A Meryl and Maks Fanfic

Chapter 20: The Finale

Chapter 20
The Finale
Maks
Nine months ago I had a dream that I had a beautiful baby girl with my beautiful wife Meryl. I never thought that that dream would come true so soon. But it has because right now I am standing in the delivery room holding our newest member to the Chmerkovskiy family in my arms. She looks so content, like she belonged in my arms. Meryl lay on her side in her hospital bed, sweat causing her gorgeous black hair to stick to her face, sleeping the delivery off. We named our daughter Viktoriya, she was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen, besides her mother of course. Viktoriya was born naturally and as healthy as any baby that came out here. I didn't want to let her go but the nurse told me that she had to put her with the other babies for now. When she left with our baby I went to Meryl's side. Even after giving birth she still looked like a fallen angel. I moved the hair out of her face and behind her ear. I kissed her forehead and just watched her sleep until I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Congratulations Bro." Val said and hugged me. I couldn't stop smiling, Meryl moved slightly
"Maks..." she whispered in her sleep and opened her eyes lazily, "Hi Val." She smiled and lifted her hand to take mine.
"Hey Mer. Good work girl. She's beautiful just like her mother and she even has your eyes." Val said and patted Meryl on the head. Her smile grew and she tried to get up. I helped her sit up, careful of any pain she might be feeling right now. She gave me a grateful smile and squeezed my hand.
"Is she... okay?" Meryl asked hesitantly, I knew she was thinking about the last baby, not even being able to be born or given a life of it's own. All because of mood swings and pride that didn't want to be crushed. It was both of our faults that the baby died but Meryl still took the blame for the whole thing and I could see it in her eyes that she was scared that something bad had happened to our daughter now. But nothing had. We had been so careful for the past 9 months, I walked with her almost everywhere she went, hovered when she got up or sat down. I was the overprotective husband that basically pregnant proofed the entire house. Of course I got on Meryl's nerves and when I noticed it the most I tried to calm down and ease up a bit because I didn't want to start a fight again. And Meryl didn't say a word because she didn't want to start anything either. There was a lot of tension in the house for those 9 months and now we had a perfectly healthy baby and Meryl needed to know that.
"Meryl, she's perfect. Absolutely perfect. Healthy as a horse, perfect as a pony," Meryl was laughing which made me want to continue but I didn't know what else to say so I ended with "As beautiful as her gorgeous mother, and exactly how I imagined her." I said softly, leaning towards Meryl and pressing my lips against hers tenderly.
"I love you." Meryl whispered into my mouth.
"Not as much as I love you." I said smiling.
"More." she said and smiled back. My eyes widened in mock shock and I leaned back slightly.
"That's a lot of love Meryl, are you sure you love me that much because I don't know... I love you so much it hurts." I said trying not to smile. It was harder than I thought. I don't know how Meryl was doing it. She was completely straight faced.
"Positive." She said, then a beautiful smile broke across her face. "Lets be in pain together."
"if you insist." I said and let the smile spread across my face as well. We started laughing and I kissed her again.
"Ahem!" Val said just standing there watching our exchange of affection. "Still here. But if you two want to go ahead and keep going I don't mind getting a free show." He said and collapsed into the chair behind him, reclining his feet on the small table. I glared at him half-heartedly and looked over at Meryl who was blushing. I loved it when she blushed, it made her seem so innocent and adorable. I laughed and she narrowed her eyes at me but I could see the small smile forming on her lips.
"Don't you laugh at me Maksim Chmerkovskiy." She scolded and laughed when she heard me wince at the use of my whole name.
"I'm sorry, but you are very cute when you blush. I might have to make you do it more often." I said, seeing her face soften a little at me calling her cute.
"Just watch it." She said, always having to put me in my place. "When do I get to see our baby again?" she asked. I loved the way she said our baby it made my heart fill with such love for her I thought it would burst. I need to get her home so we could finally start being a family with our little daughter.
"Soon. Then we can take her home and finally have the family we've always wanted." I saw the love in her eyes and the happy tears forming. I quickly wiped them away knowing that she didn't want anyone to see her cry. She could cry with me though. She could do anything with me, I was there for her and she knew it.
