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

Chapter 28: Need you Tonight-(The next Day) Part 2

Ozzy and I, our gazes are locked on one another, I can feel tears streaming down my face. He has his tears in his eyes, THOSE eyes. I see in them regret; hurt for the pain he's caused me. I SEE IT, but I also see.... the love, but then I don't want to get my hopes up.... look what the fuck happened before, so I'd just asked that he's still here? His hands on my stomach and I feel the baby kicking, my back hurting like hell but I have to say....

"I.... I.... You're not gonna leave me again, are you? S-Sorry! I know...I know...." I break down, and the next thing I know is slowly those arms, I know so well wrap carefully around me as I sob into his chest, feeling soothing circles rubbed on my back....and reality hits me. It was just like the dream I'd had...except this WAS real. It was real, he really did call me in the middle of the night, and I needed him, I needed him.... was so desperate for sleep, just desperate period...he calmed down our daughter, but I fear.... i can't help but that this will all disappear.... although, he did come to me, for me and maybe at last he realizes his actions...but....

"Mick...please breathe...for you and the baby...please." Soft, concerned. Pleading. Ozzy continues murmuring into my hair, "I understand darling, I DO.... you still have doubts and may not quite trust me yet if at all. I just...want a chance, a chance to talk.... TRULY talk. Just a chance. I found my balls last night; my courage and I took a chance...FINALLY. You needed me, you've always needed me, and I realized I needed YOU...but when I did realize that and where my heart lay it was too late and I'd lost you." Ozzy pulls back enough to look at me, eyes filled with such regret and too a spark of hope. And I calm still sniffling, and to my surprise gently Ozzy thumbs away my tears, and I forget how to breathe for but a moment.

"Ok. Ok...." I whisper, my stomach growls and I can feel myself blush.

"Hungry, eh? Let's get you and our baby fed...." Ozzy pauses a moment in thought. "Wait.... last night.... did you say 'she' when talking about the baby?" Ozzy's eyes soft.

"Oh..." I think a moment, "yes.... I did, that's what I found out when...I...I ran into you the other day." I started getting upset again. I feel a hand on my face, gently.

"I cannot tell you how fucking sorry I am.... we will talk but tell you what.... I'll fix something for you. Craving anything in particular?" I gape at him stunned, his hand has yet to leave my face.

"Y-You...you'd do that for me?"

"Yes, and I realize now I'd do ANYTHING for you and our daughter.... wow, our daughter." Ozzy laughs and cries both.

"Um..." I begin, "I'd love...well Shepard's pie, I have a shit ton of food and I've really been craving that lately, its fresh stuff."

"Then that's what you'll get....and if you're wondering, I can cook. I know my way around the kitchen." Damn, does Ozzy surprise me. He doesn't let me protest, asking me if I need anything and again when I try and protest, he gently tells me he WANTS to help me, and I place the talk we are going to have in the back of my mind for now for I know it won't be an easy one. But I find myself agreeing to a foot and back massage, me groaning and crying tears of relief. And I find myself dozing off....

I am woken by the most delicious and mouth-watering smells; I can feel Angel kick me eagerly.

"That smells WONDERFUL!" I inhaled deeply, and Ozzy chuckled.

"Oi, I'm British I bloody better know how to make this."

I am SO touched, and I note on the tray is something to drink and to my surprise Raspberry Marmalade and Soda Bread. I INHALE MY food, Angel kicking me repeatedly in delight and after I am done, I let loose a loud burp and my cheeks redden in embarrassment.
