Chapter 29

Monday Night

Krillin let out a relaxed sigh followed by a smile. He and 18 were watching TV together, well mostly just him since 18 was asleep with her head in his lap, but it was times like this he really enjoyed the life of marriage. God, she was so beautiful. He was so lucky to have her. She was what made him complete and happy. If someone would have told him that he and 18 would later end up getting married, he would have laughed in their face.

Krillin shook his head, he remembered the first day he laid eyes on her. He was so terrified, yet intrigued at the same time. And when she kissed him for the first time, he couldn't get her out of his head for anything. She plagued his thoughts daytime and nighttime and there was nothing he could do but standby and let it happen. As each day passed, he found himself falling in love with her more and more. At that time he knew it was hopeless, but he still kept trying.

He was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard a light sigh exit her mouth. She looked so peaceful and calm when she was asleep. He looked at the time on the wall. 11:45. As much as he didn't want to ruin this moment, they had to go to bed because if he didn't he would be extremely tired in the morning.

He looked at her one last time, before careful lifting her up in his arms and heading to their bedroom. He made sure to be extra careful when carrying her upstairs. Once he made it to the top of the stairs, he entered their room and laid her on her side of the bed and tucked her in. Afterwards, he decided on a quick shower.

Krillin gathered up his night clothes, walked into the bathroom and turned the water to the shower on before stepping in.

Thirty minutes later

Krillin let out a sigh of relief as he stepped out the shower. He always felt more relaxed after he took a shower. Once he was done, he quickly got dressed into his night clothes and exited the bathroom. After he threw his clothes in the hamper, he walked over to his side of the bed and got in. He had the urge to hold 18 in his sleep, but he didn't act on it. He remembered what happened last time he tried that. It was over ten years ago, but he still remembered it clearly. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try? And he could probably get away with it, since he woke up before her sometimes.

He finally made his decision and scooted next to her, hoping that she didn't stir or worse...wake up. Once he was close enough he draped his arm around her and closed his eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
