Kate threw her head back and let out a loud giggle, 'It was cute, I didn’t know you cried when we broke up!’ she smiled sweetly, running her left hand through his hair quickly. 'I did not…’ Will mumbled, looking at Kate as she raised her eyebrows in response, 'Well…I missed you…’ 'Aw, you’re adorable Willy…but you broke up with me, remember?’ she whispered, although the music coming from the other side of the room made it almost impossible for her husband of ten hours to hear. 'Yeah I know…it was the worst decision I ever made.’ he smiled, pulling her onto his lap and kissing the top of her head softly. 'Really? I thought the worst decision you’ve ever made might have been to wear your red suit to our wedding this morning…’ she teased, knowing she had hit a nerve, although she was joking. 'Oi! I got told to wear that! It’s not a 'red suit’, it’s my uniform! And you said I looked sexy in it…’ he frowned. 'You do…but I think you look a little bit sexier now…’ she muttered whilst unbuttoning another one of the buttons on his shirt; the bowtie and jacket had been removed a few hours earlier. 'Oh yeah? Thanks’ he grinned, before grabbing her hand and standing up, dragging her with him towards the dancefloor. 'Will! Where are we going?’ Kate asked, following his lead depite her uncertainty. 'It’s time for our first dance,’ he replied, holding her close to his chest and nodding to Harry, prompting their favourite song to start. Kate smiled. It might not have been the wedding she’d been planning since she was a little girl; if it was then the groom would have worn a simple suit, Ellie Goulding would have been singing through a CD player, not a live microphone, and the entire world wouldn’t have gasped in delight at the first glimpse of her wedding dress. But William was the husband she’d always dreamed of. Kind, caring, generous, slightly funny and extremely handsome. She was in no doubt that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together, and to Kate, that’s all that mattered.

William watched Kate as the shouting became louder, his chest physically aching as he saw tears form in her eyes. It took him only a few seconds to realise that he had the perfect opportunity to make things right with his wife, which he was desperate to do.                ‘Come here.’ William smiled, placing his hand on Kate’s head and pulling her towards him, kissing her lips passionately, to the delight of both the excited crowd and his wife. As they slowly pulled away, Kate looked into his eyes and smiled sweetly. ‘Thank you.’ She whispered, grabbing his hand, ‘I’m sorry.’ William pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, ‘Me too. You know how much I love you Katie…’ he mumbled into her ear, slightly worried that other people could hear. ‘Of course I find you attractive…’ ‘I know…and I love you too.’ She giggled, pecking his cheek quickly before sitting up straight once more.                Although he was fairly confident about the fact that a picture of him kissing his wife would be all over the newspaper the next day, William found it hard to care. He knew how important little kisses and cuddles were to his wife, and he vowed never to make her feel like he didn’t care about her ever again. He may have disliked the idea of making his relationship more public than it needed to be, but if it made Kate happy then it was something he was more than willing to do.

********************************************************************************** William held his breath as he unlocked the door, only to find that Kate and George were upstairs. He walked upstairs and walked into the spare room, the eerie silence engulfing the entire house suggesting to him that he was still in trouble and should probably avoid his wife until the morning. Kate, however, didn’t feel the same way. She noticed the light in the spare room was on and stood in the doorway quietly, watching her husband take his suit jacket off sadly. ‘Are you okay?’, she whispered, not wanting to wake up their son who had not long fallen asleep. ‘ Mmm, I’ll be fine.’ William forced a smile and slowly looked up at his wife before looking back down at his shoes as he untied the laces and took them off. ‘I’ll sleep in here tonight, I know you’re still mad at me…which is fine, I probably shouldn’t have said anything to that woman…’ Kate’s heart started to ache as she watched William’s shoulders sink. Her original plan was to make him grovel and then forgive him, but looking at how drained and sad he was, she couldn’t do it. Kate walked over to William, who was sat on the bed, and kneeled down next to him, removing his dark blue tie and undoing the buttons on his shirt for him. ‘You’re not sleeping in here. Don’t be silly.’ She smiled, looking into his eyes. ‘You’re sleeping in our bed, with me. I’m sorry Will, I overreacted. I just get so jealous when I see or hear about you talking to other women, I don’t know why…’ ‘It’s okay, I’m sorry too.’ ‘No!’ Kate argued, ‘You don’t need to be sorry, today must have been sad enough for you, you didn’t need me making it worse. I’ll make it up to you, Will, I promise.’ She smiled, kissing his lips softly as she stood up and grabbed his hand. ‘Shall we go to bed?’ William nodded and headed towards their room, ‘Okay…I love you…’ Kate giggled quietly, happy that she was going to fall asleep in her husband’s arms once more, ‘I love you too’.

