Chapter Text
Anne wakes up because the sun is shining in her face. She isn’t ready to open her eyes just yet so she just stretches her arms and jawns . “Morning Darling.” She hears Tims voice next to her. “It’s time to wake up.” She rubs her eyes and opens them just a tiny bit. “Morning my love. What time is it?” “Not to late. Just about eight.” Now her eyes are wide open. “Eight? The children are supposed to be here at ten and I have so much to do! I can’t believe it is so late already.” Tim chuckles. “Anne you had a long and hectic week. You deserve to sleep in. If you can even call it that. Relax. You have all the time in the world. For now lets just enjoy this morning together.Its been a while since we last had the chance to wake up next to each other” He is right. Anne had some engagements in London so she stayed there while he stayed at Gatcombe. They missed each other a lot and when Anne got back in the evening she was to tired to talk to him. So they just fell into the bed. But now the have time. Anne snuggles into her husband’s strong arms and gives him a kiss. “You are right. I missed you and we deserve this.” Tim smiles and kisses her. She depends the kiss and the two just enjoy the moment. Suddenly Annes mobile rings and interrupts the kiss. The brake the kiss and Anne answers her mobile. “Hello?” “Hey mom, its me Zara. I just wanted to give you a ring to ask if today is still going to happen?” “Of course why not?” Anne is confused. Why would Zara ask this? They all have been looking forward to sped time together as a family again. “Well you just came back from London and I’m sure you missed Tim. I wanted to ask if the two of you want to spend the day together alone.” Next to her Tim started grinning. He heard everything since the phone was on speaker. The look in his eyes tells her how much he would want that. But she missed their children and grandchildren. “As much as that statement is true. No matter how hard your stepfather tries to convince me to stay in bed, I missed all of you and am really looking forward to later.” “Oh you are still in bed? I’m not interrupting something am I?” “I’m not sure if you want an answer.” Zara makes a noise on the other end of the line that sounded a lot like throwing up. “But no you are not. Well not really. Tim let me sleep in.” “Thank you Tim it was time for that!” “Okay now. Time to hang up. If you really want to come over I have to get some stuff done before that. I love you sweetheart.” “Alright, I love you too Mum.” They end the call and Anne snuggles closer to Tim again. “I thought you want to get up?” “Not really. I just didn’t want to traumatize my poor daughter. One child is more than enough.” “Oh yes. Poor Peter. We should have looked that door.” “Enough of that. Come here.” They kiss again and just enjoy the morning in bed until it is time to get up. By now it is nearly nine. They get ready and meet in the kitchen. “What do you want for breakfast?” Tim was standing there leaning against the counter. “Just some toast with jam and a coffee will do. Zara and Lindsay probably outdid themself with lunch for later in the day.” “Okay. You set the table and I make the coffee.” Anne looks for the toast and puts it in the toaster. Then she sets the table with jam and dishes. Once the coffee is ready they sit down and Tim kisses Annes forehead before setting down her cup in front of her. They eat in silence while Time reads the newspaper and Anne checks her schedule for the week and if there are any important news in the palace. They finish breakfast, clean the kitchen and do what they had planned. “Let’s sit down in the living room. The children wont be here for an other 15 minutes.” Tim suggest. “That sounds lovely. We sure need some more rest before our grandchildren get here.” Once they are comfortable on the sofa Anne lets her hands wander over her husbands belly on which she is laying. “Stop that.” Tim growls close to her ear. “Why? I happen to know you really enjoy this…” “That is the problem Anne. Stop it or…” “Or what?” Tim suddenly kisses her with a lot of passion. They kiss and let their hands wander over each others bodies, until they hear a loud gasp coming from the door
