#six 22 23 Boleyn tour

[six-costume-refs]

I noticed in some pictures that Zan Berube has skintoned fabric sleeves under her green ones!

(Photos from the queens' instagrams, got them from @/sixthemusicalextras)

I don't think any other Boleyn costumes have this so far but I wonder if they'll start incorporating it when needed! I'm guessing it's got something to do with preventing skin contact with the vinyl and also the actor's preference?

Yes! They added it a few weeks into the run. Should be one of the alterations that they make for fit and comfort. My guess would be that the shoulder seam was rubbing and causing issues. Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert got it around the same time as well.

The History of Swingo, Part 4: The Heroines

(Jennifer Caldwell performing as Catherine of Aragon on the UK tour. Photographed by @paigeleigh_photography on Instagram.)

(5) Jennifer Caldwell was originally cast as alternate Boleyn/Howard in the 2019-2020 UK tour and continued on with the production in 2021-22 after the interruption due to COVID. She wore the teal alt costume with shorts and a Howard skirt as variations. In January 2020, she briefly joined the West End cast as a swing and went on for 5/6 roles, including her Aragon debut. Even more impressively, her one and only performance as Seymour (one of her THIRD covers) happened before she had debuted Boleyn. After returning for a new contract as principal Boleyn on the 22-23 UK tour, she was an emergency cover on the West End while the principal cast was performing for Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee. Since leaving Six, Jennifer has been seen in Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder, Lizzie, and most recently Beauty and the Beast as Belle.

Days to complete Swingo: 78

Date completed: February 1st, 2020

Performance stats (principal #s in parentheses):

Fun Fact: Jennifer has a history of saving the day— before joining Six, she worked front of house at the Arts Theater but ended up performing in a show when multiple principal performers of Knights of the Rose were out, after which she was asked to officially join the cast.

(8) Harriet Watson has become a Six legend for the sheer number of times she has returned to the show as an emergency cover. Starting as alternate Seymour/Parr on the 2019-20 and 2021-22 UK tour, she wore (and still wears) the orange alt costume. In addition to many brief returns as an emergency cover, she returned as a universal swing for the 21-22 and 22-23 West End casts and the 22-23 UK Tour, and most recently was a temporary swing with the 23-25 West End cast. Harriet has the longest stretch between first and last debuts (mainly due to COVID), and is the first member of the Swingo club to not perform all six roles within a single contract. She almost certainly holds the record for longest duration between first and most recent performance (currently 11/15/19 to 9/6/24 or 1758 days). While Harriet has performed in other projects since initially leaving Six, including Rock Follies and …Forum, I imagine we’ll see her in a crown again.

Days to complete Swingo: 808

Date completed: January 30th, 2022

Performance stats:

Fun Fact: Harriet is the first and only alt to have performed their last scheduled show as a third cover (Howard). She did a bunch of shows after that, but it’s still a fun fact.

Six Fun Fact

Because I'm obsessed with spreadsheets, I've been slowly adding more and more data to my little (ok it's big and slows my computer down hardcore) spreadsheet of Six information. After adding initial debut dates for every role each performer had, I came across a little fun fact: of the 73 unique debut orders performers in Six who performed 2 to 6 roles have had, there have, to this date, been 3 groups of people who debuted all the roles they have performed (again, to this date) in the exact same order; 2 groups of 3 who debuted 3 roles, and 1 group of 2 who debuted 2 roles:

The Aragon/Cleves Curse: A History

INTRODUCTION

This is kind of a joke and kind of not. The Aragon/Cleves first cover combo has proved to be quite problematic for our alts! Today, I’ll be detailing every actress affected by this “curse” in any capacity.

VICTIM #1: SHEKINAH MCFARLANE West End Alternate, 15 August - 12 October 2019

(pic 2 - @/89samwithacam, pic 3 - @/bonniebritainphotography) Shekinah initially had second and third covers in her contract but only had enough time to rehearse her first covers because she was already casted as principal Cleves for the second UK Tour. Just the first of many who were denied debuts...

