Forever and Always is Complicated (UsUk Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty-Seven(ALOHA 2🌺)

Arthur's POV

We were at the beach for our round two, so to speak.
While awaiting our young child's makeup to be done, much to our demises, Alfred and I hung around with the young girls from yesterday.

"So how do you feel about a young little girl, your daughter, painting a new face?" Fiana smirked, leaning up against Hedvika.
"You know how I feel about makeup, Alfred." I mumbled, looking up at my much too worried husband. I didn't know why he was nervous, but he really really was.

"Be nice, Fiana." Hedvika warned, waving a stiff finger at the other. The Irish girl rolled her eyes. "Shut it, Czech." She mumbled with a smile. They were just like sisters.

"I really hate that she needs makeup," Alfred said finally, looking over and waving at Eliza.
"It's not our decision to make, don't blame us." Fiana said again.
"Quiet. Just because you're in a bad mood doesn't mean you can be asses to our bosses." Hedvika lectured again.
"Francis is my boss," she said, walking away. Hedvika let out an annoyed groan, shaking her head.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked, watching Fiana storm into the water angrily. Alfred chuckled.
"I don't even know," Hedvika shrugged.

"Twenty minutes!" A photographer yelled. "Fiana- for gods sake do not get into the water!" You could hear Frogface yell.

"Arthur, I have not seen you get into the water and actually swim." Hedvika said awkwardly.
"Oh? You haven't?" Alfred asked, grinning at me.
"The ocean is vast. You'll drown as soon as you get in. And don't even get me started on those waves-"
"Arthur," Hedvika smiled. "Stop being a pussy."
"He's not. He just can't swim."
"Oh fuck you." I mumbled, walking over to the crewmen.

Alfred's POV

"...Can't she just sit still for five minutes?" A coordinator asked me, Elizabeth rolling around in the water like she did the day before. I laughed, shaking my head.
"Do you have kids?"
He nodded slowly.
"And you wouldn't want them to change who they are..right?"
He nods again.
"Then don't try to change my kid." I smiled, patting the coordinator's head.

He gulped before walking away. I picked up my spinning and now probably dizzy daughter.
"Hello Precious child."
"Hi Precious Daddy!" She squealed, wrapping her small arms around me.
"Here's the thing Hon. We gotta dial down your weird okay?" I whispered, poking Elizabeth's stomach. She made a 'boop' noise and I couldn't help but laugh. "Ready for your first picture day?" I smiled, playing with her hair.

"Ten minutes!" Francis yelled this time, I grabbed Arthur. We started talking to the choreographer (is that what we'd call her?) and she began to do her job by telling us where to go and how to pose.
Once again I was having a rough time concentrating and listening and Arthur was being this precious little angel. Elizabeth was just having a rough time not throwing herself into the ocean and get taken away.

"Alright guys, five minutes." Hedvika approached us, raising an eyebrow at me.
"You look stupid," she huffed, beginning to talk to Arthur. I glared back.
Fiana came over to us too, smiling a bit. "So we're about ready to start shooting," she grinned at Elizabeth. "Are you ready?"
Elizabeth nodded vigorously, giggling. I smiled, feeling her whole body shake in my arms.
"Good," said Fiana.

*•*

We finished our shots on the beach, and it was really cute. Really cliché, but cute.
There's a couple shots of us three facing the ocean, Elizabeth holding both our hands in the middle. Yeah, that cliché.

Now we were to venture into the ocean, Arthur's literal enemy.
He clenched a towel in his hands, nodding and talking to himself.
I grabbed his hand, pulling him into my arms. We hadn't given each other any affection all day, totally stressing about Elizabeth. As always.
