored her cries going into one of the guest rooms and sitting down holding his son gently.

Nellie woke up from one of her light naps and sighed. The image of Coral's face burned into her head making her heart feel heavy, a little lost without her old friend. She fixed herself up and headed out eventually finding herself at the big house knocking hesitantly.

"I want him." Coral sobbed lightly as she clung onto her little Nellie, Nell, in her arms. Her heart felt torn up, she felt sick, in pain, all she wanted was her son in her arms. Sobbing louder she found herself looking up to be greeted by Nellie's face. "I-I.." she looked up, tears streaming down her face as her blood surged through her veins at the site of her pale angel.

Nellie frowned when there was no answer but heard a baby screaming and let herself in going upstairs and finding Coral in bed holding a little baby. "Oh Coral..."

Shaking her head Coral looked down once more, light tears now rolling down her face as she calmed a little. Holding her new born daughter closer she smiled a little taking in the little cute face before more tears spilled down her cheek.

Nellie sighed looking down. "I didn' mean t'do tha'. A' the restraun'. I-I's jus' hard. Seein' ya happy like tha'."

"Just," Coral whispered weakly forgetting that Nellie had no idea what she was on about, Nellie didn't even know she was expecting twins "get him for me." She looked pleadingly up "Please?"

Nellie frowned before she started biting her lip. "Figured he'd be here. Wha' with the b-baby an' all... Where's he a' then?"

"He's got Christopher." She sobbed lightly into her daughter's blanket "J-just get him away from that man, I don't want him anywhere near him. Ever again!"

"Christopher? Who the bloody hell is Christopher?" She exclaimed thinking it was another man. "Don' ask me t'go ge' some other bloke fer ya. I can' believe ya'd even ask somethin' like tha'!"

Looking up Coral whimpered lightly before she shook her head and began to cry once more "I'd never... he's my son! James took him, just because.." she cut herself off and looked down "J-just get my baby. Please Nellie, I haven't even held him in my own arms yet! I want my baby boy."

"Y-yer... a boy... ya had twins? W-when did ya have 'em Coral? Ya looked huge when I saw ya las'..."

"Yes. I had twins. That explains the big belly." Whispered Coral, her eyes now stinging "And I had them about, half an hour ago. I just want him Nellie, now. James hasn't even looked at his daughter yet. He's disgusted by her. Just get him, I beg you."

"Bloody hell Coral...Jus' now...Why would he be disgusted by her? She's his daugh'er. Isn' she?"

She nodded lightly and breathed in wanting nothing more than her son in her arms "He's disgusted by her because I named her Nellie." She looked up to her friend before she dropped her head once again feeling the energy seep from her achy body.

Nellie looked down taking a shaky breath. "M'sorry. Y-ya shouldn' have done tha' lo-Coral. I'll go an' ge' him fer ya love."

"I wanted to," she muttered rocking her little Nellie in her arms "you're still special to me, no matter what." She smiled weakly before she thanked Nellie "J-just don't let him near James; I don't want him anywhere near them, ever again."

She didn't say anything eventually coming back with the baby after lots of yelling and screaming and smashing. "He's asleep." She whispered handing him over to her.

Crying harder Coral swept up her little boy in her spare arm and hugged him close to her chest before she left out a sigh of relief, her body trembling slightly. "Thank you." She chocked up to Nellie, tears of happiness in her eyes "You're too good to me." She smiled and kissed her children's head before she laughed lightly "Twin's. Who'd of thought it? God, I'm never having another two in one go, ever again."

Nellie looked away before stepping back. "I jus' came t'apologize abou' tha'. Ya didn' do anythin' t'deserve i'. M'jus' gonna see myself ou'." She mumbled turning away.

"Nellie," Coral weakly called "don't go. Stay with me, please, I don't want him coming near them." She shuddered lightly and closed her eyes "I'm so tired, but I cannot sleep knowing he could just come in and take them.. him." She sighed heavily before opening her eyes once more, a weak smile on her face "Besides, you haven't even held them yet. Don't you want to hold a little you?"

Nellie shook her head not turning back. "I can'. M-m'sorry. I jus' can' do this Coral. I can'. I wish I could jus' ac' like yer only a frien'. No' wan' anymore than tha' bu' I can'. I can' preten' m'no' jealous. As pathe'ic as tha' is I am. I would love t'have another... I jus' can' stay." She said shaking her head going out.

"No, come back." Whispered Coral, a tear rolling down her cheek before she shook her head and looked down at her two new children "Welcome to my world." She muttered before she lay them gently down and curled close to them, her eyes slowly closing as she fell asleep. Gasping Coral screamed, causing her two children to cry out before she felt a pair of hands grab her, shaking her trying to wake her. Snapping her eyes open she found James peering down at her, worry on his face. Whimpering Coral shook her head and began to cry. Dreams, how she hated them, she'd dreamt Nellie and James had ran off with her children and just left her there with nothing, not a scrap of clothing, money, nothing. "No." She sobbed pulling back from James, now feeling a little scared of her own husband being close to her or her children and her mind still lightly in her dream "No!"

James sighed sitting on her bed rubbing her leg gently. "Coral. Please listen to me. I didn't mean any of it. I don't know what came over me. I was just panicking. I mean you were having the babies and you just kept bleeding and I was worried sick. And then you named her after that woman. I-I just don't want to lose you to her Coral. That's why I don't like the name. It's her."

"You left me!" she sobbed quickly moving her to him, her body shaking violently "You took my babies." She sobbed lightly into his knee for a good few minutes before she pulled back and shook her head as she finally took in his words "James, you scared me. I-I thought you were going to pass out or something; I'm never having twins ever. It hurts." She muttered before sighing "I named my daughter after Nellie because that woman has done so much for me, I-I wanted to make her a little real in my life. She's gone now. She's made up her mind."

"But what about you Coral? Have you made up your mind? Or do you still want her back? I just don't know anymore Coral. I love you. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do."

She thought for a moment, of course she wanted Nellie but it wasn't going to happen. Slowly she shook her head "No," she croaked as if her body didn't want her to bring the words to her lips "I-I don't want her back. There's nothing for us." She wiped her eyes and pulled back before she scooped Christopher into her arms tightly still a little cautious of James being near him and then moved to place little Nellie on the bed in front of her as she lightly hushed them, her body and mind still taking on the impact of the dream.

James nodded and smiled some looking down at his daughter before leaning down and picking her up. "She is cute..."

Quickly Coral snapped her eyes to her daughter meaning to grab her back from him before she sighed and rubbed Christopher's back "Yes," she agreed with a small smile "she's got her daddy's eyes." Happiness washed over her as Coral and her husband could finally celebrate the birth of their two little children, like a proper family. Holding her son closer she carefully, and painfully moved closer to her husband as he cooed down at her daughter, a smile on her face "I have a feeling she'll have you wrapped around her little finger."

"She'll take after her mother then won't she?" James murmured kissing his daughter's head lightly stroking her cheek as she fell to sleep.

Opening her mouth Coral scoffed "I so don't not have you wrapped around my little finger that's mean!" she giggled and poked her tongue out at him before she leant her head against his shoulder and kissed his arm lightly. Smiling happily she rocked her son in her arms, he was smaller than his sister and a little weaker "I feel bad," Whispered Coral as she watched her tired son "I kept him in there all that time. I-I could've really hurt him."

"Ahh but you do Coral. And you know it. I would do anything you say, give you anything you ask for. And you haven't done anything wrong Coral. They do that with twins."

"I don't want anything. And you know that. Just as long as I have my three children and my husband I'm perfectly content." She smiled and leant deeper into him "Is Bella ok with the nanny? I don't like her being without me for long. Maybe we'll show her these two tomorrow?" she shut her eyes lightly and gripped her son to her chest "She's close to walking soon. I know it. She's grows too quick. I want to keep my little princess the way she is."

James smiled holding her closer and leaning back against the headboard. "Bella is fine. A little mischief maker but just fine."

"She's always a little mischief maker." Coral croaked lightly as she leant back with James and nuzzled up to his chest, her eyes wandering from her son and daughter "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. You just scared me.."

"We both overreacted Coral. We both said things we didn't mean. It's just been a long and trying day. But in the end it was worth it. We have two of the most amazing children now along with Bella. Growing like a weed still." James chuckled kissing her forehead.

She nodded lightly in agreement before she looked up to him, a small weak smile on her face "Can we stop at the three? I really do think another will kill me."

"Anything you want Coral. Anything. Three is more than enough for me. I would do whatever you want. You know that dearest." James said kissing her head.

"Hmm, you're too kind." She smiled and gently kissed his cheek "I'm sorry." She whispered again "I love you. I really do. All four of you."

He smiled nodding. "Just rest now Coral. You just rest with them. See? They are sleeping peacefully. Now go on ahead and join them."

"Just what I need." She mumbled before letting a yawn escape her mouth. Quickly she kissed her husband, son and daughter before she lay Nellie between herself and James and let her eyes shut, her fingers still gripping desperately to her husbands shirt.

It had been nearly a two months and they hd all fallen into a bit of an order dealing with the two extra little ones to take care of. James woke up early and kissed Coral's cheek before getting up and dressing himself to go out for the day.

Groaning Coral rolled over to her left before her eyes snapped open and a smile crept across her face as she was greeted with the sight of her two beautiful children in their cot beside her bed. Leaning over from her bed and dangled her fingers in front of both of them before she pulled herself from under the covers and leant over the cot "How are my two little sweethearts this morning then?" she beamed kissing their heads lightly.

James grinned looking in with her. "They seem smashing dear. Now I'm off alright? I'll be back a little later." He said kissing her again and the babies before going out.

"Just don't go overworking yourself! I need you alive!" she called to her husband before the door shut. Shaking her head lightly she bent over the cot once more "Now, what shall we do with you two today?" she thought for a moment before she scooped them both up, fed, washed and clothed them "How about, we go for a little walk to the beach? We'll bring Bella. Talk of the devil I'll go and get her." She smiled and turned before coming back with Bella, who now seemed bigger than ever and could now happily crawl about "Here she is." She cooed leaning her daughter over the cot.

Nellie bit her lip smoothing out her dress and holding the presents she had with her, glancing down at the newly placed ring on her own finger she took a deep breath and rang the bell knocking on the door.

"Oh bloody hell." Muttered Coral turning quickly before she thumbed where to place Bella "Alice?" she called to her nanny who ran over "Can you just keep an eye on Chris while I take these two?" the nanny nodded and Coral quickly thanked her before she scooped little Nellie in her other hand and made her way down stairs "Now," she muttered to her two daughters "no screaming, its bad manners." She smiled before clumsily opened the door, her eyes snapping open to see Nellie before she gulped and held her daughters closer "Oh, Nellie. W-what are you doing here?" she stammered before she looked down to Bella who was pointing at something that had caught her attention making her gurgle and laugh "Shh you! Little monkey." laughed Coral before she looked back to Nellie.

Nellie looked up smiling seeing Coral. "I came t'see ya. I brough' somethin's. I's nuthin' really. Made 'em myself." She murmured holding up the dress for Bella and the two winter blankets for the babies. "I jus' figured since i' will be ge'in' cold soon i' could help... Though ya probably already have some. Be'er. I mean he can afford be'er. M'sorry. I should go. I-I shouldn' have come..." She said looking down turning to go.

Rolling her eyes Coral tutted lightly "Why do you always do that? You always go to walk away, I'm not forcing you away so come in." She said moving to one side to let Nellie in before she smiled at the items in Nellie's hand "And, thank you, their lovely. You've done yourself proud; they'll be put to good use."

Nellie stepped in smiling and stepping closer to her. "Ya look beau'iful." She said softly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear stroking her cheek. "Amazin' mother t'those three no doub'."

Blushing Coral pulled back lightly remembering that Nellie said she couldn't carry on with their relationship and that she was now married to James "I look a state; these lot know how to keep me on their feet. Mostly Bella, now she's crawling everything seems to faze her." She shook her head lightly with a smile and showed the way upstairs and into the living room before Alice brought Chris over and placed Bella onto the floor for Coral "Oh, Bella. Don't touch that." She muttered as her daughter crawled over and began to pull at the table cloth "Bloody child." She sighed as Alice pulled her away and put her at Coral's feet "You're a star Alice, I don't know what I'd do without you." She beamed up to the nurse who blushed and nodded.

"I's a lovely house ya foun'. Wouldn' expec' ya in anythin' less though." Nellie said smiling looking back to Coral and watching the nanny come in and watched the two of them frowning some. "I don' suppose ya have anythin' t'drink do ya?"

Looking up from Bella Coral smiled and looked to Alice who quickly went off and came back with a bottle of wine "Now, this was meant for James, but I think me and you can manage." She smiled and rocked her twins as Alice passed a glass to Nellie "I'll have a little one later, thanks Alice."

Nellie to the glass setting the things on the table sipping at the wine. "She's go'en so big. Looks more an' more like her mum too." She murmured scooping up Bella setting her on her lap.

"She is a darling. I don't know where I'd be without her, she seems to make me laugh each and every day." Coral smiled before she looked down "Chris is like his father, laid back and go's along with anything. Little Nellie," she looked up "she's just like the woman I named her after. Heart of gold, with just a little bit of attitude."

Nellie stared at her before taking a breath and sipping at more of her wine. "Mmm. Le's jus' hope she turns ou' be'er." She murmured bouncing Bella some. She looked over watching Alice go out to do something. "Wha's with her?"

Rolling her eyes Coral moved and put her twins into a small spare cot in the corner of the room "Nellie, don't say such a thing, you're lovely." She muttered before looking over her shoulder and she leant over the cot "Alice? She's our nanny; James hired her after I gave birth. I could hardly stand let alone look after them. She's come in handy."

"Is tha' all she comes in handy fer? Jus' them? Or you too?" She said before she could stop herself pulling her hair free from Bella's grasp and drinking more. "Looks more than comfy with her job."

Gasping Coral turned from the cot "Excuse me? What kind of question is that!" she snapped before she rubbed her head "If you're going to play these stupid games then you might as well just go, I'm not having this anymore. I'm with James, I love James, and I'm his wife. I belong to him. I'm his." She hissed the last words before she felt a little guiltly and slumped back into her chair.

Nellie sighed looking down getting up setting Bella on the bed. "I didn' come here t'upse' ya. I'll jus' go. I know yer his. If ya think I can ever ferge' tha' well... jus' ferge' i'. M'goin'." She murmured picking up the blankets and the dress heading for the door.

Shaking her head Coral quickly got up and grabbed Nellie, her face leaning into hers before she breathed heavily and lightly pulled back. She meant to kiss her, meant to wrap her arms around her but something made her back away, she was scared, she didn't want more heart break for either of them "Just stay, please. I didn't mean that, I apologize."

She gasped softly as Coral pulled her back and shut her eyes thinking she was going to kiss her before opening them letting out a shaky breath and blushing looking away. "Nuthin' t'apologize fer. Yer righ'. I's none o'my business. Wha' ya do is yer own. Shouldn' have implied ya'd ever betray yer husban'. No' even my place t'sugges' such a thin'. I should go anyways. Don' know why I came in the firs' place. I-I jus'... I miss ya."