VICTIM #2: ELLA BURNS Australia Swing, 25 January to 5 March 2020

(pic 2 - promotional material, pic 3 - taken by cast member) Ella did cover all six roles, but she only got to debut Aragon and Cleves before the production shut down due to COVID-19. She also ended up being the only swing that didn’t return when the production re-opened. This example seems out of step with the others in this list, but it’s too big not to mention.

VICTIM #3: CASSANDRA LEE UK Tour Alternate, 24 October 2019 - 9 March 2022

(pic 2 - @/daisygalforgphotography, pic 3 - @/paigeleigh_photography) For the three years she was in the show, Cassy somehow only played her first covers despite both her fellow alternates on tour Jennifer Caldwell and Harriet Watson hitting swingo. This, allegedly, was by her own choice.

VICTIM #4: PAISLEY BILLINGS West End Alternate, 16 November 2021 - 16 October 2022

(pic 2 - @/daisygalforgphotography, pic 3 - @/snappy_six, pic 4 - @/mattpartphoto) Paisley is the first Aragon/Cleves alternate to debut a second cover: Parr. That was the only other cover she got to debut, however, and she was the only swalt to leave at cast change. Her fellow alternates, Roxanne Couch and Danielle Rose, got to do 5/6 and a swingo, respectively. Note that this was Paisley’s first musical theatre gig and it might have been her choice to stick to 3 debuts.

VICTIM #5: KELLY DENICE TAYLOR Broadway Standby, 22-27 June and 17-23 July 2022

(pic 2 - unknown, pics 3 & 4 - taken by cast) This is a tamer example, but Kelly (of the Aragon Tour) had gone on standby on Broadway two separate times. This first time, she only covered Aragon and Cleves. She never needed to go on that time. The second time around, she covered Aragon, Cleves, and Seymour. That time she ended up having to go on -- as Seymour.

VICTIM #6: GRACE MELVILLE UK Tour Alternate, 10 March 2022 - 23 April 2023

(pics 2 & 4 - @/isaacgrinnellphoto, pics 3 & 5 - taken by cast member) Our most recent victim is Grace, who is the first Aragon/Cleves alternate to debut both second covers - those being Boleyn and Parr. She, unfortunately, hit a snag early on in the tour with Aiesha Pease’s departure. In the time that Grace had to serve as temporary principal Cleves, Leesa already debuted both of her second covers! Grace had time to catch up when Jaina left and Leesa had to pull temporary principal Howard duty for a time, but eventually she still ended with 4/6. With Grace having played her last scheduled show just a couple days ago, yet another swingo has been denied.

POTENTIAL VICTIM #7: MONIQUE ASHE-PALMER West End Alternate, 18 October 2022 - Present

(pic 2 - @/snappy_six, pic 3 - unknown, pic 4 - @/myheartofstonexo, pic 5 - taken by cast member) And so I bring you to our latest A/C Alt, Miss Monique Ashe-Palmer of the West End cast. She actually has the most decent chances so far of subverting the curse, as we’re about halfway through the current cast’s run and she has debuted both second covers. However, she still does lag behind fellow newcomer alternate Leah Vassell in terms of debut dates and she has the least amount of shows performed among her cast. Time will tell how the curse treats our northern queen!

CONCLUSION

Now, I’m not calling Six racist, but something has to be said when every doomed A/C alt has been black. Six tends to typecast black women as Aragon and Cleves and that’s totally on them, but the curse part is obviously a series of unusual coincidences and not anyone’s fault -- I think. Regardless, it’s been very interesting to track these sorts of things and I might make similar posts like this in the future.

Aragon Tour Wigs (Alt)

We’ve just gotten a few new wigs so I thought an Aragon Tour alt wigs post was LONG overdue. Here it is!

Kelly Denice Taylor Kelly’s first wig was a dark brown with highlights, pulled back in braids with the back left in loose curls. Her second wig is darker, closer to her Seymour wig, and has a middle part and her hair is pulled to the back in two braids.

She has had two Seymour wigs. The first had a center part with braids on either side. This new one just has a center part with the front loosely swept to either side.

