Will opened his eyes slowly, confused as to where he was, he looked around and remembered the night before. He smiled and turned his head, only to find Helen wasn't there. Rising out of the bed and shuffling to put his clothes on. He thought about how amazing he felt, being the one Magnus had fallen for. He took the chance to look around the room, although he felt guilty going through her things, he was so curious. Walking around the bed, he opened the top drawer on her night stand. There were a few books, a book light and a journal. He thought about reading it for a second, but he put it back how he found it. He went over to her wardrobe, looking through her clothes, remembering all the outfits he'd seen her in. There was a drawer down the bottom, where he found her underwear. He chuckled, as if he had found a pot of gold.
"What are you doing?" He spun around quickly to find Helen standing in the doorway, with a tray of food in her hands. An amused smile on her face.
"Just looking..." He put his head down in embarrassment, but she just laughed.
"Put my things away and come to bed for breakfast, love."
They sat on the bed, legs crossed, facing each other, with the tray of food between them. There were crepes, fresh fruit, biscuits and of course, tea. As they were enjoying their breakfast, Will's phone buzzed. Helen grabbed it and held it out to him.
"It's a text message from Henry." He said, putting down the slice of pineapple he was eating.
"What does it say?"
"Hmm...'hey dude. Biggie and I are coming home early, see you in a few hours. - H'...what do you wanna do?" She saw the disappointment in his eyes. If Henry and the big guy are coming home, it means, Helen and Will's romantic week is over.
"I suppose we just enjoy the time left for us..." She put the tray on the floor next to the bed. She climbed onto Will's lap and they began to kiss. As they made love over and over again, time flew past. While lying in bed Helen's phone rang, she answered quickly.
"Henry?" She turned to look at Will. He huffed in disappointment.
"Hey Doc. We're home. Can't find you, where's Will?"
"Hmm. He's just helping me with something. I'll be down in a sec." She put the phone down and slowly got out of the bed, getting dressed. She gave Will a sad knowing smile. She missed Henry and Biggie, but a bit more time to enjoy what she's been waiting for for so long would be nice.
"Henry!" She said excitedly walking into her office, seeing Henry. She enveloped him in a loving hug.
"Good to see ya, Doc." Henry smiled, looking over her shoulder. "Where's Will?"
"In his office, I suppose. He's been doing, um...some paper work..." She said, trying to sound convincing. "How's Erica?" They sat on the sofa and chatted, when Will entered the room.
"Henry. How was your trip dude?" Will's eyes met Helen's and he found himself struggling to look away. As henry kept talking, he was looking between them. Noticing something was up, but left it alone.
After Henry had left it was just Will and Helen. He sat next to her on the couch.
"Are we going to tell them?" He asked, he wanted them to know. Hell, he wanted the whole world to know. He'd scream it from the rooftop, if it weren't so cliché.
"I think we should wait. I mean, it's hardly the right time. Henry has just found out he's going to be a father..." Will thought about it for a minute.
"I would think it's the best time to tell him, He's in a great mood."
"Please Will...Just leave it for a while." She put a hand on his wrist and gave him a quick peck on the lips. He nodded and stood up.
"I just don't want to leave it to long..." He left the room. Helen continued to stay on the couch for a while, without noticing, she started to think about Will and how happy she felt. She hadn't been this happy since the day Ashley was born.
It had been two weeks since they had been together. They were back in work mode, even though things were going smoothly. Will was starting to miss her, even though she was only just there. He missed the way her hair smelt, her laugh and her smile. He missed her soft skin and the way she kisses him with her fingers in his hair.
He walked from his office to hers. Stopping by a vase in the hall and pulled out the whole bunch of flowers and continuing on his way. He knocked on the door, wondering why it was closed. He heard her quietly say 'come in', so he did, hiding the flowers behind his back. Closing the door behind him, he smiled at her and walked towards her desk. She stood up and smiled back.
"Will...what can I..." She was cut off by him kissing her quickly and pulling the flowers out from behind him. She gasped, and laughed softly. "Oh, they're beautiful...and that's why I put them in the vase just out in the hall." He laughed too.
"Well, I didn't want to waste precious time going to the florists." She smiled again and put her arms around his neck. Meanwhile, Henry stood stock still watching the security footage of Helen and Will's embrace, in his office. His jaw well and truly on the floor.
