"Come to bed."

Bill quickly closed the bedroom door, undressed and got in bed. He kissed Matty gently and lay on his back.

He was asleep in seconds.

Matty kissed his cheek and lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. A couple minutes later, she was asleep as well.

Bill could hear voices when he awoke. He looked at the digital clock on the nightstand.

"Wow. Four o'clock."

He got up and put on a pair of sleep pants and a t-shirt.

As he opened the door, he heard Nanny Dove.

"'e bes a wonderful young man, Matty. I bes so happy fer youse."

"I am so happy, Nanny Dove and I love him so much."

"I hope you are talking about me," Bill commented, as he walked into the living room.

Matty jumped up and ran to Bill, kissing him passionately on the lips.

"Actually we were talking about Freddy Simpson."

She kissed Bill again.

"You want a coffee?"

"Yea. I should have one."

"You go talk to Nanny Dove and I will get you one."

"Morning Nanny," Bill smiled, as he lit a cigarette.

"Youse knows Ise don't likes youse smokin' in me 'ouse."

Bill sat on the couch.

"Youse knows dat Ise don't cares and dis not be your 'ouse anymore, old lady."

Nanny Dove grunted.

"Ise don't knows whats my gran'daughter see in youse."

Matty walked in with a coffee and passed it to Bill, kissing him again.

"I see my husband," Matty smiled.

She sat next to Bill on the couch.

Nanny Dove laughed.

"Yes, me dear. A 'usband dat feeds yer 'gagement ring to a seagull."

Jarge let out a moan and covered his head with his wings.

Nanny Dove looked at Jarge.

"Ise 'ave made a seagull stew out of 'e, ifin it 'ad been my ring."

Jarge moaned again.

Nanny Dove laughed.

"I swears, me son. Dat crazy gull knows everything wes says."

Matty agreed.

"I believe he does."

She took Bill's hand in hers.
