The Prince and the Maid

Chapter 49

Grace pov
Two weeks later
Harry had found me a ptsd support group. I was willing to go. Harry was coming, I begged him to.

I held on tight as Harry drove through the city on his motorcycle. He stopped outside the building where the support group was meeting at. I got off and then Harry got off. I took my helmet off and fixed my wig. Harry took his helmet off and we went in. "It's going to be alright," he told me. We signed in and put the name tags on. We went in and joined the circle of other ptsd suffers.

When everyone was their. We started, Kevin who led the group started. "So today we have two new faces. Please stand up say your name and occupation." He said. I stood up "I'm Grace and I'm a social worker." I said. "Hi Grace," the group said. I sat back down. Harry stood up, "I'm Harry and I'm in the military." He said. "Hello Harry." The group said. "So what brings you to our humble group?" Kevin asked. "Over the last three years, I've been in a few different events that I thought I was fine after. Yet it's turned out, I'm not. I've been having nightmares of loved ones going through what happened to me, and I'm standing their unable to stop it." I said. "And what about you Harry?" Kevin asked. "Well I did two tours in Afghanistan, and I don't really have much of ptsd. I've been coping with smoking, yet Grace is always getting on to me about it." He chuckled. "So why did you come?" Kevin asked. "To support my wife." He said. "So it's Grace who's our new member." Kevin said. I nodded. "So what are some of the incidents that resulted in your ptsd, if you feel like sharing. "I was shot three days before our wedding day, I took two bullets to the chest that were meant for my brother-in-law." I said. "Why?" Kevin asked. "It wasn't internal, I just happened to step in front of him at the right moment." I said.

After the meeting, I didn't feel any better, it just made me feel worse. "So what did you think?" Harry asked as we walked to the his bike. "Not for me, I don't like being in the patients position." I said. "It's alright, we'll figure it out." Harry said embracing me. "Let's get home." I said. "I like that idea." He said. We put our helmets on and rode back to Kensington.

When we got back, I went to the nursery and got Faith. "Hey baby girl," I said taking her to my room. I sat down on the floor with her. A knock came at the door, "come in," I said. I turned and saw Harry come in. "How's our little girl?" He asked coming and sitting down next to me. "She's doing well." I said. I stood her up on her feet, she started crying. "Alright," I said sitting her down. "Not ready yet." I laughed. "She'll be soon." Harry said. I smiled.

-3 months later-

I was going back to work today, didn't really know what to expect of today.  I ran into the carport after my morning run. I drank the rest of my water. Faith was giggling, I took her out of the stroller. "Did you have fun, baby girl?" I laughed as I carried her in. I took her to the nursery and changed her. "Let's wake daddy." I said. George was standing in his crib. "Aunt Grace," he said. "You wanna run wild?" I asked. "Yay," he said with a devious smile. "If anyone asks Aunt Grace did not help you get out." I told him as I put Faith back on the table and got George out. I opened the door and he took off down the hall.

I got my own little one and took her down the hall, Harry was still asleep in bed. I put Faith in the bed and she climbed on Harry. "Hello," I heard Harry say as he walked into the bathroom. I showered and got Myself ready. I came out of the bathroom and Harry was awake with Faith. "She's getting redder and redder everyday." He said about Faith's hair. "Another ginger," I said. "My family is going to love that." He said. "Well they can't change her genetics." I said kissing his cheek. "Alright I've gotta go now," I said kissing Harry. "Bye Faith," I said kissing her head. I grabbed my bag and she started screaming. "Go, I'll take care of her," Harry said. "Are you sure, I can call Angie and ask her-" "go Grace," Harry said. "Alright, see you later." I kissed his cheek again. "Bye, love you." I said. "Love you too," he said. I left as Faith was screaming her head off. "Attachment issues?" Will asked as George was clinging to his leg. "A bit, I don't really wanna leave her." I said. "I said the same thing after George was born but I had to go back to work." Will said. I smiled. "But there's other people who depend on you at your job so you better go so you won't be late." Will said. "True, bye Will." I said. Before heading down the hallway to the carport.
