My Metal Angel (Vince Neil X Tom Keifer A Love)

Ch. 33: Baby, we're almost there (Vince Neil)

God, I didn't want mine and Tom's honeymoon to end!! It was perfect...perfect because we were together, in our own world...me, Tom and our unborn children. But all too soon, we had to go back home. Reality called, band stuff in the form of interviews and the like....which brings us to now, a month has passed and Tom and I have just left an appointment for our twins, Ashton and Vanessa and are driving home, everything looked good with the twins...they are so healthy, not gonna lie I cry every time I see them...I can't imagine that will change when I see them in person. I---

"Vinny?" Tom's voice breaks me out of my reverie, and it sounds small, making me worry.

"Yeah babe? What's wrong?"

"I mean.... it's just that I am 7 months pregnant now. The twins are likely to come early the Doctor said...It's just a lot." Tom sniffs, trying I can tell to keep his tears at bay, I reach for his hand with one of my free ones and gently squeeze his hand.

"I know it is babe, I know. It's so overwhelming for you, but I've got you.... right here by your side, gonna take care of you and them. And Tom? You're doing amazing by the way...I swear you get more and more STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL every day." Tom is at this point crying, and I feel tears in my eyes, but he aims at me a watery smile and before long we are home, where upon arrival, Tom declares he wants to lay in bed and so I change him into something comfortable and get him settled. "You need anything?" concerned about how tired he looks, just concerned period.

"I am just SO SORE!" He wails, "I can't sleep like this!!" My heart breaks at how miserable he is, so carefully I massage him all over taking my time, at last I am rewarded with a contented sigh and a smile. "Vinny, you have the touch.... thank you candy lips."

"Least I can do Tom."

"Cuddle with me?" Tom's eyes shine, now how in the hell can I say 'no' to that? I join him in bed, stripping down to my boxers...hands of course automatically drifting down to rest on his swollen stomach where I feel the gentle movements of our son and daughter.

"Their moving Tom...I tell ya I can never get over the feeling..." I state quietly, Tom...my Tom gets my true meaning, he is fucking made for me.

"I know Vinny...I feel the same. And you can touch my belly, touch ME anytime."

"THANK YOU." I whisper, after a few minutes I realize Tom has fallen asleep and so have our children, the appointment was this morning.... now it's mid-morning and a nap sounds great right now, besides even if I don't sleep, I cannot leave my husband's side.... i settle quietly but not before I whisper, "I love you Tom, I love our children...all three of our little angels." Then I drift off, my family very much on my mind......

I find myself waking, it seems to be later in the afternoon....and Tom is still sleeping...looking like the goddess he is, radiantly beautiful.... taking away my breath.

"Wow...how lucky am i?" I whisper. A moment later Tom stirs and his beautiful greys land on me. And I feel guilty...that I believe I may've woken him. "God.... sorry I woke you night Queen."

"You didn't wake me....and even if you did, I don't care.... I'm ok. We're ok." I am relieved at Tom's words.

"How are you feeling right now?" I ask, running a hand along his face gently before resting my hands as always on his stomach, his hands cover mine and I can't get over how cool he is, Fire & Ice....and I can't get enough.

"Tired as always...but less sore than before. You've got the magic touch Candy Lips." I am rewarded with one of Tom's GORGEOUS smiles. God, do I love my husband!

"Damn Right I do!" I quip before adding, "It's one of my best qualities besides my cheesy-ness."

Tom snorts in amusement, "You're lucky I love your cheesiness."

"Ah, but my little croissant...." I trail off before bursting into laughter, Tom joining in.

"God Vinny.... that was good.... i admit you got me!" Finally, it seems our children are awake, as they start moving and kicking, bringing tears to my eyes.

"They're moving.... Tom.... I...I mean.... it's a dream come true!" I cry, marveling at how amazing this all is.

"It really is.... thanks to you." My husband says softly. I tear myself away from his belly long enough to bring him into a kiss, loving the feel of his pillowy soft lips.

"Do you wanna get the fuck out of this bed? Or? Rest? I know you must be hungry.... I'm gonna fix whatever you want for dinner." I fire rapidly at my husband who merely chuckles.

"Yes, I wanna get the fuck out of this bed.... rest downstairs, doing the dance of 1000 pillows and I am really craving spaghetti, but I also want plums and salt." Tom is practically drooling towards the end.

I laugh but carefully help him out of bed, having him in a secure hold and first he needs to piss as he says, as we then head downstairs pausing ever so often since it's hard for him to move and he needs to rest....I get him settled on the couch, propped up by the 1000 pillows and massage his feet, kiss his belly and him before coming back with the plums he's craving and some salt, it was like giving him gold...it makes my heart so full taking care of him like this.

"I'm gonna fix dinner babe.... if you need me, I will come running. Love you."

"Love you too Vinny and sounds amazing.... you take the best care of me." Tom's eyes are a light grey, as if lit from within.

I get started on dinner, my thoughts as ever on my husband and my unborn children and Skylar...God, how she'd love dressing up the babies when they arrive! I wish she was here in person...I...

Suddenly I hear and see: Skylar.

"Hey daddy!"

"h-Hi...sweetheart. S-sorry got sad...I know honey you're with me...with us...but I still...wish you were here in person." Tears slip down my cheeks.

"Me know daddy....it ok to get sad, I know you a momma love me. Babies come soon; I know." I feel surrounded by her warmth, as I feel her little arms around me.... then she's gone...

She's my little guardian angel...always appearing when I or Tom needs her most.... She's watching over us...she's watching over us.

Before I realize it, dinner is fixed.... i fix a big portion for Tom and some for myself and Tom's worried voice comes to me...

"Vinny? You ok.... wait..." Tom's eyes widen in realization. "She appeared, didn't she?"

"Yes..." I whisper. "She hugged me.... i got sad, thinking about how I wish she were here in person, how she'd play dress up with Ashton and Vanessa.... she knows we love her and its ok to get sad she said."

"I feel the same." Tom sighs. "She's right.... she always appears in our dreams and when we need her most." My husband echoes my previous thoughts as we dig into our spaghetti.

The twins would indeed arrive early, at 8 months and 4 days into Tom's pregnancy.... Tom was freaked out, so was I... but I was there by his side for it all....

A/N: The twins will arrive next chapter!
