Memories

Mello's POV

I can't believe I'm spending my Saturday morning this way, on the ground, fixing puzzles with Near. I was seriously regretting my choice of getting the five thousand pieces totally blank puzzle for Near to occupy her time with. Don't get me wrong, I like spending time with Near, no matter what the activity, just being together was great, and I love watching those petite hands working so diligently, that serious look on that pale face. It's just this puzzle…I was getting impatient just looking at it, and getting a migraine trying to piece it together.

"I'm gonna go wash my face," Near nodded, watching me walk towards the bathroom. I didn't bother to close the door, just got right to the sink and started splashing. Ah, much better. Darn it, how does Near do this, I feel like hitting something so badly, keeping a cool-head is harder than I thought, but I needed to refrain myself from impulsive behavior if I was gonna be a good dad. Ugh! How I wanted to smash my hands on the mirror. I shook my head. It's ok Mello, you can do this, just take a deep breath, in and out, in out, that's right.

Once I managed to calm myself, I snatched a towel wiping my face, then dumping it back on the hanger, turning around to walk back into the room where Near was still at that freakin' puzzle. I stopped at the bathroom door, smiling as a reflex. Near, do you have any idea how much I love you, especially right now.

The little rascal still hasn't notice me standing here, looking straight at her. A small hand was raised towards the window where the morning sun was shining brightly, and tiny shimmers spreading across Near's face from her slender finger, black eyes focusing on the little ring that was worn there. Pearly white teeth biting the edge of her lips, trying to hold back a smile or more like grin. This is the third time I caught Near doing this. The ring itself wasn't anything special, just plain silver, no flashy diamonds and carvings or stuff like that, I wanted to get one of those, but decided it wasn't very practical, but maybe later on, I will. So I would have to assume Near was eyeing it that way for other reasons….

"Near" the hand snatched away from the light, Near almost yelped, I chuckled.

"You shouldn't sneak up on people Mello," I placed my palm on the kid's face, feeling the temperature rise.

I ignored what she said, continuing my sentence, "Do you like being my wife?" Near started twirling those curls again. "I-" Come on Near, it's not that difficult, just say yes already.

"I…uh.." Near, why do you always have to be like this?

"…"

"Yes." that pale face blushing with red. "I like being Mello's wife."

Near's POV

I can't believe I just said that, why does Mello always have to ask me such embarrassing things? (although it was kind of sweet) His sweet voice chuckling, I tried to shake it off, continuing the puzzle that Mello got for me, eyes still wandering to the ring on my finger now and then, inwardly smiling.

"Ow!" I felt my entire abdomen contracting, unable to move, I was cramping up.

"Hey what's wrong?" Mello had his arm around me, supporting me. I grabbed his arm, trying to even my breath, the baby was kicking so furiously, it was like it was screaming, "let me out!".

"Shh" Mello hushed, caressing a hand on my belly and another on my back, a moment later, the baby calmed down, still again, except for it's thumping heart.

"Are you alright now?" Mello asked, worried.

"Yes, I-I'm fine." I smiled reassuring. He sighed, arms still wrapped around me protectively. It was a sweet moment. Then the moment was broken when Mello got a call and left to where exactly, I'm not sure, but I trusted him enough, not to ask.

"Welcome back," I said, eyes not shifting from the book, I wanted to use the computer, but was banned by Mello, apparently being a hazard to the baby. I heard him yawn and the rustling of clothes, I peeked from the corner of my eyes until he went into the bathroom. If only this belly wasn't this big….

I snapped myself out of whatever inappropriate thought was running through my head, walking over to pick up his clothes that he left all over the floor. I placed everything on the chair, picking up the jacket last, a paper fell out. With some difficulty, I picked it off the floor.

Candy

555-7894

My heart dropped to somewhere where even it's beat couldn't be felt anymore. Stupid tears, they just keep coming. It's just a number, it doesn't mean anything. I tried to rationalize. I need to trust Mello. I stuffed the paper back into the pocket, wiping my face clean, just in time before Mello stepped out of the bathroom, towel on his head. (He bathes really fast)

"Somethin' wrong?" those blue eyes widened a little.

"N-No" I tried to hide my emotions, "If Mello is done, I would like to take a bath next."

