Because Of You Chapter 13
Lacee walked hand in hand with Newt into the mess hall as they scanned the room for the others.
They weren't hard to find seeing as how Thomas was currently arguing loudly with Clint while Jeff was trying to keep the peace between the Creator and his boyfriend.
Newt and Lacee exchanged a look as they made their way over to where Gally sat with Minho watching the hissy fit that the two Gladers were in the middle of.
As soon as Gally saw her, he immediately stood and took her into his arms with his eyes scanning up and down her new maternity outfit appreciatively.
She had gotten dressed in a long sleeved light blue and white striped maternity shirt that clung to her growing bump and a pair of maternity skinny jeans.
Gally's green eyes met her blue ones as he looked down at his girlfriend with pure adoration.
"Hello gorgeous….How was your shower? Are you feeling any better?"
He said gently as his arms wrapped around her waist while he pulled her flush against him.
Placing a slow, passionate kiss on his lips she ducked her head down onto his shoulder as she breathed in his familiar woodsy scent.
"It was wonderful. Newtie and I had a lot of fun. I'm feel so much better than I was before. I'm awfully tired though. I think tonight I want to curl up under the covers and spend some time just us snuggling together."
Gally nodded and ran his fingers through her blonde locks as he grasped the back of her neck gently and brought his lips down onto her own.
"I'm glad to hear it love. It seems like forever since we've had a night to ourselves. Perhaps we can hide out in my workshop and have a romantic evening just the two of us. I'm sure the others could fend for themselves for a night."
He said before they pulled apart and joined the others in a relaxed evening meal.
An Hour Later….
The sun had set and the stars glittered in the sky as Lacee lay wrapped in Gally's arms snuggled under the covers of his bed.
A comfortable silence had fallen over them as he stroked his fingers through her hair gently while she listened to the sound of his steady heartbeat.
Gently, he lifted her chin up so his warm lips molded together with hers and brought her spirit to life.
Sighing with happiness, their lips danced together in a sensual rhythm as time stopped around them.
Out of all her lovers, she knew that Gally would always hold an even more special place in her heart not just because he was the father of her first child, but because he was truly her first.
He was different from Thomas and Newt in the way that no one else knew but them.
She and Gally had a history that reached father back then when they first came to Wicked together.
They had lived in the same small town in Louisiana and used to be best friends before the solar flares hit the earth and destroyed everything that they held dear.
Gally was the one who found Lacee in the destroyed remains of her house and had brought her to safety.
She loved all three of her lovers in different ways.
But Thomas and Newt would never be as close as she and Gally.
He truly was her soulmate.
When they pulled away to catch their breath, gently Gally leaned his forehead against hers and spoke barely above a whisper ensuring that his words were for her and her only her would ever hear them.
"Remember the first time we met, Cee? You were seven and I was eight. Our families were having a barbeque on the last day of summer. I'll never forget the first time I saw you standing there by your favorite tree in that beautiful white summer dress. The first thing I noticed was your eyes. They were so blue. I thought that was going to drown in their watery depths. It was in that moment that I knew I wanted to be yours. And when you spoke…God…I felt like I was going to melt into a puddle of goo right at your feet when I heard your soft voice. To this day, that sound is my favorite sound in the world. I never could've imagine how perfect you would be as the years went on and I fell harder for you. I can truly say that I love you with all my being Lacee. You complete me. I'm yours until the day I leave this world behind. You're going to be the mother of my child and I can't wait until the day that we get to meet our baby that we created together. My whole world will revolve around you and our child. Together we'll create the family that we always dreamed of. I love you Lacee Cassandra Thompson. They may have taken away our families, our homes, our memories and our world before the solar flares, but they never will take away my love for you."
As the last few words fell from his lips, tears were cascading down both of their cheeks as they joined together once more in an eternal embrace that bound them together forever and for all eternity.
