Waking up in James's masculine arms once again felt like restored satisfaction, a long lost part of me was once returned to what seemed like my soul. My head lay on his broad chest while the tips of his fingers traced lines up and down the bit above my elbow and below my shoulder.

"What is it like?", a deep croaky voice said from above my head. I let out a small laugh, and dug my head deeper into his chest. "The main rule of time travel is not to tell anyone about the future, is it not?" I asked, before lifting my head up so that my eyes met his. All he did in return was raise an eyebrow to which i took as a sign to say that he didn't really care about the laws of time travel considering he only found out it existed as of around two days ago.

"Fine, fine" I said giving in, "it's...well, it's...not great." i added with a faint smile across my face, my heart sunk at what was the truth. I wish i could tell him that we'd ended world hunger or that cars could fly, but that wasn't true. His expression didn't change, but i could tell that he was intrigued by my answer, so i carried on. I decided to lighten it up a bit and tell him about things that may give him hope. I had to be careful though, what if because i tell him about I phones, world war two never happens. That's my paranoia, but i was just going to keep it simple.

"There are these things called planes." I told him, tracing circles on his stomach. "Planes?" he replied, repositioning his head on the pillow. "yep, they're like these big things that can carry people, or whatever needs to be carried to a certain place, but in the sky." I answered, genuinely being amused by the conversation. "goodness. Flying carriages?" "not carriages" i laughed, "we don't use carriages anymore, we use cars."i answered, laughing more every time i saw his expression whenever i had to explain something new to him.

He clearly needed a minute to process planes and cars, so while he did i decided to get up. "Diana, where are you going?" a serious tone came from behind me. "to ready myself, and i suggest that you do the same." I said turning back around to face the door again. "fine, leave me. Even though you promised you wouldn't ever again" he sighed, spreading himself across the bed and holding his arm out to me so that i would come back.

A small smile crept along my face, but i wouldn't give in so i left anyway. As i was leaving the room, it had only now occurred to me that the blue light showed up again. Why did it show up? And why now? The fortune teller told me that i needed reason to go back in time, but i have no reason. I've already found my reason to be here. Was it some weird malfunction, or do i now magically have a soulmate in the 21st century? Either way, i wasn't going to find myself going back. Had this happened 8 months ago, i would've gone through without a second thought.

I have everything now, a family, a husband and a home. Hopefully i will find out soon enough, but for now, i would like to live here, with James focusing on our future.

I finally arrived at my dressing room where waited with my dress resting over her arms. "Good mornin' your grace." she announced welcoming me over. "Good morning Eloise, how are you?" i asked, beginning to take off my nightgown. "I'm doin' well your grace" she replied, tying up my corset. She put the dress over my head and set it comfortably over my body.

She was able to do a few buttons, but hesitated when she wasn't able to do anymore. "I'm so sorry your grace, this is the same size as all o' your uver' dresses." she said, desperately trying to squeeze the buttons. I confused expression was shown on my face, "don't worry Eloise, the tailors my have got the measurements wrong. Try a different dress." I suggested, helping her lift off the other one.

She walked over to the closet and got one i wore a few months ago out, this should fit me. We put it on again, but found ourselves in the same situation again with the buttons around the stomach area. "what is going on? I wore this a few months ago, i don't understand" i announced, trying to hold the back while Eloise tried to do the buttons. I took a deep breath out letting go and giving up. "I suppose i have been eating more considering it's only me and James instead of three brothers eating everything." I said, and we both giggled.

"fetch one of the looser dresses, and we will wear that for today." i told her, still confused as to our situation. i didn't realise i could gain weight so quickly, but i just went with it.

As Eloise was finishing putting the rest of the ties and bows in my hair, i clipped on some dangling earrings.

"I will go to the tailors today, and give them the new correct measurements. I can't think of any other reason why the dresses wouldn't fit." I told her, standing up and dusting down my dress. Eloise gave an awkward smile in return and refused to make eye contact with me.

"Eloise? What's bothering you?" I asked, coming closer to her. She nervously laughed before shaking her head, "nafin' your grace, just a thought is all, honestly you would think i'm hysterical." She replied. "don't be daft, please, tell me."

Eloise's expression slowly morphed into a concerned one, she took my arm and we both sat at the foot of the bed. "y-your grace, have you considered that-" she paused, unsure whether she should finish or not.

I searched her eyes for the answer she clearly so desperately wanted to tell me, "Eloise, you're beginning to scare me-". She repositioned herself so that she faced me and took my hand, "your grace...I fink' you may be wiv' child."

My eyes widened and i stuck my head out slightly, mouth agape but no words coming out, i sat there like some fish.

There was no way, how could i be? I began to shake my head in disbelief, and let out a small chuckle trying to deny the fact that Eloise may have been right. I wasn't sure why, but tears pricked the sides of my eyes and tears started to fall down my cheeks as i looked at Eloise trying to find some comfort in her presence.

I was in shock at the thought of a child, so many thoughts were consuming my mind and slowly taking over me. I was eighteen and i've just gotten married, let alone only just mending my relationship with my husband. And what if i wasn't even pregnant, maybe i was butchering myself for no reason and my dresses really didn't fit because i was eating more.

However, a flicker of light became of the dark and depressing thoughts. Having my own child, with James, felt like a dream come true. I'd always loved the idea of a family and having one with someone i loved, so it all seemed perfect, and around the right time. It was also what was expected of me, well, expected of women during this time.

I just didn't think i'd have a family so soon, and that was the thought that was daunting and towering over me the most. I felt too young and unprepared, like i didn't have enough experience, resulting in this child having a miserable childhood and an unreliable mother.

A voice broke me out of my thoughts, and it made me realise the Eloise had her hand rested on mine. "I know what you're thinking your grace, and i'm guessing it's only negative thoughts." she announced, and i nodded my head quickly at her because the thought of someone understanding my situation lifted some of the heavy weight off of my heart.

She let out a small chuckle and a few tears, when she had seen my eager response, and wiped a few tears from my face. "oh your grace, don't. we don't even know yet! it was just an idea, and even though you don't think it now. It's a wonderful one" she told me, rubbing her hand up and down my other arm as she held me close to her.

I felt solace in her words, and now began crying not from shock, but from joy.

It was a wonderful idea.

After my tears had dried and the shock had died down a bit, I hesitantly pulled myself away from Eloise.

"James is out for most of the day, would you call in a doctor Eloise." I asked her, standing up again. She smiled, "of course you grace." before leaving, and leaving me alone with my own thoughts.

I straightened my posture and wiped any excess tears of my face before powdering it slightly and leaving the room similarly to Eloise.

I had reached the bottom of the stairs just in time to catch James as he was leaving. I ran up behind him and threw my arms over his shoulders, kissing his cheek multiple times. He turned around, and slid his arms around my waist, chuckling softly. "what's this all about?" he asked. "oh nothing, i'm just happy." i replied.

An accomplished look crossed his face as if he was proud. "Well that's all i've ever wanted for you." he told me. I wrapped my hand around the back of his neck and pulled his face towards me so that our lips touched. Heat filled my body and the space surrounding us, his hands rested just below my rib cage as he passionately kept going at my lips as if he had been starved.

i pulled myself away, "that's enough for you, have a good day my love," i said. A deep smirk became of his face before he put on his hat and left.

I may have been pregnant with our baby was all i could think about.
