Story: Never let me go…

Author: Herb3

Chapter 23: Crazy for this girl…

Lily was beaming down into her arms when I came into the front room. There was this little bundle in lying in her arms with they're little arms waving about over they're head. Little black hair was sticking out wildly all about. I smiled at the two of them, lily looked up at me with tired eyes. The baby had her eyes, those beautiful eyes that I've been in love with all of these years… the little boy smiled up at me, as if already knowing who I was. Lily lifted him up for me to hold him, I took him into my arms delicately not wanting to harm him. My first son… its was so surreal, I could barely contain myself. Lily was grinning at us from ear to ear, soft tears leaking down her face. I bent down and kissed her soundly on her mouth. I pulled back and smiled at her.

"We did well."

"I know." she said softly. She looked so tired.

"He's beautiful. He has your eyes." I chuckled.

"And your unruly hair." she snorted.

"Then he's perfect don't you think?" I smirked

"Of course."

"What shall we name him?"

"How about Christopher?" she asked.

I shook my head, "No, not Christopher."

"Harold?"

"Nah, how about… Harry? Just Harry?" I looked up at her.

"Alright. Harry James then?"

"And I was hoping it would be Harry Anne." I joked.

She shook her head. "Harry James Potter it is."

"Alright, but the girl will be some flower name then Anne, then Potter you know."

"What makes you even think that I'm going to through that hell again?" she wiggled her eye brow at me.

"Because were supposed to have two boys and one girl. A collie and a Mercedes in the drive way with a five bedroom house in Ipswich."

"Wow, I didn't know you had this all so figured out…" she widened her eyes dramatically.

"Oh yeah." I replied. "Of course."

"You should probably go and get your parents, they'll want to see they're grandchild."

"True." I handed little Harry back to her. She began to play with his arms.

"I guess after that have everyone else come in."

"Will do."

..L…I…N…E…B-R-E-A-K…

I was sitting looking up at the ceiling, I'd no idea that a woman just about to give birth could terrify me so easily. Gwen and Sirius walked into the kitchen with smiles on they're faces. Gwen hopped up on the counter and Sirius went to talk to the Potters.

"Well?" Aimee was asking.

Gwen smiled. "It's a boy."

"Oh how sweet. A baby boy." Rose cooed.

Gwen nodded and walked over to the sink where she began to make some tea. "Would anyone like a cuppa?"

"Oh that would be simply marvellous dear." Mrs. Potter walked over to Gwen and helped her with the tea kettle.

"How err.. Was it?" I asked Sirius who was standing with his back to Gwen.

"Well, I'll never be able to forget it. That's for sure." he shook his head.

"Son, wait until it's your own." Mr. Potter patted him on the shoulder.

I smiled. "That wont be to far off." I chuckled at him. He just glared at me.

"Is that so? How come you haven't told us yet?" Mrs. Potter asked from the stove.

"Well." He sighed. "I just found out recently, didn't want to steal Lily and James's thunder."

"Oh dear, how could you think that? Life is such a wonderful gift, it should always be celebrated." Mrs. Potter, Rose smiled over at him.

"So who is this lucky lady of yours Sirius?" Mr. Potter asked him knowingly.

"Gwen of course." I answered for him.

"Gwen dear is this true?" Mrs. Potter asked the flushed Gwen who was bent over desperately trying to find something I was pretty sure didn't at all exist.

"Yes." she replied.

"My dear you're not ashamed are you?" She asked.

"No, terrified is more like it." Sirius glared at her.

After banging her head accidentally on the cabinet ceiling, she pulled up and glowered at him. "Oh stuff it Black."

"All you care about is yourself!"

"No, I care about people living! Not dying because some idiot likes to control people's lives!"

"Don't call me an idiot. You couldn't fight! Damn it Gwen."

"Dears, fighting isn't always the answer." Rose Potter tut-ed (AN: remember in chapter 17, Rose is Mrs. Potter's name. Just rose not Rosalie like um Rosalie's…)

"Your right Mrs. P, its not. And these two goons have been at it all day." Remus shook his head.

It was then that James came into the room to get his parents telling the rest of us to come in ten minutes from then. They left.

"I'm going to bed." Gwen said glaring at Sirius while holding her tea softly.

"Your being rude Gwen." Sirius called after her.

"Stuff yourself. And you might think about finding somewhere else to sleep tonight."

