I felt the warmth of Wade's kiss planting on my forehead, my eyes opened up to see him watching me sleep. "Morning."

I snuggled closer to him, my cheek coming in contact with his chest as I nestled myself closer. He wrapped his large, muscled arm around my body, caressing me in to an embrace as he leaned his jaw against the top of my head. "Feels good to be in your arms again" I spoke.

He kissed the top of my head, "It feels good to have you in my arms." We were both silent before he spoke again. "I've just been thinking and I was wondering if you felt ready to try for a baby again?"

My eyes widened at the idea and I sat up to look at him. "You want to try again?"

Wade pulled a strand of my hair behind my ear as he smiled at me, "Only if you're ready."

I was happy that Wade and I were close again and that he was being so gentle with me, I felt this frustration that I would disappoint him again. My eyes lowered as I thought about it.

Wade could obviously see that I wasn't ready. "There's no pressure Lea, I just want you to think about it."

I smiled at him nervously as I nodded. He gently kissed my cheek and then got up and started getting ready. I stayed sitting in bed and watched him.

The truth was that I wasn't ready and I felt really angry at myself that I felt that way. I guess it was because the biggest dream I could have was to have a child and knowing that it would be with Wade was incredible. He was perfect in every way and I felt just as perfect knowing that he loved me so much and now we were married. It was now time to start our family and the only thing holding us back was me. "Um… Wade" I called out to him.

He came back from the bathroom and stared at me, waiting for a response.

"I'm ready to try and have a baby with you" I spoke bravely.

Wade walked toward me and he sat himself on the bed. "Are you sure?"

I nodded, "I really want to have a baby with you and I want Adele to have a sibling to love."

He took hold of my hand and placed in between a hold of his own hands. "I mean I love Adele she means everything to me, but having a child that is ours would be unbelievable."

I grinned as I imagined a little baby that shared both our genes and traits. I hoped that it would have Wade's beautiful features and my personality. "We've been married for a while now and I think we should start our family together. If it doesn't happen straight away for us then… we can keep trying."

Wade beamed as he gazed at me, "I'm really proud to hear you say that. We're in this together now."

I nodded again feeling slightly more fearless than before. He raised my hand toward his mouth and kissed it lovingly before placing it back in my lap. "So what are your plans for today?" I asked him as he stood up.

"My parents have actually left us" he said.

Katherine was gone? "They've gone back to England?" I asked, trying to hide my joy.

Wade shook his head, "No they've gone to Miami, to the villa for a few days."

My hopes were shattered. "Oh…"

"I'm going to work in an hour and then tonight I thought that maybe we could go out for a date?" he said coyly.

"A date?" I repeated.

He kissed me briskly on the lips, "Get Peter to drop you at work. I'll pick you up at 6."

I felt confused but at the same time very excited. We hadn't done anything remotely romantic since our honeymoon with our fights and then in laws staying with us. I was really excited to see what was going to happen.

…..

For some weird reason the gallery was clustered with people, I was surprised at why today everyone decided to look at my art. "This is crazy" said Layla as she passed by me. The both of us were busy with clients who were interested in buying certain pieces. I had to say it was quite humbling and overwhelming.

I had finished with a client when Layla approached me, "You have a pretty friend here to see you."

I looked behind her to see who it was, "Natalya!" The blonde haired Canadian beauty paced her way toward us.

She gave a loving glance to Layla, "Thank you Layla for those kind words, I'll pay you later." Natalya winked at Layla and Layla chuckled before leaving us alone. Natalya then turned her attention to me, "It's nice to see you Lea! I can see that the gallery is booming today."

"Yeah…it's weird we've been getting busy all day. Layla and I are actually exhausted" I said, "How have you been?"

She grinned happily, "Well I've been good. I've actually grown a little… older."

I looked at her baffled at what she was saying and then it hit me. "It's your birthday!" I yelled.

Natalya nodded, "It is!"

"Happy Birthday" I said as I gave her a friendly embrace.

"Thank you" she said as she pulled a bright pink piece of paper from her handbag, "I'm actually here to invite you my darling, over tonight to celebrate."

I suddenly remembered that I already had plans with my husband and after how Wade had reacted to going to the last outing that Natalya's boyfriend was at, I wasn't sure if he'd want to step one foot into Randy's home. Natalya noticed that I didn't look very confident in going.

"I know Randy and Wade aren't really on the best terms but I love you and Wade, I'd really love it if you guys came" she pleaded, "Are you and Wade still in a battle?"

I smiled, "Actually we've gotten back to normal and things are good again."

