Stephane and Catherine had spent most of the night dancing in each others arms. The decoration of the great hall or the music playing had no impact on them. When they danced together it was as if the rest of the world didn't exist. "you look so beautiful tonight Catherine" he said softly and carefully brushed a loose curl behind her ear. "you've said that about four times in the last ten minutes" she responded with a soft chuckle. "I know" he said softly. "I just didn't think that after all these years you'd still manage to suprise and amaze me" he said and twirled her around. "and what's that supposed to mean?" she asked in a playful tone and looked into his big blue eyes while she twirled. "I mean that every day that I see you, I just can't believe how lucky I am" he said and pulled her closer to him. "good save" she laughed softly and shook her head. "I'm your idiot" he said and kissed her very gently.

Before Catherine could return his tender kiss, Rosie approached them. "daddy you said that you'd dance with me before bedtime" the little girl said and looked up at her father. "and my nanny said that it's almost bedtime" she added. "then I'm sorry my love" he said to Catherine and took Rosie's hand. "I'm being stolen by a younger woman" he said and let his daughter lead them to the middle of the dance floor. She loved to be the center of attention. Rosie stood on her dad's toes and tried to reach up to his shoulder, something that didn't go very well. She wanted to dance like her mamma. "how about we do this instead?" he suggested and held her tiny hands in his. He crouched down to be closer to her height and smiled. "it can be our special dance" he said and kissed her forehead. Rosie's eyes lit up at his suggestion. She wanted a special dance.

Luc on the other hand had no interest in dancing or music. The little boy stood beside his mother, his whole world and took her hand in his. He then kissed her hand, something he had seen his dad do a million times. "you look very pretty mamma" Luc said and looked up at her with pure love in his big blue eyes. When Catherine saw the look in her son's eyes she melted. "thank you Luc" she responded . "you look very handsome" she said and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. Luc smiled at her words and stayed by her side, his favourite place to be.
