Jasey POV:

Its been a week since I spoke to Ben. Every time he called I got Alexis to answer it and if he asked to speak to me I told her to tell him I was busy and couldn't talk right now. "Come on Alexis, stop being so difficult! You need to get dressed!" She climbed up to her window in her jammies "but I don't want to get dressed" she gasped really loudly as she eventually got to a height of being able to see outside "UNCLE DANNY!!" What!?!? She jamp down running out of her room. "ALEXIS!!" I chased after her, not catching up until we were in the living room where I stopped in my tracks.

I gulped as I was met by Danny's figure with Ben standing behind him holding Lexi. I was stunned and it felt like all my words had flew away. I had nothing "Lex go and get dressed love, I'll be up in a minute to say hello properly and you can show me that toy mummy got you" he placed her back on her feet as she ran off. I still couldn't speak, its like I was too scared to say anything. I really wanted to make a run for it but James, Sam and Cameron were in the front garden and would probably stop me. Fuck. What do I say? We were all just standing there in an awkward silence as we just stared at each other.

"JASEY!!" James shouted as him and Sam ran towards me arms outstretched. I forced a smile pushing everything back, once again. "Guys!! What are you doing here?" Danny and Cameron joined them in our little group hug as Ben stood awkwardly at the side. I snuck out of the group hug and walked over to Ben. I did miss him and he did still mean the world to me "we're just going to go and say hi to Lex" All four guys wondered off upstairs "I did miss you" I said reassuringly, he opened his arms and welcomed me as I rested my head in the crook of his neck "I know, I missed you too."

We stayed like that for a while, tightly embraced in each others arms. This is were it really hits home and I realise how much I did actually miss him. He kissed my forehead when I looked up to him meeting his eyes again. "The guys are going to take little Lex out for a while" I nodded my head taking his hand as we walked up stairs together and into her room.

James looked at me and Ben as we entered the room and then gazed down at our hands. A smile corrupted his cheeks as he walked towards us arms outstretched. "James, what the fuck are you doing?" Ben looked at me eyebrows furrowed together and I just shrugged my shoulders. "Okay kiddies time to take little Lexi to the park!" Danny hollered standing up taking Alexis on his shoulders. "Say goodbye to mummy and daddy Lexi" she leaned down giving me and Ben a kiss before they all scrambled out of the front door.

Ben POV:

We made our way through to our bedroom where I started to unpack my clothes "where's the Led Zeppelin top you got me?" She turned to face me after putting the suitcase under the bed "It must have been the one that Lexi took" I put away the rest of my clothes "the one she took? What for?" We were both sitting on the bed now, beside each other "she missed you, so she took a top" I subconsciously put my arm around her not realising that she snuggled into my chest "what about you?"

She got up walking over to her pillow "I guess I missed you too" there was a photo of the two of us before she had Alexis. We both looked happy, we were looking into each others eyes smiling. Under her pillow where she would keep her pajama shorts was just a black shirt. My Skidrow shirt. "You mean all you've slept in was that? No shorts, just my shirt?" I smiled at her pulling her waist bringing her closer to me "Hmm, maybe" she bit her lip before pressing them onto my neck.

I lifted her up wrapping her legs around me. "I missed you too"