"Cant you two ever get along?" Remus asked my brother who was fuming.

"No! She's too bloody die happy. I swear she has a hidden agenda for it. First she fakes her own death. Then she gets kidnapped by Moldy. And now she wants to not only take her own bloody life, but our child's. She's a suicide queen!" he swore loudly after that.

"Now Sirius, that's not fair you know. All she wasn't to do is help, she's not suicide happy." Aimee glared at him and walked off to find Gwen.

"I'm siding with those two here." Rosalie gave him a heavy glance, and stalked off after the other two.

"Women." Sirius shook his head.

"And me." Remus left too, leaving Sirius, Severus and I.

"Well shall we go and meet the little one. Those four will later I'm assuming." Severus asked.

"Yeah." I nodded my head and all three of us followed him into the front room.

…L…I…N…e…B…r…E…a…K…

August arrived with the arrival of a new loved one. Many a days were spent to holding him and cooing over him. Lily was up and moving in now time flat after the birth. Rosalie and Nymphadora had both moved into the house on Godric's hill. Severus spent numerous hours with Rose though, Gwen was ecstatic. Aimee and Regulus spent a lot of time hulled up in their room, just spending as much time as possible together. Sirius and Gwen were still fighting, even though it neared two weeks after the incident. Remus managed to become manager of his bookstore, a feet that earned him lots of hugs from the women of the house, including young Nymphadora. Life was moving swiftly, it wasn't until the 15th of August that anyone had the chance to slow down and just live…

"Gwen! Rose! Aimee!" Nymphadora came running into the kitchen clutching a piece of parchment.

"What is it dear?" Rose asked the excited girl.

"I got my Hogwarts letter, this is my Hogsmeade form!" she smiled brightly at the trio of tea drinking women.

"Oh how wonderful dear." Rose winked at us.

"So who's going to sign it? It says that there needs to be a parent or guardians signature."

"Well I'm sure one of your cousins will sign it." Rose replied to the jubilant young girl.

"Will you Gwen? I'm sure Minnie will accept that."

"I guess." Gwen smiled pulling a quill and ink pot from out of a drawer. She signed the slip and handed it back to Nymphadora.

"Thanks!" Nymphadora took off running back up the stairs.

"Well that was rather interesting. She seemed pretty happy given the situation. Poor girl, is too strong for her own good." Aimee commented.

"I agree." Rose replied.

It was then that a Severus Snape walked into the room. His hair was matted and greasy, appearing that he'd not slept in a few days time. He descended into a chair next to rose and held his head up by his palm. He'd spent the last week doing errands for Voldemort. Go here, then make a trip there… it was getting to be too much for the young wizard. He'd hardly had a chance to even sleep this past week. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, savouring the rich and delicious taste of Gwen's Earl Grey tea, it was always much better when she made it.

"The Dark lord is on a rampage. He can't find any information about you Gwen, its making him furious. He slaughtered a whole slew of servants last night when they returned from a spree. They didn't get anything so he just killed them." the man sighed down into his tea.

Rose began to pat him on the back soothingly. "It's ok dear."

"No, its not. I don't want to do this anymore, I want to pick a side. Not sidle between the two."

"Severus, maybe we could just kill him." Gwen suggested.

"How so?" he laughed. "The Dark Lord has servants around him continuously."

"Is there any way?" she asked him.

"I dunno." he took another drink of his tea.

"I'm sure that one day we will find a way." Rose suggested.

"I hope so." Aimee sighed.

"Well let's just think positively." Gwen sighed. It was then that Harry, whom was sleeping upstairs gave a loud cry. As Lily and James were both at work, Gwen was charged with taking care of the infant. She left quickly to see what the matter was.

"Are she and Sirius ever going to stop fighting?" Aimee asked Rose and Severus.

Severus snorted. "Well… they did hate each other almost all of our Hogwarts years."

"She loves him, she's just very angry with him." Rose sighed.

"I remember one time, during your guy's fifth year, Sirius and James had just got done beating up this poor slytherin that had just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lily was furious and stomped away leaving Gwen behind her. Gwen nearly hexed Sirius to death. He went to the hospital needing to get something reattached" Aimee laughed.

"No!" Rose said in shock.

"Oh yeah…" Aimee nodded.

Severus shook his head tiredly, "Those two fought continuously throughout our years."

"Severus dear, why don't you go and get some rest?" Rose patted her friend on the back.

