Chapter number 29. Mummy's little princess.
"Hey princess, what's that long face for?" Martha asked sitting down on the bed next to Amy. Amy didn't reply, she just kept looking into thin air straight ahead of her. "Sweety I won't know what's wrong if you don't tell me".
"He's going to be just like daddy, and take me away" Amy sobbed.
"Sweety he's nothing like daddy, ok. Mummy's not going choose anyone like daddy, I promise" Martha comforted her giving her a big hug.
"Really?"
"Really" Martha confirmed. "I'm just going to go and get something and I'll be back in a minute, ok".
"Ok" Amy answered, starting to cheer up.
Martha disappeared out the door for a minute and came back with something behind her back. "Close your eyes" Martha told her. Amy did as she was told and closed her eyes tightly. "Ok you can open them now. Remember this?" Martha asked holding a heart shaped locket in her hand.
Amy smiled "My locket" she exclaimed "I lost it when Daddy took me away".
"Yeah, and Mummy kept it safe for you" she told her, undoing it and putting it around Amy's neck. "Now I want you to know that no matter who else comes along, you'll always be Mummy's princess".
Amy smiled at her Mother, "Really?"
"Yes, really. How about we go and get a drink from the kitchen".
"Ok" Amy agreed hopping off the bed and following Martha to the kitchen.
"Jack, did they actually fix the water problem" Martha asked standing at the sink fiddling with the knobs on the tap.
"They said they would" Jack told her.
"Well they haven't, I'm going to go and sort that out"
"Ok" Jack answered as Martha left the hotel room.
"Can you read me my story?" Amy asked after the room had been silent for a few minutes.
"Sure" Jack replied in a happy and cheerful voice.
"Ok, I'll go and get my book" Amy said running back to her bedroom and coming back out with her story book of the three little pigs.
About five minutes later Martha came back and walked in quietly and smiled when she saw Jack reading Amy a story.
"Little pig little pig, let me come in" Jack said putting on a deep voice for the wolf. "Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin" he continued making a high pitched voice for the little pig and Amy giggled. Not wanting to interrupt Martha lent on the edge of the door way and watched while Jack read the rest of the story to Amy.
"Mummy's back" Amy exclaimed happily when Jack finished reading and closed the book.
"Did they fix it?" Jack asked.
"Yeap, I think so" Martha told him, walking over to the tap to check. "Yeap it's working".
Amy let out a big yarn, "you look like your could to with some sleep princess" Martha said picking her up and taking her back to bed. "So how did you like Jack's story?"
"I like him, he makes funny voices" Amy told her.
"Yeah I hear them. Anyway goodnight sweety" Martha said tucking Amy into bed and leaving the room. She came out into the lounge room and gave Jack a big kiss.
"What was that for" Jack asked.
"Just for being the most amazing guy in the world" Martha told him.
"No your the amazing one".
"No you are, What did i ever do to deserve someone like you Jack" she sighed placing her head on Jack's chest and wrapping her arms around him. Then she whispered something.
"What?" Jack asked.
"I said I'd love to be your wife" She said a bit louder lifting her head up. Jack smiled and lent forward and kissed her. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a little white leather box and opened it. "Jack it's beautiful" she said studying the gold ring with diamonds inside the box.
Jack took the ring out and slipped it on Martha's finger "Not nearly half as beautiful as you. I love you Martha".
"I love you too".
