PIPER'S POV:
I made my way into the kitchen, hopping up onto the worktop, my head tilting as I bit my bottom lip softly as I watched Tyler stand at the fridge, looking to see what he could make us…
"Enjoying the view?" he asked, snapping me from my trance
I smiled at him warmly and nodded my head… "Very much so. So, what are we having?"
"Why don't we head out somewhere seeing as though we've got some time to ourselves?" he suggested
"Where were you thinking?" I questioned
"We could head into the city; make a start on our Christmas shopping and have lunch. What do you think?" he asked
"Okay." I replied "Sounds good."
TYLER'S POV:
"Okay, seriously, how cute would Eden look in this?" Piper questioned as she turned to me, an elf outfit in hand
"She'd look beautiful, just like she always does." I replied
"You're not having fun, are you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at me
"What makes you think that?" I inquired
"I know you and I can see it on your face." she informed me "This was your idea…"
"I'm sorry, I'm just tired." I admitted
"Well why don't we head back then?" she suggested
"No, you're enjoying yourself and that's what counts." I replied "Carry on."
"But if you're tired, you should be resting, not shopping. What if you fall asleep at the wheel driving us back or something?" she questioned
"We could always stay the night?" I asked
"Stay the night, in the city?" she inquired
"Yeah, what do you think?" I questioned "We could think of it as a little honeymoon…"
"What about Mum?" she asked "She's got Eden. It wouldn't be fair on her."
"I'm sure she'd be fine with it." he replied "There's no harm in ringing her and asking."
She pursed her lips together nervously… "Okay."
PIPER'S POV:
"Hi, sweetheart," Mum greeted me as she answered the phone "is everything okay?"
"Everything's fine," I replied "I'm just calling to ask a favour."
"Okay. What is it?" she questioned
"Tyler and I are in the city, and I was wondering if you'd be okay to have Eden for the night," I informed her "we'd like to stay and call it a little honeymoon. I totally get it if it's too short notice…"
"It's fine." she interjected
"It is?" I inquired
"Of course," she replied "you two have a lovely night. We'll see you tomorrow."
"Thank you. I'll call you later so we can say goodnight to Eden." I informed her "You know you can call me if there's any problems."
"We'll be just fine." she assured me "Relax and enjoy your time with your husband. I think you sometimes forget you're both still young. Just enjoy yourself."
"Okay." I replied "Thank you, Mum. I love you."
"I love you too." she mirrored "Take care and have fun."
TYLER'S POV:
"So?" I asked Piper as she made her way back over to me
"She's fine with it." she informed me "Looks like we need to find a place to stay."
"I've got that sorted." I admitted
"What?" she questioned "How?"
"Just now while you were talking to your Mum." I informed her
"How did you know she'd say yes?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow at me
"Does it matter?" I asked "We're here, and we're kid free! As much as I love Eden, we need time for us, so let's just enjoy it and go and get checked in."
"Okay." she replied, smiling at me warmly as I took her hand in mine
