 The night Ben had worked hard for finally arrived; his first big concert as a solo artist. No more hiding behind a drum kit, hoping it was him in the spotlight. And he really couldn't have achieved it without Meredith and her neverending love and support. 

The one thing he hadn't told her was that tonight he'll perform the special song he wrote during their time apart. It'll no doubt be a meaningful moment for both of them, emotional too. With one more kiss on Meredith's lips he climbed up onto the stage to the welcoming screams of his fans.

"You dream about me often?" Meredith said, somehow surprised to hear that though she shouldn't be. Considering they spent so much time together. But she smiled sheepishly. "I guess we really should get back to the wedding. We've been so busy with work we don't even have a date yet."

[singingdrummer]

"Sometimes. Not all of them are clean," Ben chuckled sheepishly. He never had any problems with admitting he had fantasies about her. "How do you feel about Spring? Or if we're feeling spontaneous, we could do it this summer."

[highfidelity]

"I don't care when we do it, just whatever gives us enough time to put it together. I don't even know what you want." Meredith chuckled. "Just please can we do something that doesn't have our whole wedding party showing up in jeans and T-shirts."

[singingdrummer]

"Something fun. People will dress nicely, I promise." Ben chuckled. He'd tell his friends to go out and rent suits if they don't own one already. Meredith deserved a beautiful wedding. "I've got a few ideas for my outfit. As for everything else, I'm a simple man but I want you to have anything you want." He cupped her cheek, smiling at her.

"Well, it doesn't have to be a big deal. Just something nice." She blushed shyly thinking about it. "I mean, this is a big, important day for us. Hopefully it's something we'll never do again. And knowing how famous you are now, we can't say it won't end up in the papers."

[singingdrummer]

"Something nice," Ben promised. "There are a bunch of nice wedding dress shops here." She was right in saying the media might follow their wedding closely. "We'll find a way to prevent it from turning into a media circus."

"I don't need anything too posh. I'm only going to be wearing this once. Maybe twice," Meredith replied. As they finally arrived home she unlocked the door and held it for her fiance, turning on the lights. "We have to fit it into your touring schedule too. There's a lot we haven't even discussed yet."

She sighed as she slipped off her shoes and let her hair down. "I am starving. Are you hungry?"

[singingdrummer]

"Home sweet home," Ben sighed as he took a seat. He admired his fiancée for a moment, smiling at her. "I'm starving, too. Should we order in, or cook? It'll be easier discussing wedding details with full tummies."

[highfidelity]

“What are you, ten?” Meredith laughed at his choice of words. “It depends on what you want. It’s your big night. I can cook if you want.”

[singingdrummer]

Ben laughed too, realizing he really sounded like a little kid. "Sometimes I'm not so sure. But it's true nonetheless." He thought about it for a moment. "How about what we ate on our first night living together? It'd be a nice trip down memory lane."

[highfidelity]

“I’ll call the Chinese place.” She laughed softly. “You’re so cute.@

[singingdrummer]

"Brilliant." He watched as she called the place, smiling to himself. The memories from their first night living together came back vividly.

[highfidelity]

She smiled at him before she went to make the phone call and order their usual from the Chinese place a few minutes away. It was what they'd ended up ordering after most of the pot roast had gone ignored by the sheer shock of him showing up on her doorstep when she'd thought she'd never see him again.

"It'll be here in like 20 minutes," she called. "I'm going to go shower and get changed. Do you mind?"

Of course, Ben was also liable to join her in the shower, as cheeky as he could often get.

[singingdrummer]

"I don't mind at all, love."

There'd be a trip down memory lane while they ate. Ben had no regrets about coming back to fight for their relationship, and he's glad Meredith gave him another chance.

He didn't hesitate for a second to join her, grinning as he hugged her waist from behind.

Meredith laughed softly when she heard him come in behind her. It really wasn't a surprise. She finished cleaning up and moved so he could get under the water.

"I'm proud of you," she reminded him, getting his back for him. "Tonight was huge for you. You've worked long and hard to get here."