Gripping Nellie's wrists tighter Coral shut her eyes and looked down, a sigh leaving her lips "And you don't think I miss you too?" she looked up and shook her head, a tear rolling down her face, she couldn't help but notice that she always cried when Nellie was around her "I mean, in that cafe I just wanted to run over and hug you close.." she trailed off and leant her face closer to Nellie's, her breathing a little heavy "I never, ever meant to upset you. Ever."

Nellie bit her lip looking down as tears stung her own eyes. "I-I miss ya so much." She whispered looking down. "I-I came here t'tell ya somethin'. M'ge'in' married." She murmured shutting her eyes biting her lip harder holding up her hand.

Coral's eyes widened and she dropped Nellie's wrists before she stepped back a little, tears now pouring thicker down her cheek "Well," she whispered lightly "I-I... congratulations." She turned and wiped her tears away before she shut her eyes and wrapped her arms around her waist "I hope he's nice."

Nellie looked up sadly and stepped closer turning Coral around wrapping her arms around her. "Y-ya can' be upse'. No' you. Ya did the same thin'." she murmured holding her tighter as her own tears streamed down her cheek.

Whimpering Coral buried her face into Nellie's neck, letting out harsh sobs "Why did I ever get us into this mess Nellie?" she croaked as she held Nellie tightly to her shaking body "I'm sorry."

Nellie held her tighter crying with her sniffling. "I wouldn' trade i' fer the world Coral." she whispered holding the back of her head. "No' a thin'. I' was the happies' I've ever fel'. I-I've never had anybody. No' really."

"You had me," muttered Coral as she pulled back and brushed Nellie's tears away "for the most part." She looked to Nellie's lips before she moved closer, her fingers trailing over her cheek and lips before she placed her forehead against Nellie's and sighed lightly, her eyes shutting as she felt the same love, the same want seeping back into her body.

"Ya still mean the world t'me Coral... don' ever doub' tha'. Please. Ya do. I love ya. Doub' I'll ever stop really." Nellie murmured wiping Coral's tears away before tilting her head kissing her, unable to stop herself anymore. She'd wanted to ever since coral opened the door.

"But.." she sighed before Nellie's lips locked onto hers causing a small moan to escape her mouth "And you know," she muttered through their kiss "that I still love you." Slowly her hand trailed up Nellie's thigh and landed on her hip, their kiss deepening, their breathing increasing, the memories coming back.

Nellie moaned softly into her mouth pulling her closer holding onto her tighter kissing her harder biting at her bottom lip grabbing at her backside, squeezing.

"Nellie.." Coral whispered crushing her lips harder against her friends. She meant to tell her to stop, meant to tell her that they were married; that Nellie was someone else's but once again she melted for the touch of such soft hands on her body and the rose lips against her mouth. A groan fell from her mouth as Nellie's hands squeezed her arse and teeth tugged at her lip making Coral push against Nellie's body.

"I love ya Coral." She whispered starting to unlace her dress desperate to touch her skin again, to feel her warm body and taste her once more. "So much..."

"A-and I love you too." She whispered, her eyes snapping shut as Nellie undressed her. She didn't want to be touched after only two months of recovering from childbirth. James had tried it on but it ended with Coral in alot of pain. She felt ugly, her figure wasn't what it used to be and she hurt badly where she'd torn but she wanted Nellie just as much, to feel her hands running all over her body, to feel her teeth tugging at her nipples, to feel her fingers sliding in and out of her. The thought alone made her groan, making her more turned on.

Nellie leaned into her more slowly tugging her dress down rubbing her back. "Oh bloody hell Coral...we probably shouldn'. H-how longs i' been now? Wouldn' i' hur'?"

Tugging Nellie closer Coral backed up to the sofa with her. Yes, it would hurt but she needed Nellie, right now. "Just do it," she whispered, lust oozing from her mouth "now, please. I don't care. I just want you." Her hands held over her stomach, not wanting Nellie to see the marks, the stress that had be placed upon it whilst it healed "Please."

Nellie fell over top of her smiling and kissing her more slowly pulling the dress the rest of the way off tossing it and rubbing her sides unlacing her corset. "I can' tell ya how many times I've dream' this. Touchin' ya again... lovin' ya again...tastin' ya again."

Kissing her back Coral gripped Nellie's shoulders and arched off the sofa pushing their hips together. She couldn't really remember the last time she'd felt such a want, for anyone. God, she wanted to scream out in pleasure, wanted to explode around Nellie's fingers. It made her soak her thighs at such thoughts. Looking up she panted and watched Nellie's hands closely "Mmm, so do it already. God, fuck me. I want to drench your fingers, oh God!" Her eyes rolled shut as the pleasure grew deeper and stronger between her thighs.

Nellie gasped softly pushing her hips back against Coral's tossing her corset away kissing down along her neck kneading her breasts gently. "Oh Coral... mmm... so bloody perfec' love."

Shutting her eyes Coral whimpered "Just go gently." She muttered as Nellie teased her pale breasts causing a moan to leave her mouth no matter what she felt, just the thought made her grip Nellie's hips and push them down onto hers making little shivers rip through her body.

Nellie groaned rubbing against her more. "Oh fuck Coral...yer gonna be the death o'me." she murmured kissing down along her chest swirling her tongue around her nipple. "Yer beau'iful love."

Moaning loudly Coral cupped her hands other her mouth "Alice." She whispered putting her finger to Nellie's lips before she let her head roll back and her hips rolling against her friends "Nellie! Nellie, oh bloody hell!" she moaned lightly her mouth opening as that hot tongue rolled over her beloved breasts, making her shake under the pressure and lust.

"She likes ya." Nellie murmured biting lightly sucking harder moaning and gasping softly as her mouth filled up swallowing pulling back panting licking her lips. "She does."

"Shut up Nellie, she doesn't!" gasped Coral her back arching up before she couldn't take the pleasure, the waiting and the pressure "Nellie, please. Now!"

"She blushed when ya called her a star an' said ya don' know wha' ya'd do withou' her. She likes ya." Nellie repeated kissing her slowly pullng down her knickers.

"No she doesn't." Hissed Coral her legs widening as the knickers slid off "She's no more than a girl. She likes the compliments, she's not used to it. Came from a bad background, James got her away from it all.."

"M'tellin' ya wha' I see." She murmured kissing down along her stomach slowly rubbing her thighs.

"And I'm telling you," gasped Coral, a moan bursting from her mouth "that you're wrong. Oh God!" Her body shook, her legs opened wider as she waited for the pleasure, for the mindless moaning and screaming, waited for the pain that would rip her up.

"Hush. Yer gonna make her come in here." She hissed biting lightly kissing along her hip sucking gently.

Her hands gripped the sofa tightly, her nails digging deep into the material before she whimpered "Oh, Nellie, please just have me already. I cannot stand all this pressure. Please, I'm begging you."

She held her tighter kissing her hip more. "Oh... I love ya." She murmured leaning down gently licking up her slit wanting to be careful with her.

Gasping Coral shut her eyes tight as pain slashed through her body "Ow! Nellie, gentle." She shuddered pushing slightly nearer to the hot, wanting tongue.

"Coral..." Nellie bit her lip unsure of whether or not to continue shuddering feeling her own knickers get even wetter. "I don' know..."

Shaking her head Coral put one of her legs over Nellie's shoulder "P-please. I need you, oh fuck, I really need you, Nellie! Do it."

Nellie groaned softly leaning in inhaling the intoxicating scent and squirming some. "Damni'." She muttered slowly licking her again rubbing her thighs.

"Now!" begged Coral as fluids poured from her, dripping down her thighs and onto the sofa "Oh god, please. I-I can't hold on for any longer!"

Nellie moaned into her continuing slowly gently pushing her tongue into her holding her thighs tighter.

Gasping Coral let out a small scream as pain shot through her, made her inners burn. Her hands gripped Nellie's shoulders before tears rolled down her cheek "Just wait a second!" she panted, her eyes shutting tight.

Nellie shook her head pulling back licking her lips. "I can'. I can' do this love. I's killin' ya." She said upset that she'd hurt her Coral. "M'sorry love."

Whimpering Coral opened her eyes and looked to Nellie "Please?" she whispered tugging Nellie's closer to her heaving form, the form that wanted her so badly.

"Coral... i's hur'in' ya. I ha'e this. I don' wanna hur' ya." She murmured letting herself be tugged close kissing her thigh.

"I don't care!" she almost sobbed in the need of wanting Nellie "I just want you, I don't care if I hurt."

"I do. I care. I care so bloody much Coral." She whimpered kissing her thigh again holding tighter.

Shaking her head Coral wrapped her hands into Nellie's hair "But for now you don't need to. Just, I beg you, go slowly."

"I am love. I's no' helpin' nuthin'." Nellie grumbled kissing her hip whining softly.

Looking up Coral shook her head and gently crawled from underneath Nellie "Just leave it, don't worry." She muttered feeling like she'd let Nellie down before she got up and began to scoop up her clothing.

Nellie sighed softly thinking Coral was upset with her and got up taking the clothes from ehr tossing them down and cupping her cheeks kissing her hard again not hearing the gasp from the door way.

Looking up Coral pushed Nellie away before she flushed a shade of red "Alice! Oh, my. Oh fuck." She sighed before quickly grabbing her dress and wrapping it around her body "We.. ermm, look, don't tell anyone, please?" The nanny looked over from her and Nellie, her face pale, her lip trembling "She was.." she shook her head and looked away, a blush on her face "Whatever you want ma'am."

Nellie gasped softly and looked away shaking her head and picking up the blankets and the dress again. "M'sorry. I's my faul'. She didn' wan' anythin'. I's good ya came in." Nellie said slipping past her heading for the door wiping fresh tears from her eyes.

"Nellie." Whispered Coral before she looked to Alice "Make sure she knows the way out." Shaking her head she quickly pulled on her dress then went over to check on her little angels, who seemed to be happily sleeping without a care in the world.

Nellie sighed at the bottom of the stairs sniffling some wiping her eyes looking up sighing. "Could ya leave these fer her? I can fin' my way ou'." She murmured.

Nodding Alice took the clothing before she bit her lip "Miss, can I tell you something?" she sighed and looked at Nellie "I'm worried about Mrs Carter. She mumbles, in her sleep, Mr. Carter hasn't really taken notice but...she says your name Miss. She had a nightmare the other day and called me in. She said she dreamt that you and Mr. Carter had run off with her children and left her with nothing. It's awful hurting her Miss."

"How are ya knowin' wha' she says in her sleep in the firs' place?" Nellie asked frowning looking up at her.

"I-I... I'm their nanny; I have to look after the children. I go in every few hours to make sure they are happy and do not wake up Mr and Mrs. Carter." Muttered Alice as she looked down and thumbed her dress.

"Tha's no' the only reason though is i'?" Nellie asked raising an eyebrow folding her arms over her chest.

Biting her lip Alice swayed a little from side to side "Like I said," she said "I take care of the children...and Mrs. Carter. They need me, that's my job. She's too kind to me; I care for her, so whatever she wants I'll get it."

Nellie sighed nodding taking a shaky breath. "T-take care o'her. Alrigh'? She deserves the bes'. Both of 'em." Nellie murmured turning to go feeling useless for even coming.

"It's not me she wants." Said Alice as she watched Nellie turn "It's you Miss, she's breaking up without ya. I don't want her to keep getting those horrid nightmares that make her scream the house down." She sighed before she smiled lightly up to Nellie "Just make sure you come back and see her soon. Maybe after she can use..." she blushed and looked down "Well, good day Miss."

"M'sure ya can take care o'tha' as well. Wha'ever she wan's righ'? Can use tha' as yer excuse. I-I won' be comin' back. I' does neither of us any good. Don' tell her though. Jus' le' her think wha' she wan's. She's go be'er thin's here withou' me comin' aroun'."

"Then you're just trailing her along on a false lie?" Muttered Alice, a frown on her face "That's mean. She really does like you." Shaking her head she slammed the door and leant her head against it for a few moments before she turned and ran back up to Coral.

Nellie shook her head before the door was slammed in her face and bit her lip staring for a moment before turning away and starting to head home wiping her eyes trying not to just fall apart right there.

"Did she find the way out?" muttered Coral as Alice came back into the room "Yes Mrs. Carter." She smiled and bowed before she scooped up Bella who was chewing on one of her toys "I'll just feed her for you," she looked up to the clock "Mr. Carter will be home soon. Do you want me to start his food?" Looking up Coral smiled "Oh, Alice that's the maids job, not yours. Dont be silly." Alice blushed lightly Bella's back "Don't worry Mrs. Carter, I'd do anything for you. Really." She smiled and quickly turned leaving Coral thinking on what Nellie had said about the young nanny.

Nellie didn't make it very far though. She leant against the wall in an alley telling herself it was best not to go back though she couldn't quite bring herself to believe it. She bit her lip heading back to coral's and slipping inside thanks to a key under the mat.

Standing up Coral checked on the twins before she went after her nanny "Alice?" she muttered as she leant in the doorway "I... don't worry. Come here, I'll take Bella off you, there is some beef in the store cupboard, James will want that." She smiled as she took her daughter back and the nanny smiled lightly before she asked her Mistress "Ma'am? You know them dreams?" she looked up to Coral whom lightly nodded "Well, don't you think it's best to well...move on? I mean, I see you hurt, didn't know why, but then that Nellie person she was all over you, I anit seen nothing like that before." Sighing Coral shook her head and bounced her daughter lightly up and down on her hip "I could never forget her. You've no idea what it was like for me. I was ill and my old husband," she lightly laughed "he was worthless. Nellie helped me, with alot more than you think. I'll love her always for that."

Nellie hid behind the wall and smiled sadly shutting her eyes tight and waiting before the nanny left before going in. "Please, jus' lemme say somethin'. I-I don' know alo'. Bu' I do know how I feel. I-I jus' though' I could pu' tha' aside cause well yer married, m'gonna be... bu' I can'. I keep tryin' t'go cause i's fer the bes'. Bu' I can'. I wan' t'hur' ya so you'll realizze how silly ya are t'be lovin' me bu' I can'. I love ya jus' as much Coral. An'i-i' scares me. I don' know wha' m'supposed t'do."

Coral jumped as Nellie spoke making her turn round, a small smile on her face. Her heart melted at Nellie's words, but of course it melted at anything she said or done. Each word brought her a step closer to Nellie before their lips were together once more, Bella placed between them. Her arms wrapped around her friends waist before she pulled her closer "How could I ever stop loving you, hmm?" she questioned in a small whisper "You are a silly thing Nellie, I don't know what to do either, but, with your lips on mine I know that I want you just as much."

Nellie sighed resting her head on Coral's shoudler crying softly holding her tight. "M'sorry Coral. Bou' everythin'. I-I jus'... nobody. /Nobody has ever loved me before..." She said softly biting her lip holding tighter.

