Chapter Text
It’s been a few weeks since Amy and Laurie’s return in Concord, it gave them enough time to catch up with the family given that they were in Europe for a few years. They spent most of their day lounging with the March family in Orchard House.
On their way back home to the Laurence House, they find Mr. Laurence eating an apple in the kitchen. Mr. Laurence had just arrived from Boston, and he was pleasantly surprised to have found out about the new Mrs. Laurence prior to going home.
“Amy! I’m so glad that we can finally have a woman’s touch in this house, Laurie has never been able to give this place the homey feel it needed” says Mr. Laurence.
“Hey! I think I did a great job with the house” says Laurie.
“Oooh! I’ll be sure to give this place the revamp it needs Mr. Laurence” says Amy.
“Amy my dear, you do not have to call me Mr. Laurence. Please call me grandfather now” says Mr. Laurence.
“Yes grandfather and i’ll make sure Laurie helps me with the house improvements” says Amy.
“Of course my lady, you are an artiste I’m sure things will look a 100 times better” says Laurie.
“Oh right, I wanted to tell you guys I plan on hosting a ball tomorrow in the evening, it is to announce your matrimony. It seems as though people are still unaware of your marriage in Concord because I heard a few ladies gossiping about the available Theodore in the dock earlier” says Mr. Laurence.
“Oooooh seems as though Laurie has gained a few admirers, it would just break their hearts when they find out that handsome Theodore is already a husband” says Amy.
“Awe, don’t tell me my beautiful wife is jealous. Come on Amy, you know you’re the only one for me, the love of my life, my Raphaella” says Laurie.
“Laurie you’re so sappy, I’m not jealous. Anyways I trust you a 100% I have no reason to be” says Amy while she rolls her eyes.
“You wound me Amy, I was hopping to see you jealous. You get so cute and red when you are” says Laurie with puppy dog eyes.
“Alright alright, you two should get some rest. It’ll be a big day tomorrow, big day!” says Mr. Laurence.
“Have a good night grandfather” Amy and Laurie say simultaneously.
Amy and Laurie head to their bedroom, then change into their night clothes before laying in bed.
Laurie lays his arm over Amy while saying “Guess who’ll be the little spoon to my big spoon?”.
Amy giggles and says “I must be the luckiest girl in Concord right now. Who knew good old Theodore Laurence was a cuddle bear”.
“Hey, I only am with you. Cause you’re my personal bed heater” says Laurie.
“Well it’s good to know of what you intended me for” says Amy with an amused scoff.
“Mhmm, how are you feeling about tomorrow my lady?” says Laurie.
“Weeeell, first, nervous cause other people will finally know about us then there’s an off chance that they judge us, second, excited cause come on we’re basically announcing our love for everyone to see, and lastly, maybe a bit indifferent because by the end of all these muddled thoughts of mine I realise that no opinion of others is really relevant not unless its ours” says Amy.
“That’s nice to know Ames, Im just happy to shout it from the rooftops that you’re mine” says Laurie.
“Im also proud that you’re mine my lord. Now I think I need my beauty sleep, God knows how many people grandfather invited” says Amy.
“On that note, let us slumber my lady. Goodnight, I love you” says Laurie.
“Goodnight my lord, I love you too” says Amy.
The rays of the sun hit Amy’s face then she rolls over groaning. She heard groaning right next her and became aware of an arm protectively wrapped around her.
“Can my personal bed heater stop moving please?” Laurie says sleepily.
“As much as I want to stay and cuddle, I have to go. Meg, Jo and I are gonna look for a dress to the ball tonight” says Amy.
“Aww, but my lady you already have so many dresses from Europe that we took home. Im sure one of those can suffice for tonight” says Laurie.
“I know my lord but I couldn’t pass up the chance to spend some time with my sisters plus I get to shop while at it, which makes it so much better” says Amy.
“Ugh fine, they can hog you all they want in the daytime but later in the evening you’re mine. Promise?” says Laurie
“Of course its a promise” Amy says while leaning in to kiss Laurie.
“Pinky swear?” Laurie whispers as they kiss.
“Pinky swear” Amy says smiling into the kiss.
The kiss gets more and more heated as the time passed by. That was until they heard a loud knock on the door.
Amy and Laurie break away from the kiss startled.
“Teddy, you better not be hogging Amy all to yourself. Meg and I are gonna need her for today.” shouts Jo through the door.
“You really know how to ruin a moment Jo, go away!” says Laurie.
Amy swats Laurie on the chest and says “Don’t worry Jo, Im on my way down, wait for me there” says Amy.
“Okay don’t take too long lovebirds. Meg is already down there waiting” says Jo with a smirk on her way down the stairs.
Amy tries to move away from Laurie but he refuses to let her go and says “Uh uh, Im gonna need one more kiss from my lady, here” as he points to his lips.
“Fine but after that Id need to dress up fast and go. You don’t want Jo dragging me away” says Amy as she leans in to kiss him.
“Of course not” says Laurie smiling into the kiss.
Amy moves away and quickly gets dressed to prepare herself for a day out with her sisters.
Laurie lounges on the bed while watching his wife.
As Amy finishes she swiftly moves to give Laurie a quick peck and says “See you later”.
Laurie waves and says “Be safe, I love you”.
Amy says “I love you too” as she heads down to meet her sisters standing in the front door.
“You guys are attached by the hip, today you are ours” says Jo laughing.
“Hey, its because they’re newly weds. Let them be” says Meg with a smile.
“Ha ha very funny you two. Come one we need to find the perfect dresses so that us March sisters will look the best at the ball” says Amy.
As they step out the door they prepare to ride their carriage that would take them
into town.