"That's great, Lea!" she exclaimed, "I told you that he would come back around."

I nodded, "You did. His parents are in Miami for the time being so he's going to take me out on a date. Tonight."

Natalya looked a little upset, but she put up a smiling front. "I'm glad that you and Wade are being so cute and romantic. That's what we all love about you. Anyway, I totally understand if you guys don't come to the party. I understand if Wade doesn't want to come too."

Guilt flowed through me as I looked at her. I loved Natalya to bits. She had been there for me and I wanted to be there for her. "I really want to celebrate your birthday with you; you're one of my best friends. Maybe Wade and I can come around later?"

"That would be great" she said ecstatically, "Come whenever you can." She looked so happy when I said that I would try to make it. Of course it was easier said than done.

I tried to change the subject of me and Wade. "Do you know what Randy has bought you?" I asked slyly.

She giggled, her cheeks blushing as his name came up. "I don't know yet… he hasn't said anything to me."

"I'm sure he's going to spoil you" I said.

"He made me breakfast this morning before he went to work and called in sick for me at the medical centre" she said.

"I was wondering why I was seeing you in the middle of the day" I joked, "You work so hard Nattie; it's good that he called in for you."

She grinned, "He is a very good boyfriend." Her eyes moved to her watch, "Speaking of him, he should be finishing work soon so I think I might go home and start setting up for the party. I hope to see you guys later after you and your husband have had your little date."

I hoped that we would see her later too. "Thank you for the invitation" I said as I held onto the pink piece of paper, "Enjoy your birthday." I gave her another hug and then she waved me goodbye. I watched as before she left she wandered over to Layla to give her a piece of pink paper as well. Layla nodded to her to say that she was going to be there.

….

"Do you think Wade will want to go to the party?" asked Layla as we begun closing up.

I shook my head as I sat at my desk, "Definitely not. He wouldn't come with me to Phil and Adele's place because Randy was there. I doubt he'll want to go to Randy's house."

"Well their little disagreement was a while ago, don't you think he's gotten over it?" she asked as she sat next to me.

"He's a really stubborn man, Lay" I said, "But I do want to be there for Natalya's birthday."

"I hope you do come because I'll be there" she said as she got off her chair, "Natalya promised me lots of good looking men so that was my incentive to go."

I grinned at her as I watched her grab her bag and leave. I went back to typing out the balance sheets on my computer. Minutes passed as I was close to finishing.

"Ahem…" voiced a male as he cleared his throat. I glanced up and grinned upon seeing my husband standing in front of me with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. This smirk was plastered on his face.

"Roses" I said as I stood out of my chair and approached him, "They're lovely. Thank you."

He handed the bouquet to me, "I just picked them up after I left from work."

"Well thank you again" I said holding onto the bouquet tenderly.

"That's alright" he said as he stared at me, "Anything to make you happy." My cheeks blushed and I had to lower my gaze. Wade smirked again as he watched me turn wary at him.

I went to go put the roses into a vase, if I could find one. "I just have to lock up and then we can go" I said from the other room.

"I'll wait for you outside then" he called out before leaving. I finally found a vase that was sitting in one of the store rooms and placed the roses in them and then placed the vase on my desk. As I stared at them it made me realise how blessed I was to have a husband like Wade who would do little things like buy me flowers or take me on dates just to see me happy. I grasped how all my past relationships with men were next to nothing compared to what I had now and while we had our bouts we would always love each other. I watched him while he stood outside waiting for me, his large hands in his jacket pockets because of the cold, rainy weather. I rushed to get my coat and bag and locked up the gallery, putting on the alarm code before turning around to see him smiling at me. "Ready to go?" he asked.

I nodded and walked alongside of him. He took one hand out of his pocket and grabbed onto my hand. I felt him intertwine his fingers with mine, I looked up at him and he was grinning back. It really did feel like a date. I spotted his car and he led us toward it. Once we sat in the warm car, I felt much at ease. I noticed that it began to slowly sprinkle of rain on the windscreen. Wade started the car, his Stone Roses CD was booming loudly. He blushed as he turned the volume down.

I chuckled, "Someone was having a karaoke session in the car."

Wade smirked; he couldn't keep a straight face. "I was," he said guiltily.

"It's alright" I said as I lay back in the seat. "Where are we going?" My stomach was rumbling for food, I had starved myself all day because knowing Wade he was going to take me to some fancy restaurant that I could indulge in.

"I was thinking about going to the cinemas" he suggested.

"You mean, go to watch a film?" I said surprised.

He noticed the astonishment in my voice. "If you wanted to…" he said starting to doubt the idea.

