Remember Us, Remember Me.
"David?" Mary Margaret called out, the sound of the wind whirling around her was making her voice incomparsion sound as she was whispering. the trees were swaying gently and the leaves across the forest floor were being brushed into piles when they collided with one and other.
She knew where they said they would finally meet. at the Toll bridge. as they did the last time they saw each other. David had finally left his wife, telling her he didn't love her anymore and wanted her to move on. His wife, Katherine agreed with his decision and only made his statement easier by accepting the position in Florida for a promotion with her company. David had no clue if Mary would actually turn up, he couldn't confirm anything to her nor get her responses but only prayed she'd be there. so he could tell her what he done, that he finally left her and would always remain completely her's.
As he approached the old wooden landmark, he searched around for her presence. the wind was gaining speed and the tree's were only acting to its advantage. he made his way up towards the bridge, balancing his body mass onto the planks that looked stable to gain a better view of the surrounding area. He used his hands to shield the wind from his eyes as he searched within the small area of woodland he could focus upon. In the distance he noticed a small petite figure struggling against the storm that was blowing over. It must have been his Mary Margaret.
He jumped down from the wooden remains, and ran towards where he believed he saw Mary. He couldn't help but fight against the wind, the rain clouds that were drifting over were now fully flooding out, and the floor that used to be solid mud was now becoming like a scene in an action movie as it turned into water. He shouted her name loudly and saw her look at him, a smile across her face as was his.
"David" She shouted towards him. She made her way across the muddy terrain and found him. They stood only inches apart, being able to feel the warmth that was being produced from the other person's body. "Mary Margaret" he latched onto her hands, gently pulling her into an sheltered part of the forest as the wind and rain was beginning to turn into an storm they did not want to be in for much longer. "This way" he mouthed her, and she nodded eagerly following him to safety.
They managed to find an open free trunk that had been used as an children's den and David carefully allowed Mary into his arms as they crouched down into the dryness of the trunk. "We're stay here til the rain calms down" David suggested. He poked his head slightly out in the forest and saw the rain was still coming down heavily and the floor still remained like a river emerging.
David saw out of the corner of his eyes, that Mary Margaret was shaking, her skin was icy cold and the small hairs on her arms were easily identified. "Come here" he pulled her into his chest, rubbing his hand up and down her arm to bring her some comfort and warmth back into her body. Typical of her to only wear a cardigan and a long skirt as she usually did. "Thank you" she smiled shyly. She had never found herself in a situation like this before him, they had been intimate and close before but never like this and never in such a romantic surrounding as they were.
"I came here today" David began his long and much prepared speech towards her, he did want to wait til it was more romantic and everything was the most part his only definition of what she'd want, but now felt like a good time. They were stuck together and if she didn't want to hear she couldn't easily walk away, not with the storm outside of the tree trunk that was progressing. "David" she interrupted him with a small sigh.
"Please let me finish, then you can have your peace?" she nodded and looked towards him to listen to his words, hoping that he would say something that would make her instantly just want to move closer and kiss him.
"Mary Margaret, I don't know what I did before I met you, I have all these memories which just feel false, except from the memories that exist with you in. I don't know how to explain, but the only memories that feel real are yours. Your smile is so perfect and your love is what keeps me going. When I didn't know who I was it was you that kept me going, no one else, you" he paused to hold onto her hands, feeling the slight shake in her body as the cold once again crept into her.
"David I..." He once again stopped her to carry on. "Please believe me when I tell you, I told Katherine everything, and she is fine with us, she's moving on and wants the same for us. She doesn't see the point in hating on us, we can do this, we can be the couple we want" He smiled at her, he only saw a small frown in response, he knew she wasn't feeling the same. that feeling he was dreading was creeping back into his stomach. What if she didn't want him anymore.
"David, can I please speak?" Mary giggled slightly, wondering if she would finally be allowed to make an comment. She loved him, she'd always loved him, something she'd never understand but knew she'd never regret feeling either.
"I want this, I want us, I want to be able to down the street and hold your hand and not feel guilty anymore, I want us to be able to go out for dinner and eat breakfast at my kitchen table, and to hear Emma's disapproving comments i want all of this, but before you say you want it too you have to understand one condition.." she took a deep breath and paused as she waited for him to nod towards her to carry on.
"You have to accept that I am having your baby, and that I don't want to get rid of it"
