life as we know it - b.h. chapter 9
this chapter is shit that’s pretty much all i can say i didn’t know what else to write about also let’s pretend that some of it is accurate because the sources online didn’t really help with this. i also did have more roger and brian in this but i didn’t like the way it was written
i also went to a protest in my city so that’s why it’s bad as well because i was focused on other things rather than this, thankfully my friends and i were able to get ourselves and some others out as soon as they started teargassing so if y’all are out protesting as well please stay safe

“she’s never going to walk”
ben and y/n kept encouraging charlie to walk and she wasn’t. every time they tried standing her up, she would either just stand there or fall back down and go back to playing with whatever was within arms reach. now they were sitting in the middle of the room trying to get her to start walking.
“she will. she just needs time. what time did you say we need to be there?” she asked
ben was going to be taking y/n and charlie to the set for the first time since he pretty much bragged about how amazing it looked and told her they needed to see it. ben still hasn’t told the rest of the cast and his new best friends that he pretty much had a daughter now and the whole situation but sort of hinted at it and they were going to figure it out
“charlie still hasn’t even said her first word and she’s almost 1 years old. she gets to be more like christian every single day. she babbles all the time but won’t say an actual word when it comes to it. and he was a lawyer!” he said before crossing his arms like a child defeated
“we need to be there in an hour. is her bag packed?” he finished
“Yeah i’m going to finish getting ready. please don’t pressure her ben.” she told him kissing charlie’s head and leaving
ben tried one more time and stood charlie up and tried to get her to walk by demonstrating the basics of walking
“look ’s not that hard. you put one foot in front of the other and repeat the process” ben told her trying to show her standing up and walking
charlie just stared at him like he was from another planet and ben completely gave up and sighed
“you’re stubborn like your dad” he said picking her up and grabbing her bag
“Y/N HURRY UP WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!”
“I’M COMING!” she yelled back walking back down the stairs
y/n put charlie in her car seat while ben was putting her stroller in the trunk just in case they needed it but brought the baby sling for easier use. the ride to the set was quiet with the occasional noise that came from charlie’s toy or her music playing on the radio. it was only moments before ben spoke up
“when are you going to break up with him?”
“soon. his birthday is in a week and i made reservations for the night. I’ll do it then”
“i just want the best for you just know that”
“i know and i want the same for you”
“are we going to be able to do this” she asked looking at him worried while fidgeting with her fingers
“yeah, i believe in us.” he told her looking back at her
the rest of the ride was quiet until they came onto the set for live aid. ben made sure that everyone knew who y/n and charlie were and that they didn’t get kicked out. he took them to his trailer and told them to wait while he went to the makeup trailer to get ready. she had set up a small place for charlie to play. after a few minutes and a cup of coffee later, someone had entered his trailer. thinking it was ben, she walked up to the door, but stopped dead in her tracks and ended up meeting someone who wasn’t ben.
“hey be- you’re not ben” he asked
“and you’re not ben either”
“i’m joe. it’s nice to meet you.” joe said with his hand out
y/n now recognized him, she’s seen a few of his movies and saw the similarities between his and john deacon
“y/n. and this is charlotte, or charlie. our goddaughter.”
“yeah i’ve heard him talk about you guys. i’m really sorry about what happened”
“thanks it honestly doesn’t feel real when someone really close to dies.” she said looking down at her hands as charlie handed her a toy
“i know the feeling. but they wouldn’t want us to mope around all the time and we have to move on while still honoring them.” joe said giving her a small hug as ben walked in
“oh good you’ve met. but they need us on set” ben said walking in
y/n had to do a double take when she saw him. Dressed exactly like her childhood crush with a few differences. she had seen the photos of him from the costume fittings before they started filming and it sometimes made her feel some type of way. ben saw her staring and decided to tease her
“so do i look good?” he said as he turned around
“oh yeah, i would definitely date someone who’s 51 years older than me” she said sarcastically as she picked charlie up and a few of her things so they can leave
as they were walking, she marveled at everything around them. she knew that movie and tv sets were quite large sometimes and filled with people running around to make sure everything was perfect, but seeing it first hand was unbelievable.
they were standing on the stage where they would be filming as roger was giving ben more tips on how to play the drums. she didn’t really believe that two people from her favorite band were in her presence. Engaging in another conversation with joe, she put charlie down and held her hands above her hand. charlie stood in front of her legs when she let go of her hands and tried to take a step. she looked down to see her taking her first steps and needed to get ben’s attention without interrupting him talking to roger by waving her hands around
“So, is that your girlfriend and daughter?” roger asked
“no-no she isn’t. the baby.” ben tried to stutter out but couldn’t before taking a deep breath
“y/n isn’t my girlfriend and charlie is our goddaughter. her parents died earlier in the year and we were named guardians.”
