"Ben. Why don't you put Sapphire to sleep" Elizabeth asked after dinner

"Sure Mom" Benjamin said, picking up a drowsy Sapphire in his arms.

Sapphire laid her head on her uncle's shoulder and clutched his collars in her chubby little fists.

"I shifted her cot to our bedroom Ben. Put her to sleep there" Elizabeth added and Benjamin nodded in understanding

Isabella's spine stiffened in nervousness as she heard Elizabeth.

Her mother had scared her before leaving, telling her about wedding nights and marital relationships. The thought that Sapphire would be there with them at night had been her only reassurance.

As soon as Benjamin left with Sapphire Elizabeth turned to Isabella with a smile.

"Come. I will take you to your room"

Isabella stopped on her tracks, looking at the bedroom in horror.

The bedroom was decorated with roses and scented candles. It was not the elaborate wedding 

"Bell-Bell" Sapphire squealed as she toddled over to Isabella in the kitchen, with Benjamin chasing her.

"Caught you" Before Sapphire could reach Isabella, Benjamin picked her up high in the air, making Sapphire break out into peals of laughter.

"Benji more" Sapphire demanded to be raised into air again and Benjamin did the same again making Sapphire laugh.

Isabella smiled seeing the scene. It has been a few weeks since their marriage and she is very very happy in her life.

"They are in the guest room with Mom. The designer just left" Benjamin said pointing towards the bedroom where his mother had taken Isabella into.

"Oh. I think it's time we left. We need to go home and make preparations for your welcome. Also there will be people talking. We just need to get it under control soon" Zak said and Benjamin nodded his head in understanding.

"I will go get them" Benjamin said politely and walked towards the guest room to get his wife and mother in law.

On the way he saw his mother, Elizabeth coming out of her bedroom

"Mom? You here? Where is Isabella and Momma?" Benjamin asked

"They are in the guest room. Sapphire was getting cranky. I just put her to sleep" Elizabeth said pointing towards her bedroom. They hadn't gotten her to sleep in the nur