"Sweeney loved you, I love you and I'm sure that this...man... of yours loves you all the same." Coral whispered as she stroked Nellie's hair "Dont ever think that. Ever. I'm here for you, I'll love you, no matter what you do or say. I promised, didn't I. You know that."

"Sweeney didn' love me." She muttered shaking her head. "No' really. He couldn' have. M'no' gonna stop either love. Never. M'lucky tha' ya don' ha'e me by now."

"I'm sure he did. I could tell, otherwise he wouldn't of hated me so much. He wouldn't have fought as hard as he did against me for you." Coral muttered lightly kissing Nellie's cheek before she laughed lightly "Now, how could I ever hate something that I love so much? Like I said, you took my heart first. Not ever Tom.. or James.. could ever do that. You made my stomach flutter every time I heard your voice, touched you, breathed in that intoxicating smell of your warm skin." She shivered lightly at as the words oozed from her mouth "I'd never stop loving you. I'd never, ever hate you."

Nellie smiled as more tears fell and kissed Coral's cheek holding her other. "I don' know wha' I did t'deserve ya bu' I'd do i' all over again in a hear'bea' love. I swear i'."

Coral echoed her smile and sighed happily "You helped me, that's why; you saved me from so much pain. Yes, we've both had our fair share of it but you stopped me doing something terrible. I'll love you forever Nellie, really, I will. Till the day I die."

Nellie pulled back kissing her gently. "Thank ya. Thank ya Coral. Fer everythin'. I don' know wha' I'd do withou' ya. I hones'ly don'."

Breathing in Coral kissed Nellie back a little harder, a smile pressed against her lips before she let her finger trail over Nellie's pale collar bone "Don't thank me. I've done nothing; I just fell in love with a beautiful woman. That's all."

Nellie laughed some wiping her eyes kissing Coral's neck. "Bloody stubborn thin' ya are. Well fine. Makes two of us then. Cause yer terribly beau'iful love. Ya have no idea."

Shaking her head Coral nibbled at Nellie's ear "No, I'm not, far from it. Not after those two, I'm a mess. End of. But you, my dear, you're just like I said.. my beautiful, pale angel."

She shook her head more blushing some. "No' after those two? Really? Well I beg t'differ. Yer gorgeous love. Those two jus' add to i'. Yer glowin' even jus' talkin' bou' 'em."

Coral pulled back and smiled at Nellie "Their my little sweethearts, I'd be lost without them, and Bella, I never thought I would have three beautiful children.. not after what Tom done, what the doctor said." She trailed off and looked down in thought, anger building inside of her as she went back over the day. Tom hurt her so much and the doctor, he was wrong, they were all wrong.

Nellie sighed softly nodding looking away. "Ya jus' keep provin' 'em all wrong love. Wouldn' expec' any less." She teased.

Coral giggled and kissed Nellie's forehead "Well, I don't think anyone would expected me to of fallen in love with a woman now, would they?" smirked Coral as she looked down at Bella who was laughing happily in her arm "What amuses you so? Hmm, just trying to get some attention?" Coral laughed and lifted her daughter into the air, above her head, before Bella screamed out in delight her arms outstretched into the free space.

Nellie smiled watching her with Bella and sighed softly fixing the little girl's hair when she was lowered. "Mmm. I remember when Vi was her age. So long ago now. Hard t'believe i' all really."

Looking up Coral grinned "She's a lovely girl. Got her beauty from her mother, you just wait; she'll be snapped up soon by some handsome lad." She placed Bella back onto her hip before she started to move around the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of warm milk off the side before she passed it to Bella who gripped it in her hands "There, see, you're a big girl now." She smiled at her daughter, who put the bottle to her mouth, before she placed her hand under the bottle ready to catch it in case her daughter let it go.

Nellie smiled some sitting down at the table. "I hope so. She's jus' had i' rough. I know. I jus' hope she'll be alrigh'. I worry bou' her."

Leaning against the counter Coral held the bottle a little higher for Bella to get a good grip "We all have to worry about our children, Nellie. But, she'll do herself well. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She knows what to do, no matter what mistakes she takes."

Nellie laughed softly smiling looking back over at her resting her elbow on the table and her head in her hand. "Tha' girl is fond o'ya ya know."

"Violet? Well, I don't know what to say. I'm flattered. Just let her know I'm here if she needs me." Smiled Coral as she kissed Bella's cheek before her daughter laughed, milk spilling from her mouth and onto Coral's dress "Oh, bloody hell!" she snapped before grabbing a cloth.

"No' Vi! Oh ya crazy woman. I mean tha' girl. Alicce or wha'ever." Nellie said getting up and taking the cloth making it damp before cleaning Coral's dress for her.

Looking up from Nellie's hands Coral nodded "She's a nice girl. She looks after me, alot." She sighed and looked to Bella "Naughty girl, Bella, really."

"I don' mean like tha' Coral an ya know i'. An' be nice t'the poor dear. She was jus' ea'in'. No' her faul' yer kisses tickle her." She said tickling Bella's tummy.

Smiling Coral shook her head and watched Bella laugh "I do love you little one, loads." She looked up and looked to Nellie "And, I know you didn't, I just want to get that point across."

"Mmm. Can' say I blame her though." She murmured kissing her shoulder finishing cleaning up the spilled milk.

"She doesn't, not in that way." Sighed Coral as she shivered under Nellie's soft lips.

"Mmm. Tha's wha' ya think /now/. I think differen'ly."

"Dont piss me off." Muttered Coral as she pulled back and started to fuss over Bella in order to pull away from the subject.

Nellie sighed getting up. "Should be headin' ou' anyways. M'sure James'll be home soon."

Coral nodded and put Bella's now empty bottle into the sink "Yes, you should. Wouldn't want him to get angry with me." She sighed and looked down.

"I'll be off then." she murmured heading out and for the door.

Coral sighed and stood in thought for a few moments before she heard the door shut behind Nellie "Us two, really Bella. Don't ever fall in love with a woman." She tutted before she looked up, hearing a cough as James stood in the doorway causing a smile to fall on her face "Hello dear."

"What was she doing here?" James asked raising an eyebrow gesturing to the door and walking in going over to her.

"Oh, just dropping some stuff off for the three little ones." She looked up and smiled weakly "And, she's getting married. Thought she'd come and tell me."

"Mmm. That's good then. She'll stop coming by then and upsetting you. You don't need that sort of thing. What sort of things did she bring by for them?"

"She does not upset me." Muttered Coral before she patted Bella's back "Oh, just a few blankets for the twins and a dress for Bella. They're really nice."

"Hmm. I'll have the nanny get rid of them. We've no use for them. Doubt they'd like them anyways."

Looking up to him Coral frowned angrily "Don't say such a thing, she put alot of work into them and I'll use them. You don't know what to do with them three. You're never bloody home; me and Alice do all the work. You're never here when Bella's breaking stuff, Chris is being sick and little Nellie is crying!"

"Why do you think I went back to work Coral? So I can continue to give them whatever they want when they get older. And we are not keeping whatever ridiculous things that woman brought into this house."

"They don't know the difference!" Screamed Coral suddenly, feeling rage boil inside her. How dare he tell her what she could or couldn't do "They wear what clothes I put on them, so deal with it."

"Well those things won't be here so it wont matter. I won't have my /wife/ carrying on with some other woman Coral. I've told you this before."

"Dont-tell-me-what-to-do!" Snarled Coral, her eyes wild before Bella whimpered in her arms as she felt her mother become tense "The clothes are staying with my children."

"They aren't /your/ children. They are ours and I have more of a say in them then you do! I am their father! If I say I don't want that filthy woman's thing in my house then they will be thrown out!"

"You call yourself a father!" screamed Coral as Bella began to lightly sob "You never hold them, Nellie you never give the time of day! Dont you dare say that! I'm more to them then you'll ever be!" she stormed past him only pausing to slap him across the face "I wish I never met you." She hissed, tears in her eyes before she left the room and grabbed a bag on the way, there was no way she would herself and her children stay with him any longer.

James stared after her in shock before storming up. "What the hell do you thing your doing?" he yelles grabbing the bag and tossing it. "There is no reason to have things from her here! You know how I feel about her!"

Turning to face him she screamed hitting out at him "I don't care what you think anymore! I really don't care." She pushed past him and grabbed the bag once more "She's my friend and you've got nothing to do with her!" she placed Bella onto the bed before she threw open and draws and began to pull her clothing from it.

James grabbed her wrist and spun her back to him wrapping his arms tightly around her. "Stop all this nonsense! I love you Coral! You don't need that woman coming here and ruining everything for us like she is now!"

"Get away from me!" she snapped pushing away from him "I'm fed up with all of this! You can never face the fact that she'll still my friend! Just because you're so bloody jealous!" turning she grabbed more clothing, throwing it into the bag, tears and anger in her eyes.

James grabbed the bag and held it away. "Stop this nonsense! You are my wife! I love you! I have given you everything!"

She hit him round the face once more. She felt close to killing him, the rage boiled inside her "Give me my fucking bag back now!" she hollered at him her arms trying to grab it back "I don't care anymore! I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

James glared at her tossing the bag. "What the hell is the matter with you! Yo can't just do this you know!"

"It's you!" she screamed up at him "All the time I bring Nellie up you bitch about her! She's still my friend! I still loved her! I still care!" she pushed past him, grabbing Bella before she pulled the pram out and went over to the twins "And, you just watch me!" she scooped them up and put them into the pram, pulling Nellie's blankets over them before she put Bella on her hip. Quickly she pushed the pram to the front door, tears leaking for her eyes before she slammed it open "You don't bloody own me! You hear me!"

James narrwed his eyes following her and gripped her arm tightly yanking her back. "You are /not/ leaving. Not with my children not on your own." James said scooping up Chris.

"Dont you even dare bother doing this again!" she hissed before putting her hands onto her hips "Give him back now!" she screamed not caring if people pointed at her or whispered "Now! Now! Now! Give him back!" quickly she moved, putting Bella into the empty pram space and grabbed Chris from her husband's hands "Touch him again and I'll scream for help! They'll believe me over you!" she snapped before turning back away, pushing the pram as fast as she could.

James followed after her and grabbed her arm tightly. "Don't you dare take my children from me Coral. Not you too. Don't you /dare/."

"Get off of me now before I scream that you're hurting me." She snapped her arm away from him and walked on "Come near me again and I'll scream like there is no tomorrow." She said back to him.

James ignored her not letting go of her arm gripping tighter. "I saved your life Coral. I love you. I have done nothing but try my damndest for you! And this is what I get?"

"Since when the hell did you save my life? Nellie saved it, not you!" she snarled trying to pull out of his tight grip making her whimper a little at his strength "Just get away from me, now!"

"Who do you think saved you from that crazy bastard trying to kill you Coral? Who do you think had given you two amazing children? Who?"

Looking up Coral scoffed still tugging at her arm "Nellie you idiot! She saved me, you where in the house packing. So don't you dare make yourself out to be the big hero." She snapped up at him ignoring his second question "Now, get off me before I scream for help!"

"I am their /father/ Coral. They need me whether you think so or not. I love them whether you think so or not!" James exclaimed pushing her away and scooping up Chris again holding his arm out to keep her away.

"I hate you." She whispered pulling her wedding ring off and throwing it at his feet "I'm coming back from him later; I don't care what you say. A mother comes before a father, it's the law!" she snapped before she smiled at her son "Mummy will come get you later sweetie." She whispered to him before she glared at James and turned once more, pushing the pram down the road.

James picked up the ring and put it in his pocket rocking Chris gently kissing his head before heading home looking down mourning the loss of his wife and daughters.

Coral stopped in the road, tears streaming down her face as she watched her husband walk away. She felt sick and suddenly lost without him but she was fed up with the silly arguments over Nellie. She sighed, lowering her head as she began to walk away. She wondered aimlessly but found she was steering in the way of Nellie's house. Pausing outside her front door her red eyes looked to her old house, the house she missed so much before she knocked on the door, quickly wiping her nose.

Violet answered the door after bit yawning. "Coral? Wha' are ya doin' here? Ya look awful wha' happened?" She said softly frowning.

"Fight," Muttered Coral as she brushed fresh tears away "Is Nellie in?"

"Ummm. Yeah. She wen' t'bed already. said i's been a long day. M'the only one up. Studyin'."

"Oh." Sighed Coral before she leant over the pram and tucked her two daughter under the covers "Dont worry, just tell her I stopped by? We'll go find a hotel, then I'll go back and get Chris, wont we little ones?"

"Why don' ya come in? I doub' she'd be upse'. Ya can stay in the gus' room."

Biting her lip Coral looked over her shoulder to the town before she looked back to Violet "I wouldn't want to just barge in. I mean, with these two.."

"Ya aren' bargin' in. I'm le'in' ya in. I can' jus' leave ya ou' there. I's horrible ou'. Gonna pour down any secon'." Violet said tugging her inside.

Laughing lightly Coral pulled the pram in after her and thanked Violet "But if Nellie doesn't want me here I'm to go, ok. I need to go back later and get Chris as it is."

"I'm no' makin' ya. I's jus' safer than bein' ou' there. Specially fer them. My room's upstairs. Acros from mum's."

Nodding Coral scooped up her two daughters and began to quickly climb the stairs wanting nothing more than to curl up with her little angels. Opening the bedroom door, she paused to look at Nellie's one before she sighed and walked in to the guest one before slumping onto the bed with little Nellie and the ever so growing Bella.

Nellie rolled over smiling some seeing John was asleep and sighed getting up pulling on her nightdress and walking out to Violet's room thinking Violet was in there. She walked in gasping and shut the door behind her. "Coral..."

Looking up Coral smiled weakly before tears rolled down her face "Hello pale angel."

She frowned more going over sitting infront of her wiping her tears. "Wha's the ma'er love?"

"I hate him," Coral whispered looking down to Nellie "I wish we'd never met. I wish he never took me away from you."

"Why would ya say tha'? Ya love him." Nellie murmured pulling her close kissing her cheek.

"No, I don't love him, not when he insults you or takes my children," she sighed and looked over to her two daughters feeling the achy need for Chris "like he's done once more."

"Wha' are ya talkin' abou'? Where's Chris?" Nellie asked frowning only seeing the two little girls.

Shutting her eyes Coral sighed "He's got him. Took him away, once more. Pulled me back and grabbed Chris from the pram, wouldn't give him back."

"Oh love..." Nellie sighed wrapping her arms around Coral pulling her close rubbing her back. "We'll go t'morrow alrigh'?"

Nodding Coral buried her face into the crook of Nellie's neck "Thank you." She whispered before she pulled back and looked around the room "Feels like its years since I've been in this house."

"I's been awhile love. I can take ya t'the gues' room if ya wan'. I's bigger than Vi's bu' the bed is smaller."

Coral shook her head "No, don't worry, we're fine in here. I'm not pulling anyone from their bed," she muttered and looked around the room "won't be here for long anyway."

"Where are ya gonna go love?"

