Best Friends

I couldn't be happier, I had the girl of my dreams sitting on top of me and she'd just agreed to marry me again. Nothing could make this moment better. I trailed my hand down her back until I got to the waistband of her jeans. Scratch that, we could be naked, that would make this moment better!

"Are you ready to go, baby?" she asked, stroking my face softly.

I nodded, I couldn't wait to get out of this place. I'd been here for six weeks and although it was a nice place, I just needed to get out, be with my girl in familiar surroundings, start to move on from this and look to the future.

She smiled and pushed herself off of me, I resisted the urge to pull her back down on top of me again, I had missed her like crazy last night, the same as I had done every night since she first left when I was in the hospital. Roseanne felt like home to me, and I couldn't get enough of her time or attention. She held down a hand to me and I took it, letting her help me off of the bed and onto my feet. I hated that I needed help for things, but I guess there was nothing I could do about it. I just needed to accept that until everything was back to normal then there would be little things that would have to change. My body was getting stronger everyday, if I carried on with the training the way I had been then in a few months everything would be perfect again.

She went to grab my suitcase so I took her hand, kissing the engagement ring that she still wore, before taking the handle of the case. It was a pull along so I wouldn't have to lift it anyway, she was just being over cautious as usual.

I said my goodbyes to all of the staff on my way out, ignoring the one nurse that I tried to stay away from because she was an obsessive flirt. She really was terrible, she wasn't too bad in front of Roseanne but in the evenings she was boarding or sexual harassment. I couldn't keep the grin off of my face as I walked out of the front door for the last time, heading over to Roseanne's car. She was obsessively tapping away on her phone, she looked so happy that it made my heart drum in my chest.

Roseanne drove us back to her parent's house. We were going to be staying there for a while so I could recover little more. Our apartment was on the second floor, so Sarah and Brian had offered to let us stay at their house for a month or so, so I wouldn't have to trudge up and down stairs to get home each time. Apparently they'd converted one of the downstairs rooms into a bedroom for us.

As we pulled up, I glanced over to my parent's house, next door. I didn't really want anything to do with them anymore but Roseanne being Roseanne, had convinced me to give them a second chance. I know they didn't do it on purpose but I just didn't understand how they could not know that it's something I would have wanted to happen. Roseanne wouldn't tell me exactly what happened while I was in a coma, but the general gist was that my mom had told the doctors that she was seventeen and that her age made our marriage illegal. I think there was more to it than that, I think that Roseanne was more upset with them than she let on, but if she didn't want to tell me then there was nothing I could do about it.

I got out of the car and held Roseanne's hand tightly. I couldn't wait for just some me and her time. I knew she was going to make me wait to get my hands on her, but at least I got to hold her tonight while I slept which I was excited about. I could wait for sex, I could wait forever if she wanted to. I was actually thinking of suggesting we wait until after we're married again, so that I could give her the proper wedding night that we missed out on last time because she'd fallen asleep in the bar.

We walked up to the front door she looked strangely excited. She pushed open the door and nodded for me to go in first. As I walked in, the room exploded into cheers and clapping. I jumped a mile until I looked around and spotted all of our friends standing around, balloons everywhere, banners on the wall saying welcome home. I grinned as I understood while she looked excited. She'd arranged a welcome home party for me.
