Here goes another chapter hope you enjoy it.
The next morning Eve didn't feel Wally as close to her as he usually was. She sat up and looked over to the other side of the bed. There he was fast asleep, he wasn't even facing her. Eve didn't think much of it at first, but then everything Mira told her came back. She tried waking her husband up "Wally" he groaned "Wally wake up" he opened his eyes and turned to her, he made eye contact for a few seconds then turned around. Eve felt a pang of hurt, he always had a smile on his face when he saw her "Wally what's wrong?" "Evah I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen" Eve narrowed her eyes he really does blame himself "Wally you didn't do anything wrong" Wally sat up and looked at her "Do you really believe that?" his tone wasn't like if he was asking a question more like accusing her of something.
Eve sighed "Wally you better not be blaming yourself because of things you can't control" Wally looked at the power meter on his chest "That's the thing I could, if I wasn't their dad" Eve could remember all the times she had cried because it happened so rarely, but for the first time Wally actually hurt her "So you're saying I would be better without you?" "I'm saying you could have been with some else…" Eve was stunned what did he just say? "I will never find some better than you Wally" "You would have eventually" slap! Wally fell from the bed from the force of the impact. He touched his face, but the stinging sensation stopped him.
Eve got up and kneeled next to him "Has your brother told you what he did to Mira?" Wally was still recovering from the hit "Do you know how much he hurt her when this happened to Daniel and Aidan?" Wally found his voice again "Even Mira knew it was his fault…" Wally clearly misunderstood what Eve said "He almost left her because he was thinking the same things you are now, she loves him so much and he turned his back on her" Wally closed his eyes "Just like you are now" she hugged him burying her face on his shoulder
"I thought you promised you would never hurt me…" Wally hesitated a bit before he stroked her back. Wally remembered the conversation he had with Danny the night before if this happened.
Wally didn't know how to put into words what he was feeling, but it was above all upsetting for him. Why? Maybe hearing Danny had brushed with death more times than one should ever have to "Wally one last thing" Wally brushed his thoughts aside "What is it?" Danny rubbed the back of his neck "Don't blame yourself about the situation" Wally faced forward again "Why shouldn't I? It's because of me that this is happening at all" Danny sighed, knew it wasn't going to be easy "I made the same mistake and I still can't believe I did what I did" "What would that be?" Wally said in a monotone voice "Almost leaving Mira and my children even after all the times I said how much I love them"
"So you expect me to think Evah will forgive me that easy?" "She has to blame you for something so she could forgive you" Wally looked at him "What makes you think that?" Danny crossed his arms over his chest "The way she looks at you says it all, she loves you Wally what more do you need?"
Danny was right, it never crossed Eve's mind that this was Wally's fault. If he didn't know any better Eve was angry that he thought that, let alone say it out loud "Wally do you still love me?" "Of course" his response was almost a reflex "Then we can get through this without fighting" Wally just held her in his arms "Eve what are we going to do?" Eve pulled back a little to look him in the eyes "Mira is in charge of everything, she knows exactly what she's doing" she helped him stand up and wiped the tears from her eyes "Wally I don't ever want to hear you say something like that again" he simply nodded taking a seat on the bed.
Wally would have smiled if the left side of his face didn't sting so much. Again Danny was right; he always seemed to be right about things like this. Wally felt like an idiot now that he said what his brother told him exactly what not to do "I really have to apologize now"
Mira woke up feeling pressure on her chest; she looked down and saw a dark head of hair she knew all too well. She smiled, kissed the top of Danny's head and lay back down on the pillow. She ran her fingers through his hair as she felt him smile "Good morning beautiful" Mira chuckled "Morning to you too my love" Danny hugged her tighter and heard Mira's heart beat faster "Funny how I can still make you blush like that" Mira knew Danny could make her feel the same way she felt on the day he asked her to marry him. Funny how life works out that way, she finds a stranger out in a land that is long dead and ends up sharing the rest of her life with him.
He didn't even need to see her face to know how she felt; it was a gift he didn't even know had. Danny was able to change her perception of him in days, he wasn't like any guy she had ever met he was sincere, a genuine good person, and funny even when he didn't know what he said. Some days Mira would wake up and stare at him and place a hand on his face to see if he was real and she wasn't in some dream she made up.
"Mira do you think we should get up before Aidan barges in or something?" he felt Mira's laugh go through him like a warm breeze "Well it's still pretty early want to do something first?" Danny knew that tone all too well. He rolled on top of her and gazed into her eyes "It is my turn to show you how much I love you" he trailed kisses down her neck as Mira moaned in pleasure. Sure Danny might be a nice guy and all, but he changed whenever they made love. He knew her body well enough to know what will get her to roll her eyes to the back of her head. Again Mira couldn't believe he was hers.
Wally and his family happily ate breakfast as the kids were chatting away like every other day. Wallace turned to his mother "Mom can we take Daniel and Aidan to space today?" Eve smiled "Do you want to go to a spacewalk because your cousins are here or are you using them as an excuse?" Wallace fiddled with his fingers "uh… a little of both" Wally laughed as Wendy buried her face in her hands Even when I tell him not to. Eve watched her kids start whispering to each other how could Wally look at them every day and say what he did was wrong? Wally looked at Eve "So Evah what do you think?"
Eve was brought back from her thoughts "I'm sorry what?" "A space walk today, but taking Danny and his family" Eve smiled "Sure that sounds like fun" Wally smiled and continued eating his breakfast. Well at least he's smiling again she thought.
They made their way to Mira's temporary home to tell them about their plans. Wendy knocked and Daniel answered the door "Good morning everyone" he lead them to the living room and took a seat. Wally looked around and saw Aidan eating cereal "Daniel where's your mom and dad?" Aidan looked at his uncle "Probably still asleep I tried knocking, but their door is locked" Eve and Wally immediately turned a shade of red that rivaled a tomato, Wallace failed to notice the change in his parents skin color "Maybe they went to sleep late" Eve couldn't even stop her thought process oh they went to sleep late alright. She shook her head imagining her late nights with her husband.
Unless I see that look on her face I won't say anything. Wally saw Eve deep in thought Hehehe probably thinking if they're done or not. Wally got up and looked at Daniel "Which room are they in?" "Down the hall, last door on the right" Eve gave him a look that obviously said let's wait a little while, but Wally walked up to the door wondering if he was actually interrupting anything. Then again they had to get up sometime besides they're going to fly anyway.
Sorry for taking so long in updating, but my internet seems to work when it wants right now and I'm trying to get it fixed.
