ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Kathy Pov

“What did I ever do to deserve you and our little ones? This is too much, I couldn’t have done anything to deserve this much joy and happiness,”

Cross, let out. we were in our baby’s nursery putting the twin to bed, exactly two months after their birth, they were healthy and growing so beautifully.

“You deserve it all My love, even if you think you don’t, you do,”

“God, I am so blessed,”

“We too,”

“I love you, My baby,”

“I love you more, now shush, we need to get these little ones to sleep I want their dad all to myself until they wake up,”

These passed two months have been both fun and hectic, for a kid it would be hard but there were two of them, I wonder just how Anna could take caring for two kids, sometimes it gets do overwhelming, sometimes it will be so easy but most time it not, thank God I had more help and so did Anna, if not I don’t think we could have done it on our own, Anna gave me lots of lessons, my mother inlaw, sisters and mother did too, they all had experience, I had so many people to help me but still hubby and I didn’t get any alone time during these two months, the time we get, we end up just fallen asleep, that’s why I planned on us going out to night, just the two of us, I was able to talk to my mother inlaw and my mom and got them to babysit for the night while my husband and I go out and they both happily agreed, my relationship with my mom got even better during my pregnancy, I understood her more and knew she might not show it but she loved me so dearly and wants me to have the best only, which I got, yes, I got everything thanks to her.

“Hmm, that sounds nice, but they will wake up sooner than we think, I don’t think we are getting that alone time soon,”

“Of course we are, we are going out, I got our moms to keep the babies company while we go out, they are watching them for the night, I want you all to myself tonight,” oh, they are here,”

I said running out to hug both of my moms, yeah, it felt super nice having two very supportive moms, Ellen was rubbing off on my mom so much that she had changed from her cold demo to a cheery woman, my dad even said that’s how she had been when they newly got married but trying to make sure our family doesn’t go bankrupt and stuff had hardened her I understood that now and love her even more.

“Mom, mom, thank you, I and my husband will leave now,”

I said dragging Cross who was complaining that he wants to change his clothes out, not like we were going to be needing those clothes.

“Alright, dear have fun,”

My mom said.

“And make more babies,”

My mother-in-law added, Cross and I both shouted not now as I dragged him away.

“Where are we going to?”

Cross asked as we got into the car, I told him I was driving and he had reluctantly agreed.

“You will see when we get there.

It took us about fifteen minutes to arrive at our destination.

“We are here,”

I said to my husband who had his eyes closed, he opened them starting at me.

“Wow, I thought we were going on a date or something, this isn’t a date?”

“It is you moron, don’t you remember?”

“I don’t, would my love remind me?”

“Sure, this used to be Kennedy’s pool house, remember? We were at a party here, the police cane and you dragged me away from here,”

I reminded him, I picked this place because it had some kind of memory for us, when I found out they now used the pool house as a sort of vacation home, I decided it would be the best place to spend the night.

“I remember,”

“Now, get off the car and stop sucking,”

“I am not,”

“Yes, you are,”

I said and got off the car, he followed behind me, I smiled knowing his face would light up once we get inside, I made sure of it, the inside was decorated with flowers and scented candlelights the kind my mother in law did for our wedding night and it did, once I opened the door and he stepped in his whole sucking ended, he mouthed a wow.

“You like it?”

“Yes, when did you plan all these?”

He asked pulling me in and backing me against the door.

“Last week, we barely have time for each, and I wanted you to myself least for tonight.”

I said placing my hands on his chest and moving them around his body in a seductive way.

“Aha, very thoughtful,”

He said as his lips captured mine, I melted into his touch, he carried me up and into the room I prepared, well let’s just say we didn’t get to sleep until way past midnight.

“You know, back then when I saw you here, talking with that idiot, forgotten his name, he was touching you so inappropriately, I almost wanted to give him a good beating, then the police showed up and I haven’t met him again.”

He said as we paid in bed in the early hours of the next morning, I couldn’t remember who he was talking about because I didn’t know most of the people at the party that day.

“I never knew that,”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Yeah, you don’t know a lot of things,”

He replied.

“Like what?”

“Don’t worry about it, some things are better left in the past,”

“Okay, Cross, speak up, I wanna hear it,”

I said sitting up and folding my hands.

“Really?”

“Yes,”

“Fine, I liked you a lot back then but you were so young I felt stupid and like a perv,”

“What? Really? That’s a lie, you barely even spoke to me and each time our part crossed you always frown at me, ignore me and act like I am a stain or something,”

I responded, there is no way he liked me, that would be confirming what that crazy lady who in fact got sentencing she deserved said. Yup, she was sentenced to fifty years or so in prison, Dylan too but he got lighter sentencing because he turned himself in, okay that’s not what’s on the ground.

“It’s not babe, I liked you but you were young and I had a girlfriend but that didn’t stop me so I did what I could to stop those feelings if I knew you were mine from the beginning I would have not let you be,”

“What would you have done? I was just thirteen,”

“I know, I wouldn’t have done anything horrible, maybe stake a claim, make sure everyone knows you are mine,”

He replied, I liked the thought of that and wished that happened, it would have been heavenly or maybe not, everything happens for a reason so maybe this was the best way.

“I am yours now,”

“Yes, you are and I am going to hold onto you forever,”

“Of course, that has always been the plan,”

“I love you, forever, Mrs. Katherine Salvador,”

“I love you more, my husband, my everything,”

He opened his arms and I got in without hesitating, loving how perfect my life is now and knowing it would be like this for a long, long, time.

The End
