  *Six weeks later*

"Just leave that for now Gary, grab the suitcase first." I mutter as i unfasten Ethans car seat anf lift him up onto my shoulder. We've come up to visit Garys mum for a few days, seen as Gary had a few days off from being back in the studio with the rest of the boys. This seem to have blown over with Mark now, although thats only what hes telling me.
"Are you sure?" Gary pulls the pram out of the boot, despite me telling him not to countless times. "I thought we were going for a walk?"
"I know, but the suitcase would be helpful first." I sigh, "And Ethans bag, he needs changing."
"Okay okay im sorry!" Gary holds his hands up in mock defence as Marjorie appears at the front door.
"Hello dear!" She calls over to us. "I didnt realise you'd arrived."
"Iya Mum." Gary grins as he plants a kiss on her cheek, walking past her to drop the suitcase into the hall. I really cant help but notice his bicep bulging from the weight of it.
"Hi Marjorie." I smile, as she pulls me into a half hug, being careful of Ethan over my shoulder.
"I heard you two arguing on the drive." She smirks. "You sound like a married couple already!"
"Speaking of which," Gary takes my hand as we follow Marjorie through to the kitchen. "We thought you might like to know we've set a date for the wedding."
"Oh brilliant!" Marjorie half claps her hands at the news. "When?"
"May the third." Gary is beaming like a schoolboy as he fills his Mum in on the plans, meanwhile i pull out a bottle from Ethans bag and begin feeding him. "I know its only two months away," He carries on. "But we figured we could get it sorted, we want it in a church up here, after all its our hometown right?"
"Oh you two that sounds lovely!" Marjories smile is clearly filled with pride. "How perfect! Ill have to go and buy a new hat."
I force a polite laugh at her little joke as i take a seat at the dinning table, so i can rest Ethan easier on my lap, to be honest im completely exhausted and could do with a nap.
"Can you finish this tea Gary whilst i go and phone you're brother and tell him? Or do you want to do that?"
Gary can clearly see her excitement and so agrees to finish the tea whilst he hurries out to phone Ian.

"Oi." Gary peers over at me from behind the kitchen counter. "Whats wrong?" His voice his soft and gentle, and to be honest, sending me to sleep by the second.
"Nothing." I smile back, "Im fine."
"No you're not." He furrows his brow slightly as he sets a steaming cup down infront of me, taking the seat opposite. "Tell me Baby."
"Im just tired Gary," I sigh, resting Ethan over my shoulder and rubbing his back gently. "Can you go and get the travel cot out of the car please?"
"Ill go when you tell me whats wrong."
"Gary! Ethans falling asleep here can you just get the god damn cot please?!" I snap, being sure to keep my voice down in case Marjorie hears.
"Right! Fine!" Gary stands and heads back for the front door. I bite my lip as i rest Ethan half over my stomach and half on my chest. It wasnt unreasonable to ask for the travel cot was it? Or for the suitcase out of the car. Eurgh. I tip my head back in the chair, letting my eyes close a little. God you're so tired Libby.

"Ive set it up in our room." Garys soft tones wake me with a start. Shit! I must have nodded off. Gary leans forward gently and carefully takes a finally sleeping Ethan from my lap, wrapping him in his baby blue blanket before carrying him off upstairs.
I breathe a small sigh of relief as i stretch out in the chair before taking a long sip of the tea Gary made for me. Im sat alone in the kitchen with only my thoughts of exhaustion for a while before Gary saunters back in and takes his seat opposite me.
"Wheres you Mum?" I mutter.
"I dunno." Gary cant hide the smile from his face. "Phoning everyone she knows to tell them about the wedding i suppose."
"Shes happy." I sigh happily.
"Yes she is. But you're not." Garys tone drops slightly as he twitches the baby monitor on and sets it down on the table. "Tell me whats wrong Lib."
"Nothing Baby." I smile, reaching across the table to take his hand. "Im sorry i snapped at you just, im just exhausted, Ethan wouldnt sleep again last night and-"
"Why didnt you wake me up?" Gary furrows his brow and throws me a half disapproving look.
"Because youd been out with Howard, drunk too much and needed to sleep, otherwise theres no way you could have driven up here this morning!"
"Libby dont be stupid!" He sighs. "I want to help. Okay? I dont want you feeling like its you're job, or you have to do it all okay? And i certainly dont want you tired and feeling irritable like you clearly are this morning. Got it?"
"Mm-h." I nod, slightly shocked by his assertive tone.
"Talk to me Libby."
"Ye i understand." I mutter."
"Good." Gary smile at me, his loving warmth back. "Come here." He untucks his chair and strides over to me, grasping my hands and hauling me to my feet before wrapping two arms around me and pulling me into his chest. "I love you." He mutters as he kisses my hair.
"I love you too Gary." I whisper as i wrap my hands around his waist, snuggling into his chest.

