(Clementine's Pov)
I was talking with Violet at the hospital for her surgery we had waited months and they finally had a donor, now she did come a few days earlier so they could make sure when everything was ready to go, we didn't have to delay. She was currently in the hospital bed as the doctors were talking to her and they end up taking her to the surgery room and I was taken to the waiting room.
"Hey how is everything?" I hear and looked to see Louis, Ruby, Brody, Mitch, Aasim, Omar, AJ, My parents and Violet's mother and sister. But to my surprise I also saw Jane and Molly.
"They just took her back there; it'll be a few hours before they let her out." I tell them.
"Shit this is… pretty big." Molly says and I nod at this.
"So, she'll be able to see out of one eye?" Ruby asked and I look to them.
"They're going to take both her eyes out and replace them." I explained. I told them it would be best if we sat down and I take a seat that was closest to the door and I look to it.
"She'll be fine." I hear and look to her mother and I nod at this.
"I know, I know it's just… this could work or it might not… she's only getting this just so she could help me around the house if we have any little ones." I tell her and I hold my hands together.
"But then there could be a chance she'll go fully blind." I say as I looked to everyone.
"Knowing Violet it won't happen, remember we're The Lucky Bastards." Louis says and I laughed at this.
"Yeah… Lucky Bastards." I mutter and look back to the door.
"So, when do you plan on having little ones?" Her mom asked and all the girls came over to listen in and I couldn't help but smile and I look to them a bit.
"When Violet's eyes heal up… but she said she was taking me dancing before all that." I tell them.
"Such a romantic." Brody says and I smiled and nodded at this. Hours would pass and it got to the point where they had gone over their said time. A doctor came out and I go up to them.
"Her one eye was a little problem for us but we were able to remove it, and it is savable, they're still working on her." They inform me and I nod at this.
"Her other eye though?" I asked.
"Was easy to work with, we just finished it up." She says and I nod at this. This was good news.
"Now I do want to tell you that she won't be able to see instantly." She explained.
"Oh, I know this, I have everything ready for her, I have her white cane for her and I know she has medication she will need to take and even some eye drops as well." I tell her and she smiled.
"It's great she has someone so prepared to help her." She tells me and I nod. She heads back in and I go back to the others and explained what was going on, but that everything is going fine. We had to wait a few more hours before the surgery was finished and they allowed us to her room. I go in and see Violet laying on the bed, her eyes were covered and she was sleeping, or I think she was. Everyone stayed for a while but it was getting late and I stayed in the room with her as the last person left.
"They gone?" I hear and look to Violet a bit.
"Well how long have you been up?" I asked.
"When I heard Mama ask if you were going to make me a good homecooked meal." She laughed and I smiled at her. I take her hand gently and she held my hand as well.
"Well that was an hour ago." I say and she laughed a bit.
"Sorry I just wanted to talk to you first." She tells me and I nod at this.
"How do you feel?" I asked.
"Like my head will explode." She says and I was a little worried.
"Do I need to get a nurse?" I asked.
"Nah, didn't they say this could happen?" She asked and nod.
"Right, right." I say and she gripped my hand.
"Did anything bad happen?" She asked.
"Your one eye was being an ass but they worked with it." I joke and she laughed.
"The blind one?" She asked me.
"Yeah… but they said it was fine and that the eye was able to be removed and then the donor eye was attached." I explain to her.
"Hmm… they say what color they were?" She asked.
"Same as your old eye color, you got lucky." I tell her and she nods a bit.
"I feel bad though." She tells me.
"Why?" I asked and placed my one hand on top of both our hands.
"Someone… else had to… you know." She mutters and I nod as I figured out what she was talking about.
"Well, they wanted to do something before they left, think of it as… their gift… plus from what I hear a little girl got a new heart from this as well… think of it as a blessing in disguise." I tell her and she nods.
"I think I should be a donor too but… I can't." She says.
"Why is that?" I asked a little curious.
"Well for one, I ain't supposed to let any part of me be taken, even if it could save a life… old faith and all that… hell can't even separate my ashes." She tells me and I nod.
"But… I'd like to help someone along the lines." She says and I nod again.
"Well you do what you feel is right… I don't want you to think that what you are going to do is wrong or right, just what you think would help you or others along the way." I tell her and she gripped my hand a bit.
"I'll have to think on it, but right now… I'm just hoping I can see your beautiful face again." She tells me and I laughed at this.
"I'm not wearing anything nice and I look like a mess." I tell her.
