When Freya met Aiden

60

"No, but Anna's stolen a big piece of Aiden's heart" and Freya told her the whole story, and how Aiden's only just told Feya that he can't have children, but it didn't really matter with them because she can't have anymore anyway. "But it breaks my heart Georgie seeing him with Anna, he'd make a fantastic father, and knowing that with all my money I can't do anything about it, so he's had Anna for a few days, and she really loves him like only a child can. So he wants to keep in touch, phone calls, texts, zoom calls and even visiting when tour dates let him, he's totally smitten, and I must admit so am I, hell she's even got Charles wrapped around her little finger, and that's some achievement. It did cause a tiny weenie hiccup at first, because the way he said he couldn't have children, I thought he meant because he was marrying me, so I told him to find some young lady who could give him children, but we soon sorted that out. Then I was going to ask if he was involved with me, so he could have a ready made family. As he pointed out he didn't know I had children when he fell in love with me, plus if he wanted a ready made family, he wouldn't have picked daughters older than him. But he's happy being around Anna, and keeping in touch. She's going to be a flower girl when I get married, hopefully with Charlie's daughter, and I'm going to try and persuade the girls to come back for the wedding, then I'll have three gorgeous little flower girls. Can I tell you something that's a really big secret?" "Of course you can, what is it?" "Well we're getting married in the British Embassy and it's going to a Dungeons and Dragons theme, but it's a secret from Aiden, everyone is going to be dressed in costume, including you" "ME? dressed up in costume? you're having a laugh!!!" "no I'm not, everyone's getting dressed up, even Charles and Rowena, and Jed as well. So everyone will be in costume" "Aiden will love that, he always looks so handsome dressed in his costumes, he's got some gorgeous ones" "I know that's why I thought of it, I'm going to get the cloaks I had made for the them all, sent over from Wales, they're gorgeous. " " I'll tell you one thing, the evil witch will be seething, she's always wanted to get inside the British Embassy, but she's never managed it" "I know Aiden said, Jed thought it was sad that he didn't talk to his mom, but Aiden said he's never been happier. Is that really true Georgie, I mean I know Aiden loves me, but is he really the happiest he's ever been, I know I am. I love him more than life it's self, I'd literally lay my life on the line for him" "yes it's true, I've never ever seen him as happy as he is, since he met you. Oh, you've upset him, I mean I've had him crying in my arms. Drinking a bottle of bourbon and then smashing the other ones against the wall, because he couldn't open it. But he understands why you did it, and this last time he was a right mess, if he could have got his hands on those two, he'd have killed them, GWS wouldn't have had to put a hit on them, he'd have done it for him. So yes it's true and I'm so glad you found him, he's a new man, and I love you for making Aiden so happy." 

"It was easy, Aiden's such a lovable guy, still can't get my head around the fact that he does love me, even though I'm old enough to be his mom, I know this sounds daft, but I wake up sometimes and look at him and think, God he's gorgeous and so lovable and he wants me to spend the rest of my life with him" "what does that mean? The rest of your life, you haven't got some terminal illness have you?" "No Georgie I haven't, but I'm older than him, hopefully I'll get a telegram from the king, but even if I do it doesn't change the fact that I'm older than him, so I'm bound to go first" "you haven't said that to Aiden have you? it would play on his mind" "don't be daft, we always say we're going to spend the rest of our lives together, and we are" "plus the fact, and I'm not being morbid here, he might go before you. There's always illness and accidents to contend with" "well if he did, I'd be right behind him, I wouldn't want to stay behind without Aiden, so I'd follow him" "you don't mean that Freya, you'd to many people behind who love you" "I do mean that, if anything happened to Aiden I'd be right behind him, he wouldn't be going by himself. Right that conversation is now over, and no blabbing to anyone, or else" "OK, OK, I won't mention it again to you or anyone else, I'll just say that hopefully nothing will happen for donkeys years" "so do I Georgie, but I meant what I said, if Aiden goes so do I. Right I need a drink" "me to, lead me to the coffee" "Bourbon for me, I need a stiff drink after all that morbid talk" "you can't have one, you're in charge of Anna" "I forgot about that, ok strong coffee it is, for now." Freya and Geogie went back into the restaurant, and Anna came running up to Freya. " Aunty Fiona can I go to the shops with my cousins? Heidi wants to take me shopping, please aunty Freya?" Freya Took hold of her hand and walked over to the girls "what's going on, what are you up to?" "Nothing, but we want to go to the mall and and we thought we'd take Anna with us, if it's ok" said Lianne. " Well I'd better call her mom, before I say 'yes', and then find out Paula would've preferred she didn't go."
