Chapter Two: Riverside
Deacon's Pov
Its visitor day today, and I really hope Rayna decide to come. I know that we didn't end on the brightest note, but we love each other and if I'm correct we're having a baby. I really just need to see her I have another five months here and I am beyond determined to make it work this time I have a lot to live for. I finally have to stop living in the past doing that has almost caused me to lose the love of my life. I don't want to take a chance of her leaving me and taking my baby with her. I wouldn't survive without either one of them. It's coming up on ten now I just finished cleaning the dining area, I have group in 15 and the visitors start coming at 1 and stay till 6. I really am excited we've talked on the phone every day since I got privileges, and I really hope she comes today we have a lot to talk about and I'm really excited to see all the changes that's happened with the baby in a month.
In the Parking Lot
Rayna's Pov
I'm scared that's the first thought that runs through my mind as I sit in the lot deciding if I want to go in or not. Part of me want to go and see the man I love more than anything else while the other part is scared that him seeing me will make things harder for him to stay in rehab Cole always says I'm his greatest addiction. As I continue to think I see him standing in the front window hands in pockets chewing on his bottom lip searching for someone. At that moment I know exactly what I need to do so I turn off the truck unbuckle and start making my way through the doors of the center.
Recreation Room
No Pov
Hey babe I say as I come close to Deacon who is staring very intensely at a Pinball machine. I hear her voice and I can't help but smile as I turn around and envelope her in a tight hug. Babe loosen up a bit I can't breathe she says laughingly. Oh, I'm so sorry are you ok I didn't hurt you did I? No, no I'm just fine we're fine. Goodness Ray look at you. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Oh, definitely a good thing a great thing actually. You look absolutely amazin' Ray, you're glowing and I can kinda see a baby belly. Yeah I thought that the other day too, but enough about me look at you babe you look so good. I feel really good. I want this to work Ray you have no idea how much I want this to work. That's great babe because we really need this to stick she replies as tears enter her eyes. There's no reason to cry it will work I don't want to lose you either one of you. As long as this works you will have us. Good, so enough with the mushy crap that makes us both cry how about what have you been up to the last month? Good Idea Deke he smiles at his nick name; I've been writing playing a few local shows not much else. Oh, you going back out on tour not until this baby's at least a year and you can go with me. My life's just not the same without you I really miss you babe. I know I miss you too, but it will get better. I'm going to come home in five months and I will be better. We can start preparing for this baby, and I can share the songs I've been writing lately. Everything will work out this time babe I promise because I really know what's at stake if it doesn't. Good, so what have you been up to around here? Well, I clean the dining and rec area, go to group twice a day, I see the therapist by myself twice a day and I write. You sound like a busy man. I am but it's good Ray I feel better now than I have in a long time. You were right about a lot Ray, I needed to straighten my life out before I killed myself or you and our baby. I love you darlin' more than anything in the world and I am so incredibly sorry you will just never know. I love you too babe she says not knowing if she should laugh cry or do both. So, how about we take a walk the director said we could and the gardens are amazing. I would like that very much. Let's go then! He say with a laugh.
In the Garden
You were right babe it is beautiful out here. When am I not right Ray? You know what don't answer that. She just shakes her head and laughs at him. What? He says. Nothin' babe just thinking of how good it is to see you this way. What way? Happy, you haven't been this way in a long time I've been very worried about you. There's no need to worry now I'm getting better I will be better. Good, so I got something funny to tell ya. What? Your good buddy Wheels Up called yesterday. Oh yeah, what did he want? Well, he said he heard that you were in rehab again and wanted to see if I was in need of consoling. THAT NO GOOD SON OF A BITC- of course when I told him we were having a baby and still together he had to go real quick. Really now? Yep, no one can compete with you babe you're it for me. Good cause I don't know what I would do without you. As their time came to an end Deacon enveloped Rayna in another tight hug before kissing her and bending down to kiss their child. They continued this routine every month for the next five.
Thank y'all I hope you enjoyed this chapter stick around there's a lot more to come!