"Anywhere that wants me." Muttered Coral before she picked up little Nellie in her arms.

"Oh. Alrigh'." Nellie murmured getting up. "I'll leave y'all be then." She said softly going out the door.

Shaking her head Coral laid back down on the bed, pulling her two daughters into her as she curled up "Just rest my sweeties, it'll all be over soon." She sighed, thinking her plan over before she gently shut her eyes and fell to sleep.

Nellie bit her lip glancing at her own door with tears in her eyes before going downstairs pouring herself a drink.

Coral was suddenly waken by a crash on the front door and raised voices. Frowning she brushed down her dress and peered out of the bedroom door before she heard a voice, a man's voice, James! Gasping she ran down the stairs to see him and Nellie shouting at each other "What the hell are you doing?" she screamed.

Nellie jumped biting her lip. "Damni' Coral."

"See I knew she was here! You lying little whore! Of course you'd try to keep my wife here! Where is my daughter Coral?" James demanded glaring at Nellie.

"Dont you dare call her that! You little shit!" Screamed Coral, her hands clenching her dress in rage before she harshly laughed "You're going nowhere near them! Now, I'd like Chris back, before I call the police! I'll take them away, just like your wife did with Lily! You cannot stop me!"

James' eyes darkened glaring at Nellie more stepping closer to her. "This is all your fault. Because you can't keep your disgusting self away from my wife!" He yelled smacking Nellie across the face hard knocking her to the floor.

Gasping Coral knelt down next to Nellie and pulled her up so she sat "How could you! You monster! I hate you, get out!" she pulled away from Nellie she shoved her husband "I said go! I don't want you, it's over!"

He shoved her back down and stormed upstairs slaming open door looking for his daughter.

"Get away from them! I swear if you touch them I'll kill you!" she screamed to him after she ran back up the stairs. Tears rolled down her cheek before she stood in front of the spare bedroom door "Just go, please," she whispered. She looked like a wolf fighting for her pups, she was a wolf, she'd rip him up if he went anywhere near little Nellie and Bella "I don't want you. We don't want you, so go."

"I don't care. I am /not/ leaving my daughter here for you to do God knows what to her! Who knows what you two might do!"

"Fuck off! Get out of this house!" she hollered at him before she hit him hard in the face, she was ready to kill him, make him suffer "NOW! Go!"

He grabbed her wrist before she could and twisted hard scooping up his daughter. "Stay the fuck away Coral. She isn't yours. Not anymore."

Screaming out in pain she charged at him, before she grabbed a small pair of nail scissors from the side and pointed them at his stomach "Put her down," she hissed wishing someone, a man, would come and help "now."

James moved little Nellie infront of the scissors. "Gonna stab your own daughter to get to me?"

"NO!" she snapped putting the scissors between his legs "I'll rip them off to get you! Now, give her back!"

He moved her lower covering himself. "Don't mess with me Coral. I mean it."

"I'm sorry." She whispered before she lowered the scissors and looked down, tears in her eyes "I must be mad. Truly. I must be."

"You are." He spat walking out backwards holding the baby close gasping his eyes widening.

Nellie moved aside now holding a bloody knofe having stabbed him from behind. "Ge' her."

"James!" squealed Coral before she quickly tugged little Nellie from his grip. Her eyes widened before she grabbed her bleeding husband "James! Get a doctor Nellie!"

"No! He doesn' bloody deserve one! He'd jus' ge' be'er. Ge' me sen' off t'jail an' take yer children again! How can ya defen' him?"

"I'm not defending him!" Coral screamed once more, tears in her eyes "Just do it! Get one!" she sobbed and leant over James "Please hold on, just hold on. Dont go!"

Nellie shook her head stepping back. "No. M'no' ge'in' him a bloody doctor."

Quickly she put little Nellie onto the spare bed before she grabbed her husband and lay him on his stomach, she gripped the scissors in her hands, quickly cutting the back of his shirt open. Gasping she felt her stomach knot seeing the wound. It wasn't enough to cause real damage but all the same, her James was hurt. Grabbing the ripped material she pushed it into the wound hearing him let out small whimper "Shh, it's alright. Just don't say anything, fucking idiot."

"I can' believe yer actually takin' care o'the bloody bstard! He hi' me! He pu' yer daugh'er in danger! An' yer still in love with him!"

"I do not love him! Not after all of that, he hurt you! I saw! I hate him for it, but I still care! He's their father, my husband and I'm hardly going to let him slip away."

"I wish I'd have stabbed him in the bloody throa'." She said shaking her head dropping the knife going into her room slamming the door shut.

Hissing Coral watched her go "Turn right into a little Sweeney then, wont you!" she yelled after her before she sighed and looked down to James "Why? You didn't need to do that!" Shaking her head she pushed the cloth harder against his wound.

Nellie shut her eyes tight sliding down the door burying her face in her arms resting them on her knees.

Violet frowned stepping out. "Don' say tha'. Ya don' know anythin'. She saved yer daugh'er. Ya should be bloody thankful."

"She just stabbed my husband in the back!" yelled Coral as she looked up to Violet "I'm surprised you're not even fazed that your own mother put a knife in his back!" she sighed and looked down to her husband "James? Can you hear me?"

"Wha'ever. Jus' take him an' ge' ou'. Ya've done enough t'her already." Vioelt said bringing the babies out of her room settiing them beside Coral.

Laughing Coral snatched her children from the floor "What? And she's done nothing back!" Scoffing Coral quickly placed her girls into their pram and pulled James off of the floor, putting his arm over her shoulder "Come on, let's get you into bed." She muttered to him as she quickly walked from the house and went back home. Sorting out the twins and checking on Chris she sighed and put James onto their bed, his back facing upwards "Bloody fool." She muttered.

James winced some pulling her closer and kissing her. "Please don't do this Coral. I can't lose everything again. I can't. You mean the world to me."

Pulling back Coral shook her head and sat in a chair by the bed "Dont you do this, not now. You hurt me. I'm in the mood for anything at the moment. Just rest."

"Come lay with me. I can't rest without you Coral. I need you. You are my world. You four."

"Just rest." She muttered once more before she sighed and put her head into her hands, tears welling in her eyes before she bit her lip and sat back in the chair, deep in thought.

"Coral... Please." He murmured looking over at her holding his hand out to her.

"Go to sleep, you need your rest." She said standing up before she went over to the window and looked across the sea. She didn't know what to do, who to choose. Stuck, Coral was stuck.

James sighed and laid his head back falling to sleep still reaching for her in his sleep.

Coral sighed as she watched him, her fingers trailing meaningful over her lips. Biting her tongue she paced the room a few times before she too became tired. Checking her babies once more, just to check they were still there she slumped back down into the chair, pulling an old blanket over her before she shut her eyes in the wait for a long, and no doubt uncomfortable sleep.

James woke up groaning and had Alice help to bandage his shoulder up and made some eggs, toast and tea putting it on a tray along with a rose from the garden and headed up shaking Coral gently. "Wake up."

Wrinkling her nose Coral slowly woke up before she gasped seeing James' face so close to her own. "You should be asleep." She muttered closing her eyes and turning her head away from him "You got stabbed in the back, shouldn't be up and walking." Slowly she looked down and scoffed seeing the tray "You've got some nerve. I don't want it... not hungry."

"Coral, I love you. You know that. We just had a little argument is all. It all got out of control so quickly. Please, you can't keep pushing me away. We are meant to be." James said cupping her cheek turning her face back leaning in more.

"A little argument?" scoffed Coral once more "You hit Nellie in the face, you twisted my arm, you put your own daughter in front of you to protect you!" She grabbed his arm and pushed him away before sniffing lightly "Take that food away, making me feel sick."

"She deserved what she got. And I am sorry about your arm. I-I just can't lose my children Coral. Please. Not again. And I don't want to lose you either. You're my wife. You mean the world to me."

"I thought you were the nicest person in the world! I loved the fact that you wouldn't touch me or hurt anyone!" snapped Coral pushing the tray away from her face "Please. It's making me close to gagging."

James sighed picking up the tray and looking down heading out of the room and going downstairs dumping the food in the trash sitting at the table with his head in his hands.

Coral watched him go before she stood up and checked on her children. Her fingers thumbed the empty space where her wedding ring was. Wiping her eyes she started a bath. Her stomach rumbled but she couldn't eat, it made her feel sick. Sighing she looked at herself in the mirror as she slowly pulled off her dress and slipped into the filling water.

Nellie woke up groaning and stretching from having slept there on the floor all night and stood up wincing feeling a sharp pain in her face figuring she'd gotten a nice big handshaped bruise. "Ya awake love?" She murmured looking for John on the bed.

Slowly turning John smiled up and her with a little nod as his eyes widened "How did you get that mark?" he grabbed her down to the bed and held her face to one side to get a better look "That looks like a slap mark. How the hell done that?"

Nellie sighed softly leaning into him. "I' is. My frien' came by needin' some help an' her rather upse' husban' followed. Did ya know ya sleep like a log love?"

Pulling her onto the bed he frowned "So he done that to you?" he muttered his finger slowly and gently trailing down her cheek before he lightly laughed "Oh yes, I know. When I was little I never woke up to anything. Mother thought me dead a few times."

She winced some as he touched it nodding and scooted onto his lap laying her head on his shoulder. "Poor thin'. Mus' have had her worried sick all the time."

Smiling he wrapped his arms around her before he asked once more, a serious look upon his face "Did he do that to you Nellie? Cos if he did I'll give him one."

"Please don' love. I's no' worth all tha'. I' will jus' cause more problems if ya go an' do tha'."

He bit his lip in thought before sighing. Leaning her back he leant over her and pushed his lips against hers "I hate it when you're so defensive." He muttered against her warm flesh.

She kissed him back smiling some and ran her fingers through his hair. "Yer good t'me love. Even if I don' deserve i'."

"You, Nellie Arnold, deserve everything. Truly, do you." He whispered kissing her head his hands pushing up the bed sheets and into her feet.

Nellie laughed softly shaking her head squirming some. "No I don'. Bu' I'll take i' anyways. An' tha' tickles ya know."

Echoing her laugh his hands pushed under the hem of her skirts "Better?" he muttered sucking at her neck as his fingertips trailed up her thighs.

"Mmm. Defini'ely no' worse love." She murmured titling her head back and shutting her eyes sighing softly. It was no longer John there above her. Now the lips were much softer and the body more curvy. In her mind it was Coral, her Coral touching and kissing her.

"Good to hear that." He whispered slowly tugging her undergarments down. Pulling back he moved and began to suck at the top of her breasts, a soft groan escaping his mouth as his fingers wove between her cleavage.

She bit her lip pushing him back some shaking her head. "I-I' wasn' jus' some frien' tha' came over love."

His lips still pursed as he went to kiss her back before frowning "What do you mean, Nellie?" he murmured feeling a little disappointed that he still wasn't touching her.

"Her name's Coral. She's one o'the mos' amazin people I know. An' well we were more than frien's before I me' ya."

"Coral?" muttered John before he coughed and looked up to her "More? You mean... that's sick."

"I's no' sick. She helped me through alo' o'thin's. Don' ya dare go insul'in' her."

"You two," he shivered and looked down "on this bed." Gagging he pulled himself from the bed and stared at her "How could you even think of doing that. You touched her!"

"I' jus' sorta happened. No' like I've seen ya complain' bou' me before. All tha's changed is now ya know."

"You still touched a woman!" he yelled before ripping his shirt off, that he spelt in and grabbed fresh clothing "That's sick Nellie! That's what those nutty people do."

"Ya touched a woman. Why's i' ma'er if I have? I's no' like I had anyone else there."

"I can touch a woman because I'm a man!" he hissed before he threw his clothing onto the floor and looked to her "Why?"

"Wha' do ya mean why? She asked sitting up frowning.

"Why on earth did you touch her? That's the most disgusting thing ever, Nellie, ever." He said feeling a little sick in the stomach.

"Ya don' seem t'fin' i' so disgustin' when ya touch me."

"I want to see her." Muttered John looking up to Nellie, a little anger in his eyes.

"Why? Wha' are ya gonna do love?"

Looking up John grabbed a clean shirt and pulled it on "I want to ask her why! She's messed up in the head, I want her nowhere near you. Not anymore. Or else."

"Or else wha'? Doesn' ma'er anyways. She wen' back home with him. They were tha' pregnan' couple from the restraun' when we firs' me'."

Scoffing John shook his head and began to pull on his trousers "This just gets better and better. Hmm!"Rolling his eyes he picked up his jacket "I'm still seeing her. I won't have this. Sick little whore, how dare she!"

"She isn' a whore! Ya won' have wha' M'no' seein' her anymore!"

Smirking John looked up to Nellie. He could be nasty when he wanted to; got that from his father "She is a whore. She touched you like a little toy." He leant forward "She'll be hung for this. Messed up little girl." Turning he grabbed his coat and headed out of the room.

"No! Ya can' do tha' t'her! she yelled after him pulling a coat over herself following him.

"Just watch me!" he hissed. He didn't know why he was in such a rage but his fathers influence told him that to get rid of that woman was a good idea. "Get her out of the way." He flew open the front door and headed down the road.

She caught up tugging on his arm. "John. Please stop this. I's ridiculous. Jus' leave 'em be."

Spinning round John sneered at his future wife "No, she's fucked in the head! She's sick the head. Her poor children and husband! She's better off hanging from a tree."

Nellie gasped sftly shaking her head and smacking him across the face. "Don' ya /ever/ say tha'. She's one o'the bes' thin's tha' happened t'me. I wouldn' change a thin'."

"Dont hit me." He hissed pushing back from her as he turned once more and headed towards the police station.

Nellie bt her lip running after him and grabbing his arm. "Don' do this. Please love. I-I'll take ya to her jus' no' the police. Alrigh'. Anythin' ya wan'."

He looked to her for a few moments, his head tilted in thought before he nodded "Fine. Take me then, but don't expect me to have the tiniest bit of respect for her." He hissed, folding his arms.

Nellie sighed holding the coat around herself tighter and headed down the road eventually knocking on the door of the house nervously.

Walking behind her John watched her knock before he rolled his eyes, moving her out of the way before he knocked harder at the door "Open the door!" he yelled.

Sighing Coral looked up from watching Bella. She was done with her bath and now was entertaining her daughter with a few toys. "Come on sweetie." She muttered lifting Bella up, heading for the door before she opened it and frowned "Nellie?"

"M'sorry." She said softly looking away with tears in her eyes folding her arms across her chest looking over at James.

Coral frowned, looking to Nellie then James before her eyes settled on John, he didn't look happy. She opened her mouth to speak but he hushed her and glared at her.

"Coral, I'm guessing." John hissed before he moved closer to her "You're a sick little whore! You'll never touch her again, you hear me, stay away from my wife or you'll be hanging from a tree."

"Stop sayin' tha'! I told ya she isn' a bloody whore! An' why do ya have t'say tha' infron' of the baby?" Nellie said gesturing to Bella. "M'sorry Coral."

