A/N ok guys, here is another installment for you seen as i didnt get to post yesterday. can i just say how disturbed i am by how many of you actually want Hugo to be eaten by a shark...... sharks dont generally eat humans you know.... they dont really like the taste of us.... thats why so many surfers and divers only really get one or two bites and then get left..... because the shark tastes the human blood and thinks sod that ill have fish n chips instead.... the only shark that would be likely to eat him is the Tiger shark..... if your stupid enough as a qualified diving instructor to go swimming without any protection or buddys in tiger shark infested waters..... the fastest most vicious shark there is..... you deserve to be eaten...... HOWEVER!! I dont think i want to allow sharks the bad name of man eaters just to get rid of Hugo.... i wouldnt do that to my beloved sharks..... maybe a giant squid.... like that thing off of pirates of the carribean.......

Anyways i hope you like this chapter, having a bit of writers block coz all i want to do is write the good bits and not this stuff that leads to it lol..... i will get there as quick as i can!

ENJOY!

Aden laughed as he watched miniature Charlie and Rubys running around the screen. Charlie had spent so much time playing with Ruby as a baby and a toddler. It was sweet the way they interacted.

There had been one occasion when Charlie had fallen over and cut her knee open, a four year old Ruby had wobbled over to her and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Don't cry cha cha!"

At Ruby's words Charlie had instantly calmed down and let her father clean up her knee and put a bandage on it, all the while Ruby hung onto her and soothed her, when her father had finished Ruby pulled back "Don't worry Cha Cha, me kiss it better!" Ruby bent over and laid a kiss on top of the band aid.

"Thanks Rubes, its all better now" a teenage Charlie smiled at the little girl who held her hand out to her big sister. Charlie took her hand and stood up "Come on Rubes, lets go play" Charlie smiled down at her sister who was in turn grinning goofily up at her.

" I wuv you cha cha" Ruby beamed. "I love you too Rubes" Charlie grinned down at her sister.

"You two were so cute" Joey grinned as she stood up and stretched out as the second disk finished. Her bones ached and her muscles throbbed.

Charlie grinned up at her wife "What do you mean were, I still am cute"

"Defiantly" Joey grinned as she leaned in to kiss her wife. "I'm going to head to bed, I will see you there"

Charlie grabbed Joey and lifted herself up "I'm coming now darling" They waved goodnight to Ruby and Aden and headed to their room.

"Maybe I should call it a night too" Aden smiled sadly.

"Why don't you stay, I mean not to…. I don't really want to be alone…. Its still all so raw" Ruby sighed as she leaned into her boyfriend. She hadn't thought of Aden as her boyfriend before and the realisation made her smile.

"Hey, you don't have to explain, if you want me to stay I will stay, we can just cuddle and talk" Aden grinned kissing her softly. The whole night had been spent watching home movies and picking at food, they had eaten a take away earlier that night, it felt right to him.

He couldn't shrug off the feeling that he was where he belonged, being with Ruby, with these three women it felt like home to him.

"Rubes, I want you to know, there's no pressure… when your ready, your ready. I want to make sure you know that, that I'm not going to pressure you or rush you" He smiled at Ruby.

"I know you wouldn't, your too good a person" Ruby smiled as she leaned in and kissed him. "come on lets get some sleep" Ruby grinned as she pulled Aden up by his arm and led him to her room.

Charlie allowed her hand to snake across Joeys tight stomach. Her face buried into her shoulder and hair.

"I wuv you Cha cha" Joey giggled.

"I wuv you too Joey" Charlie kissed her bare shoulder.

"Are you ok? Its going to be a big day tomorrow" Joey sighed.

"Yeah, we are older than when we buried mum, I know it will be hard but we have a whole support network, and I have you to hold my hand" Charlie forced a smile to her lips.

"I promise I will not let your hand go for a second" Joey allowed her hand to gently stroke her partners arm.

"What you said earlier, did you mean it?" Charlie allowed her gaze to focus intently on her lover.

"about what?" Joey asked confused.

"kids" Charlie said simply.

"Erm, well yeah eventually I see children in our future, don't you?" Joey felt her mouth dry out, why had she not thought to discuss this before they had married, all she had ever wanted was a child of her own and with one word Charlie could take that all away from her.

She calmed instantly when Charlie nodded slightly. " It hadn't really crossed my mind but when you said that earlier, I don't know all I could think about was how much I want children with you, how much I want to make a baby with you" Charlie returned Joey's beam.

"How many do you want?" Joey grinned, she couldn't believe they were discussing this, she felt like she was walking on air, like she were dreaming.

"Oh I don't know, one is lonely, there was two of us and that was perfect, or three, but no more than three…." Charlie allowed her lips to seek out Joey's as she expressed her love with her lips.

"How many do you want?" Charlie asked as she pulled away and allowed her hands to carry on playing with Joey's stomach.

"I think, two or three too, but to be honest I would have a hundred babies with you Charlie" Joey grinned.

"I don't think so, imagine trying to get in the bathroom on a morning!" she giggled as she cuddled into her wife.

"Joey?"

"Yes Charlie?" Joey rolled her head to the side to allow her eyes to meet her soul mates.

"After tomorrow is out of the way, can we start trying?" Joey couldn't help her heart strings tighten at how shy Charlie had gone, the traces of the toddler and teenager they had spent the night watching, were evident on her face.

"If there was a way, I would start trying with you right now" Joey grinned as she rolled on top of Charlie and began attacking her with her lips.

"You know what I mean Mrs Buckton" Charlie gasped as she felt Joeys lips tighten around her neck, she pulled back slightly and gazed into the deep pools that were Charlie's eyes.

"Once the funeral is out of the way and you have got yourself sorted, I promise we will start looking into options" Joey grinned, she couldn't believe it herself.

"I think you will make a hot mother" Joey grinned as she began kissing Charlie again.