Kelly is on her third Cleves wig and/or style. First is just a small side updo with some loose curls. She wore the first for her put-in and initial few shows. The second was more of a faux-hawk style with braids up to the center of the head, a bump in the front, and the rest of the hair loose and falling towards the back. The third style actually seems like it’s the second wig restyled and is a mash-up of the first two designs: the side swept updo of the first, with the side braids and red streaks and larger volume of the second. It looks like the hair is also held in place more rather than the looser styles she’s had before.

Kelsee Kimmel I go into more detail about all of Kelsee’s wigs here. Kelsee has had about three wig styles for Aragon. The first had no part, braids pulling the hair away from the e face and back into loose curls. The curl texture, volume, and seemingly the cut got messed around with throughout the run (center is one example). She got a new wig with no braids, different texture and length, and less volume.

Kelsee has had four(!!) wigs or styles for Seymour. Kelsee’s Seymour wig wasn’t finished when they had their initial promo photoshoot with the alts, so her own hair was styled (far left) with a side part and French braid to the side. Then she got a straight red wig with a center part and braids on each side, which she only wore for her put-in. By her debut she got a new wig that more closely resembled her own hair texture and color with a side part and braids. Her newest wig has a center part and larger curls.

Kelsee’s first Parr wig had a curly updo with the curls piled on top of the head. Her second wig matches the style Roxanne Couch got at West End cast change: a braid on the top leading into a mid-crown curled ponytail.

Cassie Silva Cassie has the standard straight layered wig for Boleyn and straight pink ponytail wig for Howard.

Her first Cleves wig was only worn for her put-in and initial first few shows. It has an all-brown curly updo on the top that’s pinned and not left loose. A few months later she got a new wig in a faux-hawk style with red highlights and braids on the side (fairly similar to Kelly’s second!). That was eventually restyled to get rid of the full head faux-hawk and instead to bring the curls forward.

Erin Ramirez Just like Cassie, Erin has the standard straight wig for Boleyn and straight pink pony for Howard.

Erin has had three wigs and/or styles for Parr. The first was her Boleyn wig restyled for Parr with two braids into a side bubble braid. The second was the fairly standardized curly updo. The third is a braid on top with a medium ponytail in the back, initially worn by Roxanne Couch and recently received by Kelsee Kimmel and Marilyn Caserta as well.

The History of Swingo, Part 8: The Show Must Go On

(Harriet Caplan-Dean as Catherine Parr. Photographed by @paigeleigh_photography on Instagram.)

(13) Harriet Caplan-Dean was the swing on the 2022-23 UK tour, although she has returned as an emergency or temporary cover on both the tour and the West End multiple times since leaving the show. She wore the silver swing costume with pants and Cleves variations. Harriet very nearly overtook Harriet Watson with the most emergency cover shows performed, although Harriet Watson still remains on top. Currently, Harriet is performing in the ensemble of & Juliet, also covering Anne Hathaway and the Nurse.

Days to complete Swingo: 85

Date completed: June 9th, 2022

Performance stats:

Fun Fact: Harriet has almost certainly performed in Six in more countries than any other non-cruise performer, as the UK tour 4.0 performed in South Korea and she joined the 5.0 tour as a temporary swing while they were in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. 

(Leesa Tulley performing as Catherine of Aragon. Photographed by @paigeleigh_photography on Instagram.)

(15) Leesa Tulley was the alternate Boleyn/Howard in the 22-23 UK tour cast and wore the orange alternate costume for roles other than her first covers. After her tour contract ended, she performed on the West End as an emergency cover many times in both her first and second cover roles (Seymour/Parr). Currently, Leesa is starring as Nancy in the new Marlow and Moss musical Why Am I So Single?.

Days to complete Swingo: 339

Date completed: February 18th, 2023

Performance stats:

Fun Fact: Leesa seems to have fallen prey to what fans call the Orange Alt Curse, where performers who wore the orange alternate costume seem to be more likely to return to the show after leaving. The most notable victim is Harriet Watson, but Hana Stewart and Danielle Rose were also clearly affected.

Hand in Glove - Chapter 30 | Ben Hardy x OFC

A/N: Wow, y’all! We did it! We’re at the last Hand in Glove chapter! What a ride it’s been, am I right? Enjoy this one. I tried to tie off most of the loose ends, buuuuuuut you know how I am. Expect the unexpected. There might be a sequel after Gold Digger’s done. 

