The cops arrived shortly after and arrested Victoria on assault and intended bodily harm, taking statements from many people about the place.

Rose changed out of her shirt into a spare one she kept in Sammy's baby bag. Rose sighs into Ace, he was holding their finally sleeping son "You okay?" he asks.

She nods "Yeah, I just wanted one night without something happening, and even at a stupid festival, I manage to get into trouble" she groans in annoyance.

Ace chuckles, "Well I will never have a dull day with you by my side" he tries to make light of the situation.

Rose smiles at him, she appreciated the effort of making light of the situation, but she still felt like crap.

Scott saw the sadness on his daughters face and sighed, walking up to them he takes his grandson and puts him in the pram, handing Tommy the bear and sending him to the car to put it away, turning back to the young couple he smiles "I have Sammy, go have some fun, you need to relax, the crew wants to eat so we'll be at the food stalls when you're ready".

Neither Ace nor Rose had time to argue the point as Scott was already walking away with the entire crew following behind.

"They just ditched us" Rose laughs out, Ace nods his head and takes his girl's hand. They wander around the festival, Ace and Rose being competitive with one another on the games, their smiles never leaving their faces, when Rose won a game she threw her hands up in the air and laughed victorious, Ace shook his head amused and grabbed onto her, he had his guys running to the SUV often with the prizes they won.

They walked under the pretty lights, the smell of cart food of all kinds filling their noses and laughter of children and families together in their ears, Ace spots a cart to the side and stops walking "Wait here" he says and rushes off before Rose would ask why, she tried to follow where he went, but she lost him in the crowd.

Ace ran up to the cart and smiled at the lady, he paid for what he wanted and placed it behind his back as he walked back to Rose with a smile on his face, she looks at him with a raised eyebrow.

She grins in wonder "I know we did everything backwards, baby, dating and such, but I want you to know I love you and I will do everything I can to keep you by my side, and look after Sammy and the others when they come along" Ace breathes out nervously and pulls his hand from behind his back.

Rose smiles as she takes the rose flower from his hand and brings it up to her nose to inhale she scent. She smiled like a lunatic, but she didn't care. "Thank you" she whispers to him with a tint of pink on her cheeks.

Stepping forward, Ace lightly kisses Rose on the lips and pulls her into a hug, Rose felt the butterflies fill her stomach, she had never felt like this with anyone, not like anyone looked at her the way Ace did but she couldn't see anyone else being with her. Continuing their walk, hands entwined, Rose leaned into his side and wrapped her free hand around his arm, rose in hand, she couldn't stop smiling.

As they moved about, Tyler spotted Ace and Rose and waved them over. He was sat in the corner of the festival that seemed to be deemed as a teen zone with the football team including Drew were, a bunch of girls in small clothing that would fit on a child better hung off many of the guys lounging about.

When they got the many of the girls pulled their tops down and skirts up looking at Ace, despite his girlfriend on his arm they didn't care, if they would get his attention they would. He never glanced their way; he had no interest in them.

Tyler offered Ace a beer which he accepted, they were all underage and in public, yet no one was stopping them, Rose found that unusual but remained quiet.

Tyler also offered Rose a beer, she politely declined. One of the girls scoffed "Prude" she says loud enough for everyone to hear a few of the other girls laugh.

Drew and Tyler snigger, they knew Rose was anything but a prude. Rose coughs "Whore" she bites back with a knowing smirk.

The girl gasps placing her perfectly manicured fingers over her mouth dramatically "How dare you" she shouts.

"Oh please, you've slept with all the football team" Drew remarks making Rose laugh.

"I haven't slept with you" the girl says seductively and Drew rolls his eyes, there was a reason behind that.

"That's because..." he starts but Rose nudges him, he looks up at her and she raises a brow, she had no idea how much he had to drink and didn't want him revealing something he would later on regret. He sighs and looks at Rose grateful for the interruption, she places a hand on his shoulder and smiles.

Ace pulls Rose over to a seat and sits down, tugging her arm for her to sit down on his lap, she sits down and leans against his chest, head against his shoulder, Ace rests a hand on her hip under her shirt.

"Who's ready for Halloween?" Tyler asks excitedly.

Ace laughs "You just want to see girls in skimpy outfits" looking at his brother who nods without any guilt or hesitation.

Rose snorts "You are such a manwhore".

