Perfect"
*~Summary: Rick and Evy have been engaged for about 3 months or so and as
Evy has a little secret she's not willing to share yet, Rick is getting
more and more irritated with "having to be perfect." After a big blow out
and Evy's little secret slips out, will the couple ever be the same? Some
songfic added in here in some select chapters, heh, from the song,
"Perfect" by Simple Plan. Please r&r.
Nearly speeding down the road, Rick O'Connell could of very well killed some innocent old woman walking across the street or ran down some small child, he was flying down the road and kept yelling wildly out the window. "Shit!" He yelled as he swung into the Parking Lot of where Evy worked. "I'm late picking her up. Shit!" He jumped out of the car and ran up the steeps, only to find Evy perched daintily on the top corner on the other side of the steps, quietly reading. Looking up from her book, she said, "Rick..Are you alright dear? This is the third time you've been late this week...is something going on that I should know about?" What? "What? No Evy I'm so sorry sweetheart, you see there was bad traffic and there was this old guy in the road and uh.." Rick's voice trailed off and he stopped flailing his arms around, only to end up staring down at his little fiance like a 5-year old boy would look at his mother, waiting for his punishment. "Oh so your blaming it on an elderly citizen? Well then, I don't really know what to say Rick, but it's okay that your a bit late today.. Would it be more convenient for you for me to find another ride home?" What? Rick hated when she did this; he hated it with a passion. He hated how reseasonable she would act sometimes, when deep down he knew she was a little bit hurt. It drove him nuts. "Evy love, no. It's no inconvenience at all, you know that I love you sweetheart... I want to pick you up, hell I love picking up!" He said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster and knelt down next to her, giving her his best smile. Nodding, Evy said, "Rick really, its quite alright. Now, did you get what I asked you to grab for dinner?" Shit. He had forgotten all about it. Damn it all. "Well uh, you see Evy... Uhh.." Scratching the back of his head and standing up again, Rick awkwardly stood there, glancing down at her and desperately waiting for her to say something. Anything. "Did you forget Rick?" And when he didn't respond she sighed and said, "Well I suppose we can just run into the store on the way home. After all, we can't make dinner without the things on that list. You do still have the list, don't you?" "YES!" He yelled, and then as several other scholars looked over at him from where they had been quietly talking about 15 feet away, Rick saw Evy flush slight and instantly regretted it. "Yes, I have it right here." He dug around inside his pockets, and finally pulled out the wrinkled and bent piece of paper. "Here you go." He handed her it proudly, but as she took it into her own tiny hand and saw how wrinkled and smudged the ink was, she merely sighed and said, "Oh well, I guess we can just try and remember it while we're in the store.." "I'm sorry love." He said quietly, as he climbed into the car and watched as she tried to scoot into the car and still carry her armful of books. "Here baby, lemme take those off your hands-" Shit. He had taken them off her hands all right, but instead of them ending up in his they ended up sprawled all over the seat and falling out onto the concrete ground. SHIT. "I'm so so so sorry baby. Here, I'll get them." As he began to rapidly pick up the books, Evy slid into her seat and leaned back against it. Placing the books in the back seat of the car, Rick glanced at Evy for a minute before starting up the car. They rode down the street in silence for a few minutes, before Rick said, "Evy love, you are all right aren't you?" Blinking and looking over at her fiance, Evy said, "Yes, don't worry Rick, I'm okay. I'm just a tad tired that's all. Nothing to worry about." But even after she said this, Rick tenderly leaned over and kissed her cheek. Smiling a bit for the first time since we had picked her up, Evy said, "Oh Rick.." But then her voice trailed off and her voice dissolved into nothingness once again. "Baby..."he began, but then as he turned into the parking lot of the local store, he stopped and said, "Here, let me go in and get the stuff, okay? Just tell me what we need and I'll run in and grab it." Evy sighed again and considered it. She was awfully tired, and Rick's smile looked so cute and earnest, but then again, she didn't want him to come out with the wrong things... "C'me on sweetie" he said jokingly and nuzzled his face into her shoulder. "I was smart enough to ask you to marry me, I think I can handle this." Giggling a little, Evy finally gave in and said, "Okay, okay." And then told him the few ingredients they needed to make dinner. After he had bounded off into the store, Evy glanced around in the parking lot, and after seeing there was no one else around, sunk lower into her seat and placed her small hand up under her blouse and let it rest on her swelling stomach. She doubted Rick had noticed the change in her stomach, it wasn't too noticeable yet. At the most one seeing her without her blouse; which of course was only Rick, would think she was a tad bloated but nothing more then that. He wouldn't think she was... Slinking down deeper into her chair, Evy said and thought to herself, "I'm going to have this baby with Rick... But will he really be able to handle being a father? He can't even remember to buy food.." Meanwhile, in the store Rick busily went over the list of foods in his mind, and was proud to say that he had remembered everything his sweetheart had said. After counting out his money, Rick realized he had enough money to also buy her a bouquet of red roses, her favorite. After paying for his purchases, Rick brought it all outside, careful to keep the roses behind his back. As he neared the car, he saw his little Angel sitting inside the car staring off into space, and he grinned. Quietly opening up his door on the driver's side of the car, he poked his head in and tenderly kissed the side of her head. Evy jumped a bit, not even hearing him open the door. She let out a low breath and then smiled a bit and said, "Oh Rick, hi sweetheart. Did you get everything?" Nodding, Rick held up the bag and then grinned and said, "And I got you a little present too sweetheart." And with that he pulled out the flowers from behind his back, and watched her beautiful brown eyes grow wide with joy and he held it out closer to her, and watched as her eager little hands reached out for them, and she buried her face in the roses, seeping in their beautiful scent. "Do you like them love?" He said and grinned, stroking her hair gently. Nodding she said, "Oh yes I love them, thank you Rick." "No problem sweetheart." He murmured softly and kissed her pouty lips gently.
