The Age of The Masrui

"Lets get these off, mm?" Ronan hummed then, fiddling with her top.

“Only if you don’t say anything...” Bella whispered as she looked down, gently taking over his hands.

((You not wanting to carry on with Dorian and Odette?))

"If I don't say anything?" Ronan frowned, leaning back then. "What's wrong."

(( Yes! I just don't know when yet. Want to get to my laptop and the weekend is looking a bit hectic right now ))

((Fair enough ))

“The weight thing...”

"I can't promise we won't be having a conversation about it if it is extreme." Ronan whispered

“Just forgetting to eat here and there. Its nothing major.” Bella shook her head, doing the buttons back up on her shirt. “It’s been hectic here, I’ve been juggling the kids and getting Esme settled into school and Eric into his new playgroup to keep them socialised and visits to see you and - I’ve not even been to see my dad yet and work - helping Reid out so he didn’t get swamped and sorting the house and the kids out at night... just been busy...”

"So, it is extreme then..." Ronan frowned, leaning over to kiss her forehead gently. "I'm sorry, my love."

“It’s just stress, nothing to worry about. It happens to everyone.” Bella insisted quietly, “No I’m sorry… not the homecoming I had planned for you… I was gonna get dressed up and make it special...”

"We have all the time in the world for that."

“You just said you missed it... we still can...”

"If you're not confident right now, I'm not going to push you. What's another few weeks, hm?"

“I’m sorry… this isn’t what I wanted you coming home to be like.. I had it all planned and it’s gone wrong. I’ve just missed you so much...” Bella moved to cover her face with her hands then, suddenly overwhelmed.

"Don't... this is perfect." He promised, tugging her against his chest and leaning his head against hers. "Just being at home with you is great, it'll be perfect when the kids get home."

“It’s been so hard without you. Everything’s been so hard and I didn’t have you to come home to talk to at the end of the night. I didn’t have the answers to the questions the kids were asking, I couldn’t help you and you were so low and I - “ Bella cried then, curling into him. “I’ve missed you...”

"I'm here now.... it- it's over. I've got you."

“I’m sorry... this should’ve been better. I had balloons and a banner and I was gonna dress up and you’ve come home to a messy house and no decorations and me in the state I am...”

"Stop, stop." Ronan frowned, kissing the top of her head. "It isn't important."

“No. No it is. You go upstairs and have a nap? Take a bottle up with you? Your tablet is up there, catch up on stuff? Give me an hour or so to pull everything together and we get a do over of you coming home? The kids and your brother should be home by then too. Please? Give me a chance to pull it together?”

"I would rather you come upstairs and nap with me, Bella... really."

“Just wanted to make things nice for you... you deserve it. Deserve it all...”

(( If you want to play anyone else feel free to throw something up ))

""All I need.... all I want is you."

“If you’re sure... an hour or so sleep sounds good...” Bella nodded, swallowing thickly.

---

((Will do soon, just sorting dinner! anyone in mind?))

(( Anyone at all! I am on my phone though so forgive me if I am slow ))

---

"Well then," Ronan whispered, keeping her in his arms as he got to his feet - carrying her toward the bedroom. "Lets sleep,"

((I’m on my phone like 90% of the time so don’t worry We can park the Dorian and Odette drama if you want and just go from where they were before Anthony walked in?))

---

“Forever sweeping me off my feet...” Bella mused with a warm smile, burying her head in the crook of his neck.

(( I hate doing that, feel uncreative I just need to think about where exactly I want to go with it, winging it wasn't quite working - do you have any suggestions? ))

"Now it is your go for some TLC."
