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

Chapter 42: Mama I'm Coming Home Part 1

I am going home.... HOME. Home sweet home, hmm.... there's an idea for a song? Hmm, I wonder what Sixx would think. No one's ever really done ballads.... Ozzy running around making sure everything was ready to go, my bags and the girls' bags. Just taking care of us all, I've got my strength back and I am ready go home and I KNOW Ozzy will make sure I take it easy as I can. I never thought.... never thought that I'd SEE home again, or my children.... but I find that I am, I am ALIVE.

I do believe Ozzy is up to something.... or has some secret, knowing him it involves spoiling me among other things and I bet money that he's involved our family. family again something I'd never say or want or have, the whole family: the Sarzo-Lee's, Vince, and Jake....it means so damned much to me.

Now, despite being exhausted from everything and the pain in my fucking back.... I can't quit smiling, for the fact and I am going home and too, I am getting Angel and Michelle settled in their carriers after having changed them into their outfits, adorable as hell! And I am talking to them, tears in my eyes....and they hang on to my every word.

"We're going home.... Mommy is FINALLY coming home, and you two, me and daddy will be together. I couldn't have done any of this without daddy, my crazy.... beloved prince of darkness." Fondly now through my tears. And I feel arms wrap carefully around me as if I am a priceless treasure. Because THAT is how he sees you, how he makes you feel.

"I'm NOT that Crazy Mick." Ozzy quips smirking slightly, his look and tone grows soft. "It didn't feel right when they made me go home and you weren't there.... echoes of you though WERE. But I am so damned happy you are coming home, you and our daughters. I love you more than words can ever say....and I have several surprises for you, I had some help as it were...I..." I cut Ozzy off by kissing him, and he quickly takes over not that I put up much of a fight and I swear our daughters are making cooing noises.... They love seeing their parents happy and in love. "Well now there was a surprise for me....and speaking of surprises...." Ozzy trails off and lifts his shirt up and I gasp, my eyes going as wide as they can go....

Where his heart would be is.... a portrait of ME, a tattoo....and script reading: My beloved firefly...Mick Mars.

I reach out carefully and touch it and I feel tears stream down my face, Ozzy places his hand over mine after informing me, the girls are both asleep and secure in their carriers.

"So, everyone will know so YOU know, you are my heart....my absolute heart and that mine always and will belong to you."

"Wow.... It's so real. I can't believe you did this for me. THANK YOU." I breathed out, still very much awed.

"Let's go home love." Softly now and so I am helped into a wheelchair, and I don't complain about once. And before I know it, the car is pulled around.... our still sleeping daughters are made secure first especially since I insist. I just cannot quit smiling....my heart is so full right at this moment, watching Ozzy make sure the carriers are in place, whispering to Angel and Michelle sweetly from what I can tell before he turns to me with a look of awe and those expressive eyes fairly glow. "I just cannot help but stare my love and get lost in your beauty."

I feel myself blush at his words as he kisses me and he helps me in the back, so I can be with our daughters, another kiss and we are on our way to our home sweet home.

All the hell I went thru for 8 months, the pain.... The sheer pain of the birth, all of it and I have to say it's been more than worth it. I would do it repeatedly, though I well imagine that it would be scary were I to have more children, especially to Ozzy.... but then again, I feel if I wanted more children and I do...he couldn't deny me that. I KNOW he wouldn't.

"Oz?" I question quietly, so as not to wake our daughters.

"Yes, my love?" Ozzy states in the same tone as me.

I feel the tears gather in my eyes, "T-Thank you...if...I haven't thanked you....it just means so much to me, that you.... everything you do, the way you take care of me and mean it, how you are with our daughters and....and, the tattoo.... letting the world know that your heart is MINE. I've NEVER had ANYONE that would do such things as you do and have done. I LOVE YOU." The tears fall freely.

And Ozzy tearfully replies with, "I still feel bloody guilty that I hurt you so much my Queen...I cannot help that...but, I earned your forgiveness, your love...your heart. And I would do anything for you, and I always will. You deserve the fucking world, you are amazing.... indescribably beautiful. i still ave' to pinch me-self at times, and you went thru HELL for me, so thank YOU."

Nothing more is said, as we lapse into a contented silence and at last, we arrive HOME. At Mars Mountain, Ozzy insisted on naming it that by the way...and so it stuck. Angel and Michelle are meanwhile still asleep, how long that will last...I have no clue, but that doesn't matter. I just want to take care of them, despite whatever pain I may be in.....

Ozzy gathers the bags and puts them in the house first and then comes rushing back to help me get our daughters in the house, him fairly beaming. I hold Michelle, Ozzy holds Angel, and carefully he manages with a free hand, open the door and he tells me....

"Welcome Home my love...now look..."

I gasp upon entering our house.......its spotless, I can tell it's recently been cleaned and there's a 'Welcome Home our Beloved Alien' Banner hanging up, my favorite flowers in a vase and Ozzy tells me there's more surprises...

"So, as you see here, everyone pitched in and cleaned the house.... plus, Simmons sent some prepared or pre-prepped meals, everyone else sent more baby stuff and stuff for us...gifts and such to help make your homecoming special. I wanted to do all this...to make sure you'd want for nothing Mick."

"This is so special!" I cry, gently rocking one of my sleeping daughters.... Carefully we walk upstairs and to the nursery and no sooner than we cross the threshold then BOTH little girls begin to wail.... Ozzy's lungs for sure. "Shh.... shh, you're ok. Sweet girls.... c'mon let's get you fed and changed, yes?" Noises of protest follow.

"You two heard your mum." Ozzy says sternly but gently, and their cries are reduced to fussing.

"How come they listen to you?" I quip.

"Because my love, my voice is magic." Ozzy smirks, so it turns out Angel and Michelle's diapers need to be changed and then after they of course need to be fed, me sitting in a comfy chair as one by one the both of them feed from my milk, me loving the feel of them....murmuring sweetly to them, it's something i love doing so much and it's easy to ignore to pain in my back, but I am struggling to stay awake as I feed them, Ozzy of course helps....and at last they are full and burped and fall thankfully back asleep. "Come my love, let's get you to sleep.... you've more than earned it." Ozzy's voice understandably contains fear, and my heart clenches at the reason, but too I hear the concern and love for me and despite my sleepy and feeble protests he carries me to our bedroom, me burrowing into his citrus and spice scent.... him like a human heater.

I am vaguely aware of my fiancée tucking me in, smoothing back my hair and kissing my lips.

"mm's I love you Oz." I murmur sleepily.

"I love you too firefly, if the girls need you, I'll wake you....and if you NEED me, I am right here." Ozzy answers as I give into the siren call of sleep....i am HOME!
