Two years had passed since Arthur and Elizabeth had fled America, they owned a large white brick estate in the countryside that was abundant with sheep, cows, horses and pigs. Their green luscious land stretched far, through woods and ponds. 'Morgan's ranch' was carved into a piece of wood nailed to the porch's doorway, Arthur called it his "own little west."

Elizabeth sat on the front steps to her and Arthur's home,

"Mummy , look what I found!" Called a small voice, running up to Elizabeth

"Excellent find Winifred! Can you tell me what plant that is?"

"Oxydaisy!" Winifred attempted to say the real name,

"Close, but it's oxeye daisy." Elizabeth corrected.

Winifred handed her find to Elizabeth and clambered up on her lap.

Down in the field Elizabeth saw Arthur riding on his horse, holding their son in his arms.

"Who's that Winifred?" Elizabeth pointed to Arthur.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Winifred jumped off clumsily and toddled onto the field to meet Arthur, Elizabeth followed her.

"How are my girls?" Arthur bragged, dismounting his horse, he helped their son down and each child ran to the opposite parent.

"James, how was your ride?" Elizabeth asked

"Really good mummy, daddy showed me how to make the horsey go fast!" James's voice was filled with adventure. "Winifred, let's go and play!" James pulled Winifred away from Arthur and out into the vast green field.

Arthur walked up to Elizabeth, he was dressed how he always did love filled his heart and it showed in his bright blue eyes.

"How was your day Mrs Morgan?" Arthur took Elizabeth's hand and ran his finger over a large diamond ring that glistened in the sunlight.

"Perfect, how was yours?" She asked as she pulled her hand in so that Arthur was closer to her.

"Perfect, like you and our little family."

They gazed out onto their land and watched James and Winifred playing together, finally they felt at ease and free of struggle.

"Arthur, I've got something to tell you." Elizabeth took his hands and gazed up into his eyes, she felt exactly the same feeling she did the first time she looked into them, completely and utterly head over heels in love.

"What is it my love?" Arthur asked

"You said 'our little family', I think you mean, growing family." She placed Arthur's hands over her stomach.

Bursting with excitement Arthur picked her up and spun her round, he placed a deep lust-filled kiss on her lips.

"Really?" He couldn't stop smiling.

Elizabeth nodded and sat down on the front steps with Arthur, she rested her head on his shoulder and he placed his arm around her.

They both sat in silence gazing out over the emerald ground.

Their lives were finally perfect.
