"Elizabeth! Stop running around the house!" Vivian yelled to her daughter who just giggled and ran to her mother.
"Sorry mum." Elizabeth spoke softly as she lifted her arms. Vivian picked her up and tossing her in the air, causing lots of giggles. Tommy walked in shortly after and just smiled at the sight of his wife and daughter enjoying themselves.
"How are my favourite girls?" He asked them both and Vivian put Elizabeth down.
"Daddy!" Elizabeth yelled and ran over toTommy who picked her up and spun her around.
Later that day they all went to Polly's to have dinner. Elizabeth played with Johns kids and the adults were able to relax a little. Shelby Company Limited was doing well and Vivians business was being overshadowed by Matthew now that they were business partners.
"I can't believe I got to marry you." Tommy whispered as he hugged her from behind.
Vivian smiled "I still have to get use to being called Mrs. Shelby. It's only been 3 months."
"Best 3 months of my life." Tommy kissed her neck and spun her around. "Do you remember when we met? The first time I mean."
Vivian smiled "I do. My brother was dragging you out of the tunnels into the medical tent. You were barely conscious but you made it...with my help of course."
Tommy laughed and Polly began to listen "I couldn't put a dark mark on your perfect record." He kissed her and Elizabeth tugged onVivians leg and Vivianoicked her up.
"What going on sweetie?" She asked with a smile
"How did you and daddy get each other?" Elizabeth asked with a smile.
Tommy giggled "It took me a lot of hard work. Your mother can be stubborn at times."
"I threatened him on a few occasions. Still do sometimes." Vivian answered back and Elizabeth smiled.
"We went to a party together for work. I asked her to dance with me and it worked. A week later, she was mine to keep." Tommy finished.
Elizabeth giggled "I want to be like you ma."
"Don't be like me...Be like you." Vivian said with a smile "Now go play." She put elizabeth down.
Elizabeth hugged both of them before playing with John's kids again.
"I love you." Vivian said to Tommy
Tommy kissed the top of her head "I love you."
They watch in silence for awhile before Tommy said something.
"I think of our relationship like addiction."
Vivian looked at him confused "What kind of a addiction?"
Tommy smiled "A Helpless Addiction"
