Keaton's P.O.V


I furiously pushed away the annoying tugging at my sleeve. When it didn't cease, I rolled over, met with a purple fox in my face.

"Keaton." Bella whispered, tightly clutching her fox to her chest.

"What's wrong Bella," I asked softly.

Her eyes welled up with unshed tears. "I had a nightmare."

Pulling my duvet back, I allowed Bella to crawl in beside me. "Why didn't you go to mummy and daddy's room?" I asked, tucking us in bed.

"I did, but they were making noises." Bella said, staring at her fox. "I think daddy was hurting mummy." Bella finished, staring up at me, with doe eyes.

I pulled her to my chest and rocked side to side. "Your safe Bella." I soothed, avoiding what she had just said.

Trust Shawn and Ophelia to have morning sex. Kinky bastards.

"What was your dream about?" I asked, pulling back.

Bella sniffled before speaking. "I dreamt that mummy and daddy dropped me off at school and after school they didn't pick me up. Everyone left and I was still at school. It got dark and then a monster came through the door and tried to eat me." Little tears ran down Bella's pale face.

I pulled her to my chest once again and kept her securely in my arms, so she knew I wasn't going to leave her. "Bella nothing can get you, it was just a dream. I promise." I comforted, rubbing her back.

"You promise?" She asked, looking up at me with teary eyes.

I nodded and held out my pinkie. "I pinkie promise,"

Bella linked her pinkie finger with mine before smiling. "Should I tell you a story about Princess Bella?"

She nodded quickly and climbed onto my lap, with her fox. "Once upon a time, Princess Bella..."

Half an hour later, it was seven o'clock and time for me to get up. "Bella I've got to get up for college. Do you want me to make you a pancake?"

Bella smiled, getting off my lap. "Yes please."

We both ran down the stairs, trying to beat each other. Bella tried to push me behind her as I slowed down a little. Suddenly I came face to face with the wall. Surprised, that Bella was that strong I tried catch her around the waist.

Every time I came close, she seemed to slip out my fingers. Maybe she wasn't a slow as I thought. Bella stepped over the threshold, turning to face me, before saying. "I win, I win." She exclaimed gleefully.

Of course, I let Bella win. She could never keep up with her little legs.

Without further ado, I grabbed the packet of pancakes, un-wrapping them and putting two in the toaster.

Whistling, drifted down the hall and into my ears. Shawn strolled into the kitchen clad in boxers. I hastily covered my eyes and Bella's. She giggled at my haste to spare her eyes.

I groaned in displeasure, "Shawn I really don't need to see what you did last night."

Shawn whipped his head to mine, eyes narrowing. "What do you mean?" He questioned suspiciously.

I lowered my hand from Bella's and my eyes, sniggering. I already knew what happened last night (thanks to Bella) but I wanted to let Shawn know that I knew.
