I don't own any characters depicted in The Greatest Showman. I only own the OC's.

Anne's POV

It's been 4 days since Phil was admitted to the hospital and I want him to wake up soon. I am getting sick of the stares and glares of people on this ward. I left to take a shower, but Jack and Natalie have been giving me food.

I know they fight with the nurses and doctors every time, but I appreciate it. Mr. Barnum and Charity visited a few times and they also told the nurses and doctors off. It's great having friends who will fight for you. Jack is coming back up when I feel Phil's hand grip mine.

I look at Phil and his eyes open and shut until he adjusts to the light. His eyes meet mine and he says you're here. I throw all thoughts out the window and kiss him. He runs his hand through my hair and we kiss again. He's awake and I'm never letting him out of my sight again.

Jack clears his throat and says that since Phil is awake and the smoke is cleared, he'll check him out. I nod and watch as Jack leaves. Phil asks how long was he out? I say 4 days this time. He nods and asks if I'm really here willing to give him a third chance?

I say I am; he's not getting rid of me easily. He chuckles and pulls me in for another kiss. A few minutes pass and I hear chuckles from people behind me. I see Jack, Natalie, Barnum, Charity, and my momma there. I feel my face heating up as Jack says Phil can leave now.

He asks the women to leave so Phil can get dressed in private. I nod and follow the everyone out. I say Jack and P.T are in there. Natalie says it's going to take a few people to dress that boy due to his burns. I nod and I ask how bad will the scarring be?

She says no worse than the rest of his scars. I nod and she says when I first see Phil's torso and arms, do not look at him in pity, he won't like that. My face heats up again and my momma says I won't see him like that for a while, right?

I nod quickly and she says good. She doesn't need to wallop that boy. The door opens revealing the men. Phil walks to me and pulls me into a hug before kissing me. I kiss back and Phil pulls away saying he'll never get tired if doing that.

I smile and we walk out hand in hand. We get to the circus after we got a carriage to stop for us. I think Jack waving his med kit out got one to stop. We hop in and I sit as close to Phil as I can. Charity says that Jack and Natalie will go in another carriage, no room for them.

Phil nods and he lays his head on my shoulder as the ride goes. Momma looks at me and says he fell back asleep. Momma says that when I do see Phil with his shirt off, she doesn't need details. The Barnums laugh and my face heats up again. I look at the man beside me and think that may happen soon. He has to heal first before anything happens like that.

Phil's POV

We shift through the wreckage of the building and Anne and I find a trapeze hoop. She holds it up and looks at me sadly. I kiss her and we hear footsteps coming. I see Phin and say the bank turned him down. He says yes, they laughed in his face.

He says there is no other bank he can fool into giving him money. He is sorry for letting us all down. Charles says that we're used to it. Jack and I come up and I say before I met him, I had an inheritance, acclaim, and an invitation to every party in town.

Thanks to him, that's all gone. What's left is friendship, love, and work that I adore. He brought more joy into my life. Every performer says that they got joy from this life too. He says if only the bank would take joy as collateral. I say they may not, but Jack and I will.

He looks at the both of us and I say I own 10% of the company. Knowing who I was working for, I took my cut weekly. I look at Jack and he says he's down to put money in. Being here, makes him believe in everything he worked for.

Also, we need a doctor on set. What better way to have one if he becomes the ringmaster for a few nights a week? Also, more money to him means he can treat more clientele at his physician's office and not worry about money.

Barnum says that he can't let us gamble on him like that. Anne says sure he can. I say partners, 33% for each of us. The other 1% can go to charity. We all shake on it and I say the only thing is, we won't be able to afford a building. Barnum says real estate in Manhattan is a bad investment.

He can buy land down at the docks for almost nothing. All we need is a tent.

It's been a few months, but all of us got the tent up and new parts ordered. It's the first show since the fire and the stands are packed. I stand by Anne and say this still brings joy into everyone's lives. She grabs my hand and says I bring joy into hers.

I kiss her and say her being with me is the best thing that ever happened to me. She nods and the show goes off without a hitch. Jack and I are standing by the stands when Barnum runs over to us and hands me his hat.

He tells me the show must go on. Also says that he's going to watch his girls grow up. I put the hat on and one look at the stage has me running over there. I finish the song and see that Barnum has left but Jack is still there watching.

As the last note of the song comes to the end, I dip Anne and kiss her in front of the crowd. We kiss twice and since slavery is over and coloreds are free, I hear more cheering than rude comments. I look at Anne and we pull apart and bow to the audience and I thank them for coming to the show.

They leave and Jack comes up saying that was good. He'll practice a few times a day in case I want a break. I say when I need one, I'll let him know. We shake hands and he says he has to get home to Nat and the kids.

He wishes us well and leaves the tent. The performers leave and put the animals away which leaves me and Anne in the ring. She pulls off her wig and I run my hands through her hair. I tell her love her natural hair.

She says that makes one of us. I pull her to me and kiss her showing all my love for her. She kisses back just as fervently and says we should take this somewhere private. I nod and as we go to leave, I hear her mom shout wait.

Anne rolls her eyes and we turn to see her mom walking to us. She hugs is and says that was a great show. Most of the acts are having drinks out back if we want to join. I say that I'm a little sore from the dancing. Anne says she doesn't want to drink tonight.