"So are we going for that walk then?" Marjorie's voice interrupts our quiet embrace.
"Actually Mum," Gary smiles. "Libs exhausted and Ethans just got off, maybe we could do it tomorrow? Do you think you could fix us a sandwich or something instead please?"
"Gary!" I scold lightly. "We can make our own sandwich, shes your Mum, not your housekeeper."
"N-no dear!" Marjorie grins, "Let me! You two go and make yourselves comfy, the little ones take it out of you dont they eh?"
I nod and smile gratefully as Gary drags me through the the living room where we curl up on settee infront of a burning wood fire.
"You okay?" Gary whispers against my temple as he snakes an arm around my neck, our legs are already tangled somehow.
"Yes thank you." I smile back.
"We dont have to be here you know? If you dont want to be-"
"No Gary." I cut him off. "I cant think of anywhere else id rather be, its nice to get away from home for a while."
"Alright Baby." He smiles back, pulling my head down against his chest. "Just checking."
I sigh happily as i feel myself drifting, Garys fingers are rhythmically coming my hair down my back and with the warmth of the fire its impossible to fight the sleep....

"Is this what you want Libby?" Gary purrs against the inside of my thigh.
"Yes." I pant. "Yes." The warmth from the fire laps at my bare skin, heating me from top to toe.
"Are you sure this is what you want?"
I groan loudly, throwing my head back in frustration as Garys breath touches methere.
"Yes Gary!" I cry out as he laps his tongue over me in one long motion.
"Like this?" He mutters as he repeats the action, flicking me with his tongue so every muscle in my body clenches. "Still!" He growls, pushing my legs further apart with his hands as he kneels infront of me.
"Please Gary!" I choke, my fingers clawing at the arms of the settee. "Please!"
Gary just mumbles something against me as he flicks me again with his tongue, faster this time, driving me insane. I cry out loudly as he thrusts two fingers inside of me, circling them around as he continues to tease me with his tongue.
"Fuck!" I choke, my fingers now tangling into Garys hair as he continues to drive me wild.
Suddenly he pulls away, and takes hold of his own hard length, dragging his hand from the bottom of his shaft to his tip, his tongue now curling over his top lip.
"Please Gary." I pant desperately.
"What do you want Libby?" He raises his eyebrow as he continues to slowly massage his erection.
"Fuck me." I breathe, Before i can utter another word, Gary has slammed  himself all of the way into me, moving quickly as he fills me with each powerful thrust.
"Fuck!" I scream at the sensation of pleasure and pain.
"Shit Libby!" He grunts back against my shoulder, his fingers digging into my waist.
But then he starts to slow down, slower and slower.

No.

Slower and slower still as he slides away from me.

No!

I try and grab him back, but im not strong enough, i have to let him go, while i lie there, panting and unsatisfied.

"No!"
"Hey, hey Lib! Whats wrong?!" Gary soothes as i sit bolt upright infront of the fire. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"Gary!" I pant, trying to steady both my breathing and my heart beat.
"Yes?"
"Gary i need you."
