The Heart of Mars & The Heart of Space (A Mick Mars/Tommy Thayer Love Story)

Chapter 31-Not Long Now (Tommy POV)

A/N: On a writing roll tonight!!

Another month had passed, the nursery was all ready and even my overnight bag and the baby bag for the hospital was ready. It wouldn't be too much longer. I am currently in the nursery sitting in a rocking chair, feeling my daughters squirm around and kick me. I sigh rubbing my very ample belly. Suddenly the relative tranquility is broken by Mick rushing in and saying, "It's finally happened! Here let me put this on speaker." I look at him confused...

Then I hear, "Uh dudes? Um We've been calling everybody and social media stuff and all! Eric and I have some news!". Lee sounds so excited and I can hear Eric squealing gleefully. I look at Mick and he smirks and so do I...I bet that this means what I think it means!! And how did I not check social media again? Or whatever?

"Um, Lee and I wanted to be sure first, but we wanted to tell you guys that I'm pregnant! About 6 weeks! So far everything is healthy!", Eric exclaims excitedly.

"It's about damn time! Congratulations man to both of you! Now be careful Eric just may pop out those quintuplets after all!", I teased them. Mick smirked.

"Whatever dude, I am so happy!", Lee exclaims which is followed by kissing sounds. Oh, those two! The phone call ends soon, and Mick sits down beside me in the other chair and takes my hand and brings his lips to mine in a lingering kiss. I melt.

"Surprised honestly this didn't happen sooner. Can you imagine the child of two of the world's most hyperactive drummers in existence? Everyone will make those two babysit their kids now", Mick laughs in amusement and I do so along with him.

"I feel the same way! And we think we won't get any sleep with our girls! I can't wait to see the child those two will have! I had the feeling it would happen around the time I give birth or close to it." I chuckle in amusement then wince as one or both of my daughters kick me harshly.

"Ouch! Easy there, Thalia and Adriana! That hurt mommy!", I exclaim sounding very much exasperated. Mick rubs my belly in slow firm circles and gradually the girls calm down.

"Hey! How come they listened to you?", I whined.

"I'm their father, and they seem to love to give their mother a hard time.", amusement lacing his tone.

"Yes, they do I agree but all this has been so worth it. It is worth it...Mick, baby I'm so scared of giving birth and I get the feeling little Thalia and Adriana will come early...", my voice quivers.

"Tommy, it will be ok space-babe. I promise no matter what happens if our daughters come early or not. I promise you everything will be ok & I'm scared too; I just want everything to be ok and god I can't lose you!", Mick states worriedly.

"You won't lose me! I'm just nervous and twins can arrive early and all. It's just really gonna hurt! And it won't be long now, and I am ready for them to be here." I sigh.

"Everything is ready, now all we have to do is wait." My husband says still rubbing my belly.

"Now. You look tired babe.... You need a nap.", he states concerned.

"I don't want a nap Mick!", I snapped which I immediately regret. I really hate mood-swings. I can feel my lips quivering and tears fall before I can help it. Mick quietly and carefully helps me up and puts me in bed, where he sits next to me.

"I—I am SO sorry Marsy! I am sorry I snapped at you. You're right, I need rest and you're just looking out for me, being this pregnant with twins really tires me out." I end with a yawn.

"Thomas Cunningham Thayer Mars! I know you can't help it. I don't take it personally, your pregnant and your hormones are all over the place. I want you and our daughters to be healthy and get rest. I love you so much!", Mick looks at me his eyes darkening to cobalt and shining with love.

I sigh with contentment before again speaking, "Oh Marsy, I know baby I know, and I love you too!" I yawn yet again, and Mick lays down beside me and together our hands entwine over my swollen belly and I give into sleep as my eyelids grow heavier, but before I drift off, I swear I hear Mick whisper, "My loves...I am here for you always." I know I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
