Falling for Henry.

Home

Henry's POV.

Keegan seemed thin...really thin, those damn rebels must not have given her enough to eat these past 6 years.
Or maybe she was so stressed she wouldn't eat....she has a habit of doing things like that.

Now that I have my dear love back I will protect her with all my heart and soul, she is my life...I would die if I lose her ever again. In all my 200 years I have never loved like I have with her..

Living in this world of humans has proved most interesting. I don't know what I will do when she ages and dies...
I wish I could tell her that I am a Phoenix but I think she will think me insane.

Keenan's POV.

After I am nice and clean I dress in a light night gown and hop into bed. I want to tell him I am a time traveler...but he will just think me insane....fuck.

I fall asleep easily, I don't dream...the dreaming has stopped, maybe because reality is better then my dreams.

I wake up feeling Henry's strong arms around me, I turn to look at his sleeping face. He looks so innocent when he sleeps like a little boy, it's cute. I cuddle my face into his neck feeling his beard on my forehead, I have missed him so much and I finally have him back... But yet I am faced with where do I fit into his life?

.....I feel home with him...but I don't fit in his world....

Hell I was born in a time where women can do what they want, though there is still a lot of judgment towards women, mainly by other women...it's insane how when one woman dress how she wishes a different woman with call her a 'bitch' 'whore' or 'slut' it's like chill you are the bitch for doing that to a fellow woman. But here in this time....if I marry then people will view it like I am HIS property....I don't know how I feel about that...

I am lightly touching his face when I realize that he is awake and looking at me...well shit.

"Did you sleep well?" I ask him.

"Yes...it's the first time in a long time that actually got a good nights rest."

"I know what you mean." I say looking down.

"I like your hair long, don't cut short ever again."

"Why not."

"I like you having lots of hair for me to run my hands in."

I can't help but laugh at his reason.

"Alright then." I say smirking at him.

He kisses my forehead.

"We should get up." He whispers into my hair.

"We should."

We make no effort to get up.

"It seems Henry that we are all talk today and no action."

"I believe I do agree my dear."

"Henry?"

"Yes, my love?"

"Why is it that...that when everything is going perfect things go to hell?"

"There is nothing perfect in this world, but know that our love will draw us back together no matter what...I know that I do you wrong a lot....I should be married to you...not Anne...."

"I love you Henry....but this is wrong....you chose to marry Anne...she loves you..."

"She fooled me." He says with a angry look.

"What do you mean?"

"After I thought I lost you...I drunk a lot more...I was a dark man...she played on my weaknesses for you by trying to make me think she could fill in that void...she couldn't and will never fill in your spot."

"I'm sorry Henry....I should have stayed with you..."

"Shh..it's alright darling, you are safe now."

He pulls me tighter to his chest rubbing my back.

He end up making sweet love.

                 **************

I am in my old room where I had put my clothes from my time since I had on armor and men's clothes of this time.

I am looking though my old chest that kept my things in, it's made of oak and is a dark cherry color with my name on it. I find my old drawing book and start looking though it...the pages look like someone touched them a lot...
I can't help but wonder what Henry went though the time I was missing...did he really miss me? Or isn't he just feels bad so he took me back? God damnit, I love him... Why did I have to meet him the moment I crushed into this time!?! Why couldn't I have just not have met him? Why is it I just don't time jump again? What is holding me back? I don't wish to see Anne's head roll! And I don't wish to see him die! I don't wish to see Mary and Elizabeth go though what they will! I don't wish to see them kill hundreds of people because they don't like the people's beliefs!

I am ripped from my spinning thought with at light knock at the door. I look up and see Charles.

"My friend." I say with a fake smile.

"Friend!" He says back with a big smile.

"What can I do for ye?"

"Nothing Fox, just wanted to see how you are doing."

"Well."

"You didn't look it a moment ago."

"Ah, so you were watching me."

"I was, so tell me what is wrong."

"I was just wondering how Henry was when I was missing."

"I see...." He looks up set. "Well Keegan..you being gone ripped him apart, he drank heavily..he stayed in his study for hours in the dark, then one day Anne Caught his eye...then she got him to leave his wife and Mary her...then she got anyone that even looked at her wrong beheaded...he finally started to realize that he had no love for her, so then Jane got his attention...but he doesn't love her... He only loves you."

"Oh."
