Ben and Allys one year aniversary.

Ben was sleeping peacefully besides you. Today was your one year aniversary and all you wanted to do was be with Ben but he was asleep. "Ben..." you tapped his shoulder "Ben wake up" you tapped his shoulder aggresively. The only thing you could think to say now was "Ben I'm pregnant."

He immediately shot up. "You're what?!" he said, all the color leaving his face. "I was kidding. Happy one year aniversary." you said with a giggle. "Oh my god Al. You almost gave me a heart attack." he said, putting a hand over his heart which was beating fast. "Sorry!" you said with puppy dog eyes. He smiled and said "It's okay. Happy aniversary." You kissed him softly, cupping his face with your hands. "I have a gig at 54 below tonight. I was thinking about singing 'Ballerina' and I want you to come." he said, his hands on your waist. "I wouldn't miss it for the world Ben." you said with a smile. He smiled and said "Good because I can't do it without you there Al." You giggled and said "aw you're cute. Wait isn't 54 Below kind of fancy?" "Kind of, why?" he said. "I'm gonna need a dress then."

"I'll go shopping with you since I know you hate shopping alone." he said. New York was very cold this time of year. There was snow everywhere and Christmas decorations, basically everything was magical this time of year. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." you said. The two of you were bundled up together in warm blankets. "You're welcome." he said with a smile. You got out of bed and said "I'm gonna go make coffee."

He chuckled and said "I'm going with you." Ben followed you into the kitchen. You put some water in the coffee pot and slipped a coffee filter in. "Hey Ben can you get some mugs?" you asked as the coffee was brewing. "Yeah." he said while getting some mugs. "Breakfast?" he asked.

"I'm not hungry yet." you said while staring out the window. "Hmm what are you looking at babe?" Ben said while sitting next to you. "Just the city. It's always so beautiful this time of year." you said while opening the window a little bit. "Yeah I guess so. It's not as beautiful as you though." he said while kissing your cheek.

"Coffees done" he said while walking towards the kitchen. He poured some coffee for you and some for him before coming back over to you. "Close the window it's cold outside." he said while sitting at the window sill with you. "No I like it cold." you said. "Well I'm getting blankets because I'm freezing." he said while getting up.

You smiled and said "Okay babe." He walked to the bedroom and came back with one of your blankets. He sat down next to you and wrapped the blanket around you. "I love New York" you whispered under your breath. "I love it too" Ben whispered. "Why are you whispering?" you whispered. "Because you're whispering." he responded. You smiled and said "That's cute." in a normal voice.

"Thanks I try" he said jokingly. "Well you don't have to try hard you're naturaly cute." you said.
