Chapter 1

Patricia's POV

3:30 Finally. Packing my computer and shoving my "Intro to British Law" into my old black backpack, I thanked my professor as I began to head out of the classroom for my car.

"Patricia, wait up!" I heard behind me. "Are you ready for our civil procedures test on Wednesday?" my friend Elizabeth asked while running to catch me. Elizabeth and I had met my first day at Uni. She is planning on going into Pre-law as am I, and we happened to get put in a bunch of 101 classes together.

"Oh yeah, I couldn't be more excited." I rolled my eyes, the sarcasm in my voice wasn't lost on her.

"You really should come to the pub tonight, there's a Uni special tonight." She looked at me with hope in her eyes.

"Lizzie, have I ever gone out?" I paused for a response. "Exactly." Elizabeth was a full time student who lived on campus.

"Anyways, Eric is watching Luna tonight so I finally get some alone time with my doofus."

"I'll still never get over the fact you two call each other the weirdest pet names."

"It's just what we do."

Elizabeth and I headed out of the building, she took a right back towards her dorm as I headed left for my car.

"Text me if you can hang out this weekend," Elizabeth shot as I was almost in my car.

"Will do." I started on my 10 minute drive home. The weather wasn't the best. It was a cold mid-may day. The sky was a light grey and the high for the day was only 12 degrees. A light drizzle began while I was in my lecture. I passed the gatehouse before I knew it I had pulled my mid sized red car into the driveway. Eddie had the day off since it was Friday. We had a schedule that would let me go to school while he was home with the baby or I would be home and he would be at work. There were times where Eric would watch Luna but we tried to minimize that as much as possible. We were her parents and we should be the ones to watch her. Sometimes we Trudy would offer to watch Luna, or we would ask her as a last resort. I get nervous about her being at Anubis without me or Eddie but I guess it's just a thing I'll have to live with.

I dragged my bag with me as I unlocked the door. The door made a screeching sound as it pushed open. There was a baseball game on the TV when I stepped into the house but no sign of Luna or Eddie. I peered into the kitchen but there was still no sign of them. Just then, I heard a loud crash coming from our room. As I ran in, I saw our bookshelf in pieces on the floor with books scattered everywhere. Luna was on our bed crying because of the noise.

"What are you doing?" I looked at Eddie as I went to Luna to comfort her.

"I was moving the bookshelf."

"I got that. Why though?"

"You said you wanted to move it."

"No I didn't," I might have now that I think about it.

"Please, just clean it up." I held Luna on my hip as I turned on my heels to head downstairs to make a snack.

"Sorry." Eddie yelled as I went down the stairs.

My latest after class snack obsession was pancakes. I was flipping my third pancake when I felt 2 hands on each side of my waist.

"Sorry about the bookshelf. I'll get some superglue tomorrow. But until then…" He laid a kiss on my neck. Before I knew it he grabbed me by the waist and set me gently on the counter.

"Your dad is gonna be home any minute." I said in between steamy lip locks. "I'd rather he not find us like this." Eddie then reached for his black tee-shirt and lifted it over his head. He then began running his hands under my top.

"You know I love this but your dad." I quickly slid down off the counter to grab his shirt on the floor and handed it to him. I gave his a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Mama," I heard a little babble from the pack-in-play in the living room.

"Hi peanut." Lifting her now took more out of me. She was almost a year old now. This year has gone by so quickly. She hit most of the normal milestones that every baby hits. Eddie started working for Fabian's uncle and Jaspar. He's been quite busy with working for the both of them but they do pay well which has been a total blessing. I received a full tuition scholarship to the University of Liverpool and am attending there as a part-time student. We have a schedule that allows us to continue our lives but be able to care for Luna. I plopped her down in her high-chair to feed her a snack.

"Elizabeth invited us out to the pub tonight, and I know that your dad is watching Luna tonight… and we haven't gone out in 5 months."

"So you want to go out tonight?" Eddie's always better at getting to the point than I am.

"What do you think?"

"I guess."

"Sweet, I'll text her and tell her we'll meet her downtown at 8." I walked slowly up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and stood on my tip-toes to reach his ear . "That way we can have some time after for just the two of us."

"I like the sound of that."
