Scarlett’s POV

Jan has been doing just what she said she would and has been taking care of me. She picked up Liam, Vanessa, Colleen, and Conor yesterday and they are staying at Vanessa’s place since we only have one free guest room left and V has plenty. “I swear we rarely see our kids when Colleen is around.” I say to Jan who is lying next to me. “Ye are right, she really loves them.” She smiles, Colleen and Connor are keeping the kids overnight. “Jan, I have a feeling we are going to get a call saying they either need help with Riley or we need to pick them up.” I tell her and she laughs. “Aye mo Ghradh I think ye are right about that. After all Riley is still a wee bairn she will be only five months old in seventeen days.” Jan says. “Exactly and I’ve never been away from her this long since she was born.” I say. “Scarlett, ye have no reason tae feart(To be scared). Riley and Claire have Colly, Liam, Connor, and Vanessa taking care of them. And they are only a ten minute drive from here.” Jan says, placing a kiss on my head. “You are right. What do you want to do?” I ask. “How bout we  watch the new box set of F.R.E.N.D.S yer brother Adrian got ye for yer birthday?” She says. 

We are in bed watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S well I am after we have some dinner. “Jan you are the one who wanted to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. All you are doing is staring at me.” I say to my wife who hasn’t taken her eyes off me all episode. “I’m sorry Hen ye just look so fucking bonnie the way the light is hitting yer eyes. I havnae been able tae take my eye off ye.” She says her voice is full of love and sincerity. “Flattery will get you everywhere baby.” I say as I feel my cheeks heat up. “Are you still coming with me to the premiere of ‘The Spirit’ this weekend on the 9th?” I ask.(A/N: I don’t really know when it was released in 2008.). “Of course mo Ghradh I want tae be able tae be with ye tae support ye at as many of yer premieres as I can.” She says making me smile before pulling her into a kiss.

Janet’s POV

Scarlett and I are in the car  her manager arranged for us tae be brought tae the venue for the premiere. “Baby you seem more nervous about this than me.” Scarlett says, placing her hand in mine. She isnae wrong. I am a nervous wreck and I dunno why. I get shot at for my job. I just deh want tae say something that affects Scarlett’s job. “I am a wee bit nervous. I deh  want  tae say the wrong thing ye ken?” I say and she nods with an understanding smile. “Just follow my lead and you will be just fine.” She tells me before pulling me into a soft kiss, careful not tae ruin her lipstick. 

The whole red carpet was a wee bit of a blur and now Scarlett is doing a few small interviews as I just stay by her side with my arm around her waist the whole time. “So Scarlett you have another movie you are going to be working on at the beginning of next year is that correct?” The interviewer asks. “Yes, that's true. I’ve met the cast and they are all great and I can’t wait to film it and show it to the world.” She says with her big beautiful smile. “This next question is actually for you Major MacLean. Is that ok?” They ask and I straighten my posture slightly when she calls me ‘Major’ out of habit. “Aye that’s ok.” I tell her. “Is it hard finding time to spend time with Scarlett and the kids with your schedule and Scarlett’s constantly changing filming schedule?” She asks. “Actually it isnae as hard as I thought it would be. Thankfully I can take my work with me now thanks tae having a laptop.” We chuckle at that last part. “And I can join Scarlett and the bairns. I mean kids wherever they are when I’m not deployed. Aye it can be a little hard tae get the work done when the bairns are around and all I want tae dae is hold them and never let go.” I say getting a little emotional. “Wow that’s beautiful your kids are lucky to have you guys. Just one more question for you major. There is a rumor that you speak five languages other than English and are fluent in them. Is that true? And if so, what languages can you speak?” They ask. “Well I grew up speaking both Scots Gaelic and english. I learned French for fun. But I found that it would help me dae my job better if I can talk with the locals so I learned Persian, Hebrew, and Arabic. And I have been learning Danish with the help of Papa Karsten, my father in law. I’m not fluent but I ken quite a bit at this point.” I tell them. “So you are fluent in six languages and almost fluent in a seventh.” They say impressed. “Aye that is true.” I say. “I’ve never heard someone say something in Gaelic. Will you say something for us in gaelic?” They ask. “Tha mi cho moiteil às mo bhean Scarlett agus tha gaol cho mòr agam oirre agus air an teaghlach a rinn sinn còmhla.(I am so proud of my wife Scarlett and I love her so much and the family we have made together.)” I say and Scarlett places a kiss on  my cheek since she kens what I said. “We have to get inside but it was lovely meeting you. Have a great night.” Scarlett tells the interviewer. 

A/N: Aww a fluffy one. Next one will have smut maybe.  Anygays see you in the next one.