“you do like her though, correct? she seems like a very nice girl.”
“i do like her-” ben started while staring at her before seeing that charlie was starting to walk
when he noticed it, he started to yell her name by yelling after apologizing to roger and jogging over to where her and joe were
“Sorry roger but Y/N? Y/N! SHE’S WALKING!” ben yelled getting everyone’s attention to see him almost tripping over the wires around him
as ben got to them, everyone started to cheer even though they had no idea what was happening. He picked her up and spun her around while giving kisses all over her face
“you did it! you finally walked! maybe you’re not as stubborn as your father!” he said
“i’m so proud of her. i told you she needs time and not to pressure her.” she told him as she took charlie from him
“Okay! Everyone in their places? we’re getting set to film” the director yelled out
y/n quickly went off the stage and to the side. she stood and watched them film and watched in awe. she saw the way rami was moving as freddie, gwilym playing as brian, joe dancing like john, and ben playing as roger. she couldn’t stop looking at ben. the way he was keeping focused even though half of it was playback and mumbling along to the beats even if they weren’t exactly playing.
she was snapped back into reality moments later when charlie hit her face and grabbed her hair, thankfully they weren’t filming when she gave out a small yelp.
“okay i think it’s time for your nap.”
the day went on until they couldn’t film no more due to it getting late and no more sun was shining. when ben walked back into his trailer, he found her and charlie sleeping peacefully on the couch. he took a moment to admire the way she was sleeping and how she slept. whenever she slept in a small space she was always clutching something tight to her, but she wasn’t with charlie in case it was too tight. she felt someone staring at her and slowly started to open her eyes to find ben back into his regular clothes and no wig
“take a picture, it’ll last longer. creep.”
ben could only laugh while she slowly sat up and made sure she didn’t wake the baby up. ben went over to crouched down to where he was her level.
“it’s late, we should go. did you guys eat something?” he asked
“yeah, wasn’t that hungry so i just had one of the snacks i packed and she actually ate her food. how did filming go? you seemed pretty into it and it looked good.”
“did the scene look good or did i look good?” he asked smirking
“you think playing a rockstar wouldn’t get to your ego but it did. never you knew you would become this cocky.”
“well i thought you’d like it.”
“uh huh. yeah sure. keep dreaming”
“i will” he winked at her causing her to bow her head down to hide the redness from her face
“oh by the way, the guys and lucy are going to be coming over for dinner this weekend. hope that’s alright with you.” he finished
“yeah that’s fine. we also need to figure out something for charlie’s birthday. she’s turning 1 soon. we could invite the neighbors, jack and melissa are going to be coming over. it’s been a while since we’ve seen them. the guys and lucy can come over if they’re not busy as well.”
“yeah. i really wish they were here to see and celebrate. but we can do this.” he told her, taking one of his hands off the wheel and grabbing hers, rubbing his thumb across the area.
the next few days went by quickly as ben continued to film and practice while y/n went to work leaving charlie with a babysitter a few times. the dinner that they were going to host for the cast was stressing her out due to meeting new people and not knowing what to cook after searching millions of recipes. charlie was walking around more often and at one point y/n had to scold ben for walking around just in his underwear drinking beer with charlie doing the same in her diaper and her bottle.
as ben was finishing getting ready, y/n was making sure every little thing was perfect. she didn’t know why she was anxious about meeting everyone again when she had already met them. she guessed it was because it was going to be a more formal meeting rather than a quick hello and off to filming. she nearly dropped the dishes when she heard the doorbell ring while ben went and opened it.
he guided everyone to the room and did all the introductions. y/n got out glasses and began to pour everyone a glass. as they all sat down, they began talking and making jokes about how filming was going.
“ok, so you mean to tell me, that you told ben that roger actually wanted him to play live and literally scared him thinking he was going to mess up?” she asked
“yeah, he looked like he was about to shit himself when i told him that.” rami told her
“oh my god, i would’ve paid so much money just to see that” she giggled
“alright, alright, what else would you do if someone told you to do something that you didn’t know if you were prepared for?” ben asked before realizing what he said
everyone’s laughter soon died down and ben immediately regretted what he said. gwilym then cleared his throat and asked y/n a question
“so, y/n, how long have you been living here in london?”
