Love At First Kingdom

Chapter Nineteen

"Alex?.." Thomas nudges my shoulder and eyes study me carefully." Alex wake  up."

"Shit....." I groan and put my hand to my head. The fabric under my fingers is soft, silk over a mattress. My fingers find a cold washcloth to my head and my tension I melts as soon as I find Thomas' fingers. '" My fucking head...."

"Oh he's fine." Hercules sighs and I hear a slap.

"Be nice Hercules!" Laf scolds. 

"If he can swear hes just fine!" He protest and I roll my eyes.  We're.... in our home. Thomas' castle. I look around and recognize the smell of the wood smoking from the other room.

"And if you can scream you must be a fucking idiot. "I hiss and my eyes fall on my family gathered around worriedly.

"Oh yeah,hes fine." Laf sighs and everyone gives a soft laugh.

"Did I do it?" My eyes meet Thomas and breath catches in my chest.  It's still my Thomas, only younger looking.  He has less worry lines and eyes sparkle brighter.

"You did it baby doll." He nods and kiss my lips. I him and lean into it with a soft moan. His eyebrow cocks and smiles against my lips. " Miss me?"

"More then you know." I smile back and touch our foreheads. "Is it over?"

"The war?" He cocks his head. I smile and nod. He smiles back and kisses my lips." You're our saving angel."

"I did it! We did it!" I stand up quickly and throw my arms around him. He staggers back a few steps and smiles at me with a nod.

"My Alex ." He purrs into my neck and sways slowly.

"Where's Philip?" My eyes widen. He grimces and looks away.

"Uh... well..... That's another story." He gives a soft smile and scratches behind his ear." He's... grown up?"

"He's... What?" I cock my head.

"He's eighteen Alex." Thomas squeaks and my eyes widen.  Laf and Herc let themselves out.

"How?" I hiss and his eyes dart around the room. They land back on me and a small smile flickers in the corner of his mouth.

"You cant time travel and not expect everything to be the same." The door opens and I turn around. I freeze in my tracks.

Oh my... god...

He's just like how I saw him.  He has Thomas' smile and his eyes sparkle with a childs hope. He stands tall with his shoulders thrown back. Only his hair... It's short. Not shoulder length like it once was.

"Hey pa." He gives a small wave and freckles glow in the low light.  I feel a trail run down my cheeks and I gather him up in my arms tightly and sway slowly.  He tucks his head intot he crook of my neck and we sway slowly.

"Oh my Philip...."I put my hands on his cheeks and sniffle. "You've grown so handsome. " He blushes and looks away.

"Thank you Papa." He mutters and Thomas hugs us. This is my family.  The fights finally free. We're safe. I look at Thomas and he gives his signature cocky smile back. My heart thumps and stops for a minute. I love him.  I will never not love him.

It was love at first sight.

A/N: Sooooooo how do you guys feel about a sequel.  And should it be kept Jamilton or follow Philip  (with maybe pheaker???)

Let me know what you guys think and I'll let you know in the next, and possibly, chapter in this book.