"Shut up Nellie! I'm speaking." Snapped John before he shoved his finger near to Coral now pale face "Why the hell did you even bother putting your dirty, filthy hands onto her? God knows what you done to the poor thing."

Gasping Coral looked at him, eyes and mouth wide "I-I..." she looked to Nellie as she lightly bounced Bella "It just.. happened."

"She didn' star' i' all! I did! I's my faul' this whole bloody mess happened! No' hers! An' trus' me she /has/ done somethin' t'me bu' i's nuthin' I'd ever bloody take back!"

"Nellie." Whispered Coral, a small smile on her face "Don't say that. I was the first one to move. But.." she sighed happily before she was cut off once more.

Scoffing John moved closer to Coral as he sized up to her "How'd you do it?" he hissed "How'd you touch her? Hmm? Like this?" suddenly his hands cupped her cheeks making Coral gasp and pull back "How'd you make her love you so?"

Nellie smiled at Coral before tugging John back. "Would ya knock i' off! Wha' do ya think yer doin'? Jus' leave her be! Gonna scare poor Bella t'death ya are."

"Just a baby," muttered John "nothing special."

Frowning Coral gulped, her head raised before she muttered "I do it because I loved her for what she was, not what she done." She looked down and sighed "You've no idea what I'd do just to kiss her once more. You know..nothing."

"She is somethin' special. How can ya say tha'? She's a li'le baby." Nellie sighed and looked up at Coral smiling. "I know love."

Opening in his mouth John laughed wildly "I cannot believe this," he looked at Nellie and then to Coral "you both still like each other. Well! This just gets better and better." He looked to Coral "She's going to be my wife, not yours, so if you touch her again you're little neck with have a rope around it."

Whimpering Coral backed away before she looked to Nellie "How can you even love a man like this?" she whispered blinking back tears "Come with me, get inside, please." She held her hand out in wait, as Bella lightly gurgled in her other arm.

Nellie gasped softly and looked between the two and bit her lip taking Coral's hand stepping closer. "I can' le' ya kill her."

Pulling Nellie towards her she smiled, pushing aside the scoffs from James and John. "There, that's better." She whispered her face glowing as she felt herself nearer to her Nellie once more.

Sneering John grabbed Nellie's wrist "Dont you even dare. You think by going with her will stop me from hurting her?"

Nellie held Coral's hand tighter. "If yer onna hur' her I may as well jus' be there t'help her. Ya don' care bou' wha' I say. She does. Jus' leave her alone."

"You make me sick, the both of you," hissed John as he turned around "you're little lover, Nellie, won't be around for long, better use your time well." Smirking he shook her head at his future wife before he headed down the road.

Sighing Coral watched him go before she pulled Nellie closer to her "I cannot believe you were even thinking of marrying that." She looked to James sending a harsh glare before she tugged Nellie upstairs.

Nellie followed her in and sighed pulling away from her shaking her head. "I had no choice bu' t'come here. I wouldn' have if he wasn' abou' t'call the police. Ya already decided las' nigh' who ya'd rather be with Coral. Ya wen' with yer husban'. Who bloody well deserved wha' he go' whether ya think so or no'."

"I'm not with him," muttered Coral as she looked to Bella "I just helped him. I've refused to speak to him and I haven't touched his stupid breakfast he made." Sighed she placed Bella into her cot before she lifted her hand up "See," she said pointing to her finger "I won't put that ring back on, I won't!"

Nellie sighed shaking her head running a hand through her hair. "This is all my bloody faul'. I go' us into this. Why's i' have t'be so wrong?"

Coral echoed her sigh and slumped onto her bed "It's not your fault, don't say that. We both know we wouldn't regret it." She looked up, a weak smile on her face "It may be wrong, but I do love it, just a bit."

Nellie smiled some and went over to sit beside her and turned her face up kissing her gently. "There ya go. There's yer kiss."

"Why is it," whispered Coral, a smile owning her lips "that we refused to do this but once again we're back with each other," she leant closer to Nellie "doing," pushing her lips against Nellie's her hands fell loosely round her neck "this?"

Nellie shut her eyes kissing her back and pushing Coral back holding her thin waist. "Because I can' stop. No ma'er how hard I try i's you in my head when he's touchin' me. I close my eyes an' i's always you. Always."

Blushing lightly Coral looked into Nellie's eyes "Oh, really?" she bit her lip and tucked back some on Nellie's hair behind her ear "I-I done that.. with James.. on our honeymoon."

Nellie stared down at her a moment before kissing her harder moaning softly into her mouth holding her tighter.

Sighing once more Coral pulled her nearer feeling that same old lust creeping into her body. Once again her heart smashed against her chest and that familiar moan left her mouth as lips crushed against lips. Such soft, beautiful lips.

Nellie kissed her harder sliding her tongue into Coral's mouth caressing her body closer moaning louder into her mouth starting to tug on Coral's laces.

Kissing her back Coral pushed her tongue against Nellie's. She whimpered feeling the soft hands tug and pull at her dress. Pulling Nellie down onto the bed, leaning over her before she pulled her lips away and sucked at her neck lightly.

Nellie tilted her head back groaning arching up to her tugging Coral's dress down impatiently, running her fingers over her smooth pale back. "Coral..."

"Yes?" Whispered Coral as her hands ran over the uppers of Nellie's breasts "Can I help you?" Giggling Coral pushed her hips onto Nellie's, a little pain running through her but she could push it aside, she had to.

Nellie groaned softly rocking her hips against her catching her lips agains in a seering kiss tossing Coral's dress and corset aside rubbing her hands along her sides. "Bloody hell Coral. Oh the thin's ya make me feel love."

"Really? Why, what are you feeling know Nellie?" whispered Coral as she rammed her hips into Nellie's, a gasp leaving her mouth in delight. She leant over Nellie, her hands ripping open the top of her corset, pulling her breasts out before her mouth devoured her breasts and nipples.

Nellie groaned holding the back of Coral's head panting softly arching her back closer wrapping her legs around Coral's waist shuddering. "Bloody hell love..."

James glared at the ceiling hearing his wife and that woman and stormed up there slamming the door open to yell before watching.

Nellie didn't hear a thing moaning Coral's name louder rubbing her hips against Coral's biting her lip. "Fuckin' hell Coral... I need ya love..."

Not being able to wait Coral threw off Nellie's dress before she grabbed Nellie's wrists pinning them above her head. She squirmed in delight seeing Nellie's breasts stretch up. Leaning back down her mouth went back to sucking in Nellie's soft nipples before she gently let her hands weave around her thighs. She remembered the last time this happened, how much pain she ended up in so much pain but she needed her, more than ever. Suddenly the door slammed open, making a gasp leave her mouth "James!" she squealed before she smirked and went back to Nellie, she wouldn't take any of his rubbish anymore.

Nellie squirmed beneath her trying to push closer whining softly. "Coral... please love... Bloody hell yer gonna drive me up a wall."

James raised an eyebrow watching his wife before his eyes strayed to the redheaded woman pinned beneath her. He couldn't deny it, his wife had good taste.

Giggling Coral pulled back, sitting on her legs before she began to roll down Nellie's undergarments, a purr of pleasure bouncing off her lips "Oh, come on Nellie, don't pretend you do like all this," she trailed her finger up Nellie's slit before she went back to pulling the undergarments down "teasing."

Nellie moaned louder arching her back grabbing Coral pulling her closer kissing her harder groaning.

James glanced at the door and quietly shut it locking the door unbuttoning his shirt slowly.

Looking up to James Coral let her mouth open at his cheek before she shook her head and leant next to her ear "Just ignore him." She whispered, throwing the undergarments to one side before her fingers came to up and pushed deep into Nellie, a gasp leaving her mouth as she felt around Nellie's insides.

Nellie almost asked what she was talking about before crying out her name wrapping a leg around her moaning louder.

James tossed his shirt aside and removed his trousers walking over kissing the back of Coral's neck tickling her sides.

Gasping at her husband's touch Coral looked over to him before she went back to Nellie. She watched the pleasured face, watching her fingers sliding in and out of Nellie it made her groan out loud.

James pushed her down over Nellie rubbing her legs tugging down his shorts rubbing against her from behind.

"Coral..." She moaned kissing her more biting her lip gently moving with her fingers panting her name.

Biting her lip Coral couldn't help but let out a little moan as her husband pushed against her, as much as she hated him, wanted him away she'd be waiting for a moment like this – for a long time. Her fingers pumped deeper and faster into Nellie's warm, wet flesh "Ohh god," she whispered as she began to suck along Nellie's breasts "shit."

Nellie tangled her hand in Coral's hair again panting heavily and arching up to her. "O-oh Coral... I.. oh bloody hell..." She held tighter arching up to her more crying out her name as she came panting heavily.

James smirked hearing Coral and held her hips gently pushing into her knowing she was still tender and kissed her back slowly moving faster grunting hearing Nellie holding Coral's hips tighter.

"Steady!" hissed Coral to James before she gasped as he pushed into her, taking her from behind. She pushed back a little, taking her fingers from Nellie before putting them to her lips and cleaning the fluids straight off. Moaning she licked along Nellie's lips before she bent down and licked up her thigh.

Nellie bit her lip shuddering panting and moaning softly feeling Coral's tongue on her and tilted her head back.

James held her tighter moving faster pushing deeper into his wife faster before groaning her name as he came.

Shutting her eyes Coral as pleasure was ripped through her body. Groaning she panted for a few moments as she leant over Nellie before she looked back to James, her face flushed before she moved her head between Nellie's thighs and licked all over head "Come on Nellie," she whispered pushing the tip of her tongue into her warm flesh "flood my face."

Nellie gasped softly and groaned at Coral's words pushing closer to her face tightening her grip on Coral's hair. "C-coral..."

James pulled out gently and kissed along his wife's back panting rubbing her side.

Pulling out her tongue Coral tired to ignore her husband, she was now focused of Nellie. She looked up to Nellie and smirked "I said," she leant back down "flood my face, go on." She shoved her tongue back into Nellie, lapping and licking around inside of her.

Nellie groaned louder arching up to her more and holding her tighter and screaming out her name as she came again falling back panting heavily.

James groaned softly kissing her neck lightly.

"Good girl." Whispered Coral as she watched Nellie and sighed at the touch of James' lip against her flesh. "See Nellie, just you and me." She wanted to annoys James, tease him with the two of them being together "My fingers deep inside you. My tongue over your breasts."

Nellie whimpered softly arching up to her more still panting heavily. "P-please love. Have t'catch my breath." She said softly.

James pulled Coral back and laid her opposite of Nellie and slowly pushed into her again above her this time.

Gasping Coral arched up to her husband before she looked to one side at Nellie. Her hands gripped the bed sheets tightly "Ohh, god!" she moaned feeling no more pain, just pure mind blowing pleasure.

Nellie whimpered softly at the lack of contact and looked over seeing her Coral laying beneath her husband and watching her biting her lip shuddering.

James groaned moving faster pushing deeper into her and kneading her breasts gently kissing along her neck still.

"Mm!" groaned Coral as she shut her eyes before she snapped her hand out, grabbing one of Nellie's breasts before rolling her hips faster and harder against James before her eyes rolled back in delight as she pictured Nellie above her. It wasn't James in her; it was Nellie's soft fingers damping her.

Nellie gasped holding over Coral's hand groaning softly and biting her lip harder.

James moved faster groaning Coral's name as he came shoving in deeper.

Moaning Coral arched up once more time as she came around her husband before she fell back, her hand still gripping tightly onto Nellie's breast, she turned her head towards Nellie's once more and lightly winked.

Nellie moaned softly turning her head kissing Coral rubbing her side gently and sliding her leg around Coral as James rolled off and moved over her.

Giggling Coral held onto Nellie's hips and looked to James "Well now, my husband, you can see what really happens." She smirked to him and began to kiss Nellie, her fingers pinching at her nipples.

Nellie groaned softly ignoring James and leaning down kissing over Coral's breasts taking the nipple into her mouth and sucking rubbing Coral's thighs.

James watched in shock rubbing himself some before scooting a bit closer to Nellie.

Shutting her eyes, a smile on her face, Coral rolled her hips up towards Nellie feeling pleasure rip through her for the third time, though this time the pleasure was stronger with her pale angel. Her eyes snapped open and she hissed lightly seeing James move closer in warning. She wouldn't have him near her beautiful woman.

Nellie didn't notice him biting lightly sucking more and swallowing as her mouth filled up gently sliding two fingers into her Coral moving slowly.

James ignored his wife as well pushing Nellie down closer to Coral moving behind her kissing Nellie's shoulder lightly feeling her tremble beneath him.

Coral moaned feeling those beautiful fingers into her before her eyes flicked to James. She grabbed Nellie, not caring that the finger s slid from her. "Dont touch her." She hissed to James shoving him back "You watch, don't touch her. She's my Nellie. I refuse to let you touch her after what you've said. After you hit her." She looked to Nellie who was now behind her. She remembered what Nellie had asked her, she'd let the three of them be together but she didn't want James touching her, she'd fight for her Nellie.

Nellie bit her lip pressing closer to Coral holding her tighter burying her face in Coral's shoulder from behind wrapping her arms around her waist.

"She deserved what she got and so do you. I can do what I like Coral. If you get fuck the whore then I don't see why I can't as well. You don't own her. That bloke she's marrying does."

Coral smirked "So much for your little suck up act this morning." Her hands gripped onto Nellie's "Dont you dare call her a whore! Dont you dare." She snapped "Get out or watch. You've got the choice; now make it before I make it for you."

"No. This is ridiculous Coral! She /stabbed/ me! Doesn't that mean something to you? I'm your husband damnit!"

"Yeah, she stabbed you because you were taking my daughter." She sneered gripping Nellie tighter "Now, get out please. I couldn't give a crap what you are to me. While there isn't a ring on my finger I mean nothing to you." She looked away "Just go. You should be rested with that stabbed back and all."

"Then put the ring on because you mean everything to me. I've told you that before. It's not my fault you choose not to listen. So just stop this and move."

"I refuse." She whispered before she turned back to Nellie "Alright love?" she smiled stroking her cheek with a small grin."Now, where were we? Ah, I remember." She giggled and pushed her lips against Nellie's.

Nellie hesitated kissing her back still keeping her eye on James before moaning softly kissing her more moaning softly.

Giggling Coral wrapped her arms around Nellie's neck pushing her closer to her once more before she lay down and pulled Nellie, over her "I love your skin," she whispered licking and nibbling at her arms "my pale angel."

Nellie sighed softly keeping her eyes shutting and biting Coral's lip gently and kissing along her neck moaning her name in her ear.

James narrowed his eyes at Coral and sat there. Waiting patiently.

Moaning softly Coral moved to lick along Nellie's neck to her earlobe "I won't let him touch you," she whispered deep into her ear "I'd fight for you. Really." Pulling back she sucked at Nellie's breasts before she lay down and let her angel do whatever she wanted to her.