"Is there someone in the last guestroom?" he asked.

"Umm no, but Lily and James are fixing it up to be a nursery for the babies."

"Oh. So then your room?"

"Yes, I think that would be fine." she smiled at him as he finished his tea and retreated.

…L…I….N….E…b…r….e…a..k…

I woke up to see the sun set out of rose's window. I sighed and rolled over stuffing my head under her pillow. My thoughts drifted to the girl, she was… I really don't know. What I do know is that I love her… or so I think. I've never thought about someone the way I thought about her. Not even Lily. It weirded me out a bit though, that I had these feelings for her. For anyone for that matter. It was then that I heard her come into the room. Her soft long sandy hair was falling over her face as she bent over to pick up some thing off of the floor.

"Rose?" I pulled my head out from under one of her pillows.

"Oh I didn't wake you up did I?" she asked her eyes widening.

"No." I sat up and smiled at her.

"Oh ok…"

"What are you doing?"

"Just getting some nightclothes. I'm sort of tired and I'm bunking with Gwen tonight as Sirius is still kicked out as she says." She grinned at me brightly.

"I can leave if you want. I'm up now anyways…"

"Oh no, you look so incredibly tired. Go to sleep, it will make you feel so much better."

"I can't just take your bed." I chuckled at her. I… was chuckling?

"Oh no, it's quite alright."

"No its not. Here, I can go and camp in with Remus and Sirius…"

"Oh dear, its fine."

"No its not. I won't feel right about it."

"Oh Severus, it's quite alright dear. No need to feel bad."

"No.."

"Oh please let's not fight. I'm sure it will be fine."

Sighing. "Rose please do this for me." Merlin I was crazy for this girl…

She looked at me softly. "I have only one request then…"

"Name it and it's done."

"We share the bed, that can't be all bad can it?"

"I guess not."

"Alright then" she smiled and crawled into the bed next to me.

I laid down next to her and closed my eyes…

…LINE…break…

I decided that today was a good day, for some reason. As rose hadn't turned up in my room last night I was curious. And so as I was curious there was only one way to sustain this, to go and find out… I padded down the hall way quietly to Rose's room. I pulled open the door quietly, very sneakily. The sight in happened upon made me whimper in delight. They were both cuddled up together sleeping softly. So happily, I left the room and skipped down to make breakfast.

I walked into the kitchen to find Sirius asleep on the table next to a cup of coffee. I'd just bet that he'd spent the whole night awake, having no where else to go to sleep at. Guilt immediately consumed me, this was my doing. He was spending the nights sleeping wherever he could, mostly on the couch in Remus's room. I walked over to him and slowly shook him awake. He awoke groggily, blinking a few times before he could fully take in his surroundings. He sighed and then glared at me, which was something in all honesty that I did deserve.

"Go up to our room and sleep ok." I said taking his cup over to the sink.

"I have work in three hours."

"I'll wake you up in two and a half. Go and sleep, you need it to think."

"Why do you care?"

Glaring, I turned around. The idiot. "Because I love you, you dolt."

"Oh really? couldn't have guessed."

"Look, go and sleep. I'll leave you alone and will have someone else wake you up. Is that fair?"

"It would be nice to sleep in my own bed again."

"Then tonight I'll sleep somewhere else." I snapped.

"I didn't…"

"Too late, go and sleep."

"Fine!" he stormed up the steps and Dora came down.

"Morning Gwen!" she smiled at me brightly.

"Good morning my dear."

"Are you and Siri' ever going to get along again?" she plopped down in a chair.

"Well yes, soon I hope."

"Good morning everyone!" Remus came down the stairs happily.

"What are you looking so chipper about?" I asked taking a cup of coffee to him.

"I had an erm… friend over last night." he grinned at me happily.

"Is that why I found Sirius sleeping on the table this morning?"

"Yeah." he grinned sheepishly.

"So where is this friend and what is her name?"

"Cecilia. And she's still sleeping, she'll be down when she's awake though." he drank the coffee greedily.

"What's a girlfriend Gwen?" Dora asked me shyly, blushing badly.

"Well it's a friend, that's an err… girl." I placed a piece of toast in front of her until I was done with the breakfast that I just decided would be chocolate chip pancakes.

"Well will that make you my girlfriend?" she took a bite of her toast.

"Umm dear, did your parents ever have the whole birds and bee's chat with you?" I asked her, setting some toast in front of Remus, who just smirked at my situation.