Warnings: fluff that’ll rot your teeth and the usual stuff. 

Word count: who gives a duck?!

Annie drove home on auto-pilot. Her mind felt like it’s sinking in quicksand. She's pregnant, again. She didn't plan to be pregnant, again. She needed to figure out how to tell Ben about it, again. This time was different, though. It wasn’t quite as scary as the last one. It wasn’t quite as upsetting. Deep down, it was actually exciting.

When she got home, she walked about in a daze, going from room to room. Trying to locate her partner in crime and his superhuman sperm cells. Passing by the glass doors to the back garden, she found him tossing a ball for Frankie to fetch and having a smoke.

She opened the glass doors and caught his attention. He beamed at her, looking over his shoulder.

"I'm pregnant."

"That's nice," Ben said, almost robotically, tossing the ball and watching Frankie chase after it. "Wait, what?"

"I'm pregnant," Annie repeated, "my eggo is preggo, Ben."

"As in, pregnant? Pregnant?" Ben stared at her. The cigarette fell from between his fingers. “Is it mine?”

"Of course it's yours, you wanker!"

"But you -" Ben started and stopped. " - and the -"

"Yeah, it turns out I'm one of the 0.8% it doesn't work for."

"Is it... it is still up there?"

"No. Dr. McCarthy took it out."

"How far along -"

"8 weeks."

"You're not pulling my leg?" Ben felt dizzy. Weak. "You're not taking a sick piss?"

"I'm pregnant, Ben." Annie started to smile and took his hand. She placed it right under her bellybutton. "Your almighty, ultra-strong, wicked swimmers are unstoppable."

###

"You're wearing jewelry now?" Joe snickered and pointed at Ben's hand. "Did Hollywood affect you that much?"

Ben looked down at his hand and smiled. With Annie at work and Rory at daycare, he told the boys to come over to his house. It was time for him to break the news, now that they were back, well-slept and no longer jet-lagged.

"Oh, this ring has nothing to do with Hollywood," Ben smirked, "could one of you text Rami and see where he is? Anyone fancy a beer?"

Gwilym and Joe exchanged confused looks at Ben's fussiness and nodded. Ben was visibly nervous or excited about something and they could tell. Right from the moment he greeted them at the door.  

"Help yourselves, gentlemen," Ben placed two six-packs on the living room coffee table and opened his own beer bottle. He bounced his knee as the three waited for Rami to join them. They busied themselves with idle chit-chat. They tried holding press-tour stories off for when all four will be present. When the doorbell finally rang, Ben sprung to his feet and almost ran for the door.

"Right, so of course I want to hear all about the press tour," Ben started as Rami sat down with his own beer bottle. "I have to break some serious news first."

"Oh... kay..." Rami glanced sideways at Joe as he took a sip from his beer.

"Annie and I got married."

The silence was deafening. You could hear a pin drop. Rami, Gwilym, and Joe stared at Ben, frowning and blinking.

"Did you lace this beer with something?" Gwilym finally asked.

"Nope." Ben tried to keep a serious expression on his face as he raised his hand and wiggled his fingers. He pointed at his ring finger with the other hand. "See? Wedding ring."

"When you say 'Annie and I got married'," Gwil scratched at his bearded chin, "what do you mean, exactly?"

"We're legally married." Ben rephrased his previous statement. "Went through the whole process, jumped through all the hoops. Brian, Roger and Jamie were our witnesses."

"When?" Gwil cocked his head.

"Three weeks ago."

"Was it on a whim?" Joe looked hurt. "Did you just decide to elope, just like that?"

"No. We planned it, very carefully."

"And you told no one because...?" Rami's beer-holding hand hovered halfway to his mouth.

"Annie insisted on it."

"Huh." Gwilym leaned back and rubbed his thighs. "That's..."

"A lot." Rami mused.

"We're also pregnant again." Ben blurted out and busied his mouth with his beer bottle again.

"He totally laced this with something," Joe announced and leaned forward. Anger etched on his features. "What the actual fuck did you just say?!"