Tyler grins "And Sammy will learn my ways too" he knew it would rile Rose up.

"You go anywhere near my son other than to be his uncle and I will make sure you can never stick your dick in a girl again" Rose warns him and Ace chuckles underneath her.

Drew also laughed "Speaking of my godson, where is Sammy?" Drew asks.

"With Scott and the guys" Ace says, and he nods.

"Is this the plan for the rest of the night?" Rose asks gesturing to sitting about, the guys and they all shrug, "We could go back to my place, parents are out of town for the weekend?" a guy on the football team Rose had seen the other day at school when she dropped Sammy off Luke says.

The other guys nod their heads in agreement including Tyler and Drew. "Ace are you coming?" Tyler asks.

He looks at me "Don't look at me, just because we're dating doesn't mean you need my permission for things, as long as you don't go anywhere near a girl I don't care" she tells him.

"Dude, where did you find her?" John: another jock asks amazed by what she just said.

Ace smiles at Rose and she reciprocates that smile "You coming?" he asks.

"I would but in about five seconds, Sammy is going to need feeding?" she tells him, and he raises a brow in question, there was no way she could know that.

Then Scott arrived with a crying Sammy "Sorry sweetie, I think he wants feeding, he's been changed and everything" Scott says arriving with Sammy crying in his arms.

Rose adjusts herself on Ace's lap and takes Sammy from her father, his cry's settle but not by much.

"Once you've fed him I can take him home, you can spend a few more hours with your friends if you want?" Scott suggests, just because she had a baby didn't mean he was going to stop her from going out, she never did it before and he was going to make sure she had some free time now.

Scott remained nearby as Rose fed Sammy, the guys on the football team looked at Rose wide-eyed as she set herself up to breastfeed, but one look from Ace and they all turned away. It wasn't as though they could see anything, the black lace cover over her shoulder, chest and Sammy hid everything.

Scott took Sammy going to burp and change him, he left a kiss on his daughter's head and patted Ace on the shoulder before heading out with Leighton and the other older guys. Tommy, Ryan, Jack, and Michael arrived with big grins on their faces, "Who's throwing a party, I need to get laid" Ryan says clapping his hands together excitement.

At the mention of getting laid, the girl who called out Rose looked over and smiled seductively at Ryan and the other three. Rose scoffs and turns to boys "You sleep with any desperate whores and I swear to god I will make your lives a living hell" she tells them, and their smiles fall, "And she's underaged, most of them are" she says and the boys take a step back.

They weren't going to risk that, never in a million years, Ace leans up "You are underaged" he says into Rose's ear and kisses it.

She shivers in pleasure "I'm not a desperate whore" she tells him in a whispers and he nods his head in agreement.

"Hopefully, you won't get pregnant at your second party too" Jack laughs out.

Rose reaches up and slaps Jack on the arm, he looks down at her and smirks "Was that supposed to hurt?" he asks.

She squints her eyes at him and a challenge, holding a hang up she gestures with her index finger for him to come closer, the one thing about the crew as they couldn't resist anything Rose did, so Jack stupidly leant towards her.

Ryan, Tommy and Michael looked in fear knowing something was going to happen, she grabbed his chin and leant close to him, their noses touching, Jack's eyes go wide, and she smiles "Don't push it Jack I know all of your secrets" she mutters then pulls his chin to the side and kisses his cheek.

Pulling back, she smiles amused when Jack doesn't move the other boys laugh and the raises a brow at them "I don't know why you're laughing, I know all your dirty secrets too" she says, and they go silent.

"I hate you" Ryan mutters, but the smile on his face told everyone otherwise, he didn't hate her, he never could. She was family.

Rose grins "You love me" she squeals out and laughs, the boys shake their heads, she was right, she always was.

After that everyone headed to Luke's; one of the jock's houses and the party was practically in full swing when they arrived, all it took was a few messages through the phone and the entire teenage town was there.

Ace wrapped an arm around Rose's shoulders as they walked into the loud house, he knew what happened last time and though she could handle herself, it was moments like how they met which was her weakness and knowing her past he now knew why she struggled to react. Bodies were everywhere, cups and bottles in the hands of everyone there. Most of them were underaged, but that didn't stop them.

Ace guides Rose through the crowd of dancing sweaty bodies until they reached the kitchen. He went to the fridge and pulled out an unopened bottle of water and handed it to Rose before opening a bottle of beer for himself.

