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

Chapter 33: The Demon's Bundles of Joy Part 2 (Gene Simmons POV)

It's hard to believe what 40 years has passed almost since I made the worst mistake of my life, well before I FINALLY came to terms with my feelings about my husband of the past 4 decades, technically 39 years to be exact and not only has it been that long since I came to terms with my feelings, but also with the fact that I was going to be a father. For so damn long, given what my mother went thru...marriage and kids, were a huge 'no' for me and I'd been so against love with a woman or as it turns out a man. I hurt Nikki and I still regret it to this day, for a time I lost him and our oldest twins: Sophie and Nick, but I realized I needed him...we needed each other and that I desperately wanted to prove that I loved him and our children. That I wanted it ALL. I give huge credit to Mick Mars-Osbourne for his logic, his advice, I wasn't kidding when I told him that it ended up saving me. But ah yes, the birth of Nick and Sophie, I was THERE. I could never forget it, all the pain Nikki was in, how that killed me...but he did it anyway for US and the way he looked holding our children in his arms, talking to him.... that is also forever seared into my memory.

Nikki is still murmuring to Nick and Sophie, hair sticking out as always in a thousand different directions, defying the laws of gravity, he's very much pained and exhausted.... but the point is I have NEVER seen a more beautiful sight than the one before me: my family. My mother is thrilled of course, two grandchildren to spoil mercilessly not that I blame her. She is also a mother to Nikki, which I know means so much to him. I am still weeping in joy, gently grabbing their tiny little hands as mine dwarf theirs, but God are they warm and beautiful.

"Talk to them Genie."

"They better not grow up thinking that's my name." I quip fondly.

"But Genie...." Nikki teases, smirk playing upon his lips which I kiss carefully. "I can feel how much you love them. They love your voice, very soothing."

I speak to my children for the first time outside of the amazing womb they were housed in for 8 months and my heart is so full.

"I love you both so much....and forgive me for even a MOMENT for EVER thinking that I didn't want this, want the two of you. I promise to be the best daddy ever, the father I never had, and I promise to do more than spoil you, though I can't lie its gonna happen...but I promise to encourage you, guide you, support you in whatever you decide to do in life AND whoever you decide to love. I promise too to always treat your Jewel of a mother as my QUEEN. If it wasn't for him....it wouldn't be a life at all, same for the both of you. You 3 are all my world."

"Gene." Nikki sobs.

After they spend more time bonding with Nikki, they start falling asleep as carefully both Sophie and Nick are placed in my arms.

"Wow....so this.... This is what it's like to hold you both in my arms. This is the best feeling in the world. Sleep well you two. Love you both." I whisper, tearfully kissing each of their little foreheads and start lowly singing them a lullaby until they are fully asleep, and I realize that Nikki too is asleep, "Nikki.... Thank you, thank you my Jewel. I love you...sleep, you've more than earned it." I whisper, carefully being mindful of our sleeping children lean over to kiss him. Carefully I stand and place Nick and Sophie in their little bassinet, covering them with a blanket...lingering making sure they are ok.... making sure they are close to Nikki and I as I join my family in sleep....

I am woken by two loud cries but before I can even move, a groggy and rapidly starting to panic Nikki croaks out, "Are they ok?!"

"Nikki they may need to be fed and I'll check their little diapers ok.... i know that look, you are learning and so am I, you won't mess this up.... you are already an amazing mother." I very much mean every word, every word. Nikki nods tearfully, looking at me gratefully as I quickly reach for our wailing children, soothing them and checking their diapers just in case.... nope, dry...well duh, they haven't fed yet. "Nikki? I believe the doctor said with the hormones from the babies and all...did you wanna try having them suckle from you?" I rocked Nick and Sophie in my arms, not wailing now but fussy.

"You know they'll drain me dry if this works." Nikki quips playfully, his tone turning tender as he lets down his hospital gown, very much still exhausted. "I would love to try...as weird as this is, its...so beautiful."

"It is." I agree as I help my fiancée with holding Nick and Sophie and he and I wait with bated breath, eager to see if they latch on and they do, making my fiancée start a bit and both of us laugh and cry both. "Wow.... you look...STUNNING.... I mean...this...is one of the most beautiful moments of my life!" I start watching as my children continue to suckle away.

"I could say the same, this is one of the most amazing things.... that has ever happened to me Gene and you are HERE. Its everything." Nikki says softly so as not to disturb our feeding children. I am here...and here I'll always be.

Naturally Nick and Sophie aren't full so each of them is switched and after a bit they are both fully fed and then burped, happy and content and...sleepy.

I hold Sophie, Nikki holds Nick our son and together we are close to one another in bed.

To my surprise, Nikki starts singing.... A kiss Song, and I sing with him as we sing and rock our precious little bundles back to sleep.

"They take after us both, we love our sleep....and our food....and each other." I whisper, smoothing back our daughter's hair.

"Truer words have never been spoken.... when will the guys visit?"

"They wanted to give us plenty of time, I can tell you Paul is especially chomping at the bit, any excuse for him to buy clothes and show off his DIVA side." I laugh lightly.

"Have you met my lead singer?" Nikki asks rhetorically.

"Touché."

Nikki and I switch off after a bit, me holding Nick and my fiancée holding Sophie and then both of us fucking bawl, when they take the twins to be cleaned and checked on. Nikki buries his head in my chest, as I run my fingers through his untamable mane.

"W-Why.... Did they have to take them? C-Couldn't they have cleaned them here? They'll bring Nick and Sophie back right Genie?" Nikki asks rapidly and fearfully, and despite my own tears I gently cup his face in my hands.

"They had to take them and make sure they are healthy and cleaned.... Believe me Nikki, I didn't want them too, and I promise in my life they will bring our children back. "Softly, firmly.

"Ok...Ok." Nikki breaths, "Genie? I love you.... i really fucking love you. I am so HAPPY that...that you love me too. Thank you."

"Jewel, my most priceless of treasures, you, and our little gems.... are my life...and I too am happy, truly happy for the first time in my life because of YOU Nikki Sixx and our children."

"Gene...you said my name wrong...." Nikki pauses a moment before he smiles, "Its Nikki Simmons-Sixx."

"I love that...." I breathe these words across his lips before sealing them with my own. And Nikki and I bask in our love, as we cuddle together waiting on our precious bundles of joy to be brought back from the nursery.
