Recap:

"What the hell are you two doing in here with Brittney naked?" A voice says.

BRITTNEY POV

------------

Everyone in the bathroom turns their head to the door. We all see Liam clenching my pajamas, breathing like a bull. "G-guys can you please leave? I need to talk to Liam." I ask. Zayn and Aaron both nod and walk out of the bathroom shutting the door behind them. "Brittney why would you let them see your body!?" Liam screams. "I was crying Liam! They came in to comfort me!" I yell. "Brittney, don't lie." Liam pleas. "I'm not lying. Why would I even lie to you? I was looking at my scars and started crying." I answer. Liam walks closer to me and pulls me close."You shouldn't cry." Liam says. "These scars made you strong." Liam coos. "I know that now." I answer. "Okay, how about you get in the bath so it doesn't get cold." Liam grins. "Okay." I laugh. I pull away from Liam and step into the tub. I feel the hot water run against my skin. I let out a deep breath and sink further in the water. Liam sits down on the edge of the tub. "Li, you seem stressed. Do you wanna join?" I ask. Liam nods slowly. He quickly gets up while taking off his shirt and socks. As he strips my heart races and so does my mind.

After he's fully stripped, he steps into the tub. "We haven't done this in a while." Liam smiles. I blush while scooting closer to Liam. I cuddle closer to Liam as he wraps his arm across my bare stomach. "Brittney, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I love you so much, I can't control it." Liam sighs. "Liam, I forgive you. You're my fiance' what can I say? Couples get into fights." I laugh. Liam pecks my lips and smiles. I rest my head on top of Liam's shoulder. Liam presses kisses against my forehead. "Britt, I have to go on tour soon. I wanted to know if you would come with me." Liam says while scratching his neck. "Liam, I would love too, but Talia. What about her? What about Tatum?I haven't been with either of them in a year." I answer. "Brittney, Talia can come." Liam smiles. I squeal and hug Liam pecking his cheek and neck. Liam's face gets more serious. "How about you, Talia and I all go out to a nice dinner and maybe you can have some desert together?" Liam smirks. Liam lays his head on my shoulder, hiding his face in my neck. "I love you." Liam whispers. "I love you too." I reply.

The water runs cold as Liam and I cuddle together. "I think it's time for us to get out Li. I don't want to look like a prune. I'm already ugly enough." I laugh. "Brittney you're beautiful." Liam scolds. I blush a bright pink and feel the radiance fly from my skin. Liam pecks my lips and stands up to walk out of the tub. He laces his hands in mine and pulls me out of the tub. Liam wraps the blue towel around his waist and hands me the pajamas he picked out for me. I unfold them and see that he chose my spandex and Green Day t-shirt. "Li, you know me so well, it's like a cliche' movie." I giggle. "I know love." Liam beams. He pulls me close and wraps the blue towel around my body so our bodies touch. The blush rushes to my cheeks like a meteor coming towards the earth. "I love it when you blush Brittney." Liam admires. "Liam, stop it! I'm gonna be redder than a tomato if you keep this up!" I squeal.

I quickly hide my face in Liam's bare chest. Liam combs his hands through my damp and tangled hair. I start to realize how cold it is inside the bathroom until a cold breeze hits my back, causing me to shiver. "Let's get you into those pajamas. You're getting cold, I can tell." Liam smiles. I nod and grab the green underwear and sports bra Liam had picked out. "How did you know that I wear sports bras at night? I never wear them around you." I question. "I know that you hate wearing bras at night so I just assumed." Liam shrugs. "Well, thank you Li." I grin. I put the undergarments on and my damp hair allows water to drip down my legs. Liam walks out of the bathroom, putting on his boxers. leaving me to myself to get dressed. I pull the t-shirt over my head and walk out grabbing the shorts to put on in the bedroom.

I see Liam sitting on the bed with his back facing me. I tip-toe closer to him see that he's braiding Talia's hair. "You learned how to braid her hair?" I ask. "She always wanted braids. She lived with the mates and I, so I had to learn to be a good dad." Liam beams. I grin as Liam finishes braiding Talia's hair. "You're such a good dad Li." I compliment. I peck Liam's jawline and kiss Talia's head. "Hey Tali, how bout' you and I have a mommy and baby day?" I smile. "Yeah!" Talia beams. "What about a Mommy, Daddy, and baby day?" Liam begs. "Sure, Liam." I chuckle. "Let me get dressed and then we can go!" I grin. "Mommy, can you help Daddy dress too? He always looks weird wit the weird stuff in his pockets." Talia asks. "Weird stuff?" I ask. "I always had your photos in my pockets." Liam blushes. "Awe, Liam!" I coo. I throw my arms around him.

My cheek press against his as if we looked like two little kids. "I love you." I state. "I love you too." Liam agrees.

"Uncle Zayn can hewlp me get ready. See you later!" Talia says. She gets off the bed and walks out of Liam and I's room. "She's so different now." I gape. "She's used to us now that you were gone." Liam says. "Yeah." I say sadly. "Let's get dressed love." Liam says. I just nod and walk into the walk-in closet Liam and I share. Liam follows behind. I look around and spot a brown sweater. I walk closer to the sweater but I feel two strong arms pulling me back. "Liam I need to get dressed." I sigh. "Love, Talia can wait for a few extra minutes." Liam assures. I turn around slowing realizing that Liam was only in his boxers. "Liam! Put some pants on!" I blush. Liam shakes his head no and smirks. I try to push away from Liam. "There's no chance you can get away." Liam smirks. Liam's hands travel down to my butt and he gives it a light squeeze. I blush and squeal, covering my eyes and cheeks.

Liam kisses my lips pulling my body closer to his. My hands drop from my face and slowly wrap around his shoulders. Our bodies touch and I feel something hard on my leg. I pull away from Liam, looking down realizing, I gave him a boner. "Someone's a bit horny today eh?" I laugh. Liam blushes and turns around. He walks over to his side of the closet, picking out a pair of ripped jeans and a white tank top. I walk back over to my side and look around. "It's not winter anymore. I wouldn't wear a sweater babe." Liam sneers. "Okay." I sigh. I spot a navy blue dress in the corner of the closet. I stride over to the dress and pull it from the hanger. I pull off my shirt and sports bra. Shit, my bras are on Liam's side of the closet. I quickly cover my boobs with my arm and walk over to the drawer. I pull a black bra and quickly shut the drawer. I slowly walk back to my side of the closet. Liam walks into the closet. "Uh sorry!" Liam blushes. "Liam don't apologize, You've seen me naked before." I laugh. "I wasn't sure if you wanted me to look or not." Liam mutters.

I giggle at his response. I walk over to him and pull him closer to me. "Are you afraid of something?" I ask. "N-no." Liam stutters. "Okay then Mr.Scaredy cat." I laugh. I kiss his jawline and walk away from him. I walk around my closet once more, looking for a good outfit to wear. I see a new item on the side of my closet. I quickly walk over to it. Step by step I get more excited. It's a red dress that I really admire. I pull it off of the hanger and walk to my mirror. Holding it over my body I smile with a small grin. "Perfect."
