'If you call, I'll come running. Everytime'
Mary jumped up as these words that had passed Marshall's mouth several hours ago. She glanced over at her alarm clock which read 4:01am. She then turned her head to the left side of the bed to find Kenny there. Then she found herself recalling what had happened the previous night.
A lot had happened during yesterday and Mary just couldn't seem to get her head around. Stan's leaving dinner was a success, they had gone to a beautiful restaurant and all of her close friends and family were there. Mary had felt happy throughout the dinner. She was smiling at the memories and their was a glow in her eyes, even if she couldn't see it. Marshall had teased her last night about bringing Kenny to the dinner which she found herself laughing at, then she came back to reality. It was not 4:22am and even though she had the day off tomorrow, Mary thought it would be best to go back to sleep as Norah would be waking soon, she turned over in her bed to face Kenny, gave him a small smile and closed her eyes.
Mary's eyes pinged open at 7:30am. She turned to look at Kenny to find him already awake and gazing at her, Kenny signalled for her to come closer to him, but the cries coming from Norah's room meant that she had to leave him in the bed.
Ever since Norah had been born she had found herself becoming less selfish now, and the best part of the day for Mary was getting Norah out of her cot, and putting her back in it on some nights. She then went to go and sit with Norah in Mary's bed, like always, but then remembered that Kenny was their. An early breakfast for Mary and Norah it was.
Mary hadn't even had time to look at her phone this morning and just remembered about it, she finished chopping the fruit and de seeding some of it, she handed the bowl to Norah, who was very hungry and always loved her fruit. She went off to her bedroom to get her phone. She came straight back out of the bedroom and didn't even realise that Kenny had gone back go sleep. She had 3 text messages, two from Marshall, and one from Stan. The message from Stan read :
"Hey Mary, it's Stan. Obviously. Just wanted to say that tonight was fantastic and just because I'm not going to be in ABQ Witsec anymore, you must remember that I am always here x"
Mary was choked up by this message, which was unusual as Stan never ever says anything like this, and certainly not through text message. She couldn't bring herself to reply yet so she then read the messages from Marshall, the first one read :
"So I see you brought your guy tonight.."
After reading this Mary laughed, and glanced up at Norah to see if she was okay.
"Anyways, what happened on the balcony. You know. We'll not talk about it, but I needed to get it off my chest."
Mary was furious at this point, why would Marshall say something like this? Choosing to ignore it she scrolled to the second message which read :
"Tonight was great, and for the record partner, I'm never saying farewell Mare."
It was obvious that Marshall and Abigail had continued the celebrations as this message was sent and 2:37am.
Multiple emotions were running through Mary's head at this moment, but she chose to ignore them. She replied to Stan's message with "No matter how far you are you'll always be my Chief and more.".
She put her phone down to find Norah covered in fruit juices with a big gaping smile. She never knew how she could love someone this much.
So this party of the story is finally up, I have been debating wether to put this story up but I thought I would give it a go. This one has a slow start but I'm already on to chapter 7 of the story!
