William laughed softly, his beloved's hands in his own.  She looked pale but she had always been something of a porcelain beauty, taking after her mother's side.  There was a warmth in her eyes that was carried up from her very heart and he basked in it, finding her very presence intoxicating.  He had never seen her so radiant, so beautiful, so perfect.  With lovers' eyes he looked at her and saw everything his absence from her life could have had.  It was a bittersweet thought to think of all the time they had missed out on together but it was quickly dispelled at the thought of how much of their lives they would now spend with each other.<br/><br/>He couldn't have asked for anything more in life.  Everything was exactly as he had dreamed it, a literal dream come true.<br/><br/>Children.  She was talking about children now.  The world was moving too fast in one day and William gave her a knowing smile, as she had always wanted to be a mother from their earliest days together.  Perhaps that was why she took to bossing him around and why he had followed so easily; she had the maternal instincts that would make her a fabulous parent of their children.  In time though.<br/><br/>"I know our children will be beautiful.  I hope we have them one day... but for now... let's talk about us and our courtship.  Children will come but let's not rush into it too quickly, Catherine.  I want to relish every moment and not push it too far, too fast."
