~Shailene~

I lock the door behind me and put my back aginst it.

"Shailene? Shai please open up." Theo calls from the other side.

I shake my head to keep the tears from slipping. But after a few more seconds they slip out and drip down my face. I slide down until I'm sitting on the floor with my back against the door.

"Shai please!" Theo tries again.

"Go away Theo!" I scream.

"Are you crying?" His voice full of concern and care.

"Why do even care?" I ask him sniffing.

There's a pause before he replies. "I care because you're my wife and the love of my life! Isn't that enough to convince you? If not then Hermione's the only proof I have left. Do you think that we'd have an 18 year old daughter, if I didn't care?"

I open my mouth and then close it like a fish. When I don't say anything, Theo speaks up again.

"I love you, no matter what."

Hearing him say that breaks all the walls and barriers that I built in the last few minutes. I throw the door open and fly into his arms. Tears stream down my face.

"I'm so sorry for what I said and accused you of. I truly am." I manage to say in between tears.

He pulls away just slightly so that he can touch his forehead to mine.

"It's alright. I don't care about what you said. Besides that you had to be mad at me. I'm sorry for givng you a reason to be mad. Besides that I can't be mad at you." He says smiling.

"Me neither." I reply shaking my head.

He hold my gaze and says. "I love you." "I love you too."

This is all I manage to say before my lips meet his. The kiss is full of hunger and longing. I move my arms from around his neck, into his hair. He keeps a hand securely to make sure that I don't slip away. We getting more and more engaged, when a thought hits me.

"Oh God!" I exclaim.

"What's wrong?" He asks, his face full of love and concern.

"I promised Hermione that I'll help her make breakfast!" I reply and run to the bathroom.

quick A/N

You must be wondering why they're making breakfast. That's because George died at night and they stayed at the hospital all night. Now it's morning that they came back home and they didn't sleep all night.

back to the story!

~Theo~

I sigh and sit down on the bed. This has been ouur first fight since Hermione was born. The last this happened, we promised each other that it won't happen again for the sake of our daughter.

I decide to check on Hermione. I pull out my phone and find a text from Ansel. Shoot! I completely forgot to call the office and let them know that I won't be able to make it. I type in a text explaining about the death and send it.

When I get hearing range of downstairs, I hear Hermione say. "I'll see you there. Love you."

I walk into the kitchen to see her put her phone on the counter.

"Where's mom?" She asks me.

"Bathroom." I reply.

"She asked me to hurry up and now she's the one toshow up late." She huffs.

"We can start making breakfast." I offer. She nods in reply.

She starts washing her hands and I roll up my sleeves.

"What do you want?" I ask her.

"Waffles!" She shouts.

"If waffles are what my girl wants then that's what she'll get." I tell her and reach up to take a bowl out of the cupboard.

"Uh dad?"She asks.

"What?" I ask her.

"Do you even know how to make them?" She asks.

"Um no." I reply, giving in. She smiles and comes over to help.

Shailene comes down just as we're putting them out onto plates.

"Wow! That's a first. You two managed without me." She says taking her seat next to me and opposite to Hermione.

"We did." Hermione and I both say together.

What do you guys think? Please do let me know.