"No" I said, worried that I might have offended him. "I'd love to go with you."

Wade grinned and then started driving. This was different. Wade never seemed like the movie and dinner type, but I liked this change.

….

Once we got to the cinema we stood in front of a television screen which displayed the various movie titles that would be showing. I knew immediately that this was going to be the most difficult part of the entire date. "What would you like to watch?" he asked as he looked at me.

I thought to make this easy on myself. "Up to you" I said.

Wade stared at the screen and then back to me, "Ladies choice."

I sighed, "How about we watch something with some romance to it, since this is a date."

None of the romantic movies were to Wade's liking. "I don't really like that Zac Efron character."

"How about The Hunger Games?" I asked him, "I heard that it's very good."

He had another sour look, "I heard that it's just like Twilight and I definitely don't want to see that."

I sighed, "Well let's just line up and you can tell the cashier what you'd like to watch" I said as I moved toward the long line of people waiting to buy a movie ticket. Wade followed after me and we lined up together.

It was our turn to talk to the cashier, it was teenage boy. He looked at us and smiled friendlily, "How can I help you?" I smiled back to him and just let Wade speak.

"Can I please have two adult tickets to see Titanic in 3D?" Wade asked him. I looked up at him and beamed, he gave me a wink. Titanic was one of my favourite movies.

"Sure" said the boy, "Would you like some drinks and popcorn?"

Wade nodded, "Yes, I'd like one medium popcorn and a large coke." He gave the cashier the money and handed me the food. I launched my hand straight into the popcorn, I was very hungry. Wade chuckled as he watched me, "Slow down there little lady."

"I'm sorry, but I'm starving" I said looking up to him. He shook his head and smiled as he grabbed the tickets and 3D glasses.

We took our seats and by the speed I was eating at, there was probably going to be no popcorn by the time the actual movie would start. I laid back in my seat after sipping the iced cold coke and placed it in the cup holder between us then put my feet up. I glanced at Wade, who took a sip of the coke, "I haven't seen this movie in a long time."

"Don't you just love it?" I said, "I used to cry all over it all the time."

Wade laughed at me, "It's only a movie Lea. You wouldn't catch me crying."

"You're just heartless" I sighed as I enjoyed some more popcorn.

He smirked, "I'm just being realistic."

"Well what if it was you and I on that boat and we hit the iceberg and then what?" I asked him stubbornly.

Wade kissed my lips briskly as he pulled away; I tried to catch my breath. "I'd want to that before I tried everything I could to save you and I would save you." he said.

I grinned, "Nice answer."

He placed his arm over my shoulder and I huddled myself close to him as the movie started. I giggled at him as he wore his glasses, funnily enough glassed suited him.

"You know you really look like your Dad" I said as I stared at him.

Wade huffed, "Just watch the movie." I smirked and my eyes were then glued to the large screen in front of us.

…

After the movie, Wade drove us toward this familiar restaurant; it was the Italian place that Randy and I used to go to before when we were younger. It made me remember Natalya's birthday party. "Is everything alright?" Wade waved his hand in front of my face, "You look a little lost. Was the movie too much for you?"

"No… I was just day dreaming" I lied.

"Well, while you were day dreaming I ordered us a pizza. You know I'm a little hungry since someone hogged all the popcorn" he said as he shook his head.

I giggled guiltily, "I said that I was hungry."

"Right…" he nodded.

"I hope Adele is home" I said him, "You know she's been having problems sleeping all week." I was worried about my daughter. She'd been not sleeping properly and staying up because of having her grandparents over and wanting her to spend time with them all the time.

"I'm sure she's feeling a lot better now" he said. Remembering that the reason his daughter wasn't sleeping was because she told him that she was worried about her parent's relationship. "She should be sleeping peacefully" he said as he looked at his watch.

I sighed "I hope so…"

The pizza was served on our table and Wade began digging in while I watched him. I wasn't feeling very hungry. I pondered on whether to ask about Natalya's party and if we could go.

"So how was your day today?" Wade asked as he munched on his pizza slice.

"What?" I laughed.

"I was just wondering how your day was today?" he said after he swallowed his food. "What happened?"

"Um… today we were really busy with clients, it was weird" I explained. "I was really overwhelmed."

"People must have all heard about how amazing you are."

I smiled, "I suppose so… how was your day? How is everyone at the office?"

Wade sighed loudly, "Oh you know, everything is same as always. Drew is enjoying being put on secretary duties for me while Rosa is on holiday."

"DREW IS YOUR SERCRETARY!" I exclaimed after dying from laughter. The image in my head was priceless.