Nellie groaned softly kissing Coral hard sliding her hands down her arms grabbing her wrists pinning them beside her head. "Hush love."

Smirking Coral looked at James wildly before she turned her attention back to Nellie. Rolling her hips up Coral whined gently feeling her inners pulse for her friend already. She wanted James to watch, she knew he would, she wanted him to know what herself and Nellie were really like, how they loved, how pure and wonderful it was.

Nellie held her tighter pressing closer to her kissing Coral more and biting her lip gently, releasing her arms and rubbing Coral's sides moving lower.

Purring lightly Coral grabbed Nellie's hands and pushed them down her body "Oh, I need you already." muttered Coral feeling that throb between her legs.

Nellie smirked pulling her hands back up to Coral's hips kissing along her neck biting gently.

"Nellie... I... please!" moaned Coral, her eyes shutting together, she was so hot already, and she wanted this woman so badly "Oh look, I'm soaked for you already. Please dear!" Her eyes flicked to James as he watched them before she let out a little snort of laughter "Nellie, fuck me, with your fingers, now!"

Nellie laughed softly shaking her head kissing along her collar bone up to her neck. "No' ye' love. Definie'ly no' ye'." She whispered flicking her tongue over her earlobe.

Smirking Coral gripped Nellie's back, arching up a little so their chest were pushed together a small moan leaving her mouth before she pulled up to Nellie's ear "Are you enjoying him look like such a spoilt brat as I am?" she whispered to Nellie a smile of pleasure and lust of her face.

Nellie moaned softly pressing closer to Coral kissing her before she could finish her sentence, not wanting to be reminded that that man was there. He didn't deserve her Coral. Not one bit.

Groaning Coral let her hand slip between their two moving bodies and gripped Nellie's hand. Her knee came up and rubbed itself between her angel, a smirk falling onto Coral face as she done so. If James was going to watch she might as well just try and pleasure Nellie to the max.

Nellie moaned louder into Coral's mouth holding her tighter and gripping her thigh more before burying her face in Coral's neck kissing gently before pushing two fingers into her finally.

Flinging her head back a gasp left Coral's mouth. Opening her eyes she looked to Nellie and smirked, her hand gripping tighter on her breast, the knee rubbing harder at her. Panting Coral arched off the bed, her hips rolling upwards to Nellie's fingers were trapped between her own and Coral's.

Nellie sucked on her neck panting softly moaning and biting down as Coral pressed her knee into her more and added a third finger into Coral moving her hand faster and rubbing her clit with her thumb.

"Nellie." Moaned Coral, her hips rolling with the fingers in time. Putting her knee down at hands weaved round the side of Nellie and gripped her bum, her nails running lightly over the flesh before they moved closer and closer to the centre of her thighs. Her body was so filled with pleasure but she wasn't going to stop, not yet, she'd drag this out for as long as she could.

Nellie groaned soflty rocking her hips closer to Coral kissing down chest and kissing over her breasts lightly licking around her nipple teasingly before taking it into her mouth sucking and shoving her fingers deeper into Coral.

Coral was panting by now, her body want to explode but she wouldn't let it happen. Moaning she pushed Nellie backwards and leant over her. Her hips now pushed down onto Nellie's fingers, screams of delight coming from her mouth, sweat pouring down her stomach. "Oh shit!" she whimpered leaning down to suck violently at Nellie's breasts, neck and ears.

Nellie bit her lip gasping as coral pushed her back and wrapped her legs around her waist whimpering softly and pushing up to her before rolling them over holding Coral down panting onto her neck moving her fingers faster. "C'mon love..."

James watched the two women longer unable to stop from rubbing himself and smirked as Nellie pinned down Coral once more and moved behind her lightly rubbing her side moving her legs farther apart knowing they wouldn't notice much right at the moment.

Shutting her eyes Coral whimpered and shook her head "Dont want to," she panted before a moan of delight left her mouth and her back arched up "oh, not yet!" Rolling her hips harder against Nellie's soft fingers Coral imagined them together, doing this all the time, forever, if she could've focused on James, and not Nellie's pumping fingers then she'd of jumped up and hit him for being so rude.

"Yes please love." Nellie murmured sucking along Coral's neck pushing her fingers as deep as she could and ignoring James shutting her eyes tight focusing all on her Coral beneath her as gorgeous as ever.

James groaned softly pushing Nellie forward some as he moved closer behind her before pushing into her quickly from behind grunting.

Leaning upwards Coral wrapped one arm around the back on Nellie's neck before she whispered "My Nellie." In her ear before she grabbed Nellie's hand, shoving the fingers deeper into her till suddenly a few loud screams escaped from Coral's mouth as she came, flooding Nellie's fingers in her fluids. Her whole body shock before one orgasm led to another and before she knew it Coral was laying on her back, her eyes closed, and her arms gripping Nellie's shoulders while she panted for breath.

Nellie moaned softly kissing Coral and gasping biting her lip as James pushed into her burying her face in Coral's neck more whimpering softly still panting leaving her fingers in place for the moment.

James held her hips tighter digging his fingers into Nellie as he started moving faster pulling her back to him by her hips as he moved making her move with him.

Opening her eyes Coral gasped before she smirked. She looked to James before they turned Nellie around onto her back. Looking to Nellie she leant down, kissing Nellie's cheek "Hmm, now you can lap me up." She whispered before she straddled Nellie faces. Grabbing James she pulled her husband closer as he took Nellie. They both face each other as Coral grabbed one of his hands and put in onto her breasts before she moved in and kissed his lips.

Nellie bit her lip and just held Coral tighter as they moved her about, shutting her eyes tight as James pushed into her again moving faster and bit Coral's thigh lightly.

James groaned and held his wife closer slamming into Nellie harder and squeezing Coral's breasts kissing her back.

Coral moaned pushed her hips nearer to Nellie's face, letting out a soft whimper and she crushed her lips into her husbands, her arms wrapping around his neck, pulling him in closer. She grabbed his hand on her breasts, ran it over her body, down to her folds before she placed it back onto her tit with a groan.

Nellie whimpered softl as James moved harder and faster and held Coral tighter slowly licking her up trying to take her mind off the pain she was starting to feel and the hurt.

James groaned into Coral's mouth slamming into Nellie harder and squeezing his wife more before grunting as he came groaning Coral's name.

Gasping Coral easy came for her beautiful angel. She kissed James once more before she rolled over onto her back and pulled Nellie close to her, kissing her forehead lightly "I love you." She whispered deep into her ear, a happy smile on her face as her skin burned with the touch of Nellie, no one could have her in such as a way, not like her best friend.

Nellie pulled away as James fell back down beside Coral and licked her lips wiping her mouth as she got up on shaky legs starting to get dressed.

"Nellie? Come back here, lay with me," whispered Coral, a frown on her face as she leant up on her elbows "please?" She looked to James, seeing him panting for breath making her smirk lightly before she gently stood up of the bed her hand out to Nellie.

Nellie shook her head moving further away trying to get her clothes on shutting her eyes tight feeling tears sting at them. "No."

"What is the matter, sweetheart?" muttered Coral as she walked closer to Nellie, her hands around her chest as she went "Dont go. Stay here. Please, I beg you."

"Go away. No. Ya lied. M'no' stayin' here. Jus'... leave me be. Shouldn' have lis'ened to ya." Nellie muttered wiping at her eyes fumbling with the strings on her corset.

"I didn't lie. How have I lied?" Coral frowned before she grabbed Nellie "Dont do this, not again. I need you here with me Nellie, you should be with me. Lets on continue with the fighting," she whimpered lightly "please."

"I /asked/ ua no' to. An' ya said... Ya lied. I tol' ya I didn' wanna be with him bu' ya don' care. Ya two jus' do as ya bloody please only carin' bou' yerselves. So no. M'no' stayin'!" She yelled pulling away from Coral again.

"I didn't bloody know!" Said Coral "You were the one who just lay there and let him do it to you, you should've screamed or something, I thought you were fine with it!" She shook her head and looked away before taking a few steps back "Guess you'll want to go home to that bloke of yours." She muttered rubbing her arms lightly.

"I tol' ya before! An' i' doesn' bloody ma'er where m'goin'. M'no' stayin' here." Nellie said shaking her heading fixing her dress and pulling off the ring tossing it at Coral. "Give tha' t'him. Tell Vi I love her an' Billy. I's the leas' ya could bloody do." She spat slamming the door behind her as she left.

Gasping Coral grabbed her robe from the side and pulled it around her before she ran down after Nellie "Wait! Where are you going! Nellie, come back!" she grabbed Nellie's arm and tugged her back "What the hell are you talking about! If you dare leave! I won't let you," tears stung her eyes "please! Dont leave me."

"Why shouldn' I? I bloody tol' ya! Ya said ya would make him leave me be. I trus'ed ya. Clearly i' was ye' another o'my many mistakes. Tha's all I seem t'bloody make. mistakes."

"Mistakes that I'd do over and over again." She sighed and looked down before she suddenly snapped her eyes up "Let's go away." She whispered as her plan spilled from her mouth "Me you, the children, let's go. I don't want James, just you. I don't care what people say. We can go home and be together." She pulled the robe tighter around her and stepped nearer to Nellie "Please? I'll never be complete without you lying next to me when I wake up and go to sleep."

Nellie bit her lip sighing softly. She could never refuse the woman. Coral was just too much. Too much of a very good thing. She sighed softly leaning into her resting her head on Coral's shoulder. "M'so bloody tired o'this."

Coral bit her lip and wrapped her arms around Nellie. She loved that woman too much to care about anything else. It was always Nellie, no matter where she was or what she was doing there was Nellie, once again, in her mind, against her body, and her lips against Coral's own. "Then let's go, me and you, we'll run away and live that dream of living by the sea together."

Nellie laughed softly holding Coral tight. "We're already by the sea love. We can' jus' leave though. I mean wha' abou' tha' poor girl? Go her eyes on you." she teased. "Wouldn' she be ou' a job though really?"

Giggling Coral pulled back a little and kissed Nellie's forehead "You're the only girl I want. The only one I truly need." She nodded slightly "I guess she will be, me and you will cope well enough, but I'll find her someone where nice that pays well for her job." She stroked Nellie's neck lightly "We can do this. It's waiting for us to take it, so let's go."

"Good. Would ha'e t'see her ou' on the stree's or somethin' like tha'. Maybe we can steal off on a boa' an' go t'America. I's fairly new ya know. M'sure there's lo's o'places we can fin' by the sea."

"America?" whispered Coral as she bit her lip once more "I don't really know much about that place but I'd go to the ends of the earth for you sweetheart. So, let's do it. Though, we'll go when James is at work, ok. We'll go soon. I need to go, I want to be with you forever Nellie."

"Neither do I. Bu' some women in the shop the other day were talkin' bou' i'. Said there's lo's o'room there. They aren' so differen' really. Jus' speak differen'." Nellie said shrugging.

Smiling Coral kissed Nellie on the lips "Let's do it. I want to go. As soon as we can! Let's leave England, have a fresh new start. Just you, me and the children."

Nellie kissed her back pulling her closer. "I love ya Coral. I really do." She murmured squeezing her gently.

"And I love you even more. I cannot wait to be with you for real Nellie. To curl up in bed with you, to wrap my arms around you all the day, to be touching you without any worry." Coral smiled and nuzzled close to Nellie "I love you so, so much."

Nellie held her tighter smiling. "When are we goin' love? M'ready whenever ya are. Jus' say the word."

"Tomorrow." whispered Coral eager to go "When James is at work, and then he won't be there to annoy me. I'll get all the money I have from the bank and you can find a boat."

She nodded smiling kissing her again holding her tight. "Anythin' ya say love. M'all yers." She murmured kissing her once more.

Smiling Coral kissed her back before she blushed "Dont say that, makes it sound like I own you, I don't you are your own person Nellie."

Nellie smirked leaning into her more. "Ya do though. Every inch o'me. All yers."

"Hmm, I like every little millimetre of you sweetheart." She kissed her head "Now, I should do back before he starts wondering where I am. You should go too, get Violet and Billy ready?"

Nellie sighed softly kissing her again nodding. "Soon though. M'gonna go ge' somethin' t'drink real quick." She said slipping away heading to the kitchen.

Laughing Coral followed her back in "Sure, help yourself. Just be quick, James is upstairs, and no going overboard, I need you sober thanks."

Nellie smiled some evetually finding the kithen then began digging around looking for a glass.

"Here Nellie." Muttered Coral opening a bottom cupboard and pulled two glasses out "I'll have one too. Just one! For the both of us."

"I woulda foun' i. Eventualy ya know. Promise." She smirked sitting at the table sipping at her drink some.

Laughing Coral picked her glass up from the table and stood behind Nellie before she bent down and kissed her cheek "I'll finally be able to set up that shop. And you can come and help me!"

"Well o'course. Anythin' ya wan' remember? I mean i'. Jus' say the word love. We'll do anythin' a' all." Nellie said leaning back into her some.

Sighing Coral wrapped one of her arms loosely around Nellie's neck "It's your choice Nellie. You don't have to it you don't want to." She blushed lightly "Oh stop this, you can do what you wish, and I'm not taking control over that."

"Coral, ya know I'll do anythin' ya wan'. I don' care. Long as I have you righ' there with me. I love ya."

"And I love you too." smiled Coral as she quickly finished her drink and nibbled Nellie's neck lightly before she pulled back and put her cup in the sink "I'm all excited now. I cannot wait just to get away with you."

Nellie laughed softly turning in her chair to watch her sipping at her drink more. "Oh ge' yer pretty li'le arse up there woman." She said winking.

"Well hurry up and your juicy little arse out so you can go and pack!" teased Coral, kissing her quickly before she ran upstairs, she had to act nice to her husband for the moment "James!" she called running back into their room "Have you recovered yet love?" she giggled.

Nellie laughed osftly sipping at her drink still watching Coral go.

James groaned looking over rolling his eyes. "I'm trying to sleep here you know."

Smirking Coral walked over to him and crawled across the bed "Aw, did we tire you all out?" she giggled and kissed his cheek. Ugh, she hated trying to act so nice but she was just too excited to care.

James yawned and pulled Coral closer wrapping an arm around her waist kissing her. "I doubt that. Just didn't sleep much last night."

"Aw, poor James." Laughed Coral, kissing him quickly before she lay next to him "You've got work tomorrow, would you mind getting some shopping afterwards," she needed some time to pack and this was a good excuse "we're running out of food and milk for Bella."

"That depends. What does my wife have planned for dinner tomorrow?" James asked stretching yawning again.

Coral thought for a big, she needed to him to stall for a while "Well have a roast, get everything you can, all the trimmings, everything!" she smiled before getting up to check on the twins and Bella whom were all asleep.

James eventually fell asleep and curled up to Coral's pillow.

Nellie finished her glass and slipped out heading home holding her coat tightly around herself.

Biting her lip Coral stroked James' hair as he slept before she sighed and shut her eyes. This was their last night together and she couldn't help but feel a little saddened by it. Moving closer to him she wrapped her arms around him, waiting for the morning when she would leave, forever, with Nellie.

