Summary: It would take me two years of amnesia to realize that no matter what I did, I was the reaper.
A/N: This is going to be a fluffy chapter, so hold on tight and enjoy the ride while it lasts.... which might consist of a few chapters.. (
Chapter 11: A-Pier
RECAP
"Now we're off to see the marry little baby you have with you." The nurse said merrily, wheeling Sydney off with Vaughn fallowing close behind.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
I look down into the cold, gray waters at the end of the pier. I have one hand resting on the railing and one on my swollen stomach.
'Did I really do that?' I keep asking myself. 'Did I really jump?'
I already know that answer to those questions, I have a pair of crutches next to me and a fiberglass cast on my left foot to mark my finally attempt of peace.
"You walk pretty fast for a cripple." Vaughn says, wrapping his warm, strong arms around my as best as he can with my child-bearing midriff.
"Did I really do that?" I ask him, looking back down into the throbbing water.
"Yes." He tells me sadly. "Yes you did..but you know what?"
"What?" I ask.
"I saved you." He whispers into my ear, lightly feathering my neck with kisses.
It's been almost 3 months since my jump; almost 3 months since my discovery of child and it's...her, father, and 3 months since my father finally accepted Vaughn as the love of my life. In a way, I'm glad that I jumped, even if just the thought of what I did still send cold shivers up my back. What I did, even though I regret it dearly, brought Vaughn to me; Vaughn AND my father. I know it sounds selfish, but after all my years of helping others, of trying to "save the world" its my turn to want something better for myself; its my turn now.
"I love you." I say, turning around as gracefully as I could.
"I love you too." He tells me, kissing me on the lips this time. I smile devilishly when we pull away.
"Ok, what's so funny?" he asks me, giving me a funny look.
"Two words," I tell him, "Home Depot." I say casually. I smile again as I watch Vaughn rolls his eyes and then burry is face into the crook of my neck. The moan he emits tickles my neck and I am forced to pull back, only to reveal a pouting Vaughn.
"Do we have to?" he whines childishly.
"Yes!" I tell him sternly. "And besides, you're a guy; you're supposed to like hardware stores."
"No I'm not. The connection between men and hardware stores is a common social misunderstanding. Not all men where born to worship to the tools of "Black and Checker." He declares.
"Decker honey, it's 'Black and Decker.'" I laugh, correcting him.
"See! That what I mean, there's proof right there that I wasn't meant to be the owner of a Home Depot gift card."
"Stop whining, all you have to do is go in there and get me two more gallons of paint for the baby room." I say, referring to the half painted baby room in our new house.
"What color again?" he asks.
"Lavender; the girly color, because we're having a girl." I smile.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me."
"About what?"
"We need to get a dog."
"A dog?"
"Yeah, a dog, so I'm not the only guy in the house when 'Little Baby Bristow' arrives."
"And that reminds me." I add
"What reminds you?"
"'Little Baby Bristow' needs a name."
Vaughn laughs, "Of course she does. I'll go get a book after we visit the 'Hardware Store from Hell.'"
Tbc...
A/N: R&R if you want more. Sorry its so short!!
It was 11:00 at night and I was "attempting" to fall asleep when this chapter popped into my head..so I was forced to write it down.and while I was writing this down, about a million other story lines popped into my head. Let me just tell you this; I didn't get any sleep that night; Attack of the Plot Bunnies.
I trust that everyone here had a great Christmas? :: dances around insanely:: I got ALIAS SEASON 2 ON DVD!! Woo-hoo!!!!!!
Hehe, Ok, I'm calm now..off to write chapter 12.. (