Wade smirked, "It's his punishment… for now."

"Oh god, I can't even imagine this" I said, still chuckling about it.

"Phillip came in today, Adele told him that she needed him out of the house because she had to do some stuff for the wedding so he came in to work – which I can't say that I was too upset over. I loved having him there even if it was for a day" said Wade.

I would definitely say that there was this weird bromance between my husband and Adele's fiancé. "I bet you did."

"Natalya came in as well" he spoke. I listened on to what he would say next. "She threw this pink piece of paper in Phillip's face. I'm not too sure what that was about" he continued.

I finally grew brave to speak. "It's Natalya's birthday. She's having a party tonight…she came by the gallery today to give us our invitation."

Wade was surprised to know that it was her birthday. "What did you tell her?"

"I told her that I had a date with my husband" I said to him honestly.

"Was she upset?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "She wanted us to go, but she was still understandable."

Wade could tell that I was feeling a little upset in missing the party and our friends, "Do you want to go?"

Was this a trick question? "I would like to but if you don't want to, then that's alright. I know you don't want to see Randy and I don't blame you."

"You're right" he said finishing off his pizza, "I don't ever want to see that waste of skin. I hate him." I figured as much as I grabbed my handbag after Wade called to the waiter for the bill.

Wade stared at his watch. "I think we can swing by there, if you're up for it."

My eyes widened as I gasped from excitement, "Really?"

He nodded, "It's not going to be the most fun seeing Randy, but Natalya is a good friend to us and we should see her on her birthday." The waiter had returned with the bill and after Wade checked it, he went up to the cashier to pay for it. I couldn't believe it. He wanted to go to the party, we were going. This proved to me that my husband was definitely back to his old self.

Wade returned and I grabbed onto his arm tightly, "I love you, this date has been amazing." I planted a kiss on his lips and then placed my hand in his.

"I love you too" he said as we got into the car.

…..

Natalya was dressed in her signature colour of pink as she approached John and Alex.

"Happy Birthday Nat" said John as he kissed her cheek.

"Thank you" she said as she gleamed back. She turned to Alex, "How are you feeling?" Natalya gazed down at Alex's stomach; of course there was nothing much there.

Alex lightly touched her tummy, "I'm feeling really good. Just taking this baby one step at a time."

John smiled at her, "Baby steps."

Natalya grinned at John's play on words, "Well if you guys have any questions or need any help at all then please give me a call."

"We will" said Alex, "Thank you Nattie, for all your help."

"She's a wonderful lady" voiced a deep opinion from behind them. Randy came from behind and wrapped his arms around Natalya affectionately, kissing her neck lightly.

"Why hello there Randy" she giggled.

"Are you having a good birthday?" he asked his girlfriend.

She nodded, "Definitely the best party, I've ever had."

"I'm glad" he said.

"Great job with all the pink Randy" said John.

"Hey, my lady loves pink and that's what she'll get" he said as he gazed back at her. The Canadian blushed as she felt his blue eyed stare. Alex chimed in excitement as she spotted someone walk into the house.

"It's Lea!" exclaimed Natalya as she ran toward the door.

"Wade came up with her" whispered John to Randy.

Randy sighed, "I'm going to see how the other people are doing." He left the group and went toward the kitchen.

Natalya beamed as she saw me and Wade walk inside hand in hand. "I'm so happy to see you guys!"

She was so excited it was quite overwhelming and cute at the same time. "Happy birthday beautiful" I said as I gave her a cuddle.

Wade gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Happy Birthday Natalya."

"Thanks you guys, I'm really happy to have you guys here" she said again.

"That's alright, anything for our favourite doctor" I said. Wade nodded. She spun around and led us to the living room which was filled of many people. The room was filled with pink balloons and streamers and you guessed it, a pink cake! We spotted Adele and Phil sitting together and Wade literally pulled me in their direction. I guess he was feeling a little uncomfortable here, being that Randy was here even though we hadn't seen him yet. Wade just wanted to be with people he liked and no one came closer than his buddy Phil. Adele glanced up and grinned at the sight of us, she punched Phil in the arm to get his attention.

I gave Adele a kiss on her cheek, "How are you?"

"I'm just fantastic" she said as she raised her glass of wine.

Phil smiled sarcastically, "Yeah, she's just been a real trip." The wedding planning had been taking a toll on the couple, I could see.

I patted his shoulder, "Don't worry once you'll get to your wedding day. It'll all be worth it."

"I hope so… I mean look at her! I've got her drinking her pain away and I'm straightedge!" exclaimed Phil.

Wade chuckled, "You two will be alright."