James pulled her closer holding her tight kissing her neck. "Mmm. Coral." He murmured in his sleep pulling ehr closer to him rubbing her back.

"Shh love, just sleep." She whispered stroking his cheek, like tears in her eyes before she shook her head and buried her head into his chest.

James kissed the top of her head murmuring her name again scratching himself.

Biting her lip Coral sighed and stroked his arm as he slept before she shut her eyes and rolled over onto her free side.

He scooted closer holding her waist burying his face in her hair.

Nellie got home and began doing the laundry and baking some bread and such. Things they could take with them.

Coral stayed up that night, crying to herself, as much as she hated him she would miss her husband. He was the real first person whom wanted to her from the moment they met, he was kind, gentle – most of the time and he was the father of their three beautiful children. Yes, she'd miss him. Slowly she rolled over, as the sun rose and shook James "Love, you've got to get up, time for work."

James grumbled pulling her closer shaking his head. "Let's go out. Relax down by the water. Just us and the kids for the day."

She pulled herself away and shook her head "No, go to work," she muttered as she climbed out of bed and pulled her robe over her once more "I need you to get shopping, so please just go to work."

"We can go shopping after the beach dearest. I just want to spend the day with my lovely wife and children. I'm sorry Coral. For everything. I'll apologize to her. I didn't mean to."

"I said go to work." Hissed Coral picking out a new dress to put on before she stormed out the room, slamming the door behind her and swearing lightly. Damn! She needed him to go, or else.

James sighed sitting up dropping his head into his hand rubbing his temples and pulling on some shorts and trousers following her. "Coral please my dear. Listen to me."

"No," snapped Coral going into Bella's room before she leant over the cot seeing her daughter asleep as she tucked her into Nellie's little blankets she'd made "I said go to work. So do it. I don't want a bloody day on the beach." Her stomach twisted, she felt sick, it was more or likely because she hadn't eaten since the two days ago or it might just be nerves.

"Well what /do/ you want? I want to make it all up to you? I love you Coral. Please. Just tell me what I can do. I can take you to see her, then I can even apologize. Juse please Coral. I refuse to let my selfish jealousy come between us."

"I want you to go to work; we need the money and the food. Bella has no milk, so go and get some after work, thank you." She muttered kissing her daughter cheek and pulled out some fresh cloths for Alice to put on her for the morning.

James sighed walking over to kiss her cheek before shaking his head turning back to the room, his shoulders slumped over going to get dressed.

Calming herself Coral rubbed her head and went downstairs needing to get some food into her stomach, she felt so empty inside.

He came down after a bit dressed and grabbed an apple. "I'll just go now. Try and have a good day Coral. I'm so sorry." He murmured heading out the door sadly.

Biting her lip Coral ran after him "James, wait!" she pulled him back and kissed him full on the lips before she pulled back. Smiling she waved him goodbye, watching him for a few moments before she turned round.

James kissed her back gladly pulling her close and grabbing her wrist as she made to go turning her back and holding her close. "I love you Coral. Always. Your my wife. I couldn't ask for anything more."

"I know," she whispered stroking his cheek before she heard Chris scream "have a nice day at work love, we'll see you later." She kissed him once more before she pulled back, she couldn't tell him she loved him too, it just wouldn't come out.

James kissed her one last time smiling brightly before letting her go and heading off to work as she'd asked.

Nibbling on her nail she waved goodbye to him before she turned, shutting the door behind her as she quickly moved upstairs, pulling bags out along with clothing, close to heart items and toys for the children before she quickly packed them into the bags.

Nellie woke up early and sighed backing up all of their bags leaving clothes to change into for the three of them and took the bags downstairs kitting at the kitchen table writing out a letter to John.

Coral sat at the table, looking at letter she'd just written to him. It showed how much she loved him, how brilliant he was but that her heart was meant for Nellie and no matter what the two women would always be drawn to each other. She thanked him for the kind words, how happy me made her feel and how proud she was of him. And finally she asked him to take care of Alice, she mentioned there was work at one of the nice manor houses and she'd told the owners all about Alice and her good work. Writing her name at the end of the paper Coral let two tears fall onto it as she promised to take care of the children and someday she'd let them find him. Brushing her eyes Coral stood up; grabbing the bags she'd packed and put her three children into their big pram, leaving her lovely house before she quickly went into the bank, taking all the money she could. Sighing she looked around the little town, one last time and she walked to Nellie's before she ended up knocking on her pale angels door.

Nellie woke up Billy and Violet and told Violet to go and shower while she took a bath with Billy making sure they both got clean and he wasn't as scared of the water anymore. She got the two of them dressed and Violet came down frowning. Nellie explained everything to the both of them and smiled some answering the door. "Ya ready then love?"

Smiling back Coral nodded "Ready as ever angel." She said as she walked inside and put a few of the lighter bags on the rack, underneath her children's pram "So, where's this boat then?" she said to Nellie, kissing her cheek lightly as they both rushed around grabbing stuff.

Violet took the loose bags while Nellie carried Billy since he was still tired. "We jus' go down there love. I'll take care o'i'." She said leading them down and handing Billy over to Violet and talking to some of the sailors eventually getting them onto the boat. "Two rooms. Jus' follow those blokes." She said scooping up Billy again.

Nodding Coral let the men take them onto the ship, lead them down a few corridors till both Nellie and Coral were shown their rooms. Thanking them Coral shoved their bags under the bed and lay the twins down onto it before she let Bella roam around on the floor. Smiling she looked to Nellie "We've half done it dear." She smiled pulling her into a hug.

Nellie smiled sighing softly hugging her back with one arm still holding Billy. "M'gonna lay him down in the other room."

Kissing Billy's head Coral nodded before she went back to her twins and scooped Bella up from the floor, a little guilt seeping into her knowing they'd grow up without James, but they had other mummy now, they had Nellie.

Violet sighed softly sitting on the bed with the twins. "How old are they? Their cu'e."

Coral smiled at Violet before she turned to the twins "Oh, they're about a month or so now, time goes by quick. Do you want to hold one of them?"

"Alrigh'. I's been ages since Billy was tha' li'le." She said smiling sitting up more.

Laughing lightly Coral put Bella back onto the floor before she scooped up little Nellie and passed her to Violet "Hmm, that's Nellie. Little gem isn't she?" she said before she sat back down and picked up Chris who reminded her so much of James.

"Oh she's so li'le. Even now I mean. She looks jus' like ya." Violet said smiling tickling her belly gently.

Looking up Coral beamed at Violet "Thank you sweetheart. She's got the mind of your mother though, she can be a little drama queen when she wants."

"Oh please. All li'le girls are like tha'. No' jus' mum." Violet said shaking her head.

Laughing Coral kissed Chris head and winked to Violet "Ah, but your mother takes it to a whole new level. But, I love her for it."

Violet laughed some rocking the baby girl gently. "She's asleep."

Looking over to little Nellie Coral sighed "Thank God for that, you're a natural Vi, usually takes me a good few hours to get her settled." She smiled and patted Chris' back and smiled "She likes you."

She shrugged smiling. "I would get Billy to sleep too."

"Then you have a gift many mothers would pay for." Said Coral as she lay Chris down besides her, leant over the bed and scooped up Bella before the ship suddenly moved "We must be going!" smiling Coral got off her bed, went over to the window and nodded "America here we come."

Violet laughed softly and scooped up Chris and little Nellie again going into the other room with them. "May as well have a nap with 'em." She said coming back for Bella as Nellie came back in.

Nodding Coral thanked Violet before she looked at Nellie, a smile on her face as they looked at each other for a moment before Coral reached out and stroked Nellie's cheek their eyes looking one another.

Nellie smiled watching Violet take the kids and shut the door locking it going over to Coral and wrapping her arms around Coral's neck kissing her gently.

Coral kissed her back for a moment before she pulled back, tilted Nellie's head to one side, flicked her hair over the other shoulder as she leant down at sucked, hard, at the vein that pulsed up the side of Nellie's neck making sure it left a mark as she done so.

Nellie gasped softly pulling Coral closer moaning softly and rubbing along her sides holding her tight. "We're free Coral." She whispered smiling.

Smiling in agreement Coral pulled back slightly to admire the love bite on the pure white neck, her lips and breath lingering near to Nellie's skin before she gripped her hips, forcing her closer as her tongue trailed up her neck till she reached her jaw line which she kissed and sucked at. She could never get enough of her angel's skin.

Nellie gasped softly as Coral pulled her closer and tilted her head catching Coral's lips once more moaning softly. "I love ya."

"Hmm," moaned Coral against Nellie's lips "and I love you even more." Smirking she pushed Nellie back till she hit the wall before she bent down, rolled up her angels skirts to her hips as her fingernails trailed over her warm, soft thighs. Her lips kissed the corner of Nellie's mouth before they moved down her body, jaw line, neck, till they reached the tops of her breasts.

"Tha's no' possible." Nellie protested before gasping hitting the wall and tilting her head back biting her lip groaning softly spreading her legs for her shuddering.

Gently Coral began to slide down Nellie's undergarments, her fingers feeling up each bit of skin she revealed before she pulled Nellie's corset away from her chest so she could fit her tongue in the gap, a moan escaping her lips as the tip of her warm tongue found Nellie's nipple "Oh, but it is possible," she whispered "you've no idea how much I love you."

Nellie threw her head back moaning louder and tugging Coral's dress open. "S-same goes t'you love. I can' ever love anyone as much as I love ya. I's no' possible. Yer so bloody amazin'."

Giggling Coral put her fingers over Nellie's lips, their faces close together "Shh, everyone will hear you little angel." She smiled and walked backwards, pulling Nellie with her before she slowly lowered her onto the bed and sighed, "No darling. It's you that is the amazing one. I'd be lost without you. You caught me from day one; my love will be undying for you." Leaning down she pulled the undergarments off completely before she slowly started to unlace the top of Nellie's chest so she could bite and lick at whatever skin was shown to her.

Nellie arched up to Coral moaning louder biting her lip trying to keep quiet shuddering. "No love. I need ya. Yer a par' o' me. A very very big par' love. Yer my hear'. I's yers. Ya own i'."

"Nellie, hush dear, you my love are my life source. You make my heart pound all the time, everyday. Without you it'd die. Everything is yours. You own everything of me." She smiled, kissing Nellie quickly before she had the corset completely undone. Her fingers pushed, tugged and brushed over her nipples before she bent down and kissed and tongued at her flat stomach.

Nellie whimpered softly sitting up and pushing Coral up quickly fumbling with the laces on her clothes. "I need t'feel ya love. So bad."

Shaking her head Coral gripped Nellie's wrists and pushed her back down "No, not till I'm done with you, my little gem." She smiled and wove her hand up Nellie' thigh, pulled her skirt off and kissed deep into her chest. Slowly her fingers brushed over Nellie's warm, wet flesh before she lifted the to her lips and slowly cleaned the dots of fluids off them.

Nellie whimpered sitting up again reaching for her insistently. "Please Coral... I have t'feel ya. See ya, tas'e ya." She pleaded biting her lip tugging at Coral's skirts.

"Nellie. Lay down. You've got a whole life time ahead of me," she muttered pushing her back down "you can wait." She smirked and pushed her angel's legs wider apart "It's my turn first." Giggling she put two of her fingers together "These have got to push deep into you first. I want to feel you tighten around me. I want to feel you drench them." Tilting her head she licked her lips before she pushed her fingers into Nellie.

Nellie laid back biting her lip groaning softly watching her Coral. Her legs trembling as she spread her legs wider feeling herself get even wetter moaning softly arching up to her. "Mmm. Coral."

"Your soaked Nellie." whispered Coral lustfully as she moved her fingers slowly in and out of her, a moan leaving her lips. She bit at Nellie's ear lode, pushed their hips closer to get before her thumb pushed against Nellie's clit "Hmm, so tight Nellie, how you pull my poor fingers in." She giggled feeling herself getting turned on by her own words.

Nellie whimpered softly pushing her hips up to Coral more grabbing fistfulls of sheets shuddering. "Oh fuck... please Coral... more. I need more of ya. So bad love."

"Aww, does little Nellie want me to slam," she pulled her fingers out fully before she drove them back into the soaked flesh "my fingers deep into her? Does she want me to," she picked her speed up, a moan leaving her mouth "fuck her till she cannot stand?"

Nellie nodded gasping gripping the sheets tighter whimpering louder moaning as she did it again and groaning louder nodding insistently. "Y-yes. Yes! So hard!"

"Then Nellie has to be quiet." Cooed Coral before she began to slam her fingers hard into Nellie as her other hand came down and rubbed against her clit. Panting she drove her fingers in as fast as she could, the wetness of Nellie drowning her fingers as she done so.

Nellie nodded before moaning louder arching up to her even more. "Oh fuck Coral! I-I can'... I oh fuckin' hell... I -yer, Oh god..." Nellie dug her nails into the bed writhing on the now damp sheets.

"Quiet Nellie, quiet!" teased Coral before she pushed her lips against her lovers in order to shut her up. Her fingers slammed harder into Nellie, her other hand rubbing hard at her clit. A deep, throaty moan left her mouth as her moved her body against Nellie's, how soaked their bodies were.

Nellie moaned with her pulling Coral closer grinding her hips up against her hand panting heavily. "Coral..."

Smirking Coral drove her fingers in deep, curling them and spacing them apart as she done so "Come on Nellie," she teased as she pulled at the bottom of Nellie's lip with her teeth "I can feel you wanting to explode all round my hand!"

Nellie nodded panting Coral's name arching up to Coral's body pressing them together moaning loudly catching her lips again biting gently.

Pulling her fingers out, swapping her hands over before she dived her fresher finger back in, tugging them around inside of the warm, sticky flesh "Go on Nellie. Come for me!"

Nellie held Coral tighter moving with her and arched up crying out Coral's name as she came panting heavily.

Smirking Coral kissed her cheek quickly "Good girl Nellie." She cooed lightly before she pulled her fingers out of the soft folds before she moaned, lifting them to her mouth as she sucked and flicked her tongue over her now milky fingers.

Nellie moaned softly biting her lip looking up at Coral still panting her name softly, her dark chocolate eyes locked on Coral's fingers watching the woman lustfully.

Sucking her fingers Coral moved them down, to wipe against Nellie's clit once more before she dropped her head and nipped and sucked on the inside of Nellie's thighs, one fingertip slowly pushed into her as she done so.

Nellie whimpered gasping softly arching her back automatically. "Bloody hell Coral...mmm."

"Ohh, do you like that Nellie?" whispered Coral, a small smile on her face before she moved deeper between her legs as she tugged and bit gently at Nellie's clit, her tongue moving over her as she done so.

"Oh god yes Coral... S-so good... Don'-Don' stop love..." Nellie moaned writhing beneath Coral pulling her closer tangling a hand in Coral's hair biting her lip hard.

