Kate's POV

I woke up in the morning to find Bear squished up against me. I lay in bed for a bit, thinking about everything.

Does Ned care that I'm gone? He's such an asshole, why would I care what he thinks.

Where do I go from here though? I can't stay here at Leo's house forever. Do I go back to England? Do I start a new life in America? What about my children?

The questions floated in the air around me. The air got heavier and heavier as I loaded more questions.

No answers sadly. I have a premiere today. For the Titanic. It starts at midday. I looked at the clock on the wall. Half past ten.

Woah, I slept in today. I'm normally an early bird, but it must have been this amazing bed!

The bed in Leo's guest bedroom gives you the best sleep.

I wonder if Leo's up yet.

I got up and took a shower, brushing my teeth and getting dressed into something comfortable for the time being.

I walked down to find Leo already cooking breakfast and laughter outside. The kids where splashing around in the pool already.

"I'm the only one who was not awake? Even the children are awake!" I laughed. "Why didn't you wake me up Leo?"

"We thought you needed some well deserved sleep," he grinned. "The kids have already eaten by the way. And that's not entirely true, Kelly's still asleep." Then he pulled a fake British accent. "Pancakes for the lovely lady?"

"Made by such a handsome man? How can I object?" I teased, over exaggerating my own accent.

He smirked and handed me a stack of perfect pancakes.

"You have to work on that accent though. No British director will hire you to be in their English movie," I joked.

"Oh shut up, I will nail it one day." He carried on. "Oh! And I've hired a hair and makeup artist to come over and get you ready for the premiere reunion thing. There will be lots of Titanic fans there. And pictures will go in newspapers and magazines.

"Oh Leo you didn't!"

"Yes I did." He pulled the fake British accent even more.

"You're amazing darling!" I laughed saying in an even more deep accent.

Leo's POV

I didn't speak to Kelly after that last night. But seeing Kate's face in the morning really cheered me up for some reason.

But a strange thing happened. Joe and Mia walked in before Kate was awake. I gave them pancakes and they asked me something unusual.

Joe suddenly said: "do you ship Kleo?"

At first I was confused because I didn't understand what it meant.

Then Mia clarified. "Kleo is the ship name for Kate and Leo. Can you believe fans have a ship name after you two? They think of you and mom as the perfect couple."

I actually hadn't heard the ship name Kleo before. I didn't realize me and Kate had a ship name.

"Is that so? I've never heard of it until now!" I laughed, flipping another pancake.

"Yeah..." Mia trailed off.

I felt like they were trying to tell me something. But they wouldn't come at me clear.

"Can we go for a swim in the pool?" Mia quickly changed the subject.

"Sure! You can go for a swim whenever you'd like. No need to ask me for permission every time," I finished.

"Thank you so much Leo! You're the best," they both chimed.

I decided not to tell Kate about what her children said to me. It might me a little awkward.

"Have some cream," I smirked, dipping a spoon in, then taking the cream off the spoon and quickly smearing it on Kate's nose.

"Hey!" She grabbed the cream off her nose and ran after me, catching me eventually and putting it on my own nose.

"Don't mess with an English girl," she snickered.

"Don't mess with the Americans either. Technically I'm German, Italian..." I trailed off. "Who cares just say I'm American and I will kick your ass."

Kate could have fell over laughing.

"Breathe Katie. I don't want you going to the hospital now!"

"I-I'm breeeeeathing," she laughed and cried at the same time.

I've missed this girl terribly. Especially moments like this.

Kate's POV

The makeup and hair artist did my hair in a pretty low side ponytail, curling my ponytail and securing it with a beautiful jewel clip that matched my dress.

She did golden makeup and I looked at myself in the mirror. It was gorgeous. I put on the jewelry Leo gave me and beamed at the person looking back at me in the mirror.

"Thank you so much!" I said to her.

"It was a pleasure! I'm such a huge fan," she nodded.

I went down the stairs where Leo was dressed in a black tuxedo. He looked really handsome.

Leo stared at me in awe and thanked the stylist as well, for making me look like "the heart of the party."

I blushed as he took my arm and linked it with his.

"My lady, shall we proceed?" He waved his hand towards the door.

"Certainly," I laughed.

He led me outside. Where there was a huge limo.

"What about the kids?"

"Cheryl is looking after them. Since Kelly isn't responsible enough," he said rolling his eyes.

"The stylist?"

"Yes. She's also a babysitter," he pointed out.

Cheryl smiled at me and the kids waved me goodbye. Cheryl is a really nice lady, I chatted with her while she was getting me ready.

We sat in the limousine and watched the world whiz by. Fans had gathered around the building we were having the after party, or reunion with the other cast members.

We got out and I was instantly blinded by the flash of cameras. Reporters came and interviewed us. We signed autographs and took pictures with fans.

Thanks to Leo's common sense, he got a dress made that covered my back, so I wouldn't be self conscious about all the marks on my back.

After a while of signing and taking pictures, we headed inside for the reunion and after party.
