Hearts & Stars (A Paul Stanley X Tommy Thayer Rock & Roll Love Story)

Chapter 29- Late Night Talks & The Next Morning (Tommy Thayer-Stanley POV)

I am currently upstairs in our bedroom; it's getting late but I'm not sleepy. Just propped up in bed reading a book. Thankfully for me my morning sickness held off so I could eat today, hopefully means its going away. Paul is downstairs finishing up washing dishes, for we'd had a late dinner. The relative peace is broken by the phone ringing, with a slight groan I check and see its Bruce. Wonder why he's calling so late? Wonder if this has something to do with Ace?

"Hello? Bruce, everything ok? It's pretty late.", I spoke quietly tone a bit weary. Waiting for the other shoe to drop I suppose...Wait I wonder if this is about Bruce meeting with Ace? Maybe I should hear him out?

"Tommy, sorry I know it's getting late, but I had to call and tell you. I met up with Ace.", Bruce sounds really happy. Which means it went well, I assume. I am happy...but again weary but I did tell him as did Paul, if it went well maybe we'd talk to Ace based on Bruce's judgement. We will see.

"I take it from your voice it went well?", I inquired as I noticed my husband enter our bedroom and I mouth, 'Bruce'. Paul gets the message and sits beside me taking me into his arms, which feels good.

"Well, yes it did. I was very weary and scared he was fucking around with me, with my emotions at first. He'd called me first and we'd talked for awhile and then met up. I threatened to kick his ass if he stepped out of line. Tommy, I am telling you and I can tell with every fiber of my being...that Ace, he really has changed, that he WANTS to change. There was no lie in his eyes or body language, we will work on it together. He wanted to make amends with me and you guys.... oh! He realized he's never really loved Paul and that he loves me! He told me he loves me! And I confessed I loved him, so it turned into a date...a magical date!", Bruce gushes on the end part.

"Wow, that's...that's amazing to hear. I'm happy for you.", I say sincerely but with a hint of trepidation.

"I vouch for him, whole heartedly....and not just because I love him. I could tell he really means what he said about how bad he hurt you and Paul. He's telling the truth.", I let out a yawn at that.

"Sorry about that."

"Hey it's ok! I just wanted to call and tell you. Tell Paul too, ok? Take care!" Bruce says and then we say our goodbyes and hang up.

"So, what did Bruce say?" Paul asks playing with my hair. I sigh.

"Well, he met up with Ace and apparently it went well. It ended up being a date. But he said that Ace has really changed, wanted to make amends with him and us.... that he was truly telling the truth about everything. He vouched for him."

"I know you have to be weary or think this sounds too good to be true Tommy, be honest with me. Do you trust Bruce's judgement?" Paul asks now stroking my small baby bump gently.

"Yeah, I mean I trust Bruce...but it does sound too good to be true...I'm just afraid! I left you because of what Ace did! I just don't want him to hurt me anymore or us!", I start to cry.

"Oh, baby I know, I know. It's ok, we will be ok. We did say that we would trust Bruce's judgement. Ace won't hurt us anymore, I won't let him Tommy. I swear to you. So do we want to try & meet up then with Ace?", Paul plants a kiss in my hair.

"Yeah, we said we would based on Bruce's judgement. I want Bruce to be there, and I think him & Ace both know that it wouldn't stop either of us from in the very least cussing him out." I muse. I feel my husband pull away a bit but only to pull me back into a sweet kiss.

"Ok we'll call Bruce tomorrow or later today sometime then. Now, let's get you to sleep." Paul whispers and I nod and a few minutes later drift off....

I wake up the next morning in bed alone, I start to panic but quickly calm down by the sound of our bedroom door opening.... Paul and with breakfast!

"Oh, good Tommy your up! I made breakfast, so breakfast in bed!" Paul brings the tray over to the bed where I am now propped up and sits with me. I quickly give him a kiss.

"Thank you, star-shine! Breakfast in bed, looks & smells so good. You sir are quite the romantic!", I gush lovingly to my husband and his returning smile makes me melt as we start to eat.

"I love you Tommy and our twins, so much!", There is a slight catch in Paul's voice.

"We love you too! So much!", before long the both of us finish eating and finally I am full. I decide I want to take a bath. I get up from bed and start stripping, sort of kind of.... ok, I am teasing my husband, whose eyes rove over me hungrily. I soon stand naked before him.

"Well, Paul...do you want to join me in the shower?", I purr out silkily starting to walk away. I don't get more than a few steps before I hear his voice whisper hotly in my ear....

"Of course, I do...mmm, baby you're driving me wild. You know better than to tease."

Somehow, I just now realize he too is naked and too we start to make out heavily yet manage to make it into the shower. Paul attacking my neck with kisses, he pauses a moment though to brings his hands to my little swollen belly to caress it lovingly......Carefully the then picks me up and takes me against the shower wall where I scream myself hoarse, God do I love this man!

By some miracle we do manage to shower at some point.

Everything else can wait for a while, calling Bruce to meet up with him and Ace. I just hope our meeting with him turns out well. I can only hope.