               ‘I just don’t see why it’s that much of a problem!’ Will stated angrily, ‘I’ve been at work all week! Harry’s asked me if I want to go out with him tomorrow night and I said yes!’ ‘I’ll tell you why it’s a problem William!’ Kate responded without hesitation, ‘I haven’t been out for one night since George was born, and he’s teething so I’m more tired than I’ve ever been! I thought you could maybe look after him for a few hours while I go and see Pippa on Sunday, but there’s no chance of that if you’re out clubbing in London! Sometimes you go on as if you have no responsibilities at all!’ William sighed loudly, ‘Oh that’s ridiculous! You don’t want to go out! Ever! No-one asks you, and even if they did, you wouldn’t go!’ As soon as he said it, Will regretted it, as his wife slowly looked up at him with tears forming in her eyes. ‘That’s not fair.’ She whispered, looking down at the floor again. William’s heart sank in his chest. He hadn’t meant to upset his wife, but in an anger-fuelled speech he had blurted out something he really didn’t mean, and she was deeply hurt by it. ‘You can go.’ She mumbled. ‘Do whatever you want.’                As Kate sniffled lightly and wiped away a stray tear as it trickled down her cheek, their living room became filled with the sounds of George babbling quietly through the baby monitor, rather than their argument that had come to an abrupt end. William stomped into his son’s bedroom where he was sat up in his crib, his eyes becoming wider and a grin appearing across his face at the sight of his daddy. ‘Hello little man! Daddy’s missed you today!’ Will whispered, picking up his five month old son and rocking him in his arms until George became sleepy once more, and began to drift off to sleep for the second time that night.                It was at that point that William truly realised how much of an idiot he was being. Perhaps it was due to him spending so much time at work that he had forgotten just how much he loved his little boy and he hated seeing him in so much pain as his first teeth were coming through. As he tucked George back into bed and kissed him goodnight, Will heard Kate crying quietly in the living room, which made him feel ten times worse than he already did. He took a deep breath and walked back into the room, immediately kneeling down next to Kate who was curled up on the sofa in tears, and took her hands in his own.                ‘I am so sorry.’ Will said quietly, looking his wife straight in the eye and wiping her tears with his thumbs gently as she gradually met his gaze before looking away once more. ‘I don’t want to go anywhere this weekend, and I’m an arsehole for saying what I did.’ ‘Yes, you are an arsehole.’ Kate muttered, wrapping her arms around Will’s neck and burying her face in his shirt. Will chuckled quietly, ‘I didn’t mean it, and I don’t want to go out. I think I’ve just forgotten how much I love you two recently because I’ve barely seen you. I’ll make it up to you, I promise.’ He looked up as Kate broke into a smile. ‘You’re absolutely sure? Because you can go, it’s fine…’ ‘Nope, I want to stay here with you…unless you want to go out with Pippa?’ Will asked. ‘No…I just want to stay with you.’ Kate whispered, kissing her husband’s forehead tenderly. William grinned as he placed a kiss on his wife’s soft lips as she sighed and snuggled into him further.                A few minutes later, William and Kate were wrapped in each other’s arms on the sofa, flicking aimlessly through TV channels and talking about anything and everything. Kate was right, William had decided, about him acting as though he was still a single man without a care in the world. But he wasn’t – far from it. He had an amazing wife and a young son to take care of, which meant his days of partying hard with his younger brother were pretty much over. Not that he minded. Harry might have had the more vibrant, exciting life, but William was convinced that coming home to Kate and George every night meant that he had the better lifestyle. Although earlier on in the day he might have preferred his brother’s wild nights of clubbing and getting drunk, as he watched his wife giggling at the television and heard his son’s gentle snores coming from the other room, he knew he wasn’t jealous of Harry. Not at all.