"Bah, you my Angel are beautiful no matter what… when we first spent the night together, you woke up with messy hair and none of that make-up… you still look beautiful." She tells me and I kissed her head.
"Your head still hurting?" I asked.
"Hmm, don't care… need to know when I need to take my seizure medicine though." She mutters and I assumed that she was falling asleep so I get up gently and go talk to the nurse and they said they would find out for me. It wasn't long till I was able to take Violet home. She said she's been feeling tired so right now she was in our room sleeping and I was making something light for her to eat. Only thing she could keep down right now was some beef soup, it was easy to make and I was just putting in the meat.
"Clem?" I hear and hurried to the room to see Violet getting up.
"You ok?" I asked as she felt around with her hand and I go and help her.
"Bathroom… gonna… throw up." She says and I help her to the bathroom just as I helped her in she goes to the toilet and throws up. I rubbed her back gently as she kept vomiting and I just stayed with her.
"Fuck… hate this." She mutters and I kept rubbing her back.
"I know sweetheart." I tell her and when she was done she moved so she was still near the toilet and I take a seat next to her.
"You think you can stomach some soup? It'll be done in thirty." I tell her.
"Maybe… not sure." She says and I feel her head a bit.
"How do your eyes feel?" I asked.
"Hmm to warm." She mutters and I think as I grabbed some bandages and some stuff to help with her eyes.
"I'm going to take the bandages off." I tell her and she nods a bit. I slowly take the bandages off and look at her eyes a bit. Her eyes were black and blue from the surgery and I helped clean her eyes a bit. When I was done, I wrapped her head with the new bandages and I gently pat her shoulder before she threw up again and I rubbed her back.
"I should call the doctor." I say as I get up.
"No." She says then throws up again.
"Vi-."
"No, I'm… I'm fine just… I think I have a fever." She says and I sit back down next to her.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah just… no infection, right?" She asked.
"Not from what I saw, but I really think you should go see a doctor." I tell her.
"In a bit… just… house call though." She says and I nod at this. I couldn't say no to this, she would get angry if I took her to the hospital, unless it was an emergency.
"Sorry just… don't want them to… think I did something wrong." She tells me.
"You didn't do anything wrong." I tell her and she nods a bit as she moved away from the toilet.
"I'm going to check on the soup, you think you can wait just a minute?" I asked and she nods.
"Could… could you call and ask what we need to do if I get worse though?" She asked.
"Do I need to take you in?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"No just… never mind." She says and I look to her.
"Ok, no we aren't doing this, come on I'm taking you to the hospital." I say as I went to help her up but she moved a bit.
"I'm fine just… I'm fine." She tells me.
"Violet do not make me use your full name." I tell her.
"You wouldn't." She says.
"Violet Marie Everette I am taking you to the hospital." I tell her and she groans at this.
"Not the full name." She mutters and I couldn't help but smile as I helped her up and to the room. I got her a trashcan and told her to wait as I called my father. She nods as she hugged the trashcan. My father was able to help me take her to the hospital and before we left, I made sure to take the soup off the stove. When we arrived, Violet threw up in the trashcan a few more times. When we got in, she was taken to a room as they checked her over.
"When was the last time you ate?" They asked her.
"Hmm, last night but it was just soup." She mutters.
"Have you been running a fever since then?" They asked.
"No, just a few hours ago." She tells them and I look at her. The doctors look at me and I nod at this.
"And she's only had soup?" They asked me.
"Yes, she wanted something light, she has no allergies, and I got her to eat some meat… could there be an infection?" I asked.
"Well, she did have surgery not that long ago, we're going to take you to get a scan alright Violet?" They asked her and she nod as they take her away.
"Is she going to be, ok?" I asked.
"We will check and then tell you." They tell me and I nod as they take me to the waiting room.
"You doing ok Sweetpea?" I hear and look to my dad as he handed me a coffee.
"Yes, thank you, just worried about Violet." I tell him.
"Comes with marriage, bet she gave you a hard time?" He asked.
"She was worried they'd say she messed up somehow… I don't get it, we made sure to change her bandages, we cleaned her eyes gently, I just don't get it." I mutter as I looked to him and took a drink of my coffee.
"Ah, got it." He says and we waited. Wasn't long till we were informed that Violet just had the flu and I was relieved that it wasn't an infection. They let us take her home and I take her to our room to let her rest. I made sure the trashcan was by the bed and I went over to the soup pot and got to work on trying to save it. Once done I was able to bring a bowl to our room and I take a seat next to the bed.
