44

* One month later*

" how are you going Elaina?" Doctor Shew asked me. He had been monitoring my feelings and emotional state for four weeks now. " im feeing great" I said as I bounced Iris on my knees, she giggled and smiled at me, her smile was infectious. "you look like you're getting better with the depression" he smiled and he reached his hand out and stroked the side of iris' face. "got some gorgeous girls there" he commented and I smiled and thanked him. "thank you, they look like their daddy" I said happily, the doctor had no idea who the father is. "ahh yes, may I ask, how's things with your partner, any troubles?" he asked and I shook my head. "Ed's great, very supportive" I said and the doctor suddenly shot me a weird look. "Ed Sheeran?" he asked slowly. "y-yes?" I said questionably, holding Iris up, as her legs didn't work so she couldn't hold herself up. "you're dating?" he asked and I felt this getting almost to personal. "he's my fiancé" I stated proudly, clipping Iris back into the pram. I was still getting used to be a full time mum again after five months of neglecting my girls and leaving Ed to care for them.  "congrats" he smiled and reached out his hand for me to shake, 'just keep up with the medication and I'll see you next week" he said cheerily, scribbling his signature on the prescription form.

I pushed the pram out the door of the overly disinfected building and in the direction of home. I started absentmindedly humming the song Ed had recently written, I didn't know all the words so I thought humming would be less effort. Iris started to get upset about halfway home and I wasn't really able to pick her up and push the pram at the same time, so I picked up my pace and made it home about five minutes quicker than I would have.  Ed greeted me as I walked in the door, and I greeted him back with a smile. "hey love, how'd it go?" he asked, taking Iris out of the pram and cuddling her before I got the chance. " good, he says I've made a huge improvement" I beamed. "that's excellent" he said and he held out his arm so I could hug him.

I looked down at my phone and checked the time. "Ed it's ten to six., what do you want for dinner?" I yelled down the hall to Ed, who was making Legos with James in his bedroom. "uh, do we have macaroni?" Ed yelled back, hearing him say something to James. His footsteps become louder as he appeared in the kitchen, staring at me. "for a start, yes we do, and secondly, quit eye raping me" I giggled, since the day he rescued me, it had been my phrase when he stared me down. "make that nice shi-I mean stuff you always make" he said, with no manners in sight. "and I was staring at your intense beauty" he said romantically, pulling me forward and pressing his lips onto mine. "you need to learn manners Sheeran" I said into the kiss, pulling away at the end. "sorry" he said quietly, letting go of my hips so I could cook. "get outta here" I said bossily, pushing him in the direction of the hall.

I began to cook up a lot of macaroni and put it in a dish. I made some cheese sauce and added bacon to it before pouring it all over the macaroni, adding breadcrumbs and more cheese on top. I put it in the oven and set up the table for dinner. In less than fifteen minutes I had dinner plated up and on the table , "Ed, James!" I yelled down the hall. I heard Lego drop onto the floor and two pairs of feet stomp down the hall in synchronization.  "yum yum yum!" James squealed as he took his place at the table, shoving a mouthful of cheesy pasta in his mouth. "hey hey! wait on! you didn't say a prayer" I reminded him and he stopped, his cheeks puffing out from the size of the spoonful he had shoved in. He swallowed it and said his prayer. "sorry for eating, and bless the food, amen" he said loudly, smiling like an idiot. "thank you" I said and then we all ate, I don't think I have ever seen two men so quiet in all  my life.

"guess what Ed?" I said, giggling slightly.

"what..." he said slowly, looking nervous.

"you're washing up, HAH" I squeaked and I ran out of the room and down the hall to the bathroom to run a shower.

"Dammit Lanie!" I heard him yell.

"shh, you love me!" I yelled back, dragging out the 'e' sound.
