Maddie's POV:

"What the fuck," a familiar voice yells me awake. My Merlin's beard did my head hurt. I feel around me, wait this wasn't my bed. I open my eyes to a blazing sunlight "Oh fuck" I cry. I get up slowly and hope. my eyes. "I slept outside?" I quizzically look at Juliana who was mad as a hatter.

"Maddie. Why the fuck are you outside with Benedict. Laying very close together" She was now tapping her feet. I look down to see a sleeping Benedict. He looked cute while he sleeps, I almost felt my heart combust. "I dont know" I mumble still looking at him. Jesus he must be cold. I quickly grab a blanket from the Kitchen and lay it on him not wanting to wake him up.

"Maddie what the hell happened last night?" Juliana says fatherly calmly to my amusement. I start to think about last night, nope. Nothing. I just give her a small sorry smile and she rolls her eyes at me. "Soz" I mutter.

Juliana walks into the kitchen and I rather sheepishly follow. "Your such a fucktard" she scolds me like a child. "Sorry" I say. She has laid aspirin and water on the counter. I swallow it all down. Feeling a lot better.

What actually happened last night. Then it hit me. Benedict told me he wanted to propose to me. He wants a family with me...

fuck. "So what actually happened last night?" she asks leaning in a little. "Benedict before I left him. He was going to propose to me. He wants a family with me" I say quietly. Fuck. "Really?!" Juliana cannot keep the excitement out of her voice. "How do you feel about that?" she continues. "I'm not sure." I say rather cautiously. "Oh well.. what are you gonna do? With all this shit going on what are you actually going to do?" I huff at her. She was exasperating and frustrating all in one tiny hormonal jar.

"I dont know. Probably forget about it. I can't deal with this shit again." She nods satisfied with my answer.

"Urgh my fucking head" a rather deep raspy voice moans. I turn to see Ben snuggled up in the blanket and looking rather sleepy. "Morning Sherlock" I smirk at him slightly teasing him. "Why are you happy" he half smiles at me. "Because I am" I roll my eyes at him. Wait why was I suddenly happy.

"Anyway. Ben drink this and then you two will clean up and go to bed. Understood?!" Juliana scolds us like teenagers after a night out."Yes mum" I snap rather bitterly at her. "I'm going out with Amanda today" she ignores me. "Why?" I ask. "Looking for baby stuff for junior here" she rubs her bump and beams at me. "I cant wait to be Aunt" I beam back at her.

"I'm going so you two. Be nice!" she scolds us once more before leaving.

I have reasons to believe she is trying to get us back together. "Hai" I chirp at Ben. "Hello" he answers shyly back. "Do you remember anything from last night?" I awkwardly twitch in my seat. "I remember you saying something but no not really." He looks at me rather suspiciously "You?" I shake my head in response.

"Well. I'm going for a sleep because I'm exhausted." I say loudly and getting up from my stool. I feel super awkward. I scratch the back of my neck and awkwardly smile at Benedict "D-do you want to come lay with me?"

I can tell by the shock of his face that my question was highly inappropriate. "Shit." I whisper. I knew he wouldn't come to bed with me unless I forced it. And I want him to come to bed with me. I want to feel his warmth. No I didnt. Yes I do.

I want him in that bed now! With me. I have a small part of confidence

left so why not use it! "Benedict Cumberbatch your coming to bed with me right now." I square my shoulders and hold out my hand.

"Yes miss" he smiles that smile that smile. "Good. Now come" I beckon.

He takes my hand and I lead him to the bedroom. I feel a sudden pulse of warm fuzzy stuff run through me. And I feel a electrical tension between us.

I let go of his hand and lay on my side of the bed. I feel the bed dip slightly and a warm hand wrapping around my waist. The thing I need to do is pull away but I don't. I snuggle into Benedict.

I feel myself drifting off. My head is laid on Benedict's chest and K can hear his heart. His gentle beat and his slowed beating makes me think that I am once again where I belong. In his arms.

I'm home.