"Calm down, Joe." Gwilym said and put a hand on Joe's shoulder.

"We're pregnant. Well, Annie is."

"What do you mean, she's pregnant?" Rami laughed nervously.

"Well, Rami," Ben smirked, "when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much -"

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Joe's hands flailed.

###

"And cut! We got it!!!"

Annie slumped her shoulders and stopped weeping, relieved that she didn’t have to run through the whole scene again.

Anne, her character, apprehended and jailed in the Tower of London, listened to the accusations against her. Upon hearing the long list of men who testified against her - one of which was her own brother - she broke down. The scene drained Annie and took 12 takes to get right. She felt dehydrated, puffy and very, very tired.

"You're pregnant?"

The entire set fell silent, all looking from Clara to Annie in utter shock. A lighting fixture creaked as it swung back and forth. An intern dropped a script to the floor. The thud reverberated around the large space.

Annie stared at her best friend, gobsmacked.

"Annie, you're pregnant and you didn't tell me?" Clara stomped over to her, eyes shooting daggers. Her costume rustling as she skipped over carefully camouflaged cords. "The secret wedding - fine, it's whatever. But this?!"

"Clara, this isn't the time nor the place to -" Annie stammered out, feeling her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

"Fuck that!" Clara snapped. "Annie, what the hell?"

###

"So there will be an actual wedding?" Gwilym verified for the fifth time.

"Yes!" Ben groaned. "God!"

"And baby number two is due in...?"

"30 weeks."

"Wow." Rami fiddled with the label on his beer bottle.  "Wow."

"Yeah." Joe huffed. "Big wow."

Ben's cheeks flushed crimson red. He felt like his parents were cross with him for being naughty. He didn't know if this was just shock or actual outrage at that point. He raked his fingers through his blond mop of hair, feeling quite ashamed.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner." Ben almost mumbled. "It's been really hard to keep everything secret. I almost spilled the beans three times. I wanted you guys to be in on it but -"

"But the Supreme Leader had other plans." Joe shook his head. "I get it. I'm fucking pissed, man, but I get it."

"We are happy for you, you know." Rami pursed his lips. "Just... overwhelmed with all the news."

"How did your parents take it?" Gwilym wondered.

"We told them the next day." Ben recounted. "They were confused at first, not sure if we're kidding or not. Then, they were angry with me for hiding it and doing it like... that. The pregnancy reconciled them. They're over the moon."

###

"10 weeks?" Clara barked, pacing back and forth in Annie's trailer. "Ten whole bloody weeks?!"  

"Yep." Annie pursed her lips and nodded sheepishly. "Ten whole weeks."

"Annie, why?" Clara stopped, planting her hands on her hips. "Why aren't you telling me anything anymore? And let me guess-” Clara’s upper lip curled in a menacing snarl, “ -Jamie knew all along!"

"Actually he didn't," Annie interjected. "You kind of announced it to the world with your little outburst on the set."

"Why would you keep secrets from me?" Clara's voice sounded almost whiney. "We're best friends since... forever!"

"Because these are the things I needed to not jinx, okay?" Annie explained, subconsciously resting a hand on her belly. "I know it's just superstition but ill-wishers are -"

"God, Annie!" Clara groaned. "Fuck the ill-wishers! Fuck you as well!

Pounding on Annie's trailer door interrupted the two. Clara marched over and opened it, quickly pushed aside by Mike and Jamie.

"You've got some explaining to do." Mike pointed at her.

###

Anne Boleyn prepared herself for this - her execution - multiple times. The Hangman of Calais's arrival was pushed back due to weather and travel conditions. She joked with her ladies in waiting, earlier on in the day, talking about her little neck. Keeping up appearances. The show must go on!

She stepped onto the scaffold on the morning of May 19th, 1536. Escorted by Sir William Kingston, her jailer, Anne left the Tower's royal palace for the last time. The same place she slept in right before her coronation. Her crimson outfit trimmed with ermine, she made sure everyone present knew her status. Her reason for dying. She clasped her hands and took a step forward.

