Life Isn't As Easy As It Looks

Chapter 4: Going Home

Rose and Albert lay in Rose's old rickety bed with their little boy in their arms. They still needed to pick a name for him and it had to be perfect as her was a boy after all.

"Harry Albert Thomas Brimley." Albert spoke first saying the name he wanted to call his first son. Rose just nodded her head, not as enthusiastically as she would have hoped as she was still very sleepy.

"Go to sleep my love." Albert stroked her hair back as it was sticking to her forehead. Take Harry from Rose he kissed her forehead and told her goodnight.

He took Harry into the main living area of the little cabin and saw A.J sat there with a very looking sleepy Lucy. He walked back to where Rose was sleeping and put Harry in the cot that was big enough for both children. He checked on Rose to see if she was asleep and she was.

He walked back to the main living area and took Lucy from A.J and told him that she needed to be put to bed. When all three children were asleep, with A.J on the little with a blanket wrapped around him and the fire going, Albert walked back into the room where he and Rose where sleeping in.

When he walked in he didn't expect to see Rose's full chest on show with little Harry having a feed. He could feel himself getting excited down below and wanted to be inside of her but he knew she was sore and he couldn't.

Rose looked up and saw Albert there. She quickly covered herself, but at the same time noticed Albert hands where placed over his manhood. She gasped because she knew that he needed to pleasure himself or get it off her.

She placed Harry back into his cot and pulled up her nightgown. She turned back to Albert and he walked towards her. He placed one of his hands onto her hip and the other onto her neck. His head went down towards her neck and he started to kiss her neck. Rose was startled at this. She had given birth this day and his still wanted to make love to a woman like her.

"Albert, no we can't. Stop please." He kept kissing her neck and then kissed up her jaw to her mouth where he kissed her with love and passion. He looked at her and nodded.

He led her towards the bed and laid down first. Rose lie down next to him and put her head onto his chest. They lead there just in the peace of the night. Rose kissed his and smiled.

She closed her eyes and went into a deep sleep. Albert was closely behind her hugging his wife to his body as he fell asleep.

*************

Rose awoke the next morning with the little cries of a baby. She moved out of Albert's tight grip trying not to wake up Albert, but it did. Rose pecked Albert on the lips and moved to see which baby was making noise. It was little Harry who was squirming around. Rose smiled and picked up her baby boy. She moved and sat down on the bed and pulled down her nightgown down on her right shoulder. She moved him towards her breast and he started to suckle.

Albert watched the pair as he sat up. He looked over Roses right shoulder and saw that's where Harry was feeding from. He started to kiss Roses shoulder and nuzzled his head into her neck making her laugh a little.

"When are we going home?" Rose wanted her children to live a nursery and have a proper home. She loved living here with Maggie, but it wasn't what she wanted for her children.

"Today, if the weather is fine outside." Rose smiled and looked down and saw that Harry had his father eyes. Rose nodded answering his questing. There was a knock at the door and Rose took Harry from her breast. Albert told the person to come in and when he said that A.J came rushing in wanting to see his sister. He didn't know about Harry just yet.

A.J looked back and forth because he saw a baby in his mother's arms and one in the cot. He smiled knowing he had to siblings.

"A.J this is Harry." Rose spoke quietly not wanting to wake up Lucy. A.J walked forward towards the three people, he wanted to hold his little brother because he had already held Lucy. He sat down next to his mother and she placed Harry into his arms. A.J smiled down at his little brother.

Albert heard Lucy to cry, so he got up out of bed and picked her up. Lucy was placed into Rose's arms and she needed to be fed.

"Can you get me something to cover myself Albert?" Albert saw a towel so he brought that over and sat behind her again. Rose turned away from A.J putting her back facing him and pulled down her nightgown on her left shoulder. She let Lucy suckle on her breast and Albert placed the towel over her shoulder so A.J couldn't see.

*******************************

"Thank you. Thank you for letting me stay here." Rose was leaving to go back home with her family. She held onto Lucy while A.J had Harry. They had showed A.J how to hold a baby and they put Harry in a little hold that had been wrapped around A.J's back and front.

"No, thank you. You better come and visit me. I want to see these two again and also bring Albert and A.J. They will be good for you. Trust them." Maggie and Rose were both now crying. They had all had breakfast together as one last meal.

"Rose, dear we have to leave." Albert wanted to go home and needed warmth. Rose looked over to him and nodded. She started to walk over to him and got onto the same horse as Albert. They all waved as they rode home.

It took about half a day to get to Brimley Castle and when they got there they saw two carriages. Albert turned back to look at Rose and she saw it was her family.

They all dismounted from their horse and Rose rushed over to A.J and took Harry from him. She held her children to her chest.

They walked into the Castle and went to the main living space. There she saw her father and mother, also sat with her sisters. Her mother stood up and she looked straight over to Rose and the bundles in her arms.

"What is that?" Rose's mother spat at her daughter. Albert moved over to Rose and placed his hands onto her waist.

"They are our children." Albert spoke proudly. Rose's mother gasped because she didn't expect her daughter to marry and have children in just less than ten months.

"They're twin's mother. A boy named Harry and a girl named Lucy." Rose wanted to be nice to her mother and not start a fight around her children, but she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen and would be her tenacious mother who would cause it.

"And you call that boy your son?" Rose nodded her head. One of Albert's hands moved over to A.J's shoulder. A.J looked over to his father and smiled.

"Don't you dare come into my home and try to insult my wife and children. I love them very much and you don't seem to ever approve of that. Is it because Rose choose her family instead of you and your family." Albert spoke to them like that for a reason, he was getting annoyed. How dare they come into his home and insult his family.

"Don't speak to my wife like that Sir. We just want to see our daughter. How old are they Rosetta?" Rose gulped; she didn't want to tell them because they would all ask questions.

"Isn't it obvious? They must be about five days old or not even that."

"They are two days old." Rose spoke.

"Where did you have them then? You couldn't have had them hear." Rose shock her head. Rose went and sat down opposite her family and smiled at her sisters.

"I didn't have them here. We went to another place because we knew you would come here and Albert didn't want that to happen." Rose's mother looked shocked as she had never in her life heard her daughter talk to her like that.

They all talked for a while when Roses family decided to leave. The children had already been put to bed by her and Albert when her family wanted to go home.

Rose got into her nightgown and went to the bed to sleep. Albert walked in moments later and looked at his wife. He had always slept naked and he wasn't going to change that ever. He took off all his clothes and slipped into bed. He pulled his wife to him and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
