When in exile

Time finally caught up.... Or maybe its the devil? (Elizabeth)

I couldn't sleep at all, every thing finally hit me, it was all real. my daughters getting married, her fathers here, my parents, grandparents, and siblings are dead, I've been a target since I was 25, and I live in England where Queen Elizabeth was my grandmothers best friend.... how have I not realized how crazy this is. I'm freaking out I feel like I'm the one getting married... I looked at the clock 3 am I went down to the kitchen and made some tea, I was shaking all over and it didn't help when I heard footsteps "whoever the bloody hell it is certainly has some guts disturbing me at 3 in the morning" I say which stops them in their tracks, before they start chuckling "oh Elizabeth, I'm not scared of you" logan says "yes I know" I said rolling my eyes. he wrapped me into his arms and I started crying "what's wrong?" he asked "everything that's happened since I met you just hit me, like a brick wall" I say drying my tears "I wish I would of been there, but I get why Beth I do, I understand now.... but your not getting rid if me so easily this time" I laughed "sssshhhh.... it's 3am don't wake anyone up" he said covering my mouth with his hand jokingly. "oh hush up, the rest of them are sound sleepers" I say "would you care to test that theory?" He asked with a devilish smile. "Are you sure you aren't the devil?" I asked curiously "if I am then your a saint" he replies kissing me "oh please if anything I am an angel.... because the devil was once an angel" I say with southern sass I haven't used in 23 years "oh Elizabeth, I really have missed you" he says laughing "I've missed you too" I said, he kissed me hard, like he couldn't hold his emotions back anymore "I love you" he said, I've waited to her those words for so long "I love you" I say back.

7HOURS LATER.....

"Victoria, it's time to wake up" I say shaking her "5 more minutes mum" "no Victoria you have to get up, your getting married today" I say and she shoots up "oh my god I'm getting married" she says getting excited. everything flies by and before I know it I'm pulling the veil over her dress and logan and I walk her down the aisle to give her away. this is the first wedding I've ever planned that I got to see the ceremony and I'm the mother. the reception comes and goes and the next thing I know I'm waving James and Victoria off to their plane to start their honey moon. where have the years gone? time is cruel making something's last for ever And some for a few measly seconds and then you can't seem to remember what happened. but yet maybe it's for the best, that we don't remember ever detail of our lives, sometimes it's best to forget painful things and sometimes even our past.

1YEAR LATER

"oh Victoria give me my gorgeous grandson" I say running towards the door where my daughter, son in law, and grandson stand "oh were great mother, no problems with the trip here" she says sarcastically "oh stop being so dramatic, you drove for an hour, now come in and have some hot chocolate" I say ushering them in and taking Edward, the little baby coes at me and I smile, he was so precious, a little darling "how are you dears?" I asked them "oh we're fine mother... actually were really good... because I'm pregnant again" Victoria says and they have such huge smiles on their faces "oh my that's so good to hear" I say, I get another grandchild!!! "oh James you don't have to stay in here with us the boys are out at the cabin, you can go" I say and Victoria agrees. as soon as he leaves "is everything alright dear James seems quiet?" I asked a little worried "no were fine just exhausted, little Edward here seems to think getting his mum and dad up at 3 am is a fun game" she says an I laugh "oh dear, don't worry he'll stop crying eventually" I say "I hope your right.. do you mind if I go take a nap while he's quiet?" "no, no dear go ahead, ill get you when it's time for dinner, you go get your sleep" I say shooing her "thank mum" she says running up the stairs "you shouldn't do that to your mummy and daddy, Edward, it's not what a proper young English Duke would do" I say displeased but he doesnt seem to notice with that cute smile of his. I start to read him a Christmas story that he soon falls asleep to. I look around the room, it's so cozy and warm with the fire going, I dim the lights down to appreciate the twinkling ones a strung up, its everything my house wasn't when I was little, only my grandmother would have a bunch of Christmas stuff up with candles and cookies. I place Edward in one of the baskets with a blanket in it and wrap him up in it and put him down to sleep. Logan, James, George, Simon, and my great uncle. they were talking loudly "shut the bloody hell up, the baby's sleeping and so is Victoria" I whisper with a stern look and they all instantly shut up and whisper sorry. logan and I got married 4 months after Victoria's wedding, I had always imagined a big white wedding but I really actually didn't care, I just wanted to be married to the man I love Logan Wilcox.
