And Then I Found You

Geography Project

Nell crept into the nursery where nanny Anne was placing baby Rose into her cot. She wore a bright smile on her face as she looked over at her little sister giggling away in the cot. Nell adored her much like Billy did, but every time she wanted to see Rose Billy would always beat her to it, but not this time. Nell noticed that he was no where in sight and therefore she couldn't help but smile at nanny Anne who left her alone with the baby. "I'm just going to warm some milk, you can stay here for a bit can't you" Nanny anne smiled knowing full well Nell would only be too happy to watch over her.

Nodding Nell climbed up onto a footstool by the cot and peered over while nanny Anne excited the room. Rose giggled happily as she gazed her large brown eyes on Nell's face. Rose had gotten so big recently she had hair now growing on the top of her head, brown curly locks like her mother and for that alone Nell knew she would probably turn out too look like their mother even if Nell wouldn't. Nell hated the fact she had blonde hair and straight hair for that matter, she always wished it would be darker like Helena's and curly.

"Beautiful isn't she" Johnny's voice entered the nursery making Nell nod repeatedly as she gleamed at him.

"Bet she'll turn out just like mummy" Nell beamed reverting her eyes back to peer over the cot.

Johnny walked over and stood beside Nell smiling also at little Rose noticing her eyes light up brightly as if noticing her daddy had just walked in. "Why does she need that tube around her nose, it must be annoying for her" Nell pouted staring at the nasal cannula sadly.

"To help her breathe sweetheart" even saying this made him sad. He tried to convince himself that she would be alright in the future but there was no telling with her small lungs and with the amount of medication she was still under from the hospital. If he could give up his own oxygen to help her become more healthy then he knew he wouldn't hesitate to do so. It was just impossible.

"She look's so happy" Nell commented looking at Johnny watching as he smiled between the two of them.

"And are you happy?" he whispered to which she simply nodded 

"I'm happy you are back again Johnny, I love you" she gushed swinging her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly as she tiptoed on the stool. Hugging her back Johnny pulled her up into his arms and kissed her temple. "I love you too....I'm a very lucky man to have you all as my family" Smiling against his shoulder as he said this Nell pulled away slowly before kissing his cheek.

"There you are, I thought I'd find you in here" Helena came rushing into the nursery with a large smile plastered over her face as she approached them.

"Where have you been all morning?" he asked placing Nell on the floor before looking back into her excited face. "I've been with my agent...." her eyes looked excited and for that Johnny was wondering just what she had to tell him. "Baby would you mind leaving me and Johnny for a tick" Helena said kissing her daughters head before she nodded and ran out of the room.

"What's all this about?" now he couldn't help but smile, her happiness was rubbing off on him and he could tell she was super happy about something. "Guess who's going to be the new face of Elizabeth Taylor?" she stated placing the palm of her hands under her chin as she pouted knowingly at him.

"You're playing Elizabeth Taylor?" he asked smirking at the way she seemed so excited about this part.

"Yes!" she exclaimed removing her hands from her face and onto his arms instead. "The BBC are doing a little movie called 'Burton and Taylor' and I get to play Taylor.....not that I look much like her but still she will be such a great part I can feel it"

"Well that's great Hel, who's paying Richard Burton?" he asked still smiling at the way she seemed so happy and excited about this news. "Dominic West"
