Bruno was coming home from the hospital and Charlotte had spent all day cleaning the house and making sure everything was nice for him when he got back. She'd even made dinner, which sort of made her feel like she was trying to be his little wife or something, but at least she'd made sure to get her homework and everything done first. And to clear the google image search for Jaden's magazine shoots from her browser history.

When Bertie sat up on the couch and started barking at the door, Charlotte grinned and scooped him up, walking to the door and opening it before Bruno could try. "You're home!"

	Bruno was nervous about being out, but that was normal. He was just afraid he'd have another relapse and he'd lose Charlotte forever. But, he was better. He was going to be fine. When she opened the door, he beamed at her. "I am home." He told her, wrapping his arm around her to pull her to his chest. "I have missed you so much." (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Not as much as I missed you," Charlotte said, looking up at Bruno and kissing his chin. It felt good to be held by him again. She kind of wondered what his therapy said about sex with her. She was different. "Careful. Don't crush Bertie. He's our lovechild."

She pulled back so she could show Bruno the dog, who was panting and wagging his little tail, looking up at him. "This is Bertie. I got him to help protect me while you were gone."

	"He's not our lovechild. I'm like his step father that's coming in to steal his mummy." Bruno laughed and pet at the dog, then kissed Charlotte deeply. "It's nice to meet you, Bertie. Even if you are ugly." He ruffled his ears, then pulled back. "Do I smell food?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Charlotte nodded, leading Bruno into the kitchen, where the food was laid out on the table. "I made dinner," she said. "Porkchops and cheesy potatoes and some beans even though I know you probably won't eat the beans."

She sat and put Bertie in her lap, kissing the top of his head. "Don't let Daddy fool you, baby. Mummy loves you just as much as always," she promised, and then put him down on the ground. "I'm really happy you're home, Bruno. I missed you so much."

	Bruno grinned at Charlotte. "My father is Walden Macnair. You're lucky I'll eat the pork chops." He pointed out as he took a seat at the table, picking up a fork. "I'm happy to be home. I've missed you more." Bruno promised her, taking a bite of her potatoes. He hummed softly. "Fuck. These are good. I've missed home cooked meals." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll cook for you all week," Charlotte promised, smiling at Bruno. "And every weekend. I did all my homework in advance so I wouldn't have to be distracted with other things while you were here."

She took a sip of her water, then got to her feet. "I bought beer in case you wanted one. I just remembered. I was thinking maybe we'd have a welcome home party for you and invite everyone over soon, if you wanted to? You could catch up with them. Cepheus and James are engaged now and so are Albus and Scorpius. It's crazy."

	Bruno planned to propose to Charlotte, but now he felt like maybe he shouldn't. Not with the way she'd said that. He smiled at her and nodded as he took another bite. "Yeah. We should have a party." Bruno told her. "Invite everyone over. I feel like they've all changed so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Charlotte nodded. "I know what you mean," she said, opening the fridge and grabbing a drink for Bruno, setting it in front of him and taking her seat again. "I haven't really seen anyone that much. They've all been caught up with their own thing."

She shrugged. "I guess college ended and everyone started on their own life plans or whatever. Jaden and Jude, it's kind of obvious why I haven't seen much of them. Albus and the Malfoys have just been caught up in their own drama, I guess."

	"We had the internet in the hospital." Bruno assured her. "After you told me about them the first time, I started checking for news about them. Still can't believe Cepheus and James Potter are getting married." He ran a hand through his hair. "What do you think about marriage these days? You used to be looking for a prince."

Charlotte laughed. "Everyone always brings that up," she said. "I don't want a prince anymore. I just want you. You're all I've ever needed, Bruno. I thought I made it pretty clear how I felt for you."

She reached out and brushed their fingers together. "I love you. I don't know. I think Cepheus and Scorpius and Albus might all be rushing into marriage, but I want to get married eventually. That hasn't changed."

	Bruno looked back at Charlotte for a moment. He had plans of how he wanted to propose to her, but they'd have to wait if she didn't want to get married right away. "Well. One day, when you least expect it, I will propose." He told her with a small grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlotte laughed at that, smiling back at Bruno. "I'm looking forward to it," she told him, smiling. "You're the one I was always meant to end up with anyway." She picked up her fork, eating more of the dinner. "So how are you feeling?" Charlotte asked. "Now that you're out of the hospital? Are you nervous about it at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm extremely nervous. I don't want to fuck this up again." Bruno told her with a soft sigh. "And I"m afraid that I will. But, I just love you so much. I'd die if I ever hurt you again." He ate his food slowly. "I just really love you. You're my whole life. I don't like who I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charlott 2013-03-12 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Charlotte smiled at Bruno. "I love you too," she said, reaching out and touching his hand. "I don't want you to be too nervous, okay? I know you're sick and you have compulsions you don't want to have." She pulled his hand to her lips, kissing his palm. "I love who you are. You're going to get better and you won't fuck this up."

	"You have a lot of faith in me. I wish I had that much faith in myself." Bruno replied, kissing her forehead softly. He pulled his hand back and started eating some of the food she'd made for him. "How is school?" Bruno asked. "Let's talk about you instead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"School's good," Charlotte said, nodding. "I joined a couple of clubs and I got a job at a coffee shop on campus. It's only part-time, but I like the people I work with. They're nice."

She smiled at Bruno. "I miss my old friends, but I'm working on making new ones. Econ 101 is really hard. I don't know why I thought it would be easy, but I have to work my butt off. I'm glad I'm taking classes here and not in Edinburgh though."

	"I was always so sad when you were gone." Bruno told her. "I can imagine how you felt when I went into the hospital. I'm sorry that I put you through that." He took her hand and brought it to his lips. "So, are we going to put Bertie in a bassinet?" He asked, teasing. "Or a stroller and wheel him around town?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, he is our lovechild," Charlotte said, looking down at Bertie's big eyes and laughing. "Sometimes I put him in my purse. I've taken him to school a couple times. I feel like he'd get lonely at home."

She bent down and picked up Berti, putting him in her lap and feeding him some of her pork chop. "He's such a good little boy. I bet he'd like a bassinet. He's so spoiled already."

	"No. Charlotte, he's a dog." Bruno laughed, shaking his head. "You can dress him up, but no buying baby stuff....." He glanced down at the dog. "Okay. You could maybe put a pacifier in his mouth and take a picture for facebook..." He laughed a bit. "But, no bassinets. Maybe a dog bed. Or something. Can we get a more butch dog for me?"

	charlott 2013-03-13 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"I know he's a dog," Charlotte said, kissing the top of Bertie's head. "He's an adorable puppy and I love him very much. I bought him a little hoodie already. And a hat in case he gets cold." She looked up at Bruno and laughed. "What, you don't think Bertie is manly? We can get you a butch dog if you want one. Just no bully dogs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bru 2013-03-13 03:21 am UTC (link)
	"Bertie is definitely not butch." Bruno looked down at the dog for a moment, then snorted. "He's the Leslie Jordan of dogs, Charlotte. He's not even a Kurt Hummel." He ran a hand through his hair. "I'm going to get a huge, Macnair looking dog." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charlott 2013-03-13 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Just don't get a dog that will eat Bertie," Charlotte said. "Get a big Macnair dog who's really a great big sweetheart and a pushover. Or maybe a girlfriend for Bertie." She grinned at Bruno. "That would be cute. They could have babies and then we'd have a house full of puppies." (Reply to this)(Parent)
