Forever theirs.

Seventeen

That night Beatrice looked up at the ceiling as she hummed to herself.
She couldn't fall asleep without them there.
She knew this would be over soon but she struggled to know when.
All she knew was that she was innocent.
Suddenly a guard walked up to the cell before tossing over a phone.
"You get one call," he said before walking away.
She picked up the phone before looking at it.
They would be asleep but she needed to talk to one of them.
She dialled Brendan's phone before holding the phone to her ear.
She listened to it ring before hearing his voice.
"Brendan," she said as she listened to him threaten who he thought was a stranger on the phone.
'Bunny' he said almost surprised.
"I have one call.
I just wanted to hear your voice as everything was so blurry earlier" she said.
'I know.
We're gonna get you out of there once your bail is posted' he said.
"I'm innocent Bren.
I shouldn't have a bail, I shouldn't be here" she said as she started to cry.
'We know but those fuckers are trying to figure things out after not caring for a year' Simon said.
They both sounded tired.
"He kept pushing me to admit to it.
I didn't know what happened.
I was honest.
I just don't know why he thinks I did it" she said.
'Someone framed you' Brendan said.
"Tracy.
I know it's Tracy.
She never liked me" she said.
'This isn't a liking contest bunny.
She's caused you to be locked up.
Fuck when she gets out' Brendan said.
"Stop.
Please don't finish that sentence.
Just promise me we'll look into buying that house in Ireland.
You know the one Cheryl showed us pictures of" she said.
'Won't it be too big' Simon said.
"Not in a few years when we have a dog.
A baby also works as well" she said before laughing.
'I'll tell Cheryl and let her sort it.
If that's what you want we'll do it.
Need to get out of this fucking shithole anyway' Brendan said.
"I only have a minute left.
I want to tell you that I love you both.
I love you both so much and I believe you'll do what's best" she said.
'Love us huh?' Brendan said.
"Yep.
I'll see you soon.
I love you" she said before the phone disconnected.
She couldn't hold back her tears as she broke down.
She just wanted to be in their arms.
To kiss them and sleep in between them.
The guard walked to the bars.
She threw the phone at him before curling into a ball.

Days passed as she sat in the same cell as she tried to get comfortable on the stone floor.
All she had been thinking around was them.
How they touched, how they tasted.
She missed them and knew now that she needed them.
She never wanted to be away from them again after this.
Suddenly the guard stood still in front of her cell.
She sat up before watching him unlock her cell before walking in to grab her.
She hissed before walking quickly so he didn't hurt her too much.
She was wondering why he didn't cuff her but then again she had been there for three days and never put up a fight.
He walked her out of the station.
She glared at him as she wondered what he was doing.
"Not so rough" She froze before looking up to see Brendan and Simon.
She teared up at the sight as the guard let her go.
"Congratulations darling you're finally free" the guard said before walking back into the station.
She looked at them before running to them.
She hugged them both as she sobbed.
She looked at them and smiled.
"I missed you both so much," she said.
"We did too," Brendan said before kissing him.
"I'm so sorry.
I didn't know they were framing you.
I didn't know anything" he said as tears rushed into Brendan's eyes.
"I know.
This would have happened anyway" she said.
She then looked at Simon.
"Thank you for trying to prove my innocence," she said.
"I didn't prove anything.
He should have noticed that you were innocent" Simon said.
She shook her head before kissing him.
"I'm trying not to think about it.
I just want to get home.
Take a bath and sleep" she said.
"I love you," Brendan said.
"I love you too.
Forever and always no matter what" she said.
Simon kissed her cheek before they all hurried to the car wanting to get as far away from the station as they could.
Brendan and Simon were counting down the days until the house in Ireland was ready.
They wanted to take her away from it all.
They also wanted to get far away from this town as well.
Leaving everything behind sounded like heaven right about now.

When she got home she rushed to the bathroom before running herself a bath with lots of bubbles.
She was still cold from the stone floor of that cell.
She watched the water fill the tub as Brendan called Cheryl.
Beatrice was completely clueless.
Minutes later she got in the bath before completely sinking.
She looked at the bubbly surface as the soap started to burn her eyes.
Beatrice then rested her head on the edge of the tub as water and bubbles rolled down her neck and chest.
Simon then walked in.
"Room for one more?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded.
She watched him undress before moving slightly as he sat behind her.
She placed her head on his chest as his legs encapsulated hers.
Beatrice melted into his body as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I could have done something really stupid to that detective," he said.
"What did he do?
I remember most parts but when I fell I hit my head and it was all blurry after that" she said as she turned her head to look at him.
"One of the police offers dragging you out of the interrogation room threw you to the ground.
I thought I was going to have to hold Brendan back.
You kept saying that you were fucking innocent and that bastard didn't believe you" he said.
"That fucker" she said.
"I see prison changed you," he said.
"No im just too tired to care," she said.
"Brendan said that you wanted to run away to Ireland before going to the station.
Are you still thinking about that?" he asked.
"I don't know.
It's just that this place was supposed to be more positive than it has been.
I will never regret it but I guess I want to live the rest of my life with you and Brendan somewhere quiet and calm.
That house Cheryl showed us is what I want but I know it's too expensive.
Maybe when we have more money and a child.
Otherwise, we're buying a castle without a reason for that much space" she said.
"You're hinting that you want a baby," he said.
"Not yet but maybe when we're a little less busy and im not avoiding a false arrest.
Haven't you thought about it?
A little us" she said.
"Once or twice," he said.
"When did you start thinking about it?" he asked.
"Recently.
Cheryl said that I would need to consider it.
In their family, it's normal to pop out two to three children.
You know to keep the Brady name strong" she said.
"Don't pressure yourself to continue a bloodline" he said.
"I know.
I just know that Cheryl is out of the question as when she finds someone and gets married she'll no longer be a Brady" she said.
"When it's time then you can worry about this but for now there's no need" he said.
"I've got a clock going against me Si.
It's not that simple.
The older I get the harder it becomes" she said.
"You just got out of a holding cell love.
Relax" he said before kissing her.
She looked into his eyes.
"I love you," she said.
"I love you too.
Now lay back" he said.
Beatrice giggled before relaxing into him again as they stayed silent.
It was comfortable and nice.
Something she wished she could have more often.
