Part 19

After a quick squabble of seats and cars all seven were on their way, albeit sad and very much scared despite their ages, but on their way none the less.

Maria and Georg travelled alone in a car together and the others crammed into the other, all of them thinking it best if Maria and Georg were left on their own for a while. Georg watched the car in front that held the others with such a long held gaze, constantly keeping aware of everything around him.

He had vowed before that he would not lose her and he had broken it, so completely but now he had her back he swore it, he vowed, he would scream it to the gods and he would write it in blood if needs be! Glancing to his side he caught a glimpse of her, just staring out of the window. Though he whole heartedly knew she was ecstatic to be back safe with him he couldn't help but see the sadness that lay just beyond her beautifully piercing eyes.

He sighed and looked back at the road.

Maria heard him took her head away from the glass and looked at him "What is it?" she asked gently.

He shook his head and smiled briefly at her "Nothing my love, truly" he said taking her hand and squeezing it.

She smiled back and interlaced their fingers for a few moments "Are you sure?"

He nodded and looked into her eyes for a moment somehow trying to prove it "I'm just worried about you" he said sincerely.

Maria looked down "I'm fine…"

"Maria…"

"Georg, please" she begged as she looked at him, his eyes facing the road again, occasionally looking at her briefly "I am fine, I have you, I'm with you and you and the children are safe. That is all that matters" she said honestly.

He nodded "Okay"

Maria smiled "Thank you" she replied quietly. She knew he was trying to be kind and thoughtful but at the moment she couldn't handle it, couldn't process it clearly. Too many emotions and feelings were cursing through her body, she could barely keep up with them, she couldn't handle her husbands, though kind, persistent watch at the moment. Not now.

Unconsciously she put her hands on her barely showing stomach and rubbed it, thanking god that they were both still here. Her mind went through what could have happened what did happen and coul… suddenly she gasped and sat up realizing with horror that he knew, that Max had practically yelled it at him, had yelled it at him.

"Maria?" he said panicked "What's wrong? What's happened?" he said nervously not sure whether to pull over or not.

She looked at him with fear and her heart pounded in her chest "I, nothing, there's nothing wrong, I just, i…" she couldn't finish, how was she supposed to approach it? She felt like she had betrayed him, she had gone on, continued without him, taking their unborn child into the field and...

"Maria, tell me, please" he said flashing his head lights to the other car before slowing down and stopping in a field close to some trees for slight coverage.

Maria saw what he was doing and panicked "No, Georg, stop this, you don't need to stop, keep going please Georg!" she begged but Georg ignored her and eventually took the key out of the ignition.

Shifting in his seat he looked at her "Maria Von Trapp we are not going anywhere till you tell me what's wrong. I know you've been through hell and back but so have I and I deserve to at least help you to deal with what you have been through. You don't get to do this alone anymore Maria, you married me and you don't get to hide everything anymore, so start talking" he said seriously, yet laced with such care it made her heart melt.

"I'm sorry" she whispered gripping her shot arm slightly. "I'm so so sorry" she wept.

Georg frowned, sorry? What was she sorry for? How could she be sorry? She hadn't done anything "I don't understand what you have done?" he said reaching over to her and taking her hands in his own.

Maria looked up with tears in her eyes "I betrayed you, I betrayed us. I gave in, I I gave up …"

He interrupted her quickly "You thought I was dead, I don't blame you for trying to move on, for trying to save yourself" he said stroking her cheek.

Maria's lips trembled "But I took… our child, our unborn child into a world of such danger" she sobbed, expecting him to greet her with a look of such hate. But to her confusion Georg smiled and his hands slowly descended to her stomach rubbing it gently and looking at her with awe.

"And I wouldn't have wished it any other way because it saved the both of you" he said pulling her over the obstacles between them and pulling her into his lap where Maria clung to him with such need.

"You aren't mad?"

Georg chuckled "How could I be?"