"Fucking flu? I'm not coughing, or sneezing… fucking flu." She mutters and I smiled at her sadly.
"Sometimes you don't need a cough or sneezing to have the flu." I say as I helped her up.
"Now come on, they said you should have plenty of liquids." I tell her and she sighs but nods. I fed her some soup and she hummed in joy and I smiled.
"You make the best soup." She says and I smiled.
"Now don't be a flatterer I got some crackers and ginger ale for you as well." I tell her and she nods.
"Stupid flu… making me think something was really wrong." She mutters and I laughed.
"Just be glad it was the flu and nothing serious." I tell her and she nods.
"Yeah… just… stupid." She mutters and I helped feed her more.
"Well, it gives me an excuse to help you." I tell her and she laughed a bit.
"Well by all means." She joked and I smiled a bit. I kissed her cheek gently and I set the empty bowl to the side and she grabbed for my free hand and I held her hand.
"I was worried it could have been my eyes if I have to be honest." She tells me.
"Same here but good thing it's not." I tell her and she smiles a little.
"I'm going to get some sleep… sorry." She tells me.
"No, it's fine." I say and kissed her head gently. She laid back down in the bed. I stayed with her a bit and rubbed her head gently as she fell asleep and I go and take the dishes to the kitchen. I cleaned them up and I make me some tea and a bowl for myself. I decided to eat in the kitchen and when done I got to work on cleaning and planning out what to make Violet for the next few days. We had to be careful with her medication if she was just going to throw it all up again. She had gotten a bit better and when done she decided that she wanted to just go outside.
"It feels nice outside." She says and I held her hand gently. Her Parole Officer had come to visit her since Violet couldn't go in at the moment. It was a good meeting; Violet had asked if this would effect on whether we could adopt at any point which sadly it does.
"Stupid people, males and females who go on parole can have children all they want with each other but when we want to adopt, suddenly it's an issue." She mutters and I hold her hand gently.
"They just want to make sure any child that gets adopted go to a good home." I tell her.
"But I'm a good person… ain't I?" She asked.
"Of course, you are." I tell her. She takes a breath and sighs.
"I'm sorry I messed things up." She tells me.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked her.
"I mean… what if… it's just… forget it, I don't want to talk about it." She says and I kissed her hand gently as she just kept her face facing to the pond. The ducks were having fun swimming around and I lay my head on Violet's shoulder.
"Don't be thinking negative thoughts, just think, we go to the doctor and get your bandages off, and then we head to the other doctors to help us start a family." I tell her and she laughed a little.
"Yeah… but what if… the whole thing doesn't work? And we only can adopt?" She asked and I think.
"There is a way I could file as a single parent, they do allow that so long as I make a good income, and with Grandma Everette helping me open up my bakery." I say and stopped talking as I look up to her.
"Speaking of, when does the shop open?" She asked.
"In a few more months, the building has many repairs needed." I tell her.
"Do you need-."
"I am not using your money for this." I tell her.
"Come on, I have enough saved up." She tells me.
"I understand but just like you I have my own pride in paying for things on my own." I tell her.
"You haven't taken out a loan, have you?" She asked. I kept silent and she sighed.
"Clementine, people make you take a loan because they hope you can't pay it off." She tells me.
"Do you think my bakery won't make it?" I asked.
"No just… we both known about the issues people have been destroying black owned businesses." She says and I sighed. Yes, the news has been talking about how they were busting windows and robbing black owned stores these past few years.
I know what I'm doing, I can pay off the loan in a few months after it opens up." I tell her and she sighed.
"Well… if you need help paying it off, I don't care, you can use some of my money… just let me come in from time to time for free samples." She tells me and I laughed at this.
"Alright, alright, I get it, and here I was about to let you have those samples for free." I tell her and she fake gasps.
"I've been bamboozled." She says and we both laughed at this.
"But I'm serious Clementine, I'll help out don't be ashamed to let me help." She says and I wave it off.
"I know you will, I will ask if I'm really desperate." I tell her.
"No, not when you are really desperate, if you think you might not be able to pay even a quarter you tell me." She says and I nod.
"Alright, I hear you loud and clear Seargent." I say and she laughed at this as she grabbed me and I couldn't help but laugh. She pulled me to her and I look at her. I kissed her and she kissed me back. A few more months would pass and Violet finally got her bandages off. The room had been dark so they could slowly adjust her eyes. It took a while but when the light was on as high as it could be I looked to her and she takes a breath.
