"Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what life has."
Haley walked through the exit door of the mental institution and took a deep breath of the fresh air. The sunshine warmed her skin. She took her time walking down the stairs and smiled as she saw Chris's car pull up in front of her.
Chris unlocked the passenger side door and opened it. Smiling as Haley climbed inside and closed the door behind herself.
"You look incredible. I've missed you. And love you so much." Chris said.
"You look better. I've missed you more. And love you in a way i never thought possible.I needed the help and time away to heal, mourn, process my feelings." Haley said.
"Are you still feeling guilty and as if what happened was you're fault.?" Chris asked. As he turned the car back on and began to drive back on the road.
Haley thought over the question. Put her hand on his free hand. Then spoke. "Honestly i feel like i always will feel a strong amount of guilt but that's the mother in me. I've done what i can to work through that."
"Months ago you told you were going to start therapy. How is that going.?" Haley asked.
"Alot more difficult then i imagined. It's not just talking. You dig into every aspect of life that lead you to the present. It's helping which should be the only goal in mind." Chris said.
Chris then focused his gaze towards the road. He eventually made his way towards their neighborhood then their street.
When he reached their home he pulled into the driveway.
...
"Let's get you settled and relaxed upstairs." Chris said. Putting down her suitcases in the entryway.
"I can unpack later. The only way i'm getting back into bed right now is if you join me." Haley said. Leaning over placing a kiss on his lips.
...
Haley closed and locked the door to their bedroom.
Chris wrapped his arms around her. Holding onto her gently.
"Are you nervous.?" Haley asked.
"I just don't want to hurt you." Chris admitted.
"You won't hurt me. Feeling you're kiss and you're touch. Getting back to normal. Whatever that means now. Is what we both need. I'm not going to get pregnant. I'm birth control. If that's what you're concerned about." Haley said.
Chris breathed a sigh of relief at her words.
"We weren't meant to be parents. You've had time to come to terms with it. And i have too."
"Make love to me." Haley said.
Chris nodded his head in agreement. Leaning over kissing her carefully.
Haley kissed him back. Pulling him closer towards her.
She pulled off his shirt. Running her hands on his bare chest.
Chris slowly pulled off the straps of Haley's dress. Kissing her bare shoulder blades.
Haley's shuttered closed as she felt him pull the dress off of her.
She made her way out of it. Now only in her bra and panties.
She focused her attention on getting his pants off.
Haley pulled them down.
Chris made his way out of them as fast as possible. He picked her up. And carried her over to the bed.
Haley placed kisses all over him. Wrapping her legs around him.
Her heart pounding so loudly. Their eyes locked on each other.
He removed her bra slowly. Throwing it the floor.
Focusing on giving special attention to her breasts. By massaging, stroking, licking, kissing and biting them.
The affection caused Haley to throw her head back on the pillow. And grip the sheets. Her moans filling the air.
Chris took off his boxers and slowly began placing kisses from her neck down to her stomach.
"Look at me." He said. His voice soft.
Haley turned her gaze forward locking eyes with him.
Chris took one of her arms and placed kisses up and down carefully. Gently on the scars left behind by Haley's darkest moments.
"I love you." He said. Between kisses.
Tears fell from Haley's eyes.
He carefully placed down her arms and slowly peeled off her panties. Dropping it to the floor.
Haley leaned up and reconnected their lips.
Digging her fingers into his back. Moaning his name first quietly in his ear then louder. As their bodies began to move as one.
When his hand found it's way to her clit she lost all control. As her body shook. Overtaken by waves of pleasure.
