Kiss Your Crϋe Goodbye (A Kiss & Mӧtley tale)

Chapter 72: My Beloveds (Eric Carr aka the Fox)

Family.... love, home.... LIFE. It's hard to believe that there was a point in my life where those words, those words.... once had no meaning, though I wished DESPERATELY for them to come true, wanted them so damn bad. Eric Mars Singer, SAVED my life...gave me a miracle where there was none, my 'enemy' for a time was lost to me...but then we were reunited and I met Nikki, Nikki changed EVERYTHING. He gave me a family of my own, love.... his heart most of all. And then of course, there was our extended family which includes G'N'R. Eric went thru hell off and on for three years, and then there was his triplets.... god, it killed me to see what Mick and Erica went thru, it killed me period. My ultimate point here is this: Thanksgiving 1996...there was SO much to be thankful for, Eric was HOME with his alien....and all of us were together. Eric and Mick were exhausted, but I and Nikki being sure he didn't over do it, gave them time to themselves and helped them take care of their children and vice versa. The whole family was over, the triplets were chill being around so many people. Time was passing by too fast; I remember thinking then my son was fixing to turn 3 and I had one on the way....and where you will find us is December 6, 1996.... a few days before Nikki's birthday and Nikki was just entering his fourth month of pregnancy.

Mick insisted on Eric getting some sleep, and Eric said he would only if Mick joined him....so Mick did. In fact, Drew and Erica are taking naps along with the triplets and right now, it's just Nikki and I...Nikki who declared he was really craving pasta with pesto sauce, so I gladly made it for him, and his groans were turning me on, not gonna lie.... If you are wondering yes, we did end up having private time, and that's all I am gonna say about that for now.

Nikki groans again exclaiming, "Damn Eric this is good!" Nikki usually calls me Foxxy when we are around Eric and Mick.... but I do love the way he says my names...both.

I chuckle, "I'm glad you love it.... sides I am Italian, I ought to know how to make pasta." I can't help myself and stare at him, just admiring him.... It's always been like that really, but my attention is causing him to blush.

"What?"

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look? I can't help but get lost in you, especially now." I feel tears spring to my eyes and a hand on my face.

"I could say much the same my beloved Fox....and I..." Nikki freezes a moment alarming me, but before I can really start to panic, he quickly sets aside his pasta and places my hands on his stomach and then I KNOW. "Eric...Eric, Foxxy...the baby is kicking already! Wow.... this, this is amazing!" Laughing and crying both.

"Taking after daddy already.... telling you she will be a drummer for sure." Fondly now.

"Ya, know we don't know for sure it's a girl." Nikki teases, smirking.

"When will you admit that I am right? I was right about Drew." I counter in the same teasing tone but then my tone turns more tender, "Either way I am so happy....so very happy. Thank you, Nikki...just thank you. I love you."

"I love you more Foxxy." I can no longer contain myself and kiss him senseless, leaving him dazed and blushing from the passion and I can still feel....and I KNOW its my daughter move and kick away, Nikki does end up finishing his cravings and about the time he does, I hear our son over the baby monitor, Erica's little voice in the back ground, followed by 3 loud cries....everything happening at once, chaos....but god, is it beautiful and I'd have it no other way.

"I've got this, why don't you stay here and rest...you look tired baby."

"Ok Foxxy, but if you need me..."

"---I always need you baby, but I will call if I need you." I finish, kissing him and getting him settled on the couch, making sure the bassinets for the triplets are set out and then head upstairs to the children's rooms, passing the nursery where I can hear Mick and Eric soothing Stormy, John and River and I open the door and to my surprise, I am tackled practically by my son, Erica hanging back playing with her stuffed alien. I scoop up Drew, who is very excited to see me.

"Daddy!!"

I laugh, "Someone's excited to see me!" I soften my tone, "Did you have a good nap?"

"Uh-huh..." I get worried when his little lip starts to quiver, "Where mommy? Mommy, ok? Baby, ok?"

"Mommy is downstairs resting; he needs a nap himself....and guess what?" I soothe/ask my son.

"What daddy?"

"Your little brother or sister started kicking!" Excited now.

"Weawwy! Cool..." Drew frowns again, "Sure mommy ok daddy?"

"Very sure, mommy just needs lots of rest." I reassure him and I look around and realize Erica is gone and before I can panic, I see and hear Nikki who clarifies...

"I checked on her, she's with Eric and Mick.... she saw me and said I looked tired, and she was gonna get Mick and you after me if I didn't lay down."

I eye him concerned and exhale in relief both, "Ok good....and let's get you settled in our room. I bet money Drew here has to pee, so I'll take care of that..."

Nikki cuts me off with a kiss, "Eric...Foxxy...I'll take care of it, sides I promise you the baby is ok and so am I."

"I can never say 'no' to you Nikki." I state softly. Nikki takes Drew to potty, holding his little hand me trailing along behind him, watching over all three of my loves and after Drew potties and cleans his hands he insists on helping Nikki get in bed and he wants to feel the babies before Nikki sleeps.

Drew giggles sweetly rubbing his mother's stomach as the baby kicks at his little hands and my heart melts, and I find tears in my eyes at witnessing such a beautiful scene, he kisses Nikki's belly and says to his...sister, I know in my heart I am right, but anyway, "---Sweep now k? Mommy need wots a west daddy say, I wuv ew." My hand engulfs my sons and I feel the baby has calmed and I realize Nikki is asleep, before I leave the room for now, I whisper to Nikki....

"Thank you, Nikki, for giving me our little kits and for making me believe in love again. I love you." I gently kiss his lips and scoop up Drew...

If you're wondering, I did or rather Drew and I went to visit with Eric, Mick and the triplets, Erica too of course, me helping and they in turn...and that included my son insisted I stay with Nikki and they'd look after Drew, I protested but they in the end won. I knew though that they were right, so I slipped back into the room I shared with my husband, admiring the vision I saw before me, before stripping down to my t-shirt and boxers and joining my husband in bed, feeling on top of the world and so very much in love with Nikki.