“Good Christian people,” Anne started shakily, “I have not come here to preach a sermon. I have come here to die." Anne took a shaky breath and squared her shoulders. "For, according to the law and by the law, I am judged to die," her voice carried as the crowd listened silently."And, therefore, I will speak nothing against it."

The crowd was mute as they solemnly listened to their Queen speaking her final words.

"I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak of that whereof I am accused and condemned to die," Anne looked at the peoples' faces. "But I pray: God save the King and send him long to reign over you!"  

A small smile tugging at Anne’s lips as she watched the memories play out in her mind’s eye. "For a gentler, nor a more merciful prince was there never, and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and sovereign lord." Pausing, she looked up at the sky, for one last time. "And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best." A tear rolled down her cheek, quickly brushed away. "And thus, I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.”

Anne kneeled at the scaffold. Distracting her and making her look away from him and his sword, the executioner beheaded the queen with one stroke.

"And cut! That's a wrap!"

Annie heaved a sigh of relief and felt her hands shaking as she clutched at her little baby bump, almost showing. Her last scene is over. Greensleeves is finally finished.

Ben clapped furiously, hooting and hollering for his wife as she got up off the wooden scaffold. Her speech - Anne’s speech - although he had heard it more than a hundred times at that point had still managed to wring his heart and guts. It never ceased to amaze him how Annie and Anne sort of merged together. One mixing in with the other. Annie’s vows echoed in his ears. ‘I will kill for you and die for you.’

‘Oi, Jones!” Annie snapped her fingers in front of his face. “Earth to Jonesy!”

“You were amazing up there.” Ben smiled and wrapped his arms around her. “Breathtaking.”

“Let’s go celebrate!” Annie beamed up at him. “There’s cake!”

“Shall we, then,” Ben bend his arm and waited for Annie to hook hers with his, “my lady Greensleeves?”

###

Other than the odd work-related trip and appearance, Ben and Annie were honeymooning at home. They watched Annie’s baby bump, Pookie, grow. They watched Rory learn how to walk, talk. Turn into a tiny little human.

Annie laid back on the sofa, her head in Ben’s lap. His fingers idly twirled locks of her hair as they watched whatever was on the telly. Grateful to have the house for themselves. Learning every curve and edge of each other’s body after dropping Rory off at daycare. Nesting and preparing a bedroom for Rory and remodelling the nursery for the new baby.

“D’you think it’s a boy this time?” Annie wondered and looked up at her husband.

“Dunno.” He shrugged. “Do you want it to be?”

“I think so, yeah.” Annie looked down at her little bump. “Pookie, give us a hint.”

“Maybe there’s two -”

“Ben Jones, I will kill you.”

“I’m joking!” He laughed and tugged on her hair gently. “However many there are in there, I’ll love them.”

“What about names?” Annie started to sit up so she could turn around and face Ben. “Thought of any?”

“Well, Henry for a boy.” Ben shrugged.

“Really?” Annie snorted. “Henry?”

“Yes.” Ben nodded proudly. “Name fit for a king!”

“Right.”

“Why, do you have better ideas?” Ben scoffed.

“Richard.” Annie suggested. “Also a king.”

“Meh.”

“John.”

“John?” Ben looked at her as if she went mad. “John Jones?”

“Yes. Our little Jay Jay.” Annie cooed jokingly and nuzzled Ben’s nose with hers.

“Alexander.” Ben offered and rolled his eyes when Annie frowned. “What?!”

“We already have two A’s, Ben!” Annie pouted. “Annie. Aurora.”

“William.” Ben shrugged.

“Sounds to much like Gwilym.” Annie retorted. “What!”

“How?”

“Just - ugh! Not William.”

“Fine. Christopher?”

“Sounds like a Winnie the Pooh character. Christopher Jones.” Annie grimaced. “Peter?”

“No. Not Roger, either. Or Warren!”

“Mark?” Annie suggested.

“Might as well name it Galileo.” Ben scoffed. “Man, this better be a baby girl.”

###

Annie brushed her teeth before bed, happy to know that the baby’s heart is beating and there is only one of those beating hearts in her womb. She just finished rinsing when Ben entered the bathroom. He stood behind her as she bent over for the sink and held onto her hips.