"We are thanks to you Wade, where would we be without your help" said Adele, "Seriously Lea, your husband is a saviour."

I kissed his cheek, "Aw. He's perfect isn't he?"

"I hate to say it, but I even think so" joked Phil, "He helped us a lot with the wedding planning. Even Sheamo!"

Wade bellowed out a laugh, "Well… with Sheamus that was more a friend to friend thing."

I suddenly scanned the room for the red haired Irishman, "Is Sheamus here?"

Adele nodded, "My brother should be around here somewhere."

I wanted to see how he was. "I'm just going to say hi to everyone else" I said to Wade.

He smiled, "Go ahead." Wade looked much happier to be with Adele and Phil. I moved through the room and outside.

"Lea!" I heard a female shriek that sounded British. "Lea!" she repeated.

I was met with my friend Layla, who looked to be enjoying herself. This intoxicated look n her big brown eyes as she stared at me. "Hello Lay."

"I'm so glad to see you, did Wade come as well?" she asked.

I grinned, "He did… He's inside."

"Yay I can finally meet this hubby of yours. I have someone for you to meet as well" she said excited.

"You're here with someone?" I asked. Finally my loyal assistant had found someone!

She nodded bashfully, "He's like the most decent guy I've ever met. He's a little different to the normal type that I go for, but I like him."

"Lead me to him then!" I said. She gripped my wrist and pulled me through to where I glanced to see a familiar person. His back was turned to me as he sat down on the chair with a beer in his hand.

"That's him" whispered Layla in my ear.

"Hi… Sheamus" I said standing behind him.

He turned around, getting off his chair with a look of surprise was on his face, "Hi."

"You know each other?" said Layla as she stood between us.

I nodded, "Of course, he's Adele's brother."

Layla looked at him with astonishment, "Really? Because you two don't look like each other at all!"

I couldn't help but smirk at Layla.

"Trust me, we're related" said Sheamus to her. He took her hand and led her toward the seat; it was obvious that she was just a little bit tipsy. "I think I gave you a little too much for you to handle."

"I can handle you" she spoke back as she snuggled herself in the chair. Sheamus took off his coat and gave it to her to use as a blanket. I watched them sweetly, they looked nice together.

Sheamus turned back and looked at me, but it wasn't so much a sweet look it was more of an annoyed glare. I couldn't understand why, I just ignored it.

"I was just looking for you. I see you've taken a liking to my friend" I joked with him.

"Hmm" he simply murmured. I couldn't understand why he wasn't talking to me as we normally did. Had I done something to anger him? His eyes then looked up and a smile came over his face, "What's the crack, Fella?" Sheamus put his hand out to shake Wade's hand.

"Evening Sheamus" said Wade after he shook the Irishman's hand. He stood himself by my side, "How's the party been?"

Sheamus turned back to look at Layla who was smiling up at us, "It's been alright."

Wade grinned as he looked at the English woman, "I bet it's been alright for you."

"That's my assistant, Layla" I said, "From the art gallery."

Wade chuckled as he put his hand out to her, "Nice to finally meet my fellow country woman. I've heard a lot about you."

"Nice to finally meet you too" said Layla beaming, "How was your evening spent with your wife?"

Wade turned to look at me, "We had a very nice evening together."

Sheamus smiled, "It's nice to see you and your lass are happy together." Sheamus sounded almost bitter.

"We've always been happy together" I said as I linked my arm with Wade's.

Sheamus smirked, "I'm sure you two are. Excuse me; I'm just going to get Layla some water."

Wade and I watched the Irishman walk away. I just couldn't comprehend his change of attitude. Maybe the stress of the wedding was getting to him too. The cold was unbearable but Wade wrapped me in his large arms to keep me warm. I didn't want to leave Layla on her own. "Unlucky guy" said Wade as he looked back at Sheamus.

"Why do you say that?" I asked him.

"When I went over to their place, he was telling me about how he had fallen in love with a woman here. He told me that her husband wasn't making her happy and that he hoped that she would feel the same way about him but she went back to her husband" explained Wade. "He really loves her. That husband must be a prick."

I sighed feeling sympathetic and relatable toward Sheamus. "I feel bad for him. I know what it's like to have someone you love reject you."

We saw Sheamus return with some water for Layla. Wade kissed my cheek, "Let's get you inside and enjoy this party" he whispered in my ear.

I nodded to him happily, "I actually want one of those pink drinks that everyone was drinking." I took my husband's hand and we went back inside.

LONG CHAPTER IS LONG! Hope you liked it! Don't forget to leave a review. Thank you lovely ladies.
