Cora tried to turn on her other side, but her leg was caught in something. There was also a heavy weight lying on her hair. Slowly she realised it was Robert, whose arm was on her hair and his leg was on hers.

After their lunch in Notting Hill, they walked towards The Moroccan Garden. From there they got down to the Thames River to stroll along the river. Robert picked a small pub for dinner, they stayed there the rest of the evening.

Back at home, Robert had shown her how much he loved and missed her. That night at the Folly had been wonderful, but this topped everything. She could definitely say that there was not a Robert-free zone anymore. She chuckled and tried to find a comfortable pose. She managed to free her leg. Robert stirred, his arm moved and Cora could free her hair. She curled up against Robert's chest, his arm wrapped around her and pulled her close. She inhaled deeply and tried to get some more sleep. Feeling Robert's heartbeat had a calming effect on Cora.

When she woke up again, her nose filled with the smell of breakfast. The spot next to her was empty. Cora stretched and decided to stay in bed for a minute longer. She wanted to immerse herself in this wonderful feeling. She knew it would be temporary. Real life was lurking around the corner, their blissful time together without anybody knowing they were back together would probably end soon. But for now, she was enjoying this time with just Robert and her.

"You are awake." Robert's voice sounded.

Cora gave him a mesmerising smile. "And you made breakfast."

Robert chuckled and crawled on the bed, leaning over Cora, his face inches from hers. "I hope you are hungry."

Cora's hands moved over Robert's upper legs, she felt his muscles and it aroused her. "Hungry for you?" She said with a low voice.

Robert kissed her neck. "I am not on the menu this morning."

Cora leaned back to give him more access, her hand moved to his buttocks and while she slowly moved one hand to his manhood, she whispered. "Are you sure?" Before he could answer she grabbed him.

Robert shuddered.

Cora started to unbutton her shirt and said seductively. "Because I am." She arched her back so her breasts were visible.

Robert gave in and dived into her. He kissed every inch of her before, he descended towards her core.

His fingers had started stroking her when a voice made him stop.

"Cora? Cora where are you, do not say you are still in bed."

Right before the bedroom door opened, Robert rolled off Cora. They both looked at the door in shock.

The woman in the doorway had the same shock on her face. Quickly Rosamund closed the door and they heard her repeatedly say: "I am sorry."

"Well, I think we have to write a new menu," Cora said jokingly and Robert burst out laughing. She kissed his cheek and softly stroked his cheek. "I am back."

Robert took her face in his hands. "Thank you. I do not know how I can thank you."

Cora was getting up and wrapped a night robe around her. "This morning was a good start."

Rosamund sat in the kitchen, waiting for Cora. She was vexed, that she had disturbed them. They needed anything but her disturbing them. She looked at the doorway when she heard steps coming down. Cora appeared in her night robe.

"I feel stupid for interrupting you." Rosamund said.

Cora shook her head, she filled a cup with hot water to make tea. She looked at the set table and chuckled, Robert had made a lot of effort she thought. "Do not be sorry, you could not have known Robert was here. Until yesterday afternoon I did not know he would be."

"Does this mean?" According to the blissful look on Cora's face, she knew the answer already.

Cora nodded and she felt her cheeks turning red. "Yes. I am going back."

Now Rosamund face lightened up. "So we will have a wedding in the near future?"

Cora chuckled. "Maybe, I do not know. He has not asked and we should talk about that first."

"What should we talk about?" Robert entered the kitchen and wrapped his arms around Cora's waist and pulled her closer.

Robert's warm hands on her belly made her weak inside. She placed her hands on top of Robert's and brushed her thumb over the back of his hand. "The future, how we will go on from here." She leaned against him.

Robert nestled his nose in Cora's loose curls. "I cannot wait to tell our girls the good news."

Cora let out a sigh of relief. Finally they had something good to tell the girls. "Mama will be delighted too, I guess."

"Mrs. Hughes will also be happy to see you back at Downton. I reckon." Rosamund added. "One person less to worry about."

"Less?" Robert said surprised. "I am bringing Cora back, so there will be a person more."

Both Rosamund and Cora started laughing. Robert did not understand what was happening. Why were they laughing, he had not said anything funny.

Cora turned around in his arms so she was facing him. "Darling, she does not have to worry about you anymore."

Robert smiled a sheepish smile. "Oh. Right." He kissed Cora's tempting lips.

"Enough fooling around. Eat your breakfast and go get dressed." Rosamund said. "I came to pick up Cora."

"Did we have an appointment?" Cora quickly turned back around and softly pushed Robert's hands off her. She felt Robert's disappointment.

"We did not, but I want to show you something."

"Can I come?" Robert asked. He did not want to let go of Cora already. He had hoped to spend this day together, before letting the world know they were back together.

"No, it is something I want to show Cora first."

"So I will also get to see it at some point?" Robert said hopeful.

"Probably yes. Please, Cora. Can you hurry a little bit? We have about 1 hour left."

Cora gave Robert an apologetic look and ate some toast. She felt guilty that she did not eat more of his breakfast. Although, it probably was already cold, after their interlude this morning
