Geological and Paleontological Information

Dawsonoceras annulatum is a genus of straight-shelled nautiloid cephalopods found in Silurian marine strata.

A/N: This is set a year after Broken Bones And A Mended Heart and is set in season 8. And yes I have decided to make a series out of this! 😂

The early sun beamed down through your hotel windows and onto your bare arms with your girlfriend laying down beside you, her arm over your body and your head resting against her neck as you heard light footfalls come into your room and jumping onto your bed, and flopped in between you and JJ, waking the two of you up from your sleep.

“Hey there captain America! you ready for today?!” You asked tiredly but with excitement as you gave Henry a hug.

“Yep! I can’t wait to see all the museums! and also see the London Eye!! Thank you Y/N for taking me and mom here on holiday! I love London so much!” Henry explained excitedly as he tightened the hug, he had been planning everything that you three were going to do in London for the past five weeks.

“Hey Henry why don't you go and grab the room service menu and we can choose what we have for breakfast today?” JJ said trying to convince her son to get off the bed and leave their room so that the two of you could have some time alone together.

“Okay mommy!” Henry said as he jumped off the bed and raced out of the room to look for the room service menu was as couldn't help but laugh at his excitement.

“Good morning beautiful, do you know what day it is today?” JJ asked tiredly as she stared lovingly at you with a huge smile on her face.

“Well today is the one year anniversary of when you broke your arm.” you said teasing her as you laughed at your little joke, as JJ just looked at you shocked out your little joke and laughed at how you pretended to forget what the day is really all about.  

“And today is also day when I first met you!” JJ said chuckling as she pulled you closer and pulled you in for a sweet and passionate kiss only for your kiss to be interrupted by Henry.

“Y/N? can we order a full English breakfast please? I love them so much and you make them so well!” Henry asked sweetly giving you his cute little puppy eyes and trying his best to convince you to order it.

“Okay I’ll ordered it seeing as you asked so nicely and I can’t say no to that adorable face!” You said chuckling as you got of bed and went to grab the hotel phone and order your breakfast whilst Henry went and followed you as JJ lied down there and watched how you kind to Henry and how you were like another mother to him.

“Mommy, Y/N look! The dinosaur is so big!!” Henry shouted in excitement pointing at the skeleton of the dinosaur that was at the inside entrance of the Natural History Museum as you and JJ followed him holding hands and staying close together

“Hey babe do you know what we’re doing tonight?” JJ asked as you headed to the green zone to see the creepy crawlies and the fossils.

“Well I’ve got Emily and her girlfriend to look after Henry for us and the rest is a surprise!” you said teasing your girlfriend as you let go of her hand and ran off to Henry and lifted him up in the air.

“Hey Henry why don't we fly over to the blue zone and see the dinosaurs? and I’ll also by you a toy from the shop there? How does that sound?!” You asked him, as the crowd of people went pass the two of you.

“Yess please! Y/N!!” Henry said his lighting up with excitement when he heard you say those words as you and JJ who had just caught up with the two of you chuckled at his sweet excitement.

You and JJ arrived at The Ledbury and sat at your seats as the waiter served  your drinks which was white wine.

“This restaurant is amazing babe! How did you know about this?” JJ asked in awe as she looked around the restaurant amazed by how it looks.

“Emily and her girlfriend told me about this place and I thought I would take you here for our anniversary!” you said remembering to thank them for all they've done for you and JJ. You both ordered your food, both you and JJ ordered spaghetti Bolognese and for desert you ordered a chocolate soufflé with a raspberry sauce inside that would ooze out when cut.

“The food was amazing! I'm so glad you took me there Y/N!” JJ said as she wrapped herself around your arm as you to walked in the cold January air and hailed for a taxi.

“It was, and also we’re not going back to our hotel room just yet, I have a surprise I want to show you!” You said as the two of jumped into the taxi and told the driver to head to Hyde Park.

“Okay Y/N, honey what are you planning?” JJ asked her eyes covered in a blindfold, worried about what you were going to do.

“You’ll see darling just a little further and we’re here!” You said as you dragged her round the corner and took the blindfold off of her, revealing a picnic table surrounded by fairy lights and basket that sat at the table.

“Y/N! this is amazing! How did you do this?!” JJ asked still in shock and awe of your surprise as you pulled her and sat her down at the picnic table

“Emily and her girlfriend and Henry helped me out, so whilst we were having our dinner they set this all up for us and I know what your thinking we’ve just eaten but my beautiful  sweet girlfriend there is no food in here! open it up and you’ll see what’s inside!” You said as you pushed the basket over to JJ as she opened it up and only to be shocked by what was in there.

“Y/N! you didn't have to! I love all of these!” JJ said in shock and as she opened up each of your surprise presents and only to be met with the last one that was underneath all the over presents, it was wrapped up beautifully and delicately as JJ grabbed the present and opened it up and saw a stunning and elegant diamond necklace which she saw many months ago in a jewellery shop back home.

“How did you get this? When I saw it, it was so expensive?!” JJ asked as you went up to her and put the necklace on for her and have her kiss on the cheek as you sat back down.

“Well I knew you wanted it so I saved up and before went to London I quickly went and bought it” You said explaining your plan to her.

“Thank you so much Y/N! and seeing as we’re giving gifts, I decided to get you one and I know its not much but when you came into my life you made me and Henry so happy and I love you for that and I want to thank you because you fixed my heart Y/N, so I wanted to give you this promise ring” JJ said as she got a velvet box out of her coat pocket and showed you the promise ring, it was a small silver ring with diamonds encrusted on it.

“JJ its beautiful! Thank you so much!” You said as she put the ring on your finger and gave her a warm embrace as you pulled her in for a passionate kiss, cherishing her beautiful soft lips as she kissed you back a kiss which to you guys  lasted a lifetime. It truly was the best anniversary of your lives.