The music was loud, and Rose could barely hear a thing. Ace put an arm around Rose's shoulders, and she leaned into him, part of his move was he wanted her close, the other was half the guys in the room were staring right at Rose with lustful eyes.

Drew wandered into the kitchen already a little drunk, he hadn't stopped drinking the moment he walked into the house.

When his eyes landed on Rose he grinned "Rose, come dance with me" he stumbles out as he walks towards them with a lopsided grin.

Rose chuckles "How much have you had to drink?" she asks.

He shakes his head, "Not enough, now come dance with me, the other girls are too handsy" he pouts and reaches for Rose's hands. She hands Ace her bottle who takes it without question and smiles up at him, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.

Ace raises an eyebrow in suspicion, Rose just grins and takes Drew's hand. He pulls her into the living room, and they start to dance, Drew got lost in the music, Rose however had her eyes locked onto Ace's as she moved across the dancefloor, her bac against Drew's front with a smirk on her face.

She could feel his heated gaze on every inch of her body which made her blush and more turned on at the same time if that were even possible.

Drew leaned his head on her shoulder and laughed "I think you made every guy in the place horny" Rose tips her head back and laughs.

She looks around the room to find many guys looking at her in direction, but only one of them mattered.

Ace locked his jaw as he started at Rose dancing with Drew, despite him being gay watching Rose dance with another guy was both a turn-on and making him angry that she was rubbing up against another man.

Ryan, Tommy and Tyler joined his brother Ace and followed his gaze, his eyebrows raising in surprise when he sees Rose sexually dancing with Drew behind him and Ace not moving from his spot to beat him up.

"Dude, why are you letting your girlfriend dance like that with Drew?" Tyler asks confused.

Tommy looks over to Drew dancing with Rose and a small smile falls onto his face. The guy was nearly plastered but he was still managing to make Rose laugh. Drew separates from Rose and wanders out the room, "I better go and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid" Tommy says and heads out the kitchen towards Drew's drunken direction.

Rose stood in the middle of the dancefloor alone, the music changed, and she shrugs her shoulders. She didn't care if she was dancing alone. Closing her eyes, she moved her hips along with the beat of the music getting lost in the vibrations beneath her feet.

Her hands move to her hair and she pulls the bobble out, her luscious blonde locks dropping across her shoulders, placing the bobble on her wrist she pushed her hands through her hair as she swayed her hips to the music.

She felt free, for the first time in a long time she let go of everything and let the music surround her.

Ace placed his empty beer bottle on the counter and started moving towards Rose, he spotted a few guys also making their way, but he would get their first. When his hands wrap around her waist she felt the sparks and butterflies in her stomach and smiled, turning around Rose wrapped her around Ace's neck and pulled him down for a kiss.

It was passionate, sensual and exciting. Rose locked her fingers in his hair, and he groans out in arousal, he loved it when Rose did that.

They pulled away from breath, each one of them panting heavily with smiles on their faces "I love you" she tells him, and he kisses her roughly but quick on the mouth, she could taste the alcohol on his lips.

They continue to dance together until Rose needed to use the restroom, Ace took off into the kitchen glaring at any guy who stared lustfully at Rose.

Up the stairs Rose looks for a bathroom, she opens one door and is greeted by a bedroom, this continues, she thought she found the bathroom but instead stood wide-eyed at the sight before her.

Then a smile fell onto her face, she wanted to jump up and down with delight and squeal in excitement but kept it to herself, she didn't want to disturb them. She would however question them in the morning to see if they remembered anything of this night. Closing the door as quietly as she could, Rose went to the bathroom and then headed downstairs and joined Ace with a beaming grin on her face.

"What's got you smiling?" he asks wrapping an arm around her waist.

She shakes her head "Nothing, doesn't matter" she chimes, even though her insides were jumping for joy and she kept them at bay. No one wanted to see her go crazy with excitement she would look insane.

Jumping up onto the counter Rose pulled Ace towards her, he stood between her legs and she grinned at him "Thank you" she whispers.

"For what?" he wonders, resting his forehead against hers, in that moment she felt the music around her dull and there was nothing in her sights except for Ace right now.

"For loving me, for caring for me, for looking out for me" she says honestly.

Ace smiles lovingly down at her "Till the day I die" he says and kisses her forehead.

"As long as that isn't anytime soon" she whispers back and traces the outline of his face.
