The Only Hope For Me Is You

Part 10

Sorry I'm late with the posting guys but I spent all day at the Royal Brisbane Exhibition with cowboys and sheep ;D YEE HAW!! lol excuse my oddness. I also caught the train home... Shudder... The best thing was this guy sat across from me and he was so awkward :) it was funny. He was fiddling with his satchel and had silver rimmed glasses and kept looking up from this book that he was reading and I am pretty sure I did a good job at helping to creep him out a little. My heart goes out to all weirdies on trains who must suffer my stare!!! xx

Wren’s POV:

Frank seemed careful of me, like for some reason I looked fragile to him. We got home and Percy and Pansy started playing in their room while Frank sat me down on the sofa.

   “Wren, are you okay?” He wondered, this was my husband… He really, really wanted to know and I knew I could tell him anything so I sighed. I was acting crazier than usual because so much had happened and it was the one way I could cope.

   “I woke up this morning at Poppy’s place… For some reason I thought we were still in high school and I had this weird thing where I was so confused… I was scared, when I woke up again I remembered where I was… I don’t know…” I shook my head and Frank gave me a tiny smile before taking my hand and kissing it.

   “It’s understandable… I would have been just as confused, it’s pretty weird seeing Poppy after all of these years… And everything is different, so much has changed, but we’ve gone back to the way it was almost?” He shrugged and I realised that Frank understood. Of course he did. That was why I married Frank because he was just like me, he thought the same way and understood the same things.

I nodded and felt teary, “Yeah… That’s exactly it.” I mumbled and Frank smiled before kissing me.

   “Mommy! Daddy!” Pansy squealed, “Ew!” Percy finished before they both giggled, I looked to them standing near at the door to the living room with ‘ick’ faces on.

I laughed, “Family hug!” Frank declared and they both smiled before running over and squeezing us tight. I laughed with a smile and sniffled, I realised I’d actually cried a little in my brief chat with Frank. Frank smiled at me over the top of Pansy and Percy’s red heads.

Ray’s POV:

I enjoyed how quiet Maria and my home was at night, we weren’t near a main road so you hardly ever heard cars or anything. I had to wonder whether we were missing out on anything, I knew that this time at Gee’s or Frank’s was usually the noisiest while you tried getting the kids to sleep. Were we missing out?

  Maria put a bowl of spaghetti on the table and sat across from me before putting spoons of it onto her plate. I sat silently in my thought for a moment before she eyed me, “Raymond Toro… What’s on your mind?”

I blinked and looked up to see her green eyes stuck to my face, “Um… I was just thinking that…” I stopped, would she think I was weird for thinking about this? Weren’t most guys freaked out by the subject? I wasn’t sure if I should talk about it because I wasn’t even sure how I felt about it, I was mutual, I didn’t mind if we had kids or not but I still thought about it…

    “Spit it out.” She ordered but she still had that gorgeous smile on her face, I swallowed.

I started piling pasta onto my plate, “Er, I was just thinking about how quiet it was here and wondering you know… If we should be hearing the sound of kids running around and screaming…” I mumbled, I tried making it sound casual and kept my eyes from meeting with hers but when she remained silent I looked up and her eyes were on me.
