Caitlyn's POV
"Mum, what can I have to eat?"
"Parker the fruit bowl is over there to take one"
"But mum I want something better"
"Like what?"
"Crips?" I was getting used to the children's accent especially Bailey
"No, you know the rules"
"But Bailey is having some" I turn around to see Bailey holding a packet of chips
"Hey What do you think you doing?" I snatched the packet away
"I don't want to eat fruit mum"
"I know you don't want to but we made rules and we follow them"
"Fine" she rolled her eyes at me and got off the couch making her way to the kitchen
"I'm Home!" I Turn around to see Ben walking towards me
"Hello Princess" He gives me a peck on lips and holds me by my waist
"Hi" I whisper
"you alright?"
"I'm tired. the kids are not listening to me and ah I don't know"
"I'm sorry babe"
"it's -"
"Dad!" We hear a bunch of screaming children and loud running coming towards us. Ben steps aside and get's down on his knees hugging all of them in a group hug
"Hello Peanuts" I loved it when he called them that
"I heard from a little bird that you weren't listening to your mum. Is that true?"
They all looked down but Steph being the confident one out of all of them spoke up
"Sorry Dad, we just wanted some crisps"
"But your Mum and I made a rule that you would have a fruit and then you can have crisps"
"Because if you don't have your fruit then your not going to be strong"
"So if you have that first you will become strong like dad" I smile and run my fingers his hair
"Now I wanna see all smiles"
Ben tickles each other their stomachs making them squeal
"good, now go I need to talk to your mum so we are going to the study and if you need anything to knock dont barge in"
"Ok," They all said
"I love you all"
"Love you to dad," They all said and ran to what they were doing
He grabs my hand and gives it a soft kiss
"You handle them better than I do"
"You just have to be patient with the Love"
We make our way to the study room and I sit on the desk while ben locks the door and then stands between my legs
"You wanna tell me what's wrong?"
"I'm so tired love" I start crying and ben kisses my forehead and holds my hands and rubs it with his thumbs
"I miss you. Your gone all the time and I miss how we used to be. You know how crazy we were." Ben and I giggle and he wipes my tears away with his shirt
"We used to go to parties. Get drunk. Have sex literally anywhere. I miss her Ben!"
"Gen?"
"Yeah, I miss her. I need to talk to her again but I feel shit. I never answered any of her texts or calls I have just read them"
"Well Joe wanted to come over with all their kids once she has had her baby"
"Tell them it's ok. I need to see her again"
"I will"
"Caity we have gotten older love were not in our early twenties anymore. We have a family to look after now"
"I know. I know. I Just miss you"
"I miss you too but we don't have any time. The kid's don't give us privacy anymore if we're in the bedroom"
"I know but it's been almost a year Ben"
Ben sighs and I put my had on his cheek
"We haven't even gone a date since Bailey was born"
"Why don't we go out tonight, Just us two. We can get Rami and Lucy to look after the kids."
"There's too much work Ben I can't go out tonight"
"No, we are you need a break and we need to spend time with each other"
"Ben"
"We can go have dinner watch a movie" He pushed my hair out of my face
"We can rent a hotel room" He whispered in my ear making me smile
"I'll give Rami a call," he said and then kissed me.
He helped me get down and then pulled me closer to him than getting his phone out of his pocket and called Rami.

Rami just came over with Lucy and Ben and I are about to leave
"Now be good for Rami and Lucy and Don't give any trouble because I will find out"
They all nodded and we said our goodbyes and goodbye kisses before Ben and I leave. We got into the car and Ben grabbed my hand holding for the whole drive.
When we got to the restaurant Ben got a private table for us so if there were any photographers we wouldn't be photoed together and so we can just enjoy each other's company
Ben and I ordered out food and the waiter brought out a bottle of champagne and Ben pour me a glass and then his.
"You look stunning tonight Caity" he took a sip of his drink and held my hand
"So do you"
"You were right. This is something I missed"
"I am always right aren't I?"
"No comment"
"What is that supposed to mean"
"Nothing"
"You know I'm going to let this go"
"mhm ok"
"I hate you"
"You love me"
"no, I hate you"
"We will about that tonight Princess"
***
After Dinner, we went to watch a comedy film and let's just say we got a bit touchy during the film. Straight after the film, Ben took me to a hotel. It was a giant room with a giant bed that good fit about 4 people on it.
"Ben this must have been expensive for one night"
"But this one night is going to be the best night in a while" He grabs my waist and smashes his lips onto mine
"I missed you" he mumbles into my neck
"I missed you even more"
He tells me to Jump and I do wrapping my legs around his waist bursting into a fit of laughter. He puts me on the bed and crawls onto me and our lips join almost instantly. I knew this was going to be a amazing night with the man I love.
