Patrick POV
I laid there, Ellen was wrapped in my arms and her head was in the crook of my neck as I felt her soft breaths on my skin. In a few minutes I have to wake her up from the peaceful serenity and drive all the way across the country. I trail my finger up her arm to the sleeve of the shirt, she is wearing one of my t-shirts and I can't feel that she's only wearing underwear because her legs are bear and tangled in mine.
"Wake up baby," I say and she lets out a gush of air on my neck.
"What time is it?" She mumbles.
"It's 6:30am, we gotta get going soon," I kiss the top of her hair and breath in the shampoo, it's coconut and it compliments the vanilla and honey body wash she uses.
"Hmm," she groans against my neck.
"Come on, I'm ready to be back home," I kissed the top of her head then slid out from her and she buried herself into the pillow.
"We could leave a little later," she groaned.
"No, because we have to be back before Monday because we have to film and Shonda will be upset," I pulled on my shirt and black skinny jeans.
"She'll live, I like it here," she sat up in the bed and held the blanket over her legs. Her hair was a complete mess, a hot mess. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and yawned.
"I like it here too but we have jobs."
"I know, I love work don't get me wrong but I don't feel like driving all the way there. When we get back, we will have paparazzi constantly following us."
"Maybe we should look for us a house, with good security or something gated," I sat down on the edge of the bed to put my shoes on and I could tell she was looking at me in shock.
"Patrick Dempsey, did you just ask me to move in with you AND buy a house with you?" She raised her eyebrow.
I thought for a second. I didn't realize that's what it sounded like, I just thought we had already moved in together basically.
"I... yeah I did. What do you say?" I turned to look at her.
"Yes, I will," she grabbed my face and pulled me into a kiss.
"Now get dressed, we have a long drive ahead of us," I smiled and went downstairs where Tal was playing with her a few of her toys that wasn't already packed.
"You almost ready Tal," I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some coffee that my mom had made. She nodded, she was still tired and would probably fall asleep in the car.
"Patrick, can you help me with something in the other room," my mom said and started walking into the office right off the living room.
"Yeah," I followed her into the room.
"Son, Tell me more about yours and Ellen's relationship," she sat down on one of the chairs.
"What do you mean ma?" I was confused. She never asked me this about Jill or my first wife.
"I mean I see the way you look at her, you never looked at Jill or that one woman like that," my mom never said my first wife's name, maybe because I was very young and she was suppose to be my agent.
"That's because I love her, not just love either, it's unexplainable. I just don't know how I ever lived without her, I can't imagine my life without her ma, she makes me crazy, a good crazy," I caught myself with a goofy grin on my face and my mom looked at me a way that she never had, she had a smile on her face and stood up to walk over to me.
"Patrick, I can tell you love her. My boy has finally grown up," she reached up and put her hands on my cheek.
"Ma," I smiled and hugged her. She pulled away and pulled something out of her pocket.
"This was your grandma's rings, she gave them to me a few years before she passed to give you when you found the one," she placed the silver ring set my grandma always wore.
"Ma, what do you mean? I was married to Jill back then," I was confused and held on to the rings.
"She knew Patrick, she knew you and Jill weren't each other's true love, you know her," my mom smiled at the thought of her mom.
"Thanks ma, I gotta go before Ellen thinks I left," I smiled down at the rings and put them in my pocket as I walked into the living room where she was playing with Tallulah. She looked up and met my eyes. Our faces both grew smiles and my mom patted my back.
"Ready to get going?" I asked and Ellen stood up.
Ellen POV
I got my clothes on and walked downstairs. Patrick and his mom weren't around and Tal was playing with some of her toys.
"Morning Tal, where is your daddy?"
"In the office with grandma," she pointed to the room off the living room.
"Thanks T," I walked over to the office and the door was cracked and I heard him talking.
"- Love her, not just love either, it's unexplainable. I just don't know how I ever lived without her, I can't imagine my life without her ma, she makes me crazy, a good crazy," I heard his voice and could tell he had one of those goofy grins on his face. I probably had one now too and I walked back over to T and got down to sit with her.
"Ellie, can you play with me," she handed me a doll and I smiled at her and started playing with her.
"So are you ready to meet your new brother?" I asked her as I played with the dolls hair that she handed me.
"Mhm, I am going to be the best big sister ever, that's what daddy told me. Ellie?" She looked at me with a weird look on her face.
"Yes T?"
"Are you and daddy going to give me a little sister since mommy is giving me a brother?"
"Um, maybe in the future, not right now. Is that alright?" I looked at her and her eyes looked disappointed. She let out a sigh and continued to play with her doll. After a minute, Patrick came walking out with his mom. I looked up in his eyes and I couldn't help but smile. I love the way he can look into my eyes and make me feel like the only girl in the entire world.
"Ready to get going?" He asked and I stood with a nod.