"So? Have any other visitors yet?" Val asked, breaking the small moment that Meryl and I were having.
"Yes." I said with a sigh, "Grandma came when Meryl was sleeping."
"Aw I missed her? How was she?" Meryl asked, smiling.
"She was beyond happy, she wouldn't stop hugging me." I sat on the bed next to Meryl and she moved over to give me more room them leaned into my chest. "Let me tell you, our grandmother is a strong women. I'm glad you were sleeping because she would have probably hugged you to death." I felt Meryl shake with laughter and heard Val laughing on the other side of the room.
"Yeah that's Grandma for ya. Okay I'm going to go and leave you two so you can be alone." Val got up and headed towards the door.
"No Val stay, we don't want to kick you out." Meryl said, but I was happy he was leaving I would finally have Meryl to myself.
"Nah, it's fine Mer. Maks doesn't like to share for too long. I'll see you later, congratulations again." he said, laughing on his way out.
"I feel bad." Meryl said looking up at me.
"Don't. Now we can be alone." I said and kissed her forehead "I love you."
"I love you too." she said and took my face in her hands pulling me to her lips. We kissed for what felt like forever but ended too quickly.
"Thank you." I panted, she gave me a questioning look.
"For what?"
"For everything. For being my wife. For bringing that gorgeous baby into our world." I said
"Oh, Maks." She said, and kissed me again, this time a light tease of a kiss. "Thank you."
"Meryl..." I protested but she stopped me.
"No, it's my turn." she said and pressed her lips on my neck. "Thank you, for being my husband." She kissed along my jaw line, "For helping me bring that gorgeous baby into our world." She kissed my chin, "for sticking with me when I was a pregnant bitch... twice." Then she slowly met her lips with mine, slightly biting my bottom lip "And thank you for everything else you'll do for me in the future." She said against my mouth. My hands were in her hair and pulled her to me as I kissed her harder.
"You always have to one up me don't you." I said, smiling.
"Yup." She said playfully then kissed my nose. "Now lets go get our baby."
After a brief conversation with the nurse we were able to take our baby home. She never left Meryl's arms not even on the way home. She sat there completely mesmerized by the baby in her arms and I'll admit it, if I wasn't driving I would've been too. The ride home was peaceful and at every stop sign and light I was able to glance over at the two most beautiful women in my life. When did I get so lucky?
Meryl
When did I get so lucky? How was I able to get such an amazing man in my life who could produce such a beautiful offspring? I held her in my arms the whole way home and couldn't keep my eyes off of her. I would occasionally sense Maks glancing at us and wondered what he was thinking. When we got home Maks hurried out of his side and opened my door helping us out. I smiled up at him grateful to have him in my life. He grabbed everything from the back seat in his big strong arms and lead us to the front door. He managed to open the door and let us in. What were we suppose to do now? That was the question. Me personally just wanted to sit on Maks' lap and admire what we had created. But that creation was asleep right now and I didn't want to disturb her. So after greeting my lovable puppy, Bear, I went straight to the room next to mine and Maks' which was being turned into Viktoriya's room. It was painted a light purple with the quote "Go Confidently in the Direction of Your Dreams, Live the Life You Imagined." written on the wall in black above her crib. That was my favorite quote and it said everything that Maks and I wanted for our daughter. I put Viktoriya in her crib and caressed her little patch of black hair. I laughed softly to myself thinking of where she got that patch of hair from. Maks would love to hear my theory. I turned the baby monitor on and took it's buddy with me when I left the room. I looked in on her sleeping figure for a second longer then shut off the light. Bear was still barking at me for attention so I gave him a hug and a bunch of kisses so he wouldn't wake the baby. He followed me as I made my way to Maks who was laying on the couch, waiting for me. Bear went to the middle of the floor and curled up into a big fluffy ball. I rounded the couch and made it to the open side draping my leg over his stomach so I was straddling him. I winced and his smile turned to a worried frown.