“i’ve been living here for about 6 years now. i honestly love it if i’m being honest but there are times where i do miss my family.” she told them taking sip of her drink
“you own the bakery Eats ‘n’ Treats? Right?” lucy asked
“Yeah i do”
“i thought i recognized you. i love your pies from there, they're really delicious. what do you put in them?”
“i sometimes put just half a teaspoon in them and some of the recipes are actually from my friend tyler and he won’t tell me what he does sometimes.”
“interesting.”
“well, all i can say is thank you for having us, thank god for a new group of friends and thank god for queen.” joe said raising his glass
Everyone clinked glasses and continued the night getting to know one another more and eating dinner. lucy and her made arrangements to go shopping when she was done filming her scenes, y/n learned about the bromances ben has with gwilym and joe and thought it was funny. she got to learn about rami more as a person as they talked throughout the night. the rest of the night concluded with ben and y/n cleaning up the dishes. it was quiet between the two besides when they had to talk during dinner. it’s not like ben meant to word his response like that it’s just that sometimes people don’t know how to react to it. they both felt like they were at fault at it. she washed the last dish as ben dried and put it away, but before she could leave, ben quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his chest. she wrapped her arms around his body and put her head on his chest as he did the same and put his chin on her head. they stood like that before ben pulled away and took out his phone and began to play soft music and took her hands and began to spin her
“what are you doing?” she asked him confused following his lead
“we are dancing.”
“i can’t dance.”
“neither can i, but it’s quiet and we’re alone. so, no one can know how bad of dancers we are. now, take my hands and we can try.”
they continued to dance and as ben spun her, he pulled her back into his chest where she can feel his heart beating softly
“i’m sorry.” she said
“for what? you didn’t say anything that you need to be sorry for.”
“no, i did. ever since we met, i always thought of you as this playboy who never gave a shit about anything, well besides family and friends, but anything fame and fortune related. then whenever i see you with charlie, i regret everything i have ever said.”
ben didn’t know what to say but he knew she meant it and regretted it. he felt the same in a way. when he met y/n for the first time he really thought he could just get her into bed but over the past year he’s got to know her as a person.
“it’s alright. i understand and yeah it does seem like that way when you’re famous but that’s what the media wants to see all the time. if i’m being honest i don’t like it all the time and this past year and the last several months have really changed me. i want to make it up to you. after you break up with sean. we go on a date. a real one. i’ll try and find a day where i’m not filming all day and we’ll go.”
“i think i like that.”
“you know i haven’t danced since their wedding?” ben told her
“are you joking? i refuse to believe that. i know you had to bust out your moves sometimes between then and now jones.” she told him looking up at him smiling
“okay, i haven’t danced sober since their wedding. what about you?” he asked with a grin on his face
“i dance when i clean. and sometimes when i’m in the shower because why not?”
“wouldn’t you hurt yourself?” ben asked his with a confused look on his face
“yes and no. i did accidentally cut myself while shaving my leg, but other than that i haven’t since i learned my lesson.” she said as they both laughed continuing to sway back and forth
during the same time, they began to gaze at each other's lips and back to the other’s eyes before leaning in as both their hearts started skipping beats. when they kissed, words were no longer needed for each other. it was neither full of lust or flirtatious like the first time they kissed. his teeth began tugging on her lower lip with their lips then disconnecting. their foreheads stayed connected as they both breathed heavily. she could smell the mix of his cologne and the cigarette he smoked a couple of hours before still on him as she put her head on his chest.
they stayed in the kitchen for a little longer until they heard charlie start whimpering over the baby monitor. they were confused as to why she started to cry seeing that she hasn’t been crying that often and usually only when they try to get her to eat her. she was about to go up when ben stopped her and went up himself.
“i’ll go, you’ve been taking care of her so much of her already.” he told her kissing her forehead
y/n stayed back and decided to scroll through her phone until she heard something over the monitor: ben singing. Slowly walking up the stairs, trying not to make noise, she creeped in the bedroom to see ben holding her and singing radio gaga by queen and rocking her as frankie slept by his feet near the rocking chair
“are you singing queen?” she softly giggled while leaning against the door frame and crossing her arms
“what? everyone likes queen.” ben said with a shrug
“okay well i’m going to go to bed.” she told him
“night.” he tells her after putting charlie back in her crib
in the time of leaving, she was about to leave with ben following her before she turned around and gave him one more kiss
“Night.” she smirked
ben gave out small breathy laugh as he left the room turning the light off and closing the door halfway
“she’s going to kill me one day.”
