Shot in the Dark: A Mick Mars X Ozzy Osbourne Story

Chapter 24: Lovers Talk Part 3 (Nikki Sixx POV)

I find myself waking up with a start....and I realize I feel warm....and my eyes follow the owner of the arm draped carefully, so carefully across me....and reality hits me: Gene. Oh yeah.... it's not a dream, seems to still be dark outside.... I can't believe he's here with ME, that we're working things out or rather working towards working things out and His eyes never once left mine, his dark eyes full of tears, the guilt carved on his face, the Demon humbled. I didn't want him to leave after everything we'd talked about so far, I still fear him leaving me, but too I have hope....for the first time in my life, I have hope...everything he's put me thru, the pain, the hell....he's changed so much in a few months, he's continuing change....but those fears.....and my personal demons, saying 'he'll only hurt you again.'....and now the twins are beginning to move....and...and...

I groan quietly, more like a whimper...silent or so I think....

"Nikki?" Gene's deep baritone washes over me, and I cry.... cry like a fucking baby and next thing I know is I am sitting up, his arms wrapped around me.

"Y-You.... I believe you...am TRYING. But...the fear...I still feel like you'll leave me and hurt me again."

"Nikki, look at me...please." Softly begging, as I refuse, I feel a hesitant touch on my face before he and I both relax into it, this is all new to us after all and I find myself looking into his eyes. "I Swear I won't do that to you again...not anymore, but I understand why you have these fears, it will take time I know but...but I hope to work at it together, that's what I'd love and I believe we will do that now....and you look like you need more sleep...so let's get you back to bed huh?"

"Ok.... b-but the twins are moving...awake." I whisper, Gene it seems knows just what to do as he lays me back and begins to rub my stomach and singing a lullaby ....and its BEAUTIFUL...and gradually I find myself and the twins both calming....and I fall asleep once more.

And so time passes, Gene taking care of me....what ever I need, both of us shy and a bit awkward at times and Mick comes back for it's the next day and he warns i.e. glares/threatens Gene not to 'fucking screw up or fuck me over again, or they'll be hell to pay.', Gene had nodded solemnly promising to not do so, but I didn't miss the look of pain that flashed in Mick's eyes and how is voice trembled at seeing Gene and I together, my heart breaking because I know he's slowly I believe getting better but...it still hurts, because I know it reminds him of how things SHOULD be with him and Ozzy, but I find myself wondering if Ozzy will ever come around and I hope for Mick's sake he does, I really do...

But the time comes for my appointment, afternoon and I find myself with Gene in a waiting room just checked in....and Gene I note, only has eyes for me and gets me settled in a chair before sitting beside me, being so sweet...and I can tell a little nervous, this is a first for him and both of us in a way.

"Relax Gene.... I'm a little nervous too, I mean you're here with me....and hopefully the twins cooperate." I find myself saying, hands on my stomach feeling them squirm and kick...making me smile, the nerves go away.... I grab his hand and place it on my stomach, "Here feel this...."

I am rewarded with a smile, a look of wonder.

"Wow...this, this is amazing.... really it is..." A pause, "So I thought I'd ask...you said you came up with names for a boy and girl?"

I remember now, and I say, "Yes...um Sophie Alexandra and Nicholas Adam, probably call him Nick."

"Those names ARE PERFECT."

"I want them...well I hope...they can have your last name, if you want." I stammer and Gene surprises me with.... a dropped jaw, but he collects himself.

"After everything.... you'd, you'd.... YES, I would love that. They are OUR children." Softly. They are indeed, fucking finally I am called back, and I grumble loudly about having my weight taken and the whole preliminary crap and again fucking finally, Gene helps me up on the exam table.