"What do the birds and bee's do?"

"Umm. Well love, let me talk to Sirius, and we'll up tell you."

"But what does boyfriend mean?"

"Umm well, Regulus and Aimee are boyfriend and girlfriend…"

"Oh so you mean when you're in love?"

"Yes dear, exactly."

She smiled. "So does that mean you and Sirius are in love?"

Remus burst out in laughter. "Yes Nymm, it does."

"Oh…"

The rest of preparing breakfast went in a similar manner. it wasn't until the arrival of Remus's friend Cecilia came, did things get… interesting. Lily and James were eating, looking all lovey dovey at each other while feeding Harry. Severus and Rose turned up hand in hand, which earned a huge smile from me. Aimee came down with Regulus and they both busied themselves with eating they're pancakes. Cecilia walked in haughtily, looking for Remus. He smiled at her and pointed to a spot next to him.

"Good morning Cecilia." he smiled at her.

"Morning Remus." she sat down.

"Coffee?" I asked, noticing that I had to go and wake Sirius up in a half hour.

"Yes, of course." she shook her head all bitch like.

"Alright." I handed her a mug and pointed to the coffee pot, this girl was already irritating me greatly.

She looked at me appalled. "You are the maid correct? Go and get it for me." she cocked her head.

"Umm, no I'm a person. Not your bloody maid. You can get it yourself." I glared at her and left the room.

She was horrible, with her bleach blonde hair and fake nails… so irritated, I climbed the stairs up to my room only to remember that Sirius was sleeping. Not really caring, I walked in and sat down on the couch near the window. I glared out into the gardens, noticing rain in the distance, once again. I growled and grabbed a wrap that was stashed under the settee. I cuddled into a ball and silently cried, damn these hormones, was it this bad for lily? I let my thoughts drift over to Sirius, who was sleeping soundly. He deserved a day off… I figured that maybe if I were to floo Moody…

I sat up and walked over to my fire place, said the password to get through and found my head in Moody's office. He was glowering over a couple of reports. His foe glass was setting to the left, odd shapes of green were staring back at me.

"Moody." I spoke, breaking his concentration.

"Constant Vigilance! Ackles what are you doing in my office, don't you know that it's not safe. Especially after your mungo's visit?" he glared at me.

"Umm yes. It's just that Sirius is really sick, and he needs to stay home today. Is that cool or no?"

"Its fine, tell him he better be at the meeting tonight! He's a mission."

"Tonight?"

"Yes."

"Why am I never informed of these things?"

"He didn't tell you?"

"No, I guess I better go and pick a bone with him. Talk to you tonight Alistair." I pulled back to my room to find Sirius looking at me funnily.

"Where'd you floo to?" he smiled.

"Moody's."

"What for?"

"To get you sleeping time. I told him that you are sick, and your about to be bloodied so I'd just lay back down and pretend to be sleeping if I were you."

"Oh yeah? Why is that?" "The fact that you didn't tell me about the meeting tonight!"

"Your pregnant, you don't need to go."

"Lily always went! Why cant I?"

"Gwen, I just want you to rest." he sighed.

I glared at him. "I want to help, at least in the smallest possible way…"

"I just want you to be safe…"

"Its not like I'm going on raids with you guys. I just want to help with something, anything." I said exasperated.

"I know you do honey, I just need to know that your ok. Not half dead or kidnapped by that sick fuck again!"

"I wont go anywhere. Just let me be a part please? that's all I ask. Just because I once was kidnapped by the freak doesn't mean it's going to happen again. And so what if I'm pregnant, lily was an auror up until she was 7 months pregnant, I'm 1!"

"I know, I… fine ok. Just try to be careful…"

I grinned and jumped on the bed. "Alright." I rolled my eyes happily. "So Remus has this new err… bed buddy If you will. And she's a bitch."

"Wait… Remus had sex?" he looked at me astonished. "My little Remus who doesn't do anything other than wank?"

"Sirius! Must you resort to the speak of wanking?"

"Well you know, I did have a few wanks with you as…" I cut him off.

"Don't want to know…"

"In fact, just last night…"

"Sirius!"

"I'm only joking love, only joking."

