Life is good

I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to me. "You make me, happy, baby. You're the sunshine in my life." Without her, my world was darkness and wasn't bearable to live in. But with her, I could breathe, I could smile, I could laugh. Everything was so much better with her and that was how it was supposed to be. I knew no one would ever take her place in my life or in my heart.

I wrapped my arms around his waist, snuggling my face in his neck, kissing softly. "Always got such a way with words, huh?" I said, smiling to myself before pulling back when the waitress came up. "Can I get a chocolate milkshake.. and a glass of ice water please." She turned to Jackson to get his order, staring at us, clearly confused. I knew she was wondering why we were here together so close.. if she had any clue who we were..

I kept my arm around Abigail as I looked up at the waitress. "I'll have a cup of coffee for right now. Black. And then with my meal, I want a tall glass of milk." She nodded and asked if we were ready to order our meals. I looked down at Abigail and then back up at the waitress. "Give us a few minutes, won't you?" She nodded, looking us over once more and then leaving. Turning back to Abigail, I arched an eyebrow at her. "I think we're going to start a scandal. Everyone thinks we're broken up..." I smirked brightly. "Let's really give them something to talk about. Make out with me. Right here. Right now." I know she said she wanted to not have sex until we got married again... why, I really didn't understand, even if she did tell me, but I still couldn't understand why. But hopefully that didn't cut off ALL physical acts of love.

"I will do no such thing.." I told him, slapping his chest playfully. "I'm not giving nobody a show.." I said, shaking my head, smiling slightly. "You'd like that too much and my luck we'd end up in the bathroom like at McDonalds.."

I remembered that day. I had been so scared, having to rush her to the hospital. I thought something was seriously wrong. I didn't want to do that again. I didn't want to go through that again. It was too scary the first time. I loved Abigail more than anything in this world, and I couldn't even bare to have that happen again. I knew that the chances weren't that high, but she was farther along and she was still supposed to be taking it easy, and I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her just because I had to have my cock buried deep inside her. "I wouldn't do that," I told her. I was sure she'd sense my change in mood, but I couldn't help it. Losing Abigail or her being hurt or something bad happening to her was not something I could handle. Especially not when I'd just gotten her back. "I love you, Abigail," I said, leaning over and kissing each of her hands, letting my head rest there for a moment. "Always and forever."

I could tell his attitude changed, causing me to frown slightly. "Did I upset you?" I asked, thanking the waitress as she set our drinks down. "I didn't mean too.. I'm sorry.." I hugged him, letting my head rest on his shoulder. "Always and forever."

I kissed the top of her head holding her closer to me. "I'm fine," I told her, taking a long deep breath. "I don't ever want to lose you, Abigail. You don't know how scared I was that day at McDonald's and everything that we've been through since then..." I let go of the breath heavily. "I never want to lose you, baby. I couldn't."

I closed my eyes, hugging him tightly, resting against his side as he held me. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, only because we had come close.. to losing each other. It took a death to show us how precious life was. How much we needed each other.. no.. how much I needed him. He never gave up on me. "I'm not going anywhere." I promised, burying my face in his chest, sniffling. "I promise. This is where I belong. Where our children belong. Right here with you."

I rested my head against the top of hers. She made me feel calmer than anyone ever could. I was just on the brink of feeling horrible, but with just a few words and her closeness, I was back to feeling good. Kissing the top of her head, I breathed her into me, smiling brightly. "I love you, baby." Shaking my head slightly, I told her softly. "There's no place else I want any of us than together as the family we were meant to be. Ever."

I looked up at him, smiling. "I agree." I kissed his lips gently, pulling back slowly, brushing my face dry of the few tears I let fall and grabbed my milkshake. "Wanna sip?" I asked, knowing the answer full well.

I narrowed my eyes in on her and then on the chocolatey cup she was holding up in front of me. "Seriously?" I laughed, shrugging my shoulders. "Sure, why not!" She knew I wasn't one for sweets, but once in a blue moon, what's it gonna hurt? I leaned forward and took a sip of her overly sweet chocolate shake and swallowed it down. Shaking my head to shake off the sweetness, I looked down at her. "Betcha didn't think I would do that?" I laughed slightly, pulling her into a hug and kissing the side of her head.

I looked down at the cup and up at Jackson for quickly, back and forth for a second, smiling. "I'm very surprised. I'd even say shocked. I didn't expect that at all!" I giggled, taking a sip of my drink. "Did you like it?" I gasped, looking down at my stomach as I put my hand against it. "Goodness, Audrey, we know you're here... she's kicking so hard." I said, laughing.