"Alright, how do you feel? What can you see?" The doctors asked and she looked around the room and then when her eyes landed on me, she smiles a big smile and I smiled back.
"I see a beautiful woman." She says and I laughed and then realized. She can see, she can see so I get up and give her the biggest hug I could. She laughed as she hugged me back and I kissed her on the cheek.
"You can see." I say and she nods.
"Still a little blurry but I can see." She tells me.
"Yes, well that will go away with time, just wear these when you go outside, and then come back in about two weeks for a checkup." The doctor explained.
"Yes, yes, thank you so much." Violet says excited and I hold her hand. We left to go home and once inside she was able to take the glasses off and I take a seat next to her and she just looked to me.
"What?" I asked her.
"I don't want to ever take my eyes off you." She tells me and I laughed and kissed her and she kisses me back.
"How are your eyes feeling?" I asked her.
"The fact that I can see makes this all the better." She tells me and I smile at her. She looked down to me and smiled as well.
"In two weeks… we can go dancing in two weeks, I'm excited for this." She says and I could hear it in her voice. I look to her more and saw the scaring around her eyes. It was from not only the chemical burns but from her surgery as well. I place my hand to her cheek and she looked to me a bit and gave me a sad smile.
"Ugly scars." She says.
"You haven't looked in the mirror." I tell her.
"They have to be ugly if you look sadden." She tells me and I look to her.
"It just means you've been through a lot, but regardless you made it through whatever life threw at you and came out better." I tell her and she looks to me.
"You should smile more; I want to see you smile more." She tells me and I kissed her cheek.
"I will in due time, I am happy you got your sight back." I tell her and she held my hand. The weeks would pass and her sight had gotten better she just needed some glasses to help with her vision which she didn't mind at all. And I must say she looked really good with glasses.
"Oh, does Clementine like me wearing glasses?" She asked and I kissed her.
"I must say you do look sexy with them." I tell her and she turned red at this and looked away.
"Hush." She tells me and I laughed at this. She laughed as well and then I whispered to her.
"You do look sexy though, I can't wait for tonight." I tell her and I look to her face to see she had gone red again.
"Our wedding night is coming up." I tell her and she cleared her throat a bit.
"Dear lord." She whispers and I laughed as I held her hand.
"Did I marry an Angel or a succubus?" She asked and I couldn't help but laugh as I held her hand gently.
"Can't I be both?" I asked as a joke and she looked to me as we walked around a bit.
"I have not heard of such a thing." She tells me and I look to her.
"But I don't mind it." She says and I giggle at this.
"I heard they have a new place open for dancing, would you like to go?" I asked and she nods as we keep walking.
"Yes, when?" She asked.
"How about our wedding anniversary? Seems like a good idea." I offered and she nods.
"Isn't that tonight?" She asked and I nod.
"Yes, it is… shall we get you a new suit?" I asked.
"Is the place really fancy?" She asked.
"A little, but that is only if you want, your other suits should be fine." I tell her.
"Would you like to go and get some new outfits?" She asked.
"Only if you want." I tell her and she nods.
"Of course, you deserve something nice." She tells me and we head into a clothing store. I look at her as she was looking at a nice suit and I come up to her.
"Looks nice." I say and she nods.
"Ah yes it's an excellent choice sir, care to try it on?" We hear and look to see a man as he looked to us.
"Oh, uh yes please." Violet says as she deepened her voice a bit. If I have to be honest, I wish she didn't have to do that when we were out in public looking for men's clothing for her. After she tried the suit on, I look at her and God I wanted to take it off of her. She looked to me and turned a little red and I smiled at her. We carried the suit with us around the store and we looked for a dress from me.
"I think this looks beautiful on you." Violet tells me as she showed me a nice red dress.
"A little flashy don't you think?" I asked as I go up to her.
"Flashy? No, sexy on you… yes." She says and I look to her.
"Look at you making perverted jokes like that, I knew you weren't so pure in mind." I tell her and she smirks at me.
"Do you two need some help?" I hear a woman ask and we look to her.
"Yes, my wife and I are looking for some nice outfits for dancing for our wedding anniversary." Violet tells her.
"Oh, how many years have you been married?" She asked as she helped us.
"Four years now." I say to the woman.
"Oh, my and have you two any children?" She asked as she held a dress for me to look at.
"Oh, we have been trying for a few months now, just wanted to wait till we were ready for children." Violet says and I turned red at this.
