Faye walked into the room holding Alexander's hand.
People were starting to arrive.
Faye walked to the children's corner. So far it was only those two. She knelt down. "Would the prince and princess like to eat a royal meal?"
"Yes!" They each said at the same time.
Faye stood up and led them to their table. The cook had already laid out everyone's meal. Each person had a name card but the children who had their own table with a table cloth that was made to be a colouring sheet. She had laid out crayons in advance. "Would you two kind of if I sit here with you two while you eat?"
The children shook their head and Faye pulled out their chairs for them to start eating.
Faye sat down and Alexander walked over. "Quite to momma bear. We have a babysitter hired for the party. You don't have to sit with them."
Faye looked around. "If there's a babysitter I'd like her to show herself now."
He looked around and then to his watch. "I suppose she's running late." He said down next to his wife. "How about I accompany you then?"
Faye smiled and took his hand into hers. "I'd like that very much my prince."
The Party went well and Faye ended the night picking up her sleeping daughter from the ground. The boys mother knelt down and scooped him up. "They play really well."
Faye nodded. "We can plan other play dates if you'd like."
The mother nodded. "Sure. That would be good for them. My names Claire by the way."
Faye smiled. "Hello Claire. I'm Faye."
"I work on the floor above you." She said. "I should go now. We can connect in a little while." She said and walked out.
Alexander walked over to Faye and pulled Keren into his arms. "We can come early tomorrow to finish cleaning up. Let's go home." He said.
Faye nodded and followed her husband outside.
They all got in the car and Alexander drove to the house. When he arrived he looked back and saw Keren awake. "Let's go inside and go to bed lovely."
He looked at Faye and saw her asleep. He held a finger to his lips. "I'll carry mommy and you can I can read some bedtime stories after I put her to bed okay?"
Keren nodded. He got Keren out and he opened Faye's door and pulled her into his arms gently as not to wake her.
He walked inside with Keren and shut the door behind him. He reached over slowly and locked it and he led Keren to her room. He then walked to their room and gently set Faye on the bed.
He got Keren into bed and walked back to his room and grabbed pajamas. He walked over to Faye and brushed her hair out of her face. "You amaze me. I love you so much." He whispered and kissed her forehead before changing her into sleep clothes. He changed himself and got into the bed.
He felt Faye's arms wrap around him. She curled close to him. "I love you most."
