Kitty POV: we were here. I hold Anna's hand as we walk around on a tour. She looked so happy. It was adorable. Once the tour ends she shows me around herself, telling me stuff the tour guide didn't. I smile as she does this. She had so many interesting anecdotes. We stop for lunch and Anna sits cross legged on the grass while I lay down with my head on her lap and she feeds me.
"God you're so cute" she mumbles and I smile.
"No you are"
"No you're the cute one" she says and I sit up.
"No you are. You're so happy right now and it's the most adorable thing I've ever seen" I say and Anna blushes
"Really?"
"Yes, really. I love seeing you happy baby" I say, sitting up and kissing her.

A few hours later

We'd explored Anna's entire childhood home and were back at the hotel. She was lying on the bed taking a nap and I was waiting for the room service to arrive. She looked so peaceful curled up like that. I don't know how long I sit there just taking the sight of her in when a knock snaps me out of my daze.
"Room service!" I look through the peephole and see a guy standing there with a wheely cart thing of food. Only problem was, he looked way too like Thomas. So I wake Anna. Even if it makes me feel kinda bad.
"Is the food here?" I just nod and try not to cry.
"Does the guy look too like someone else?" I nod again and Anna sits me down on the bed and goes to get the food.
"There we go. Would you like a hug?" She says softly and in response i just hold my arms out to her.

Cathy POV: "Cathy can you come downstairs please?" I walk down and see Lina standing there with a woman.
"Cathy this is your mother"
"M..mom?" She smiles and pulls me into a hug. I start crying and hug back. I'd hoped I'd get to see her again and now here she was!
"My little girl. Look how grown up you are. And so beautiful" she kisses my forehead and I smile. Then jump when Anne clears her throat.
"Oh! Mom this is Anne. And that's Jane. My girlfriend. Anna and Kitty are in Germany but you can meet them when they come home"
"It's nice to meet you all. And girlfriend huh? So am I gonna have a daughter in law at some point?"
"Mom!" At least she's supportive but still...
"Anyways methinks it's mom mode time" she says and Jane gulps. We'd seen this in the movies. Me, Anne and Lina are left standing in the hall while my mom goes into the kitchen with Jane.

***

Anna POV: I sit there hugging Kitty while she sobs into my neck. She was terrified. I called Jane but she wasn't able to talk. Lina and Anne were out and Cathy didn't pick up.
"It's okay. You're safe. I'm here baby. I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you. Hey. Wanna see what I got you?" She nods uncertainly and I lift up the covers on the plates to reveal all her favourite foods. Dino nuggets, chips, mozzarella sticks, a pepperoni pizza in the shape of a heart, bbq wings, garlic bread and then cookies, strawberries with chocolate as well as cream and sugar and gummy hearts.
"Whoa" I smile and kiss her cheek.
"I wanted to thank you for doing this for me" I say and she smiles, hugging me.
"I love you Anna"
"I love you too Kitty" I kiss her cheek again and then turn on the aristocrats. We eat in comfortable silence and then Kitty leans against me while we feed each other strawberries and cookies. Once we finish I put the cart out and we take turns showering and brush our teeth together and lay together just talking until she falls asleep. I just lay there for a while admiring her. She was beautiful. She moves a little in her sleep and ends up lying fully on top of me. I smile at this and kiss the top of her head before finally falling asleep too.