"My very responsible, and I hope you two the best." She says as she showed us another dress and I had to agree it did look nice.
"Yes, plus I wanted some free time with my wife before our children take her attention." Violet says and the girl laughed at this.
"Oh, a man who loves his wife, I wish my husband was like you, the moment we were married we had to get right into making a baby." She tells us.
"How many children do you have?" I asked.
"We have two girls and one boy, they were triplets." She says.
"Oh my, please tell me your husband helped you during your pregnancy." I say.
"Oh, sadly no, but his mother was the best when it came to help, she had so many children before she knew how hard it was." She says.
"With the number of men and women that died over seas I'm surprised you two haven't had children though." She says and I look to Violet.
"Oh, trust me my mother has been asking when we will have children, told her to be ready for a full army of grandbabies to pamper." Violet says and I laughed.
"A full army, my that is a big order for you." The woman says as she looked to me.
"Oh, he's just messing with you." I say.
"No, I'm not, I want plenty of children to spoil, and you know I am willing to help." Violet tells me and the woman.
"Oh well I do hope you do help your wife if you want a whole army of children, I would hate to see her being the only care taker." She says and Violet laughed at this.
"I do plan to help my wife; she has helped me so I should help in return." Violet says and I looked to the other dress she showed me.
"You are a lucky woman to have a husband like him." She tells me and I smile.
"Don't I know it; we use to work together overseas." I say as I nod to the dress.
"Oh, you two are soldiers?" She asked and we both nod at this.
"Yes ma'am, two of the best damn snipers they had." Violet says proudly and I smile at her.
"Well, I should thank you for your services, did you two meet overseas?" She asked as we went to pay for the outfits.
"Yes, we did, she has saved me plenty of times… that's why I had to marry her, who wouldn't want a strong woman to be with?" Violet says and the girl smiled.
"Yes, in deed, well I hope you two have fun, and if you do end up with child come visit, we help with maternity clothing and children's clothing as well." The girl says and I nod as we leave the shop. When we headed back home, we told Lee and the others we would be heading out for the night, they said they would keep an eye out on the ducks and we went home to get dressed for the night.
"An army of children." I laughed as I helped Violet with her tie.
"Why not? I want to spoil our children, any children we have, born from you or adopted, let them have good lives." She tells me and I smile as I finally fixed her tie.
"I know." I say quietly and then Violet picks me up.
"I must say when we are done dancing tonight, I do hope we could go through the process of making a child." She says and I laughed at this.
"Put me down, and if you are good, we can have your fun." I laughed as she spun me around a bit.
"I'm just so damn happy Clementine, I get to see my wife's beautiful face, I get to help my wife raise children she will have or children we adopt, it's amazing how far medicine has gone to help me see again and be happy once again." She says and she stopped spinning us around and I kissed her on her lips. I was glad she was happy, it made me happy when she was happy. The fact that medicine has come this far makes me wonder how many others are happy.
"I love life right now, it's amazing, amazing to be alive in this time." She tells me quietly and I kissed her again and again. We were able to make it to the dance studio and we were let in. The music was being played by a live band and Violet took me to the dance floor. It was such a fun night. It was an amazing night for us. I don't think I have ever seen Violet this happy, since the war she had kept to herself, she was hesitant at some points to talk or to show emotions, it seems like she feels like she has a new lease on life. With her eyes working, she became happier.
I know she felt bad about her eyes, the scars before her surgery, but now, now she seems like she was when we had been to the beach on our days of leave together. When we first confessed our feeling with each other. Like she was a teenager again. If I was honest, I was happy that she was happy.
"Clementine, is it wrong for me to want to take another wedding photo with you?" She asked as we slowly swayed to the music.
"You want to take another one?" I asked.
"I would like at least one with my eyes all better, I don't want you to think that I will burn our old wedding photo no that cannot happen, but to have one where I can look at my wife and see her smile, I would love to have that in our photo album." She tells me and I smiled at her.
"Well at least you aren't asking for a redo wedding, I don't think I could do all that again." I say and she laughed.
"No just the photo of you and I, just one is all I ask." She says and I nod.
"That seems fair, oh and I forgot to say to you but I do hope you can come to the bakery's opening." I say to her.
"I wouldn't dare miss that, what kind of husband would I be if I wasn't there for my wife's achievements?" She asked and I giggled at this and kissed her cheek.
"Well, I don't have a husband, I have a handsome wife." I whisper to her and she held me closer to her.
