*The Morning After*


After having a small breakfast, as this is all I wanted, me, Ben and Doctor Cameron discussed about me going home. Thankfully my pain had now fully subsided; and it was decided that I could go home but I would need someone to look after me. It was at this point where Ben told Doctor Cameron that there was always going to be someone with me. Apparently given the fact that I had been able to disappear for months on end Ben and my family were going to make sure that this never happened again. I knew that this probably was the case; but I knew that this wasn't going to happen. I had no reason to run away; I had Ben and my family back and we all had to prepare of the changes that was going to happen very soon in all of our lives.


"You can tell that you have been living here-" Ben began after we both walked hand in hand into my cottage.

"How?" I questioned.

"You've changed everything" he advised as he looked around the room. "It's purple" he smiled.

"I thought you liked purple" I teased as I dropped his hand and I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"I do" he confirmed as he mirrored my actions. "It's my favourite colour" he smiled down at me.

"Hmmm" I purred before I pushed my face up and pressed a brief against his lips. As I pulled away I felt our prince move and I smiled down at him; I still couldn't believe that I had Ben and our baby in my life - and I would make sure that I never let either one of them go ever again! "And I think it is his as well" I chuckled.

"Maybe" he chuckled before he flipped his hair out of his eyes. I chuckled at him doing this and then an idea came to me - but if Ben wanted it was another matter.

"Do you want me to trim your hair?" I asked.

"Erm" he muttered.

"You don't have to say yes" I offered.

"I know" he replied. "But have you cut hair before?" he asked nervously.

"I have cut Jay and Carlos's in the past" I advised.

"I see" he noted. "Yeah" he decided. "I would like that" he smiled.

"Well let's get you in the bathroom" I advised.

"I would prefer the bedroom" he flirted as a playful glint entered his eyes.

"BEN!" I exclaimed before I started laughing at his playfulness.

"What?" he asked innocently. "It's not as if you haven't seen it all before" he reminded me smugly.

"True" I nodded. "Can you get one of those chairs for me?" I questioned as I gestured to one of the nearby dining room table chairs.

"Of course" he advised and we both untangled our arms from each other. I then slowly walked into the bathroom and as I did this I heard movement which told me that Ben had picked a chair up and was following me.

"Right" I said as Ben placed it down in front of the counter. "It needs washing first" I advised.

"Ok" he nodded. "Well I'll quickly go into the shower" he added.

"Ok" I said. "I'll wait outside then" I advised as I gestured to the living room.

"You don't want to join me?" he asked as his face dropped.

"As lovely as that is no" I teased. "I need to sit down; my legs feel weak" I explained.

"You don't need to do this" he urged.

"Yes I do, my shaggy Beast" I joked and he laughed at me. "So hurry up" I teased further.

"Yes Fiancé" he grinned and I chuckled as I left the room. As I went to sit down on the couch I heard the shower turn on and I smiled. I loved when it was just me and Ben like this; it felt as if we could really be ourselves as no one was watching every move that we were making. And given the fact that our every move was watched - this meant a great deal to the pair of us.
