Molly and Charles had been back in Bath for a few weeks since there romantic getaway. She and Charles were waiting in the marks and spencer café in Bath city centre, for her mum and sister who were supposed to be coming over for the day but jade had text her telling her that that there coach from Stratford was on time but their change at Victoria was late.
Charles who had been ordering the drinks a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows for her double expresso for him. He stared at her for a while until she noticed him. He carried the drinks over. And put them on the table.
"What you looking at" molly blushed
"Nothing, just I am so proud of you" he said planting a kiss on her head
"What for?"
"Everything conquering your PTSD and fears"
Just then molly's family came crashing in to the café molly slid down in her cringing
"There she is MOLLS!" Belinda called across the room.
"Hi-i-i-I mum" molly said hugging her mother
"Nice rock sis" jade nodded towards molly's left hand
"What…oh…" Belinda's face fell when she spotted the ring
"I was going to tell you mum. I… just haven't had chance
Charles went off to get more drinks so molly could talk to her family
"So how is everyone" molly asked
"Same old really. Dad is still being a complete bell-end
Molly laughed when Charles approached with the drinks and some cakes as well.
"WICKED" jade exclaimed and tucked in to the chocolate muffin
They all talked for a while and molly enjoyed herself. She was still a little jumpy especially when there was a noise she couldn't explain like one off the baby highchairs crashing to the floor or someone crashing the clean load of cups on to the stand. Charles and molly dropped her mum and sister off at the coach station so they could get there on time, then they went to their favourite eatery
"Can you take me to Headley court tomorrow?" molly asked out of the blue.
"Ok sure molls are you alright"
"Yeah just remembered about my appointment and I do need to talk to Dr Newman, I still don't feel confident on my own and with strange unexplained noises"
Molly and Charles arrived at Headley court and sat down they arrived with plenty of time to spare. They sat down in the designated waiting room to wait for molly's name to be called.
"How about next month" Charles said out of the blue
"What for?" molly
"To get married of course"
"That's soon real soon can we talk about it later" molly replied as her name was called by the doctor.
Molly followed doctor Newman to her office.
"how are you today molly"
"fine… I think" molly replied
" ok what seems to be the problem"
"Well I still get jumpy at loud unexplained noises and I just don't feel right I can't explain and we will work through it"
Molly talked for what seemed like ages and Dr Newman listened. When molly had finished Dr Newman spoke.
"Molly I am afraid that is not something I can help you with. You need to talk to Charles. I can help you with the anxiety. Just remember when you feel like everything is getting on top of you remember the 5, 4,3,2,1 technique we talked about"
Molly nodded and said thank you and made another appointment for a few weeks' time. She walked out to where Charles was waiting
"Charles we need to talk…"