…li…ne…bre…ak…-line break-

Gwen and Sirius walked down the stairs hand in hand, it made a small smile appear on my face, I knew it wouldn't take those two goons long. James and Lily had skipped off to work, Regulus and Aimee left to do Merlin knows what; Severus had to run off to the dick head again and Rose went upstairs to sleep. I smiled over at Cecilia, she was so extraordinarily beautiful. I was just over come with her radiant beauty. And to think, I was with her last night. I often think about Phoebe, and how much I loved her. I also came to the understanding that I was simply not meant to love. Sex was all I was ever going to get, once Cecilia found out about my condition she was bound to leave. That thought made me sad though, I wanted what Sirius and Gwen have, what James and Lily have… what Phoebe and I once had…

"Remus! My cutsie, handsome lover. I'm afraid I must leave, I have business to get to." The, no my blonde said.

"Alright. When will I see you again?" Gwen rolled her eyes at me, though it didn't matter, I was hoodwinked by Cecilia.

"Tonight! We can pick up where we left off…"

"Sounds great." I smiled up at her.

"Oh gods, this is making me want to vomit." Gwen said over some pancakes.

"Listen you ingrate, don't say that type of stuff to my Remus and I" Cecilia snapped at Gwen who took off running to a toilet.

"She's having morning sickness you hag!" Sirius tore off after Gwen.

"Remus, your friends don't like me, do they?"

"Oh Cecilia, they just don't know you. And Gwen is pregnant. She's got a problem with getting sick from her favourite things like pancakes and the honey dukes chocolate I bring home for her every night."

"You what?"

"I'm not quite following my little vixen…"

"Why do you bring her home chocolate? Are you two having some fling or something?"

"Cecilia, she's one of my best friends, she's like my sister that I've never had. Why would I… I… she's my friend…"

"Alright." she moved her head around snottily. God's I was crazy for this girl.

"So I'll see you tonight?"

"Yep.."

-line-break-for-the-pimping-Remus-Lupin-

The house was quiet, very quiet when I came in through the floo. James was being comforted by Lily; and every one else was simply moping around. Gwen was cooking, a normal for her. Sirius was sitting with Remus and Regulus, looking lost. It didn't make any sense to me, I didn't know what was wrong. Rose walked up to me with a smile on her face, leading me up the stair case. So naturally I followed her. We reached her room where she pulled open the door and pushed my lightly inside. Confused I asked,

"What's going on?" I sat down on the bed.

She sighed, looking distraught. "There was a death this morning, its affecting everyone a lot, cant walk about the room with out starting to get tears in your eyes." she sat down next to me.

"Who was it? Was it a death eater affiliated attack?"

"It was James's father, and yes, McNair got him…"

Why hadn't I know about this? "That's awful… really."

I know my dear, I know…

--line--break--for--rose--and--Sev--

"Wait we need a what?" Lily asked me critically, as if I'd gone completely insane.

"We need a dinner party, with everyone here!"

"Oh, let me get this strait… My father-in-law was just killed yesterday, and you think we need a dinner party?" she asked shaking her head unbelievably.

"Lily, we need something to be happy about! I'm even going to invite Peter!" I smiled.

"We haven't seen him for months…"

"I know, that's why I invited him."

"Wait you've already done it?"

"Yes Lily, I have. In fact, almost everyone else already knows about it, its going to be a big order shindig!"

"Gwen, have you lost your bloody mind?"

"No Lily, I have not. Come on, this is practically the only thing I get to remotely help out with. Please? In times like these we need to band together, live with love and laughter, with no regrets."

"I think you've gone bonkers Gwen, really I have…"

"Come on, Mrs. P needs some cheer! it's a good idea and you know it…" I smiled sheepishly at her.

"Have you asked James?"

"He was the first person I asked, he just told me that you're the only person I really needed the permission from…"

"Alright." she glared at me before leaving the room to go and check on Harry.

I pulled my roast out of the oven and placed it on the cool marble counter top before busying myself with my mashed potatoes. Once I'd finished with that I worked on my chocolate gateau, mixing up the batter happily. I pulled my chocolate chip cookies out from the second oven and placed the on a cooling rack, I guess baking and cooking was I was really good for these days… it was then that Dora came down the kitchen stairs happily, pulling along a broomstick and a smile. She stopped at the cookies and her eyes widened with excitement, I figured that Remus had competition…

"Gwen, can I have one?" she asked me excitedly.

"On one condition…" I put my gateau into the oven to cook its two and a half hours.

"Ok!"

"Let me go and get my broom and we'll have a ride about ok?"