Dianne looks at us and she says she'll make sure W.D stays busy. She winks at us and my face turns bright red. I turn to Anne and ask if that killed the mood for her. In response, she kisses me and says not a chance. She runs towards our tent and I follow her.

SMUT AHEAD

She is lying on the bed and says we need some alone time. I say we do and crawl onto the bed and come to rest on top of her. She puts her hands on the side of my face and gently kisses me. I kiss back and soon the kisses turn heated and we're running our hands over each other's bodies.

Her hands pull my shirt out and I grip her hands asking if she's ready to see how scarred my body really is. She looks into my eyes and says she is ready. She will love me no matter what my body looks like, we all have scars, some more than others.

I nod and I let her take my shirt off. I watch as her eyes roam over my body, over every scar I got whether it's from my father or cousin. The scars I gave myself or the scars from the burns from the fire. I see her eyes linger on my left forearm where two lines go from my wrist to my elbow joint.

She runs her fingers over them and I shiver. She says she's sorry about those. I tell her don't be, I did it to myself. She says if she was nicer to me and I kiss her shutting her up saying those were not her fault. She nods and runs her hands over all my scars, never faltering over them.

She says I'll tell her where each scar came from right? I nod and say any question she has, ask and I'll tell her the truth. She nods and kisses my left arm and pulls my head down to meet my lips in a kiss. I pull off her leotard and she put her arms over her chest.

She says she's nervous, this is her first time. I nod as I expected that, and tell her if she's uncomfortable, we don't have to go any farther. She says she wants to, but she's self-conscious of her body. I say no reason to be, she has the best body of any women I've seen.

She blushes and I trail kisses down her neck and down to her chest. Her hands are still over her breasts and I gently pull them away. I hear her breath hitch and I say she's beautiful, no one will tell her any different. She nods and I take one in my mouth and suck.

She moans and I take my other hand and play with her other one. Her back arches and I smile as I can do this to her. I switch to the other one as I can't show favorites. I trail kisses down her stomach and inside her thighs hoping she settles down a bit.

She is shaking and I ask if she's still alright with this? She nods and I lick her causing her to jump. I chuckle and say relax, enjoy this, I know I will. She says ok and I gently lick her lips while pushing my middle finger inside her.

I feel her clench the sheets, and looking at her, her eyes are closed and she's moaning. I pump my finger inside her and nip her clit. A few moments later, I am rewarded with her moaning my name. I clean her up and kiss all the way up her body again.

Gives her time to come down from her orgasm. I kiss her lips and I ask if she's alright. She meets my eyes and she nods saying she is. I smile and ask if she wants to continue. She nods and then asks if I have anything to prevent us from having kids right now.

I nod and say I do, I want kids when she wants kids. She sighs and she says she loves me. I tell her I love her too and her hands go to my pants and I see her struggling as her hands are shaking so much. I help her unbuckle them and I let her push them down.

Her eyes go straight to my boxers, where my cock is throbbing behind it. She cups me through and I moan as her hands touch it. She pulls her hand away and asks if she hurt me. I shake my head and say she did not, I liked that.

She nods and I hear her take a deep breath before pulling my boxers down. Her eyes stay on my cock and I ask if she likes what she sees. She nods and then asks if she can touch it?

I say please do, I'll like it. She gently traces her fingers down the appendage and I moan as that feels good. She takes that sign as a good signal and she starts stroking. I pull her head up and kiss her and she slows her strokes, but doesn't let me go.

I feel my balls clench and I say I'm going to come if she continues. She kisses me hard and I let out a grunt as I explode in her hand. She looks at her hand and says that's what it looks like.

I nod and I hand her a shirt to wipe her hand off. She does and I ask if she wants to go all the way or end it at that. She looks at me before kissing me and says she wants to go further. I nod and gently lie her on the bed and kiss her.

She reciprocates and I run my fingers down her pussy making sure she's wet. She is and I tell her I have to put the condom on before we go further. She says condom and I nod and pull one out. She asks how does this prevent pregnancy?

I blush and say I can show her. She hands it to me and I roll it over my cock and I look up and she's examining it. She asks how that's supposed to stop pregnancy and I say it catches my sperm.

It catches what came out of me the first time. She nods and she lies back on the bed. I kiss her and say this is going to hurt. She says she knows, momma told her that much. I whisper in her ear saying I don't want to hurt her, but it's only one time.

She nods and I kiss her before lining myself up and enter her slowly. She tenses and breathes heavily and I say I can stop. She shakes her head and says no, she can handle it. I nod and I come to her barrier and stop. I say one last time, is she sure?

Anne looks at me with love in her eyes and says she's sure. I nod and break through her barrier pushing myself all the way. A gentle cry escapes and a few tears come to her eyes but she just looks at me.

I wipe her tears and say I'm so sorry, she says she knows, I should move though. I say she's sure and she nods before thrusting her hips up. I take the hint and start thrusting in and out slowly to make sure she gets used to the feeling.

She wraps her legs around me and I thrust harder and she is moaning loudly and telling me faster. I oblige and after a few moments her walls clench around me as she screams my name and I follow soon after. I finish and pull out of her when she smiles at me.

She tells me I was great. I chuckle and say she is my favorite. She blushes and I pull the condom off and make sure it didn't break. It didn't, so I throw that out and pull her body to mine. She asks if I'm alright and I say never better. I kiss her neck and I feel her fall asleep so I follow and hold her tightly before I fall asleep.