"What's wrong?" he asked. I laughed
"Maks. I gave birth today, it's normal to be a little sore." I said, laying completely on his chest. I felt something harden beneath me. "Are you really turned on by that?" I asked appalled. He squirmed a little and gave me a sheepish smile.
"Don't blame me it's got a mind of it's own. It pops up whenever you mention that spot." he said and wrapped his arms around me.
"God, Maks. Well tell it that I just gave it a baby so it should be a good boy and calm down for a little while." I said and tried to ignore it by snuggling in close to his chest. I felt him shake with laughter.
"Alright Meryl I'll try but no promises. It likes you too much." this conversation was going south rather quickly.
"Alright then if you can't calm it down I'll just give you two some privacy." I said and made the slightest move to get up. Maks' arms immediately tightened around me, holding me in place.
"We'll behave." he said, and kissed my forehead.
"Good, because I'm too tired to get up anyway." I said closing my eyes and relaxing further.
"You know if it's really that sore I could always give you a massage and..."
"Maks!" I scolded. He laughed and kissed my hair.
"Okay baby, sleep. I'll be right here with you." he said as I drifted off into darkness.
I woke up to loud crying in my ear. No not crying, shrieking. It was the baby monitor. And the baby was awake. I looked at the time: 1:30am
"uhhh." I moaned and carefully lifted myself off of Maks thinking he was asleep and yelped when his hands tightened around my waist.
"I'll go. You need rest." he grumbled and lifted me off of him and placed me back on the couch when he was off of it. He stretched his sore muscles and made his way to the baby's room. I looked over at a Bear who was lost in a dream that made him twitch in his sleep. I could've went back to sleep but I wanted to see how he was with the baby. So I silently walked to the baby's room myself and peeked inside. What I saw made tears come to my eyes. Maks holding Viktoriya in his arms, rocking her back and forth, singing a lullaby in Russian. It was beautiful. And it was working. She was asleep in an instant, cuddling closer to his chest. I didn't want to ruin it but I had to get closer. I closed the distance between us and wrapped my arms around his waist, leaning my head on his shoulder.
"I love you so much." I said and felt Maks bend down to kiss my head.
"I love you too." he whispered. We stood like that for a while longer until we heard little snores coming from our bundle and Maks put her back in her crib. We made our way to our bedroom hand in hand. I couldn't be close enough to him. I just wanted to feel his warmth. We got in bed and I pressed his body as close as it could be to mine in a big hug. I clung to him as he played with my hair and told me how grateful he was to have two beautiful girls in his life. I nodded and buried my face in his chest using him as my pillow and dozed off to the sound of his heart beating.
Maks
I woke up with Meryl still pressed against my body. I definitely wasn't complaining, I loved her more than words could describe and she loved me the same. I could feel that last night while she clung to me afraid of letting me go. She needed me in the same way I needed her. Sometimes I just needed to feel her warmth beside me. I didn't want to leave her but I had to check on the baby so I slowly peeled her arm off of me and backed out of the bed without her stirring. I tiptoed to the baby's room and looked at Viktoriya asleep. As if she could sense someone watching her she chose that moment to wake up. Before she could start to cry, I took her out of her crib and rocked her in my arms. She seemed to relax a bit especially when I started to sing like I did last night. I carefully took her into the kitchen, Bear not too far behind me, and prepared a bottle for her. I heard Bear whimper as he pushed his empty food bowl with his nose.
"Okay boy, after I feed Viktoriya." I said and tested the bottle on my wrist...prefect. I carefully placed the nipple of the bottle in Viktoriya's mouth and felt her tug slightly with her lips in order to get the milk out. I watched in amazement as she finished off the bottle. When I turned around to put the bottle down I almost ran into Meryl, who stood on her tippy toes and gave me a luxurious kiss on the lips.
"Good morning to you too." I said when it was over.
"You looked so adorable when you were watching her I didn't want to disturb you." she said then kissed Viktoriya on the forehead.