“Seriously?” Annie looked up at him through the mirror, water dripping down her chin.

Ben bit his bottom lip and nodded slowly, cocking his head to the side as he examined her bum. Annie watched his reflection curiously. He gave her bum a light squeeze and rubbed it as if it were a crystal ball. Annie stood up straight and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

“I don’t know what it is, exactly,” Ben murmured and wrapped his arms around her waist, “but there is something about you that I just... “

“Oh?”

“Mhm.” Ben purred and leaned forward.

###

“Is he out?” Annie sobbed. “Is he okay? Is everything out?”

Whoever said that giving birth to the second baby is easy clearly lied. It all went down so fast. She didn’t have time for an epidural. She didn’t have time to even digest what was going on. One minute her water breaks, then wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am, a human baby is introduced to the world.

“He’s out!” Ben beamed at his wife. “He’s out. Everything’s out. You did so well.”

“Ben, he tore me to pieces!” Annie violently wiped her tears away. “I’m hurting. I’m tired. I’m pissed the hell off. Stop smiling like that!”

“Annie, he’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.” Ben ignored his wife’s rant and brushed stray locks of hair away from her forehead. “And you are my hero, Annabelle Lee-Jones. You are an absolute rockstar.”

Annie sobbed incoherently in response.

“There he is, mummy!” the nurse said as she brought over the bundle of wailing joy. “Your beautiful baby boy!”

Annie took the bundle in her arms and looked down, tears still pouring down. Ben chuckled and wiped her tears away from the baby’s cheeks.

“What’s your name?” Annie whispered at the baby. “Galileo?”

“Annabelle…” Ben had an impatient edge to his voice.

“Well, what are we naming him, then?” She asked, stroking the baby’s little head gently.

“Oliver?” Ben suggested. Annie mulled it over in her head. “Alfred.”

“Alfred?” Annie looked up at her husband.

“Yes. Alfred.”

“Where did that come from?”

“A great English king.” Ben raised one finger in the air. “Classic name.” Another finger. “He’s clearly an Alfie -”

“Alfie.” Annie repeated, a smile lighting up her face. “Our baby Alfie.”

###

Ben and Annie stepped onto the dance floor, holding hands. Their guests clapped, hooted and hollered - all cheering for them as they made their “official” debut as a married couple. The music started blaring through the speakers as Annie and Ben took their place in the middle of the floor and wrapped their arms around one another.

Me and Mrs. Jones; We got a thing goin'on...

They gazed into each other’s eyes, oblivious to the world around them. Joe held Rory in his lap, pointing at her parents and talking animatedly to keep her awake and happy. Gwilym cradled baby Alfie as he slept, gobsmacked by the baby’s ability to fall asleep anywhere, anytime.

We both know that it's wrong; But it's much too strong To let it go now…

Annie chose to wear the same dress she did on her original wedding day, flower crown in her hair. Ben opted for the tux he wore at the Oscars. He pulled her closer and dipped her back. Annie threw her head back and laughed heartily, gracefully kicking one leg up in the air. He picked her up and kissed her as they swayed to the music.

We meet every day at the same cafe Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there; Holding hands, making all kinds of plans While the jukebox plays our favorite songs…

Annie looked over to the side and saw Rory and Joe having a very heated discussion. She beckoned them over with her hands, smiling brightly. Joe asked Rory a question, making her eyes light up. They stood up and he put her down on the floor. She held onto one of his fingers as they walked on the dancefloor. He bowed deeply and made Rory burst in a fit of giggles before he picked her up again and swayed alongside her parents as he sang along to the song.

Me and Mrs. Jones We got a thing goin'on; We both know that it's wrong; But it's much too strong To let it go now...

Ben smiled at the rest of the guests and nodded his head, signaling it was okay to join them in their dance. Couples started flooding the dancefloor within minutes, all swaying and rocking to the smooth R’n’B song Annie and Ben chose for their first dance.

We gotta be extra careful That we don't build our hopes up too high; Because she's got her own obligations And so, and so, do I...