I laughed, placing my hand on her stomach, rubbing it softly. "I'm sure my princess is enjoying it more than I am," I said, leaning over and pressing my lips to the top of her round stomach. "Hey there, Princess. Are you enjoying Momma's shake?" I rubbed Abigail's stomach again, looking up at her. "She's not hurting you, is she, when she kicks this hard?" I laughed, feeling another hard one against Abby's stomach and I looked back down at her stomach. "Take it easy on your momma, baby girl."

"Nope, I mean it's starling.. to have someone kicking you from the inside.. but nope, doesn't hurt." I smiled, kissing the top of his head as he leaned toward my stomach. I loved when he talked to our children, when he was near them, it made me love him more. The waitress came back, asking if we knew what we wanted to eat. "A cheese burger and fries please." Okay, so maybe it was a tad bit early but I was starving and craving that and what baby wanted baby got. She took Jackson's order and left. However, I could tell someone was staring, which meant we weren't alone anymore. Sure enough a man at the counter was angling his phone toward his and watching us. "I think that man is taking our picture." I said, trying to turn my head away.

I took her face in my hand, turning it back to face me. "We don't have anything to hide, baby. We're happy and back together. Let the fucker watch." I slid my hand back around the back of her head, lacing my fingers through her hair. I pulled her head closer to mine and pressed my lips against hers, kissing her deeply. I wrapped my other arm around her, holding her against my side as I deepened the kiss. I wanted the world to know that we were back together. I wanted the world to know how much I loved my wife.

"Wait," I said, pulling back, my cheeks flushed. "I.. love you.. but.. I can't.. do that, not here." I wiped my mouth, turning to my shake. "Just behave yourself." I said, giving him a sly smile.

I held up my hands, confused, and shaking my head. "What? You can't KISS me here?" I leaned back. "I this part of the not having sex before we get married again? You can't kiss me in public?" I didn't get it. Why didn't she want the world to know we were back together. I wanted to scream it from the top of the Hollywood sign 'Abigail and me are back together and she's going to remarry me!!!' I seriously would do it too, and here she was, not even wanting to KISS me in public...

"No, that's not it. I just don't want people gawking at me, and making money off MY happiness." I said, thumbing the fork in front of me. "You're giving them the show they want. I don't want them to have it. I want me and you to have OUR lives be private. They shouldn't know anything. It's not about the getting married stuff... I just don't want the world dirtying up our names, or our love with sneaky pictures and lies I'm sure they'll write. Don't you remember this all started because of the press?" I asked, looking at him as I took a sip of shake.

I let go of a heavy sigh, picking up my coffee and inhaling over the brim of it. "Fine. I'm sorry." Yeah, but I was looking at this situation from a completely different perspective than she was. There was a difference between them taking pictures of us and them taking pictures of her and the Goomba. I didn't like it, but if that was what she wanted, that's what she got.

"It's fine.." I sighed heavily, smiling at the waitress when she set our food down. I watched her walk away before unfolding my napkin, setting it on my lap and picking up a fry. I took a bite, chewing slowly. I guess he didn't get where I was coming from, even if he said sorry, his attitude changed, so, I guess there wasn't much to say.

"So," I said, my segue to changing the subject, "When did you want to get married?" I turned to look at her, even as I was stirring around my eggs into my hashbrowns. "How long do you think it will take to plan everything. I'm serious. I'm going all out on this. Whatever you want, you get!"

I looked over at him, my smile getting more full. "I'm not sure.. I mean.. I don't need some big fancy wedding. I'm fine with whatever we can come up with, together. Because this isn't just my wedding. It's yours too. What about in Hawaii?" I shrugged, biting my fry.

My ears perked up and my eyes widened. "Hawaii is perfect!" I dropped my fork on my plate, turning to her. "We can go to one of the very secluded islands, like one of the very small ones, that are just for people who want to get away from everything. Have the ceremony on the beach, and then I'd take you to our honeymoon spot, right there on the beach. It will be perfect! What do you think?"

I smiled brightly, nuzzling his neck as I hugged him. "I love that idea." I looked up at him. "I think it will be the best wedding we've had so far.. since you know we have so many!" I giggled, grabbing a fry and biting into it.

I picked up my milk, silently toasting her with it. "Baby, this will be our last wedding and it will last forever." I leaned over, kissing the side of her head. "We're going to have the happily ever after your princess heart has always dreamed of." I took a drink of my milk and set it down, picking up my fork again. "Who would you like there with us? The whole family? Friends? Or just us?"
