Chapter 13:
Later that afternoon Minnie was back home with Mickey. They were sitting on the couch in front of their Christmas tree and she was crying in his arms.
She felt bad about everything she had said to Jenny. She felt like she had been much too harsh. It was rare that she ever yelled or lost her temper to anyone that way. And when she did, especially to a friend or family member, she felt horrible afterwards.
Mickey held her in his arms and kissed her. He never liked seeing his wife sad. And whenever she was he did everything in his power to make her happy.
"I didn't mean to be so mean to her," Minnie cried.
Mickey kissed the top of her head. "Honey, you were not mean. You've done everything right. It was absolutely right of you to call CPS back then. And today I think you said what Jenny needed to hear."
She looked at him. "You think so?"
He wiped her tears. "Yes, I do. Everyone wants to jump to conclusions and wants Jenny to be okay but the reality of it is that she needs to face the consequences of her actions."
"She said I was jealous of her just because I can't have any children. The last thing I am is jealous. I want what's best for the kids."
Mickey kissed her again. "We all do Min." He hugged her. "I never want you to be sad honey."
"I can never be when I'm in your arms," she said feeling a million times better. This was why she loved Mickey. He cared for her so much and he'd make sure that she was okay no matter what. "Mickey….do you think one day we can…?"
He looked into her eyes. "I know we can. What did I promise you the first night that we tried?"
"That you'll give me a baby, no matter what," she replied.
She remembered that night perfectly. She had told him that she was ready. He took her to bed, lay her down, and made love to her as passionately as he did ever since the first time they had made love so many years ago. Afterwards they lay under the covers cuddling in each other's arms feeling very sleepy. She had said, "Mickey...do you think I'll get pregnant?"
He looked into her eyes, his chocolate brown eyes burning into her bright blue ones. "Minnie, I promise you, no matter what, I will give you a baby."
"Of course I remember," she said.
He ran his fingers across her cheek. "And I will. I'll never go back on a promise to you."
With everything he said to her, it was so apparent that he loved her with all of his heart and soul. He was perfection to her. Every time she looked into his eyes, she seemed to fall in love with him all over again. She wrapped her arms around his neck and placed the most passionate kiss on his lips that she could all the while holding back tears. Every now and then their love for each other would make her so emotional that she would break down into tears.
Later that afternoon the two of them were laying on that same couch wrapped around each other and deeply sleeping.
Mickey's eyes fluttered open and he looked at the grandfather clock across the room. It was after 6:00. They'd have to get ready to go to the House Of Mouse to host the club at 8:00.
He looked down at his beautiful sleeping wife. She was gorgeous when she slept, like the most beautiful angel to grace the earth with her presence. He'd always felt that way about her, ever since the first time he looked into those beautiful blue eyes on the set of "Plane Crazy" so many years ago. They'd built their lives together ever since then and he couldn't ask for anyone better to spend his life with.
He kissed both her cheeks and her lips gently. "Min?"
"Hmm?" she said sleepily.
"Wake up angel," he whispered. "We've got to get ready to go to the club."
She opened her eyes fully and smiled at the sight of her husband. This was the way that she loved to wake up.
They both changed their clothes and then drove to the House Of Mouse. People hadn' started arriving yet, but they always got there early to make sure everything was ready.
They'd started the club a while ago, and they'd even made it into a cartoon for a few years. They'd stopped doing the show simply because it became too much to handle on top of everything else they were doing. But they still opened up the club once a week and did a show and dinner for everyone.
There were people who had a membership to the club and came nearly every week and then there were a limited number of guest seats. Everyone who came had to sign up before hand to be guaranteed a seat (people with memberships were always guaranteed though).
When they got there Daisy was checking the guest list which told them they'd have a full house.
Goofy was in the kitchen working on the food. He'd taken up cooking some time before the show started and became really good at it so his job was the head chef.
Donald was making sure the tables were set up okay and Horace was up in the control booth making sure Mike was working okay and that all of the effects and cartoon clips were ready to be played. Max who worked as their valet was just sitting at a table texting Roxanne until the guests started to arrive.
Horace played some Christmas music. Then Mickey pulled his wife into his arms and danced with her. The two of them loved dancing together. It was like they had a chemistry unparallelled to anyone else.
"Can you two be anymore cheesy?" Oswald said as he came in with his wife and children. His oldest was 15 and they'd just had another baby a year ago.
"Can you be any more annoying?" Mickey said with a smirk.
Daisy came over to them. "The guests are arriving."
It was show time.
I felt like there wasn't enough Mickey and Minnie romance in this story.
