The Greatest Showman, stories about Anne Wheeler and Phillip Carlyle, and their love story.
I only own Phillip and Anne's daughters Elissa and Six-Olivia, but other than them I don't own any characters.
Phillip POV. I wake up lying naked on my back, with Anne curled into my side, also naked. The sun seeps in from the window crack, and a happy sort of warmth passes through me. I start to run my fingers up and down Anne's arms, as she stirs slightly, and tilts her head up so we can kiss. "Morning, wife." I say. Anne laughs, and brings her head back down, while murmuring "Morning, husband," back to me. Although I felt calm, I really wanted to get up and start the day; this was because I had planned the most amazing day for my wife and I, it was our last day in Austria after all. After about 30 minutes of relaxing in bed, Anne and I get up and take a shower together, before heading back down to the hotel dining room for breakfast. We have delicious pancakes, and orange juice and we laugh. After we finish, we head out with our bags and bathing suits underneath our clothes to the bright blue lake around here. We walk the ten minute walk there happily, laughing the whole way there. "No, no, I was not that loud!" She says, persistently, laughing, as we share our details of what happened last night, after the dance held in the hotel. "Yes!" I say, also laughing, but we become quite when the lake appears in front of us. It is bright blue, stunning, and it takes my breath away.

Anne let's out a small giggle. "Oh my gosh, Phillip, this is gorgeous!" Anne whispers. I wrap an arm around her waist, smiling. I want to take her breath away for the rest of my life. "Come on, do you care for a swim?" I say, setting down our bags. We strip of our clothes quick enough, and we are left in our bathing suits. Tentatively, Anne dips her foot in the lake. "It's freezing!" She screams. Just as she retrieves her foot from the lake, I take a chance at our marriage and push her right in the lake. Anne hits the water screaming, and submerges a few seconds later with her hair all in her face. I laugh, as Anne dips her head back in the lake to fix her hair. "Come here, right now, Carlyle." She says, pretending to be angry. "Watch out!" I shout, as I cannonball into the lake, splashing her, as she screams again. We play for a bit, her trying to catch me, and me swimming away. I duck behind a rock, and as Anne turns her head, a perfect smile upon her lips, I grasp at her from behind, as she gasps and laughs again. I spin Anne around and kiss her on her beautiful mouth. "You are perfect." I state simply, hugging her to me. "I don't ever want to leave!" Anne says in response, acting like a three year old. We stay in the lake for a while longer, before coming out, freezing cold and shaking. We dry and dress again and begin to walk for lunch. Anne doesn't know that we're not going back to the hotel, so she looks surprised when I set the bags down in a lovely clearing, and start unpacking a secret picnic. "What's this?" She asks me slightly amused. "Your lunch, Madam." I reply, continuing to set out the picnic. Anne, claps her hand and starts to help me. After everything is set out, we sit down and begin to eat the sandwiches I made this morning. "These are delicious, Phil." Anne congratulates me. Long story short, the sandwiches are cleared away after 15 minutes or so. Anne and I lie down on the blanket and stare up at the bright sun. Just thinking about the hurry and rush and fake lights of the circus exhaust me; I wish I could stay right here, relaxed, with Anne forever. "What are you thinking?" She asks me. "I'm scared for you, when we get back and when your on the hoops again." I state. Anne exhales strongly beside me. "You shouldn't me." She says. "I know." I say, because I know she is safe up there, but it is just mildly concerning when your wife is up in the air doing crazy tricks. We leave it at that, being the good husband and wife that we are, and relax beside each other for a little while. We fall asleep some time later, curled up in each other's arms.