Giggling Coral ran her hands down Nellie's thighs as her tongue danced over her angel's clit. Slowly, and steadily she pushed it into the warm flesh before she drove it deep into Nellie. Smirking she moved it around it circles, teasing all she could whilst her hands gripped hard at Nellie's breasts.

Nellie bit her lip harder drawing blood and tightened her grip on Coral's hair panting and arching up to her more groaning loud trying to be quiet as she came again.

Sighing happily Coral licked her lips before she giggled and pulled herself from the bed. "There, that's better." She smirked before she sorted her dress out and unlocked the door as she waved, winked and left the room.

Nellie fell back panting heavily and frowned watching her go pulling the sheet over herself. "Coral..."

Laughing Coral walked quickly down the corridor and made her way onto the deck. How she loved to tease. Shutting her eyes she let the salty air hit her face before she sighed and walked around, her eyes on the sea. Freedom. She was free... her and Nellie. Forever.

Nellie whimpered softly and curled up on her side burying her face in the pillow pulling the sheet overself more.

Walked around the ship for a few hours before she spotted a champagne bottle that was left outside someone's room. Biting her lip Coral giggled and quickly snatched the bottle up before she ran back to hers and Nellie's room before she slammed the door behind her and jumped onto the bed "Look what I got!" she snug holding the bottle up.

Nellie had eventually fallen to sleep grumbling some as Coral came in pulling the sheet closer rolling onto her stomach turning her head the other way still very much asleep.

"Nellie!" giggled Coral as she crept across the bed and straddled her back "I go some nice champagne!" she smirked and kissed her back "Wakey wakey!"

Nellie groaned holding the pillow tighter waving at her. "M'sleepin'. Yer no' nice." She grumbled burying her face again.

Holding back the temptation to laugh Coral pulled at the pillow "Oh! That's mean, I was being nice!" she pouted and crossed her arms slightly.

She grumbled in protest holding her pillow tighter shaking some making Coral move. "Meanie."

"No! I'm the most lovely person in the world." Smirked Coral before she pushed her hips down onto Nellie's back once she'd climbed back into her "Wake up or I'll pour this all over and lick it up."

"I doub' ya had somethin' much differen' in min' love." She murmured into the pillow yawning starting to drift back to sleep.

Raising her eyebrows Coral scoffed before she pulled the cork from the top of the bottle, lifted it high above Nellie's back before she tilted it and poured half of it all over her stunning white back.

Nellie gasped stiffening beneath her shuddering. "Coral!" Nellie bit her lip picturing Coral sitting on her without a thing on as she did that, making the woman scream her name as she fucked her hard.

Giggling Coral leant down over Nellie "Aww, did I get you all soaked again?" she smirked before her tongue swept over Nellie's back lapping up all the sparkling wine from her as she done so.

Nellie gasped softly shuddering arching her back moaning Coral's name softly and turning over beneath her staring up at her lustfully. "Ya did. Very much so love."

Licking her lips Coral drank a little of the drink before she tugged Nellie's covers off her body. "Hmm, I know, but I can't help it." She smirked pouring the rest of the bottle content over Nellie's stomach and breasts before she sucked it clean of her skin.

Nellie watched the woman above her smirking picturing her naked still and arched up to the wine tilting her head back shuddering as some dribbled down her neck.

Greedily Coral pushed the bottle away as she lapped up all she could. Her hands ran over Nellie's breasts, squeezing them lightly whilst her tongue flicked all over her body, a moan falling from her mouth as she made her way down her stomach.

Nellie bit her lip gripping the sheets moaning holding herself back from ripping that dress clean off of her. No she'd let Coral have her bit of fun and think she was gonna get her.

Moving down lower Coral kissed her way down Nellie's thighs, her hands rubbing into the warming champagne. Her eyes flicked over Nellie's, stunning naked body before she started to picture them, their bodies rubbing together, their lips over one another. God, she loved this woman.

Nellie moaned softly and couldn't take it anymore, pulling Coral up and rolling them over quickly tugging her clothes off kissing her hard, desperate for this woman moaning into her mouth.

Kissing her back Coral smirked against her skin before she moved her lips away from Nellie's. Her eyebrows raised and she licked her lip "I wasn't done with that champagne that I nicked!"

"Tha's entirely too bad righ' now. Because yer in some bloody trouble young lady. Very very big trouble." she murmured kissing down long Coral's neck as she stripped her.

Scoffing Coral ran her nails over Nellie's back, refusing to let the seductive woman get one over on her. "Well, if you don't mind I was kind of busy." She raised her eyebrows and pretended to yawn "Aww, would could a little thing like you do to me? Hmm, Angel?" She loved trying to be so dominant when it came to her a Nellie's sex life. She was more powerful then Nellie, by far, but Nellie was the stronger one in the relationship, Coral just followed her with such love.

Nellie moaned softly rocking her hips into Coral's rubbing them together biting her lip. "Mmmm. Depen's on how nice m'feelin' doesn' i'? May be small bu' doesn' mean I can' handle you."

Coral shut her eyes, rolling back into Nellie's hips before she shook her head and pushed her away. Laughing playfully she tugged at Nellie's feet till she fell backwards "Oh, but you look so yummy when you're underneath me." If Nellie wanted to play then she'd play right back "And nothing handles me, ever." Poking her tongue out she licked along Nellie's jaw line before she bit at her chin.

Nellie gasped softly looking up at Coral shuddering feeling her thighs dampen watching her Coral. Hers. That thought alone could drive her wild. "Mmm. Bu' I know ya love' when I handle ya darlin'." She whispered grabbing Coral's wrists pulling and flipping them over again pinning her down rubbing against her more in doing so.

"Maybe I do," smirked Coral "just a little." Biting her lip seductively she rolled her hips faster and deeper against Nellie before she let out a deep moan in order to push Nellie further before she stopped moving all together "Is that a challenge?" she whispered tugging her wrist's free from Nellie's hands before her fingers moved down her angels body and danced on her clit.

Nellie groaned softly shaking her head. "Mmmm. Righ' now i's time fer yer punishmen'. Ya haven been very good love. Lef' me in here all alone." She murmured sitting up straight on top of her. "Roll over."

"And if I don't?" whispered Coral, looking up to Nellie with a smirk on her face "What will ickle Nellie do? This?" Her hands walked over her hips, her stomach, and her breasts before they went back down and rubbed against the wetness of Nellie's thighs.

"How else do ya punish a very naugh'y li'le girl like yerself?" Nellie whispered pulling Coral's wrists away from herself ignoring the ache between her thighs for the woman. Coral came first right now. All her Coral.

Laughing out loud Coral rolled herself over "Hmm, do your worst." She smirked, looking at Nellie over her shoulder before she licked her lips and pushed her back up between Nellie's legs.

Nellie moaned softly running her hands over Coral's beautiful pale flesh trailing her lips lightly after moaning softly and leaning over her pressing her breasts into Corals' back kissing her shoulder blades and running her hand over Coral's arse before smirking pulling her hand back and hitting her just right.

Gasping Coral bit her lip and moaned lightly. Yes it hurt but that was Nellie's beautiful hand hitting her, teasing her, making her want more. Her body pushed up to Nellie's wanting her stunning body to be rubbed against her own before she snapped out of her lust and looked over her shoulder once more "Is that all you have?" she teased. Game on.

Nellie groaned softly and bit Coral's shoulder lightly pulling her hand back hitting her again and again and again. Stopping after a few more panting softly hoping Coral was alright and that she hadn't hurt the woman she loved. She would never forgive herself for such a thing.

The slapping sounds of hand to arse made Coral groan. Her body shook in delight as the pain turned into pleasure. She closed her eyes as Nellie stopped before she whimpering feeling herself drip. God, Nellie was getting her soaked already. Biting her lip she looked behind her, seeing the red hand prints on her bum before she smirked and looked up to Nellie "More." She whispered arching her back upwards.

Nellie groaned softly rubbing against Coral shifting some and pulling her other hand back and smacking her more moaning softly into Coral's back her other hand reaching around rubbing Coral's clit.

"Oh god." Moaned Coral, her hands gripping onto the bed sheets as she pushed deeper against Nellie's hand. She'd have a whole life time of this, being with her Nellie, doing stuff like this every night. She smiled at the thought before the pleasure was thrown back into her "C-can I turn round now?" she moaned wanting to rub herself all over Nellie.

Nellie nodded panting softly turning Coral over and kissing her hard rubbing her own dripping self over Coral groaning. "Oh Coral...Yer gonna be the bloody death o'me. Yer so gorgeous."

Throwing her head back Coral let her fingers trail over her own clit, scooping all the fluids she could onto them before she leaned up and wiped it over Nellie's breasts. Smirking, and panting, she pushed her mouth onto them, licking up her own sweet taste as she done so before she smirked and looked up to Nellie "Oh, so you've said. But, I don't agree."

Nellie groaned softly pressing down over Coral more every inch of them pressed together biting her lip. "No one else has ever made me this bloody we' or made me wan' them as much as you Coral. No one."

Smiling lightly Coral kissed Nellie before she moved and licked her ear "Well you don't half make me drip when you want too, Nellie." Her hands wrapped around Nellie's back before she put her feet onto the bed and opened her legs up pushing her fluids onto Nellie's stomach, a moan leaving her mouth as she done so.

Nellie groaned leaning down and kissing her back. "I' would be n honor t'take care o' tha' fer ya." She murmured sliding down and settling between Coral's thighs and inhaling the intoxicating scent a moment before leaning in licking her slowly.

"Oh please do." Whispered Coral before her body was thrown forward against Nellie's tongue "I love you." She moaned, her hands tugging on the bed sheets, her thighs shaking as they spread wider.

"I love ya too Coral." Nellie whispered slipping her tongue easily into her lapping her up inside.

Her voice strained as she tried to speak back but she soon gave up and rolled her hips against Nellie's tongue. Twist her head to one side Coral bit at the bed sheets, like she usually done when she was so turned on, in so much passion.

Nellie moaned softly into her sucking on Coral's clit and swirling her tongue spreading her own legs more pushing two fingers inside herself groaning Coral's name.

Panting Coral watched Nellie, watched the fingers and how they slid in and out of her angel with such easy. Moaning she let her foot trail upwards, meeting Nellie's hand as it helped to push her fingers in deeper. "Go on Nellie," she whispered holding on to Nellie's shoulders "fuck yourself harder and make sure you drip all over me!"

Nellie gasped moaning louder sucking harder on Coral and adding a third finger into herself pushing in deeper shuddering spreading her legs more for the woman.

Pushing the throb away from between her legs Coral pushed Nellie backwards, held her wrist and made sure that she pushed her fingers deeper and harder into herself. "God, how you do turn me on, Nellie." She whispered, sucking her neck.

Nelie moaned louder arching up to her own hand biting her lip runnign her other hand down sliding two fingers into Coral moving them at the same time. "Oh god Coral..."

"Shit!" Coral squealed as she came as soon as Nellie's fingers pushed into her. Her hand kept pushing at Nellie's wrist, making sure she got all the pleasure she needed before she collapsed forward and landed atop of her stunning, sweaty angel.

Nellie moaned louder crying out Coral's name coming with her shuddering panting softly and slowly sliding her fingers out of both of them licking Coral from her one hand.

Panting heavily, her chest heaving, Coral snatched up the hand Nellie had used on herself and lifted it to her lips before she cleaned it with her soft tongue. Shutting her eyes and lay back on top of Nellie's and sighed happily "No, I really love you." She whispered "Marry me Nellie." Course she was being stupid, but they could pretend – she'd buy Nellie a ring any day.

Nellie moaned softly to tired as Coral licked her other hand clean and smiled pulling Coral closer shutting her eyes. "I would only be so lucky t'call myself yers ferever Coral."

"You can Nellie." Coral whispered, kissing her neck lightly "You'll be mine now and forever, as I will be for you. I promise you, on my life." She smiled and laid her head onto Nellie's chest.

Nellie held her tight kissing the top of her head grinning. "M'the luckies' woman in the world t'have ya my love."

Coral shook her head "No, I am. I love you so much Nellie." She held her tighter before she began to cry. She'd no idea why she was but the thought of a life without this woman upset her so. Without her Nellie, her little angel Coral wouldn't be able to go on, not for anything.

Nellie wiped her eyes gently kissing over her eyes, her own eyes watering up. "Hush love. I love ya jus' as much Coral. Always will. M'no' leavin' ya. Ever."

Whimpering Coral gripped Nellie tighter "I'm sorry for everything I've done and whatever stupid thing I do in the future. Really I am." She whispered kissing Nellie's cleavage.

Opening the front door John walked into the house excepting to be greeted by Billy who would always run to him with open arms but today it didn't happen. Frowning he walked into the kitchen "Nellie?" he called hearing his own voice echo around him. Looking around he saw cupboards thrown open before his eyes caught a note on the side with his name on. Opening it he slowly read each word before it ended. Shaking his head, tears in his eyes he ran upstairs "Nellie? Violet! Billy!" he called hoping they'd still be there. Whimpering he ran into all the rooms to find the cupboards and draws empty of clothing's and belongings. Sitting on Billy's bed he let his head fall into his hands, his heart breaking before tears streamed down his cheek. So this was it. She loved him no more.

"I am too love. I-I jus' wan'ed t'make everythin' righ' fer ya. Was stuid o'me really." Nellie mumbled squeezing Coral tighter. "Yer everythin' t'me."

James came home with the groceries that night smiling. "Coral! I'm home now dearest!" He yelled setting the things on the kitchen table going up to their room frowning and picking up the note reading it feeling his own heartbreak with the words on the paper and shook his head. "No. No!" He yelled tossing the letter and punching a hole in the wall hardly noticing the tears running down his own face as he wrote something and signed it laying it on her pillow and heading down into his office and pulling out his gun loading it. "I love you Coral." He said softly closing his eyes and killing himself.

Coral felt her heart twang, as if she'd lost something before she smiled and looked up to Nellie "I wish I'd of ask this of you earlier. We could've got away without hurting James or John." She sighed and kissed Nellie on the lip, her hands wrapping into her hair.

"Maybe i' was all jus' mean' t'happen. So we'd know how much we need each other." Nellie said softly kissing Coral's head. "Oh I love ya so much."

"I always needed you, Nellie." Whispered Coral leaning up over her angel, a smile on her face before she kissed her full on the lips "Always. No matter what."

Nellie smiled kissing her back rubbing Coral's side curling up to her yawning and burying her face in Coral's neck falling to sleep.

Smiling Coral watched Nellie, stroking her back and her hair. She stayed up most of the night just to watch the shine on her angel's skin before she fell asleep, in the arms of the woman she loved dearly just as the sun started to rise, the light pouring into the ship window.

That was 62 pages on Word – 31,000 words :O gwahh!

This chapter.. I don't know what to make of it. I guess its happy as Nellie and Coral have got away but when Amy wrote 'bout James :| I was crying. Bless him, I wasn't expecting that.

But yesh, it's Nellie and Coral for the win. They're getting away. But whom knows what could happen.. two woman together at that time meant a ticket to the mad house!
