Kiss Your Crϋe Goodbye (A Kiss & Mӧtley tale)

Chapter 47: Our Martian Princess Part 3

My labor was long with Erica....it was painful, but that physical pain was NOTHING compared to the abuse I once suffered at those monsters' hands and the mental. The point here is I'd gladly go thru it over and over...and in fact I have, as Mick and I did have more children. I could never forget her birth, the feel of her.... her little feet, face...hands...how magical it all was...course that never changed with my other children. Erica.... god, her suckling from me, her first feeding.... the fact that she looks so like my Micky, well it meant everything to me. And the day she was born was also the day one Andrew Charles Carr was born, his birth I would come to know, was fast...extremely painful. Nikki felt guilty as fuck, like it was his fault for having been so afraid and I could understand how he felt.... but it fucking wasn't his fault...Fox would help him get thru that. But ah yes, Andrew and Erica.... well, I won't give everything away....But I WILL say it was and is very special that Andrew and Erica share the same birthday in time you will come to see and speaking of which: where you next find me is the following day, me...my husband and my precious little girl and I would also officially meet Andrew....and, our other family members would already have visited....

"Look at her Mick...I STILL CAN'T believe she's here....and she's ok. Our little fighter." Fondly, emotionally, and softly all at once, as she is currently suckling from me.

"I know...I KNOW...oh Sapphire." Mick sniffles, brushing back Erica's hair.

"I didn't mean to make you cry Mick..." I started crying myself, feeling guilty.

"Eric, its ok.... believe me you." Firm, but gentle.... it's just my alien's way. "Erica was as Vince said 'chill' being around so many people earlier, taking after me."

Erica is soon full, and I carefully burp her, and a thought occurs which I bring to my husband's attention after Erica is cuddled against my chest....

"Mick? Um....do you think it would be ok to visit with Nikki and Fox? I'd love to see them and meet Andrew.... plus, we could also maybe, let Nikki properly meet Erica?" I ask.

Mick SMILES and God...I can never get over how much I love his smile....

"Sure, we can, and I know it would mean a lot especially to Nikki, cheer him up too." Mick's expression fills with concern, "if it gets to be too much for you...."

"---I'll let you know Micky, and I know you'll take care of me." I finish my husband's thought as he once again smiles at me, his smiles that I truly feel he only bestows on me and now our daughter, as he then kisses me and then Erica's little forehead as a wheelchair for me is called for, me groaning when I am helped in it....but I assure Mick I am ok, as he hands me Erica as she'd been placed in her bassinet we had in the room.

Erica is wide awake staring up at me as Mick wheels me to Nikki's room and I whisper to her although I KNOW Mick can also hear, "Erica were gonna go see Nikki and Uncle Fox and little Andrew, and you get to meet them. I know they love you already, just like I and daddy love you so much, my little Martian princess." I feel more than I see Mick smile, eyes filled with tears as I am in much the same state.

At last, we enter the room...Fox and Nikki, whose green eyes fill with tears, both look so surprised and yet touched....

Mick explains, "Eric wanted to meet Andrew properly and for you to see Erica too. Also, he figured it would help to cheer you up Nikki."

Nikki tearfully replies glancing at his son who is being held by Fox, "Thank You...it means a lot.... I f-felt bad I couldn't...I mean...." He fumbles.

"It's OK, I know it doesn't feel like it but it IS. You and I both know what it's like to be afraid and I imagine your son's birth was scary and extremely painful, and you feel it's your fault he came early. I can understand what that's like, and I also know like me you have a partner at your side who'd do anything for you, showing you over and over you are not alone. Plus, you've got family who love you dearly." I am in tears, Erica though is calm as Mick gets her and I settled before setting down beside me and Mick looks to me in awe and love, such love.

"I owe it all to you, you know Eric. If Mick...hadn't have saved your life, MINE wouldn't have been saved. So, thank you...now, I'd love to hold her, and you can hold my son, my precious little son." Nikki murmurs tearfully. Mick carefully takes Erica from me, handing her to Nikki while Fox comes around and helps me make sure Andrew is secure naturally and Mick joins me as I admire the little boy, who I can tell will have Fox's personality though he looks like both his parents.

"So, you're Andrew? Cute little guy..." I glance at my husband amused, "You were right Micky, all that hair, gonna be murder to comb thru."

Mick smirks, "See? Told ya Sapphire."

"You did babe, you did." I turn back to Andrew, who I swear smiles at me even though I know babies don't smile until they are a few months old. "It's wonderful to finally meet you, I am so glad you are ok and your mommy too. I had a baby, Erica.... you two should meet, I have a feeling you'll be best friends." I smile at the thought. Turns out I was right, and...it also turns out that Erica would wear my wedding dress....at her wedding to Andrew.

Mick holds Andrew after a while, Conversation...love and laughter and tears flow around the room as we admire one another's children and the moment that really, really get Nikki and I bawling, is when with help, everyone gathered around that Nikki holds both mine and Mick's daughter and his son, together....and I swear it looks like they hold hands.

"Mick look! How cute is this?! My feelings, I wonder...I gotta be right!"

"You are Sapphire, and you are the mate of the alien after all." Mick's tone is awed, reverent really.

"And I love that." I whisper, as we kiss....

Eventually the visit comes to an end, and it really helped Nikki a lot I could tell, Fox thanking us profusely and soon I was back in my room, exhausted and Erica asleep, being placed lovingly in her bassinet by my bed by Mick who murmurs sweetly to her, before helping me out of my wheelchair and into my bed, taking me in his arms.

"Did I ever tell you how proud I am of you? How much I love you....and our daughter? You're my worlds, my life.... god, Eric...I love you." Mick murmurs tearfully his eyes darkened by the tears, as he and I look to one another, locked in our loving embrace my breath hitches.

"Everyday Mick, everyday...every moment.... always. I feel much the same way Micky." I lean in carefully and my husband meets me as we share a long kiss, before I am layed back Mick making sure I am ok, I struggle to keep my eyes open.

"Sleep Sapphire, I am here....and I will watch over you and Erica. I love you."

"I love you too Micky." I whisper before giving in to the call of sleep.
