The Butchers Love

Chapter 49

Thankfully William had gotten a little better, he was able to go about his business and he even managed to go to Charlestown without any problem. Luckily my father and brother were both here, they wanted to see how William and I were "Well William's been feeling a lot better lately, he's still a pain though"

"He's treating you well though?" Peter asked before looking up at the doorway.

"Of course" I smiled and took a sip of tea "He's a good man"

"Darling" I turned to see William blocking something from my view "I have something for you"

"What have you done?" I asked and sat up from the settee. At those words, a small cream dog came rushing into the room "Who's this?" I beamed and looked down at the pup.

"I haven't a clue, he followed me home from Charlestown, after I was done eating I gave him some scraps and he got attached"

"Can we keep him?" I asked and picked up the animal "Oh Please William?" As I spoke, the pup leant his paws on my bump

"Alright" the pup jumped from the sette and stormed over to William, he picked up the animal and held it in his arms "well the maniac needs a name"

"What about Freddie? He looks like a Freddie" in response the little pup barked and licked William's chin.

"Bloody hell..." he put the dog on the floor and it ran over to me, jumping onto my lap as he did so "He's stolen my place" William complained before taking off his coat and hanging it on a coat peg.

"He'll never replace you, you're my one and only" I beamed and looked down at the pup, who was already ravaging a cushion.

"Can you both stop flirting for five minutes?" Peter groaned and obviously William didn't give a damn.

"And you're mine" he blew me a kiss and smirked slightly.

"Alright, that's enough of that" My father grumbled causing me to roll my eyes

"How is my handsome husband anyway?" I pressed on, causing both my father and Peter to groan.

"Oh for the love of God" my father sighed.

"Annoying as usual, a little sickly but all in all I'm alright" he smiled and leant against the wall "How is my beautiful wife?"

"Tired" I mumbled and held a cushion close to my chest "Anyway you looked starved, I'll get you all something to eat" I smiled and stood up, William decided that he would follow me.

"It's funny, annoying your brother I mean" He muttered from behind me and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"is it? I think my father is plotting your death"

"I'm dying anyway" I turned around and shot him a death glare "I'm sorry..."

"It's alright, anyway I'm making some stew, would you prefer lamb or beef?"

"Whatever is easiest for you" He mumbled before kissing my neck lovingly.

"Go and sit down with my family, they'll want you to know how your feeling"

"Alright" William turned me around and pressed his lips against mine "I love you"

"I love you too" Then, with those words, he walked back into the living room

After I had chopped up some beef, I cut up some carrots before putting them into a bowl. But then an agonising pain shoot through my abdomen, causing me to drop the dish I was holding. I shouted for William and in response all three of them came rushing into the kitchen.