Maria sighed and closed her eyes "Never the less I am sorry" she said her head lying on his shoulder for a few moments before looking at him "Oh how I missed you" she whispered before gently kissing every crevice of his face and then capturing his lips passionately. Georg responded so clearly and with such reciprocating passion Maria felt as though his chest had opened up, his heart and soul on such blatant display that it made her ache with need.

Breaking apart slightly their breaths ragged "I missed you too, more than I could ever possibly say" he said before kissing her neck, prying her too big coat apart and sliding his hands inside.

Marias eyes closed and kissed any part of him she could reach as he stroked her body leisurely with such love and care.

His hands slid across her stomach again before tracing up her ribs and touching her breast, making Maria whimper and gasp, despite his light touch.

Mumbling against her neck he spoke "You're more sensitive" he said his voice husky.

Maria shut squeezed her eyes shut and gripped his shoulders as he stroked her nipple through the fabric, biting her lips not to cry out "I know" she gasped out "This is what happens apparently and I'm not even into the full swing of it yet" she said capturing his lips to somehow drown out the painfully delicious feelings he was causing.

Georg smiled into their kiss. He was going to be a father again. He was having a child with this amazing woman, this woman who had brought him back to life, no, shown him the meaning of life and what it was like to live again despite all fear and lack of hope.

He broke apart and looked into her dazzling eyes "We are going to be parents, you are carrying our child" he laughed with joy.

Maria smiled at touched her forehead against his, their lips so sensually close "Yes" she whispered touching his face gently.

Their breathing calmed slightly "I love you" he said simply, the words holding so much meaning that it did not need any other words before it of after it, just those three words.

Maria kissed his lips softly "And I you" she replied.

For minutes on end they just sat there holding onto each other, kisses landing everywhere and anywhere. Being kept away from each other to them had felt like being deprived of oxygen and now, back together, back in each other's arms they felt like they could finally breath again and oh what a feeling it was. It was like euphoria had engulfed them, peace, passion, love, longing, lust unexpressed happiness, all of it washing over them in waves.

Maria kissed her way up his jaw leisurely until she reached his mouth where their tongues tangled in a dance so foreign yet familiar. They kissed slowly, one kissing leading to another then slowly onto the second and sensually and almost languidly onto the third and fourth until they lost count, their hearts, souls and minds wrapped up in each other so much so that neither knew where the other began or ended.

Finally they broke apart, both of their needs and desires charged to an extreme level, oh how Georg wanted to kiss her again and so much more.

"I cannot express how much I desire to make love to you" he said stroking the underside of her breast.

"Then make love to me" she breathed out.

Georg shook his head and kissed her briefly "No, when we make love next, it will be in a bed where I can show you how much i missed you and we will not stop until you understand how much I did" he said kissing her again "I won't make love to you in a small cramped car, you my dear, deserve better"

Maria smiled "I missed you too" she said again kissing his lips softly before hugging him tightly and never wanting to let go.

Georg held her and stroked her hair "As much as I would love to just sit here with you on my lap we need to go, we need get back over the border"

Maria sat up and nodded "Okay" she said kissing him quickly before climbing reluctantly back into her own seat.

They soon set off again, idle chat drifting between them as rain started to pour. Due to the rain there were not may other cars around, granting them quicker access to Switzerland and the rain and mist obscured any sign of the car if any Nazi's were near, it had truly been a blessing. And soon enough they were across the border Maria closing her eyes and sighing in relief and pure joy!

They smiled as they approached the Inn but as they parked the worried faces of the other three and the two Inn keepers came running.

Maria frowned and looked at Georg who shook his head and shrugged before getting out of the car, Maria quickly following suit.

Maria smiled despite the glum faces and caught sight of Georg quickly entering the Inn before she approached the others.

"Helen, what is it that makes you look so worried?" Maria said as she neared her.

Helen shook her head and clutched at her chest "It's the children…"

Maria frowned and searched her gaze trying to find the answer to the unfinished sentence but found quickly she did not need to as Georg came running out of the Inn holding a piece of paper in his hand "They're gone" he breathed out.