"Oh, ya, sure," He blinked, looking quite confused.

I soaked myself in the warm water and bubbles, cooling off, or at least trying to, until I started remembering again.

"Now, you just be a good little girl and stay still, okay?" the cold metal pressed onto my face, not yet breaking the skin, but enough to make a five year old very, very scared.

"Leave her alone!" daddy shouted. That made the scary man very angry and he took the big knife away from my face, moving it to daddy's neck, there was a lot of red and mommy screamed.

"Daddy?" I whispered, but there daddy didn't make a sound. I don't understand what's happening. Mommy was very scared, just like me, she was moving a lot, trying to get out of the ropes that the scary man tied us up with. She was crying, her eyes were very big.

"Natasha," the man called me, I looked up, keeping quiet, the man likes quiet.

"Get away from her! Don't touch my daughter, don't touch her!" Mommy cries. The scary man doesn't like that, he takes the big knife and stab her leg, there was red dripping everywhere, mommy screams again, making my ears hurt. The man puts a big tape over mommy's mouth.

Big scary man walks over, he smiles at me, "Natasha, you're so beautiful, just like a little doll, a perfect little doll. Your mommy and daddy have been really bad, keeping you away from me, they said I was dangerous and crazy. But you don't think so right?" I shook my head, looking at mommy, feeling more and more scared.

"You like me right?" I nodded.

"Then you want me to be happy, right?" I nodded, eyes looking down, I was too scared to look at him. He put a hand on my leg, it felt very uncomfortable, but the scary man wasn't angry anymore. "Good girl," he smiled, "just stay a good girl and I won't hurt mommy, okay?" I nodded again.

"Near," I opened my eyes, seeing Mello sitting down on the floor, leaning on the tub, just staring at me. I blinked, shaking my head a little. "Are you okay?" his blue eyes drooped.

"Yes." I answered, tugging on my hair, my visions were blurring again, I quickly blinked back the tears.

"Are you crying?" Mello, please stop asking. "No, it's just the soap." Yeah right, the soap. He frowned, stroking a hand through my head.

"W-What are you doing?" Mello stood up, taking off his pants and briefs, the only clothing he was wearing. "Move over, I'm coming in." he said. He adjusted me so that I was lying on top of him, lying my head on his chest. At least if I cried, he wouldn't be able to see it, I was glad about that, I didn't want to make things difficult on him.

"Ah, this feels nice." He laid his chin on my head, arms wrapping around my torso. The two of us soaked in silence, just embracing each other.

My eyelids were getting heavy, but I didn't want to get out of the tub, it was so peaceful right now. I was incoherent from drowsiness, suddenly feeling something between my legs. "Oops." he muttered, a slight laugh of awkwardness.

"I'm sorry" I slurred, but feeling a little more awake now.

"You're sorry? For what? Turning me on?" his voice joking. I smiled, impress I could still do something like that when I'm this 'big'.

"Darn it! I want you so badly right now." I would expect something like that, considering it's been about five months. I want you too, Mello.

He sighed loudly, it made me feel bad, I couldn't give him what he want, but maybe I can give a fraction of it. Still shaky and uncertain, I place his two fingers into my mouth, sucking it, I felt it tighter between my legs. Mello made no objections, but I could hear his breathing and heart rate increase. Then I placed the same hand on my breast, those things were so huge now, might as well put them to good use. I pressed the hand down hard on a nipple, trying my best to give out a really sexy moan. Mello became so stiff, erection really tight. For the first time, I was the one in control, I was still a little shaky, quite new to this, but the thrill was undeniable.

Finally I think Mello had enough, it must've been torture for him, not being able to shove his penis in me. I took a deep breath silently, steadying my hands, I held his length, and started pumping. Hearing moans and groans at the back of my ear, then he came, quite fast. We laid on the tub, Mello kissed my head, almost like a silent 'thank you'.

We took a quick shower together, cleaning off the cum, then rested together in bed. I was sure that Mello wasn't cheating now, there's no way, especially seeing how easily he came back there.

"I love you." He murmured. I snuggled closer, "I love you too". And all the bad memories drained away.

Wow Near...the kid's really something else...So who thinks Mello is cheating?...and where the hell is Matt?...REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!!
