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

Chapter 33- Six Spaced Months (Tommy Thayer-Stanley POV)

Two months have passed, and my belly is bigger than ever before. I really miss the sight of my feet, I have to say. The girls are really doing well, they are growing at a healthy rate and that's all I can ask for that and my beloved husband: Paul. Paul who has been working on the nursery for the past month and I have yet to see it, he wants to surprise me. Currently I am downstairs on the couch, eating some cravings and watching tv. Paul is upstairs in the nursery.... I feel my daughters squirm around inside my swollen stomach and so I rub my belly and then they both start to kick at my hands.

"Hey there, you two. Gosh, you girls are precious little angels and you're not even here yet. Really need to think of some more names. Oh, daddy is upstairs working on your nursery."

"They are precious angels and daddy is right here...and we do need names." Paul whispers into my ear lovingly, my husband then joins me on the couch cuddling close to me and entwines his hands with mine over my swollen stomach.

"Are you done for now? When can I see it?" I can't help but whine.

"I am done completely; the nursery is finished. When your ready we can go upstairs and see it." Paul says.

"Let me finish this food first. And I can't wait to see it!" I exclaim excitedly but then sigh, "It's not too much longer now. I'm six months."

"I know Tommy, I know.... you are six months and doing so well. Your worried though I know about giving birth, the pain, the girls coming early.", Paul is EXACTLY right. "I promise you; everything will be fine my space-prince. I'll be right by your side. Now are you ready to see the nursery? And Tommy, I love you."

"I believe you star-shine and I love you too. Now help me up?", I grin at my husband who then brings me into a kiss before helping me up and carefully helping me up the stairs. When we reach the nursery door, Paul tells me to close my eyes...I pout playfully, before doing so and I hear the door open, and Paul gently takes me by the hand and slides his arm around my very ample waist.

"Ok Tommy, you can open your eyes now." I feel us stop.

I open my eyes & gasp, shades of pink, purple and grey run thru out the room, accents of cream. Two changing tables, two cribs, comfy chairs to sit in, rock the girls in.... truly it's beautiful! Tears stream down my face, I am just stunned! I feel Paul tilt my chin up....

"Tommy don't cry baby."

"I'm crying because it's just SO beautiful! Thank you for doing this! This is such a special place! It's perfect!", I sniffle.

"I am glad you love it, Tommy! I wanted to make this perfect for you, for our girls. I love you." Paul then seals my lips with his and I get hypnotized by their perfect rhythm. We unfortunately have to part for air, Paul slides his arm around my waist, hand on my swollen stomach, "Now you want to sit down in here for a bit?" I nod eagerly as he helps me to one of the comfy chairs and sits beside me.

"So, star-shine, I've been thinking maybe we should think on some more names for our daughters." I rub my belly gently...I feel gentle kicks at my hands.

"I agree, Tommy.... have any more in mind? I have some names too.", Paul reaches over and joins me in rubbing my belly and I melt.

"Well, I really like Elizabeth and Beth, Sarah Jane, Alexandra." I state quietly.

"I think Sarah Jane sounds perfect. So, one daughter will be Sarah Jane Stanley. Now for the other: maybe Eliza Beth? Or Amanda Beth? Or Carrie Beth?", Paul muses.

I chuckle, "Sounds like you really want Beth for a middle name. sounds perfect, how about Carrie Beth?"

"Carrie Beth it is then, Carrie Beth and Sarah Jane. Perfect names, perfect angels...because their mother is perfect." Paul is making me blush.

"I'm not perfect Paul." I grumble suddenly feeling hormonal and very emotional and so I cry once again.

"Tommy look at me." I do so reluctantly, "You ARE perfect. Your beautiful, and glowing. You've always been beautiful. You always will be."

"Paul.... that-that was SO beautiful!!", I wail as I feel him dry my tears, "Can we eat now?"

Paul laughs at my sudden declaration, "Of course we can! Do you want to go downstairs and lay on the couch?" I nod eagerly, and he helps me up and downstairs to the couch, where I am propped up by 1000 pillows and my feet are also propped up. "So, what are you in the mood for? You & our little Carrie Beth and Sarah Jane?"

I smile at the mention of our daughters' names and reply with, "Well we are the mood for apples and olives to snack on and oooh, would love some baked chicken and roasted potatoes and oh dessert too!"

"Sounds good Tommy, let me get you the snacks and then I'll get started on the food, ok?" Paul states getting off the couch and giving me a fond smile.

"Ok Star-Shine." Paul then disappears into the kitchen and quickly comes back with olives and sliced apples, kisses me then heads back into kitchen to fix something to eat. I really do have the best husband in the world. I turn on the tv, which thankfully the remote is where I can reach it, but quickly I get lost in my thoughts.

Paul, there is no one else but you I'd want to be on this journey with. Sure, I am scared at the pain I know will come with the birth, that our daughters may come early. But I know I can do this with you beside me, my beloved husband....my Star-Shine. Ooh, these apples and olives are delicious!! And he brought me plenty!! Paul is the one whose perfect, the perfect husband, the perfect partner, the perfect lover.....soon, our daughters will be here and I cannot wait!
