Leah's P.O.V

"Is he finally asleep?" Ellie asks as I gently lift her arm up and slide my body in front of hers on the sofa and wrap her arm around me

"Yes, although it would have been quicker if you both weren't laughing at each other for 10 minutes" I turn to face her, raising my eyebrow but a smile on my face

Ellie starts laughing "It was him"

"You can't blame the baby"

"I am 100% blaming the baby"

I shake my head, laughing lightly, I ended up kicking Ellie out of the room to get Archie to sleep as they both just kept laughing at each other, for no reason what so ever, as cute as it was, Archie was way over tired and I knew if I didn't get him to sleep he would be up all night, so she had to go.

"What times your flight tomorrow?" I ask, tracing patterns into Ellies shoulder

"Dinner time"

"Tomorrow night?"

"No, dinner time"

"You mean lunch time?"

"No Leah" Ellie rolls her eyes "Dinner time. About 1pm"

"That's lunch time, but lets not argue" I smirk

"I'll kick you off this sofa in a minute" Ellie laughs, making me scream as she pretends to push me off

"I'll kick you out this house if you do" I smirk

Ellie pulls a playful shocked face "Touché"

"Have you even packed?"

"Yeah"

"You haven't have you?" I laugh

"Ah I'll do it tomorrow. I'll have to leave early in morning to go home"

Home. Ugh.

"What's wrong?" Ellie asks, probably noticing the change in my facial expression as she said home

"Nothing" I smile

"Talk to me"

"It's nothing, It was just...when you said...home"

"Well it kinda is" She laughs lightly

"I know" I smile

"Not forever though"

I look up at her "Really?"

"If you'll have me that is" she smiles

"This is still your home to me and it always has been"

"True" Ellie smirks "I am still paying for it"

"Shut up" I laugh and roll my eyes "You know what I mean"

"I know, I'm kidding"

"So you do want to come home? Eventually..."

"Listen" Ellie gently strokes my hair behind my ear "I want to be with you Leah" Butterflies. "And I don't think we need to do the whole back to the beginning thing but...I'm scared about moving back in straight away"

"I know" I smile "I want to be with you too. I've loved having you back here the last few days but I understand, I'm scared too"

"We need to build the trust back up"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want you to constantly worry about whether I will leave you again"

I sigh, focusing my eyes back onto my fingers that are still tracing patterns in Ellies shoulder
