“Are you okay father?” Elizabeth asked standing next to him greeting the guest as they came in.

“I am fine darling, do enjoy the ball.”Elizabeth nodded and walked off. She saw a server with a plate of wine glasses and took one off before walking away. She saw her sister and quickly turned around and ran into a colonel who was rushing inside. The colonel knocked her over and stopped.

“I’m so sorry ma’am, I was not paying attention.” He out his hand down to help her up. Elizabeth took his hand and smiled. He gave her a hankerchief from his pocket.

“I will say I accept your apology if I knew the name of the colonel who bumped into me.” Elizabeth teased the young man. She took the hankerchief and began to dab at her dress. She knew Angelica would be mad since she was borrowing the dress. Elizabeth thought it was stupid to own all these dresses with layers of material when they had soldiers out on the field freezing to death. Alexander blushed and took his hat off.

“Colonel Alexander Hamilton at your service madam.” Alexander ruffled his ginger hair that had been messed up under the hat.

“Elizabeth Schuyler and I accept your apology.” Elizabeth smiled at him and giggled at him blushing of embarrassment. Alexander glanced past her into the crowd.

“Are you looking for someone Colonel?” Elizabeth asked.

“Oh Schuyler, your name is Schuyler, is your father General Philip Schuyler, if so, do you know where he is, I need to speak with him.”

“I am right here young man.” Philip Schuyler walked over, tapping his shoulder, and Alexander turned and saluted.

“There’s no need, come.” Philip Schuyler lead him away to a side parlor.

“Pleasure to meet you again Miss Schuyler.” Alexander took her hand in his before following Mister Schuyler. Elizabeth smiled and waved after him, before weaving her way into the crowd. Amidst the happy crowd, Elizabeth felt a pang of sadness wash over her. She didn’t know why it came, all she knew was that it did.

Alexander took his scarf and gloves off, placing them on top of a dresser. Sitting on the bed, Alexander took a deep breath, falling back into the mattress. He grabbed a pillow and screamed into it, hoping no one heard his screams.

He knew someone did when Alexander heard footsteps walking up the stairs. Sitting up, he ruffled his ginger hair. The door creaked open and Elizabeth walked into the room and sat next to him.

“What’s wrong dear?”

“Do I always screw everything up?” Alexander asked hugging the pillow to him.

“No darling of course you don’t. You are an amazing husband and father.”

“What about a lawyer? Am I good lawyer?” Alexander asked in desperation.

“Honey, you are an amazing lawyer. Any of you clients are lucky to have you.” Elizabeth scooted as close as she could, placing her arms around his neck. Alexander gave in and pulled her into his lap hugging her.

“I am so lucky to have you as my wife.”

“And I am lucky to have you as my husband, now will come downstairs and say hi to our son?” Elizabeth asked kissing him.

“Of course, anything for you darling.”

Day 6 of Hamliza month and Wordcember.

Wordcember today was Atelophobia. The fear of not being good enough. As someone who has this fear, it was nice to let my emotions out in this small piece. And it was nice to have Elizabeth come and Comfort (day 6 of Hamliza month) Alexander ti make him feel better. I wish I had an Elizabeth.

Snow swirled outside, but the studio was warm. Alexander stood in the corner trying to warm up for his dance lesson. His ‘teacher’ Elizabeth was already in the center of the room rehearsing for her recital Friday evening. Her pink tutu spinning as she did a triple pirouette. Alex took a deep breath and made his way to the center of the room.

“If I may, I’d like to have this dance.” Alex told her bowing and out a hand out. Elizabeth smiled and stopped.

“I think I’d like that very much Mister Hamilton.” Elizabeth put her hand in his, smiling as he stood up. Alex put a shaky hand around her waist. Elizabeth placed her other hand on his shoulder and gave it a supportive squeeze.

The music started, and Alexander stepped the wrong way, as Elizabeth went to the right. Alexander shook it off and kept dancing. After the music ended, Elizabeth stepped back and smiled.

“Hey don’t worry, it wasn’t bad at all. It was actually quite good the fact that I’ve only had one other lesson with you.”

“No, it was bad. It was really bad.” Alexander felt the phone in his pocket buzz, he checked the phone real quick before grabbing his stuff and running out the door. “I’m so sorry Elizabeth, I have to go!”

Alexander smiled as the waves crashed against his feet, the warm ocean breeze hitting his face. Elizabeth came over and hugged him from behind.

“This place is beautiful Alexander. How did you ever find it?” Elizabeth asked watching the sun begin to set.

“It just came to me, and I found it.” Alexander explained.

“I mean no one is around for miles, so there is no one to bother us. It’s amazing. The children will love to live here. Philip loves the Ocean just like you do.” Elizabeth said smiling.

“Yeh, the ocean is a unique and interesting thing, but it’s relaxing. I love it. And it covers more surface than the land. Think about how much there is out there to still explore. How many creatures still lay within it depths.”

“You love the idea of finding an unknown creature don’t you.” Elizabeth said kissing him.

“Yes I do.” Alexander picked her up and carried her back home in the setting sun. He glanced back and saw a special Loch Ness monster popping out of the water. Alexander winked at it and it disappeared back into the water.

“Alexander?” He heard Elizabeth In the distance. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced up at his wife.

“Morning beautiful, would you like to go to the beach today?” Alexander asked slowly sitting up.

“I would love to sweetie.” Elizabeth replied kissing him.
