Dessie is an angel on the flight. I saw the disapproving looks of the other first class passengers when we got on and got her settled, but one evil look from papa and they kept their heads down. She's asleep in her travel cot now, Dean is in the shower and I'm staring out the window of the most impressive hotel I have ever set foot in. "Whatcha thinking about?" he asks from behind me. I spin around and catch my breath. His hair is dripping, and he has a towel loosely tied around his waist. "How lucky I am" I say quietly. "Got my perfect little family. It's all I've ever wanted." He smiles. "Our perfect little family" he corrects, walking over to me. I nod and look up at him. "You're fucking perfect Jon" I moan as I look into his eyes. He shakes his head and I frown. "I'm only perfect when I'm with you" he whispers. "Without you, I'm a mess." I hug him and he moans. "Doll you'll get all wet" he says, before groaning and pulling me closer to him. "I just wanna hold you forever" he whispers, kissing my head. I nod and step back from him, lifting my shirt over my head as I move. He bites his lip and watches as I slide my jeans down my legs, sitting on the bed to kick them off. I stand up and look at him. "Come on then Ambrose" I say. He growls and quickly dries himself off before ditching the towel and jumping into bed. He does exactly as he said he would. He holds me all night long.
His phone ringing wakes us the next morning. "Seth" he croaks. "This better be good, even Dessie is still sleeping! What? No, we're not in that hotel, I changed it. Palms. Only the best for my woman. Uh, yeah, sure, I'll meet you downstairs in like, half an hour ok?" He hangs up and cuddles back into me. "You gotta meet Seth?" I ask. "Yeah" he moans. "But first I gotta say good morning to my beautiful fiancée, hence the half an hour wait for ninja boy." I laugh and roll over to face him. "Well good morning beautiful" he moans, his mouth crashing down onto mine straight away.
He leaves to meet Seth with two minutes to spare. Dessie is still sleeping so I quickly shower and get dressed while I wait for her to wake. I'm on my second coffee when she finally stirs. "Hey princess" I whisper as I pick her up. I lay on the bed with her as I feed her. She's just finishing her bottle when Dean walks in with a huge garment bag. "The actual fuck is that?" I ask. He smiles as he hangs it on the rail in the closet. "That, my dear" he says. "Is courtesy of Michelle. It's your dress to go out for cocktails with the girls tomorrow while I look after our daughter." I shake my head. "This trip was supposed to be about us Jon" I say as he takes Dessie from me. He nods as he kisses her head. "It is" he says. "It's also about you being able to enjoy yourself in Vegas. The girls wanted to throw you a party, so this is what they're doing." "Girls, as in?" I ask. "Bellas, Layla, Nattie, Chelle, Trinity, Ariane" he says. "I think Summer and AJ tried to weasel their way in but that kinda got shot down straight away." I nod. "Ok" I sigh. "For the girls. But I'm not staying out all night Jon." "Never expected you to doll" he says smiling. My phone rings and he smiles. "That'll be Chelle" he says laying Dessie down to change her. I look at it and nod. "Hey" I say answering it. "Lobby, now." she says and hangs up. "Well go" Dean says smiling. "How did you know?" I ask standing up. "I'm just that good, Ms Good" he smirks, winking. I pull my converse on and kiss him quickly. "I won't be long" I say. "Today is about memories with you and our daughter, not separate outings." He nods. "See you soon momma" he says, making Dessie wave, I kiss them both and head down to the lobby to meet Michelle.
"What's so urgent?" I ask as soon as I get out of the lift. She smiles. "Nothing" she says walking over to me and leading me to a seat. "Just wondered how things are going, that's all." "Good" I admit, sitting down. "No demons yet." She nods. "Seth has a few" she finally says. "Turns out he's in the same room you both ran to after you left Jon." "Shit" I groan. She nods. "He's ok Tor" she says. "He had a few pints of man up juice last night..." "You got here last night?" I ask quickly. She nods. "We didn't tell you guys because we wanted to give you time to get used to being here again." I nod. "Ok" I say slowly. "So what's all this about cocktails tomorrow?" She smiles. "Straight from the show" she says. "So make sure you take the dress with you. Jon is bringing Dessie back here with a few of the guys. It's all planned, all you gotta do is turn up." I nod. "Ok" I finally agree. "I better go back up to Jon. This extra day is supposed to be us making new memories." She nods. "I'll see you at the arena tomorrow" she says, waving as I get in the lift.
