Dakota POV
Over the next few months Jamie and I live out our lives in our perfect little bubble barely recognizing the world around us. We visit our families together, live together most of the time, take turns cooking, our romance is evident on and off set and we are not hiding a damn thing from the world but also, we are conscious of our agreement with Universal and do not deliberately expose our relationship. At interviews, we are very loving friends for now and speak highly of each other without going overboard. Amelia has visited on set and so have the girls. They have even stayed at my place for the time they have spent in Vancouver and I was very excited to see that Amelia was kind and respectful. I also cannot lie I kind of loved taking Jamie to bed every night and seeing Amelia go to the guest room. One morning she even was up before us and made breakfast for everyone.
When I got up it was just the two of us for a while and we made chit chat she handed me some coffee and we sat at the table talking about Jamie and his quirks and how the girls have many of them. We laughed and then she put her hand over mine and said, "I know we haven't always gotten along Dakota but I know how happy you guys are and the girls love you. I want to be like sisters if you will so that we can raise our girls with as much grace and respect as they deserve". I begin to cry, "you said "our girls", I cannot believe you said our girls.... Amelia that means so much to me. I understand the situation is very strange and new to all of us but I would love to be a family with you and the girls". We hug and It feels good to know we are on the same page.
Jamie strolls in with Elva and Amelia and I both have tear stained cheeks and we are laughing and smiling. "what the fuck happened here?" Jamie says with a concerned face. "We were just bonding over coffee James" Amelia chuckles and Jamie looks at both of us amused and confused. I burst out in a giggle and start to cry because my wires get crossed and then Amelia really goes off laughing and we are rolling onto the kitchen floor. Jamie puts Elva in her bouncy chair and Dulcie comes into the kitchen and tugs on his pants, "Daddy why mommy and Daki on the fwoor". Jamie picks her up and sit her at the table and says, "Mommy and Daki are acting silly sweetie, come sit down and eat and we will wait till they settle down". After about 5 minutes Amelia and I are settled and look at each other and smile. "Jamie, I know why you love Dakota so much now, her laughter is contagious! Dulcie please eat your breakfast and I will feed Elva. Dakota, you two better get ready for filming today because I will be expecting a nice dinner tonight after Dakota and I do our nails! We leave tomorrow to London and I will miss you two greatly. I know how to keep up appearances Jamie so don't worry my lips are sealed about all of this". Jamie nods and scoops me up over his shoulder towards the bathroom and our day continues.......
Paris Filming
Jamie POV
In Paris, we started filming the Honey moon scenes. Amelia came out with the girls and hung out with us for some time. It was strange having her on set still and the cameras were all about taking pictures of Jamie and his wife. I was not upset because she remained respectful and so did he. I think it's a bit weird for all of us though. We even went and did our nails again and ate out together while Jamie took the girls for dinner and ice cream. I really love the little family we have created and I love those girls more than life. Amelia and Jamie both know that. My family doesn't have all the details just yet and it is getting hard to hide things from my dad especially. I will have to make time to explain things when filming is over. Mom though is well aware of mostly everything.
The filming of the honeymoon and all the beautiful locations in Paris we could see were amazing but that one day with the terrorist attack in Paris was the scariest of my life. I remember being on set and finishing up, I remember eating at a small bistro close by and then I remember the phone calls hitting my phone and looking up on the TV in the restaurant and seeing the people on the news. I don't know much French and I bet I would have been more frightened if it was in English. I take Dakota by the hand and ask our waiter what is going on. He respond's in a hushed voice that the attack is being considered acts of terrorism. I hold her hand tight and Foley is at the bistro in 10 minutes since it was right by our set location. He looks relieved when he sees us and We walk with him back to the hotel. He informs us that he has heard our families have been calling. Dakota pulls out her phone and starts texting and calling all sort of people. I ask Foley for Rita and Victor who were off with some of the other cast mates on a tour. He confirms that they are fine and said they should be arriving shortly back to the hotel. He warns us to stay inside and that we should wrap up shooting this week. I look over to Dakota as Foley lets himself out and she is on the phone with her mother "Mom, I am okay..... yes ..... yes we are in the hotel..... yes Jamie is okay..... yes mom I will call you later..... Love you! Yes bye thank you". I hold her in my arms and she cries into my chest. I tear as well as the news plays for most of the night. Those poor people and when will this world be a safe place. I call Amelia and let her know I am okay and she informs me Dakota had texted her earlier. I am glad to know that my ex and my girl can be friends and can put their love for my kids and me in front of possible turmoil from my actions. I have forgiven Amelia as well for her infidelity before Elva and we are now a family. Too many didn't get to come home tonight to their families.
