We spent a week away on our honeymoon, which was amazing. We woke up every morning and had sex. We ate breakfast off of each other, yes I put strawberries on his body while he was sleeping and woke him up by eating them off of him one by one . We explored the area we were in and ended each night with a nice bath together and love-making.

But I couldn't wait to go back home to see Zuri. And when we did get back, we went home to see Zuri. "Hi Mom!" I said, hugging her and quickly reaching for Zuri, who my mother was holding. She reached over to me and I took her in my arms. "She missed you both. A lot." She emphasized, which made me laugh. " 'Ello, Mrs. Raymond." George greeted my mother, and she pulled him into a hug which he was unprepared for.

"Hi George! How was the honeymoon?" She asked as she pulled away from the hug. "It was great! We 'ad so much fun!" He answered her, and my dad greeted George and I. "Hello, kids! How was the honeymoon?!" We told them about it and they smiled. "Sounded fun! I'm glad you two were able to have some time alone." My dad said, and looked at Zuri and waved goodbye to her. I said goodbye to them since they were returning to the US, and we helped them pack and they left.

"Da...Da-da!" Zuri said, and George's eyes lit up as he took Zuri from my arms and held her. "Yes Zo, Im dada!" He said proudly, and I smiled as I fixed her dress. "Dada! Dada! Dada!" She repeated and George looked at me. "She's saying me name!" His eyes were wide with excitement and he played with her.

We heard soft barking as Cleo joined us in the living room and I got down onto the carpet and hugged her. "Hi, Cleo!" She licked my face when I let go and jumped and wagged her tail excitedly. "I missed you too, girl!" I petted her and I smiled as I looked at George, Zuri and Cleo. The Harrison clan.

We decided to enjoy some family time while we could before George went back to India to help them prep for the concert, then do a few tv interviews in America, so we wouldn't be seeing him for a while. Zuri was sitting on his lap, and her head was resting against his chest as she watched the television, and I had my head resting on George's shoulder as his arm was placed around me, and Cleo rested her head on my lap as I petted her. And we just sat like that for a while until Zuri has a sudden burst of energy and decided to play with Cleo.

I had gotten up to go grab a drink for myself and when I got back, George was on the floor with Zuri and Cleo, playing with them. I couldn't be any happier than I was at the moment.

While they were playing, Zuri began to cry, and George picked her up. "Aww Zo, I know yer knackered, love." He kissed her forehead and brought her upstairs to her room. "Do you need help?" I asked him, and he shook his head. "No I got it." He gave her a bath and got her ready for bed, and the second George put her in her crib, she quickly fell asleep.

"That was adorable to see." I said softly, to ensure that she didn't wake up and George looked at me with a huge smile. "She's such a darling." He leaned over and kissed her forehead and headed to the bathroom. I brought Cleo to bed, petting her and letting her get ready to sleep, before I headed to the bedroom's bathroom and hopped into the shower with George after tucking my thick hair into a bun.

The second I stepped in, George places his arm around me and kissed my neck softly. "God blessed me with ye." I looked at him and smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck and letting the water fall on us. "He knew we both needed each other." His arms wrapped themselves around my waist and we shared a passionate kiss. "We can never take a regular shower together. It's always something like this." I interrupted the kiss, and my comment made George laugh softly.

"I can't 'elp it. You make me like this." I blushed and moved my arms away from his neck to actually shower. Then he followed and began to shower.

I had finished before him, so I got out and dried myself and wrapped myself in the towel. The phone began to ring loudly, so I quickly headed to get the phone so it wouldn't wake up Zuri. "H-" "Hi, George. This is Josephine." A female voice said. "I just wanted to let you know that my husband is back so I won't be needing our little sessions anymore. Anyway, can't wait for the concert! And thanks for everything! See you soon!" She quickly hung up, and I instantly dropped the phone. Luckily, it didn't wake up Zuri.

The water in the bathroom stopped, and I heard George get out from the bathroom. I couldn't move at all. I hope I misinterpreted what I heard. It couldn't be true. I felt a lump grow in my throat as I just sat there, frozen. Even though I wasn't moving, hot tears began to fill my eyes and spill over down my cheeks.

"Hey Brielle, I was wonderin' if- What's wrong?" He said, opening the door and seeing me sitting on the bed. I quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him back into the bathroom. "Who's Josephine?" My voice cracking and becoming hoarse when I said her name. A look of confusion spread across his face. "What are ye- how do ye know about her?" He asked, and as much as I didn't want to, my hand lifted up and slammed itself across his cheek. He winced and stepped back. "What was that for?"

"What do you think it was for? Just get out, George." He sighed. "Yer not going to even listen to me?" The tears were racing down my face by then and he pulled me into a hug. "I would never cheat on ye. Ye know that." I pulled away from the hug and pushed him off. "Get away from me, George!" I pushed him out of the bathroom and out of the room, and I took my wedding band off of my finger and threw it at him, before closing the door softly in his face, remembering that Zuri was sleeping.

"Brielle, don't be like that. Just hear me out before ye jump to conclusions." I really didn't want to be upset with him, since we've been having such a good time lately.

I opened the door and he reentered the room with my ring and placed it back on my finger. "No matter what, promise me you'll never take this off again." I sighed, feeling defeated and looking at the ring. "Fine." "Now let me explain." He sat me down on the bed and held my hands in his. "Josephine is a woman I met in New York a while back while organizing the concert. We became friends, only friends, and she seemed a bit stressed at work, so I asked her what was wrong, and she explained to me that her marriage was a bit on the rocks. So being the relationship expert that I am, I was helping her by giving her some advice. That's what those 'sessions' were. That's what she called them." I laughed softly at his comment about him being a relationship expert, and I looked at him.

"So that's it? Nothing else happened?" He shook his head and wiped the tears on my face. "Nothing else." He kisses me softly and looked me in the eye. "I love ye and only ye. I'll probably end up telling ye that everyday for the rest of me life, but I don't care. I want ye to believe it. I wouldn't cheat on ye."

Hearing him out did help me, but I was still shocked that the call even happened. I stood up and headed to my closet to dress for bed, and I walked back to the bed and settled in. George did the same and laid down next to me. "I'm sorry about that. But goodnight, love." He moved closer to me and leaned in to kiss my cheek, but I pushed him off and turned the light off and closed my eyes. George just stayed silent and laid back in the bed, keeping the distance between us.
