No chapters for awhile,me and my beta are busy and Hudson is 2 months old
Rick,turned the key in the lock trying to be as quiet as possible. He was back earlier than expected, and he wanted to surprise Kate. Since their fight, they hadn't talked much, and he felt terrible. He loved her more than any woman he'd ever encountered. He had to make things right.
It was two in the morning, the loft silent. He tiptoed over to the bedroom, but before he walked in, he heard crying coming from his wife. She was laying on her side, facing away from him, turning her engagement ring over and over in her hand. It broke his heart.
"Hey" He walked over to the bed slowly.
She never moved, waiting for him to be beside her. She held the ring close to her, trying to wipe the tears off her face.
"What are you doing, Kate? What are you thinking?" He was getting nervous at her lack of words.
"Is this working, Rick?" She looked at him, sitting up on one elbow. "I've felt so alone these past couple of weeks. I know you're working, but our son was just born and I'm here in this big, empty loft day after day and its so lonely. I want you here." A few more tears fell as she spoke.
"No, don't talk like that. Of course it's working. I would never let you go." He touched her cheek, looking her straight in the eye. He could tell she was getting nervous, letting her brain control her. It was the old Kate, someone who ran at the slightest sign of trouble.
"I just-" She didn't have any words, just continues to squeeze the ring in her hands.
"Kate, I love you more than anyone I've ever met. And I love Hudson just as much. I know I was away, and I shouldn't have been. I should have waited longer and been here the past two weeks. I'm sorry. And I don't know what you're thinking, but I will never leave you and I'll never let you leave me. We promised forever and always. Always." He pushed a lock of hair out of her face as he spoke.
Slowly, she slipped the ring back on her finger and looked him in the eye. "I just missed you a lot."
"I missed you so much, Kate." He kissed her and brought her into his a hug, trying to reconfirm how much her truly loved her. She was still emotional after the pregnancy, the feelings making her think things that weren't true. But that's why he had to prove to her that he was always going to be there for her, no matter what. "I love you."
"I love you too."
When they broke out of their hug, their noses touched. He rubbed his nose against hers while she traced his face. She kissed him on the lips and he kissed her back. He put his hand on her back, supporting her as he lowered her down on the bed.