             William sighed. They were due to appear at an event in London later that morning, and since both he and his wife needed a good night’s sleep in order to appear in public without stifling a yawn and struggling to keep awake, their 2 month old son had spent the night with Kate’s parents. However, they were still somewhat exhausted, as instead of getting a full night’s sleep for the first time since little George had entered the world, William and Kate had spent the night reacquainting themselves with each other’s bodies, having sex for the first time in months. As much as Kate had enjoyed it, her mind was solely focused on the engagement that she was attending in two hours. William, on the other hand, had other ideas.                ‘I won’t ruin it; I won’t touch your hair I promise…’ William pleaded as he watched her walk back into the living room. ‘We have ages before anyone’s coming to get us, please…’ ‘No…You can wait until we get back…you’re a big boy, I’m sure you’ll be fine.’ Kate replied, ruffling her husband’s hair playfully and kissing his forehead as he grumbled. ‘George will be back then and we’ll be too busy…’ ‘Oh Will, stop moaning!’ Kate snapped, looking her husband in the eyes as he grabbed her and pulled her down onto the sofa with him, his lips meeting hers in a rough, passionate kiss.                Kate knew that was it. Once Will had gotten his way, he would ensure that he finished what he started…and she couldn’t say she wasn’t going to enjoy it. Before she knew it, Kate was straddling her husband on their sofa, their clothes thrown haphazardly around their living room as they kissed each other eagerly, almost desperately. William had seen his wife naked for the first time in three months the previous night, and he was far from willing to go that long again. Even though his attention had been on his newborn son in recent weeks, nothing could even come close to the way he felt about Kate…not now, not ever.                Their spontaneous burst of passion was to be short lived, unfortunately. Rebecca Deacon, Kate’s private secretary, walked up the path to their house, grabbing the key she had been given and unlocked the door. She had been asked by Kate to come and remind them when they had thirty minutes before they had to leave. However, as she opened the door, all three of them began to regret making and agreeing to that request.                ‘Your Royal Highness? I’m just here to remind – Oh my God!’ Rebecca exclaimed, trying her hardest to remain composed at the sight of the future King and Queen of England practically naked before her. William grabbed a blanket and wrapped both him and Kate inside it tightly as Kate mumbled without making eye contact, ‘Thank you Rebecca…we’ll be ready in half an hour.’ ‘Okay…’ Rebecca sighed with relief, running out of the house and locking the door quickly behind her. Kate slumped down onto William’s chest. ‘That was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. What am I going to do now?! I can’t look her in the eye!’ William smirked, his face still bright red with embarrassment, ‘We’re paying her, she’ll have to get over it’, he laughed as he reached under the blanket, cupping Kate’s bum gently, ‘Besides, she got to see your amazing arse, so I’d say she’s had enough perks for one day…’ ‘Oh, shut up Will!’ Kate giggled, giving her husband one last kiss before getting up and picking up her clothes, putting them on and wandering into the bedroom to sort her hair out. William chuckled quietly, although it was extremely embarrassing to be caught practically having sex with his wife by a member of their staff, he knew they would remember it for the rest of their lives. He was sudden brought back to reality when he heard the panicked voice of his wife, making him smile once more: ‘I told you you’d mess my hair up, idiot!’

