A/N: So excited for this one!!
Despite my worries about Tommy, which only ended up increasing...after the press conference and all, we all of us: past & present of Kiss went out to dinner. It was nice all of us catching up, just reminiscing and all. And of course, as I promised Tommy...once out of the spandex...well needless to say both Tommy & I were very, and I do mean very satisfied, and we ended up going several rounds.
2 weeks have passed since then and Tommy is STILL acting strange, I feel like I should know what's going on, but am still not sure. Something is wrong though, and I have a feeling soon enough I will find out exactly what's wrong....
Currently, I'm downstairs in the living room watching tv & poor Tommy is upstairs asleep. I'd insisted he take a nap, which it looks like he really needed. The phone rings and by the caller ID: It's Peter...I pick it up quickly, hoping I don't wake up Tommy. After this I'll go up to our bedroom and check on him.
"Hey ya Pete! How are you?", trying to make me tone upbeat and lighthearted, but Peter sees right thru that.
"Ace? What's wrong man? Why do you sound funny?", Peter is so concerned. Maybe I should just tell him my worries about Tommy.
I sigh before speaking, "Tommy's been acting strange for weeks now. I'm worried, he's pale, moody, snaps at me a lot, is quick to apologize and something's wrong, got to be. This, this isn't normal."
"Ace, um you don't think that he's...", Peter trails off.
"Don't think he's what exactly? ", I snap, and I swear I don't see it, but I know Peter flinches from my tone. "Sorry Peter."
"Ace it's ok. I'm not mad, you should talk to Tommy. It's not my place to say what I think it could be.... but I promise it will all be ok.", he assures me. I really hope so, I just don't Wanna lose Tommy, I already did once or almost do anyway...I don't want that to happen ever again.
"Ok, Pete I will...now let me go, so I can go check on him.", and with that we say our good-byes and Peter wanting to be updated on the situation and I head upstairs. My heart drops for a moment when I notice Tommy's not in bed before my brain decides to kick in when I hear retching coming from the bathroom.
Quickly, I open the door to find poor Tommy heaving the contents of his stomach into the toilet and briefly he comes up for air and he notices me...
"A—Ace...ugh I---", Tommy croaks out voice hoarse before he pales again, and I know what's coming so I gently pull his hair back as he once more gets sick. Finally, it seems to pass, and I take him in my arms gently as we sit on the bathroom floor.
"Tommy, please lightning bug...talk to me. What's wrong, something is wrong, you're sick and .... you've been acting strange for awhile now & all. I just want you to be ok, baby.", my tone gentle and concerned.
"Oh Ace, I feel like I should know! I am so sorry for how've I've been acting!", Tommy wails clinging tightly to me and I gently stroke his hair, before suddenly he pushes me away and yet again heaves into the toilet as I hold his hair back. Finally, though still pale he finishes and gently I help him up off the floor and to clean his mouth out as I then proceed to carry him back to bed and put him under the covers and I take one of his hands and lace his fingers with mine...
"Tommy, sweetheart...you don't have to apologize. We will figure out what's going on together, ok? I just want you to be ok, lightning bug!", I look at him and am taken aback at the tears in his eyes. Something else dawns on me...I wonder....
"Ace? You ok...you zoned out there for a moment.", Tommy looks concerned.
"Sorry babe, a thought just occurred to me...the way you've been acting and now with you getting sick. I wonder if maybe, do you think.... I wonder if you could be pregnant?", I drop my gaze and exhale nervously, I can't believe this thought just now occurred to me.... how would I feel if he were? I'd be thrilled, I'd never thought to have kids...didn't think...I would love for him to be carrying my child! I am scared I admit of possibly being a father, the tour & all, but we can do this if it turns out Tommy is pregnant. For him I would do anything.... I feel Tommy's free hand gently tilt my face up and he kisses me, and I let go of his hand and deepen the kiss and after a minute we part for air.
"I am scared Ace, what if I am pregnant? Would I be a good mother? What about the tour & all? ", Tommy fires his questions rapidly.
"Listen to me lightning bug, if you are, we will get thru this together! Same for the other stuff, there is only one way to find out...I'm making you an appointment & we will find out for sure. You will make an amazing mother! Don't doubt that...you're an amazing partner & I am proud to call you mine! Now let me make that appointment babe & you try & relax for a moment & I am gonna take care of you.", I kiss him again with all the love I possess as he then lays back & I proceed to make him a doctor's appointment & quickly take care of that...However, not too quick because Tommy is no longer in bed, he's once again in the bathroom heaving his guts out. Oh, my poor lightning bug!
I enter the bathroom and gently gather his hair back as he resumes puking and at last it finally passes once more & I help him clean his mouth out & all & then I proceed to strip him and looking at him earnestly...
"Lightning bug, how about a shower? See if that helps you...I'll join you, ok? I love you."
"Love you too, sparky. Sounds good...maybe I should try & eat...something I don't.... oh, for some reason I really want pizza suddenly from the place we went to on our first date & ....", I put a finger on his lips as we step into the shower together & I turn on the water to just the right temperature.
"If you are sure babe, then pizza it is...if not we can figure something out, ok?", I proceed to help him wash as he nods his assent. My eyes are drawn to his stomach & I swear there is the faintest hint of roundness to it.... please let this mean what I hope very much it means! In any case we will find out for sure, tomorrow.
A/N: Ace finally realizes Tommy could be pregnant, we will find out for sure next chapter! Hope you enjoyed this one! Much love!