"Aren't you a bold one." She says and I smiled at her. I look to her as she looked to me and I kissed her on the lips.
"I wouldn't mind taking you home tonight… our home." She says and I look at her as she looked to me.
"Yes, our home." I say and I look to her. I started to worry a bit as she looked a little ill.
"Vi?" I asked quietly and she looked to me.
"Are you ok?" I asked as I cupped her cheeks gently. She didn't answer as she held onto me and placed her head to my shoulder.
"I... I'm sorry." She says.
"Are you feeling ill?" I asked and she shakes her head.
"I just… I'm so sorry." She says and I take her outside to get some fresh air. What was wrong? She was so happy just a few seconds ago.
"Violet." I whisper to her and she held me tighter.
"Do I make you happy?" She whispers to me.
"Of course, you do, Vi what's going on?" I asked a little worried.
"You… I can't give you any children." She says and I feel my chest tighten at this. Was that why she was worried? She knew this before.
"Come on, let's go home." I say and she nods and I take her to the car. She laid her head on the window as I started the car up and began to drive us home. I held her hand gently but she didn't tighten her grip. Her hand was limp and I would look to her as she just kept looking out the window. I rubbed my thumb on the top of her hand and that didn't do anything. When we finally got to the house she didn't move and I gently place my hand on her shoulder. That was when she looked at me and I could see the tears in her eyes. I gently cupped her face and she laid her cheek on my hand and closed her eyes.
"Violet." I say to her.
"I… I robbed you of a proper family." She cried and I see her eyes tighten a bit as she tried to keep the tears back. I moved so I was closer to her I moved my hands so I could hug her.
"Vi, what makes you think that?" I asked.
"I'm no man… I'm not a man, and I can't give you a proper family, I've sinned." She says and I look to her worried.
"Hey, hey listen to me." I say but she didn't move her head.
"You did nothing wrong, you and I both know we agreed to adopt if the doctors-."
"We can't adopt because I'm a fucking nutcase." She cried and I look to her sadly.
"You aren't-."
"I beat him… I broke his jaw, I had to be sent away because I went crazy like a rabid fucking animal… if they find out that… that you married me… they'll tell you no, they won't let you adopt if they find out you married a screw up like me." She says and her breathing became a little rapid. She was having a panic attack so I moved so her head was on my chest. I tried to talk calming breaths but seeing her like this just broke me. She was happy and now she was panicking? I feel her grip my shirt so tight I thought it would rip.
"I can't… I can't breathe." She says between breaths and I place my hand to her ear so she could listen to my heart beat. I looked to her watch as it gripped my shirt.
"Shh, it's ok, you did nothing wrong, everything will be ok, we will have our own little family, just think, you holding our child in your arms, you'll be a proud parent showing off our kid to our friends and family… a little boy or girl." I tell her but she still had a tight grip on my shirt.
"We'll have so much fun in life, even if we don't have children, it's ok." I tell her. I was being truthful, even if we didn't have children, I would be happy. I look to her watch a bit as her grip loosened a bit and I feel her shake her head.
"I'm sorry." She mutters and I look down to her as she kept her head on my chest.
"Why are you sorry?" I asked.
"I ruined tonight." She says and I looked down at her sadly.
"You didn't, Violet you just got sad, it's ok." I tell her.
"Why be with me if I keep ruining nights like this?" She asked quietly and I moved my hand but she grabbed it and placed it back to her ear gently.
"It happens, I know it will happen, nothing will change this, I still love you, and I will always be here for you." I tell her.
"I really did marry an Angel." She says quietly and I kissed her head gently.
"You're to good to me." She says and I place my head on hers.
"You're good to me too… I love you so much Violet, and I wish I could take your pain away." I tell her and she shakes a bit with tears and I just held her to me. When she was calmed down enough, I helped her inside and we got changed. She just wanted to wear her boxers with a white shirt and I got into my night gown and I laid in bed with her. She moved so she could hold me and I moved closer to her. Her chin was on my head as I was close to her chest. I could feel her own heart beating, it wasn't fast which was good.
"I'm sorry." She tells me tiredly.
"If you keep saying that word it has no meaning, so stop apologizing for things out of your control." I tell her and I feel her nod just a little.
"I… I love you." She tells me before she finally fell asleep and I moved closer to her. I could feel her hold on me tighten a bit. After a while it loosened as she finally fell asleep.
"I love you too." I whisper to her and finally fell asleep myself.
