Shock My Love! ( An Ace Frehley/Tommy Thayer Love Story)

Chapter 29- Alive Worldwide Tour Break (Ace POV)

A/N: Break out those tissues! This made me misty & I wrote this! I included " Open Arms" by Journey....such a perfect song for this chapter! Enjoy!

I find myself chomping at the bit, for soon...but not soon enough I will at last after what seems an eternity be able to hold my Tommy in my arms. For today is the day, currently we are all on the Kiss jet headed for home. Tommy is now 7 months pregnant and how I have hated missing out on Doctor's appointments and the like, just seeing his belly, what will now be a much more swollen belly...but it's a beautiful sight, truly. I know it is, I know it will be. The sight of my lightning bug carrying our son, his body still growing to accommodate our child.... it's just beautiful. Just beautiful....

I'm brought out of my musings by Peter and then that causes Paul and Gene to bring their attention to me, "Spacing out again huh space-man? I know you Miss Tommy...we all do...You especially I know. He's what 7 months now? God, I miss Eric too! And our unborn twins. Speaking of twins, while we're on break supposed to find out what we are having!"

"It's been so hard, I mean I've felt like he's been with me, but still I have felt alone if I'm making sense. Well, it's just not been the same ya know? I knew going into this it was all part & parcel...of being in Kiss, the Rockstar lifestyle. I just can't wait to see my husband and ooh that reminds me, the nursery!" I sniff as I'm getting misty...well scratch misty, tears silently start to stream down my face.

"Oh Ace, we all know all too well...it's ok though. It's funny how when you're on the road how you want to be home, that's all you want. And speaking of the nursery....my foxy helped with that. Tommy took pictures I think my Eric said and cried....and then wouldn't quit hugging him for like 10 minutes!", Paul states eyeing me with concern but a smile on his face.

"Paul, I can't wait! Tommy wouldn't budge on details.... wanted it to be a surprise, but it's all good!", I whine but can't help the grin that spreads on my face.... This flight can't end soon enough. I'm coming lightning bug, I'm coming.... Tommy, Daniel I'm almost home to you.

Before I know it, we are on the ground, the plane lands and if I could I'd run straight home and that's no lie. We all exchange hugs and say our good-byes and head for our respective homes and our spouses and our children, unborn and otherwise.

It seems that I blink and I'm standing in front of mine and Tommy's house, luggage in hand and I unlock the door...and oh geez I'm already crying!

"Tommy! Baby, where are you...", Finally he comes into view and god, he takes my breath away! His belly much more rounded...it's just beautiful! He's beautiful! My heart stops for a moment and time slows....Oh the things you do to me! 

"Ace! Oh, I'm here.... we're here! Daniel & I...", Tommy sobs out and oh that does it...I drop my luggage wherever it may drop and carefully take him in my arms as best I can with his swollen belly between us & bury my face in his neck. I don't wanna let go! I'll never let you go, my love. Never.

"Tommy, Tommy is...are you real is this real? I feel like I'll wake up and this will all be a dream!", I whisper into his neck as he strokes my hair.

"Sparky, sweet sparky...I'm real. This is real...", Tommy replies very husky. I finally step back just enough to look into his eyes and finally thumb away his tears, his eyes shine...and I do something that I haven't done in  what feels like forever...I kiss him pouring all my love and longing into it, and the tears they still fall...but they are happy tears from us both, our love still strong...stronger than ever.

"I was hoping you'd do that sparky...oh, feel this! Our son is so happy!", Tommy takes my hands and places them on his stomach and sure enough Daniel is moving around, cutting flips, and kicking at my hands.

"Aw, god babe. It's like he knows...oh son...son I've missed you and your mother!", I laugh speaking to my son thru my tears & my brain kicks in as I realize that I smell food coming from the kitchen.... "Tommy, you cooked? That's sweet of you...lightning bug you didn't have to do that! You should be off your feet! But I'm glad you did..."

"Ace I'd do anything for you.... now get up those stairs, get comfortable and then we will eat.", Tommy' s smile lights up the room, I haven't let go of his baby bump.... Reluctantly I do so, but not before kissing him again and kissing the tender skin where our son Daniel lay.... I fly up the stairs and change into sweats & a t-shirt, my heart beating 1000 times a minute...

I make my way back down the stairs into our kitchen where Tommy is humming, "Shock me" and dishing up dinner. He turns to me and smiles, "Sit down Ace, I've got this...oh, I hope you like it! I made my favorite dinner on earth...the roast chicken, the salads, the cupcakes...I may've eaten 2 or 3, but still, there's plenty!"

I laugh, heart full..., "Aw, lightning bug you made our dinner! That's so special to me, to us! I love you so very much!" So, we sit and eat dinner, it's delicious! It's like we haven't been apart for 2 months. I can't help but keep staring at my husband, my beautiful husband, who causes him to blush and me to smirk knowing that I still have that effect on him, but it also makes me get misty again. It never gets old; I've never ever loved anyone like this.... I love Tommy more than ever and I always will. Soon, soon to I will be able to hold our son Daniel in my arms...in our arms. Forever shock my love...it's forever, this time I know it...no doubt in my mind...

A/N: Reunited at last!! Oh I can't wait to hear your thoughts! Much love!
