My Only hope

Chapter 16: Weekend Away Part Two

Melody's P.O.V

I wake up wrapped in Tom's arms and I try to wiggle out of his arms as quickly and quietly as possible. I succeed in doing this and walk to the kitchen to make something to eat. On our way to the kitchen, I stop in the bathroom to pee and check the results of last night's test. I smile when I find that it negative and head to the kitchen.

The kitchen is a cute little room. It has darkly stained cabinets that I identify as oak wood. It has a nicely finished, polished wooden floor with black and white appliances. In the middle of the ceiling is a traditional long bulbs in a wooden frame. I wonder if oak is their favorite type of wood because it was all over the kitchen.

I walk to the fridge, take out some eggs, grab a pan, plates, bread, toaster butte, salt, and pepper. I'm halfway finished cooking the eggs when two strong arms wrap around my waist and a chin rest on my shoulder.

"Good morning Tommy," I say as I lean backwards into him.

"Good morning beautiful," he says before pecking my cheek.

"Did you sleep alright," I question.

'Yes I did. So you do know how to cook," he comments.

"I've always known how to cook. I just have you cook because you're better at it."

"I doubt that highly."

"Alright, try this," I say handing him a plate of eggs and buttered toast. He takes a few bites, then sets the plate back down on the counter. "What do you think?"

"I think those are the best eggs I've ever had."

He gives me a tight hug before we sit down and eat. After finishing breakfast, we wash the dishes together, get some clothes from our suitcases, and head to the shower. It's a lot less awkward and the transition from showering to sex was a lot smoother. We help each other get dressed and go to the living room to sit on the couch.

"Tom, do you think one of these days while we are having sex in the shower that you are going to knock me up?"

"Honestly I don't really know. It's possible, but most likely won't happen. Why does this worry you all of a sudden?"

"I just thought about it and thought that I should bring it up to you before it actually happens or it starts to drive me crazy."

"Alright, how about we not worry about it unless it actually happens," he suggests before kissing the top of my head. I nod and close my eyes. I don't realize this, but I ended up falling asleep.

~Dream Sequence~

"Honey, can you help me with the twins," I ask my loving husband.

"I sure can," he says grabbing our baby girl off my lap. Tom is an amazing husband and an even better father. He throws little April up in the air and catches her, earning a fit of giggles from our beautiful daughter. I lift Nick and give him little kisses all over his little cheeks. "Melody, save some for me."

A few minutes later, our three year old daughter Sara comes in crying.

"Mommy," she sobs. "I fell off the bed."

Tom takes Nick off my lap and Sara climps on. I rock and rob her back while humming "hush little baby." I rock her for an hour before she wants to be held by her daddy. She jumps off my lap, Tom hands me the twins, and finally lifts Sara up.

"Baby girl, do you want to watch one of your movies with daddy?"

She nods and they leave the room. All of a sudden the twins start to say my first name over and over again.

~End of Dream Sequence~

I wake up to Tom gently shaking my arm and softly saying "Melody." When he sees my eyes open, he gives me a sweet, loving smile.

"You dozed there for a minute. You must have been having a good dream because you were smiling in your sleep. What were you dreaming about honey?"

"The future," I say with a groggy voice and a smile on my face. We sit in silence for a minute and he gets an upset look on his face. "What's wrong Tommy."

"When we get home tomorrow, I won't be able to hang out with you."

"Why not," I ask sitting up a little bit.

"I have to visit my dad since I haven't seen him in so long. I don't want to, but I have to."

I lay back down and roll so he can't see the look of pain on my face. My crabbiness is really starting to show because I start to cry. My tears are all soaked up by Tom's shirt when he rolls me back over and hugs me tight to him chest.

"Melody please don't cry. I don't like this anymore than you do. On Monday we are back at school and we have all classes together. We will be inseverable all day, I promise."

"That doesn't make me feel any better. I want to be able to curl up into your side tomorrow."

"You can come home with me. My parents need to know that I have a girlfriend anyway."

"No, I want you home with me," I sob. In an attempt to calm me down, he starts to rub my back. Back rubbing won't stop my crabbiness. I yell "NO" and swat his hand away from me, so he wraps his arms around me and squeezes me to his chest. I try to fight out of his grip, but eventually get tired and give up. "Fine, but I'm still mad."

"I know honey," he says and kisses the top of my head. "I love you Melody."

"Can you say that in italian?"

"Ti amo Melody."

"Ti amo Thomas."

"Why use Thomas instead of Tom or Tommy?"

"Because I can," I say laying my head in the centre of his chest. "I'm tired Tommy. Can we take a nap please?"

"Sure."

He adjusts himself so we are laying down and pulls the blanket that it draped over the back of the couch so it is over top of us. We wrap our arms around each other and drift off into a peaceful slumber.