"Deal!" she grabbed a cookie and grinned.

--Line--break--for--Lily--Gwen--and--Nymm!--

"Ok everyone, the feast is served, we can now all eat!" Sirius said happily setting the last bowl of food upon the overly laden table. He sat down next to me and smiled.

"So why exactly are we having this party?" Peter asked me critically.

"Pete, come on. I haven't seen you since I've been back! I missed you, you little bugger." I rumpled his hair as he sat on my other side.

"I've been busy, with mum ill and all."

"We know, we've just missed you loads!" I smiled helping myself to some salad.

"Missed you too. So I hear that you've got a little bit of Padfoot here a cooking in the oven." he smirked.

"Yup. Now before it happened, I did have my fair share of being preggers with the mad bastard's kid. But I decided hey, what the hell. Lily and James cant have all the fun now can they?"

"Well I'm excited. First its little Prongs, then Little Padfoot. Maybe there will be a little Moony on the way… eh Remus."

Remus who had been gazing at Cecilia longingly turned for a brief moment and smiled. "Hmmph."

"He's a bit obsessed with miss Bitch over there." I snorted. Unfortunately it was then that the 'Bitch' looked my way.

"Watch who your calling bitch you stupid whore." she snarled at me.

I take this wasn't a bright thing to do, as I was overly hormonal and crazed with anger at this point due to her. "Listen, Cecilia. You may think your all top dog, getting Remus to act like a love sick goon and all, but you are a bitch. And I'm not the only person who's voiced this opinion."

"Oh go and have your little sex toy there next to you lay you."

I glowered at the girl. "Shut your face fick geshicht! This is my bloody party and your going to shut your trap." I crammed a fork full of salad into my mouth angrily.

"Whatever." she shook her head while giving me a hand. She was a real drama queen. That was for sure…

"Well, back to better topics. How's the little Padfoot coming eh?"

"Well you know Pete, its what? A month since conceived… its coming along fine."

"You two didn't waste time did you?"

Sirius laughed. "Mate, it took me about three hours until I got her upstairs and in my arms."

I whacked him upside the head. "Nice way to put it."

"Well, it's the right way." he grinned at me.

"Do you want to find yourself sleeping with Remus again tonight?"

"No." he kissed me on the cheek.

"Your charm isn't going to save you Sirius."

"I know…"

"You two are nuts. I remember you distinctly telling Sirius one time, valentines day our sixth year to be exact..

'Black, I will only love you when I'm able to drink ice water in hell!' you screamed at him.

'Oh Ackles, I do know your going to hell, but that would be when hell freezes over.'

'Gahh! Fuck you Black. Merlin I hate you with the heat of a thousand burning sons!"

"Good times eh Pads?" Peter chuckled at the both of us.

"Oh yeah Wormtail, the best…"

"So Pete, how are my potatoes?"

Meanwhile, a bit further down the table, Nymphadora was carrying on a rather interesting conversation with Alistor Moody.

"Wow kid, that's pretty impressive." he noted her abilities as a Metamorphmagus.

She grinned. "I can be anyone! It's wicked cool."

"That it is. I'd give it a few years time, and you'll be an Auror."

"Really? Wouldn't that be the best?"

"Eh, it's not what it's all cracked up to be." he took a drink from his flask.

"Mr. Moody, why do you drink from a hip flask?"

"Well dear, that's a good question. I don't trust anyone; you never know who's on the bad side."

Her eyes widened. "Oh… but you can trust Gwen! I even helped her prepare the food!"

He chuckled at her. "I trust Gwen; it's just the drink I don't trust. You never know when someone's slipped you something."

"Oh…"

"Squirt, I think you'd better eat those veggies of yours. You need the strength, and I've noticed you picking at them for over an hour." He chuckled down at the little Metamorphmagus.

An: Oh my bloody Merlin! That was soo long… I just had a bunch of key plot points that I needed to get in, and it took forever to get them. They were thus…

Crazy for this girl. 23

Herb3

Ooooh! Here is a sneak peak for the next chapter! Dedicated to Call me green eyes!

"Look, I know that we've been at each others throats lately." he sighed stuffing his hand into his pocket, feeling around for something. "But that doesn't change what is." he dropped down to one knee. "Gwen I love, and I know that you know that." he pulled a blue velvet box from his pocket. "Marry me?" he grinned at me sheepishly…