"You would never be disturbing me my love." I said and kissed her again. I heard Bear whimper again and sighed. "Meryl can you hold Viktoriya while I feed Bear?" I asked
"Of course, come here baby girl." she said taking her from me. I bent down where Bear was and ruffled up his fur on his head. He was so big, already almost fully grown. He licked my face playfully and wagged his tongue fiercely.
"Alright buddy lets eat." I took his massive size bag of food out of the cabinet and scooped his food into his bowl. He devoured it all almost before I could give him fresh water. Crazy dog. I thought and laughed out loud. I turned back to Meryl to find that she wasn't there anymore. "Mer?" I called out then went towards the living room.
"You're such a beautiful baby girl. And you're going to grow up to be the perfect little angel just like your daddy. Well, mostly like your daddy. Daddy can be a little devilish sometimes. Shh. Don't tell him I said that." she laughed to herself. I smiled as I saw her sitting on the couch where she couldn't see me, talking to our baby. "We'll teach you how to dance and how to skate. We'll take you all over and spoil you and give as much love as we can and more."
"You have it all figured out huh?" I interrupted, making her jump in surprise.
"Maks! Your scared me. How long have you been standing there?" she asked and became even more adorable when she blushed.
"Long enough to come to a very serious conclusion." I said , walking over to kneel in front of her and the baby.
"What kind of conclusion?" she asked suspiciously.
"The kind where I realize just how happy I am. And how you are the most amazing woman I have ever met and somehow make me love you even more with each day that I spend with you. And now you have brought into the world the only other thing that I ever needed to complete my life. A beautiful perfect bundle of joy that is going to grow up too fast and remind me of her gorgeous mother whenever I look into her face. Who will bring tears to my eyes when she calls me Papa. And that I am in love with you so much that it hurts. God Meryl, I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of this perfect life I have with you and the little girl in your arms. I'm a happy man thanks to you and nothing can make this life any more perfect then you have." I leaned over and kissed her as hard as I could trying to transfer the happiness I had inside of me into her, to make her understand how much I love her. I could taste her salty tears but knew it wasn't sadness she was feeling.
"Don't cry my love." I said but she continued to anyway.
"God Maks, what you do to me. Stay right here. She said and carried Viktoriya back to her room. I watched as she quickly reappeared and ran (and kind of fell) into my arms hugging me with her life. She had her legs wrapped around my waist and arms around my neck while I was still kneeling on the floor.
"I needed to hug you for real and I was afraid to squish the baby." she pulled away slightly so she can look me in the eyes. "I love you with every fiber of my being Maksim Chmerkovskiy and you are the most amazing man I have ever met which is why I married you. I am so beyond grateful for everything we have done together and I love you more every time I see you with that baby and then I think how we made that. You and I made that amazing baby together. She is proof of our love for each other and every time I look at her I will be reminded of how much I love you. I cherish every moment we spend together and I never want to leave your side. We are going to have an amazing life together as a family. I love you so much." she said and kissed me as hard as I did her after my little speech. She was my women and I couldn't believe how far we had come, she has become my life and now we have added a new addition to our family and it couldn't be anymore perfect then this. My heart beat rapidly as I kissed her until our lips were numb.
"I love you Meryl Elizabeth Chmerkovskiy."
"I love you Maksim Aleksandrovich Chmerkovskiy."
We are going to have an amazing life together as a family. yes we are...

**Dear Readers,
I send my apologies to all of you for not producing this chapter earlier on. I have made you wait far too long. At first it was finals that got in the way but then it was just plain writer's block. But I have finally created the chapter that I think is a great way to end this little story. I wanted to make this the longest chapter yet so I could give you guys something that was maybe worth waiting for. But as I kept typing I found the perfect way to end it and it happened to be much shorter than I would've liked. Hopefully I will come back to this someday and continue the story for you but for now this is the end of my Meryl and Maks fan fiction. Thank you all for reading this, was the first time I have ever let anybody read what I wrote and I hope you all enjoyed it <3
^That was the author of this fanfic.
I'm angry, she didn't tell me she was ending it. She said I'd be happy and mad. Anyway, I hope you guys liked it as much as I did! **