               Will sighed and closed his eyes; if Kate didn’t want to spend the night with him then he thought he should get some sleep. However, as soon as he turned over in his bed, Kate crept into his room quietly before immediately jumping into bed beside him. ‘I’m sorry I took so long!’ she whispered as her teeth were chattering. ‘My bedroom window wouldn’t close and I didn’t want to wake those two up, I’ve just managed to close it but my room is absolutely freezing!’ Kate looked up at Will and smiled at him before pecking his lips and greeting him properly, ‘Hi.’                ‘Hi…’ Will laughed quietly in response, ‘You’re shivering! Come here.’ He mumbled, taking Kate into his arms and rubbing her back gently as she sighed and relaxed into his strong, masculine frame. ‘I know, I’m sorry…I would’ve put some warmer clothes on but I thought that would take even longer and you might have fallen asleep so…’ ‘Kate!’ Will chuckled, ‘it’s fine, don’t worry! I’ve got some warmer stuff you can wear, give me a second…’                William climbed out of bed and grabbed a polo shirt and some football socks before throwing them at Kate, who giggled quietly and put them on, grinning as she did so. ‘Thank you…your shirt smells nice’ she chirped, as Will frowned at her comment. ‘Does it? Alright then…’ he laughed. ‘Yes! You always smell amazing…’ she replied, feeling her cheeks burn up as she blushed furiously at what she had just said. Will let out another hearty laugh, ‘Aw that’s nice, thank you…so do you.’ He kissed her cheek delicately as he got back into bed with her, wrapping an arm round Kate’s body protectively as she cuddled up to his chest once more.                Half an hour went by, they shared jokes and stories with each other, as well as a fair few kisses, before Will blurted out what had been on his mind all day as he lay playing with his girlfriend’s hair lazily: ‘Do you think we should tell people?’ Kate sat up and looked into his eyes, ‘Why? I mean – do you think we should tell people?’ ‘Well…’ Will sighed, ‘Not really…but I hate us having to sneak around the house so maybe we could just tell Fergus and Olivia, they won’t tell anyone will they?’ ‘No…it’d be nice not to wait until midnight to see each other I suppose’ Kate giggled, as she looked up to William and kissed him softly. Will smiled against her lips, ‘We’ll tell them tomorrow then, but in the meantime…’ he whispered in her ear before kissing her back with more passion than ever, a mere taste of what was to follow that night.                They were going to become a ‘proper couple’. And even though William was worried that the whole world would soon find out and demand to know everything about his beautiful girlfriend, he knew that they would be okay. Because Kate loved him, and there was no doubt that he loved her.

               ‘Okay, you hold him and I’ll test the water’ Will said, passing George to me as he rolled up his sleeve. ‘I’ve just tested it! It’s fine!’ I protested whilst cradling my little boy. He’d been asleep for a few hours and was starting to get upset, but as William took him into his strong arms once again, he immediately calmed down. ‘Okay, just lie him down gently and I’ll get the sponge’ I said, getting up and walking into the nursery to try and find what I was looking for. Truth be told, I was worried George was going to start screaming; I know most babies don’t like being bathed straight away and even though he’s only properly been in my life one day, I can’t bear to see him upset. My fear soon subsided as I walked back into the bathroom and heard Will’s coos. George’s eyes were wide open and he seemed mesmerised by the rubber duck my husband was holding in his right hand. ‘He loves it!’ Will smiled as I kneeled down once again, taking the duck and laughing as George flapped his arms about excitedly. ‘Yeah he does! I can’t believe it’ I replied, sighing with relief that his ‘little man’ was happy being in the water, ‘He can have swimming lessons soon then!’ I laughed, ‘Not just yet Will, now you hold him and I’ll wash him, okay?’ ‘Yep’ he grinned, holding George underneath the water carefully.                A few minutes later, our little boy was out of his first bath, wrapped in a warm towel and cuddling up to his daddy on the sofa, as I got his clothes ready for bed. After putting a nappy and a babygro on him, Will put him to bed before coming back into the living room a while later, where I was still unpacking our bags from the hospital.                ‘He’s asleep…he should be fine for a few hours now’ Will smiled. ‘Ah, thank you for doing that’ I mumbled, stifling a yawn. ‘No problem…you should go to bed, babe, you’ve earned some sleep’ he whispered, kissing me on the head as I stood up. ‘I will, thank you for being so helpful all day’ I muttered into his ear, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing his cheek several times. ‘Oi, I’m helpful every day!’ he moaned, sticking his bottom lip out. ‘Yes you are cutie pie’ I cooed at him tugging at his lip with my thumb and forefinger as he grumbled, he hates it when I treat him like a baby. I suppose I don’t have to anymore now we have George, but William will always be my baby, no matter what. ‘Now…are you going to come to bed with me?’ ‘Yes I am’ Will grinned, grabbing me by the hand as we walked into our bedroom, where George was snoring lightly in his crib. ‘Maybe tomorrow you can wash me while I have a bath?’ William whispered as we got into bed. ‘Mmm…we’ll see’ I giggled, kissing him on the lips as I snuggled into his chest, watching our little boy snoozing peacefully until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer.                Although I know my life won’t be as peaceful as it was anymore, not that it was ever completely tranquil with my husband constantly playing practical jokes on me, I’m looking forward to it more than anything, especially since I get to bring up George with William by my side, which is all I’ve ever wished for.
