Chapter 11

When Charity awoke she couldn't believe she was back home with Vanessa wrapped up in her arms, her arm was hurting but she couldn't move not wanting to wake Ness from her sleep she knew last night took a lot out of her.

"Mummy Charity, you home" Johnny smiled as he made his way into the room.

"Ssh, Johnny bobs mummy asleep we don't want to wake her, let go downstairs and make some breakfast" Charity said as she untangled herself from Vanessa slowly to not wake her.

"Mummy Charity can I have coco pops" Johnny asked they were his favourites mummy never let him have them.

"Ok we'll keep this between us little man" Charity said as she poured him a bowel.

"What happened to your arm and why have you got a cut on your head, did you fall over" Johnny asked as he started eating his cereal.

"I was in an accident but I'm ok now, just have to wear this cast for a few weeks" Charity said as she started making breakfast for her and Vanessa.

"Mummy Charity can I stay here with you, I wanna look after you, like you look after me when I'm sick" Johnny said hoping he could he missed living here.

"Morning Johnny, morning babe" Vanessa smiled as she wrapped her arms around Charity.

"Morning" Charity smiled as she kissed her.

"So coco pops I see, didn't want musli Johnny" Vanessa said as she sat at the table.

"Nope, Mummy Charity said I can have it, don't want musli" Johnny smiled as he took another spoon of cereal.

"Charity he needs a healthy cereal to start his day, not something full of sugar" Vanessa sighed.

"I know babe I thought as it's a special occasion this once he can have it" Charity smiled as she handed Vanessa a cup of tea.

"Mummy what special occasion" Johnny asked it wasn't his birthday.

"Well Johnny bobs you and Mummy are moving back here with me, Noah and Moses" Charity smiled as he leapt in to her arms.

"Really this is awesome I don't ever want to leave again" Johnny smiled as he hugged Charity.

Vanessa couldn't hide the smile on her face this is where she and Johnny belonged her son loved Charity she should never have kept them apart.

"Ness you ok" Charity asked as she noticed Vanessa spaced out.

"Marry me, marry me today I don't want to go one more second without you being my wife" Vanessa blurted out hoping Charity would say yes.

"You want to marry me" Charity asked in shock she wasn't expecting this.

"More than anything, I want us to be together forever. I love you so much, we've wasted so my time being apart. I don't ever want be away from you, we belong together. All I need is you and our boys" Vanessa said as she took Charity's hand.

"That's all I want too, you're my world you, me and the boys of course I'll marry you. But Moses is with his dad I can't get married without him there it wouldn't be right" Charity said as she held Vanessa not wanting to hurt her.

"Liverpool's not too far let's just get Johnny and Noah in the car we can get married there, unless you want a big wedding, we could wait if you wanted to" Vanessa said she'd wait if Charity wanted her too.

"Yes, let's just get married we can work it all out later, Noah's at school though so we'll have to get him" Charity smiled she's never felt so happy.

"I'll go and pick him up I'll leave you to get Johnny ready" Vanessa smiled as she kissed Charity.

"Come on Johnny bobs lets go and get you a tux" Charity smiled as she picked her son up.

Before picking Noah up Vanessa went to town to buy some wedding rings thankfully, they had their sizes in stock she wanted this day to be perfect. They still had their dresses from their pervious non wedding she thought about getting new outfits but there wasn't enough time. They could do the big wedding with Family and friends at a later date, not that she was thinking about her family at the minute not after what Tracy did.

"Hello I'm Vanessa I'm here to pick up Noah Dingle" Vanessa said as she arrived at the school reception.

"Can I ask why, he's in class right now" the receptionist asked.

"His Mum needs him home it a family thing" Vanessa said not wanting to go into detail Noah was in six form it's not like he had to stay in school.

"Ok I'll go and get him for you" the receptionist said as she got up.

"Noah there's a Vanessa in the school office for you" Miss Jones said after speaking to the receptionist.

"Ok, I better go" Noah said as he grabbed his bag and coat. What could be the matter he hoped his mum was ok.

"Hi Noah, you're probably a bit confused on why I'm here" Vanessa said as he came in the reception area.

"Ness is mum ok" Noah asked he shouldn't have left this morning he needs his mum.

"Oh Noah its nothing bad I promise your mum is fine I'll let you know what's happening on the way home" Vanessa said as she hugged him she didn't mean to scare him.

"Noah why aren't you in class and you are" Mr Turner asked as he saw them standing outside his office.

"My mum's come to get me I need to go home" Noah said.

"This isn't your mum Noah" Mr Turner asked this wasn't the lady he met before.

"This is my other mum Vanessa, Ness you ready to go" Noah asked as he turned to a shocked looking Vanessa.

"Yeah, Noah won't be back to school for a few days it's a family thing" Vanessa said as tears formed in her eyes he called her his mum she's never felt so happy. Moses has been calling her mummy Ness for years but he was small when her and Charity got together, Noah was a teenager she never expected this.

"So what's going on" Noah asked as Vanessa was driving them home.

"Your mum and I are getting married today, we'll be heading to Liverpool to get your brother and we're going to get married there" Vanessa smiled.

"Wow, that's crazy you only just got back together" Noah said not expecting this.

"We should never have been apart Noah and I don't want to go one more day without your mum or you and your brothers," Vanessa said as she parked the car outside their home.

"Hi, Noah, Ness I booked a hotel in Liverpool for a couple of days that way we could get ready there and I thought we could do with some family time we can take the boys to the museums" Charity said as they walked through the door.

"Sounds perfect, Charity I know you've already said yes, but I never actually got to do this last time so here it goes, I love you, I love you more than I ever thought I could ever love someone your my world. My heart belongs to you and if I could take back the past year I would, I don't ever want to be apart from you again, so will you marry me" Vanessa asked as she held out the engagement ring she bought this morning.

"Wow, of course I'll marry you, I love you so much" Charity cried as she kissed her.

"Come on Johnny let's put the bags in the car" Noah said as he grabbed some bags wanting to give them some alone time for a few minutes.

"So you like the ring" Vanessa asked as Charity couldn't stop staring at it.

"It's perfect, have you still got the ring I gave you" Charity asked as she held Vanessa's hand.

"I do, why" Vanessa asked as she handed the ring to Charity. As much as Vanessa tried to she couldn't throw it away it meant to much to her.

"Let's put it back where it belongs, you know when I asked you to marry me I wanted to spend my life with you more than anything. I wanted us to be a family and I'm sorry I hurt you I'm going to spend the rest of my life making it up to you. This ring needs to be a symbol of our love again. I want it to bring you love and happiness again instead of all the bad stuff. This is where I belong here with you and you wearing my ring" Charity cried as she placed the ring back on Vanessa's hand where it belonged.