When they discussed their first dance song options, they got into such a fight that they almost called the whole thing off. Annie wanted Best of My Love, Ben wanted Love of My Life. It was actually Rami who suggested the most appropriate song for them -

Me and Mrs. Jones We got a thing goin'on We both know that it's wrong But it's much too strong To let it go now…

His logic behind it was flawless. The song practically described Annie and Ben’s journey through the relationship. How they tried to hide it at first, insisting there’s nothing serious happening. How they came to terms with their relationship status and were so very careful at first. How Rory had happened when caution was thrown to the wind.

Well, it's time for us to be leaving It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine Tomorrow we'll meet The same place, the same time...

How heart wrenching their time apart from one another was. How hopeful they were. Counting down the days until Ben comes back to visit. How, even at their busiest, they always made time for themselves.

Me and Mrs. Jones We got a thing goin'on We both know that it's wrong But it's much too strong To let it go now...

###

“Mummy!” Rory ran over to the sofa with her favorite stuffed animal, followed by a yapping Frankie. “Mummy, Frankie did bad!”

Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds; No, it's not like any other love This one is different, because it's us...

Annie groaned internally and closed her eyes. Alfie was attached to her breast while she fed him, the house was a total chaotic mess, Ben was away at some Cognac launch and all she wanted to do was just scream and run away. She played her favorite album to keep herself happy and sane. There was something about The Smiths that made her feel… normal.

Hand in glove We can go wherever we please; And everything depends upon How near you stand to me...

“Rors, baby, Alfie’s -”

“Frankie did baaaad!” Rory’s voice rose in volume and octave.

“What did she bloody do?!” Annie asked, her patience all but lost.

“Took my Pupper!”

“You’re holding your Pupper and he looks fine.” Annie raised an eyebrow.

“Frankie bad!”

And if the people stare Then the people stare; Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care; Kiss my shades...

“No, Frankie good.” Annie patted the empty cushion next to her, inviting Rory in for a cuddle. “Rory, are you jealous of Alfie and mummy?”

“No.” Rory skulked.

“Rors…”

“Mummy…”

Hand in glove The good people laugh; Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have...

“Tell you what.” Annie whispered. “When daddy gets home, we’ll have a whole day, just for ourselves. No boys allowed.”

“No boys?”

“None.”

Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds; Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have...

The front door opened, making Rory stand up on the sofa expectantly.

“Uncle Joey?” Rory looked at Annie with sparkling eyes. “Uncle Gwilly?”

“Annie?” Ben’s voice boomed from the hall.

And if the people stare Then the people stare; Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care; Kiss my shades...

“Daddy!” Rory shrieked and scrambled off the sofa, doing a bee line for the hallway. “Daddy! Daddy!”

“There’s my girl!” Ben crouched down and let Rory crash into him. He picked her up and tossed her in the air, eliciting overjoyed squeals and shrieks. Her soft blonde curls bounced as she flew up in the hair and landed safely back in his arms. “Where’s Mum?”

So, hand in glove I stake my claim I'll fight to the last breath; If they dare touch a hair on your head I'll fight to the last breath; For the good life is out there somewhere, So stay on my arm, you little charmer...

“In here!” Annie called and winced when Alfie dug his nails into her boob. “Alfie’s eating!”

Ben stood at the doorway to the living room and blinked, gobsmacked. It looked like a tornado had run through, destroying and overturning everything in its’ path.

“Are you okay, Annie?” He asked.

“What? Yes, I’m fine.” Annie frowned. “Why?”

“Because it seems like we had a burglary going on while I was off.” Ben smirked.

“Oh, shove it!” Annie stuck her tongue out at him. “You try taking care of these two little ducks and see how far it gets you with housekeeping.”

“I know.” Ben put Rory down and sauntered over to the sofa, plopping down next to his wife. “I ducking love you. I don’t care about the mess.”

“Mess?” Rory chimed in. “I clean!”

“Oh, now you’ll clean?” Annie scoffed.

“I clean for daddy.” Rory huffed and went about tidying up and putting all her toys away.

“Don’t you never, ever leave me home alone again.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it.”

But I know my luck too well; Yes, I know my luck too well; And I'll probably never see you again; I'll probably never see you again...
