Always In My Arms
As Zack walked through the door of his and Kelly's apartment he had to smile to himself when he thought of Kelly. Kelly the girl of his dreams. Speaking of Kelly he could hear her singing along to the radio. They had been married for four years now and he still loved how she sang. He set down his briefcase and walked as quietly as he could into the doorframe of the kitchen. A large grin spread across his face the second he saw her. For some reason Zack hadn't been able to stop thinking about her today day. He wasn't sure if he was able to talk to his beloved wife Kelly yet but was still considering it as he saw her sing and dance. Kelly was testing a piece of pasta when she yelped in pain when she stuck it in her mouth, quickly spitting it out. Zack took this as his cue. He walked over to her with Kelly's back to him, he reached out and softly touched her hip with one hand and with his other her butt. Instantly she spun around and giggled. "Zack! Don't do that when I'm standing next to the stove!" "Ok well then I'll just have to change that." He picked her up very gently and moved her onto the counter. She smiled and deeply kissed him. As she pulled away he moaned and said "Kelly don't leave me, I need you!" "Zack you big baby, I'm right hear!" Zack smiled on the inside when she said "baby". "I know but I always like it when your REALY close!" he answered. They kissed again until Zack was the one that pulled away this time. Kelly smiled and slid off the counter. "Dinner will be ready right about …now." She said as she spooned the pasta out of the pot. Zack sighed deeply and sat down at the table. Kelly sensed looseness in his voice probably from being home already. As she sat down across from him she took his hand in hers and looked into his hazel eyes. She felt that this was the best time if any to talk about what had been on her mind all day. "Zack I think we need to talk about something that I have been trying to hold in all day." Zack looked at Kelly and saw that the smile had faded from her face and replaced by a scared, uncertain look." Kelly what is it? He asked as he stared into her eyes and squeezed her hand in a sense of comfort. "Zack um…. I'm um…. kind of…. well…"What is it Kelly?" "Pregnant." Was her stared at Zack. He was suddenly pulled back into their early years in junior high and high school." Zack" she asked timidly "What do you think?" "He jumped up and looked down at her "Where going to be parents?! You and me?! As in mommy and daddy?!" "Yes" Kelly answered. Suddenly tears were streaming down her gorgeous face and Zack got down on his knees and held her hand. "Kelly? What's wrong?" he asked, "I don't know I'm just really scared." She said. "Oh Kelly come here." He said taking Kelly in his arms and gently rocked her back and forth. "Tell me what's going on," he told her. "Well we've always wanted a baby and now it's going to really happen and I'm really nervous that something is going to happen plus it's going to hurt and we'll have to tell everyone and I'm not going to be your high school cheerleader, swimmer, volleyball girlfriend any more." "Oh Kelly, never would that happen, you will always be my high school fantasy girlfriend except you know, now my wife!" "Oh Zack thank you so much! You don't know how much that means to me!" she wrapped her arms around him and he held her there in his arms for along time, they kept their eyes closed, silently taking it all in. When Zack finally shifted to see his watch he realized that it was a lot later than he thought it was. Then he turned his head to look at Kelly who had fallen asleep in his arms. He smiled and slowly and gently picked her up and held her in his arms. She was totally vulnerable lying there in his arms. He was totally responsible for her right now and it felt good to have that role on his shoulders because he knew that he wasn't only holding his wife but his child, their child. I love you, both of you, he whispered and walked into the living room, sat down still holding Kelly and just looked down at her as silent tears fell from his eyes. "I'm going to be a daddy." He whispered before kissing Kelly's limp lips and smiling. "You will always be in my arms." He told her and he couldn't tell but he thought he saw Kelly and the baby smile at his kind words.
