Save My Sparkle (Completed)

47. Tenderly

"By the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The female smiles in front of us.

I turn on the bed and kiss Nicolas tenderly.

Everything happened so fast. The lady shown up within five minutes of Nicolas calling her. The nurse and Dr. Moore came in to be a witness to it all and to sign that he is mentally stable to have made this decision.

We tried to see if he could stand but his strength is incredibly low. So we raised the bed up all the way for him to sit up completely and then I sat next to him.

Together we decided the traditional vows for this moment together for our official wedding by paper. For the ceremony we hope to have later on we will share our own personal made vows in front of family and friends.

"Congrats you two!" The lady smiles after we signed the marriage certificate. "I wish you both the best and put in a good fight." She leaves a moment later.

"Well Nicolas, you have an amazing wife and I am very happy for the both of you. However, if your Mother ask I was never here." Dr. Moore winks then chuckles before he looks over the IV machine and then a fast vitals check.

"Call the nurses station if either of you need anything. I will see you in the morning for the first round of chemo. The last blood work took since waking up does show more promising results that I like to see and definitely comfortable going forward with a more aggressive treatment." Dr. Moore stands at the end of the bed.

Nicolas nods and agrees to the treatments without a second thought.

"Will he need a transplant like he did as a child?" I speak up.

"In due time, yes. It is what will help once again but we have to work to that level again just like we done when he was a child. The only bad news is we have no clue how long it may take to reach that point. In a short time we could retest your Dad should he be willing to donate to make sure he is still a match or if not we have to find one."

Dr. Moore bids us good night before he leaves the room.

"Oh this is for you." The nurse comes back in holding something.

Nicolas accepts the piece and she smiles congratulating us before leaving.

"What is it?" I finally ask since curiousoity gets the best of me.

He flips it over and it is a polarid picture of the two of us. Sharing our very first kiss as husband and wife. My hand cupping his cheek as my ring sits on my hand, while his hand also cups my cheek where he pulled me in closer.

"I love it." I smile and then rest my head on his shoulder looking at the picture.

"It is very nice to have for our first kiss as husband and wife. Just wish it wasn't here and this oxygen tube showing." Nicolas sighs.

"Well I still love it and glad the nurse done it for us without us knowing." I smile and then lean my head back kissing his jaw.

"I love you so much Mrs. Winters." He smiles at me and I can see all the love pour through his eyes for me. No amount of exhaustion can take that away from him.

I smile hearing what my last name is now and will be as I will make sure it officially changes. "I love you more."

"Yeah I am one lucky guy." He smirks.

I carefully swat his arm, making him laugh.

"If anyone is lucky it's me. I mean come on, I got a man who brought me back to the land of the living and not just existing, and he brought me back ten times better than I ever have been. All while being done in such a short amount of time. Someone who shown me what love truly is. A person that put my family back together that seemed like Christmas magic because once again happened so very fast. A kind hearted man that stole my heart and soul."

My eyes tear up and I can't help but raising up to kiss him again.

"I'm just a person, Angel." He whispers.

"You're my person and have done so very much for me."

"You are mine too and I want to do everything for you."

"You already do and I couldn't ask for anything more." I smile.

He pulls me to him and kisses me again. "Wouldn't even ask to be some where other than here?"

"If you were healthy then yes but for now we are here and this is just a tight corner we have to turn together."

"I like how you put that."

"We are way to mushy." I can't help but laugh and it makes his eyes sparkle even brighter.

"Hey, we deserve to be mushy. We just got married." He chuckles.

"Yes we did. Now, hubby find us something to watch on that TV."

He smiles and flips through the channels until we get to a cooking show.

"Who is watching Tootles?" He asks suddenly.

"My parents have him for now. He surprising does well with Bubbles and Mom has enjoyed a lap dog. They offered because they knew all your family will be here a lot plus with Eve having Hinsel didn't want to overwhelm her when she is home."

"How have you been holding up, Angel? Really." He moves to where I lay beside him once he got the bed laying semi back down.

I sigh and curl into his side with his arm holding me too him.

"It has been hard especially not hearing your voice, seeing your eyes. I knew you would wake up there was just this feeling I can't describe. Tried to be strong but cried quite a bit honestly especially when I see Eve break down. Now though, everything feels easier since you're awake even though the road ahead is unclear everything just feels better like we got over the first hardest part. That's how Dr. Moore put it the hardest part was stabilizing you to get you awake and now that's happened it feels better."

He nods and holds me close, while promising he will fight all he can.

I know he will fight and I will be here every step of the way with him. Even if it has been repeating ourselves with some of the same words it is just promises to eases the worries, along with exhaustion still there makes things want to repeat sometimes.

Being cuddled up next to him, feeling him again makes so much lift off my shoulders. Sleep pulls hard and I hear when he whispers for me to sleep and it is like my body and mind instant agree with him.
