Sometimes she cries on my shoulder

When she's laying next to me

But she don't know that when I hold her

That she's really holding me

Holding me

It had been a long day at work. Kevin had to work the early shift and when one of the other officers called in sick, Detective Michaels asked Kevin to take his shift. He had agreed, wanting to give Lucy as much as time alone as possible. He pulled his blue SUV into their garage and opened the back door to their house. He was going to immediately change out of his uniform and take a quick nap on the couch.

When he opened the door he thought he heard Lucy crying. "I wonder what the problem is now," he muttered under his breath. He laid his wallet and keys on the table by the door and went to find Lucy.

When he entered the living room, he saw her curled up on the couch crying. He debated whether or not he should go over there and comfort her, or if he should leave her alone. He decided to try and talk to her.

He crossed the room to the couch and sat on the other end from where she was. "Luce?" he said quietly, but Lucy still jumped.

Lucy sniffed and wiped her tears. "Oh, it's you. You scared me," she said through her tears.

"Is everything alright?" Kevin questioned

"Yes," she replied as she shook her head.

Kevin smiled. That was a definite 'no'. "Come here," he said gently and Lucy scooted across the couch until she was in his arms. "Now, tell me what has been bothering you." She shook her head. Kevin took her hand, "That's okay, I'll wait until you're ready."

Lucy cried for another minute and looked up at Kevin. She could tell he wasn't going anywhere. She knew she had hurt him a lot during the last week and she felt awful. That was part of the reason she was upset now. She had been cruel to him, how could she expect him to forgive her?

Everything was getting to her. She was in her last year of school and the work was harder than ever. She had always strived to be an outstanding student and she also wanted to be a wonderful wife. And that meant a lot of studying and cooking and cleaning and trying to make time to spend with Kevin and her family. After two years of trying to do it all, it finally caught up with her.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered, looking down at the floor.

"For what?" Kevin asked

"For acting awful to you all this week," Lucy said softly, still avoiding looking at him.

"I accept your apology, although it isn't necessary," he replied as he ran his fingers up and down her arm. "Luce, look at me," he gently said. She finally raised her head to look at him. "I love you more than anything in the world and if there is ever anything you want to talk about, I'm here for you."

Lucy buried her head in his shoulder. "Ammamama," she mumbled.

Kevin chuckled, "What?"

She raised her head, "I said I'm such a jerk."

"No, no you're not."

"Yes I am," she said slowly. "I let all my stress and worries get to me and then I yelled at you. I pushed you away, even though you just wanted to help. I guess its finally caught up to me. I'm just feeling really overwhelmed"

"Honey, I understand. You go to school full time and are a wonderful student and you're also a great wife. And somehow between all the things you do, you still make time to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity and spend time with your friends and family. I realize you're always busy and that's why I want to help you out with things around the house."

"Well you're busy too."

"Not half as busy as you are. Sometimes I think you do to much. Luce, I would love to cook dinner for you when you're busy studying and I can vacuum too." She smiled. "And I think I know how to dust the furniture and who knows, I might know how to do a load of laundry. I'm here for you, use me, because I love you and don't know what I would do without you."

Lucy smiled and gently kissed him. "I love you too and I'm the luckiest woman alive," she said as she pulled his arms around her and continued kissing him.

Sometimes she cries on my shoulder

When she's laying next to me

But she don't know that when I'm holding her

That she's really holding me

Holding me

She don't know how much I need her

She don't know I'd fall apart

Without her kiss

Without her touch

Without her faithful loving arms

She don't know that it's all about her

She don't know I can't live without her

She's my world

She's my everything

And she thinks she needs me

Yea now the funny thing is

She thinks she's the lucky one

Please review cause this is the last chapter and I wanted to get it done before finals!

I've got another story that I'm working on, it's a little similar, but not really, to A Rush Of Wings, so look for that sometime :)
